Some time ago it dawned on the Rus

Russian police were not exactly popular
and that perhaps the fault of this was
not entirely with the common people. He,
therefore. decided to reform the cars
police and has now finished the bill
which is to accomplish this miracle. The
bill shows the minister to be man OF
considerable common sense, whose way
of reasoning does him great credit The
bill starts from the basis whic.. must
be taken for all Russian reforms in any
of the public services. namely, thai the
police are inferior because the pay offers
no inducement to first-class men. The
equivalent Of an American chief of city
police. plus number OF other functions
and powers appropriate only to Russia,
gets only $40 a week. while the common
copper has to struggle along on $50
year. The result is that neither the
men nor the higher police officials are
able to live on their pay, nor. in fact, do
they ever attempt 1t, for the cost of their
uniforms and white gloves more than abb
serbs their salary in all self-respecting
towns: but immemorial custom has sane
toned a system of graft which would
make even an American police official
turn green with envy.

this latest product OF his genius as with
any of his great achievements.
To the curious man the first sight of
the ice stove gives feeling cf d.sap-
pointmcnt-
us that all it is'' he thinks. as he looks
upon the simple apparatus. merely an
ice box and fan and couple OF tin
pipes
He forgets that in this very simplicity
lies one of the great advantages of the
stove. There are numherless cooling de-
vices, full of complicated coils and chenli-
calls with hyphenated names that re-

But any one who can dump a cake OF
ice into a box and turn a switch at the
electric light key can operate this cool

This is the method Of its construction,

short pipe connects this hole with the
casing of the fan. thus supplying pure air
from outdoors. Another pipe runs from
this fan casing to large wooden box.
In this box, which is about three feet
broad and high and about four feet long,
there are placed cakes Of ice.
The lid of the box fits with alright
security. From the opposite side Of the
box to that wherein the pipe from the fan

sengerS of giving the conductor tips.
The average fare on German street cars,
including those of the capital, is ten
pfennigs, or two cents; but at moder
ate estimate fully one-third of the pas
seneers hand the conductor another five
pfennigs. the equivalent of a cent. This
is usually done by ladies. though II is
common with men, the idea probably be-
ing that of securing the support of the
conductor In case of trouble, That the
gratuities amount to a considerable sum
in the course OF a year is shown by
trial at Hamburg. arising out of dis
pute between the company and one of its
conductors. in which the court assumed
the gratuitieS to amount to nearly 800
each year.
The court wisely deduced that the in
come from tips must be considerable
from the fact that very low wages were
paid to the conductors in comparison
with the motormen.
A great sensation has been caused in
ST. Petersburg by the news that Nine.
Krezinska. the famous Polish dancer
who formerly appeared at the imperial
theaters. has been arrested at Cracow
on a charge of espionage.
BY her talent and beauty the dancer
won such high favor that she was en-
abled to exercise great influence in the
capital. especially in art circles. 1t was
due to Nine. Krezinska that a Polish
committee was formed to erect n statue
Of Chopin at Warsaw.

of the Russian authorities that secrets
appertaining to the national defense were
