It U now eight and twenty years
'new Jewish conspirator Aaron
ttadelevlc by name, a native of
7Hn in Lithuania, came forward
ad assured the organization to
'hkh he belonged that If they
wild find the means he would find

I up In St. Petersburg. A sum of

iroad Aaron smuggled Into St. Pet

M Propaganda, young nobles taught
Mmselves a trade In order to go
own "among the people"), and In

Tula clandestine press Is clandrs

fy govern the whole working of
M affair. The editor himself may,
r may not, know the persons who
r responsible for the mechanical
iroductlon of the paper; he seldom,
f trer, knows the place at which It Is
rodueed. A confidential messen
er comes to a given spot on a given
ay to receive manuscripts from the
dttor's hand; he comes again to de
.rsr the proofs, and the rendezvous
never twice the same. The con
rlbutors are known probably to
.tone except the editor. In a word,
recautlons, the most minute and ex
rswrdlnary, must be observed If the
eeret press Is successfully to baffle
he everlasting efforts of the police
- unmask It.
Stepnlak tells us that during the
Ime he was one of the edlto's of
and and Liberty he was taken once,
..nd once only, to the printing office,
in Important piece of news hnd to
i Inserted in the number that was
.bout to be issued, and he made his
ray to the office In one of the cen
ral streets of the city. The Chief
if Police had declared that this office
ould not possibly bo In St. Peters
urg, "because otherwise he would
'afalllbly have discovered It." Sten
jlak found the people of the office,
-.nd the women who helped them
.nd managed for them, living In al
..ost absolute durance.
In five rooms. Including a little
cltchen, four conspirators wore In
stalled ; two men and two women,
larla Krlloff, who passed as mls
rssu of the house, a woman of about
:5, had devoted her life to the
'cause"; she had been transported
o Siberia and had escaped.
These four brought out the Narod
:at Volla, which the head of the po
le declared could not be produced
n. St. Petersburg.
The dvornlk had to be hoodwinked
'rom day to day.
Maria Krlloff went upon the bold
dan of sending for htm at any and
Try hour, and conducting hlra
.hrough all the Ave rooms, under the
iretense of hunting for a trouble
tome rat. They learned In this way
iow to dispose of the plant at from
Ire to ten minutes' notice. At night,
tshlnd a double curtain of canvas,
aled across the window, the type
vas set. In the strangling monotony
f this existence, the workers tasted
nly one excitement, but that was a
lally and an hourly one, the llkell
lood of discovery and arrest. So
.Ty present waa this danger that It
oaasod into a Joke, and the ladles
taed to speculate at their meager
evening meal whether they would be
aanged or transported to Siberia.
The expected happened at last at
:h office of the Narodnala Volla.
One night the police came down on It.
What they had reckoned on as easy
leisure transformed itself into a four
hours' siege and battle. Maria Krll
off drew on the gendarmes with hor
revolver, and to a challenge of this
sort the response is always prompt
and merciless in St. PeterHburg. The
office was riddled with bullets, but
for four hours the conspirators kept
their stand. The survivor was
"The Bird," who blew his brains out
when the game was up. He 1ms
transmitted no name to posterity; he

Though the American I nrllnn
is
dying out, what Is left of the race
manages to be 'comfortable. The
Osages of Oklahoma are among the
richest people In the world. Tho
average bank deposit of every mem
ner or me iriDo is 4,tf44 bringing

