for eight years in various cities Of the
United States She caught on to
American mannerisms, and speaks
English in perfect accent.
At the outbreak of the IrnBso-Jap-
anese war she was sent to Japan. She
travelled with a conducted party OF
tourists, and when her destination
was reached she decided to lengthen
her stay in Japan. She adopted Jap
anese customs and costumes. So at
tractive and charming was she that
the Japanese took her straight to
their hearts, little dreaming that she
was a Russian and a spy.
She mingled with the families Of
Japanese officials. She learned their
tongue so rapidly that within a few
months she spoke volubly, and under.
stood almost any conversation. A Jap
anese statesman fell victim to her
charms, and she led him to believe
that she might marry him, but she
put him off from time to time, and in
the interim the Russian government
was receiving some very important in
formation Nine. Korolerviez re-
mained in Japan throughout the war,
and the people do not suspect to this
day that she was other than a pretty
American woman. The Japanese lover
was thrown out like an old glove
when 1t was time for her to be sent to
another land.
Nine Midgi-Hume is Russian
woman well known in London society.
She has entree to exclusive houses,
but none of her hostesses suspects
that she is entertaining one of the
most accomplished spies of Russia.
She is elegant and cultured in her
manner, but she has lived in squalid
settlements in various places, and
once travelled on a very dangerous
to Mukden in mans attire. She
has gone hungry and cold and has
been thrown among the toughest and
most uncouth people. King Edward
knew her well, and was often seen
chatting with her, but he did not know
that she was in the secret service Of
the Russian government.

she went to Paris and soon afterward
entered the government service. She
spends her time largely at the great
watering places of Europe. King Ed
ward fell under her spell at Biarritz,
and had not his watchful attendants
drawn him away, there is no telling
what she might have wrung from him.
She is regarded by her government as
a most valuable asset.
Two widely different types OF the
Russian women spies are the cousins
Tatiana and Pavlova Pozharsky. They
look like sweet, fresh country maid
ems, and they are ready to give\their
lives in the service Of the czar.
They do their work for the
government within the confines
Of the Russian empire. They go
to Finland, Poland, to Siberia and
Manchuria. These women are re-
markably fearless and self-effacing;
they have lived in huts in frozen ST.
IBERIA and endured great privations
and discomforts to perform the duties
imposed upon them. They are in
danger of their lives every hour, for
to watch the revolutionists is their
special duty, and If they were sus-
pected they would be killed at once
The cousins are we'll educated, and,
like their sister spies, they have had
many love affairs; in fact, 1t is usu-
ally upon love affair that these wom-
en- depend to obtain the best of their

AN OPIUM BONFIRE IN CHINA
Paraphernalla confiSeated From
Smokers by Authorities 10 Burned
Once Every Month.

A quantity OF opium pipes. lamps
and paraphernalia for the preparing
of the drug, to the total value OF more
than 10000 taels. was publicly burned
In the presence OF Chinese officials
and a squad OF soldiers on the empty
space OF ground behind the British
concession In Hakow.
The goods represented the results
OF a months raiding In and about the
city. The opium, which was the ma
tive product, and the other articles
were piled in heap opposite the
Ningpo club and were thoroughly
soaked in kerosene and packed round
about with firewood.
This was set fire TO, kerosene being
poured on the bonfire when the flames
showed signs OF dying down, Not
a clay vial was left The burning Is
carried out once a month, this being
the second time, and a different place
is selected for each fire. The opium
and utensils were wholly conhscated
from smokers. The smokers were
fined or imprisoned.

Substitute for Grass.

An interesting experiment in horti-
culture was made some time back at
the garden laid out at the site of the
King Edward VII memorial statute in
Delhi, India. In order to ensure
green surface at the time of the stone
laying ceremony, meth" (trigonella)
seed was sown when the grass was
planted. The meth" sprang up In
about month and maintained a green
surface throughout the cold weather,
which could be smoothly mown and
did not interfere with the growth Of
The grass. The ground was allowed to
get dry at the beginning of the hot
weather, and within a week the
meth" had died out, leaving good
lawns in It's place. The "methi," be-
longing to the order Of 'Leguminosae,"
acts as a manure and leaves the soil
richer in available nitrogenous mat
Ter.

