fx no part of the world lias
the art of the women spy
been brought so near per
fection as in Europe. It
may be unhesitatingly said
that in Russia, which fair
. 'IJ ly swarms with eyes and
ears of the czar, the dash
ing, beautiful woman, of
high breeding and title, perhaps, has
become the most necessary arm of
that underground system which ap
pears to read thoughts as well as de
tect designs.
The secret service of Russia and
Japan is the most efficient in the
whole world, and it must not be

forgotten thnt Japan, too, has made '
use of women to ferret out thu ,
intentions of the Russian government
regarding the Russo-Japanese war. '
They arc not, as a rule, however, Jap- ,
anese women, who are singularly un
fitted for the delicate task. To meet the ,
Russian spy on his or her own ground
and Japanese have, it is said, secured
the services of some of the cleverest
women in Europe, many of them
French women, and oft< n their visible
means of support is by acting. Short
ly before Ihe war burst suddenly in
the far east, nil English manager was
conducting a Japanese troupe through
Europe, anil the tour led to Russia.
While the troupe of actors was in
Budapest a young Japanese pleaded
so hard to join the company that he
finally persuaded the manager to take
him. He was tried upon the stage,
but was found singularly ineompet* nt. '
However, something was found for
him to do, and he did not want much
.salary, fo ho was allowed to remain
with the company while it wont
through the czar's empire.
Practically nothing was lciovn of
the young man, but he was educated,
a pleasant companion, and appeared
to have plenty of money. After the
tour ended the manager discovered
he was the son of the Japanese ad
miral whose name frequently ap
peared in the newspapers in connec
tion with the wonderful naval feats
he accomplished during the war. In
the same company were several clev
er Japanese women, who kept their
eyes and ears open during the tour,
and there is little doubt that their
reports to their government had some
thing to do with the rapidity with
which tl, Japan' . ; struck the first
blow.
Tin Japanese police and military
system litis, of course, its secret serv
ice; but it is not nearly so übiquitous
as is the so-called Third Section of
the Tin ian police. Yet during the
last i w years there has little, of im
portance transpired in Europe affect
ing the situation in the far e; -t of
which the Japanese foreign office has
long b> in ignorant 11'r agents, the
be .-it of them those so-called French
actresses. In ve found a way of hi 'tig
present wherever there was anything
to be learned. Often th< :-e women
encountered th<* women spies of the
Russian government, who aw un
doubt' My among the clever' s»t detect
ives In their line in the world.
Governments at war, or on the
brink of hostilities, r quire the serv
ices of two distinct clashes of spies.
There must be many men connected
with tbl» dangerous service; but for
the most part the work demands
courage and skill rather than the d< 1-
icatc ulplomucy which Is required, too,
but Is generally, certniuly so far as
Rh si.i is concerned, s signed to wom
en oi cult ire, (ducatiou, beauty and
ran , i.i n'cnt. With the troops of
the • a i! iu« sent th< men : !»les, and
wi'h the commanding officers, with the
diplomats, with the brains which sit in
ttt. i'< icrsburg and move armies
5,(100 mile away as if they were
paw nson a chess board, the lngr:*tl
mtin a, < b ver women spies are to t»e
found.
While the Jai am » have not been
iegard< d as basing un especially etfl
chut . ■ service, (lit events of the
war demonstrated thut the persons
who were watching day and night tor
them had h « n of the gnu test value.
It is known that Ju t about the time
the v. r broke out there were in Port
Arthur »everal French dancers, who
had caplumi every itn siau official
heart.
Th< y were not only attractive dan
i.ii b* autli id hi ni« n, who
,1) *,.1 land had in-, i riiKnr.iif
DUtligt !„, The Husslaa officer* were
c harmed with them They soon be
( uin. b'-tter acquainted and proved to
be very sare« able companions, They
took u gfe.it interest iu thiugs mill
o
tary, but always made amazing blun
ders in attempting to repeat what had
been told them. The womanly ignor
ance of such matters charmed the
young officers all the more, and at the
same time put them off their guard.
Hut, as a matter of fact, they were
very clever women, and their informa
tion was speedily forwarded to the
Japanese legation nt Peking, which,
in turn, forwarded valuable reports to
Tokyo. By the time their true char
acter -\yas known the French actress
es, who were spies for the Japanese,
had left Port Arthur far behind.
The arms of the Russian Third Sec
tion are clasped around the globe, al
though its cleverest representatives
are those bright women who abound
in Europe, who exist on the excite
ment to bo derived by battling their
wits against those of others equally
clever, and by taking part in the del
icate intricacies of European diplo
macy. For this particular work it has
been found that women are far more
valuable than men. They are quick
witted, fearless and full of resources,
able to instantly detect a move and
its full import, able to checkmate at
tempts to destroy their work, and
ahv: ; s outwardly the lovely, intellec
tual woman, without a care in the
world.
These women are to be met with
wherever fashionable people and offi
cials congregate in Europe—Monaco
and, in f:x i all along the Riviera.
There are hosts of Russians in exile.
In Paris tin Nihilists meet unobstruct
ed by police; but their every move
r. i nt is reported to the ThirO Section
in St. Petersburg. A few years ago
a certain "Mile. Sense" was in Wash
ington. She spoke the purest Paris
inn, and readily passed for a French
woman. In Russian she is lime. Silz
kl, one of the cleverest of the czar's
women spies. She is a woman of
great beauty, of high birth and per
fe< i breeding. While she was in
ashington she gave lessons In
French to children in several of the
cmbassir s, and, no doubt, learned
much to interest her government.
Mmr Macaborlvitz, who is said to be
tk • widow of a Russian officer, is gen
erally considered the most beautiful
of the white czar's women spies. She
has been till over the world, and has
a! o u ed her eye sand ears in Japan
to the sati. faction of her government.

