Cattle With Spectacles.
Over 40,000 cattle in Russia wear
spectacles. They are of smoke . colored
glass and are used to prevent snow
blindness. Through the snow of the
plains tufts of grass force their way ,
and on these the cattle feed. The
glare of the sun on the snow causes
blindness , and to protect the animals
the spectacles have been fitted over
their eyes.

In the town of Yurieff , Russia , the
wine and spirit stores were recently
close on the occasion of the assembly
of the soldiers called upon to join the

remained open , and from these the
soldiers obtained quantities of balsam ,
which they consumed. As n consequence -
quenco thirteen of their number died ,
and many more are seriously Ill. The
journal that gives publicity to the incident -
cident states that many soldiers arc ,
drinking the poisoned liquid in order :
tlrnt they may escape military serv- I f
