about two and one-fourth cents, but

The rare popularity known as haem-
ophily. or bleeding sickness" has
been brought to notice anew by DR..
Boehme, a German physician. 1t con-
tinues for generation after generation
in certain families, and is character
lied by an extraordinary tendency to
hemorrhage, making the extraction OF
tooth a dangerous operation, while

fatal bleeding. The cause seems to cx-
ist in an unexplained failure OF the
blood to coaguiate like normal blood.
The loss Of energy il generating cleo
tricity and converting it into heat
makes electric heating very costly for
most purposes. In electric cooking.
however, this waste is offset by
greatly increased efficiency Of applica-
ton. A recent determination shows
that only two per cent. Of the total
heat of the ordinary kitchen range is
used for cooking the food, twelve per
cent. being wasted in obtaining glow
ing fire, seventy per cent. going up the
chimney and sixteen per cent. being
radiated into the room.
The curious dread Of cats that has
been studied for three years by DR..
S. Weir Mitchell. Of Philadelphia. may
open up wide field for investigation.
An advertisement brought 1o9 replies
from different countries-includlrS
Germany, Egypt and India-and about
two-thlrls of them mentioned cases Of
fear of cats, the others referring to
asthma from cats. This asthma, due
to odors. may be excited by the pres
ence Of horses, dogs, cats or sheep, or
even Of roses, apples, oranges or bali

His Excellency finds that it would re-
quire a margin OF seventyfour and thirty
eight one hundredths cents between the
price of cloth and its equivalent in un-
manufactured cotton to pay the requested
increase Of five per cent in wages earned
during the time which his investigation
covered This margin, would allow per
cent for mill dividends and FIVE per cent
for annual depreciation.
While the exact margin OF profit which
prevailed during the period of investga-
tion is not known since IL is a matter of
which the manufacturers alone have
knowledge Il is understood that it was
under 70 cents.
Governor Douglas does not directly
make any recommendations. but submits

ST. Petersburg. May 1T.-There is little
room for skepticism as TO the genuineness
OF the broad policy OF imperial reform af-,
ter the remarkable steps sanctioned by
Emperor Nicholas in the imperial rescript
issued yesterday modifying the restrictive
DEGREES I'm nine OF the western govern-
ments of Russia and giving the Poles
greater freedom for acquiring farming
lands and purchasing landed properties
and Industrial premises are given permis-
sion To Introduce the Polish and Lithuan-
ian languages in the primary and second-
ary schools. where the majority or the IN
habitants are non-Russian.
Almost at one sweep the whole burden
ofthe vexatious restrictive laws in Poland
and the Baltic provinces have been re-
moved and the privileges for which the
natives have been lighting for year are
restored. the assemblies of the Polish no
bles, are reestablished and all the harsh
administrative measures introduced at
the time OF the policy OF reaction and
classification are abolished unless later
for purposes OF state. after the recon-
menda ton OF the council of state they re-
ceive imperial sanction. As natural
sequence OF freedom of religion. the op-
pressive prohibition OF the purchase OF
land by Catholic peasants is abolished.
In effect. the measures sanctioned amount
10 an entire reversal OF Russian policy in
ancient Poland and the Baltic provinces.
MANY HARDsHIPs.

Poles either TO become Orthodox Rus

The hardships thus entailed were innum-
erable.
The property OF deceased Poles was
sold TO Russians by forced sale and at
ridiculous prices A famous case was
that OF the Polish estates of the late
Prince Won Hohenlohe. the German i'm
