ORIGIN OF "NIHlLISM."
Real Meaning of the Term and Its Mis-
application tn Law Breakers.


TourgieDef, the Russian writer, was the
first to apply the word ''nihilism" person.
ally. In Fathers and Sons" published
in 1861, he calls his hero, BazarOff, nihil-
list. When, in lS62, the Polish revolution
broke out the word was brought into uni
versal use, and since that time it has been
persistently applied to retormers and all
liberal minded persons. Nihilism is de-
rived from the Latin word nihil (hOthins),
giving the impression that persons so called
held no beliefs of any kind; that law and
religion were 10 them unknown Quanti-
ties-things of the past.
The supposed mission of the nihilist is
to break all laws, scatter orthodox creedS
to the winds, and, if necessary, unseat
royalty itself in the accomplishment of its
purpose. Nihilism, at its first inception,
was but a speck on the horizon of the Rus
sian empire, but rs time passed on il as
sumed such gigantic proportions rs to
cause the ear and his supporters the
greatest UneasineSs.
In many cases the term nihilist is a mis-
homer, the persons TO whom it is applied
not belonging to any secret society. In
America, as a rule, Russian nihilism is
totally misunderstood, and is classed with
anarchsn and socialism. This is grave
error, for the ends and aims of these are
totally different.
While anarchism advocates bloOdshed
and socialism aims at the reconstruction
of our social laws, at the expense Of liberal
governments, nihilism is the outcome of
years of oppression, under cruel, despotiC
rule. 1t is the wailing and throbbing of
millions of crushed souls; it is the break.
ing forth Of the long pent up cry for free
dom, for recognition of the peoples
rights. It is not the peasant class, which
constitutes the ma or portion of the czar' S
subjects, which is responsible for the pres
ent condition of affairs throughout the
empire. We must look TO the nobility and
the educated classes, for to them must be
attributed the enormous growth of liberal
ism at present sweeping over the Russian
land.
Only great minds, capable of thinking
and reasoning out the social and political
problems of the day. could aspire to be
leaders in such a gigantic movement.
While nihiEsm received its baptism in
1862, it was by no means the first secret so.
ciety organized to secure to the people some
recognition of their rights rs subjects.
Nicholas assembled the throne through
bloodshed, when the principal streets of the
capital ran red with the blood OF the victims

A Watch for the Blind,

A watch by which blind people can tell
the time by touch has been patented in
England. 1t is an ordinary hurting watch
with smooth enameled dial, without
glass or seconds, and Immediately over
each figure on the dial is small project
ing stud. Extra stout hands are provided
and in order to prevent their catching each
other when pressed small screw or stud
is put through the head of the minute
hand, which projects slightly on either
side. The stud keeps the minute hand free
from the dial, and permits it to PASS safely
over the hour hand, from which it is easily
distinguished. - New York Commercial

Americans Worthy Examples.

The American citizen is not content to
exist as mere animal. Physical well
being does not limit his desire or aspira-
ton. He is especially solicitous for the
welfare and advancement of his children,
and freely depletes a limited income in
their education and training for career
in life, often upon other than ancestral
lines. This tendency may become excess
i've, and is already to some extent creating
distaste for useful industry aud desire
for conspicuous position, for accumulation
without labor and speculative rather than
productive occupation. Thus the average
American lives upon high plane, exciting
the envy and emulation of people of other
countries and inducing extraordinary inn
migration. PittSburg Dispatch

out of a cellar on Grand River avenue got
stuck, and the driver began pounding the
one which seemed to put forth the least
effort. 4 passing pedestrian stopped to
demonstrate, and of course it wasn't two
minutes before there was a row. He clinched
with the driver and they struggled about,
and directly the pedestrian was backed
against the horse he had befriended and re-
ceived kick which plowed him into the
dirt and stopped the fight.-Detroit Free
