Until within. recent years the Russian frontier on the German boundary was guarded in a surprisingly weak manner for a nation so completely under military rule as the czars great empire. But now there Is a strong cordon of garrisons only a few miles apart, and a careful patrol service between them. The .chief duty of these garrisons is to prevent smuggling, and the introduction of nihilist literature into Russia. The duty is hard and monotonous, and the czar does not like to have his best trained and most effective regiments sent out along the boundary line. For the most part these garrisons oonsist of young recruits from the eastern and central provinces of Russia. They are seldom expert soldiers, and the lax discipline they are under is further weakened by their excessive drinking. Their small pay is doled out to them twice a month and every kopeck of It is Immediately expended in vodka. After the voka is gone they employ their spare time in making raids across the boundary line into the German farm yards to supplement their .meager rations. Along the entire line between these two counboundary tries there is a series of great open plains. Over these an icy east wind blows in winter, and the only way the soldiers can keep alive on their patrol is by the building of wood fires between the posts. Even then the patrols frequently have their limbs frozen in their monotonous marches to and fro. Hence it is not at all difficult to smuggle across the boundary, and, indeed, it is "suspected that the soldiers often add to their small pay by making deals with the Smugglers and turning their heads the other way when they pass by. Two very novel attempts were made last spring by the smuggling frawhich proved successternity, both'-oful. In one case, late one night, a band of men in Germany began' snowballing some villagers Yon Russian territory, and the Russians returned the attack, In the snowballs thrown from however, yards of fine Brussels lace were concealed. This method most proved successful, for even the secret police did not discover it, and the guard of the frontier certainly had no idea of what was going on. Quite as efficacious was the bringing of thousands of nihilist proclamations through Silesia under the very eyes of the garri-- J son. These proclamations were in the hollow staves carried by la body of men who, passed themselves off as pious pilgrims entering Russia on a sacred jourf Ger-man- game brand m lad hip of cat tl.

Africa, the wonderland of science, has within her. dense forests and roll-i- n uplands more curious and interesting birds than are found in an equal area in any other part of the world. Those most ingenious feathered architects, the weaver birds ,are represented in numerous varieties, and are generally diffused over the southern districts of South Africa. The birds and their curious nests, figured in the illustration, were photographed by Dr. Emil Holub, the distinguished Austrian savant and explorer .recently in 4his country. Somewhat like the tailor bird of Australia, the weaver bird is provided with a bill which makes it marvelously adept at constructing the hanging ball of grass which constitutes home, swinging safe out of reach of prowling animals. The nests are usually in colonies, and are hung to trees which grow over rivers'or marshes. These weaver birds make very cunning, though mischievous, pets. Lay-yarthe naturalist ,kept a number of the birds in a large cage for some time. They became very tame and would answer readily to the call. When they were supplied with cotton or thread they would weave it most industriously into the bars of the cage, forming a dense mass, impossible to unravel. They perform their work entirely with their bills, clinging the while to the side of the cage with their powerful claws. I d, 1 In Natal the weaver birds are gre- garious, and are troublesome to all cereal crops, as they live there almost entirely on grain and grass seeds. Along tbe coast they are exceedingly fond of sucking the nectar from tbe cap6 broom, a thorny tree which bears G. SAMUEL A.

Minnesota Scholars Engage In worthy Work. & Praise- Minneapolis Journal: The children and various things in which they are concerned are now absorbing the attention of the Womans Improvement league, as is quite natural, as the active membership i3 made up largely of mothers and teachers, and this is their common ground of special Interest. Yesterday, at the meeting of the Young Mens Christian association. Miss Wertz, chairman of the committee for the destruction of the Russian thistle, schools had reported that thirty-tw- o been engaged in this work and had during the year destroyed 1,140,631, an average of twenty to each scholar. The prizes were awarded to the Douglass, Van Cleve, Corcoran, Prescott, and Clinton schools. Honorable mention was made of the Lyndale, Clay, Motley, Bryant, Greeley,' Schiller, and Washington. The prizes will be pictures adapted to the grades, suitable for hanging in the school rooms. The curfew ordinance, which was appointed as the topic for discussion at the meeting was taken up quite at length. Mrs. Robert Pratt reported on the investigation which she had made at the request of the league. The ordinance is in use in sixteen towns of the state, and is most successfully operated In Stillwater, the largest town that has adopted it. The women passed a resolution indorsing it and pledging their support to an effort to get such an ordinance passed here. The matter of ascertaining the number of children who are not attending school was appointed a subject for the league meeting of next month. Practical Tooth. You wish to Old Bullion What!

The eggs are white, more or less spotted and Llatehed with dry, spots and patches. The throat of one of the eagles which had been killed, was found to contain frogs and fish; he was sitting by the rirer ,clase to the waters edge, evidently fishing. A striking peculiarity of the tawny eagle is that in the adult bird the most of the feathers are a portion of each feather being rich rufous and the remainder dark purplish brown. The hammerkop, or rain doctor, a member of tlie stork family, is one of the most remarkable of African birds. Its name njaka, in the native dialect has been given it on account of its peculiarity of screaming loudly before a rain sets In. It is also called the philosopher. One can observe it for hours, walking up and down on small woody places along a river bank. During its meditation tbe hammerkop frequently shakes its head, but will not utter a sound. Often its noiseless walk will turn suddenly into a wild dance, th cause of this abrupt change of behavior being the arrival of its mate, just come from adding tbe finishing touch es to the large and curious mud nest, which the pair have been for several weeks busily constructing near tbe river bank. The nests are usually in the forks of trees, are about two feet high, and measure from eight to nine feet in circumference. It is really a rainproof hut, and so well built that. It lasts for years. Sticks, bones, large stones and various materials are ce-- j mented into the mud. The entrance is from six to eight inches square, tho walls being from five to seven inches thick. On a number of occasions Df Holub found other birds occupying tbe deserted nests of tbe hammerkop. One was occupied by a South African orvl, incubating its three eggs; and in another locality a pair of Egyptian geese were found In possession of a nest, in which they had laid nine eggs.
