Harvesting the Mississippi.

Work will be begun before the year
is out on a dam across the Mississippi
river, at the foot OF the Des Moines
rapids, for the development Of water
power. It will be the greatest project
of the kind except the combined works
at Niagara, the dam the greatest In
the world except those built by the
British I'm the Nile. A minimum OF
$4,000 horse power is to be obtained
and transmitted to factories In the
heart OF the agricultural center OF the
nation. The dam will be In sight Of
the three states Of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, the legislatures of each state
having adopted resolutions approving
the work and promising all possible
assistance The estimated cost of the
work will be s6OO0,OO0 which is 800
per horse power ON the minimum pow
er capacity Of $4,000 horse power. The
cost of supplying power. including all
fixed charges. maintenance, operation
and all expenses, is closely estimated
at eight dollars per horsepower-year
the cost of steam power In the terri
tory within 200 miles now being from
$40 to S65 per horsepower-year, with
$50 as a conservative average.-The

Cry for Land and Liberty.

II is stated that the estimate of the
money needed by the Russian govern
ment for aid to the ADMINISTRATOR
provinces would amount to nearly $780,
10000 this year. The peasants are
starving, partly in consequence of lack
of land to cultivate, partly because of
specially bad crops this year. Mean
while the rent of land is steadily ris-
ing According to the latest report of
the Peasants bank the average rent
per desiatin rose in IL years from 80
rubles to los rubles. No wonder that
the cry OF the peasants is for land
and liberty" And the only reasonably
fertile land remaining is that of pri-
yate owners, the public domain being
mostly swampy or forest land.

WOMAN ATE THE CONTRACT
With Document in Her Midst, She
Asks, "What Are You Going
TO Do About ItPv

The boom In real estate at Flushing,
L. l., has landed part OF valuable con
tract in Mrs. j. S. Eardley's midst and
stirred up no end Of trouble between
her and Thomas Pritchard, of Booraem
avenue, Flushing.
Mrs. Eardley who lives In Brooklyn,
sold six lots In Flushing to Mr.. Pritch-
ard. Mr. Prltchard paid a deposit. and
Mrs. Eardley signed contract agree
ing to surrender the lots 10 him for a
certain price. Prices Of Flushing prop
erty have jumped up as much as rs or
90 per cent. in one day. Mrs. Eardley
heard of this, and her soul was sad
She called at Mr. Pritchard's Office.
Il want to keep my lots" said she,
briskly.
Madame. you can't" he replied with
utmost suavlty.
Let's see the contract" said she,
soothingly.
Mr. Pritohard handed her the pre-
cious paper, and In the twinkllng OF an
eye she had bitten big piece out Of
It.. Mr.. Pritchard grabbed her throat
Then came a fierce struggle between
hand muscles and throat muscles, and
throat muscles won, for Mrs. Eardley
swallowed a large chunk of the con-
tract and smiled in bitter triumph at
her foe
"I'll have the law on you!" he cried.
"Pooh!" sneered she. 1--WE got the
evidence in my midst, and I'd like TO
see the court that can find out any
thing about it.
And there the matter rests.

HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
Young women or matrons should not
allow themselves TO look sallow and
wrinkled because of those pains and
weaknesses which become chronic and
are the result Of colds, tight lacing, and
the imprudent care of the womanly sys-
tenn. Many woman would look beau
tiful, have healthy color and bright eyes
if it were not for those drains on her
strength and those weaknesses which
come all too frequently and make her
life miserable. There is a ready-to-use

Bricks from Sand.

Great sand dunes extend for miles
along the north coast OF Bristol chan.
mel. in Wales. They are menace to
the narrow strip of lowlands between
them and the hills. A company Of
business men has determined to put
the sand to some use. The plan is to
manufacture bricks from sand. The
experiment has proved a success on
the continent of Europe, where the
bricks are produced in several colors
and take a glaze satisfactorily. Some
experts claim that these bricks made
of sand and lime will be the building
brick OF the future in the United King
dom.

Pacific Coast Protests.

Washington, Feb. 16. = Serious OPP
position from Pacific coast interests has
developed to the Cushman bill provid-
ing for new fshing regulations for
Alaska. The house committee on ter
ritories is now considering the bill and
today six Pacific coast senators and a
number of representatives appeared be-
fore it and asked that the hearing be
kept open until parties interested can
reach here from the coast to be heard
in opposition to it.
The principal point of objection is
that the bill gives to the department OF
Commerce and Labor power to make
suitable regulations. 1t is claimed
the department would be absolute in
this matter, and that any changes in
the existing regulations would work
hardship, if not ruin, to the salmon
fishing industries.

RAN EMPTY TRAIN.

Not Passenger from Jersey CIT,
TO MISUNDERSTANDING Trip.
lt cost the Pennsylvania railroad
and the Pullman Palace Car Company
$40 on Christmas day to run a train
without any passengers from Jersey
City to Pittsburg. The train, the
Pennsylvania limited, one Of the finest
on the road, consisted Of an engine
baggage car, diner and three coaches
when 1t pulled out of Jersey City at
ii "a a. m. on Monday, and when II
reached Pittsburg at Q :35 o'clock that
night, the only passengers it carried
were the three changes Of Pennsylvania
crews and the regular Pullman crew.
The run was strictly according to
schedule, but not ticket was punched
not meal was served, or a piece of
baggage handled. Nobody worked but
the engineers and fremen.
Three cooks basted fowls and created
good things in the. culinary line for
four walters to serve the passengers
who didn't come. A barber waited in
vain for ''Nextl" and the Pullman CON
ductor had plenty Of time to admire
his new uniform. All this cost the
company, founded by the late George
Pullman, good cash, and, as for the
Pennsylvania, why. there were three
conductors who didn't conduct, while
twelve brakemen and three baggage
masters twirIed their thumbs instead
Of lantern, flag or trunks. A lone stem
ographer had time to waste, and the
wear and tear on the train, the equip
ment Of which represented about $45,
600, kept on with every turn of the
wheels.
1t is doubtful If railroad train evel
made such run before. Joseph Brown
the Pennsylvania conductor who hat
charge Of the train from Jersey Cit,
to Philadelphia, said that in his forty
five years as n railroader he never re
membered such an ocucrrence.-Nev
