OPINIONS OF GREAT Gty Mm Wko Woadd a firmer Be. AN agricultural newspaper Chicago, bavins; an nounced that It will publish free all advertisements of city persons wanting work In the country, la fair ly twunped with aiipUeatiooa. W letters are In teresting, as indicating a general dlr to escape the crowded, narrow and coofluing routine of city life, and get Into the open air. Bat what la at til more Interesting and won by of attention la the fact that aunoat without excep tion the would be farmers display a decided lata of will ingness to become actual farm laborers. f title the real need of the farmer la for men to do the round work of agriculture, tnoat of those who offer to go the country want to be specialist. They want to belp gather the fruit of California, round op toe cattle on the plains, do dairy work, or raise chickens. The far West has cast Its glamour over most of tbe applicants. Dis tance lends enchantment to rural life. There are hardly any who are wlUlifV to go to work on the farms of Illi nois, Iowa or Kansas. California, Montana or Colorado are the favorites. Tbe letters so far received are typical, not ao much of a genuine desire on the part of poor families to establish homes lu tlie country, as of the yearning of men of tbe middle class for a change, or for adventure. There Is room In the country for millions of poopto, and there will be more and more room, as the Irrigation of tbe West progress-. Tbe hoftfliwa, Incompetent, struggling people who encumber the great cities, might And compar ative freedom In agriculture, but for a poor city man to establish a horns In the country moans grit, hard work, and perhaps Intelligent assistance from without. The spirit of our pioneer ancestors has fallen olT sadly In these day of city civilisation. Chicago Journal Women Gamblers. PROPLH who have made tlie matter a study contend that when the get-rich-qulek microbe attacks women It Is not easily exterminated or made harmless. The phantom pictures which rise and fall with the click of the ticker fascinate them, and tbey chance with the recklessness of veteran dreds of women give their orders clandestinely, and tbe fact that they have an Interest In tbe their dally examination of the market reports Is prompted by anything beyond a desire to bo Informed, Is not known to any one save their brokers. These are good customers for brokers. A sigh over a statement showing a balance on the wror.g side, a vow "never to do so any more" or an order given "Juet to get even" Is the usual sequence. There is another class of women stock gamblers In which the bad loner Is largely represented. Tbls class sup ports bucket shop In the residence parts of the city, like the one which was raided a few days ago. When these women win they are happy, but when fortune frowns on them they are "horrid." Tbey want their money back from the bucket shop proprietors. Tbey cry, scold, and Anally threaten to "tell on tbe mean things" who took fbelr mar gins. In order to shield themselves the threat Is not often carried Into execution, and tho bucket shop continues to do business at tbe old stand, taking money from the women who succumb to the temptations of the tape. It Is refresh lug to know that once In a while a woman gets so thor oughly angry because of her losses that she does her share toward breaking up the bucket shop business.- She would never do such a thing If her speculations were successful -hence all good citizens should rejoice when she loses. New York Tributw. Tbe Jews in Russia. IT Is true that the Russian Jews do not engage In agri culture nor work In the field. They are not allowed to do so. They are not permitted to own or even to rent land, and are confined, pausing their lives within allot ted "pales of settlement" lying almost wholly In the cities. They art restricted by arbitrary laws to certain trades. Five-sixths of all the Jews in Russia never leave the pales, and have no ebaiK-e to see, much less to overpower and destroy, the peasant by whose fancied sufferings the am bassador Is bo moved. As a simple matter of fact, the Jews of Russia, as a class, are abjectly poor, and the few of them who are wealthy enough to have money to lend REALLY FINE PANAMA8. Hata that Can He Kntlrelr Hidden In tha t'laaed Hand. The fashion for Panama liaU of the last two or three years has made po ple commonly acquainted with the fact that the tuts are not made In Pana ma, that the term Panama hat 1s only a trade name, and that the beet of these hats cum from Jlpljapa, In Ecuador, suys the New Vork Sun. But there are other lntermtiiig things not generally known about Panama huts. Thus Seimr Franco, who was a can didate for president ut the last ela tion In Ecuador, bad presented to him not long ago by bis friends a hat sold to be the nnct of Its kind In the world. It to to b on exhibition at the St. Uiiila World's Fair with other products of Ecuador. The whole hat, says the owner's sou. who is at Columbia 1'iilversUy, can be pressed so small that It can Is' hidden entirely In tbe closed band. When the hind Is opened the bat will sprii.g buck Into perfect shape Just as If It bad never been touched hh vi lli the most careful manner. In Its making particular care was used Is-cause of the great desire of Heiior Franco"! friends to give him a bat Hint had no equal. It Is ery rare that a hat such as Honor Franco's is see;i In the Culled Suites, and when one Is broiviit here It la not In a reg ular shipment meant to he sold, but In the possesion of some man who bus Just visited Ecuador or wbo bas n-celvcd It as a gift from a native of tbe country. Ernesto Franco, the Columbia stu dent, has one which, though not so fine as his father's Is of a quality not to be Umglit In this country. It came lo him by way of Hie minister In Washington, enclosed In a IKtle cylin drical boa no more than aa Inch In diameter.

