8t Petersburg.- The expectation In
some quarters that the anniversary of
the emancipation of the serfs on Sun
day would be commemorated by an
agrarian ukase was not fulfilled. All
the newspapers, however, seized the
occasion to discuss the peasant ques
tion In view of the general anticipa
tion of extensive agrarian troubles In
the spring, unanimously agreeing
that only legal satisfaction of the land
hunger of the MuJIcks will prevent an
awful Jacquerie. The conservative
Journals draw a striking parallel of
riots which followed the proclamation
of civic liberty and the events that
succeeded Emperor Alexander's de
cree of personal freedom for the pur
pose of proving that the present polit
ical ferment is only Incident to tho
adjustment of the population to a new
regime. Then, as now, they say, the
emperors act was mlsunderp od.
The peasants believed the lana
with which they were endowed was a
free gift, and when they were unde
ceived Jubilation over their freedom
turned to anger, and was followed by
uprisings and riots throughout the em
pire which provoked the sternest re
pression.
On the contrary the radical Journals
like the new situation and paint a
sorrowful picture of the unfortunate
peasant of the last forty years bound

discharged and subjoct to the knout
They attribute the miserable condl
tlon of the peasants to the Incomplete

Russian people are now condemned to
another such period of misery and
struggle because the grant of civic
liberty is insufficient.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DI5EA5E.
How frequently doe a brad line simi
lar to the above greet u In the news
papers. The rush. push and etrenuous
nem of the American people has a stronf
tendency to lead "P valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by Ir
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ipgrtilenU of
which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery Is msde are recommended by some
of the leading writers on Materia MedU
for the cure of just such rases. Golden
Seal root, for lntwe, is said by the
UarrED States Dispksatobt, a stand
ard authority, "to Impart tone and In
creased power to the heart's action."
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal a an unsurpassed
tonle for the muscular system In general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com
posed of muscular tissue, it naturally
follows that It mutt be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. Bat
probably the most Important ingredient
of "Golden Medical Discovery," so far
as Its marvelous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con
cerned, is .Stone root, or CoMntonla Can.,
Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Paine's