Affection Causes Dogs Death.

Natural affection on the part OF a
dog was lnstanced in a remarkable
manner at Beaumont, in the province
Of Soane-et-Loire. France, a few days
ago. One OF the inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest 10 gather
firewood, taking with him the dog,
which he left to guard his coat and
basket of food while he wandered
about gathering wood. In his absence
the dog gave birth to three puppies,
and the wood gatherer, when he start
ed home, forgot to place the puppies
in the cart with their mother. During
the night the dog jumped over a fence
and ran the whole distance, some ten
miles, to the spot where the puppies
had been left, and brought one back
in her mouth. Then she made two
more journeys In order to bring back
the other two. Altogether she Gov
cred a distance of about sixty miles
in the night. The next morning her
master found her dead in the yard
by the side of her puppies, which were
alive and well.

St. Nltus a Turkey rrotter7

If Gerald du Maurier is to be be-
lieved, the "one-step," the turkey
trot" and the other ragtime dances
are only variations of the Oldest dance
in the world, that named after st.
Vitus. We do not care to indorse this
assertion offhand, but it is quite posi-
BILE that the future historian will re-
gard the contemporary mania for rag
time from much the same standpoint
as we look on the Tarantism or danc-
ing mania of the middle ages.

London.-Witham is a little town OF
Essex, thirty-nine miles northeast from
London, which is to celebrate its
millenary this year. II has a popula-
tion Of about $500 and is situated on
the River Brain, also known as the
Guith. a form indicating the origin OF
the name Of the town. In the days
Of the ancient Britons 1t is said the
place was called Guith-avon.
In that part Of the town called Chip

be the remains OF fortlhcations or

Square Foot and Foot Square.

There is no difference in area BE-
tween one square foot and one foot
square, though there may be a differ
ense in the shape and dimensions OF
the surfaces. For instance. one square
foot may be inclosed by a circular
Lac, a hexagon, a triangle or a rec
tangle. One foot square is an area
OF fixed form. the four sides being
equal and the four angles all right
angles.

Duty as a Reformer.

There is no such reformer as an ex-
acting duty. Note the asceticism Of
athletes and scouts. The ravages OF
drink are abated as machinery, with
its demand for a clear brain and
steady nerves, is multiplied on every
hand. Each new stress OF business
and professional rivalry puts a fresh
premium on sobriety and wise re-
straint.

DOLL SoLACED DYING MOTHER
Kansas Woman Took Substitute for
Her Dead Baby Down to
the Grave.

Trinidad, Colo.-It was only doll
a big, golden-haired, "shut-eye" doll;
but to the fever-racked mother who
tossed on tear-stained pillows in the
county hospital, 1t took the place Of
another little doll in a Kansas ceme-
terry.
She cared for it as she had cared
for the baby which death had taken
from her. And as death approached
she hugged the waxen image to her
breast and begged that 1t share her
grave.
She was penniless, county charge;
she looked forward only to tiny plot
In the potters field. But her pleas
touched the doctors who attended her
and a little group of hospital attend
ants afterward stood beside a new
made grave in the Catholic cemetery
where lay the woman and doll.
The woman was Mrs. Florence STAN
eel of Great Bend, Kan. She came to
Trinidad two months ago, Just a
month after her three-year-old girl
died. She had quarreled with her hus-
band, she said, and left her home.
One day she saw the big doll In q
store window. 1t was just the size
Of her dead baby. She bought it, and
from a trunk took the little clothes
her own baby had worn. With them
she dressed the doll Around its neck
she placed a necklace of beads and
earrings adorned its waxen ears. It
was only doll, but when her consti-
tuition broke down and peritonitis set
in. she took It with her to the hospital
to remind her always Of her own little
one. And thus 1t lay beside her body
IN the morgue; and thus 1t was buried
by her side.

All Europe will forget about the Bal
