THE evolves" OF RUSSIA.

In a remarkable series OF letters, a
correspondent of the London Times is
telling of Russian conditions in the in
terror, which explain much of the
hitherto inexpIicable brutality Of the
riots and wholesale murders perpetrat-
ed by the peasant revolutionists in re-
taliation for. wrongs at the hands of
administrative officials.
The most fiendishly ingenious pun
ishment devised by officials is the con-
demnation of political offenders to the
fate of the mythical Wandering Jew
This is accomplished by a sentence
which compels the victim to travel
continually under what the peasants
call The VOLTS Pass The passport
provides that the condemned shall be
permitted to travel and work in places
designated by the officials, but that no
citizen shall give them shelter for more
than one night, that they shall report
to the police on their arrival wherever
they may be, and that they shall be
kept moving without opportunity for
rest or for the accumulation of means.
Commenting on the results of this
system, the correspondent says that
these wolves" are the missionaries of
discomfort who are stirring up the
peasants of the interior to revolt They
bear in their persons evidence of an
inconceivably cruel system, their
words carry conviction as nothing else
could, they reach a class that is ig-
norant, easily moved, unafraid of
death or any other penalty that could
be inflicted by the government, and
the system is bearing fruit beyond all
the hopes of the revolutionists.
After the recital of the Times, one
wonders that the Russians have en-
dured as long as they have the wrongs
OF an unrestrained irresponsible des-
potism. To separate a man from his
home and family and friends, to send
him wandering like a lost soul through
strange and forbidding lands. to alien
ate him from his country and make
him an outcast on the face of the
earth, serves we'll TO illuminate the
system of administration which has
given Russia her reign of terror. Nc
government can long endure under
such conditions; no human kind but
would prefer death itself to this ulti-
mate refinement of horror, the life OF
the wolf"

THE DEMOCRATIC TEXTBOOK.

With the issuance of the Democratic
campaign book this week the battle is
fairly on. The synopsis of the publica-
ton indicates an aggressive fight by
the Democracy. and states some
trenchant facts for the consideration
of the voter. Naturally, the trusts and
the tariff are made the chief issues as
collateral subjects; and the presidents
stand-pat attitude on both-is set forth
at length, The presidents appropria-
ton of the Democratic platform on

doned his position and betrayed the
men who had been asked to waive their
party lines that he might secure what

incidentally, the campaign book re-
views the insurance scandals in New
York with their complete confirmation
of Judge Parker's charge that the Re
publican presidential campaign COM
mittee was the beneficiary of the trusts

the president denied most vehemently

for which he has never apologized, as
he should, to Judge Parker.
The attitude of the president and his
administration toward organized labor

the aims OF labor.

LONG ISLANDS BARREN LANDS.
Project to Make Them Productive
Railroad Making Experiments.

Another railroad has essayed the
problem Of reclaiming land. This
tine it Is the Long Island Railroad
| Company. 1t has taken under Its con
| troll a plot OF land containing about
seventeen acres near the end of the
north shore of the island. The land
is typical OF much of that on Long Is
land 1t is known as pine-barens,
is considered sterile and is in the full
est sense of the word waste land.
The railroad company will establish
an experimental fruit and vegetable
farm. The company also intends to
establish an experimental farm near
the middle OF the island and another
on the south shore.
Suffolk county has an area of T3o,
III acres OF which 10000 have been
esteemed OF so little value that they
have never been assessed for taxes,
and the value OF 100000 acres of the
remainder is so slight that the taxes
levied have been nominal. The des-
patches telling OF this experiment of
the Long Island Railroad announce
that several other railroad companies
will be interested spectators OF the re-
suits, which II satisfactory Will be

followed.

Nine Million P1ows at Work.

