the audience tried to form process
sion on leaving the hall. This was
broken up and a number of other ar
rests were made Altogether more
than thirty women have been arrested.
Interest in all questions affecting wo-
men, but more especially in womans
suffrage, is rapidly growing in Russia.
A number of meetings have been Eeld
during the winter, and crowds OF girl
students and women from all stations
of life attended. Inasmuch as Russian
conditions are especially unfaVorable
to the extension of the franchise To
women, the political issue is generally
treated merely as one phase of the
general question of the enlargement OF

betterment.

refuse to accept this view and demand
that parliament shall deal with the
matter.
The anxiety of the Dual Monarchy
over its northeastern frontier and its
lively suspicion of continued attempts
by Russia to undermine Austrian i'm
Auence among the already disaffected
people of this district are illustrated
again by the trial of four Ruthenians
on the charge of treason which has
begun at Lemberg. The defendants,
all educated men, have already been
in prison nearly two years. They are
a journalist named Bendasiuk, law
student named Koldra. and two ortho-
doX priests, SandoVitZ and Hudyma.
Two officers of the Austrian general
staff are attending the trial, since the
charges against three of the men in
clude that of espionage in favor OF
Russia.
All the defendants are accused of
having carried on an agitation from
1909 to 1912 in favor of the incorpora-
ton of Galeia with Russia. Generally
they are charged with having endeaV-
ored to convince the Ruthenians that
conditions in Russia are better than
in Austria, that the orthodox tGreel0
faith is the faith of their fathers, and
that tho Galician Ruthenians are right
fully a part of the Russian nation and
owe only hatred to Austria.
AS In the recent trial of some 80
Ruthenians at Marmaros SZgiet for
treason the activities of Count Bob
rinsky the Russian agitator, will play
an important part. Bendasiuk particu-
larly is charged with having been in
close relations with Bobrinsky since
the latter's visit to Galicia in 1909.
Bendasiuk was Galician correspondent
for the Novoe Vremya of st. Peters
burg. 1t is asserted that he spread
broadcast Russian books and pam
phlets, that through his agency a
number of teachers of the Russian lam
guage were appointed in Ruthenian
educational institutions, and that he
had funds at his disposal for subsidiz-
ing students. Koldra is charged with

Washington, d. c., April 5.-The land
and the farming of New England have
often been criticized. There are two
chief classes of critics. These are
composed of people who have known
the farming of these states 20 years
ago. and of those who are seeing II
today in superficial manner.
For a generation or two past the
changes in farming the country over,
had left the farming of New England
in depressed condition. according TO
a specialist of the department OF agrl-
culture. The reaction of the last de-
cade is now remedying this depression.
1t was true that New England land
could not produce some of the staple
crops in competition with the land of
the Central states. especially when
that land was low priced. The present
change is due to the large and grow
ing consuming population of New Eng
land and the difficulty in importing
some of the perishable or bulky farm
products from other states.
Observation from railway trains Of
ten results in statements which exag-
gerate the amount of rough land in
New England. AS a rule some of the
poorest land lies in sight of the rail-
ways. while the rest of this region is
by no means all of the same character.
The tilable land is much more extern
sivo than is often understood, and the
non-tillable is a valuable asset as
grazing or woodland
The development of profitable farm
ing on New England land has not yet
gone so far but that there are now
many sections where the land is really
cheap. considering its productive ca
pacity. To make the production of
crops nay good interest on the value
of the land. 1t must, of course, be so
chosen as TO avoid the speculative
values caused by suburban or summer
residences or in few cases by over
estimated farming values. The very
cheap land is often to be avoided also,
because ii is not fitted for farming and
is at che moment devoid of forest COW
eriug. Some Of the cheap farms are
net large enough in acreage, or pro-
duce too little income per acre. to keep
a farmer and his family, Such farms,
however, may form desirable parts OF
a larger farm business. Most of the
real farming is done on land valued
at from $40 to 800 per acre and the
greater part of it is perhaps on the
land worth from s25 to $50 per acre,
the whole farm taken together.
The distinctive features of New
England farming are due to the fact
that the region as whole is particu-
larly adapted to the growth of grass
and trees. So, in general, the kinds
of farming which depend on the grass
crop. predominate. These kinds of
farming are profitably supplemented
by orcharding. and derive great help
from the presence of woodland The
last furnishes winter employment Tor
many farmers and their teams.

Cleanliness Kills Flies.

TT OW do flies live through the win
ia ter? A few lazy, logy flies can
be found half dead, but still
living, around chimneys and warm
places in the house or stable. They
will come to life just as soon as the
boys begin playing marbles.
If no garbage or filth were to be
found the female flies would die and
the stock might be lost.
We must keep things clean to keep
flies from breeding. When they have
come we can catch them with fly pa
per or fly traps or kill them with ny
poison. We can keep them out or the
house by keeping the windows and
doors screened.
They crawl into the sugar the milk
and the bread They have just been
crawling into other places. They get
typhoid germs and give you typhoid.
They get consumption and spread 1t.

The EASIEST WAY
TO END DANDnUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp

Stop Faiiing 7air ana itcnin9 SSdiP'
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolveI and entirely destroy,
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair
looking rich, do by all means get rid
of dandruff, for nothing destroys the
hair so quickly. 1t not only starves
the hair and makes 1t fall out. but 1t
makes 1t stringy, straggly. dull. dry,
brittle and lifeless, and everybody no.
tees it. You can get liquid arVon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive,
and four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.-Adv.

Nine. Tyrkova points to the suifra-
gette movement in England as an IL
lustration of the straits to which the
best women were driven in hlshiy
civilized society when the conception
of the essential inferiority of women
was embodied in an intricate network
of usage and custom.
The spirit of discipline in the Rus
sian army is Well nigh ideal II 1t Is
generally that exhibited by a private
soldier of an artillery regiment at MINI
NOygorod. A sergeant OF the man
regiment, who had charge of the DIS
position of sentries, committed suicide.
When the time to change sentrles
came. the sentry, although INFORMED
of the sergeant's suicide, refused to
leave his post. He declared that under
military rules only the sergeant or the
emperor Nicholas could relieve him or
his most. and as the sergeant was
dead. he was bound to remain at his
most until the Emperor ordered him to
leave it
The colonel of the regiment accord
ingly sent an urgent telegram to the
Emperor. who Immediately wired back
an order to the sentry to leave ms
most. The soldier insisted on reading
the telegram himself by the light OF a
pocket electric lamp before he consent
ed to return to barracks.

will also be in communication with
the big Poulsen station at Lyngpy, IN
Denmark. The Canadian and irish
stations will maintain communication
over n distance of two thousand miles.
These stations expect to handle from
100 To $50 words a minute across the
Atlantic and under the stress the
inventor declares that 300 words
minute is not beyond their capacity.
In the fight for a share of the wire
less traffic across the Atlantic the
Poulsen system will reduce the price
to five cents a word.
In America the Poulsen system is
in use between San Francisco ana
