near savagery Is that land. Only
II per cent of the people can read,
and amid 1OO,000,O00 population,

greater proportion than among

only the brutal methods prevail.
The knout, the chain, the prison
van and whip and the scaffold are
the means restored to when order

soul singing an air of liberty. The
throne can not be lifed upin such
a land until the people are, and
the process is fearfully cruel and
slow. Yet, naturally, the native
Russian is kindhearted, simple
minded and gentle. Within
the race are elements out OF which

slow and cold as that of the glac-

A Successful Man.

One of the brightest advertising men
IN Chicago made his rise through the fall
of another. 1t was some years ago when
as a mere boy he was tramping the
streets of Chicago in search of any sort
of job which offered. His last nickel
had gone for food, and one afternoon he
was walking through a down town alley,
tired and disgusted. Happening to glance
upward he saw q boy leaning out of a
window. In moment the boy lost his
balance and fell to the ground with the
customary dull, sickening thud. The
discouraged man hastened to the boys
side and discovered that death had been
instantaneous. Looking up at the open
window from which he had fallen the
man counted the stories and then sought
the stairway near by. Mounting the
stairs he dashed into the editors room,
for it was the office of The Prairie
Farmer, and blurted out: "Do you want
a boy:' Looking up in surprise the edi-
tor answered, "No, we have a boy"
Then the man said, "I'll bet you haven't
your boy just fell from the window and
is dead. I want his place." Investiga-
tion found that the man was right, and
he was engaged for his pushing way.
Since then he has risen by degrees and
made money, and very few of his friends
know how lie gained his place.-Chicago

Wine Worth Drinking.

Wine worth 100000 bottle is a
drink that in expense would rival the
luxurious taste Of barbaric splendor when
priceless pearls were thrown into the
wine cup to give q rich flavor to it's con-
tents; yet in the city of Bremen just such
q costly beverage may be found. In the
wonderful wine cellar under tho Hotel
de Vile, in the Rose apartment, there
are twelve cases of holy wine, each case
inscribed with the name of one of the
apostles. This ancient wine was depos-
tied in its present resting place in the
year 1924, 26G years ago. One case of
this wine, consisting of five oxhofs of 2O4
bottles, cost 500 rix dollars in 1924. In
cluding the expense of keeping up the
cellar, interest on the original outlay and
interest upon interests, one of those OK
hofs would today cost 555, ,G57 $40 rix
dollars; three single bottles, 2,213,S12
rix dollars; glass, or the eighth part of
a bottle, is worth 340,476 rix dollars, or
about e54 ,476; or at the rate of $40 rix
dollars, or e55, per drop.-New York

The Czar,s Family.

The empress of Russia has her daugh-
ters much with her, and has not even a
so called governess for them. Her own
personal attendant and her lady of honor
serve also for them. In part this springs
from the emperor's love for simplicity Of
life, but in part, also, that they try to
surround themselves with as few people
as possible, 30 that as little as may be
concerning their private life should trans
pire to the outer world, of whom they
are, and not without good reason, much
afraid. The empress superintends in
person the education of the two littlo
grand duchesses, Xenie and Olga, aged
respectively IA and 6. The emperor in
his leisure moments tries to do the same
for his boys. Especially he loves to give
them music and dancing lessons, for he
thinks himself great musician, and has
prediction for the cornet-a-piston.-

Mrs, Harriet neec,,er stove.

Mrs. Stowe has been described as a
brilliant, fluent convcrsationalist, and
withal for that kindliness of disposition
in society which she transmitted to the
world through her pen. Her smile has
always been especially winning. Giving
to the world SO much fiction, it is to be
expected that she would be subject to
fits Of abstraction. On one occasion a
party of young ladies was invited to
meet her at luncheon. Mrs. Stowe ap-
pcared, but not the expected flow of en-
tertaining words, the outpouring of the
wealth stored within. Her principal re-
mark was request for some one to pass
her the bread. The ladies were disap-
pointed of course, and it was subsequently
discovered that she was at the time in
quite different company from that which
really surrounded her. She was having
a tete-a-tete with the characters of "Old
Town Folks"

The Old Man Changed His Views.

