Things have been growing from>Bad to worse ever since the year 1893, when Jexander III., the "hero czar," as re- actionaries call him, was on the throne. He and his ministers saw that the con- tents of the treasury were dwindling dewn in an alarming manner. Oppres- sion, war, and mismanagement had seé- duced his empire, so rich in resources, 'te a slate verging on bankruptcy. He jeppealed to his minister of finances, Count Witte, for some way out of the ifficulty, Witte has not gained his high posi- tion for nothing. He is one of the clev- -erest servants the czars, father and son, have ever had, His answer was - soon ready. 'The amount of drunkenness in the empire is appalling," he said. "Every- _ body who keeps a kabak (grog shop), _ adulterates the vodka, and by making it cheap; induces the peasant to drink _jfoo much of it. The only way to put 0 stop to it is for your imperial high- ness to fake the monopoly of the sale _linte. your own hands. The treasury - will have enormous profits and the pub- lic pure vodka." , All this was doubtless true. The in- fluence of the "kabak" was demoraliz- ing, as is the influence of every place _ where men are encouraged-to drink _ te excess. CZAR'S BAR WORSE THAN OLD. fe The e old publicans, with their adul- terated drinks and their usury were Begpt oway. But the new publican, Ug arhas failed to sweep away their abuses, or rather, he has replaced them by worse Ones. True, there is no long- 'er any meeting place where the villag- . ers can drink and sing together. The vodka they now drink is purer and sealed in bottles--it is also dearer, But far more of it is drunk, So much more, 'in fact, that, whereas in the year 1901 the treasury gained-a net profit of $129,- - 540,000 from, the sale of vodka, inthe year 1905 it had increased to $257,040,- * 000. And this huge sum is principally drawn from "wretched peasants and workingmen out on strike. The poorer the men get the more they drink, and the more they drink the less -jthey will work. The large landed pro- prietors are complaining bitterly of this. In White Russia, where the soil is unusually rich, the peasants are un- usually poor and the proprietors have to let whole estates go untilled because they cannot get laborers. fhe secret of much of the banditism which is now ranging in Russia is this ~ eraving for vodka. Most of the booty js spent on it. Beggars infest the streets of the towns and hang on' to 'he cabs and sledges, worrying and threatening the passengers till they get a few coppers, which are promptly spent in the vodka shops. : 'TEMPERANCE HOUSES DESERTED. - But the temperance houses, insti- -- duted by Count Wille lo replace the ~"kabaks," are deserted, though they cost over $5,100,000 yearly to keep up.

The new. $40,000 barn is equip- ped with all necessary appliances _ for success in this business and for teach- ing college students and the farmers «wf the vicinity the methods necessary for the production of pure milk. No preservatives are used. The milk is not pasteurized. Every means is taken to secure cleanliness and pur- ity. The stable is kept clean and thor- cughly ventilated. The floors are ce ment and the walls and cefling are plastered with a hard, smooth nish, There are two systems of ventilation. The windows in the rear of the cattle open at the top to secure a draught of fresh air over the heads of the cows. Steam pipes in fules built into the wall create an artificial circulation of pure air. The stanchions are made with smooth surface, so that they will nol collect. dust. WHEN MILKING IS DONE. It has been found by: experiment that milk drawn from a new milch cow or from one that is about to become dry, contains bacteria which will cause the milk to turn sour, There is a period of several weeks between these two ex- tremes when the relation of butter fat te other solids remains about the same from day to day. Milk drawn in this period will keep sweet much longer than that taken from the cow at other times, Cews at this stage are selected for the produetion of steamer milk. They are given an abundance of wholesome food and pure water. Then to secure perfect cleanliness the cow is groomed and thoroughly washed and covered with a white blanket, and her head so fastened in the stanchion that she cannot lie down before the milking. The man who does the milk- ing is a student especially interesled in the work. He puts on a white suit and carefully washes his hands and wears white gloves. The gloves collect any particles that friction may loosen from the udder, The milk pail is made cf heavy pressed tin without seams and after having been thoroughly washed In boiling water and Sterilized in a boiler, has the opening at the top coy- ered with sterilized gauze, through which the milk is strained as it comes from the cow. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. When all is ready an atlendant places the stool and hands a pail to the milk- er. Into this a pint of milk is drawn from each teat? This the attendant re- moves, since it' may contain some bac- teria. A second pail is then given to the milker, into which the rest of the milk is drawn. As soon as the milking 1s ended the milker carries the pail at once into the dairy house and pours it into sterilized bottles,. which are standing in ice water. When the ani- mal heat is. gone the boltles are closed with sterilized paper tops, which are hermetically sealed with paraffin wax. The bottles are then packed in crates with shaved ice and are ready for ship- ment to the steamer. The value of this method of produc- ing milk as an abject lesson of clean- liness to the average farmer is great. Pure milk will keep for many days, and as food for infants and for inva- lids it is worth all that it costs, pe rime RE SSE CHILDHOOD INDIGESTION MEANS SICKLY BABIES The baby who suffers from indiges- tion is simply starving to death. -- It loses all desire for food and the little it does take does if no good; the child is peevish, cross and restless, and the mother feels worn out in caring for il.

