JAPS HAVE THRIFTY SCHEME

Stamps Accruing to Them as
Spells of War.

Among our good neighbors the Japa-

everything they endeavor to extract
benefit, says a st. Petersburg news
paper Thus, for example, during the
Russo-Japanese war the japanese Sc

worth of Russian postage and revenue
stamps abandoned by us In various
postoffices, branches thereof, and sun
dry other establishments. Now the
enterprisng japanese are trying to
dispose of these stamps among Rus
slams.
For this purpose they have special
agents who offer them to Russian
arrivals for half their value A certain
Caucasian, also of an enterprising turn
Of mind. proceeding to Japan on bust
ness, encountered one of these agents
at Yokohama and tempted by easy
gain bought various stamps valued at
1900 rubles for 1000 rubles only. The
stamps were successfully conveyed to
Vladivostok, but unhappily the agents
of the detective force got wind of
the affair.
One of these agents visited the eau
casian in the guise of a stamp pur-
chaser, and in order not to rouse sus-
picion and for greater verisimilitude
laid some money on the table. When
the merchant" left the room for the
stamps the signal was given to the
ambuscade and no sooner had the
owner returned than the agent met
him revolver in hand and arrested
him on the spot with his wife and
confiscated the stamps. When it APP
peared that the stamps were really
Russian the prisoner was released
after three days detention.
1t is reported that the money will
be returned to him, but that the
stamps will remain for the benefit of
the exchequer. 1t is said that in the
case of big buyer of these stamps
the Japanese offer to land him safely
on Russian territory, with his booty,
in torpedo boat or special steamer,
but whether or not this offer has yet
been accepted is unknown.

-ederai Quarantine Because of
Sheep SCdb in Kentucky.

The disease Of sheep known as
+cab sor scabies has become so
prevalent in Kentucky that the
secretary Of Agriculture has con
>idered it necessary to declare p
quarantine. This action comes
after thorough examination into
conditions. The order for tho
quarantine was effective August
rs. Sheep shall be moved inter-
state from Kentucky only under
government supervision and after
dipping conditions are complied
with. Louisville IS at present the
only place in the State having dip
ping facilities.
For many years sheep scab has
been quite prevalent in the West.
Out as a result Of the combined
efforts Of the Federal and State
authorities much territory has
bee entirely freed, and it is hoped
that within few years the disease
will be entirely stamped out. This
is the first time that the disease
has obtained sufficient foothold
east Of the Mississippi river to re-
qu-re a Federal quarantine.
Information regarding the con-
ditions of the quarantine and de-
tails of treatment and handling
may be obtained free by address
ing request to the Bureau of
Animal Industry, Washington.
