Of Readings Cratic.
(By J. B. sNoD0RAss.)

(By ]. b. SNOOGRA6S.)
The impression generally prevails
that, although Russia Is most gen.
erously favored by nature, little prog
ress is being made in agriculture. This
II erroneous.
As an illustration Of the interest
that IL being manifested along these
lines, and a. indicative Of the pro-
gressive policy that has been adopted
and Is now being pursued, It may be
cited that the Imperial Agricultural
museum, in its endeavor to popular
lie the study of agricultural subjects.
has for the last few years conducted
gratis, at the museum in st. Peters
burg, a series Of systematic readings
on agriculture for the benflt Of every
Inc interested. In addition to this
course. popular lectures are delivered
ana special readings conducted for
men In the lower ranks Of the army.
In the experimental department Of
the museum the taking apart and
putting together Of various machinery
Il demonstrated by trained mechanics.
Agricultural machinery In motion IL
also demonstrated and the use Of ag-
ricultural implements Is explained;
experiments are also made with all
classes Of farm machinery, such al
locomobiles. winnowers, sorters. and
the like. In separate departments
are demonstrated the fertilization Of
the flsh spawn and the development
| Of the chicken in the incubator.
The attendance at these lectures
has been uninterruptedly Increasing
from year to year. For the past foul
years the attendance has been: 6093
17,S0S. S2.442. 60.s46: showing grea1
increase.
The lectures are delivered in the
evening from seven to nine and on Sun
day from two to three p. m. The prac

Foretold In a Dream.

A fatal accident that was foretold in a dream was described yesterday at an inquest at Old Hill, near Birming- ham. on the body of miner named Benjamin Westwood. who was killed at the Fly Colliery.
 His brother William said that on Tuesday night he had dream, and in 1t he saw his brother killed. He add ed: "I did not go to work on Wednes day morning. for my dream made me so i'll that I was unable to do any work since.
 Tn my dream I saw a considerable quantity of coal fall from the roof on to my brother, knock him down and kill him, and from what those who witnessed the accident have told me, my dream was fulfilled. l did not go to my brothers house to warn him, as was too i'll to leave home. Lon don Chronicle.

100000 Beeaars in Gotham.

One hundred thousand beggars, of whom 5000 are professionals. infest New York city, the worlds richest city, at present, according to Charles K. Blatchly, superintendent of the Joint Application Bureau of the Char ity Organization society. This means that vagrancy Is more widespread in New York than ever before, present ing a situation that is viewed with considerable apprehension. James Forbes, secretary of the National As sociation for the Prevention of Men dicancy, estimates that the 5000 pro fessional beggars easily average s a day The 90,000 others probably average Sl a day, so that the metrop- oils pays daily vagrancy toll in money alone of close to s150,000.

Oriqlnator of Mothers Day.

Mrs. Anna NJ Jarvis, the originator of mothers day. Is said to be typi- cal Quakeress of the old school. Her object in having one day in each year set apart for mothers is because of her gratitude to her own mother. The second Sunday In May has been select ed as mothers day. and men and wonl- en throughout the country have pled- ged themselves to observe it. Accord ing to the ideas of Mrs. Jarvis those who have a mother will devote that one day to making her happy. those whose mothers are no longer on this earth will try to add to the happiness of some woman whose children have passed away.

CARICATURES ON THE STAGE
Appeal to PIayWrights to Make Their Characters a Little More
 True to Nature.

At the anniversary festival of the Royal General Theatrical Fund J. L. Griffiths, United States consul gen. eral, spoke a word of appeal for some improvements in the drama. He would like, he said, to see play in which there was really spiritual clergyman, an honest barrister. e straightforward diplomatist and an, American gentleman. MT. Grifith6f views have been generally indorsedi by the press.
 It Is acknowledged that diplomatists are presented on the stage too con- sistently as creatures of preternatural cunning, never as men with human limitations. The popular dramatic type of clergyman, the muscular. isl more tiring still: every curate Is not the physical equal of a prizefghter. An American gentleman would be- very welcome on the English stage The type almost invariably presented, Is like nothing on earth. He Is neither a gentleman nor an American. It isI true he no longer calculates By gosh," or q calculate" but he con- tinues to be a caricature. and bad caricature at that.

cows HORN NURSING BOTTLE
Description of old-Time Baby Raisingi That Will Make Modern
 Mother Shudder.

The original nursing bottle was a cows horn, to the small end of which were sewn two pieces of leather, as d finger of a glove, and the infant drew its nourishment between the stitches. According to Dr. D. Forsyth" fifteenth. century mothers used to nurse their babies for close upon three years, q. duration still customary among thel Japanese and Greenlanders. In thet time of the Stuarts 1t had declined toI between eighteen months and two years. In the time of the Georges it fell to one year and now he reckonedl the average as eight months.
 During the Hanoverian period the practice of feeding babies artlficially became somewhat common. Cows milk. was not then considered just the food for baby deprived of its mother'sI milk. and tho substance called 'pap'' was introduced through the cows, horn. Pap" was a mixture of crust. water and sugar. A baby that thrived on 1t was usually one of rare constitu- tion.
 The nursing bottle with a long rub Der stem succeeded the cows horn, and by degrees the comparatively san- itary feeding bottle of today was iu- troduced.

900 CORPORATIONS
 ARE DELINQUENT
INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR ON TRAIL OF THOSE FAILING
 TO REPORT INCOMES.
About 5000 Corporations in A-kansa. Are Subject to Provisions of
 Income Tax Law.

Little Rock.-Capt. F. w. Tucker. internal revenue collector of this dis trict, is busily engaged in rounding up the corporations in Arkansas that have failed to make returns of their net incomes during the year, to en- able the department to fix the amount of their excise taxes
 There are about 5000 corporations In the state subject to the tax, and of this number about 900 failed to make their returns on or before the first of March, as the law requires. The commissioner of internal revenue has authorized Collector Tucker to accept offers in compromise of the failure of delinquents to make their returns, but not to accept a compro- mise for less than s10
 Corporations subject to the excise tax include all organized in the state except the benevolent ones. There was collected last year in the United States on account of the excise tax about $26,000,0 900, of which Arkansas corporations paid about $55, ,000 Cap tain Tucker estimates that the excise tax collected in Arkansas this year will amount to about S70,000. The tax in all cases must be paid not later than June 30, the end of the govern ment fiscal year In case of failure of corporation to make the proper returns, it is liable to prosecution, in which case the penalty is from $1 ,00, to S10,000.
 Commissioner Tucker has also re- ceived instructions to maKe collec- tions of special taxes where stamps are issued before the end Of the month.
