Russian refugees in Paris are in general
people OF a kindly and humane temper and
certainly not naturally inclined to violence
They give theimpression of being represen-
tatives of a race worthy of a very high civ
iIization, and which is nevertheless gov
erned like the degenerate races Of the east
There is an evident discrepancy between
the laws and the men. No force can pre-
vent this state Of things from falling into
ruin. And certainly this immense empire,
these 100 100000 of inhabitants, this slow
sure and indomitable propaganda repre-
SCENTS a mysterious and terrible force-a
force that will surely astonish the world
and have an extraordinary influence upon
the destinies Of the European race.
The world has there an ineommensura-
bic unknown quantity, an epopee in the
germ, which will be the establishment OF
our sons, terrible perhaps, or consoing and
-F,Ffffiific, as considerable as the prodigious
dissemination of Europe in America, as
Tar sounding as the French revolution.
But in what form and in what cortege OF
bloody or pitiful events will it be devel
opedf This Is the secret Of the future, the
enigma Of the great Sphinx, which none
shall guess and none shall read--until at

where Babies Arc Buried in tho Snow.
The Swedish child OF barn compare the
Yorkshire barn and the Scottish hairnl, Is
sWaddled IN more complex fashion than
the German. Il is wound about with SIX
inch wide bandages. sometimes with the
arms free and sometimes not, sometimes
the legs included in the whole bundle, but
usually swathed separately. The band
ages are additionally supposed to make
the limbs and figure grow straight. The
bandaged barn is then wrapped In pillow
and tied about With ribbons aud bows like
tho German child, except that frequently
his arms are free and his legs are shortly
avd stontly suggested by the tucking In Of
the pillow. After that he may be fastened
latwise to another pillow, and slung per
pendicularly from a supple pole stuck In
the wall, 30 that he looks like very queer
fish indeed, fit to be shown outside the shop
Of an angling tackle maker.
Like the German, the Swedish child al
WAYS wears a cap, which Is borderless and
Of special fineness for its first Sunday,
when it is christened. Then also it wears
beads upon its neck and gorgeous gar
ments with gay bows Of ribbon, all Of
which are provided by the godmother, In
the remoter parts of both Sweden and Nor

THE SPIRIT OF work.
steadfastnoss to Ideals Is the True PR
ninle Of the Higher Life.

steadfastness to Ideals Is the True Prin-
ciple Of the Higher Life.
On the part of faithful workers the spirit
Of work must ever consist Of a constantly
careful adherence TO the truth. This is
not the highest way TO WORK. It is always
easier to copy the work Of others than to
work from nature, whether the creation
belongs to the highest art or the lowest
kind OF manual labor.
The usual aim of worker is to follow
the best accepted models, and to secure
perfect imitation is his highest ambition.
He has no belief in his own thought sim
DIV expressed. He takes his idea from this
authority, and his method Of transferring
it to the minds OF others from that. He
tries to please the eye, and creates forms
striking, snowy, even beautiful-with the
beguty Of skillful imitation.
He tries to charm the ear, and utters
fine, fanciful phrases, sonOrous sentences,
words which appeal to the imagination
and show a wide knowledge Of the produo-
tions OF other people But this is never
the way to reach the heart, for the heart Is
satisfied only with the truth, and II the ex-
preston is not true to the thought, then 1t
is falsehood, and the nobler the thought
the worse the guilt OF the caricature.
Such work answers for passing human
needs. II has often a fair body. But il It
has no soul Of its own it cannot live, and
though used in lieu Of that which is better,
when the need that used il dies 1t dies too.
The other sort Of work is slow and pain
full. Once begun, there is no more rest for
the worker. Though he labor with I'M
ceasing effort, he sees more and more
clearly how feeble is his expression OF the
truth he would have It declare He works
with heart that falters and with hands
that tremble as they move. Ali very poor
and weak must be our best attempts, yet
to work nearer to the truth In each mo
ment Of our working lives is the divinest
blessing we can ask To reach It Is Of the
things hoped for-not seen. But It is the
things not seen which are eternal.
The work Is slow. Il Is a life work.
What better life work can there bef The
work Is painful. Il Is through much trib-
ulation we enter the kingdom For mo-
ment, Is the struggle to be compared to the
victOryi The work Is difficult. Again
and again are we thrown back, bruised
and faint, TO cry, ''Who can endure to the
endP
But hard and toilsome and slow though
il be, we must labor. Steep and stony
though the path we must climb It, BY
and by, when no longer through a glass
darlxIy, but face to face, we read the mean
ing Of all the hardship, the slow growth
and the bitter suffering, then out Of the
temple our human hands have built shall
shine out the spirit Of truth, which. we
waited for with an inexpressible longing.
For we must SOW with painstakipg zeal
and patient abiding, We must water Z
ten with tears. Il Is only God who give
the increase.-Harper' Bazan

