RUSSIAN UNREST.

When the Russian revolu-, ton began with the deposition of the czar, d loud hurrah went up over the world. Many be- iieved that Russia at one stroke had achieved freedom and was in a position to fight for the allies as she had not fought be- fore.
 Events of the past few months have brought out the truth. The Russian revolution, like most revolutions, may be ended in five years, maybe in ten years, maybe in twenty-five years. Russia is plainly still far from stable, democratic government.
 The man who accepts a res ponsible position in the Rus sian government today is more likely to be clipped off short niche in the hall of fame. behind the ears than reach q niche in the hall of fame. About the healthiest thing to do in Russia now is to keep in the background. People in rev Olution always are strangely forgetfull, and the idol of the minute becomes the public sacrifice of the next week.
 The trials of Russia read strangely like the afflictions oi the French in their revolution.

 But may the Russians re cover from their fray before blood is spilled as it was in the streets of Paris when Mira, beau Danton and Robespierre were blindly leading the French to the presumably en- chanted realm of equality and liberty.

Stories Are Startling.
The stories told by those who have
visited the prosecuting attorney
show a striking similarity. leaving
no doubt as to their truth. Other
stories told by persons who refused
to give their names are even more
startling, the prosecuting attorney
says.
"The liberality OF the peddlers OF
the courtplaster is one "a the features
which aroused suspicion While the
price is marked on each package
80 cents" numerous instances are
reported where the peddlor gave the
plaster away in order, apparently
to gain time and confidence in gath
ering the desired information.
The discoveries are regarded ser
iously here by the officials who have
given the matter their attention, and
the extent of pro-German activities
in Menominee are to be fully investi-
gated
"An official whose name cannot be
disclosed at this time, has sifted the
matter down to scheme to obtain
pro-German census. eliminating the
spread of tetanus germs as part Of
the original plans.
The plot probably originated in
Chicago, this official said last night,
and the extent of its ramifcations
will be felt in every city, town and
village in the United States, unless
1t is balked
1T is the most extensive in it's OPP
GRAFTON of any German plot yet dis
covered These peddlers, according
to our theory have been recruited
from the ranks of rabd pro-Germans
most Of them no doubt are real ped
dlers-and outfitted by wealthy Ger
mans who are in league with the
Fatherland They give the wares :,
the peddlers free of charge, and de
mand in return, complete census
of pro-German sympathizers
AS to the value of such census
Suppose there was in Menominee,
factory engaged in the manufacture
of imported articles intended for the
government Instead OF sending
man whose presence might arouse
suspicion. local man whose name
appears on the list, Is communicated
with and an appeal made 10 his love
for the Fatherland The particular
piece OF espionage desired Is accom-
plished without noise or suspicion.
Regarding the plausibility OF the
plot, IL Is not only possible, but very
probable. Germany has shown that
details which other nations overlook,
are the strong links in her efficiency

which may mean an advantage.

to make will be sweeping one,

 Two perennials which are most beautiful and satisfactory are the Bur bank daisy and the lovely eherry-red, hardy carnation pink. You make no mistake in ordering them.
 Do not allow the water in which the plants and bulbs are grown to become sour or they will suffer. Change it often and keep few pieces of char coal in it.
 Be careful to remove all flowers as soon as they begin to fade. Leaves that show any decay should be cut and burned. They are apt to en- courage disease and malignant insects.
 If white worms appear in the soil of your potted plants, dissolve a piece of fresh lime in water and set the pot in water, letting it remain there until the soil and ball of roots are thor oughly saturated.

HOUSE, LAWN AND GARDEN.

House plants that are buggy and shaggy and refuse to improve should be thrown out. They are an eye sore. Better demolish the window gar den than to mock nature with the vic tims of ignorance or neglect.
 A pretty combination in the way of plants for table decoration is to plant a dracaena in the center and surround t with small ferns, peperonia, a saxifrage, and locopodElm. They are agreeable to one another and thrive with the same treatment.
 Any time during the winter when the canes are not frozen prune and tie up grape and ornamental climbers. This work should not be delayed until growth starts, as 1t will then injure the vines.
 If you find punches of dead leaves hanging in the trees. remove them. They contain destructive young larvae. Spray if you see evidence of the scale.
 If leaves strew the lawn, do not de- stroy them. They protect the grass. 
 Plan to have plenty of flowers next summer, but if you are restricted in your desire, determine to begin q hardy, herbaeeous border. This should consist of hardy, early and late bloom ing bulbs and perennials. AS such I border is intended to be undisturbed for years, perhaps, it should be deeply spaded and we'll manured
