hope and confidence in the hearts of

Men who talked of building, are now
going to build. Men who hesitated
about feeding cattle, are now going to

that can be purchased Men who are

of the ground in the spring.
The Thompson farm. five miles south

north of Eldora, was sold last week to
Reynold Steinfeldt. at 1914 per acre. The

To Study Southern Forests.

An important step in the general
movement to bring many of the rich
stands of timber in the South under a
scientific plan of forest management is
the offer made by the school of forestry
of the University of Georgia at Athens,
Ga, to furnish timber owners experts
who will examine and report upon any
of the forests in the State.
The object of the offer is to collect in
formation in regard to the forest re-
source of the State, to spread knOwl-
edge of forestry and to improve forest
conditions. The forest school will
furnish the experts free and the only
expense which will be borne by the
forest owner will be paid for the travel
ing and subsistence expenses of the ex-
pert while making the examination.
In cases where several owners of the
same locality apply the expenses will
be prorated.
When applications for examination
are made, the owners have been asked
to give their names and post office ad-
dresses, location of tract, area of tract,
character of forest as shown by the
kinds of trees growing on the land, the
conditions of the forest, whether ma
ture, original or second growth, wheth-
er the land has been burned or cut

Attractive Ways to Prepare Toma-
toes,

Tomatoes filled with mayonnaise are
not new, but there is a new way of pre-
pairing this old salad Scald and peel
small, very round tomatoes and chill
them; with sharp knife cut each one
through from the top down to the
circle at the bottom on which it nat
urally stands; press these sections apart
and you will have round, red affair,
which looks like thick-petaled rose;
make some very stiff mayonnaise and,
just before serving, put a spoonful in
each one.
Another particularly good way of
making tomato salad is this: Peel
and slice evenly some large ones; take
some fresh American cheese and cut
some thin slices just as large as the
tomato rounds; put one slice of cheese
between each two of the tomato, max
ing a sandwich and, as you do so,
spread each slice with little mayon-
naise. Put one sandwich on leaf OF
| lettuce for each person and top it with
spoonful of stiff mayonnaise.

STUDENT LIFE IN RUSSIA.
GREAT VARIETY OF TYPES, REPRE-
SENTING MANY NATIONALTIES.

GREAT VARIETY OF TYPES, REPRE-
sENTING MANY NATIONALTIES.
The Russian student world does not
represent a compact homogeneous mass
OF Russians, but reflects the variety OF
different nationalities, which form
144, ,000, 600 inhabitants of this empire
and of its 100 or more languages and
dialects.
This, writes Baron Paul Nicolay in
the Student World, is especially ap-
parent in the western universities, in
Yoorieff (Dorpat,) for example, where
the Polish, German, Lettish, Esthonian
and Russian students form distinct
groups, the last comprising, besides
'sgreat" and ''small" Russians, num-
Dor of Jews and Of dark-faced Arme-
mans and Georgians from the Caucasus.
These groups are not on friendly terms
with each other. 1t is impossible be-
fore correct census has been taken to
give an exact estimate of the number
of students in the eight universities
and about 36 high technical schools
for men and in the 10 or II higher in
stitutionS for wOmen but it is certain
that the number has of late greatly in
creased, after having risen in ST. Peters
burg from IA, 800 in 1905 to %, 800, in
cluding about S400 women. The total
cannot be below $4,000. The students
are concentrated in a few great centres,
making access for work among them
easier. All the universities and almost

The distinctly Russian class of stu
dents produce on a foreigner an impress
sion that is not prepossessing. With
the exception of few dandies in the
capital, they are mostly extremely
poor and crowd into the universities
without financial means, in hope of
finding work or lessons to live on, and
many are almost starving. A foreigner

lack of restraint, unreliability, lack of
enterprise and perseverance, and the
more than loose way in which they re-
gard the very worst forms of sin. The
sense Of right aud wrong seems to be
Obliterated to a terrible extent.
But much must be said in favor of
these students, to make up for these
dark outlines. Russians are an emo
tional people, quick to feel and to act
under impulse, open to the worst and
to the best and highest influences. You
will hardly anywhere find more warm
hearted, generous, unselfish people,
once you have won their affections.

THE JURY HAD TO TEACH THE POM
POUS JUDGE A LESSON.
A certain trial judge in a certain state
became so unpopular that the only
way he could get verdict for the state
was to make his charge in favar of the
prisoner When matters had reached
this stage famous feud fighter was
arrested on a charge of murder and
brought to trial. The case, which was
the judges first murder trial, attracted
much attention, and the judge, whose
unpopularity arose from his vanity and
pomposity, greatly enjoyed his role as
umpire Of the law. The case was a
clear one against the defendant, and
his guilt was so conclusively proved
that the judge even presumed to
charge accordingly. The jury retired,
and when they filed back into court it
was noticed that they avoided the
prisoners eye and looked unusually
solemn.
"Genlemen,o said the judge, waving
the clerk into silence, "have you reach
ed verdict"
ave have" said the foreman.
The judge opened a paper bag and
drew out black cap. With an i'm
portant look around the courtroom he
placed this on his head and pulled it
down until it met his ears.
"Prisoner," he said, ''arise and look
at the jury, Jury, arise and look at
the prisoner. Gentlemen, what is your
verdict?n
Thejurymen, who had been whisper
ing to each other, nodded cheerfully
at the prisoner.
"Not guilty." said the foreman.
"Of course" he said later, when ev-
cry one had shaken the innocent man s
hand, che was guilty all right, and

INSANITY AND CRIME.
PROBLEM THAT IS STILL IN A VERY
UNSETTLED CONDITION.

PROBLEM THAT IS STILL IN A VERY
UNSETTLED CONDITION.
The whole problem of the relation
between insanity and crime is essenti-
ally unsolved. No uniform policy for
the treatment of the criminal insane
exists in the United States. In some
States special institutions have been es-
tablished. New York has created a
great hospital at Matteawan for the
confinement of criminals who are found
not guilty on the ground of insanity
and who are technically known as
'court cases, and it has also built at
Dannemora an expensive hospital for
for the care of criminals who become
mentally deranged while undergoing
imprisonment. Some States have spe-
cial wards in connection with their
penitentaries, and to these are trans
ferred prisoners who develop insanity.
In many States insane prisoners are
sent to the institutions for the civil in
sane, but this practice invites two criti-
cisms, the sentimental objection and
the likelihood that these are not ade-
quately equipped for the safe confine-
ment of criminal lunatics, who are Of
ten dangerous and crafty.
Special students of the question are
now agreed that the scientific policy is
to establish independent asylums, spe-
cially designed and equipped, for the
care of the insane criminals. These
should provide facilities for the after
care of criminal victims of mental
alienation who, at large, would become
a menace to the public. 1t is not nee
essary to have two classes of asylums-
one for the persons acquitted on the
ground of their mental state, and the
other for convicted persons who develop
insanity in prison, since the distinction
between criminals who are held to be
irresponsible at the time of the Offense
and criminals who go insane in prison
need not be carried for. Insanity
which is disclosed behind the bars is
frequently the development of mental
disease that antedated the offense.-
