London, Wednesday, Sept Id

source the following facts about the
reforms that occupy til, attention OF
the Liberal and Democratic Parties
in Russia at the present moment. |

ings-reforms demanded during the
war and reforms demanded ultimate
IL.
The reforms demanded daring war
are: d.

three divisions 60 h united within
ethnographical limits under one Par

AItnynt;Opc In ovnnrt
rangements OF wheat in South Russia
and generally in rates of exchange
after the ultimate opening OF the Oar
daneIles and the probable possession
Of Constantinople.
In addition to the above it is urged
that the following concessions be
granted after the war, or otherwise
a. soon as practicable:
l. Appointment Of a new legisla.
tive body elected by universal male
suffrage
>. Autonomy OF Lithuania, Siberia
and Caucasus
5. Reform of the schools, autono-
my of the universities, and the cs
adjustment OF secular elementary
schools.

ton of the powers of the Synod and
the restitution of the Patriarch.
5. Repeal OF the Statute of the
ziemstvos of 1880 and reform Of mu-

are exercised in defiance of the Minis
ter of the Interior.
Z. Restriction of the powers of the
Upper House-the Council of the
EmpiIc.

and OF Assembly--in a word, recogni-
ton Of the essential rights conceded
in tho manifestos Of October, 1895,
and April, 1915.
10. Agrarian reforms.
il. The greatest possible encour-
agement of industries,
IL. Conclusion of new CONNER
cial treaty with Germany with terms
designed to protect Russian indus
try; failing this the declaration of a

Petrograd, Sept. 14.-Premicr
Goremykin has returned from his
visit to the headquarters of Emperor
Nicholas, whittier he went to discuss
with the Emperor the program of re-
form legislation put forward by the
new Liberal majority in the Duma.
The viewpoint of the Government is
that the presentation of such a broad
scheme is untimely.
Discussion of changes in the Minis
try has been revived.

TO FORETELL FUTURE
USE or WHITE or EGG Is RECON-
MENpED.
Those Who Are Tired of the Familiar
Methods of Cards and Tea Grounds
Might Find Some Amusement
in the Practice.

This is one of the least known OF
all methods of foreteIIing the future,
according to the ancient. secret wis
dom of prophetic insight. Yet it Is
one of the most interesting, and easy
TO perform-though, of course, like all
methods of the kind, some skill and
practice are necessary in order to in
terpret quickly and speedily the SYM
bohc interpretations of the signs pre-
scented, writes Prof. Sothnos Lalillier
in the New York American.
In order to practice this part of ca.
balistic Interpretation, you must pro-
cure a fresh egg-as new-laid as pos.
sible-and carefully separate the white
of the egg from the yolk. Nearly fill
tumbler with cold water and drop
the white of the egg into it, a drop.at a
time. Now place this glass carefully
aside for "a hours, being sure to cover
the glass carefully, and that the water
does not become warmed by proximity
to radiator. etc.
When you again look at the glass,
you will find that your white of egg
has CONCEALED iL.o various odd-shaped
dgures-circles, squares, animals,
trees, crosses, etc.-which are to be
interpreted according to the formula
that follows.
Long, wavy lines denote losses and
troubles; straight lines, on the con-
trary, denoting peace, long life, pros.
perity and happiness.
Squares denote peace and happi-
ness; ring, marriage. If letter can
be discovered near the ring this will
be the first letter of the name of the
person you are to marry. If clouds
are about the ring. think long and care
fully before accepting this person,
even if he offers marriage.
If a leaf is seen. speedy good fortune
will come your way from some unex-
pected source. If an anchor is seen,
fidelity in love is indicated. If a dog
Is seen, this is good sign, If near the
top of the glass, denoting faithful
friends; if near the middle, doubtful
ones; and if near the bottom, enemies
to be avoided.
A lily or similar flower foretells hap
piness, IL near the top of the glass:
disappointment if near the bottom. II
number of small dots or spots are
present, money is coming your way,
unless clouds surround them, in which
case you will receive bad tidings and
notice Of losses. A heart denotes a
love letter which you will shortly re-
ceive. The sun, moon or stars denote
happiness and success.

A Quaint Idea.

A new idea was introduced in the
display of the wedding gifts at a re-
cent New York wedding-the repro.
duction, namely, In exquisite minia-
ture, Of the gifts that were too huge
to be displayed on the black oak tables
In the hail.
Thus one Of the gifts was an old
English manor house. Reproduced TO
the last detail IN a two-foot model,
the gray manor house Of the sixteenth
century struck, amongst the pearls
and chiseled silver, an exceedingly
picturesque note.
Another gift was a very low gray
torpedo touring car of sixty horse
power, The model, perfect one, set
on gold-mounted dressing case, made
all the guests's mouths water
The brides brothers gift was rid
ing horse, an Irish hunter. The model
was done In clay by girl sculptor
; There were several other gifts also
reproduced In miniature. among them
motor boat and a biplane.

The Freaks Must Go.

The secretary of the Minnesota
state fair is authority for the state
ment that the freak" show and the
sensational side show will not have
place in the state fairs of 1915. This
form of entertainment is to be re-
placed by educational exhibitions, the
step having been decided on by the
American Association of Fairs and
Expositions in convention at Chicago.
1t will be- great relief if the
minds of children are not to be alb
normally stimulated by these morbid,
not to say revolving, sights. The idea
that the poor monstrosities of nature
should be exploited by means Of their
deformities is repulsive and produc-
tive of no good. The practice of al
lowing takers to grow fat off pro-
ceeds from showing these unfor-
Inmates Is a species of barbarism.
The atmosphere that pervades state
fairs Is as wholesome as that which
surrounds any of our national institu-
lions, and it has always been a wrong
to vitiate it by the clinical features of
a freak show.-Minneapolis Journal.