CXPEN8E OF PASTE DIAMONDS
Material from Which Imitation Gems
Are Made la Not Cheap.
"PaBte," from . which imitation
precious stones are made. Is widely
known, but few are acquainted with
the Ingredients, though It Is generally
understood that the paste gains rts
brilliancy from the lead it contains.
Formulas vary for the paste, but
all contain rock crystal, red lead, car
bonate of potash, borax and white ar
senic. It Is required that these articles
shall be of a higher grade of purity,
aa there is a considerable waste, bo
that the gems made from "strass," as
the composition is technically known,
are by no means Inexpensive.
A paste diamond cannot scratch
glass and is thus easily detected, but
colored stones are made of crystal
alone that are considerably harder
than glass.
In the making of these a crystal
stone is hollowed out and filled with
some colored liquid, the orifice being
closed with a plug of crystal, which is
ground down so that there is no trace
of the Junction. New York Herald.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public
The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand In Ameri
ca became known to the people Is
rather Interesting.
As the story goes the possessor of
the hand was with some friends In a
photographer's one day and while
talking, held . up a piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with Its per
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re
sult waa a beautiful picture kept In
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone Inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr. Post
said to his wife, "We receive so
many Inquiries of this kind, that It Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertls
tlslng department have that picture
of your hand to print and name It "A
Helping Hand." (Mrs. Post haa as
sisted him In preparation of some of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was" granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts,
so the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artlata lave commented upon
It aa probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. of the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later tn one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to Induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver
tisements to learn the name, of the
owner.
- This combination of art, and com
merce and the multitude of Inquiries
furnishes an excellent Illustration of
the Interest the public takes tn the
persona! and family life of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements in
newspaper and periodicals.
MISSISSIPPI T01
WRECKED BY TQRKADQ
, Number of People Are Dead and
Scores Are Injured as Result of
Storm at Meridian.
Meridian, Miss. A tornado, accom
panied by a heavy rainstorm, struck
this city at 6:30 on Friday, and as a
result a number of people are dead
and scores are Injured.
The storm center waa In the south
ern portion of the city, and particu
larly heavy along Front street, "one
of the principal business streets of
the town. Nearly every bouse on
Front street was demolished. The
Armour Packing company's plant Is
the only building left standing, and
the roof of that is gone. Fire broke
out In the ruins and, despite the
heavy rain, the flames burned fiercely.
A number of bodies are reported to
be in the ruins. The city Is In total
darkness, the electric light plant hav
ing been badly damaged. The tornado
did severe damage at other points
adjacent to Meridian, and all trains
entering Meridian are delayed.
A conservative estimate places the
number of buildings blown down at
between thirty and. forty. The heav
iest losers are the Meyer ft Neville
Hardware company, Tom Lyle ft Co.,
Joseph Moore, dry goods and gro
ceries; the New Orleans ft Northwest
ern railroad freight depot and other
buildings the names of which are not
obtainable at this hour. The Mobile
ft Ohio depot Is safe, as well as the
Southern hotel, but the Grand Avenue
hotel was considerably damaged. The
guests In the latter building escaped.
From the business center the tornado
jumped to the east end, where a num
ber of residences were blown down
and others badly damaged.
ANOTHER CONFESSION IN
THE STEUNENBERG CASE.
Steve Adams, One of the Alleged Con
spirators, Said to Have Made a
Clean Breast of It.
" Boise, Idaho. The announcement Is
made that Steve Adams, arrested at
Hatne, Ore., on February 20, In con
nection with the Steunenberg assassi
nation, has made a full and sweeping
confession.
"This second confession Is far more
Important than that made by Harry
Orchard.' This statement was mails by
James McParland, the famous detec
tive, In the presence of Governor
Gooding and J. H. Hawley, who Is In
charge of the prosecution.
Mr. McParland added that Adams'
confession fully and exactly corrobor
ated that made by Orchard at every
point touched upon by both.
"Moreover," Mr. McParland con
tinued, "Adams knows far more of
the workings of the Inner circle than
Orchard did, and was able to give a
mass of detailed Information that Or
chard's confession did not cover.
"The confession of Adams,' he said,,
"corroborated that' given by Orchard
in every substantial point connected
with the assassination of ex:Governor
Steunenberg. Adams, however, was
not at Caldwell at the time of the
assassination nor was Orchard at the
time of the unsuccessful effort in No
vember. The man who assisted Orch
ard on that latter occasion, as set
forth in Orchard's confession, was
Jack Simpkins."
Still another statement made by
the detective was that the Adams.con
fesslon gave the details of a large
number of murders that were not re
ferred to In any manner by Orchard.
It was further stated that the confes
sion had been reduced to writing,
signed and acknowledged. It was a
volumnious document, " covering
greater field and In more detail than
that made by Orchard. The further
statement was made that Adams had
made this confession without being
promised antyhlng. When talked
with about the matter he simply
made a clean breast of all he knew
of this case and of the secret work
ings of the Western Federation.

Germany Not Anxious for War.
Paris. The Journal publishes the
result of an investigation made by its
correspondents along the German
frontiers. The paper says the Ger
mans do not desire war, but the Ger
man army la ready and Its superior
mobilisation plans permit a rapid In
vasion of French territory. The Jour
nal counsels the abandonment of
French rellaace on fortifications and
the adoption of the German plan of a
rapid invasion of the enemy s territory.
PERFUMES CAU8E OF HYSTERIA.
Danger in the Use of Combinations of
Scents.
Chemists And many Interesting ex
periments In tbe compounding of
scents. Almost all perfumes have as a
basis ambergris or civet And while
th'y are most necessary, great care
must be observed In their use, for a
grain too much will make the scent
distressingly Irritating to the wearer,
as well as to those with whom she
comes in contact. Tbe same Is true of
many combinations of perfumes, and
several separate scents attacking a
sensitive set of nerves at one time
may produce hysteria, though the suf
ferer may be at a loss to find a reason
for the attack. This In itself Is a good
argument against the indiscriminate
use of perfumes. Good taste has long
waged war against the use, but with
small results. Particularly during the
last few years has there been an In
crease In the offence. New York
Herald.
Land of Original Blackmail.
England, according to Justice Philll
more, enjoys In some foreign coun
tries the reputation of being the home
of the blackmailer. Certainly Great
Britain was at least the land of the
original "blackmail," the "mall," rent
or tribute paid on the Anglo-Scottish
and Highland borders by farmers to
freebooters In return for immunity
from their visitations. In Ireland a
similar Institution was known as
"black rent" The old word "mail,"
meaning rent and coming either from
the Anglo-Saxon "mael," a portion,
or the old French "maille," a half
penny, is quite a different word from
the postal "mall," which is simply
"male," a bag. To Coke and Black
stone "blackmail" had an innocent
significance, meaning rent paid in la
bor or produce, as opposed to "white
rent" paid In "white money," silver.