When was a boy went to visit an
austcre old uncle of mine, who kept a
country store in a Florida town. He
was never known to laugh out loud or to
take much amusement out of anything.
There was big bumblebees' nest in the
eavestrough of the old store, however,
and the darkies that were always hang
ing about used to stir it up occasionally
to make fun. When strange darky
would come around who did not know
of the trick, the boys would get him
near the nest, stir up the bees behind his
back, and then quietly get out of harms
way and watch the stranger jump when
the bees stung him.
This trick, when successfully carried
out, was one of the very few things that
ticllled old Uncle Ben, and he would
watch its performance with anxiety lest
it should fail, and would then retire to
the back part of the shop and shake for
ten minutes with internal laughter,
which only found outward expression in
his quivering stomach and shoulders and
swapping black eyes. This had been re-
peated scores of times, when one day
there came hitch in the proceedings.
One bee lit just on the old mans upper
lip, and gave him sting that raised
lump as big as a pigeons egg there in
about one minute.
Old Uncle Ben retired to the back of
the shop, as usual, without giving any
sign of his smart, and followed him to
see him shake with laughter. There was
no shake this time, however. The old
man called me to him and said: "See
hero, my boy, you run out into the back
yard and get me lump of cold, wet
clay from the well side" l did1so, and
he sent me away again, saying that he
wanted tho clay to stuff up rat hole
with. I hid behind barrel, however,
and saw him clap the clay to his mouth,
take his head in his other hand, and
stamp around and swear to himself, till
l got scared. Then he took out some
ball blue from a box, wrapped it up in
his handkerchief, dipped it in pail of
water and rubbed it on his lip till lie
looked like an Indian OH the war path.
Finally he calmed down, washed HIM
self off, and came out looking sourer than
ever.
Tho next day the boys found most
promising victim, and were preparing
to play the trick OH him when Uncle
Ben came out and shouted: "Now, then,
you lazy rascals, Won't have you driv-
Ing off my customers with your scurvy
tricks. The first boy that touches that
bees nest will get cowhido over his
bacl!" And the darkies never could un-
derstand what caused the old man to
change his mind so suddenly about a
trick that had amused him SO many
times.--New York Tribune.

Tremendous Force of Sea Waves.

Some idea of the power exerted by sea
waves may be formed from the follow.
ing facts: An iron column, twenty-three
feet long and weighing 5000 pounds
part of lighthouse being built-was, in
course of operation, landed at Bishop
Rock, England, and, storm coming up,
was left lashed by chain at eacl, end to
two strong eye bolts. Three days after,
when the storm had abated, it was found
that the great column had been moved a
distance of twenty feet and landed on
top of projecting rock. A blacksmith's
anvil weighing nearly 200 pounds, and
sunk in a pit three and one-half feet
deep, had been washed entirely out of
the sink and landed near the column of
iron above mentioned. : 1t had been float
ed nearly 200 feet after being lifted out
of the holc.-St. Louis Republic.

Her Preference,

The fondness of Phillips Brooks, of
Boston, the distinguished rector of Trim
ity church, for little children is well
known. Net very long ago DIR. Brooks
was calling on friend in Cambridge,
who is the happy mother of three chill
dren-two boys and little girl. DIR.
Brooks soon had all three of the little
folk about him and was questioning them
in regard to their views of an occupation
when they should be "grown up" One
boy would be an architect, he said, and
plan Queen Anne houses; the other
thought he would be poet, like his late
distinguished grandfather. "And what
would you wish to be, my dear?" said
the clergyman to the little 4-year-old
daughter of the house. 81 think, sir"
she replied modestly, as she caressed her
doll, "that should like to be mother" :"

A FANCY.

Once, wandering DER untrodden fields
Far from the hustle of the town,
Bound by the spell which fancy wields,
lclimbcd hill and, looking down,
Saw, In the valley far beneath,
A darksome wood, where oak trees tall
Swayet in the south winds gentle breath,
As throbbing bosoms rise and fall.
But when reached the vale, alas!
And on the very border stood,
A mighty hedge could not pass
Grew NIL about the tempting wood
1caught within the golden ray
OF buttercups. The rippllng trill
OF brooks and fountains in their play
With birth-songs seemed the wool to fllL
And, as listened, OH the wind
There came voice, rs one who sings:
"oh, mortal, leave the world behind,
And scale the hedge on fancy's wings.
Behold, thou standest on the edge
OF that enchanted fairyland.
Thy doubts have raised the mighty hedge,
Twill vanish now at thy command"
sighed as one who doubts his dream.
saw the thorny hedge grow less;
And fainter grew the mystic gleam;
The hedge passed into nothingness,
The mist Of eventide arose,
Within barren vale stood
The day was sinking to its close
There was no dim enchanted wood.