SQUIRE KNEW THE VINTAGE
Youngsters Thought They Could Fool
Connoisseur, But the Laugh
Was Not Theirs.

Mayor John P. Grace of Charleston
said at a dinner:
Charleston has undeniably the
most aristocratic and old-world aspect
Of all the cities in America. An Eng
lish visitor once told me that In
Charleston, for the first time in his
life, he saw portrait by Sir Joshua
Reynolds hanging in the drawing
room for which it had been painted.
Charleston has had wonderful VI
veurs and connoisseurs, too. Take
for instance, Squire K.
Squire x. was a wonderful con-
noisseur of Madeira; but at dinner
some young bloods-this was before
the war-bought a quart of Madeira
at a corner grocery for dollar to fool
the squire with.
"This cheap dollar Madeira was set
before Squire K. with great solem-
nifty, and his judgment was besought
on 1t as on wine Of price. The
good squire shifted its bouquet; he
held it to the light; he tasted it; then
rolling up his eyes ecstatically, he
said:
''T recognize this vintage. This is
the famous vintage Of 1884 Moth
ing better exists
There was loud roar of laughter,
and the young men told Squire y
how they had fooled him. But the
squire said calmly:
"'The corner grocery, Ell? Well,
just send for this man. Let us find out
where he really got this wine
"The grocer was sent for. The host
said to him:
"It will go no further, and we'll
hold you harmless, If you'll tell us
where this Madeira came from
well replied the grocer, with a
grin, to tell you the truth, sir, !
bought it from your own butler"

ne Ilves, and thus finds himself fight
ing his brethren under opposing flags.
There are many Jews in the Russian,
Austrian and German armies, and a
recent report says that more than five
thousand are fighting in the ranks of
the British army. No less than 400
hold commissions in the army and
navy. julius Ref, an Austrian Jew,
fell in battle a few weeks ago, after
a remarkable record for personal dar-
ing and courage. He rose from private
to the rank Of sergeant within short
time following his enlistment, being
given his promotion on the field of
conflict. AT more than one critical
juncture his heroic conduct was re-
sponsible for turning defeat into vic
tory.

direction of the State Farmers Insti-
tute Bureau will be the most notable
gathering of farmers ever held in Wis
consin is the declaration of the state
officials in charge of the big meeting.
The Kenosha county committee has
more than done its part in the advance
ment of the plans for the big meet
ing. In making up the program
the state officials have been most
liberal with Kenosha and have sent to
the city the most noted workers along
lines for the benefit Of the farmer. Tt
has made especial provision for wom-
ans work. at the institute and many
speakers Of prominence are included
among the women. The big exhibits
planned in connection with the insti-
tute have attracted wide attention and
it is certain that there will be hundreds
of Kenosha county exhibitors at the
institute.
Today the program of the big event
is given in full. 1t follows:

WITH THE TURKISH ARMIES
Soldiers Of the Sultan Somewhat DIFF
ferent From the Opinion Gener-
ally Entertained.

The popular western conception OF
the Turkish army is something in the
nature of wild zouave, marshaled in
battalion and fired with a fanatical,
homicidal mania, But nowhere In
Turkey will you find such a concep-
ton realized. The great majority of
Ottoman regulars are singularly plain,
unpicturesque, unpretentious soldiery.
On their heads they wear either gray
bashlyks wound turbanwise. or plain
fezzes or "kalpaks" of a yellowish
brown color corresponding to their
German made uniforms of rough wool
en- cloth. Their legs are wound in a
bulky way with the same material in
a Turkish conception of puttee, and
on their feet either short boots or the
soft leather moccasinlike shoes of the
Balkans give them a comfortable agri-
cultural look. Singly or in bulk, there
is nothing at all smart about them, but
they look exceedingly equal to the de-
livery of the goods. Altogether they
appear as well able to fade indistin-
guishably into the landscape as any,
thing human could. Many of them are
Anatolians and some are ruddy-faced
Kurds from the Caucasus; others
come from the Taurus mountains,
back Of Konia and Aleppo, swarthy
syrians and Arab types. Any one Of
them will fight at the drop of hat;
he would not have to change anything.
There is nothing about him to polish
or to be kept clean. AS he stands he
sleeps and eats, drills. marches and
goes into battle-World's Work.

Dwarf TeIenhone.

At recent meeting of the Royal
society, London, DR.. P. de Lange OF
Utrecht exhibited telephone in the
form of small cylinder of about the
diameter of a pencil and half an inch
long. A very fine wire of platinum is
variably heated by the passage OF
talking currents through it, producing
expansions and contractions Of the
surrounding air and hence throwing
out corresponding sound waves. The
receiver is small enough to be insert
ed in the ear and acts as a seal to ex-
clude extraneous noises. Scientific

demonstrated that old age is due to
a decrease in the amount of water in

japanese Cookery.

Japanese cooks seldom use the fin
gers in the preparation of food. Chop
sticks, spoons and many other ingen-
ious little utensils in white wood dc
the work. which is of the most elab-
crate nature, many of the dishes re-
curing twenty.four hours to prepare.

Cruisers and RattIeshIps.

There is a difference between cruz
sers and battleships. The battleship
is, as compared with the cruiser, larg-
erd, more powerfully armored, and
carries much heavier guns. Of course,
the cruiser, especially the armored
cruiser, is, in sense, battleship, but
not in the fullest sense of the word.

FrankIin,s Secret.

The great secret of succeeding in
conversation is to admire little, to
hear much; always to distrust our own
reason, and sometimes that of our
friends; never to pretend to wit, but
to make that of others appear as much
as possibly we can: to hearken to
what is said, and to answer to the pur.
pose. Benjamin Franklin.
