RUSSIAN HORRORS.

From time to time there is consid-
cradle talk about the cruelty and in
human treatment which is accorded to
the lower classes of Russians by those
in official power in their country.
Many of the horrors perpetrated
against the lowly of that benighted
land are almost unbelievable. It does
not seem possible that they could be
committed in any country which is
looked upon as being civilized.
An instance has just come to light,
however, which would seem to indi-
cate that the Russian peasants are
just as bloodthirsty and as cruel a lot
as are their official superiors. This is
not with regard to their retaIiations
against the servants of the car who
have crushed them down for they
might well be pardoned for fighting
ruthless murders and pillage with as
sassinations and other terrible acts.
But it relates of their dealings one
with the other. ss
A woman was recently arrested
near st. Petersburg on a charge of
having committed at least three hun
dred murders. During the last thirty
years it appears that she has made a
III dDlASC Va tioO1l6 wives or
their husbands by poison. She charged
small fee, and is alleged to have ex-
ecuted her commission with much dis
patch. One of her clients, tormented
by remorse, has now renowned her.
This unusual criminal has confessed
to having committed the murders, but
protests she did excellent work in free
ing unhappy wives from their tyrant
husbands. She says she never MUIR
dered women.
Of this murderess not much is to be

WILLOW CULTURE.

The government of the United
States is becoming paternal in various
ways of the right Sort chiefly through
the well directed activities of the vari-
GUS bureaus of the federal department
of agriculture. Government funds are
being judiciously used by this great
governmental department to help the
people of the land to help themselves.
And that's the kind of paternalism
which should be welcomed by all.
No other bureau of the agricultural
department is more jealous in work
ing in this way than is that of the
forestry service. 1t is using its ener-
giles in manifold ways, and one of the
latest is an effort to make more profit
able the basket making industry in
this country through cheapening of
the necessary raw material. The for
estry service is now preparing to dis
tribute 100000 basket willow cuttings
from it's experimental farm at Airing
ton, Va. The government has been
conducting experiments with several
grades of willow to determine the
best stock and it's value under differ
ent soil and climate conditions. with
the idea of promoting the cultivation
of willows.
Most of the willow used in this
country in the manufacture of baskets
is imported from Europe at a high
price, but it has been proved that the
best grades can be profitably raised in
| this country Farmers are applying
| their attention more and more to its
culture and it is reasonable to expect
| that within a fair period of time
enough willow will be grown here to
supply the demands of the basket in
dustry. AS it can be grown and sold
at a good profit for a much smaller
price than the imported willow now
! demands it will mean the eventual
cheapening of baskets and that will
| helm some.
