ture of the czar II is measure carrying an appro
praton of $7,5ooooo for the relief of the famine
stricken districts Of the empire, and some observers
profess to see in its prompt endorsement by
Nicholas H. strong indication that he proposes to
permit parliament to become vital law-making
body instead of merely advisory and mpotent
one.
1t is, however, difficult indeed, impossible to
discover anything OF political significance in the
measure itself or in the approval which the czar
has seen fit to give it. In many districts in Russia
the crops have failed and millions of people are in
distress. This is condition about which there is
no dispute or question.
Reports received by the government show con-
tinued deterioration in the provinces along the
Volga, and either partial or total failure in many
other sections in which rain came too late to save
the crops from withering. Hailstorms have also
worked~grea destruction in the western and south
western sections where earlier in the year there
was promise of an abundant yield
The fact that the relief bill which was passed
by both branches of parliament was sanctioned by
the in spite OF the open and active hostility OF
his ministers is assumed to indicate that the en-
peror has sufficient courage and independence TO
stand by the douma as against the ministry and he
court.
His action no doubt furnishes ground for IN
enlargement but it gives indication whatever
that he proposes yield an iota on the supremely
vital questions of amnesty and constitutional gov
ernment
AS to these questions the douma makes in
sistent demands which the resists and nothing
in his action on the relief measure gives any hope
that he intends to recede from his position

THE MALIGNED ONION.

Onions are really sweeteners Of the
breath after the local effects have passed
away" says one learned doctor. This
statement Is not In accordance with our
own experience; therefore we avoid
onions. We are still further informed by
the same authority that onions correct
stomach disorders and carry of the ac-
cumulated posons Of the system. They
provide a blood purifier that all may free
ly use. Eaten raw an onion will often
check a cold In the head. One small onion
eaten every night before retiring is this
well-known doctors prescription for MI :
merous affections Of the head and is high
ly recommended for sleeplessness. Per-
sonally. we are never troubled with any
OF these complaints and therefore still
look upon this strange vegetable as
something to avoid.--Vegetarian.

SLAVE GIRLS OF CHINA.

A native writer in a Chinese publica-
tion remarks: When a girl Is sold In
China she becomes the slave OF her
owner and a part OF his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights. but
surrenders them all 10 the will Of those
who own her. She receives no compensa-
tion for her labor. but Is obliged to accept
such raiment and food as her owner may
be pleased TO give her. In case OF tyranny
or gross cruelty she cannot appeal for
redress. She may be resold. given away
or cast off the streets at the arbitrary
will OF her master. All freedom Is denied
her. and she remains tool and chat
tel In the hands OF her owner until she
is sold again or until death releases her
from her unwilling fate"

THE PRODIGAL.

A prodigai. he said. II will arise
And seek my people ere they end
their days"
But when he came unto his native
place,
with heart that feared that all would
recognize
The wayward son, he found II other
wise.
And none did mark with a conscious gase.
The tropic sun had swarthed the
once fair face,
And time had mapped it's walls around
his eyes.
And then the fear that all would know
him grew
To fear that none might know him,
and he sought
His home with faltering steps and
found there one
Whose eyes had lost the brightness OF
their hue
In weeping for him. but who
straightway caught
The wanderer to her heart and cried.
My SON.
