FINLAND.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-By CON-
handing that 100000 shall be paid
out of the Finnish revenue into the
Russian exchequer, the car has taken
the first step to a renewal of his at
tack upon Finnish liberties which was
predicted as the result of the general
reaction within the empire. Russian
jurists admit that the cars order is
a breach of the Finnish constitution.
The 100000 is Finland's contribu-
ton to Russian finance as substitute
for the now disbanded Finnish regi-
ments. Finland, however, is under no
obligation to pay. Two years ago,
when the Finnish army was abolished,
the then existing diet agreed to pay
compensation until an agreement was
arrived at in regard to the army Ques-
ton. This promise was purely volun-
tary. At the time it was provided that
the annual subvention should continue
for three years. But under the Fin
nish constitution, a diet can sanction
expenditure only for the current year,
and the three years provision was il
legal. The new diet did not sanction
the contribution, because Finland
wishes to revive her disbanded regi-
ments under the old law which re-
stricted them to home service. Under
these conditions, the Firms are willing
to undergo compulsory service, in COM
mon with Russians. Uncertainty as
to the issue continued all last year.
But on receiving the report of the
governor of Finland, M. Gerhard, the
car wrote a peremptory note, saying,
Il command that the $4,000,00o shall
be paid into the imperial treasury"
In reply to the declaration of the diet
that the Finnish taxes are insufficient
to meet the claim, the car has ordered
temporary taxes, levied for other pur-
poses, to be sequestrated, adding the
words, Il remind the diet that the
right to dispose of these funds belongs
exclusively to me-" According to the
constitution, the car has no right
whatever to command the levying of
taxes, or to advocate taxes already
order that the army contribution,
which the diet itself could only vote
year by year, shall be permanent
charge upon Finland. Taken together
with the increasing of the Finnish gar
risons, this last arbitrary measure
may be regarded as an indication that
Finland's liberties are to be abol.
ished.

The mint of Sweden turned out
100000 in coins and $4,000 medals in
the year 1907.
Landshofding (governor) Bjorklund
has publicly stated that the people of
Vesterbotten are suffering on account
of the partial failure of the crops last
summer. The distress is further ag-
gravated by lack of means of CON-
munication. Much of the stock has
been butchered because it is realized
that it pays better to take good care
of a few head than to care but poorly
for a larger number. The provincial
and national governments keep $11 900
which may be used as relief fund,
but the governor believes in self-help.
The government has decided to cut
$1,000 more trees than the forestry de-
partment had calculated on, and this
will give the people an extra chance
to make money.

A Bold holdup.

st. Paul.-Dick Tu1pin was dash
ing, venturesome sort of desperate,
but he was not in it with the lone
highwayman who held up Batroot
Bros saloon at Jackson and Eleventh
streets.
The clock had just struck nine when
Christian Batroot and eight friends
were rudely interrupted by tall
gentleman whose features were con-
cealed by black handkerchief. He
wore a heavy automobile ulster and a
leather automobile cap. The most
distinguishing feature of the intru Ter,
however, was full-grown revolver
with which he emphasized his COM
mand: Glands up!"
Mr.. Batroot's friends obeyed the
order promptly, but Mr.. Batroot es-
sayed to contradict, the masked ones

of business. Mr.. Batroot didn't get
very far with his part of the sketch,
however, because the robber shot at
him. The bullet flew uncomfortably
close to Mr.. Batroot's car, and figur-
ing that whole skin was worth more
than an empty cash register, Mr..
Batroot followed the example of the
eight and elevated his hands into the
smokewreathed atmosphere of the
room.

DEN MARK,

Denmark restored whipping a Few
years ago as punishment for certain
crimes. The Danish minister of justice
recently stated in an interview that
the effect of the change has been graft
flying. He believes that Sweden and
Norway will eventually follow the ex-
ample of Denmark. He admitted that
theoretically some strong arguments
may be made against whipping, but
practical people who are compelled
to deal with criminals ought to have a
decisive voice in the matter. BY in
Producing whipping, he said, no risk is
run except that some tough subjects

Will Lecture.

Minneapolis. Gov. johnson has
made an agreement to deliver series
of Chautauqua lectures this summer
and has also made provisional agree
ment with the Slayton Lyceum bureau
of Chicago to deliver a series of lee
lures next year. The governor will
prepare two lectures, the subject be-
ing "The Majesty of Law" and "Land-
marks of Liberty"
Gov. johnson said that he had re-
ceived great number of invitations
to deliver lectures at different places
this summer and that while he could
not, on account of his official duties,
accept any great number of them, he
had decided to speak at few places,
making a series of not to exceed ten
or dozen lectures. In order to save
the trouble of having the details of
the arrangements on his hands, he
had placed the matter in the hands of
lecture bureau.
He has also made provisional
agreement for the next year, although
he says this is not a contract. He
does not say what the provisions are,
but it is presumed that the political
developments next summer may be
one of the deciding factors.

Insurance Profits.

St. Paul. According to compila-
tions made from the returns of fire
insurance companies to the state in
surance commissioner, the year 1907
was profitable so far as Minnesota
business was concerned.
In the entire state the premiums
for all kinds of fire insurance COM
panies amounted to $7,113, $50; the
Losses only So, ZOE, 1866. For 1906, the
premiums for the state were $6, &c.,
451, and the losses So, 1888, 1888. In
other words, during 1907, the fire in
surance premiums were nearly $780,
600 greater and the losses less than
the year before.
In Minneapolis the premiums were
Fl ,689, 213, and the losses but $500, 224.
The city of Minneapolis alone paid
fire insurance companies during the
one year $1,000, 600 more than the
companies returned in the adjust
ment of losses. This tremendous pro-
fit in Minneapolis was also true the
year before, when the premiums were
but little less, 81, 627, 1856, to losses of
az, 416.
The above figures do not include
the cost of doing business in the
state.

Raising Peanuts.


Those who have never rriel pea

souri, farmer to do so If only for
family use. He gives the following
instructions as 10 the best method
of doing it: Use ordinary garden
soil, not too rich, and prepare 1t
we'll before planting. Plant about
bean planting time. Run o1t tren-
ches about / IL inches deep. and 3
feet apart, hills eight feet apart, 3
nuts to the hill. Cover AMI rake
smooth so that the nuts will not be
more than one inch below the sur
face. Keep the soil loose by plow-
ing occasionally, throwing the soil
to the plants each time you plow
Just before frost pull them up (you
can pull them with your hands)
turning the nuts to the sun, then
let them lie several days to dry out
Pick and store away, being sure
that they are we'll dried out before
putting them in bulk. This Is the
way we raise the red peanuts. we
like these better than the white be-
,, caus they bunch. while the white
ones spread two feet and sometimes
more. making them troublesome tt

Raising Table Supplies.

We often wonder why every own
er of a piece of ground does not
grow thereon about everything ne
needs for home consumption. the
theory that he can devote himself TO
a speciality, raise one thing and sell
it. and then buy what he needs for
his own use is very altruistic, but
exceedingly expensive and vision
arv. If things could come out as we
feure them. we might all be rich
but they don't. For cycle OF years
they bring success, we make money
and are contented. Then the con-
ditions change and reverses come
and we are hard run. Now, ii we
have been wise, our land is so plat
ted and cultivated that we are able
IN raise everything we need along
the line of garden truck, and our ex.
ra,Sos ~ we own some chickens and
