HAD HIM THERE.

The novelist Count Tolstoi, as is well
known, gave up literary work to a great
extent and busted himself chiefly with
manual labor and the spread of the "gos-
pei of brotherly love-" A short time ago,
when driving in the street of Moscow he
saw a policeman arrest a peasant because
of some slight offence against the police
regulations, and lead him along the street.
Ordering his coachman to halt, the Count
rushed up to the policeman and a.ked
him if he could read.
Certainly"
"Have you read the Bible ?"
"Then," continued the Count to the
surprised officer, do not forget that we
are commanded to love our neighbor as
ourselves"
The policeman looked at him in aston
ishment for a moment, then began an in
QUESTION of his own.
Can you read2" he asked.

"Have you read the police regulations?'

negative.

A Courteous, Honest and Delightful
Race of People.

The beautiful politeness and courtesy
of the Swedes themselves is a thing that
is very striking to visitors. They have a
large assortment of bows, hobs, courtesies
and hat-liftingS according to age and sex,
but the lifting of the hat to mere acquaint-
ances reaches, l fancy, much lower down
in the social scale than elsewhere in
Europe. 1t looks odd to see the butcher
boy in a blouse deliberately taking off his
hat to the bakers assistant. / suspect,
on examination, Swedish hats would be
found to contain a little extra stiffening
in order to enable them to stand the wear
and tear of these greetings in the market
places.
On one occasion, when going by steam
boat to Upsala, I noticed a very very
quaint example of this national trait. The
steamboat, as it nears Upsala, passes
through many shallow reaches of the
Malar Loke, where the depth of water is
insufficient to allow of the passengers be-
ing landed in the ordinary manner, di-
rectly on to landing stages, and so have to
be taken on shore in small boats. The
ferrymen, on shipping his complement of
passengers would first take a dozen
strokes or so in order to clear the screw
of the steamer, and then would carefully
lay aside his oars, rise from his seat and
take off his hat with a solemn bow to the
people sitting in the stern whom he had
just taken off the deck of the steamer.
He would then row on again and put
them ashore. This did not occur as an
Isolated instance, but regularly every
time the passengers had to be landed by
shore boats. l am afraid even our Eng
ilSh railway guards and porters, whom I
had hitherto imagined to be the best
hammered people on the planet, would
not bear comparison with these natures
gentlemen. Lord Ches. erfeld himself
would scarcely be in the running.
The women of the middle and lower
classes are little if at all behind their hus-
bands and brothers in this matter. Their
good temper and PRETTY behavior are
worthy of all praise. The servant girls
in Delecarlian peasant dress, the cafe
mamselles and the young persons en-
ployed in shops, all make the prettiest
of all possible little bob courtesies, and
