The inability of the railways to move all the traffic offered is best illustrated by the decision of certain trunk l.nes to discontinue tenn porarily the making of contracts with western shippers for the transportation of grain from the Lakes to the At

The Russian Press Believes 1t Will Have a MOderatng Effect On Certain Puffed-Up Oriental Nations-The Final Ceremonies Today.

London, Dec. 15.-The daily news papers are publishing long accounts of the preparations for the cruise of the American fleet, but refrain from com- menting upon it's significance. The weekly publications discuss the pOli- tical significance of the movement and the outlook They say of the cruise. Tt is impossible to separate it from the tension that exists between the United States and Japan"
 The Sunday Observer says t is diff ficult to believe that the cruise was dictated by purely professional reas- one. and says The plain fact is. the cruise is a political reconnaissance lin force. with view to taking rise out Japan. Its despatch looks singularly like bluff and indiscretion."

Forcing Rhubarb.

The medicinal value of rhubarb as
a spring tonic and blood purifier has
become well known. Where our grand
mothers at the breaking up of winter
dosed their families with all sorts Of
herb teas and bitter connections. we
moderns indulge in fresh vegetables
with equally good results as to health
and a decided Improvement in palata-
bleness.
There is but one drawback to this
diet of green vegetables-the expense.
Though with railroad and express
facilities. Southern growers are doing a
bigger business each year in early
fruits and vegetables for the North, the
prices that must necessarily be charged
are practically prohibtive to the ma
jority Of families.
However, if one can afford to buy
these delicious and lth-bringing
foods, why not raise them at home

pipes and any amount Of expensive
paraphernalia to be owned" But that

can be forced in a simple hotbed with
a good bottom heat of sixty-flve to
seventy degrees, and be ready for cut
ting in about three weeks.
But to grow rhubarb. such delicious
deep red, entirely stfingless rhubarb as
one can not possibly gather from gar
den, even a Southern garden, is the
simplest matter in the world. The
veriest amateur can do it. provided he
owns a cellar-and will take a little
trouble.

four years old that have been slightly

If the roots are bought in quantities

bottom and sides for ventilation, and in
the bottom put thin layer Of broken

this with a layer of ordinary garden

Some growers advise a preliminary
layer of leaves or manure on which to

The stalks will start to grow at once.
and can be cut in from two to four
weeks time. Water very sparingly.
Avoid as much as possible watering

be set occasionally in pan OF water

be allowed to grow two feet long before
