FARMING FOR SOLDIERS.

Means Adopted in Russia to In
crease the Empires Harvest.
The Russian government is about
to try to increase the harvests of the
empire by two novel means, says a
ST. Petersburg letter to the New York
Sun. They are to teach improved
methods of farming to the soldiers in
the army, which absorbs about $780,
900 young men as conscripts each
year, and to induce the village priests
to persuade the peasants to forego
about third of the ninety-three holy
days in the year which the church rec.
Ognizes, thus giving them more time
to cultivate their farms.
The grating of agricultural teach.

struction is a matter of significance.

dered the saying of Prussia's great

the German empire goes to ruin, and
that, too, without a shot being fred"
Russia's army in its rank and file
IS almost wholly made up Of the sons
of peasants. The young Russian peas
ant is remarkably intelligent and
quickly taught. He has a tougher
physique than any other country can
show. even than his late enemies, the
Japanese. Beyond that he has the
great virtue in a soldier of Hnques-
tioning faith in and obedience to au-
thority.
This we'll disciplined, intelligent
mass has got to be kept away from
the physical and moral deterioration
of town life To this end the depart
ment of agriculture and the war de.
partment have come together. Occa-
sionally experiments with non-com.
missioned officers have been made and
the reports are all favorable to devel-
oping the system.
The program adopted by the two de-
partments has a general and a special
part. General teaching will be given
to all the troops, while the special
course is preserved for volunteers.
The men will be taught regarding
the life of plants, their nourishment
and the fruit they bear, the workings
of the soil and the use of fertilizers
for the districts that are without black
earth, the science of sowing and the
rotation of crops, the preparing of
seed, the cultivation of fodder and OF
grass lands, the management of cat.
tie, the better vegetable gardening and
fruit growing. and even improved bee
management.

what they have been taught and to
keep alive their interests after they
have returned to their homes the de.

cheerfulness which they entailed on re-

1t was in anticipation of these that
the breakfast table had been made bright
with English holly and mistletoe. Miss
Thorne was the last TO take her place
at tn. eaptais's table, and on her ap-

out, and hearty were the voices that
sounded in Merry Christmas ~

alone to one whose black dress signifed q

between her and last Christmas.
But Miss Thorne gave no sign of find

and with deeply flushed cheeks, she was
transformed into a brilliant woman, and
even the bagmen gazed in open admira'

one hand on the back of her chair, against
the pitching of the vessel, while with the
other she tried to meet the outstretche6
hands.

STORIES ABOUT SEALS.
How n Young One Was Made a Pet
and Afterwards Ran Away.

and Afterwards Ran Away.
Some people think that sea- has no
intelligence. but Il writer in Our Little
Ones tells the story Of n seal which
was found by man who was out fish
ing. and that later proved TO be quite
wise in its way. The seal was a young
one and the man found ii fast asleep
upon a dock. and gently lifted it into his
canoe The poor thing cried to get
back into the water. but its captor
wanted it, and so he carried it home,
fed and petted it until it became quite
tame and would go about the house
like little dog. Indeed, after q few
weeks it grew so fond of its new home
that it would not stay away from the
house more than an hour at time.
When il was let out of doors it would
go to the rocks beside the sea-for the
family lived near the seaside
would slide down into the water and
dive about for while, catching fish.
Then it would come back and climb
up on the porch and lie there and cry
to be let in. But one day he went out
to get his dinner in the sea and that
was the last ever seen OF Linn. 1t was
believed that he followed the tide far
out into the ocean, and there met some
of his old playmates. who persuaded
him to stay with them.
Another story is told Of seal that
resented an intrusion ard whipped a
monkey. This was a seal that belonged
to travelling show. After feeding the
monkeys one day the keeper carelessly
left the door of their cage open and in
a minute they were out and swarming
all over the menagerie. After an hours
hard chasing the keepers got the mon
keys together again, all except Jocko.
who would hang by his tail and grin
just out of the keepers reach.
At last they succeeded in cornering
him, and in desperation he leaped to
the cage over the seals. at the top Of
| which was the opening through which
the seals were fed. Finding his pur-
suers closely upon him, he jumped into
the cage and down upon the seals plat
form. The big performing seal resent
Ell the intrusion and proceeded to catch
the monkey, now thoroughly frightened,
between the huge flippers, alternately
slapping and biting aim. The teeth Of
the thoroughly subdued monkey did not
stop chattering for half an hour after
he had been rescued from his plight

HOME TESTING.

A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important question
of coffee, whether or not 1t is really
the hidden cause of physical ails and

make a test of 10 days by leaving on
coffee entirely and using well-made
Postum.

vicious enemy. OF course you can take

SPLIT Ends of Hair.

1t is essential for the proper
growth of the hair that the split ends
should be clipped off with the scissors.
The easiest way to do This Is to sep
arate the hair into strands, going to
work at it Systematically, beginning
at the front on one side and taking
one strand after another around to
the front Of the other side. Twist
each strand tightly and the hairs of
different length will stand out so that
they may be easily clipped This is
better than smuggling the hair by means
Of lighted taperS passed quickly along
the strand, so that the hairs which
stand out will be burned off. Unless
this is done by one who Is an expert
the other hairs will become burned
and the hair will become uneven.
