A Difficult Job.

A man was brought before the court
upon the complaint of his wife. While

May Affect All Russia.

This startling regenration of the
peasantry is, in the opinion of the
Russian authorities, likely to have
an Important effect on the social and
economic conditions of all Russia.
A change in the large cities is also
noticeable. Liquor is still sold in
first-class cafes, but these are prac-
ticaiiy empty. The Nevsky Prospect,
once famous for its gay midnight
life, is now quiet, without sign of
revelry.

Russia Puts Ban on .Boozen

Petrograd, Russia, Sept. 3O.-The
Minister of Finance, p. Bark. today
received an imperial order to the
effect that the prohibition of the
sale of vodka shall be continued in
definitely after the end of war.
This order is based on the ire
mendously improved condition of the
country since the Emepror issued the
edict prohibiting traffic in this liquor.
Improvement of Peasants.
Visitors arrived from Southern
Russia say there is such change i'm
that region that the country is hardly
recognizable. Peasants who, before
the war, had fallen into hopeless in
dolence and depravity, already have
emerged into self respecting citizens.
The effect on character already is
visible, in neatly brushed clothes. in
stead of former ragged and slovenly
attire. Huts which formerly were
dilapidated and allowed to go without
repairs now are kept in first class
condition.
The towns have become more or
DERBY, and the peasants indulge in
wholesome amusements. These people
now save 55 per cent of their earn
ings, which formerly was spent for
vodka, and they have increased their
earning capacity through sobriety.
This extra money now is devoted
to the necessities and comforts of
life.

Schools to Have Fine Set of Maps.
The Putnam town school commit

eight relief maps that are the finest
ever shown in this section. There is a
map of each continent and a map of

ranges and elevations ars shown in re-

being based on government surveys.
The manner in which mountain ranges
and elevations are shown in relief
makes the work of teaching relative to
air currents, ocean currents and their
effects on climate very simple mat
ter. for pupil can readily see what is
intended to teach with far greater ease
than is the case when fiat maps are

OLD TIME MILL HOURS.
Operatives Started in at 4.3o a. M,
Worked Till 7 p. m. and Earned 81
Per Week.

The putting in force of the 80 hour
per week schedule of working hours
IN the mills here proves boon to the
workers and members Of their families
in a particular way and that is that
their sleeping time is now extended by
about half an hour each morning, as
the operatives are not called upon to
be at work until o'clock. In discuss
ing this feature of shorter hours re-
tired oVerseer in town recalls the
schedule under which he worked in
New England cotton mills as boy.
He was in the mill and started on his
daily tour of duty at 4.30 a. M, worked
until a. m. and then had half an hour
to go out and get breakfast.
Returning at 7.30, he worked until
noon. when there was a 80 minutes re-
cess for dinner. At 1880 he was again
back at work and concluded his rest
full day at 100 D. m. This working
arrangement also went for Saturdays,
as the weekly half-holiday was not
heard of at that time. For this brief
attention to his occupation he re-
ceived the princely salary" Of 81 a
week This was before the Civil war.
After that great struggle in which
the then young man served with honor
and was thrice wounded. he returned
to the mills and eventually worked up
to be head of a department. His later
years in mill work were spent in Dan
ielson and by the time he retired there
had been many changes to make more
satisfactory the occupations Of mill
workers. and the privilege of sleeping
until $50 a. m. was not the least of
them