A Whaling Experience,

Some of the experiences of whaling
are not pleasant to remember. One es-
pecially is impressed upon my memory:
l was bow oarsman in a boat fastened to
a big sperm whale. The line was going
out so fast that the harpooner was pour
ing water on it, and he turned to me
and handed me the cup, saying, ''give
me some water" Idipped I it overheard
and turned to give it to him. To my
horror, he was gone; not man saw him
60 over, and not sound did he make.
The rope In some way took turn about
his leg, and he was jerked over SO quick
that he no doubt never knew what hurt
hin.-Letter In Philadelphia Times.

A Mtnister's Experience with Bees at Mid.
night in a Country House.
Twas put to sleep in the spare room,
or guest chamber, of country parson-
age, where the local minister's thrifty
spouse had stored her beehives for the
winter, choosing it, doubtless, as room
where the temperature was sure to be
equally chilly, and where nothing would
disturb them. They stood behind a pre-
tentious screen that cut off one corner of
the room, and they were forgotten by all
the family when was put in there to
sleep. Provision had been made for
warming the room, on those rare occa-
sions when such thing was done at all,
by one of those things called a "dumb
stove" because it has no opening in it,
suppose, known also as "drum,"
through which the heat from the parlor
stove below passed on its way to the
chimney. The parlor stove had been lit
to greet the visitor, and the result was
that the bees thought spring time had
come, and I was awakened from my
sleep by a,buzzing sound.
"Gracious," said to myself, "have all
the horse flies i'll the country made this
room their winter home and been thawed

down among the covers, hid myself as
well as could and awaited develop

The good wife had heard my call for
help and reused her husband. He got
up and knocked at my door. calling to
me if l wanted anything. My answer
from deep under the bedclothes sounded
so mysterious that he promptly burst in
the door, thinking that some one was
strangling me. He had a candle in his
hand, and the bees began to gather
around the light. Not thinking of what
he was doing he brushed them away,
and was instantly stung in about ten
places at once. With a yell lie dropped

of summer ewes, while through the sweet
ness comes the sound of Stella's voice,
and through the gloom shines the star
light of her eyes. I think that we loved
each other from the first, though for a
while we said no word of love. Day by
day l went about the place with her, ac-
companied by little Tota and Hendrika
only, while she attended to the thousand
and one matters which her fathers ever
growing weakness had laid upon her;
or, rather, as time drew on, I Iattended to
the business and she accompanied me-
All day through we were together. Then
after supper, when the night had fallen,
we would walk together in the garden
and come in at length to hear her father
read aloud, sometimes from the works of
a poet, sometimes from history, or, if he
did not feel well, Stella would read, and
when this was done Mr.. Carson would
celebrate short form of prayer, and we
would separate till the morning once
more brought our happy hour of meeting.
So the weeks went by, and with every
week I grew to know my darling better.
Often I wonder now if my fond fancy
deceives me, or if indeed there are women
as sweet and dear as she. Was it solitude
that had given such depth and gentleness
to her? Was it the long years of COM
muning with nature that had endowed
her with such peculiar grace, the grace
we find in opening flowers and budding
trees? Had she caught that murmuring
voice from the sound of the streams that
fall continually about her rocky home:
was it the tenderness of the evening sky
beneath which she loved to walk, that
lay like shadow on her face, and the
light of the evening stars that shone in
her quiet eyes? At the least, to me she
was the realization of the dream which
haunts the sleep of sin stained men; so
my memory paints her, so hope to find
her when at last the sleep has rolled
away and the fevered dreams are done.
Atlast there came day-the most
blessed of my life-when we told our
love. We had been together all the
morning, but after dinner Mr.. Carson
was so unwen that Stella stopped in
with him. At supper we met again,
and after supper, when she had put
little Tota, to whom she had grown
much attached, to bed, we went out,
leaving Mr.. Carson doing on the couch.
The night was warm and lovely, and
without speaking we walked up the gar.
den to the orange grove and sat down
there upon rock. There was little
breeze which shook the petals of the
orange bloom over us in showers, and
bore their delicate fragrance far and
wide. Silence reigned around, broken
only by the sound of the falling water.