KING DISLIKES PAINTED FACES. Displqased at a New Fashion Among Young Women. It has just come to my knowledge, wriles a correspondent, that the King and Queen were rather displeased at the number of women at the last court whose complexions bore obvious signs cf artificial color. After several wo- men, including some quite young giris, had passed, the. King turned to the Queen, and remarked how astonished he was that the young daughter of a celebrated peer should have come to court with a painted face. But of recent years this practice has become very -general, When it confined to middle-aged matrons anxi- cus to. preserve their fading charms, the King, who has large tolerance in these matters, did not make any re- mark, but it was casy to see he was shocked at the number of young we- men at last Friday's court whose faces shone with rouge. It is very probable that some notice may be taken of the matter hefore the next court.

Nature demands it as an aid to carrying off the impurities that have accumulated in the blood during the winter months. Thousands of people recognizing the necessity of a spring medicine dose themselves with harsh, griping purgatives. This is a' serious mistake. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that the use of purgative medi- cine weakens the system, but does not cure disease. In the spring the system needs building up--purgatives weaken. The blood should be made rich, red and pure--purgatives cannot de this. What is needed in the spring t a tonic, and the best tonic medical science has yet devised is' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. /Every dose of the medicine actually makes new rich red blood. This new blood strengthens every organ, every nerve, every part of the body. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ban- ish pimples and unsightly skin erup- tions. That is why they cure headaches, backaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, gen- eral weakness and a host of other trou- bles that come from poor, watery blood. That is why men and women who use Dr, Williams' Pink Pills eat well, sleep well, and feel bright, ac- tive and strong. Mrs, Joseph Lepage, St. Jerome, Que., says: "My daughter sulfered from headaches and dizziness. Her appetite was poor. She had no strength and could not study or do any work. She was thin end pale as a sheet. A neighbor advised the use of Dr, Williams' Pink. Pills, and after tak- ing a couple of 'boxes we could see an improvement in her condition. She used the pills for some weeks longer, when they fully restored her health, and she is now enjoying the best health she ever did.'

DANGEROUS PROFESSION MAKES A LIVING BY CLIMBING TALL CHIMNEYS. -- Steeple Jack Relates Some of His Ex- periences--Ascended Nelson's Column. W. Larkins, one of the few profes- sional steeplejacks in England, who recently celebrated his 33rd birthday, has been relating some of his experi- ences to London papers. He talked lightly of his experiences. "I made my first ascent," said he, "when I was only seven years of age, and,>since then, my life has been one series of promo- ticons--in the air. My father was a steeplejack all-his life, and met. his death through a fall at Clydemany only two years ago. Personally, I have nev- cr had. an accident. "Mm a short time--I_have already got the engagement--I hope to ascend the highest chimney in the world. It is al Messrs. Townsend's works at Port Dundag, near Glasgow, and is more than 500 feet high. The nearest ap- proach to it in England is a chimney at Bolton,"the property of Messrs. Dobson and Barlow, which is 360 feet. This is the highest stack in England. TOOK GIRL WITH HIM. "One of the most interesting ascents I have ever made was at Hereford twelve months ago. Here, by the wish of one of the church-wardens connected with the church; 'the steeple of which 1 was repairing, I took up with me his daughter, cighteen. years of age. "The young lady was as cool and self-possessed as if she had been used tc such ascents all her life, and, as a matter of fact,-demurred when I sug- gested that.for both our sakes it was necessary to descend." Speaking of 'the sieeplejack. industry in general, Mr. Larkins mentioned that there was only two or three of his craft in London. In Lancashire, however, where "chimneys are as common as trees,". there are hundreds of experts. Not one of these has accepted his challenge to climb the greatest height in the least time. He was, he. said, quite willing to compete with anybody in the world with regard to the Port Dundas chimney, but the owners de- cided fo give him the Avork without in- curring risks by making it an open competition. Among other large exterprises on which Mr, Larkins has been engaged, was the renovation of the Nelson co!- umn in Trafalgar square two. years ago, His descriplion of the statue of THE HERO. OF TRAFALGAR ig worth repeating: "The figure itself is 17 feet 4% inches in height. and it measures 5 feet 3 inches across. the shoulders. The sword which hangs by its side is 7 feet 934 inches long." "As a matter of fact, there was little wrong with either the column or the figure when I examined them. In the former the rain had caused certain cracks, which were easily repaired. with cement, and the arm--the majority Gf but, of course, you know it is the left-- needed three brass bands to keep it in fos tion, "So long as the column stands it will need no further. repairing, but how long it will stand I cannet tell you..

