 At Moscow troops are now guarding all the railroad stations and several factories, including the Abrikosof works, where the workmen are restive.
 At Sukhum, Transcaucasia, the ruth less manner in which General Alikha- noff has crushed the revolution in the government of Kutais by raging towns, executing ringleaders of the move ment and driving sympathizers with it to the mountains has produced such resentment that acts of terror and the throwing of bombs at the troops are frequent. General Alikhanoff has pro- claimed and is enforcing martial law with terrible rigor, and revolutionaries or other persons caught with arms are immediately shot.
 The circulation of false reports at Hartsov that the pensions of widows of soldiers who fought in the Russo Japanese war had been withdrawn caused a mob to besiege the mayoral- ty building and demand distribution of money, threatening otherwise to burn the city. Cossacks and troops finally dispersed the mob.

THAT ONE WEAK SPOT.

Kidney sickness rsbsi the back of all It's power and strength. It's hard to lift, to stoop or straighten, ana even to get up from chair.
 This indescribable weakness of the back, the endless dull aching that goes with it, are never-failing symptoms of kidney complaint. A bad back is Ma lures signal of distress, call for help from the kidneys. The aching tells of dangerous congestion that robs the kidneys of their blood-flltering power, or painful, wasting inflammation. There is immediate need for Doan's Kidney Pills, to relieve the pain and heal the diseased kidneys. to ward on more fatal and painful disorders.
 Healthy kidneys keep you well by Keeping the blood pure. Sick kidneys keep you sick by failing to purify the blood. This is the cause of many forms of rheumatism, neuralgia and gout: of such nervous troubles as headache, irritahlity. dizzy spells. de precision: of palpitation of the heart. stomach troubles, liver complaint; of Ia grippe. colds. chills: of half the aches and ills of humanity.
 Learn to keep the kidneys well. Doan's Kidney Pills will do 1t for you. Grateful residents of this city testify. Their statements prove 1t to you.

WHILE THE FOREST GROWS.


Shrubs, Herbs and Flowers Disap-
pear for Lack of Sunlight.
LII it's youth the spruce forest offers
an inviting home to Towering plants,
both shrubs and herbs. The soil is
moist and rich, consisting in large part
of decaying leaves and twigS. The
shade, though nearly uniform, is not
dense and f1ecks of sunshine appear
everywhere in it. The light is not
strong enough to produce a tangled I'M
dergrowth, but a weIl-developed growth
is found everywhere except in the most
shaded spots.
The layer of shrubs and bushes con-
sists largely of the mountain maple,
rose and ninebark, among which are
scattered birches, gooseberries, raspber-
ries and viburnums. In spring the
ground is carpeted with Strawberries.
Along the brooks white and yellow VIC
let's are common and orchids are scat
tered here and there. In the summer
flowers are abundant, gentians, blue
bells, goldenrods, daisies, cOlumbines
and painted cups vying with each other
in giving color to the mass of green. In
the shadier places low ferns abound,
while the moist soil of the shadiest
hooks is clothed with NOSES and lichen.
AS the forest grows older the shrubs
are the first plants to disappear, be-
cause Of the increasing 1shade. They
are followed after a few years first by
~ +,I NV n
until only those flowers that require
little light are left. Even these persist
only in more open spots and finally dis
appear and the shade becomes uniform
~ dense.
A mature forest, 200 years old or
more, rarely allows even stray sun
beam to pass and beneath it is twilight
at MONDAY. A few evergreen pirOlas
blossom in scattered groups. Clusters
Of the coral root are found frequently
in bloom, but this is a leafless orchid
that requires little or no light. The
ground is covered with 4 dense layer
of brown spruce needles, which furnish
a home for toadstools and cup fungi,
and in the moister places for lichens
and MOSES.
The forest has now reached its final
stage. 1t may still persist in this form
for several hundred years. Indeed, if
it is not removed by an accident, it is
difficult to set a limit to its age. In
any event, a forest can rarely live 1000
years, owing to the great weight Of the
tree tops and the fact that decay Is
constantly weakening the trunks.-St.
Nicholas.

KEEP A GAMBLERS SCHOOL.

Monte Carlo Managers Train Their
CrOupiers Most MethOdicaIIy.
The Monte Carlo casino trains all it's
own croupiers, and very rigorous that
training is. When an applicant is ia
vorably considered for training he has
to come up for medical examination.
After this examination the recruit to
the croupier's chair comes up for six
hours training every day in the school
which is situated at the back Of the ca
sine, provided that he can prove he has
been a resident in the principality of
Monaco for at least a year.
Throwing money is one of the most
important items of the curriculum, for
it is imperative that crOupier shall be
able to throw a handful Of money so
that it will pitch with unfailing precis-
ion on any spot on the table. To throw
money quickly and so that it does not
pitch on end and roll is not so easy as
it seems and it is generally three weeks
before the young crOupier satisfies his
trainer that he is proficient in this part.
Now comes the most difficult part of
the training, learning to reckon money
mechanically. The croupier must never
count; if he did the slow progress Of
the game would try the patience of all
the players. He must become a verita-
BILE ready reckoner and this, of course,
only comes by practice. But to prove
to what a high state this reckoning can

croupier passes to the casinaO trained
staff he is able to tell the value of
the coins in his hand simply by the feel
Of them-that is to say, he could pick
up a number of coins and without paus-
ing tell you their value.
Every day each pupil is made to sit
as croupier at a table around which are
gathered his fellow pupils, who start
playing with metal disks of sizes and
values equivalent to the coins used at
the tables. This test is a trying one
for the budding croupier. Everyone
does his best to f1uSter him, the disks
spin across the cloth and if his mind
does not take in the proper values and
lie loses his head he knows that his
prospects are in jeopardy.
Once a croupier becomes proficient he
can, when drafted into playing saloons,
hold his post for a great many years,
but as he only receives $3.50 per annum
as a roulette croupier he is not able to
save much. Nevertheless he is we'll
looked after, for if he becomes i'll he
has his medical attendance free.-.De-

Ears of Criminals.

Before the annual congress of Ger
man anthropologists, which is now
meeting at Gerlitz, Prof. Blau, a we'll
known authority on diseases of the
ear, read an interesting paper on the
formation Of the ears Of criminals and
lunatics, says the London Telegraph.
Prof. Blau has taken accurate meas
urements of LOCI ears. Of these 255
are the ears of lunatics and 343 those
Of male criminals The examination,
moreover, was confined to men of one
race and one country.
The professor comes to the conclu-
sion that in the vast majority of cases
the various parts Of the auricle, or ex-
ternal ear, are larger in the case of
criminals and lunatics than in the case
Of normal persons. That is especially
noticeable in the helix, or incuryed out
Ell border of the ear and also in the
lobe. According to Prof. Blau, the
larger the helix is, the lower the state
Of mental development. The hearing
faculty, on the other hand, is keener
by reference to the auricles of apes
who are all in possession of this eX-
tended outer border. Prof. Blau add
ed the curious remark that an abnOr-
NAL development of the outer border
was more noticeable among criminals
charged with sexual crimes than any
other classes of criminals.