It's plowing time. Two hundred
million acres of land will be plowed
this year in the United States and
about 100000 plows are on the farms
to do the work. The capital invested
in plows alone represents ss0,000,00O.

straight, will in any case be attractive,
even when the beds are bare
1t Is obvious that to ensure sym
metry, and for many other reasons,
a plow is entirely out OF place in
gardens of this size. In order to
achieve success the work must posi-
lively be done by hand and conscient-
iously done at that. The expense is
really very small, and need only be
incurred once. for a garden so con-
stucted will need very little work to
prepare it the second season.
AS to the use to be made of the
beds when properly prepared, much
depends on the taste of the gardener,
but very good way to utilize the
fences on either side is to SOW along
them scarlet runners mixed with other
beans. The runners with their gor-
geous flowers which bloom from June
till October are very ornamental. They
are also prolific croppers, and despite
an absurd prejudice against them, the
young pods, when cooked green, are
delicious, while the shelled beans are
superior to limas. Scarlet runners
may be planted as soon as the ground
is warm, even as early as mid April,
for the bean itself remains in the
ground sending only its shoot to the
surface. They should be sown two at
time; about four inches deep, and a
foot apart, so that when all danger
of frost is over, more delicate beans
may be planted between them. The
best for this purpose are Cranberry,
Kentucky Wonder and Golden Clus-
ter, as their flowers and pods form a
charming contrast with those OF the
runner. In order not to interfere
with the early care of the climbers

THE SMALL GARDEN.
GUY ElIIOu MICHEL.

A garden SO constructed will stand
great extremes of wet and drouth.
for it is a mistake to suppose that
plants on well laid up beds suffer in
dry weather. on the contrary they will
continue to thrive when those on the
level are whitening. so no one need be
afraid of making high beds, though
eighteen inches from the crown to the
foot of the ditch is sufficient elevation
unless the location is very low. Some
people might think that to devote SO
much space to paths with such
small area available is a useless
waste. This is not the case. for the
frequent paths enable the gardener to
till and gather his crops without the
necessity OF treading on the cultivated
ground, an advantage that far Offsets
the loss of space. The same plan may
be followed on property lot and a
half wide. though, If two full lots are
available, an additional grass walk
down the centre will be useful, and add
much to the appearance OF the garden,

MISTAKES ABOUT NICOTINE.
Doesn't Accumulate In Pipe Stems
Very Little Nicotine Poisoning.

There are probably few subjects
about which more people are mlsln-
formed than nicotine.
Nearly everyone speaks OF the dark
brown substance which has about the
consistency and color of molasses and
accumulates in the stems OF pipes as
nicotine. According to scientific ar
ticle, it is not nicotine at all, and 1t
has no nicotine in it.
1t is nothing but tar-tobacco tar,
distilled from the smoke, just as coal
tar is distilled from coal and pine tar
from pine wood. One might swallow
all the tobacco tar that rank clay
pipe contains without serious harm.
nicotine he would probably be dead
inside of five minutes.
1t is the tar that stains the pipe,
and it is the same tar that stains
the cigarette smokers fingers. 1t is
also found inside the nostrlls of one
who inhales smoke, and it puts an
indelible stain on mustaches.
1t Is true that tobacco contains
more nicotine than any other known
plant, but nicotine is not plentiful
article in nature. The rankest Ken
lucky tobacco contains less than per
cent of nicotine, and the finer grades
of tobacco, such as Havana, have less
than per cent.
One often hears cigarettes condemn
ed because the smoker gets so much
more nicotine through inhaling the
smoke. The fact is that cigarette
smoker gets almost no nicotine, be-
cause the tobacco OF which cigarettes
are made contains next to no nico-
tine. Turkish and Egyptian tobaccos
carry only a trace of nicotine, and
some of them none at all.
But no matter how much of this
deadly element a tobacco contains,
the smoker does not get it. Nicotine
is not extracted by burning the tobac-
co. Burning destroys it entirely.
One often hears of nicotine poison
ing, but it is very doubtful IL there is
any such thing When one is poison
ed with nicotine he dies, and he
doesn't get poisoned by smoking.
There are plenty of good reasons why
smoking should not be carried to ex-
cess, .but nicotine poisoning is not
one of them.