On the face of It, to plead the wrongs of the people of Russia at the hands of a small clss, oppressed, corralled and kept under every specie of civil and legal disability- political, social and barbaric persecution of the most detestable character as the Justification for a wholesale butchery, Is absurd. And, of course, they were not peasants they were cltlsens of a capital city, populated by 120,000 people who fell upon the Jews of KlsbenelT and smote them with slaughter, wMle official eyes looked on. Can such a nation claim tbe decent respect of mankind, or Is It entitled to be regarded as a civilized country ? Philadelphia Ledger. Juvenile Suicides. THE Chicago Tribune, which keeps careful records of many classes of abnormal happenings, calls atten tion to the Increasing frequency of suicides of young persons. Suicides In general are Increasing in the country at an extraordinary rate, the number In 1002 being 8,245, which la 1,000 more than In the previous year. At the ratio of Increase for the first three months of tbe cur rent year, the total will be much larger than for 1002. In the latter year the suicides of women were three times as many ad In 1001, and the ratio of increase continues In the current year. Regarding the suicides of young persons, the following Is given as an incomplete record for the last two weeks: A boy of 13 at Marine City, Mich., shot himself rather than go to church; a young married woman only 10 drowned herself at Port Jervls, N. Y., because ber husband of 18 would not give her an Easter bonnet; a boy of 15 at Baltimore shot himself because he bad to work; a boy of 18 at Hamilton, Ohio, banged himself because he wag cheated In a borso trade; a girl of 17 In Chicago poisoned herself because her mother forgot to deliver a message to ber boy lover, and a young man of 18 poisoned himself In Chicago because be failed to find bis sweetheart at home when he called. What Is the matter with our civilization that such a shocking record can be made? Surely, some thing Is wrong. It U a subject that demands the attention of every sorlors student of social conditions. During the last ten years In Europe more than 400 persons under 10 years of age committed suicide. The United States Is likely to surpass this awful record. Boston Herald. play the game of gamblers. Hun stock market, that Speculation. HOMILIES on the evils of speculation are as old as tbe practice of gambling In futures, and evidently are regarded as belonging to that species of "good advice" which nobody ever thinks of accepting. Koine mull who speculate lu stocks or grain or cotton are made of such stern stuff that no matter how unkind for tune may be to them tbey are never driven to despera tion. Tbey are philosophers as well as lighters, and are willing to bide the wheel may restore dalliance with the rare. Many men who are ruined by speculation have neither the means nor the courage to renew tbe fight against ill fortune, while some are utterly crushed and find life no longer worth living. There Is a great deal of pathos In the case of a man who fliuh the wealth which It had taken him years to accumulate swept away In a das through the manlpulatiou of markets by aggressive and resourceful speculators. Baltimore Sun. Apply tbe Golden Rule. ONE of the most distressing and bodeful phenomena of tbe passing years, and especially of recent months, Is the unrest of labor tho frequent and sometimes, at least, seemingly unreasonable Interruption of ac tivity, with the many concurrent evllR. The sovereign remedy for these and similar diseases of the social body was stated very clearly about nineteen centuries ago, but has been persistently self-seeking men. The broad man, the great engineer, has laid upon him a large measure of the responsibility for the ebilmrutlon of the details of the practical application to present day relations of man to man. of the principle of doing to others as one would have others do. Neither the narrow-minded man can put himself other side of the question.

At the I'eeka stage house lieth dead, With his wife and his children twain." Then up and spoke First Sergeant Roes, Who had bunked with Corporal Stowe; "By the glory of God, they shall pay In blood The debt of that dastard blow." They ride till the crickets have sought the shade; They ride till the sun-motes glance. And they have espied on a far hillside The whirl of the Sioux scalp dance.

