ORIGIN OF "NIHlLIsm."
Real Meaning of the Term and It's Mis-
application to Law Breakers.

Real Meaning of tho Term and Its Mis-
application to Law Breakers.
Tourgiepef, 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, a nihil-
ist. When, in 1852, the Polish revolution
broke out the word was brought into uni
versal use, and since that time it has been
persistently applied to reformers and all
liberal minded persons. Nihilism is de-
rived from the Latin word nihil (nothing),
giving the impression that persons so called
held no beliefs of any kind; that law and
religion were to them unknown quaint
ties-thiEgs 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 it's first inception,
was but a speck on the horizon of the Rus
sian empire, but as time passed on it as
susned such gigantic proportions as to
cause the car and his supporters the
greatest uneasiness.
In many cases the term nihilist is q 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
anarchislh and socialism. This is a grave
error, for the ends and aims of these are
totally different.
While anarchism advocates bloodshed
and socialism aims at the reconstruction
of u 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 n recognition of the peoples
rights. 1t is not the peasant class, which
constitutes the major 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 u the social and political
problems of the day, could aspire to be
leaders in such u gigantic movement.
While nihilism received it's baptism in
1862, it was by no means the first secret So
ciety organized to secure to the people some
recognition of their rights as subjects.

Looking for a Kiss.

The late DR.. Austin w. Thompson was a
very courtler with the gentle sex of all
ages, and when he was presented to little
christine" one day, or she was presented
to him, rather, he kissed her hand, after
the old fashion. Then what docs little

DUELING IN p
Methods of Settling Affairs of Honor in
the Mikado's Kingdom.

the Kingdom.
A German magazine published in Toxic
contains an article by DR.. Mort, q Japanese
gentleman, on the forms of dueling in
vogue in former times in Japan. 1t would
be an error, he says, to think that the duel
is an exclusively western institution; Japan
also has had it's duels in the best sense of
the word. There was the same high re-
gard for personal honor, and the same
single combat for life and death before
witnesses and with equal weapons; there
was, above all, the so called iEki-uchi, a
single combat, fought very much in the
style of the Homeric heroes, in front of
armies arraycd for battle.
Distinguished from this public combat
was the duel for private reasons, which
was generally considered an act unworthy
of praise. But an offense directed against
one in his capacity of samurai, or soldier,
was objectionable. A challenge was given
instantly by word of mouth, or subse-
quently in writing; the choice of capon
was II matter of course. Seconds were not
named, the supposition being that a knight
could not possibly act contrary to honor
and be guilty of treachery when engaging
in such a contest. a supposition rarely
found romeo
A variety of the duel was the staying of
an enemy III revenge, which differed from
the orsican vendetta in the prohibition of
treacherous assaults. This was directed
against the slayer of ones parents or
prince, according to the C%onfucian precept
mot to live under the same sky with the
murderer of ones parents or lord" The
law silently approved such an act, and in
one case the authorities actually released
a girl from prison to give her and her hus.
band an opportunity Of avenging the death
of her brother on his murderer.
Quite harmless and not devoid of a Ger.
ain sense of humor were the acts of ven
geance perpetrated by deserted wives upon
their successors in the hearts and homes of
their former husbands. According to the
consideration the respective parties en-
joyed in society three, five or more women
were hired for the contest in question, an
equal number for each side, and the sides
were headed by an aggrieved lady and her
successful rival. No man could take part
in the proceeding except the old servants
of the two houses, who transmitted the
challenge and its acceptance.
The choice of weapons rested with the
deserted wife, who chose either sticks or
the bamboo swords used in fencing. This
contest was as interesting and harmless as
it was emphatic and noisy; it relieved the
pent up hatred on one side, and gave, per.
haps, the coup de grace to the honeymoon
on the other. After some time the middle
men who had effected the former and re-
cent marriage steppedforward, and a recon,
Citation scene was enacted over the broken
bamboo swords of the battlefield. This
custom, however, had but short duration
at the end of the Sixteenth century,

Carking Care.

"1t's not because we like it that we hus.
tie so in our business" said Il leading Bos-
tor merchant. you have no idea of the
great responsibility of such a business as
this. TO be sure, it brings wealth; but
what is wealth after all? Money in itself
is of very little count. | wouldn't give

The uneratcful Reagt.

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