Women Gaining on Men.

The preponderance of men numer-
ically in the United States is explained
by Professor w. #. Wilcox to be due to
two causes namely, lower birth rate
ana less immigration among females
than among males. But as there is a
lower and rapidly decreasing death
rate among women this authority be-
lieves that the disparity will eventually
disappear In the native population. Ac-
cording to the census of 1900 there
were about 100000 more males than
females In this country, and there
were 10000 more deaths among males
than females in that year. However,
the women are more than holding their
own In another way. They are adj
vancing faster In education. Says Pro
fessor Wilcox:
The young women of the country are
now more generally able to read and write
than the men of corresponding age. In
1890 the proportion of illiterate girls under
twenty years of age was less than the
proportion of boys; In 1900 the same was
true among persons up TO twenty-four
| years of age. If this trend of change con-
| tinues for a generation elementary and
| higher education will be possessed more
generally by women than by men.
That threatened extinction of man
which was heralded of late seems to
be far in the future, but if he is to be
snuffed out intellectually he will be
seriously handicapped in the struggle
for survival.

The Douma's Land Programme.
When the ears spokesman before
the douma. lu answer TO the demands
of the Constitutional Democrats, de
scribed their programme for land dis
tribution ms a sweeping denial OF the
right Of private ownership not only OF
land, but of every other kind of prop
erty, he was guilty of misconstruction
and calunlny. The out and out social
lists have some power in Russia and
are not without voice in the national
assembly. But as matter of fact the
land programme framed by the Con
stitutional Democrats TO meet the
needs Of the peasants, which Premier
Goremykin seems to have confused
with that of the Social Democrats -
who have been promising everything
In sight to the ignorant muJiks-goes
no further In the way of contiscation
than does the Wyndham land purchase
act now working In Ireland. 1t Is a
logical conclusion to the peasant eman-
cipation and amelioration begun by
Alexander II. and merely aims to ex-
tend the application of the measures
of relief instituted by the murdered
car
1t is not proposed by the ruling ele-
ment in the douma to confiscate, but to
lease crown and other lands In their
addrocc 10 fbo fbppna tho 70
tives said Parliament would not be
doing its duty if it did not make law
for the satisfaction Of the needs of the
suffering peasants by the aid of crown
domains, u.onastic lands and the COM
pulsory appropriation of land belong
Ing to the owners OF estates" The
eased and appropriation applied only
% lands lying untitled or now leased
,or money or occupied by peasants who
pay rental for it by work on the sep
lrate property of their landlords. Land
20 taken from the owners must be paid
or very much as Lincoln proposed a
compulsory sale to the nation for
nanumission of the slaves at the be-
:inning of the war.
The dOuma's land programme spe-
Tally exempts from appropriation pri-
ate estates not exceeding in extent
be limit fixed in any given district for
easant occupiers; also grazing lands
elonglng to villages, municipal lands
nd estates of zemstvos, educational
nd benevolent institutions. This plan
'ould not make war upon individual
wnership as the premier charged, but
ould strengthen it by defining in law
he principle and extent of individual
wnership. The programme of the
ussian socialists is sweeping and
comises the peasants free land-that
on paper, but the peasants them
lives seem to consider it a wilt
heme, impossible of realization. The
nth is that the land programme o.
e douma seems to outside view high
conscientious and conservative In
cad of radical and sweeping. Thu

People who passed City hall last
evening beheld a scene of much activi-
ty in progress, in the way Of cleaning
the snow from the sidewalk in front of
the building. 1t was not piece of
work which added anything to the
City's snow bill account as those who
were doing it were a gang of seven
hOboes who had applied at the police
station for lodging over night while on
their way to the ice fields down river.
Their arrival at the station was i'll
timed. for they found City Marshal
Donovan present. and that official
thinking that they should make some
returns to the city for the warm berth
which they were to enjoy for the night.
set them at work on the walk. and
also superintendent the job to see that
each one did his share They did not
like the job but it was case of shovel
or tramp to the next town. and So they
shovelled. 1t is feared that if the mar
shall adopts such tactics with the
weary wanderers. they will soon shun
the city for places where they can
find rest for the night without having
to work for it.

TO CIGAR DEALERS.
Don't Remove Box Covers Until the
CIGARS Are Sold.

A matter which will be of interest to
cigar dealers is the following letter
which has recently been sert out by
Cnitd States Internal Revenue COllec-
tor E o. Crossman of the New Hamp-
shire district to some of his deputy
collectors and which takes up the mat
ter of wholly removing the covers Of
cigar boxes before the cigars have been
sold, which is strictly contrary to the
customs laws and which exposes the
person so doing to prosecution. The
letter also takes other points Of in
terest to tobacco dealers:
Sir: AS there appears to be wide
spread misrepresentation concerning the
internal revenue laws relating to keep
ing and exposing for sale manufacture
ed cigars. your careful attention is call
ed to the following provisions of the
United States statutes:
Section 1896, II. s., is as follows:
Sec. 1896. The absence Of the prop
er revenue stamp on any box of cigars
sold, or offered for sale, or kept for
SALE shall be notice to all persons that
the tax has not been paid thereon. anu
shall be prima facie evidence of the
on-paynlent thereon. and such cigars
shall be forfeited TO the United States"
The above section forbids the remov-
al of covers Of cigar boxes prior to the
sale Of the entire quantity of cigars
contained therein. The covers may
lawfully be bent backward. and folded
underneath the box. but i'm no instance
should they be detached until all Of the
cigars have been disposed of.
The public should be cautioned in
relation to the strict provisions Of the
law imposing upon the person who
empties a cigar box. the duty of de-
stroying the stamp. Section 1906. which
provides for this action. lass follows:
Sec. 3iO6. Whenever any stamped
box containing cigars chcroots. or eli
Garettes. is cmptiei it shall be the duty
Of the person in whose hands the same
is to destroy utterly the stamps there
OH. Any person who wilfully neglects
or refuses so to do shall. for each Of
Tense. be fined not exceeding fifty dol
lars and imprisoned not less than 70
day or more than six months. And any
person who fraudulently gives away
or accepts from another, or who sells.
buys or uses for packing cigars. che
roots. or cigarettes. any such stamped
box. shall for each offense be fined not
exceeding one hundred dollars and be
imprisoned not more than one year.
Any revenue officer may destroy any
emptied cigar box upon which cigar
stamp is found
These. as well as other internal rev
enue laws. must be strictly enforced.