land owned by each family Is worth
$11,600. The total red population of
North America now amounts to some
400,000, of whom about 100,000 are
In Canada and 80,000 in Alaska.
During the last twenty years the
United States Government has pur
chased from the Indians more than
1.000 square miles of land for which
it has paid over $300,000,000.
NOT A MILITARY COUNTRY.
Vnrlc Sam's Officers Prefer the Plain
CHIens' Dress.
Although a great many of the
4,000 commissioned officers of the
United States array are stationed at
ten or twelve forts, posts and ar
senals In and about this city, and
scores of officers from neighboring
parts of the Department of the East
from time to time visit the headquar
ters on Governors Island, an army
officer In uniform Is a rare sight In
town, says the New York Sun.
Within the enclosure of any of the
forts you will see plenty of gold lnca
when officers are on duty, but the
moment an officer makes ready to
reave the reservation for any ordi
nary errand not actually requiring
uniform he dons citizens' clothes.
Even down at the big and externally
gloomy Army Building citizens' dress
Is the rule and uniforms are the ex
ception. What is true of the army is equal
ly true of the navy. You often see
Jack ashore In his comfortable
blouse and wide trousers, for (he
regulations require him to travel
thus attired. But of the several hun
dred naval officers almost always in
this port one rarely shows himself In
uniform to the everyday citizen.
Dozens of naval officers dine night
ly with friends ashore at private
houses or at public resorts but they
are never suspected for what they
really are, so studiously do they con
form to the fashions of civilian
dress. .
Alone, walking the streets, or rid
ing with private citizens In a public
vehicle, he is the object of a curios
ity that is pretty sure to make hlra
uncomfortable. The vain youngster
who by accident Is tempted to ap
pear alone in uniform with the hope
of tasting notoriety Is unlikely to re
peat the experiment, and It Is the un
written etiquette of mess ahd ward
room never unnecessarily to wear
uniform In public.
Municipal Child Roaring
The town of Huddcrsfleld, Eng
land, which stands in the front rank
of the cities that have adopted the
plan of public utilities owned and
controlled by the municipal authori
ties, has recently taken a further
step, and provided for child rearing
under official direction. Realizing
that a large part of the death rate
among the poor was of Infants under
one year of age, owing to insufficient
or unintelligent enre and nourish
ment, the Mayor of the city offered a
bonus of $4 to every child born In
one of the districts that should at
tain tho age of twelve months. This
offer, which Is to hold good during
the term of the present Incumbent's
mayoralty, led the local health au
thorities to consider whether steps
could not be taken toward saving
the lives of Infants.
Accordingly they decided to offer a
reward of one shilling to the first
person who should inform the medi
cal officer of the birth of a child
within forty-eight hours of Its occur
rence. The mother Is then to be vis
ited by physicians and women health
visitors, who will instruct her as to
the best methods of feeding, wash
ing and clothing the child, while, In
addition, detailed Instructions are to
be prepared and printed for general
distribution
The health visitors will also exam-
lno .the homes of the mothers and
factories and other places where wo
men are employed, and cases where
deaths of children under one year
have occurred will be Investigated.
Furthermore, a year's experiment
will be undertaken with a day nur
sery where children will be cared for,
and sterilized milk will be supplied
for the babies. Huddersfieid Is a
manufacturing town, and the author
ities consider that Its present
strength can best be preserved
through maintaining Its native la
bor. They therefore believe that If
the infant mortality Is reduced to a
minimum a large majority of the
children would grow to manhood
and womanhood. The experiment Is

The boy's father has two hobbles,
brevity and politeness. "If you pass
your mid-year's telegraph me the
word, "Yes." 11 you don't paBs,
wire "No." I'll know enough then,"
said the father. But he forgot his
own Instructions, so when the son
passed and telegraphed home "Yes,"
the father puzzled a while and finally
replied, "Yes, what?" At midnight
he was called out of bed to get this

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG,
A NEW ANAKSTHKTIC.
It Lasts Ninety Minutes and Pro
duces Numbness Only.
"Chlorohydrate of Dlmethylamlno
benzoylpentanol.' Such Is the awe
Inspiring title of the latest anaes
thetic. In order not to unduly alarm
his patients, Dr. Fourneau, its
French discoverer, has renamed It
"Stovalne."
It Is Injected Into the spinal fluid,
and within Ave minutes produces
complete anaesthesia in the body be
low the pont of Injection. The pa
tient, however, does not lose con
sciousness. Its effects last for an
hour and a half, and no unpleasant
results have yet been observed,
though It has been tried for some
time In more than one Paris hospital.
English doctors are reluctant to
experiment with It. "Once you have
Injected your 'Stovalne' Into the
spine," said t prominent F. R. C. S.
yesterday, "you have no more control
over It, but with gaseous anaesthetic
It Is possible to stop the administra
tion before the danger point Is
reached. As the quantity needed of
any anaesthetic varies with the Indi
vidual patient, the Importance of
this control may be easily realized.

