Persian Tears,

The Persans still believe that human
tears are a remedy for certain chronic
diseases. AT every funeral the bottlfng
of mourners' tears is one of the chief
features of the ceremonies. Each Of
the mourners is presented with a
sponge with which to mop off his face
and eyes, and after the burial they
are presented to the priest, who
squeezes the tears into bottles, which
he keeps. This custom is one of the
oldest known in the east and has prob
ably been practiced by the Persians
for thousands of years Mention is
made of it in the Old Testament.

CUP TRADE
WITH RUSSIA
(Scripps News Asspciation.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. c.
According to the statistics just is
sued, the trade of the United States
with Russia for the fiscal year of
1905 showed balance in favor of
this country amounting to $5,200,-
600. The total trade aggregated
S2S,S00,000, of which the exports
from this country amounted to ST.
100000, and the imports from Rus
STA $11, 100000. In the previous
year the total trade amounted to
$31 100000, but the falling off is
easily accounted for by the disturb
ed condition of the internal affairs
Of Russia.

of such house as he occupies in
Washingto which, however, he
owns. 1t would not pay for his din
ners nor the brokerage on a
months transa ctions in stocks
which he handles.
And yet Elkins was once a poor
man. Once he was so poor that
when he was bushwhacking down
in Missouri in the disturbed war
time period and was rounded up by
the Quantrell gang of raiders, he
was found to be too poor to rob or
kill. A member of the gang was
tolled off to take him to the rear
and see that he escaped or was
murdered.
His early associates were rather
a rough lot, and one of his present
pensioners is a member of the fam
GUS Jesse James gang of highway
men.
But Steve has come up since
those days. He has a fighting chin,
a keen eye, and lovely barney
ing smile. Withall, he has good red
blood in his neck, and is no quit
ter. He takes the damning of the
public in this rate legislation like
veteran. Never a squeal from
old Steve. Really, he is a jolly
pirate-almost lovable on the per-
sOnal side.

(Which cannot constitutionally ex-
ercise the power) and abolish the

The success of the famous petit

Roberts has prompted the getting
up of a still larger petition against
Smoot in the senate. 1t was signed
by over 100000 persons, members
of the national league of women's