The death is announced at Milan of one of the most famous swindlers in Europe, George Masolescu, Duke of Ot ranto, and Prince Lahovray, both ti- tles being self-conferred on him. He was a man of extraordinary good looks, a perfect figure, a bright, amiable dis- position and all the necessary equip- mnent for the Chevalier ? Industrie, He was bern in Roumania forty years ago, the son of an army officer. He ran away from a military academy at Gal tz and went to Constantinople. He soon absconded with the pocketbook and the prize beauty of the Pasha's 'harem, He was arrested across the Greek frontier and attempted suicide, He was taken to a hospital, where the handsome youth attracted the attention of Queen Olga, who was visiting the sick. She procured his release, and gave him money enough to take him home. He left. Roumania the second time as a stowaway on a grain steam- €r, and reached Paris. He soon stole enough to set up a large villa in the fashionable quarter. He drove his own carriage on the Bois de Boulogne and raced his horses at Longchamps. Pre- Bently fustice -oyertook him and ne fvas sent to fail. When he was released from prison, fcur or five years later, he visited Lon- don and Monte Carlo, and went to Can- da as the Duke of Otranto. In San Francisco he was the nephew of the Spenish Minister at Washington. Thence he went to Japan, and afterwards_ to Honolulu, where he fleeced a rich wi- dow. FLEECED A MILLIONAIRE. From Honolulu he went to Chicago, where he became engaged to the daugh- ter Of a millionaire. He returned to London and got eight months_at hard kabor for stealing jewelry from hotels. After this he went to Brussels, where he rescued a rich Brazilian from a gang of rufflans and escorted him to a ho- lel, picking his pockets of $10,000 while on the way. A short visit to Monte Carlo as the Duke of Otranto netied him 200,000 crowns oul of a rich Hun- garian widow. After serving another sentence in jail for a hotel robbery at Nice, he visited Italy, where he met the Countess Angelica von Konigsbruck, member of one of the most distinguish- ed Saxon families. Posing as a weal- thy Roumanian land-owner, he married her in Genoa, The marriage was celebrated before a fashionable audience by the Arch- bishop of Genoa. The bride's large dewry was exhausted during the hon- eymoon. A child was born to the couple in Switzerland. FURTHER ADVENTURES. After a duel with the brother of an- other lady, this adventurer went to America again, and returned to Paris as. the Prince Lahovary, bringing with him the proceeds of a jewel robbery in Philadelphia. Subsequently he went to 3erlin and proposed to an American Nady. Incidentally he ransacked the hotel bedrooms, When-the relatives of the lady demanded financial guaran- tces, the Prince was arrested for a rob- tery at Genoa, He was tried in Ber- jin. He shammed insanity and deceiy- ed the experts complelely,.so that he was sent t0 an asylum. He escaped from this institution after gagging and binding the warden, He next visited the Klondike, after which he returned to Italy, married a rich French woman and setiled down fo wrile his: memoirs. He was suffer- fing, he wrote, from an incurable dis- ease, and only regretted that he had fo leave his "angel of a wife and two pearls of children."