He was sent to St. Petersburg on n special mission, where, owing to bis good manners and childlike Ingeiiuiousness, lie soon be came popular In diplomatic circles. Ho caught eagerly at new Ideas, ami was always discussing the possibility of In troducing reform Into Turkey. One day the Turk was at luncheon at tho quarters of n Russian olllcer named Blrnedoff. Tbe conversation had turned on the splendid discipline to Is- found In every branch of the Russian service. Birnedoft suddenly rang a bell. "I am going to show you bow me thodical my orderly Is," said he to Mahmoud Pasba. A trim-looking young officer entered the room, saluted, and waited. Blrne doff gave til ni a key and told him to go to his office and get a certain bunch of papers. The man saluted and loft the room. Blrnedoff took out bis watch. Keep. ng hi! eyes tlxed on the dial, he said: He Is going down the stairs; be Is In he street" And then, after a lon pausu, "He lias reached tho war oflice; he is going upstairs; he has entered my room; he has tbe pa pore and lias started to come back; he has reached the street." Another long pause: "He is down at the door; be lu mounting the stalr', be la here." At this mo ment the door opened, and the orderly reappeared and placed the required parcel In his superior's hands. Die Turk returned home and at once began to Institute reforms. A year or more passed, and the Russian officer Klraedoff was In his turn scut to Con stantinople, and became tbe guest of Malimoud Pasha. Count RlrnedoSf," said tbe pasha, at an opportune moment, "I want to show yon what I have accomplished In the way of discipline during the past year, thanks to your teaching. I want to prove to yon that the Turk is aa ca pable of methodical training as the Russian." At the sound of a bell a ft verted ser vant appeared. The paaha spoke to him In Turkish, When tbe man had left the room the pasha took his watch In hand, and said: "Now lie la going downstairs; he Is In the street" A long pause: "He has readied the building where my of-fli-e Is; be Is going upstairs; be Is In my room; be bas tbe papers; he Is coming back " At this moment the door o;ned suddenly and the heavy Kurd reap peared. "Effendlm," said he, with a low salaam, "I can't find my shoes." NEW PRE8IDENT OF LIBERIA. Something About the Black Republic on the Weat Coaat of Africa. Liberia, the only republic in Africa, recently elected a President who Is to serve for a period of two years. Tbe new executive, Ar thur Barclay, comes of pure ne gro stock and was born In Jamaica, In the West Indies. While young his parents moved to Liberia, and be was educated in the schools of the bluck republic. He bas been postmast- aktih h baocxav. er general and sec retary of the treasury and Is a man of liberal views, whose purpose It is to develop tbe trade of the republic and open up the country to the foreigner. Ho will tie tbe 13th President since 1847, when Liberia declared ber in dependence. The republic of LUs-rla, which Is on tlie went coast of Africa and has an area of 30,XiO square miles, with a population of over 2,(K)0,000, was founded In 1820 by the American Col onization Society. Tbls society was formed In 181d for the purpose of transporting negroes from the United States to Africa. Among the found ers were Charles F. Mercer, of Vir ginia; Rev. Ir. Flnley, of New Jersey, and Bishop Meade, whllo Henry Clay was Its president for many years. In 1S20 the society sent out a company of 8 colonists to Liberia, the United States Government co-operating with It Afterward 10,000 colonists were sent to the country, which. In 1847, tie came Independent and elected its first President, Joseph Jenkins Roberts. The constitution Is modeled upon that of the United States. Every black male citizen who possess real estate lias the right of suffrage, but no white man can be admitted to citizenship. Tbe lnliabitants are made up of vari ous trllx-s, for Libera has expanded, chiefly by the purchase of adjoining territory, since its establishment. Some of the natives are pagans, some Mohuniniedans, while among them va rious missionary societies are actively engaged. The climate of Liberia Is dejidly to the white man, who falls a victim to what Is called African fever. Even negroes, born and roared In another climate, suffer on their first lauding from the dangerous miasma. They ssn lieoome acclimated, however; but the white man never. On the other hand the natives are robust, healthy and long-lived.' A Tuuxh Proposition. "You say," she murmured ns she watched the moonlight on the sen, "that I am an angel." "Yen." !

The book will probably appear in the fall with tlie imprint of Dodd, Mead & Co. Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller's account of her ways while watching birds out of doors suggests the reason for her success. She says: "I always wear a plain dark gown and try to become, as you might soy, a part of the land scape as much as possible."

Telling Trees' Ages. The only accurate way to estimate a tree's age Is by the measurement of Its girth," said a botanist "The count ing of tbe rings of oxogenous trees can only be applied to such as are cut down In their prime, for these trees, when they begin to die, cease to add their yearly rings.
