In Holy Russia.

Millions of sunflower seeds are con-
sumed by Russians. They are either
roasted with little salt or eaten raw.
The peasant women often nave deep
dents worn in their front teeth by
constantly cracking the brittle shells.
They become very expert at this. A
seed is placed between the teeth and,
without being further touched by the
fingers, is split, the tiny kernel eaten
and the two light husks sent flying to
the ground. On Sunday afternoons
piles of husks are to be seen in a semi
circle around the doorsteps or benches
where persons have been sitting gos-
siping, each man or woman being pro-
vlded with pocketful of sunflower
seeds.
Whole fields of sunflowers are cul-
tivated expressly for the edible seeds.
The Russian watchman has an in
genious arrangement for letting
thieves know when he is coming and
giving them time to escape. He car
ries huge wooden rattle. which he
swings energetically as he advances
along the streets, giving full warning
to timid burglars of his approach, but
efectually preventing any drowsiness
on the part of the unfortunate inhab-
itants of the houses.
The Russian peasant woman has a
peculiar method of washing her baby
She fills her mouth with water and ex-
pertly sprays 1t over the object of hel
maternal solicitude. Flowers are of.
ten watered in the same manner.

to the call. The increased tempera-
ture is but a symptom, and a favor

And one is for love, you know;
And God put another one in for luck

have faith.
You must be strong. and so
If you work, if you wait, YOU will find

INVESTIGATING LAKE SHORE WRECk
No Results from Reward-Engineer Did all
He Could.

ruo,od Tune o4-The officials of the Lake
cho-a 1,aiiroad who are investigating the cause
o- the wreck at Mentor on Wednesday night have
gathered much information. which, however
they decline to make public. for fear of giving
warning to possible cuIprits who might nave
been responsible for the wreck.
The offer of reward of $4,000 has not yet
brought any returns, but it is expected that oe-
tectives from all parts of the country will come
to the scene in an effort to earn the money.
1t is the general opinion of those who have
carefully studied the circumstances that the
switch was thrown only a few seconds before
the approach of the train, and that the engineer
had no chance to stop, although he sanded the
rails and applied the emergency brakes.
Springfield, Ohio, June 24.-W. o. Jackson, of
this city, chief inspector of railroads and tee-
graphs of Ohio, returned to-day from Mentor.
where he investigated the Lake Shore wreck.
He said:
That the switch opened Intentionally we
know. Whether or not it was locked open we
cannot tell for all reports are neagre. The per-
petrator may never be known, though both the
company and our department are working on
the case.
l do not think the speed of the train had any
thing to do with the wreck the number Of
people killed. The number killed due to
the fact that dinner just over and the men
had gone forward to the smoker Fast trains
are no more liable to accident than others. for
they make fewer stops and many accommoda-
ton trains run as fast between stations as the
Twentieth Century,
Columbus. Ohio, June 24.-The State Commits
soner of Railways and Teiegraphs returned to-
day from an investigation of the Lake Shore
wreck at Mentor, and says that the wreck would
have been worse had the train been running
slowly. He says that when the last train
passed the switch before the one wrecked the