dansrer of Kent If. nnlnnnlne In hvnn-
dermic injections, and in this form !

the consequences would be most
dangerous." London Mall.
Building up a Flock of Fowls.
Begin by killing every rooster on
the place. Then decide upon some
breed which will best meet the re
quirements and purchase from a re
liable breeder roosters of this breed
yetting one cock for every fifteen or
twenty bens in the flock. Then buy
a setting of eggs of this breed, be
ing careful however to see that
these are unrelated to the rooBters
purchased. Set these eggs under a
frood mothe, hen and at the end of a
year kill or sell oft all the original
roosters, replacing them with those
resulting from the setting of eggs.
At the end of the second year kill or
sell the males and repeat the oper- !
ation each year, never keeping them
more than one yeat and never buy
ing a rooster related to the hens.
Do not forget to kill or dispose of
the pullets batchea from the setting
of purebred eggs, as they are of
course related to tne roosters of the
tame hatch and their retention '
would defeat the end sought. As '
rapidly as possible kill or sell off
all the original scrub hens and
thereafter always dispose of the old
er members of the flock.
Value of an Ktlncntion.
The value of a thorough educa
tion fitting a young man for his
life work is no longer a debatable
Question. The recent report of the
United States Bureau of Education
shows that a boy with a common
school education hat practically one
chance in 9,000 of general recogni
tion as a successful man In some de
partment of human endeavor and
usefulness. A high school educa
tion increases his chances of such
success by abcut twenty-two times,
while a college education gives a
young man about ten times the prob
ability of, success and advancement
possessed by the high school gradu
ate, or pbout two hundred times the
opportunity open to a boy with only
a common school education. Scien

impulses are transmitted through the
air or ether by electricity. In the
submarine telephone sound waves
travel through water unaided by any
electrical force. Water, being denser
than air, acts as a better sound con
ductor. It transmits sound four and
a half times as fast as air, 1,100 feet

Sweet Skim Milk for Calves.

that he has been using It fresh from

both In feeding calves and pigs and
has found It most excellent. For
calves he mixes a little meal and
middlings with the milk, and for pigs
increases the meal somewhat, and
says that both grow rapidly on such
feeding. He warns against feeding
milk that has soured in tho least and
himself feeds It sweet from the sepa

Coles August Predictions
Coles for August says: "The out
look for August is not at all encour
aging, For the 6rst time in many
months the "high flood" and "low
ebb" vital forces of all human,
animal and vegatahle life will be on
a balance and it will take thought
ful, steady action on the part of us
all to stay off the many distur
bances which will occur, as the life
forces will be on the verge of collapse
and the planets are in position to
encourage evil thoughts anJ doiugs.
Earth is opposed by Ieo, the
Lion, the king of the Low Ebb
forces, who will cause epidemics,
drought, destructive vegetable mi
crobes, etc., to afflct the earth.
Business men must stand firm and
not "crowd" each other in order to
avoid a panic. There will be many
sudden deaths this month and all
those in poor health should not ex
ert themselves on the fcllowing 'low
ebb' days: ist, 2nd, 3rd, 13th, 14th,
24th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th.
A partial eclipse of the moon will
occur August 14 15 invisible in
this country. There will also be a
total eclipse of the sun Augut 30th,
v'sible in the eastern half of the
United States. Mark the dis
astrous storms, riots and unexpect
ed disturbances that will follow in
the shadows of the eclipse.
Strange weather will predominate
during the whole month. The
battle between the heat and cold
elements will continue as gaseous
matter now passing over the sun is
increasing and if a break does not
occur and cause severe electrical
storms, then a drought will be sure
to follow. See "Storms and Signs"
calendar. The last part of the month
Venus, Earth aud Mercury will
combine their forces with Vulcan and
the probabilities are that we may
witness some severe storms both on
land and sea. There will be many
fine days to enjoy and a number of
beautiful sunset scenes to witness as
the sua shining through the gaseous
matter passing over it, will give it
a very red glare and its reflection
will increase the brilliancy of the
moon.
