this summer than ordinarily reported. In con-
nection with the foreign exchange market II is
interesting TO note that exports of merchandise
heavier than in any corresponding period, while
imports also showed large gain. The increase
in the latter, compared with May, 1908, was
larger than the increase in exports. and the ex-
cess of exports while amounting to more than
S25,OO0000, showed decrease from the same
month last year. For the eleven months of the
fiscal year the excess of exports has amounted
in value to S493 091. .16S. compared with S3TO-
342.354 in 1905. but this large balance in favor
of this country has been more than offset by
American loans abroad, differentiation of i'm

from I1dFpeFS Weekly.J
On Mount Tom, in Massachusetts,
there is a traction system operating
two cars on cable. AS one car goes
up the other comes down. The grade
is an extraordinarily steep one, fact
that frequently calls forth anxious in
quiries relative to the safety of the sys-
tenn from nervous tourists.
One afternoon lady from Boston
seated herself in the rear Of the car
that was about to make its ascent of
the mountain, and it was at once OBJ
served by several that she was anxious
as to the outcome Of her temerity.

of the conductor.

The lady sighed uneasily. II was
wondering" observed she, what would
become Of me if the cable should break
when we were just reaching the top Of
the mountain
THAT would depend upon how you
had spent your past life, madam

Proposed Agrarian Law Meets
With Much Opposition in
Russian Parliament
FIRST PARAGRAPH ACCEPTED
Commissioners Now Deadlocked Over
Provision Providing for the Division
Of Land Among the Peasants and
Disposal of Private Estates-Trouble
Among the Peasants.

ST. Petersburg, July 9.-The first
paragraph of the proposed agrarian
law, viz the augmentation of the lands
OF the peasants by the appropriation OF
all state and crown domains and
church and monastery lands has been
accepted by the commission of the
lower house with practical unanimity.
The commissioners have now locked
horns over the mode of appropriation
and the method of disposal of private
estates, and the end is not yet in sight.
The determination to appropriate
church lands which, in distinction to
4 astt.ries, lie scattered like the lands
Of the common schools in America in
small tracts thruout the country. and
support the local clergy, will cause
complications. Such action would de-
priye the parish priests of the princi-
part of their scanty emoluments and
necessitat, an equivalent from soma
other source.
A correspondent of The Associated
Press has just completed a tour of the
provinces of Samara and Saratov. He
reports that the drought is finally
broken. but the rains have come too
late to save the crop and help the
peasants. who are in pitiable condi-
ton. Many peasants have been killed
or wounded In desperate attacks on
the military patrols and the rural
guards.
-As
According TO telegram received
here from Tamhov, peasants on the
estate of Princess Bariatinsky attacked
a comnlissary and a posse OF rural
police. The commissary and four po-
licemen were seriously wounded. In
another section of the province Of
Tambov a body of peasants with pitch
forks and spades, resisted a squadron
OF dragons. Because Of this resistance
the troops fired, killing three peasants
and wollnding r. any others. At Keda-
hey, southeast OF Tifiis, hand to hand
fight has occurred between Cossacks
and an armed band Of peasants, with
the result that several men were killed
on both sides.
Rich and Poor Peasants Fight.
There has been fatal encounter
at Krassnopolsk, in the province of

poor peasants. The poor men were in

SOME FREAKS OF GOLF BALLS.
Fell in Odd PIaces-kiIled Birds and
on One Occasion Sheep.


| 1t does not often happen that hrd
falls victim to golf ball in its
flight altho such a mishap has oc-
Cured In two or three instances.
Not long ago an incident of this
Golf Cluo. 1t took place in the course
of u DOGGY competition. One of the
players, a Mr.. Crocker having driven
off at the eleventh tee, his ball created
some establishment by coming in con-
tact with lark in midair. and literally
knocked off it's head.
a similar incident happened last
season but one on the ground of the
Birkdale Club Two members were
playing a round when one OF them made
a brassy shot The ball was in full
flight when a bird of tie wagtail spe-
cies was seen crossing the line of
flight, and the next moment both OBJ
jects came into collision at distance
of about forty PAGES from the striker.
The consequences were fatal TO the
unfortunate bird, which was not only
killed, but decapitated. AS for the golf
ball, its fight was stopped by the inn
pact. the ball falling to the ground
within u few yards Of its slaughtered
victim. The incident had the further
effect Of losing the player the match,
he having, to make an extra stroke or
two to cover the distance short-cov-
cred. this costing him the game.
still more extraordinary freak of
golf ball resulted in tragedy On the
Balcomie links in Scotland. In the
course of match, one Of the players,
in his drive from the sixth tee put
so much vigor into 1t that the ball
struck sheep on the head with such
force as to cause 1t TO fall dead on the
spot
A very different but no less interest
ing story was reported from another
links in Scotland about the same time.
In four-some match played at North
Berwick. one of the golfers drove his
ball against wall. 1t rebounded into
some rough grass, and, for few min
utes, could not be traced. but ultimately
the caddits found the ball lying in a
lark's nest. in which there were four
eggs unbrOken. For ball to drop into
a nest of eggs without breaking any
was surely an extraordinary occur
renee.
1t is long since a player at Wolking,
In approaching the hole, landed ball
on the toy of the clubhouse This lit
tie incident did not, however, upset his
equilibrium very much. AS nimbly as
he could he fJllowei the bail to the roof
