Hundreds OF thousands of Russians
are going to Siberia. But not after
the old style. when they were per-
sonally conducted by military guards
and distributed as convicts among the
mines and prisons. Siberia has vast
agricultural and other possibilities.
and the government in this instance
at least is wise enough to encourage
the utilization of such resources. 1t
is announced from Russia that the mi
grafton to Siberia average about half
a million persons yearly. This move
ment is encouraged by the offer from
the government of cheap railroad
rates and an allotment Of forty-one
and half acres of land to each adult
who makes home in that part of the
empire.

HEALTH AND LONG LIFE.

"All men think all men mortal but

man more than to read the statements
of persons who have attained great
ages, and their version of the means
which enabled them to prolong their
lives. We have many of these

LAST FROM TOLsTO|
Says War Against Capital Pun
ishment Needs No Forcing.
Final Article Entitled EFFECTIVE
Means" and Was Written by the
Count In Optina Monastery,
November II.

st. Petersburg.-From vladimir
Tschertkoff. literary agent of Count
Tolstoi. the last article written by
Tolstoi has been received. 1t is en-
titled Effective Means" and was
written by Tolstoi in the Optina
monastery, November II, shortly aft
er he began his selfimposed exile
from home. The article was given
out by M. Tschertkoff at the express
wish of Count Tolstoy for dissemina-
ton to mankind. 1t says:
Il am naturally anxious to do all I
can against evil, which tortures the
best spirits of our time.
Il think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing; there is no need for an
expression of indignation against its
immortality, cruelty and absurdity-
every sincere thinking person, every
body knowing from youth the sixth
commandment, needs no explanation
of its absurdity and immortality;
there Is no need for descriptions of

only affect hangmen. SO men will
more unwillingly become execution
ers and governments will be obliged
to compensate them more dearly for
their service.
Therefore, think that neither the
expression of indignation against the
murder of our fellowmen nor the sug-
gestion of it's horror is mainly need
ed. but something totally different.
"As Kantwell says, there are delu-
sions which cannot be disproved and
we must communicate to the deluded
mind the knowledge which will en-
tighten and then the delusions will
Danish by themselves.
What knowledge need we commu-
nicate to the deluded human mind re-
garding the indispensableness, useful
ness or justice of capital punishment
in order that said decisions may de-
stroy itself?

Brand New Enterprise Has Developed

London.-Furs are SO very much
the rage in London this season that a
brand new enterprise has been start

NUTS at moderate price TO- those
whose means do not admit Of their
buying what they wish outright. For

1T Is not an even training of all
the muscles that the women are get

some one set which will. in time,
make them look more or less de-
formed.
Athletic work Is making women

lines find it difficult to secure a

Doctor Sargent's views, which
brought out Mr.. Alexander's are to
the effect that the feminine type is
fast becoming masculine. The
change, Doctor Sargent said. has come
in the last twenty years. Women in
the savage state, he added. were SO
like men in form that it was well-nigh
impossible to tell them apart. Then.
as civilization progressed, their espe-
cial feminine characteristics devel-
oped. Now the tendency is back to
the savage type.
