A Curious Sign.

If you are in certain Irish town
and are looking out for lodgings you
would probably come to the conclusion
that none are to be had, for, search as
you will for the familiar Apartments
to Let" notice so often seen in the win
dows Of houses in other places, you
will search in vain. Instead you may
observe fastened by the flap to the
window a clean white envelope This
is an indication to all whom it may
concern that apartments are to be had
within. This curious custom is greatly
in vogue at the seaside health resort
Kilkee, County Glare, where all houses
that have apartments to Vet exhibit a
white envelope

Escaping from Siberian exile after
serving half Of an eight years SEN
tence, William Cohsnon arrived desti-
tute in Brockton, Mass He found
refuge with friends and countrymen
and told thrilling story of his expe-
rience and tortures in the Russian
prison, says the Boston Herald.
Cohsnon was born in st. Petersburg
and is the son OF Isaac C. Cohsnon,
who controls an expedition bank there.
Young Cohsnon attended the Universi-

ty Of Alexander IL, graduating as a
civil engineer and having mastered
Russian, French, German, English,
Hebrew and Latin. He became inter
! ested in Socialistic problems and was
! one of the 200 students who in 1900
marched from the university to the
parliamentary building declaring for
| justice and liberty. The riot which fol-
| lowed was heralded around the world.
! Five of the students were killed, and
| Cohsnon, with a bullet in his right
wrist, was arrested with many others.
Cohsnon was charged with being a
ringleader in the riot and was SEN
fenced to Siberia for eight years, two
of these at hard labor. He was con-
fined in Putiopolosk prison, st. Peters
burg, in one of eight rooms furnished
with torture devices. There he was
questioned for information regarding
the instigators of the riot, but refused
to speak. He was strung up to the
wall with chains so he could not move
and after several hours was let down
and again questioned, but without re-
suits. His shoes were removed, and he
was compelled to stand in salt until
his feet were blistering and was given
three stripes across the legs with an
iron loaded knout This left him I'M
conscious, hanging by his arms, and
he remained hours in this position.
After six months in prison he was
taken to Tomsk, convict station in
Siberia, and there employed for a year
under Baron Grailloff making shoes,
brushes, brooms and other articles.
Learning Of his educational ability, the
baron utilized him to teach French to
his five children for a portion of the
two years of his sentence which he
had to work at hard labor. The other
six years he was to be on parole in cit
izen's dress under guard Of soldiers.
One night while he was with two
year sentences two large loaves Of white
bread were left as gifts for the holiday
commemoration Of the coming day.
The donor was Countess Merisoff,
serving an exile Of five years for dis
tributing nihilistic literature. Within
each loaf was a carpenters chisel, and
with these 4 panel was cut away, the
lock turned, and the convicts crawled
from their cell when the guard was at
the other end Of the building. They
fed across the river Kaochac and, trav-
cling twenty one English miles, found
shelter in an Eskimo village.
Travelling by night on foot over GA
miles of the Siberian waste, they
reached Santganes, in Manchuria, in an
exhausted condition. There they found
passage for Singapore on Turkish
steamer owned by the Algiers Naviga-
ton company, working their passage
as coal beavers Cohsnon left his COM
rades there and, after working on
sardine fishing boat for some time,
came with it to Quebec.
He was to receive 100 francs for his
services upon arrival; but, fearing that
Canada was not a free country and
that ne might be seized, he fed without
collecting his pay and worked his way
by night to Boston. For four days he
searched for employment in the city
without success and then, spending his
last 5 cents for an electric car ride to
Milton, walked to Brockton.

4 FIVE DEDrcA1TOM.

Charles n. and Minnie L Page of
Des Moines. Iowa. formally dedicated
their new home the other day. A ded-
icatroy hymn, written for the occasion,
was sung and the minister offered a
dedieatory prayer. Then two boys OF
the family lighted the fire Of the
hearth and the two girls lighted the
evening lamps. And then came the
four-year-old to bring ''papa's slip
pers." Father and mother read the
alternate verses of the poem "a Fore
taste of Heaven" Remarks by friends
and neighbors followed and then came
social congratulations and inspection
of the new house by the company of
two hundred guests.
This example might well be generally
initiated. If it were initiated in the
proper spirit there wouldn't be as
many divorces as there are.

THE AUDUBON SOCIETIES.

How frequently we hear the express
sion "a freak of nature" Yet there is
absolutely no truth in that expression,
for nothing could possibly be less
freakish than Nature. If we think
otherwise on occasion, it is because we
have glanced merely at the surface of
things; If we go deep enough we shall
find that Nature is never capricious;
for ievery single effect there is a good
and sufficient cause, and precisely the
same cause will produce precisely the
same effect, every time. In the per-
petual struggle for existence, in which
we are all engaged, men, rattlesnakes
and three-toed woodpeckers alike,
every act we do, has a definite result
a definite effect ON our chance Of sur
vival. Nature has no favorites; a
man is Of no more consequence to her
than bull frog or a nine banded
,armadillo. If he goes out to meet a
tiger, armed with a big game rifle and
If he is coo1-headed and a good shot,
the chances are that he will kill the
tiger; if he goes unarmed, the tiger will
kill him just as sure as eggs are eggs.
Man has to seriously consider then,
under what conditions he is most like
ly to survive. In the case of the per-
sonal encounter with a tiger, rifle
was one of the conditions; where he is
confronted with enemies against which
rifle is not effective, other conditions
are necessary. 1t Is well-known fact
that the welfare Of the people of this
country at least is largely depend
ent on the success of, the several
crops of grain and vegetables and
fruits, and anything which tends to
make these crops a failure, must be
combatted as an enemy, not only Of
the agriculturist, but Of the nation.
Among the most dangerous of these
enemies may be included floods,
drought, many species of insects, many
species Of small mammals and noxious
weeds. If the agriculturist had to de-
pend entirely upon his own efforts,
even with the aid of a gum to keep
these enemies in check, he'd have no
time for agriculture. and the enemies
would not be checked to any APP
| preciable extent after all. He must
therefore depend to large extent
| upon allies to fight his enemies for him
and it would seem that as a matter of
| ordinary common sense, not to mention
| common decency and fairness, that he
in turn should do all in his power to
save these allies from destruction.
In fighting the first two of these
enemies, man has no more powerful
allies than the forests, which tend to
prevent both flood and drought.
Against all the others mentioned, the
strongest allies are the birds, and it is
for the purpose of seeing that this
great army of unpaid workers-sol-
diers, if you like-get something ap-
| preaching fair play, that great So
ciety has arisen, with branches in
many States. Most appropriately it is
called the Audubon Society, after the
great John James Audubon, who de-
voted his life to the study of American
birds and quadrupeds, but chiefly to

