War with Japan, according to official
figures, cost Russia more than billion
dollars. The estimated expenditures
for 1905 are a quarter of billion more
than the estimated receipts. Not since
our Civil War has any nation had a
greater complexity of problems to face.
America weathered the worst of the
troubles Of the year 1865. No one can
predict what may happen to Russia, or
what revolutionary government might
do with the national debt

various parts of the Southern United
States. The little animal has the re-
markable habit OF quickly and com
pletely changing its coIors, varying

Its food consists of insects. The little
animal is perfectly harmless to higher
forms of life, is often kept as a pet,
and has been worn attached to chain
as an ornament.
The toes are provided with adhesive
pads, which enable the lizard to run

In the laudable and humane crusade
against tuberculosis there Ia not enough
account taken Of pneumonia. dis
ease which Is not merely scourgo
In itself, but which is the predlsposlng
cause OF large proportion Of cases OF
pulmonary tuberculosis. The man
who outlives an attack Of pneumonia,
no matter II he makes what Is termed
a complete recovery, Is always espe-
cially susceptible to tuberculosis Of
the lungs, Yet II the medical experts
really know much about pneumonia
they are remarkably successful In keep
Ing their knowledge to themselves.
There Is small advance In the treat
ment of the disease; there Is. apparent
", none at all In It's prophylaxis The
rapeutics Is at a standstlll. Pneu-
monla kills more and more people
every year. II continues to upset ac.
cepted theories, IL used to be held,
for instance, that pneumonia was
cold-weather disease, thriving most Wig
orously In slush, wet and raw atmos-
phere. but that theory has been pret.
ty badly damaged by the spread OF
the disease. Pneumonia flourishes all
the year round. and in climates where
the supposedly typical conditions are
entirely absent. 1t Is found In the dry,
aseptic regions Of New Mexica aud
Arizona. 1t is uDpleasantIy prevalent
In Southern California. where 1t Is
most active, not during the rainy sea
son, but in dry weather The only
place, indeed, where IL has not found
Its way seems to be In the arctic re-
gions. No pneumonia has been reported
by the polar expeditions, yet accord
ing to the old theory the extreme north
Is the very place where it should
thrive. Something seems to be wrong
with the germ theory of the disease.
too. The experts declare 1t to be high
ly infectious and contagious, yet they
admit that an examination of the
throats of given number of men would
disclose the presence of the pneumoeoc-
Gus, or pneumonia germ, In large pro-
portion of them. Why is 1t that these
subjects do not contract pneumonia? 1t
Is, perhaps, true that good many of
them do contract 1t, but why not all OF
them? When we come to the treat
ment of the disease 1t is admitted to be
more good luck than anything else that
pulls the patient through. The best
medical skill is powerless. If the pa
tient's vital force Is sufficient to fight
off the disease he RECEIVERS, II not he
dies and all the physicians In the
world cannot save him. Thus 1t ap-
pears that there is no positive means
of prevention and there is certainly
none of cure. As for the bacterIology
of the disease, 1t Is, to say the least,
mixed. Yet, as has been said, pneu-
monia is the elder brother of pulmon-
ary tuberculosis, besides being a dead
ly plague in itself. 1t Is the terror of
urban communities In particular, and
1t increases its scope steadily. If there
is any one subject to which medical
attention should be directed, 1t is this
slayer, which has for its chosen vic
tim the man in the prime of his pow
ers. There Is no disorder more deadly.

Grapes may be canned whole without
the usual process of scaldlng. Heat the
jars very hot by steamlng them over
water brought gradually from tepid to
boiling heat, or by placing them In tho

and increasing the heat gradually.

swathe the cans; then fill them with
cold grapes, cover with boiling water

take of the covers. pour off the water,
and cover with boiling syrup sweetened
to taste, and seal. The skins will not
break and the fruit will have very
different flavor from seeded grapes.

colonies of the empire as well as deals
with its relations to other countries.
Because of the increasing Importance
of the colonies, German statesmen are

of the cabinet, to be known as the CO.
lonial secretary. The British did this
years ago, says Youths Companion.
and they have secretary of state for
Foreign affairs. The United States has
sot had foreign dependencies long
enough to evolve any plan for their
management. The Philippine islands
and Porto Rico were acquired by con
quest, treaty and purchase. and began
their relations to this country with
the secretary of war as the cabinet Of
