Crows Stop a Railroad Train.

The Journal des Debats says that
crows stood so thickly on the main
line between Paris and Strasburg the
other day and that such a slaughter
was caused by a freight train plow-
ing through them that the train It
self was stopped and that a passenger
train behind was therefore held up
for some time. These birds, it seems,
collect in great numbers at this time
of the year in the district in ques-
tion-between Liverdun and Frouard,
in the Meurthe-et-MoseIle. They
alighted on the track on account of
scraps of food thrown from a dining
a and did not move when the
freight train arrived.-From the
European Edition of the New York
Herald.

Quite Voluntary.

"Did 1 understand you to say that
this boy voluntarily confessed his
share in the mischief done to the

small, dirty, struggling boy by the

JAP EXCLUSION BILL PASSED.
Senate Adopts Report on immigration
Bill.

Washington, D. C.-After a day
full of spirited debate, in which there
were denials of attempted coercion on
one side and criticism of President
Roosevelt on the other for alleged
d~ictation to Congress and to the State
of California in connection with the
adjustment of the Japanese situation,
the Senate adopted the conference re-
port on the immigration bill which
contains the vital amendment confer
ring power on the President to exclude
undesirable classes of alien laborers
from this country.
When the immigration bill has
been approved by the President,
thereby becoming law, the San Fran
cisco School Board will remove the
discriminating restrictions upon jap
anese pupils and the State Depart
ment will agree with the japanese
Government on the form of a treaty
permitting both Japan and the United
States to exclude undesirable classes
of laborers from either country.

Electricity and Plants.

Summarizing the progress that has
been made in electro-culture, B. Tolks-
dorf, a German, finds it fairly well
proven that electricity is essential to
the growth of vegetation, although
the important part played is not yet
understood.
Professor Lemstrom has found that
plants soon died under a wire cage,
which excluded atmospheric electric
ity. while freely admitting air, heat
and light. In S~pitzbergen and Fin
nish Lapland large crops are always
connected with the early appearance
of the Northern Lights, and in the
experiments that have been made
SO far on a small scale-the yield of
many plants has been increased by
an artificial supply of electricity and
water.
1t is supposed that electricity stim-
ulates the sap exchange of plants,
while Lemstrom has shown that it
greatly magnifes capillary power,
thus probably enabling the plants to
take in more food from the ground.

THAW TRIAL A CRAZE.
Steamers Reaching Liverpool Raided
by Crowds Seeking Newspapers.

buccaneers Heacl1lnS LlVeFVOOi halucu
by Crowds Seeking Newspapers.
Liverpool.-Long cabled reports Of
the Thaw trial are filling some of the
most prominent columns of every
newspaper every day. They have
only whetted the eagerness of a sec
ton of the public here for fuller de-
tails, with the result that each in
coming transatlantic steamer is
boarded by a crowd that is frantic
to obtain copies of New York papers.
The passengers were quick to real
ize the demand and they refuse to sell
except at good prices. 1t does not
matter if the papers are torn and
travel stained so long as their ac-
counts of the trial are intact. The
stewards on the steamers are reaping
a glorious harvest, often obtaining
seven or eight shillings for a single
copy.
The steamship companies have for
hidden their employees to traffic in
newspapers, but the trade goes on
surreptitiously. The buyers are
chiefly young men and youths from
city offices. 1t is a common sight on
a train or street a to see a young
fellow struggling with a big Ameri-
can newspaper, which probably cost
him a quarter of his weeks salary.

place for two years. He estimated
that the output amounted to 5000
pounds weekly, on which, he assert
ed, the Government had been de-
frauded of a tax of nine and three

CHANGES IN MEMS FASHIONS.
Who Invents the Newest Cut in
Clothes?

SNOliIeS
Where do mems fashions in wear
ing apparel originate? An effort to
solve this mysterious problem is
made in a recent issue of Mems Wear,
published in London.
The idea that men of high social
Status influence fashion is, accord
ing to the expert journal, a ~fallacious
bne.
THE aristocracy-both the older
and younger sections thereof-are
stated to be, as a class, extremely
conservative in their attitude toward
dress, and move but little from n
year to another. They buy good
stuff, and often, but will tolerate no
experiment.
Rather is it the smart military
man, and the sporting Individual, who
is the willing exponent of ideas
(Which may be his own or another's),
and leaves his mark often upon the
styles which find more general ac-
ceptation in the West End, and which
are handed down to the wider circle
OF city and provincial wearers.
Among them new ideas receive
consideration, and the sartorial art
list enjoys an enlarged scope.
Dotted about in thoroughfares
such as Grafton street and Brook
street are many tailors whose shops
would scarcely be suspected as be-
ing connected with tailoring, and
which give the impression of small
Offices OF a semi-private nature.
Their clients are young officers in
the guards, wealthy sportsmen, and
similar men of considerable position,
and with a certain liking for con-
spicuity.
Here, it may be taken for granted,
many important sartorial plots are
Matched, and it is the tailor, and not
the customer, who plays the leading
part"

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another Of these m
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

made from native roc IS and herbs has
carried thousands OF .Joung girls over

prepared mothers for childbirth, and
In later years carried them safely

fact beyond contradiction.