A WEARY SEARCH.

Japhet in search of a father didn't
have any more trouble than the DEM
ocratic party in this city in search OF
candidate for, mayor. The latest re-
fusal to accept the honor comes from
E. G. stoddard, who has been most
feelingly besought to be the victim. He
has definitely declined, as he has more
business than he can well attend to
now, and doesn't want to be any sickeI
than he is. His reasons are good and
sufficient ones, but in his refusal the
Democrats have lost much that gave
them hope. Mr.. Stoddard would GER
tainly have made strong candidate
Probably no stronger could be chosen
and it is certain that no stronger will
be. He would have drawn many indie
pendent voters. and he would have done
credit to his nominators. But their
dream is over, and the weary search
must be resumed. j..

the former. of which he has left hun
dreds of powerful descriptions and
hundreds Of wonderful drawings as a
worthy monument to his remarkable
ability, tireless energy and magnificent
courage.
There is no money in belonging to
an Audubon Society; this organiza-
ton is composed of men and women
who are willing to work without re-
Enumeration for cause they believe. to
be good, in the interest of the entire
nation. The Audubon Society is not a
fad; it was not organized, as so many
societies are. by people, who had moth
ing else to do: on the other hand it is
composed chiefly of busy people, who
are not too busy however to recognize
the great benefit the human race de-
rives from birds, or TO raise hand to
prevent the unnecessary destruction
of its benefactors.
The founding of the Audubon Soeie-
ty was made necessary by the rapid
settlement of our country by people
who had not been taught the value Of
birds, and who could not believe that
the enormous feathered population of
a hundred years ago could ever be d.
minished. And with reasonable care
there would have been no appreciable
diminution for long time to come.
But birds of all kinds were slaughter
ed without the slightest thought for
the future-1this one for food, that one
for the milliner, until species after
species has been extinct or nearly so.
This work of destruction was assisted
materially by those who made extern
sive collections of eggs, bird skins of
mounted birds, and by those who cap
tured song birds to be put into cages.
IT was seen by certain thoughtful per-
sons, that unless a halt was called
many sections of the country at least
were going to be practically birdless,
and that the entire country would
have to pay the penalty. So, the Au-
dubon Society was organized and is
now great power for good in the
land. Next week / propose to tell the
story of its organization and give an
account of some of the work it is en-
gagged in for the benefit Of bird and
man. ---..-- =. - s.z.ss,ez Il: s.fs....-ssz 49,.

GREAT ooFrnK.DRlNKrHs

There are a great many people in this
country who could give testimonials"
concerning the benefits and evils of cof-
fee-drinking, and we notice that some
Of them do give thrilling evidence con-
Hcerning its evils, which evidence is in
genuously used by the makers of other
stuff, the drinking OF which is said to
be entirely beneficial. How much cof-
fee is used in this country is indicated
by the fact that the quantity of coffee
entering the worlds markets during
last year was, in round terms, AGO.
000, 900 pounds, or barely double the
quantity brought into the United States
alone during the calendar year 1904. 1t
may therefore be said, in general terms,
that the United States consumes prac-
tically one-half of the coffee entering
the worlds markets, since our import
atoms of coffee in 1904 amounted to
practically one-half of the coffee ex-
ported by all the coffee producing coun-
tries of the world, and more than "a
per cent. of that importation was re-
tanned in the United States for con-
sumption by her people. In the order
of quantity consumed Germany comes
next to the United States, with an an

TRADE DisP UrAs IN ENGLAND.

An interesting survey of trade dis
putes in the United Kingdom during
1904 has just been published by the La
Dor Department of the British Board
of Trade. The numbers Of disputes, of
workpeople affected and of working
days lost We're the smallest on record.
The number of workpeople involved
was less than one in every hundred of
the Industrial population, and even this
small percentage would be still further
reduced if agricultural laborers and
|searnen were included. There were dur-
ing the year 3S4 disputes, in which 49,
922 workpeople were affected. The coal
mining industry provided nearly one
third of the number Of disputes, and
more than one-half Of the total number
Of workpeople affected. These figures,
however, compare favorahly with those
for 1903, when the number affected was
larger by one-half, and the aggregate
duration more than twice as long. Next
in Importance came the building trades,
with ]thirty-six disputes involving s,67S
workpeople. Questions of remuneration
were the most frequent causes of disa-
greement. Of the 1874 disputes recorded
220 came under this head. and affected
$685. workpeople, or 81 per cent. of the
total for the whole year. Refusals to

How far silk is going to figure in the

Of some doubt. The general impress
sion is that nearly all the smooth