A departure in firing dynamite or other
high explosives in a shell and from an or
binary gun has met with great success in
Manchester, England. Mr.. J. E. Bott is
the inventor. Instead OF the cumbersome
machinery necessary to furnish the eom-
pressed air to drive the projectile, M. Bott
supplies a shell containing highly COM
pressed air in its rear portion. The gun
used is a breechloading smoothbore.
When the shell is entered, the action Of
firing forces a pin inward at the base Of the
shell, thus tearing hole in the retaining
valve and hberating the compressed air.
This drives the she'll from the gun with
wonderful force. It does not heat the gun,
makes scarcely any noise, produces no
smoke and has e great range, and the alb
sence OF fOuling enables it to be used con-
tinuously.
Such a combination Of valuable qualities
would seem to revolutionize all previous
work in ordnance and the study Of smoke
less powder.-New York Recorder.

fectly delightful.
Being a bit Of cook myself arranged
with my host to spend the next forenoon
in his kitchen. The potato is composed al
most entirely of pure starch. To make
this starch agreeable to the eye and the

point to about 216 dogs. Then, after boil

pot, put the latter on the hob, and thus
for about fifteen minutes she thoroughly
dried them. The result was amazing and
delightful. went home, and made a
series Of careful experiments. You cannot
steam a potato into perfection unless you
inclose the steam so as to raise its temper

Potatoes must always be boiled in their
skins and in a pretty strong saline solu-
ton in order to get them in perfection, de-
llghtful to the palate and easy of digestion.
After such treatment they may be made
into soup; they may be baked or roasted
(for a few minutes only in their skins;
they may be mashed, cooked la maitre,

Affection Of Men and Women for Dogs.
A liking for domestic animals, particu
larly for dogs-these appear to own virtues
that many men do not-is an amiable quail
ty denoting sympathy and benevolence. lie
who hates dogs is apt TO be at heart a mis-
anthrOpe; he who abuses them is a greater
brute than they. But there are degrees Of
liking; there are attachments to animals
It seems, that transcend reason and tres
pass ON the confines immemOrially as
signed to humanity Such are the attach
ments which many women feel or feign
for dogs Of the most diminutive and igno
Bile kind Men in general Of the dog fan
cying order fancy dogs Of size and dignity,
such as St. Demands, mastitfs, spanielsi
settlers, collies, hounds. They make com
panions Of them, educate them, and get
great pleasure and comfort from their in
telligence, fidelity, affection. But they do
not treat them as they would their dearest
friends, or as superior beings. They neither
idealize nor adore them.
It would be well if the same might be
said OF the peculiar canine sympathy OF
many women that manifests itself in so OBJ
noxious form. In the streets you meet
them bearing miserable ours in their arms,
and generally prattling to them in a silly,
sentimental way, as If anxious to advertise
their folly. Occasionally they put theiI
burdens gently down, and, holding cord
fastened to their collars, permit them
selves to follow wherever the ours may
lead. They are prone to such comments
and soliloquies as; "Where are you going,
darling FidoW "You mustn't act SO
naughty, sweet Blanehe;" Don't do that,
my Beauty" "Your mistress won't love
you, precious Pet, If you behave so badly"
Sometimes they translate such phrases into
baby talk, unconscious, it is to be hoped,
Of their maudlin fatuity.-Junius Henri
Browne IN St. Louis Globe-Demoerat.