She is a woman whom no man could
refuse anything, and consequently has
artfully acquired a knowledge of inter
national politics of surprising value.
There is also in the list, of clever
women Madame Mldge-Hune, a pretty
coquette, who has been on the Rlvlora
for years, where all the men have fal
len at her feet. Once it was reported
that she was engaged to an English
nobleman; but it appears she jilted
him, for, British-like, he bad taken the
beauty too seriously. The Countess
Karolewitz and Madame Soski-Hune
gen are other women who have pried
into the the secrets of many interna
tional intrigues with success.
During the period when the rela
tions between Russia and Japan were
becoming more strained with each
successive day, St. Petersburg society
discovered there were several very
beautiful Parisiennea in the city.
They were not only very beautiful,
but charming, and most of them fell
in love with young officers of rank.
They had letters of introduction and
were warmly welcomed in official cir
cles.
One night at a ball given at one
of the legations, one of the charming
French women v.;• present. She was
very friendly with the colonel of a
Russian regiment and several times
she ineffectually attempted to draw
him into a conversation, the burden
of which was the length of time he
expected to be detained in St. Peters
burg, for it was a frequent occurrence
for a regiment to be sent to the far
east. At each attempt she was inter
rupted by a dashing Russian woman
who happened to be in the vicinity of
the pair. Finally the French woman
noticed the peculiar circumstance and
inquired of the officer the name of the
woman who seemed to hover around
them like an eagle over prOy. lie told
her, and then she knew her mission
wag. at an end, for she had been de
tected by one of the cleverest Rus
sian spies.
The Modernist in Religion.
Modernism is not accidental 01- local,
but general and characteristic. It is j
in the air. The modernist lias no seri
ous definite quarrel with the teachings
of the church. He is contending, not
for a new doctrine, but for a new at
titude. What he objects to is, not
orthodoxy, but finality. Ho maintains
the right to examine the assertions of
the old divines and of the new alike 1
with equal freedom; he sees nothing 1
sacrosanct in creeds; believing in the
Holy Spirit, be expects a constant
progress in religion, out of the im
perfection of the past into the im
provement of the future. He is not in- I
clined to agree with Mr. Chesterton j
when he says: "An open inind is a
mark of folly, like an open mouth, i
Minds, like mouths, were made to ;
shut." Ho finds that a closed mouth |
may belong to a man who is dumb, or I
ignorant, or afraid; and he infers that ■
the closed mind is a sign of similar |
conditions. He claims the right to
make experiments and mistakes. |
His supreme purpose is to restate re- ;
ligion in the terms of current thought j
for the better application of it to the
needs of current life. —George Hodges,
in the Atlantic.

Committee on Disease in Europe Says
Corn Is Not to Blame.
London, May 14.— Dr. Sambon, a
member of the Field committee which
has been investigating the disease
pellagra, telegraphs from Rome that
the committee has definitely proved
that maize or Indian corn is not the
cause of pellagra.
The committee finds that the para
sitic conveyor of the disease is the
"sirnulium repans," a species of biting

At the present rate of increase near
ly forty-five years must elapse before
sufficient hospital accommodations to
provide for all the indigent consump
tives in the United States will be pro
vided, declares the National Associa

Tuberculosis. Although over 7,000
beds in hospitals, sanatoria, camps
and wards for tuberculous patients
were established last year, there are
fully 300,000 indigent consumptives
who ought to be placed in such institu
tions and a total of only 22,720 beds in
the entire country. On May 1, 1909,
there were 15,244 beds for consump

report of the national association
shows an increase of 99 institutions

A Horse Lover.
James It. Keene, who is noted no
less as a horseman than as a financier,
said at a luncheon at his Cedarhurst
residence:
"My love of horses has been a great
comfort to me all my life. 1 have al
ways kept my horses in their place,
though. 1 haven't allowed them to in
terfere with my business.
"Some men carry their love of
horses altogether too far. Such a one
was a young father who stood, with
his fair wife, before the crib of tin ir
first born.
"'lsn't he wonderful?' the young
mother cried. 'Did you ever see any
thing like him at twenty-six months?'
" "Maternal love is all very well,' the
father retorted, impatiently, 'but please
don't try to compare it with a two
year-old thoroughbred.'"
FEED CHILDREN
Dn Properly Selected Food. It Pays
Big Dividends.
If parents will give just a little In
telligent thought to tho feeding of
their children tho difference in tha
h'-alth of tho little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes saying: "Our chil
dren are all so much better and
stronger than they ever were before
we made a change In the character of
the food. We have quit using pota
toes three times a day with coffee
and so much meat.
"Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned,
some firap* -Nuts with cream, occa
slonally some soft boiled eggs, and
some i'nstum fur breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
"It would hard to realize the
change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy aud strong, and we
attribute this change to 'he food • la

16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE
"For sixteen long years I have been
suffering with a bad case of skin dis
ease. While a child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back ot
my knees. It waxed from bad to worse,
and at last I saw 1 had a bad skin
disease. I tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
ered me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
it made It impossible for me to walk,
and I was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov
ery were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life au
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills]
and I did not need more than a trial
to convince me that I was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone I was a differ
ent man entirely. I am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard
