COUNTRY DRIVE IN RUSSIA.
Speed Proportionate to Price Paid
Through Village" Roads.

The Russian popular idea Of driving
| horses is to fog them along mile after
| mile without a moments breathing
| space. The speed is proportionate
within limits, to the price paid, but
the horses are never at any speed al
lowed to slacken.
The high road to Ruza runs in a
series of ups and downs like an end
less "switchback," yet the "jamshik"
(driver) never once allowed his horses
to rush the last of a declivity to carry
them up the next rise, but kept the
pace steady up hill or down, regular
rate of one verst in five minutes. We
insisted several times on giving the
poor brutes few yards at walk, but
at last had to acquiesce in the custom
of the country, with the result that at
Ruza it seemed better to take an.
other team for the remaining four
miles across country.
The way now lay over what are
called through village roads. These
are simply tract of mother earth

sides by rough ditch, and only other.

out a place two feet deep just about
the size of your sash. Side it up from
the bottom of the hole with any old
boards to keep the moles and mice
out of the manure and prevent their

young plants. Make the frame above
the ground tight so as to hold the
heat and keep out the cold air. Give
the sash plenty of slant to run off the
water.
About the tenth of March fill the
bed full of fermenting stable manure
and pack it down. Put in about four
inches of garden soil, level it down,
put the sash on and let it alone for
three or four days. AS soon as the
weed seed comes up in the bed stir
the soil about an inch deep and plant
your seed of tomatoes, pepper, both
kinds, hot and mangle, cabbage, caul-
flower. eggplant and beets.

TO MAKE BORDEAUX.
Prof. Franklin Sherman, North Caro-.
lima, Explains the Process.

With all it's variations, bordeaux is
an excellent mixture. This one is all
right: Bluestone four pounds. stone
lime four pounds, water so gal
Ions. Place the buestone in a
piece of coarse cloth sack, or, better,
In small basket, and hang it in a
tub or key containing four to eight
gallons water, so that the bluestone
shall be just under the surface. Do
this the evening before it is desired
to spray, and it will be dissolved by
morning. After it is dissolved add wa
ter to make 25 gallons of this blue
stone solution. This must be kept in
wooden receptacles. Place the lime
in a tub or key and Stake slowly with
water, so that the action shall be
complete. When the shaking is con-
pleted add water to make rs gallons.
If the bluestone solution and the
lime solution are kept separate, they
may be kept throughout the season.
When it is desired to spray take equal
quantities of the two solutions and
pour them together at the same time
fine wire netting or screen, to remove
all sediment which might clog the
nozzle. If your pump tank holds just
so gallons and you have made up
the mixture by the above formula,
you will use all of both the bluestone
and lime solution to fill the tank.
When the two solutions are noured
together and stirred it will give a
handsome, bright, light blue solution,
which is not transparent, but light
and flocculent, because of the lime
in it.
This bordeaux is now to be poisoned
to kill the insects, especially the
cooling moth. If the arsenate of lead
in paste form is used it may be dis.
solved by stirring it in a pail of the
bordeaux and then pouring it into the
tank, at the rate of three pounds to
% gallons bordeaux. If the paste is
put in the barrel, 1t will sink to the
bottom and not dissolve readily, but
by stirring in a pail of the mixture
it is easily dissolved, and may then
be poured into the tank If parts
green is used, mix it first with lit.
tie water to form a thin paste, and
then stir it into the bordeaux at the
rate of from five to eight ounces to
so gallons.

him to come back, but he said: "Neve,

and gave him a cut with the whiD

Well really, that lion ought to have
turned and put his tail between his
legs and galloped for the woods, but
Pa had made mistake in his lion, for
the animal went up to Pa and took a
mouthful of his pants, and shook him
like a dog would shake a rat, and
Pa yelled for them to take away their
lion if they didn't want the animal
injured.
The animal rolled Pa over on the
ground in the dust, chewed his silk
hat, and Pa got loose and made a rush
for the auto and crawled under it to
fix something, and just then the cow
boy came along on pony and threw
his lariat over the lions head and
pulled him away across the track, and
Pa came out from under the machine
and took a big monkey wrench and
started again for the lion, bare head

mouth after he saw that the lion was
choked nearly to death, and then
Pa mauled the apparently dead lion
until the cowboy dismounted from the
pony and got his lariat rope back.
Pa gave the lion couple of kicks,
and got back into the auto, and the

The Michigan mans ranch in darkest
Africa, where he has brought civiliza-

1t is good sometimes to see our
selves as others see us, and not hav-
ing looked into mirror for half a
year, we found that we were about the
most disreputable looking tourists
that ever came in sight of beds, with
linen sheets on, and pillows.
l noticed that the family of the
Michigan man and the servants looked
at us with suspicion, and turned up
their noses at us, but / never realized
what it was all about until they
showed us to our rooms that night,

time, and knew that they looked like
tramps, but l thought l was all right
The Michigan man showed us to our
rooms, after Pa and the cowboy had
drank few quarts of highballs, and
they were going to go to bed with
their clothes on, but l knew they
would ruin the beds if they did. so
insisted that we all get in the bath
tubs and take our seni-annual bath,
and as the man left us he said we
could find clothes to put on in the
morning, in a closet, and to leave our
clothes out in the hall and he would
have a servant take them away with
the tOngs and burn them in the fur
mace.
That sobered Pa and the cowboy a
little and they decided to try the
baths.
Well, we didn't do thing to the
running water, and before we retired
we had washed ourselves so clean,
with real soap, the first we had seen
since we left Germany, that Pa and
the cowboy had to be introduced to
each other, and I was so clean that I
didn't know myself, and we put on pa
jamas that we found in the room,
and crawled into the clean beds and
slept till morning after putting all our
clothes out of the room, to purify
the air.
In the morning we dressed up in the
clothes the Michigan man told us we
would find in the closet, and such a
transformation was never seen be-
fore.
Pa found a pair of gray pants and
frock coat and silk hat, and when
he was dressed and had on a white
shirt he looked like a senator from
South Carolina.
The cowboy found golf suit, with
short pants, long socks, and puttee leg
gins, and Tam O. Shanter cap, and
he looked like an escaped Scotchman,

THEY WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE
 JUNE 5.
They Offset the TranscontinentaI
 Raise of January.

Washington, April 26.-An important series of rates was filed with the in terstate commerce commission affect ing westbound traffic to Pacific coast terminals. The rates which are to be- come effective June make an average reduction of 10 cents per 100 pounds on all commodity tariffs from the At Iantic seaboard to the Pacific coast.
 On January the transcontinental railroads put into effect rates to the Pacific coast to which the western shippers strenuously objected. It was evident that complaints were to be be made to the interstate commerce commission unless some equable ad- justment of the question could be reached.
 Conferences were held in February at Chicago between representatives of the shippers and the railroads at which tentative agreement was reached. The result of that agreement is en- bodied in the tariffs just filed. No re- duction has been made in the east bound traffic from the Pacific coast but it is expected that tariffs soon to be filed will make corresponding re- duction on such traffic.

On Matters Thrown Open by the Defense.-Against His Confession His Former Le- gal Answer Has Been Admitted In Evidence.

San Francisco, April 26.-With James L. Gallagher as a witness, and F. J. Heney conducting the ex- animation, the trial of Patrick Call houn, president of the United rail- roads, proceeded today to a point where regular attendants began to speculate as to the probable length of Gallagher's stay upon the witness stand.
 When the session ended, Gallagher had reviewed the incidents leading up to the indictment of the former board of supervisors, and Heney was engaged in a broad analysis of Gal lagher's testimony given on cross examination where the original limits set by the prosecution were enlarged through the interrogations of A. A. Moore, of the defense.
 Heney reverted to Gallagher's mo- tive in voting for the trolley permit, and notwithstanding objections from the defense succeeded in getting be- fore the jury Gallagher's opinion of all the newspaper editorials. and other forms of public comment relating to the proposed permit.
 A featuret of the day was Judge Lawlor's admission of the legal answer made previous to the present prose- cutions, wherein Gallagher had made oath to his innocence of wrongdoing, imputed to him by the district attor- news office

Threaten 10000 Armenians 5esiesed
 in Dourtyal.

Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey, April 26.-Dourtyal refugees bring alarming accounts of the situation there. They affirm that 10000 Armenians are be- leaguered by 5O,OOO Moslems. The besieged are half starved and con- ditions within the walls of the city are pitifu.
 Foreign consuls estimate that about 5000 townspeople and refugees at Dourtyal, with perhaps as many more Turks threatening them from the out side. No Americans are there.
 The commanders of British and other warships at this port have had under consideration the landing of a force to relieve the besieged town. which is within one days march of Alexandretta, but they finally decided that this was wholly impracticable, as they had no right to interfere in a purely internal af- fair, and the government declined to permit the landing of an armed force.
 If relieving forces were sent out in opposition to the governors wishes it was recognized that such an eX- petition would be equivalent to a declaration of war, and in addition
