New England may be "decaying, I"
but it isn't dead yet. AS compiled by
the f. w. Dodge company, the con-
tracts for building operations awarded

responding period last year, The high
record in recent years was in 1902,
when for this same period the con-
tracts aggregated $6S,975,OOO, as against
1885,, 900 in 1901. For the week ending
May 20 last, the contracts, amounted to

1902, and about $1,0OOOOO less than for

The Navy department has learned
that there has been a waste of con-
densed milk in the service due to the
supposition that the capitalization of
that article, carried in storage on board
ship, rendered the milk worthless. Pro-
ceeding on this theory, those in charge
of the article have been in the habit of
throwing it overheard. The department
has recently submitted samples to three
different chemists, who agree in their
reports that the crystallization of con-
densed milk does not render it worth
less by any means, and that it can
easily be restored to its good condition
by mixing it with little cold water,
when it will have it's original conss-
tency. This announcement is made to
the officers in charge of the stores,
with the result that there is destined
to be a saving in an article which hith-
erto has been permanently disposed of.

Per haps 1t was an accident-who cay say but the guards in Paris were in famed to revolt by the killing of one of their comrades by hired Swiss and German soldiers in the pay of the French monarch; when followed soon on the revolt of the soldiers the suc- cessfnl assault on the Bastile, there came in fatal succession the events eliminating in the reign of terror.
 To-day in Russia what fills the soul of the czar with alarm Is the attitude of the army. Everywhere is evi- denced revolutionary tendencies among the soldiers. even the troops In the capital show serious disafiection. Early In June a number of non-com- missioned officers and 30 troopers, of the horse guards, also some non-com- missioned officers of other guard reg iments. were seized and put in prison. their place of Imprisonment most carefully sentineled.

 A careful student of affairs says that the immortality, wastefulness, ex- travagance and tyranny of the nobles class in France has perhaps never been paralleled save by the Russian aristocracy; and the ignorance of the French peasant perhaps no more than that of the Russian peasant to-day. Raised from serfdom only in 1861, making use only of crude methods of agriculture, heavy obligations i'm posed upon him. the Russian peasant lives like beast.

We count things from the French revolution, reckon from before and after that tremendous epoch. This Is reasonable; 1t is superficial, however, every time a country shows tempest in teapot to draw parallels of the agi- tation therein and the great reyolu- ton that overturned France. The country we shall speak of, Russia, Is not to be classed with those mo- mentarily disturbed by little ripples of unrest: present conditions in Russia, the sinister aspect of the people. bear striking likeness to conditions In France just before the storm burst.
 We find in France prior to tho rev. olution oppressive war taxes, profli- gate coirt-sharpest contrast of lux ury and miserable poverty--a corrupt clergy, the nations prestige weakened by defeat in war, and then as climax, a weak and vacillating monarch. Rus sia's humiliation at the hands of Japan has shown the ignorant Russian peas ants that their Little Father is not the all-powerful being they had been led to believe; ir Russia to-day we nnd clergy given over to luxury and the expressing rather than uplifting of the people; in Russa we find g country weakened by war and fam inc; in Russia we have vacillating ruler afraid not to give the people a voice. afraid to give them hearing, and absolutism. with its prop, the army, falling.

Girl Is Saved by a Dog.

The animal had knocked the girl down with it's horns and would have killed her, but the dog jumped al the animals heels, which attracted it's attention. The steer then turned upon the dog, which seized it's nose, and Miss Henderson escaped with several slight bruises and few wounds. Her clothing was all torn from her body.

Twelve Shirts Peeled from Water Hating Ex-0ficer, and Then
 Thrown Into Creek.

H a
 Callicoon, N. Y.-Twelve shirts were peeled from the wriggling body of Obadiah Osterhout. backsliding po- liceman, when "citizens' protective committee" formed for the purpose forcibly washed him in the crystal cur rent of Callicoon creek the other day.
 Obadiah had a horrible habit of avoiding the sight of water. When one shirt got too dirty he slipped an other more or less clean over it, rather than exert himself to remove the first. This and his pronounced aversion to the ceremony of personal ablution proved fatal to Obadiah. His presence pervaded the neighborhood and perme- ated the wind. There was never any doubt when Obadiah was approaching. As the hot weather came on he grew more and more unmistakable.
 A grievance committee called on Obadiah and urged him for the good of the community to reform and wash. Obadiah responded with threats of ar rest and dire punishment for anyone who interfered with him, and contin- ued to air himself.
 A protective meeting of the citizens was called and strong committee was appointed to carry out the edicl against Obadiah. The errins ex-policeman was plunged seven times, and yet an- other seven, in the creek. The shirts were separated from his body and burned, far away from human lrabita. ton. The man was wrung out and dried. Then he was informed that the ceremony would be repeated as often as necessary.
 Obadiah promised to behave.
