Guardino fha Gar.

One of the most interesting features
of official life in st. Petersburg Is the
intricate system by which the Cars
life is safeguarded. Since the tragic
death of the Grand Duke Sergius the
spy system has become more compli-
Gated than ever, until now there are
whole regiments of officials and care
fully picked men and women whose
duty it is to guard the Gear. These Of
icials are scattered through the Minis
try of the Interior, the Secret Police
and the Ministry of War. The inner
circle of the system is the dreaded
third section" of the Secret Police
the men who are charged with the
guardianship of the Cars person.
These men are highly educated, are
artists in disguise and possess extraor-
binary knowledge and power. High Of
icials, nominally their superiors in
rank, dread the vicinity Of one of
these men lest their most innocent act
"a call on a friend, a journey for
health or pleasure-be construed into q
sinister act demanding explanation. -

Fra Diayclo In Real Life.

Fra Diavolo is abroad again, strik-
ing terror to the hearts Of travellers
and homekeepers in Spain. And he is
at large on a by no means small scale.
The economic crisis in Spain and it's
consequent misery have brought to life
again the legendary brigandage OF the
Sierra Moreno.
Nor are these robbers of Andalusia
content with merely pillaging out-of-
the-way villages. Armed to the teeth,
they even invade large cities, such is
the rage of their hunger. In broad
daylight they recently looted a business
man at Seville. That unfortunate gen
tleman, threatened with death in his
shop, was compelled to give the scoun-
drels five thousand pesetas. Where
were the police? That is what the
Spanish public are asking with any

Romance of whale Hunting

The whalers are in and are again
fitting out for the winter cruibe. In
the past month a half dozen have come
to port weather-beaten, redolent of the
uttermost seas, their bearded and deep
eyed crews still counting from Java
Head and La Perouse. More than the
outward signs of ancient vessels long
known to the business is the fact that
they never lack for crews, though sew
eral ships came in clean and their
men We're paid for months of hard
labor and toll with 81 and a piece of
paper stamped by the shipping COM
missioner. Men do not work on shore
for a cent a day and three meals of
salt beef, with curses and kicks for
sauce. 1t is the old hankeling that
men have obeyed since time began and
the sea rolled to the horizon. The
Gotama is just in after eight months
cruising from the South Seas to the
Arctic and the Okhotsk. Her crew got
nothing. But the tale of a sea covered
with floating pumice stone, of days
chasing a whale, of watches when the
sails glared with the reflection of some
distant and unnamed volcato, waken
a score of others who will listen and
finally shamble down to take a
chance" And the driving colonial mail
boat ONE time soon again will sight
the Gotama swinging in the u
waters of the tropics, her topsails hoist
ed to the mast, the lookout OH his giddy
perch scanning the ocean for the spout
of the sperm. Curious passengers will
talk a moment against the rail and be
whirled on. But the men in the fore
castle of the schooner will not notice.
The long yarn of whales and harpoons
and deaths and fukes will draw them
again into the world Of romance
romance which will never die while
the port watch shores in it's hunks un-
der the Pickering lamp waiting for the
long-drawn cry, There she blows!'-

PRICE, @25 Cts
Money From Frogs.

Several young men of Clyde have
been engaged during the past week in
catching and shipping frogs to the
city market. The frogs are raked up
from the bottom of the canal, where
they lay in the mud in a torpid state.
The business pays those engaged in
it from So to 50 per day. From sixty
to $50 pounds of frogs legs can be
secured daily, which can be readily
sold for fifteen cents a pound.
One man in Clyde has been out driv-
ing about the country the past two
weeks catching frogs in the ponds
and bitches, and has realized from 50
to Sc a day for his services after pay
ing expenses.-Clyde Correspondence of

HARvEsTs OF THE YEAR.
Ups and Downs of an Extraordinary
Grain Season.

New York City.-Taken in its entire
ty, the year 1905 in the grain trade of
the United States has been not alto
gether satisfactory to the majority of
traders. The first half was in some
respects extremely unsatisfactory for
practically everyone concerned. Dur
ing the winter and early spring, there
were numerous periods of stagnation
and much discomfort over the unprofit-
able state of business. 1t was evident
that the leng periods Of dizziness were
the natural result of the serious defc-
iency in the wheat crop of 1904. AS
the winter progressed and spring drew
near it became more apparent that the
last wheat crop had been overestimat-
ed. and that the Importance of the light
weight and poor quality of the grain
had not been generally appreciated. 1t
is generally agreed that after making
due allowance for inferior quality and
light weight we had actually a mer-
charitable supply of not to exceed 500
100000 bushels. Consequently, we
were virtually out of the ranks as an
export country.

BOYS TERRIBLE EcZEMA
Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts-
Hands Pinned Down-BItrac-
ulous Cure nv CutiCura.

NO"S ny
when my little boy was siz months
old he had eczema. The sores extended
so quickly over the whole body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor. but ne could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one. Matters became so bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put a finger into. The food
had to be given with a spoon, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began 10 bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed We had to PIN his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearfullv.
1--WE finally thought nothing could help,
and l had made up my mind to send my
wife with The child to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise he
was to be put under good medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura. We
made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks we noticed a decided i'm
provement. just as quickly as the sick
ness had appeared it also began 10 disap-
pear, and within ten weeks the child was
absolutely well, and his skin was smooth
and white as never before. f. Hohrath,

Imperfect ConsuIar service.


An order which has been made by
lister, and which comes in operation on
the first day Of the New Year, should
possess particular interest for all those
who are concerned as to the efficiency
of our consular service. The italian
Foreign Office, like our own, has in its
employ many consular officers who are
quite unfamiliar with the language of
the country which they represent.
They are not, of course, commissioned
officers, they receive no salary or al
lowance, and they are nominated only
in places where italian interests are
too nominal to justify the appointment
of a commissioned and salaried officer.
But it is an absurdity, on the face of
it, that any official should be per
mitted to represent a country, in how
ever humble a capacity, the language
of which he can neither speak nor
write, even their reports having to be
translated for them. 1t is to be sin
cerely hoped, therefore, that the new
Foreign Minister will appreciate, in re-
gard to our consular establishment, the
necessity Of following Signor Tittoni's
example, as it is estimated that there
are quite 200 officers in various parts
of the world who could not pass the
Simplest exami. alton in English.
There is another development in the
same connection which is also worthy
OF notice. The American consular ser
vice has admittedly always been very
loosely conducted. ana Il IS the more
noteworthy. therefors- rhat Tie state

According TO the census use Of tn
term an illiterate is a person not unde
ten years of age who is unable to writ
either In English Or in any other lar
guage. In most cases the ~illlterate j.
also unable to read. At the census Of
1900 the number of illiterates enumer-
ated in the United States, exclusive Of
Alaska, Hawaii and all other outlying
territory, was 6,1S0,O69. This was ap-
p~roximately one-tenth Of the popula-
tion at least ten years Of age, the exact
mathematical proportion beng 1050il-
literates to 1000 population. OF the ma
tive white population the proportion of
i~ll{'erscy IS 46.4 per 1000, Or less than
II ia twenty. There is ground for
! s~aIsfacrion and encouragement in the
statistical evidence that illiteracy is
steadily being reduced. In 1890 the
number of i~lliterates per 1000 was
1884 for the tocal population, 62.3 for
the native white population, 1906 for
the foreign-born white and 567.G for
