RIOT AND BLOODSHED
Is the Tale of Nearly All Russian Dis
patches-Unconfirm Reports.

London. Nov. ALI Russian dis
patches still are suffering considerable
telegraph delay. Apparently the text
of the amnesty ukase has not yet been
published. 1t is expected that it will
be today, but possibly it's publication
maybe postponed, until Sunday. Many
correspondents in Odessa and else
where report danger and difficulty at
tending the dispatch of their reports
and they are obliged to seek the aid
and protection of the military. All
dispatches received here go to confirm
the continued seriousness of the sit
uation throughout Russia. especially
the anti-Jewish excuses.
The Daily Nails Odessa correspon-
dent gives AN unconfirmed report that
kishineff has been absolutely Destroy
ed by fire. He says that the three
suburbs of Odessa, Persessyp, Zastava
and Moldavanka, have been completely
devastated.
The Kieff correspondent of the same
paper says that the British consulate
has been riddled with bullets. The
situation there. he adds. however, is
improving but during the riots bands
of rowdies stopped everybody in car
riages or afoot and compelled all to
prove they were not Jews before per-
hitting them to go on. Ladies dresses
We're torn open to discover if they were
wearing crosses. The British consul
was stopped by soldiers with levelled
rifles, who. however, permitted the mob
to wreck the house of wealthy Jew.
Nearly all the houses and shops dis
play ikons and other Christian en-
blemS.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from st. Petersburg states that Prince
Alexis Obolensky has been appointed
to replace NJ. Pobiedonostseff as chief
procurator of the Holy Synod.
The Daily Telegraph's Odessa cor
respondent also reports kishineff in
flames.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
irug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
rieS them out of the system
Charcoal sweetenS the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal i'm one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart'S Charcoal LoZengeS; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large. pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
piexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
tne benefits of charcoal says: Il advise
S'uarts Charcoal Lozenges to all pa

THE TOAD IS A GORMAND
Ants, AnsIeworms and Honey Bees a
Favorite Diet

From the Toledo Blade.
According to a recent bulletin issued
by the national government, the toad
is a gross feeder. He sallies forth
usually after sundown in search OF
his prey, which includes pretty near
every variety of insect and worm. and
experiment proves that in twenty-four
hours he will consume insect food or
volume fourfold the capacity OF his
stomach-in other words. he can fill up
four times. or angleworms he does not
seem very fond, though his gluttonous
habit extends to them II they are too
temptingly abundant, as after the
earth has had a good wetting.
Ants appear to be his chief delight.
with cut-worms and thousand-legs
next in order. Then come caterpillars
and beetles. Grasshoppers and crick-
cts furnish but small part OF his bill
OF fare, and spiders still less. He has
no use, apparently. for dead prey; but
when an insect or worm comes near
him in motion he makes for 1t eagerly.
A cut-worm which has discretion
enough when in his neighborhood to
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-21

keep curled up may easily escape, but
as soon as it begins to travel let 1t
beware.
His method of capturing a bug is to
Dart out his tongue, which, by the
way. reverses the usual order OF ma
ture, it being fastened in front ana
loose beind. 1t Is coated with gela-
tinous secretion, and when it strikes
an OBJECT 1t fastens firmly to 1t ana
conveys it to the toad's mouth. II the
object, like a big worm, for instance
is too large to go unassisted into MS
gullet he uses his forepaws, like
greedy child, to stuff it down.
Most of the viands which the toad
loves are, In their living state, pests OF
the farm and garden. 1t is hard 10
say Just where to place ants IN thls
classification. Nearly all students OF
nature, as we'll as persons who nave
nothing but the traditions or their
childhood to guide their judgment
have acquired a certain affection Tor
the ant. It's seeming intelligence, its
artistic or mechanical instinct, It's un-
tiring industry. it's courage, its care
for its dead and wounded. its nice DO
nestle economy and its habit of pro-
viding against the "rainy day" all tend
IN give 1t a sort of human claim upon
mankind.
Still. the fact cannot be ignored that
the ant is an active distributor of plant
lice; that 1t destroys lawns, spolls gar
den walks, infests dwellings and makes
itself a common nuisance in the kitchen
and pantry. driving the dainty house
wife almost to distraction. In the
same category with ants, as to human
regard, might be placed the honey bee,
which the toad will eat when he gets
good chance.
one OF his tricks is to station him

self at the entrance to a hive and cap
ture the belated homecomers. AS the
toad does not spring into the air for
his food, however, any apiarist may
avoid this danger by raising his hives
we'll above the ground.
Reference has been made to the
toad's consumption of food as being out
of proportion to his bulk. But what
he can actually do at a sitting is best
told by figures derived from an ex-
pertinent. His official record shows one
case where he ate ninety rosebugs
without being satisfied; another where
he snapped up eighty-six house flies
in less than ten minutes In one toads
stomach We're found seventy-seVen
acknowledged worms; in another
sixty-fve gypsy moth caterpillars; in
another fifty-flve army worms, and so
on.
On the basis of his being able to fill
his stomach four times in twenty-four
hours, 1t requires a simple mathemati-
cal calculation to discover how many
of each variety of winged or crawling
pest a single toad might get away
with in a day If he kept at 1t and con-
ditions were favorable, and multiply
ing this product by 80, as representing
the days in a .summer-for Mr.. Toad is
no respecter Of Sundays or holidays
we can measure his potential capacity
for good as the gardeners friend.