Beet Roots a Valuable Remedy.
Beet roots have valuable diuretic
qualities. One lady suffering from a
disease of that nature paid a very
high fee to a famous doctor, besides
journeying far to see him, merely to
be told to take regularly the juice of
beets. These should be trimmed as
little as possible before boiling, great
care being taken not to cut off the
little rootlets or fibers, in order that
they may not "bleed" and bo lose a
great deal of their juice and brilliant

Pi t Parsimony.
Everything by comparison. Said
a woman recently of a young married
couple whose families are counted
immensely rich. "They really can not
live on their income; it is shocking to
pinch as they must. Why, you know,
his father only gives him 110,000 a
year. He has a salary of 5,000 and
she has an allowance from her family
of $10,000 only $25,000, with a 100,
000 house to keep up. It's outrageous
with all the money there Is in those
two families!" Twenty-five thousand
dollars Income and a completely fur
nished house and yet counted paupers
by the world in which they move. Bet
ter change the orbit and come into
one of common sense. Boston

8CRATCHED WILL ON THE ICE.
Queer "Document" Put on Record in
Connecticut.
"On a Connecticut pond." said a
lawyer, "a clergyman was skating one
day alone. Suddenly the ice broke,
and he plunged Into the cold, deep
water. He could not swim, but he
managed to keep up by holding to the
edges of the ice about the hole he had
made. If he tried to climb up on the
ice, though, it broke under him. So,
without moving, he shouted for help.
"No help came. The place was lone
ly. The parson realized before long
that he was In a bad way, and with
his knife he scratched on the Ice his
last words a brief farewell, and a
bequest to his wife of all he possessed.

Had anything happened to make it
so?" The manager smiled brutally.
"Yes, he was stirred up that day, and

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case CureaJ fcy
Dr. Williams' Pink Pllle.
Bronght to the very verge of starva
tion by the rejection of all nourishment,
ker vitality almost destroyed, the re
covery of Mrs. J. A. Wyatt, of No. 1189
Seventh street, Dei Moiues, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must lutve resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug
gested by her sister's experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says : " I had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath m that I could net
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and I w.n Reize-.l with vomiting
spells whenever I took any fod. A doc
tor waa called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re
lief. Then I tried a second doctor with
out benefit. By this time I bad become
very weak. I could not keep tbe most
delicate broth on my stomach, and at
the end of a mouth I was scarcely more
than skin and boue and was really starr
ing to death.
"Then I recalled how much benefit my
sister had got from Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and decided to take tbeui in place
of the doctor's inediume. It proved a
wise decision for they helped me as
nothing else hnd done. 80011 I could
take weak tea nod crnckers and steadily
more nourishment. In two weeks I was
able to leave my bed. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills were the only thing teat
checked the vomitingaud as soon as that
was stopped my other difficulties left me.
I have a vigorous appetite now and am
able to attend to all the duties of my
home. I praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People to all my friends because
I am thoroughly convinced of their
merit."

Growth of California.
A few years ago some of the sec
tions now comprising the most
wealthy districts of California were In
sage brush. The farmers had no mar
kets for their products. Fruits were
shipped out In carload lots, and those
who could see no future In the Indus
try predicted overproduction. Now
the shipments are made in tralnloads,
and the demand is greater than ever.
WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black Splotches All Over Face Af
fected Parts Now Clear as Evei
Cured by the Cuticura Reme
dies. 1
"About four years ago I was afflict
ed with black splotches all over my
face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching lrrt
tatlon, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that I was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough exami
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. I
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Reme
dies not only cured me of that dread
ful disease, eczema, but other compli
cated troubles as well. Lizzie EL

Ever Hear of "Scotty" and His Record
' Breaking Rider
The story, briefly told, is this: Wal
ter Scott, the Death Valley gold miner,
made the trip from Los Angeles to
Chicago last summer on a special
trait! over the "Santa Fe" in less than
45 hours. That whirlwind train cost
him more than $6,000. It was the
fastest long distance run over moun
tains and plains ever made on any
American railway. It demonstrated
beyond dispute that the Santa Fe
track, equipment and employees are of
the dependable kind. Probably you
wouldn't care to ride so fast You pre
fer the luxury of our three trains from
Utah and Colorado to Everywhere
