Russian Wheat Report.

That the acreage and preductio.
of wheat In Russia have grown rapid
" and persistently, and that furthe,
growth may be expected that Hatu
raj conditions all faysr such e1tensio
of cereal production there and cha
economic conditions favor the fnrthe.
growth Of wheat 1t the expense )!
rye and other crops, is the general cor
clusion reached in a report Of the
Department of Agriculture on Russian
wheat TS-oduction. The report, how
ever, points out the extremely low av-
erage yield, probably on the whole
the very lowest in the world, espe-
cielly so if the results Of peasant ag-
rculture are considered; and the fire.
quent failures Of crops often leading
to famines accompanied with great
suffering for the people and great dis
turbances Of the grain market.
The causes Of the backwardness OF
Russian agriculture says the report,
were found in the system in land ow-
nership, on one hand, and the an
tiqnated methods Of agriculture due
to the poverty and ignorance of III
people on the other.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
ALL SECTIONS.
An EPITOME OF THE NEY
Cusied From Important Happenin
Throughout the State During Il
Past Week and Reviewed In Brie
For Our Readers.


Among the propositions new pend
Ing before the administration Of Mis-.
sissippi is one that has been submit
ted by the authorities of Louisiana
relative to dividing the expenses Of
placing distinguishing buoys along the
line between the oyster grounds Of
water belonging to the two states.
This matter was the subject Of a
conference between Attorney General
Williams and Hon. John Dymond, Jr..
representing the louisiana Oyster
Commission. The conference lasted
some little time, during which Mr..
Dymond pointed out that the inter-
ests of Mississippi fishermen are as
much at stake in the carrying out Of
this work as those of Louisiana, and
that the marking Of the boundary line
Will be of mutual benefit to each state
Attorney General Williams, while ad-
hitting the equity of this contention,
was forced to point out that the state
of Mississippi could not very well
enter into joint arrangement to share
the expense in the absence Of an APP
preparation for the purpose by she leg
lslature. The matter was referred to
the governor, however, and Mr.. Dy~
mond held conference with the chief
executive, who heard him atteatively.
but could make no specific promise as
to what the legislature would do by
way of refunding any money that the
executive department might undertake
to guarantee during vacation. How
ever, Governor Vardaman intima ted
that he would look into the matter and
see if anything can be done by way
ofsgetting around the laws techni-
'calities. Mr.. Dymond pointed out that
the line to be marked out by these
bu0ys is about SO miles in length,
and that the intention is to place the
series Of buoys about one mile apart,
which wuld entail considerable ex-
pense on the Oyster Commission. The
question is can the state of Missis-
sippi join with Louisiana in the mat
ter, and that is in allegiance. The
governor was exceedingly busy during
the day, much more so than usual,
with several matters in connections
with state institutions to look into,
as we'll as the necessity for leaving
for Parchman this afternoon, and had
no, opportunity for looking further
into this matter.

School Libraries.

One Of the best pieces of legislation
effected at the recent sitting Of the
Mississippi solons was that providing
for the establishment Of school libra
ries, measure that excited consider
able debate when it was initiated in
the senate, and which came very near
being defeated, but, owing to the skill
ful work and calm reasoning by Ssna-
or L. j. Farley, of the Thirty fifth
District. 1ke matter was eventually re-
orted favorably by the Committee on
,ducation, aad included in Che Code
HAPPIER. 1t was recossgnized that the
rural schools especially are in need
Of modern library, and this was
brought up after The matter had been
thoroughly discussed by the State
Teachers Association, and had re-
,eived the warm endorsement of the
superintendent Of Education. The
section provides that when any free
public school has gotten togther the
sum Of $40 by subscription or oth-
srwise, as a neuclus find, and shaA.
furnish a suitable bookcase, the
County Superintendent of Education
SHALL issue his certificate for $40 in ia
vor Of such school to be paid out of
the common school fund, the total
mount allowed by the county, how
over, not to exceed $780, It is further
provided that no school shall receive
l second donation from the School
Fund for library purposes so long as
there are applications pending from
schools not alread supplied. It is
further povided that county library
commissions shall be formed by the
superintendent, and two first grade
teachers, who shall be nan1sd by him,
who shall select the books and have
general charge Of the said library.

Case Of Perjury.

As an aftermath Of the mistrial IN
the case of murder against Junius
Yerger, which occupied the circuit
court all last week, it develops that
there are suspicious of crooked work
on the part Of members Of the jury,
and it is openly charged that one Of
the members of that body stands a
chaxee Of investigation for alleged
perjury. The allegation is that juror
purposely perjured himself in order
to get on the jury. It is stated that
this juror dropped remark to the
effect that he had heard that the de-
ceased MAI, Gale, had procured a
pistol the night prior to the killing,
and that Ms intention has been to
get an the jury in order to inform
the other members of the fact. When
the jury was being drawn this man,
as we'll as others, had under oath stat
ed that he knew nothing direct about
the case, and had no fixed opinion re-
garding it, and was prepared to try
it with mind perfectly clear As re-
suit of this discovery it is the purpose
Of District Attorney Greaves to put
this juror under bond to appear be-
fore the next Grand Jury, and it is
not unlikely some other members Of
the same panel will be scrutinized, as
it is suspected, though not directly
charged, there were others not above
tampering or being tempered with. In
fact, the prosecution IS not at all sat-
isfied with the outcome Of this trial,
and the law officers see cause for
alarm for the future at what seems
to them miscarriage Of justice in thu
late case.

One % the vaGarSes Of Memory.
A child Of American parents was
born In Spain, and, although the Ian
guage Of the family was English. she
learned TO speak Spanish huently. She
then removed to America and went
into Q boarding school where French
was the only language spoken. OF
course. hearing no Spanish, the child
gradually seemed to forget 1t. Her
knowledge Of French was perfect, and
that she used as well as English
When she became an elderly lady her
health failed her. and she sank into
a condition Of physical and mental
weakness. After time her attendants
observed that she seemed not to under
stand anything that was spoken In
English, but conversed In French with
ease. At last she lapsed into long
interval of semiconsciousness, during
which she understood nothing. During
the last days Of her life she suddenly
rallied, and her command of Spanish
came back to her. so that she talked
6uently In 1t and thoroughly under
stood It, As case Of mental lapse
and popularity Of memory this Is con
sidered quite worthy of note.

Herbert spencer's Painted Carpet.
Herbert Spencer once had carpet
which began TO fade when 1t had only
been down a few months. 1t consisted,
or, rather. had consisted, of clusters of
blue flowers on a drabbish ground.
Now, with the principal color gone, II
had become far too dull for the taste
of that lover of brightness. He there
fore conceived the unique idea of hav-
Ing each flower stamped over with red
Ink. For this purpose he invented
small tin tray. which was made so that
II stood quite fat on the floor to pre-
vent any possibility Of the ink being
spilled or dropped about. Bent In 1t
were little wells about as large round
and twice as thick as halfpenny
These deprossions were filed with the
liquid. The sempstress-whom he was
always glad of an excuse to employ
because she was so Woodworking and
SO poor-was soon set to carry out his
plan. Down on her knees she had to
90, and as she was decidedly stout 1t
was no light task. With cork cut the
exact size and dipped in Ink she press.
ed firmly down on each flower, thus
leaving II as II covered with red cher
ries. No wonder II took her over
week, working all day, for the carpet
was from twenty-five to thirty feet
long and proportionately wide.-Har-
