Poland's Pltlable Condition.

The situation OF Poland to-day Is
pitiable. Business in Warsaw has
fallen Off so per cent. and more; the
fashionable boulevards are partly de-
serted: the restaurants are but half
filled, and the leading hotel is running
at loss. The city swarms with
troops, but martial law brings only
oppression. not security. Hardly a
day passes but officials are killed or
wounded by the terrorlsts. while sus-
pected persons are arrested, dubbed
or shot TO death by the authorities.
The terrorists are strong enough to
defy the government. while the gov
ernment is strong enough TO crush a
general revolt, and the result is an
archy. When It will end no one can
tell. But some day. says G.. II. Blakes'
lee in the Outlook. peace will surely
come. for Poland is to have autonomy.
The Poles demand II. The great ma
jority of the Russian Duma has prom.
ised It, and Russian liberalism must
eventually win.

AarIeultural Exports.

The calendar year is closing with
every indication that the remarkable
volume of exports win remain at the
food. A bulletin from the bureau OF
statistics at Washington is testimony
TO this effect. The bulletin deals with
the exports OF domestic breadstuffs,
meat and dairy products. food animals
cotton and mineral oils for November
and for the IL months OF the present
year ended with November. The total
OF these exports for November was
s105, 900 against 500. .341 900 in 1905.
and for the II months $7SS,2570OO
compared with $7O3, ,569, 900 last year
The December returns are not likely
TO show any relative decrease, and the
entire year Is fairly certain to show a
large advance over last. Several

economic advantage, as finding mar.

Clarksvllle. Tenn.-An event unique
in the history OF newspaperdom oc.
CURED when the Chronicle was
issued by the use OF a grindstone.
The electric wires furnishing power
for operating n motor which was used
to run the linotype machines were cut
out on account of the burning OF a
building next door, and things looked
exceedingly blue for the issuance of
a paper unless hand composition was
resorted to. Then II was that Amer
lean ingenuity came TO the front.
The linotype operator observed a
big grindstone downstairs. and his
vas the bright idea of hitching It to
the linotype by a belt.
The connection Was quickly made,
and nothing more was needed but to
hitch sufficient muscular energy to the
grindstone TO keep the outfit moving.
Two laborers were secured and set
10 this task, and the thing was done.
The queerlooking device went to
work with utmost facility.
Its appetite for copy was something
phenomenal, and the newswriters aver
that never before were they kept in
such a rush TO supply material.

Dealing sarcastically with the sub

The present system of compulsory

professors incapable OF high thinking
The trustees of universities think
professors would grow lazy in such a
Utopia as a college would be If decent
salaries were paid. This is not the
case. They would have a chance to
take a greater interest in college life

were not compelled to sllimp and save

yourself a wife, It is certainly due to
