RUSSIAN TAXATION.
me Heavy Burden Laid Upon the Peas.

me Heavy Burden Laid Upon the Peas.
 ants Is More Than They Can Bear.
 The burdens of the peasantry arc very heavy. In Russia the superior classes enjoy many exemptions from taxations, and the public revenue is taken mainly fTt m the peasant classes. The annual redemption money they have to pay to the state for their land is a most serious obligation, and between one thing and another the burdens on the land in a vast number of cases eX- ceed its net return very considerably. Professor Thur states that in 2,000 cases of letting holdings which had occurred in the province of Moscow at the time he wrote the average rent re- ceived was only rubles, 56 kopecks per soul" Qand share,) while the average taxation was 10 rubles, 30 ko- pecks SIepniak says that in thirty seven provinces of European Russia the class who were formerly state peasants pay in taxes of every descrip- ton no less than 927 per cent. of the average net produce of their land. and that the class who were formerly serfs Ol pTfNdlC ON llclN do llONL 1925 percent. of the net produce of theirs.
 Land owning on these terms is man. ifestly a questionable privilege, and the moujik pays his land taxes as the Scotch crofter has sometimes to pay his rent, not out of the produce of his holding, but out of the wages of his auxiliary labor; but the Scotch crof ter, under his system of individual tenure, has one great resource which is wanting to the other-he can always cut the knot of his troubles by throw ing up his holding, if he chooses. and emigrating.
 To the Russian peasant emigration brings no relief. He is born a propri- etor and cannot escape the obligation of his position wherever he may go. He may try to let his ground-and in many cases he does-but. as we see, he cannot often get enough rent to meet the dues He may leave his viii lage, if he will, but his village liabili- ties travel with him wherever he may settle. He cannot obtain work any where in Russia without showing his pass from his own commune; and since, under the principle of joint li- ability that rules in the communistic system. the members of the commune who remain at home would have to pay the emigrants arrears if he failed 10 pay them himself, they are no, likely to renew the pass to a de faulter.
 The Russian peasants are thus near ly as much adstricti gleba as they ever were; they are now under the power of the commune as completely as they were before under the power of their masters, and their difficulty is still how they can possibly obtain emancipation. Sometimes they will defy the commune, forego the advan- tage of lawful pass, crowd the ranks of that large body in Russia who are known as the illegal men" and sometimes, we are assured, by Professor Thur, a whole village, every man and every family, will secretly disappear in body and seek refuge from the tax collector by set tling in the steppes.

Diana of the CrOssyyays,

It was charming picture altogether as Lady Colin came down the vista toward me, says London letter As 1 rose to meet her it was difii"ul; to suppress the exclamation: "Ah. Diana of the Crosswaysl" Lady Colin is a very tall. slender regal woman. Her height must be at least feet inches, but so exactly proportioned is the whole form that there Is no effect of overlapping us smaller mortals. Her complexion IS clear, pale olive, with high color only in the lips and she carries her head royalty. with its crown of jet black hair The feat ures are regular, the eyebrows deli cately penciled She was dressed in a severely plain green cloth costume trimmed with dark fur The perfect lines of her form were not obscured by single fold The tall palm, bend ing graciously, inclining to this side or that, typifed her. At the time of the trial a friend told me she had once met at dinner Lady Colin just after her marriage My friend asked who the beauty was, and on being told she remarked that fate would no doubt give the royal looking lady history. In fact, it is easy to see that Lady Colin was inevitably destined to play role like George Mercdith's heroine. New York Star.

The Wise Man Will Do Well Always to
 Keep in Mind
 That the enemy of man is man. That the fairest flowers fade the soon- est.
 That knowledge leaves no room for chances.
 That pride is never so offensive as when in chains.
 That sealskin sacque does not al- ways keep the heart warm.
 That when men are lonely they stoop to any companionship.
 The darkest cloud often contains the most fruitful showers.
 That an open nemy is to be respect ed, d secret one to be suspected.
 That the pure worship of pure heart is an inspiration and song.
 That there may be loyalty without love, but never love without loyalty. That golden key will often find the way to uu.ocx many a secret drawer. That death is sleepless messenger and life q wakeful handmaid of crea- ton.
 That doing as well as you know how" is all right if you always know how to do well.
 That the fnest-feeling velvety paws of the kitten often cover the sharpest claws.
 That it is often more difficult to ob- iterate traces of spilled ink than drops Of spilled blood.
 That those who are honest and earn est in their honesty have no need to proclaim the fact.
 That it may be well to test the con- dition of a cats claws before stroking its fur the wrong way.-Chicago Mail
