THE car is much incensed because
Count Tolstoi wrote letter descrip-
tive of the horrors of the famine,
which has been published in many
European journals. AS punish
ment the ruler of the starving nation
has ordered Tolstoi to forsake his
work amid the famished ones and re-
tire to his estate. The population Of
Russia is, in round numbers, no.

Ia ps it would be the wiser course for
other peoples of the earth, no matter
how sympathetic or how benevolent

ance from the stricken people of
Russia until famine and suffering
shall prompt them to rise in their
might and overthrow and grind into
the dust the execrable rule that is a
blot upon modern civilization.

The Chicago Tribune sounds a note
of warning which school officials all

be found jumbled, poorly arranged

quently with the alleged teaching of
some simpering miss of sixteen or
seventeen summers, which makes
futile the efforts and expenditures OF
the patrons of the schools. The
Tribune says: "Here are two nice,
easy little problems taken at random
from one Of the arithmetics which
boys and girls 8, 10 and II years of
age are studying in the schools Of this
city: How much money must a man
invest in United States 6's at Ill,
when gold is quoted at 1109, in order
to have a dividend Of $2,210 semi
annually? Henry Ivison, through his
New York broker, invested certain
sum ia New York 6's at 1919 and
twice the amount in United States
SIS at 9S1, brokerage in each case be-
ing one-half per cent. His income
from both sources was SO, 34S. What
was the amount invested in each?
Any experienced bank cashier, broker
or practical accountant can solve
these problems, and, of course, boy
10 years old ought to be able to dc
the same-else why does he go to
school? BY all means let a few more
new studies, with now and then an
important fad for a side-dish, be
added to the common school course.

IT is not surprising that through
out Europe and in America among
well-informed persons great concern
is felt for the health Of Pope Leo
XIII. Among Protestants scarcely
less than among Catholics he is re-
spected and beloved; and the older he
grows the greater and better he
seems. He is the friend of republic
can France, and he loves America,
often speaks of her people, and al
ways kindly. His insight is remark
able. So wise and so benevolent, so
sincere in purpose and so charming in
manner, his death would not only be
a loss to the Catholic Church but
also to the world.

THE succulent oyster is said to be
in danger of extinction owing to the
wasteful destruction Of the oyster
beds. Must the oyster go, as the

gone? There are millions of acres in

MORE DOGS THAN MEN.

Glimpse at Picturesque Out-of-the-

Siberia. 1t was a picturesque spot,
and looked doubly so in the warm
sunshine, the Oriental-looking little
church, with its white walls and
green cupolas, standing out in brill
liant relief against the blue sky. In
a short time the police officer arrived,
accompanied by his clerk and couple
of Cossacks, and we thus received our
first visit from official Russia.
The Russians, physically, are un-
doubtedly fine set of men; nearly
all l have seen so far have been above
the average height. This officer
topped them all, for he must have
stood at least 6 feet inches, and
with his tall astrakhan kept and long
fur coat seemed huge fellow, and a
very good-looking one to boot.
The village certainly was a great
improvement on any of the others we
had yet come to; the houses, even,
had some pretense to architecture,
and looked very pretty with their
quaint wooden porticoes. Dogs, as
usual, seemed more numerous than
inhabitants, and had it not been that
i knew how peaceful they are, except
among themselves, 1t would have re-
CURED some nerve to pass through
them, for the row they made was
simply awful.
In the evening the police officer
dined with us on board the Phoenix,
and very pleasant fellow he seemed.
He told us that his jurisdiction ex-
tended over an enormous extent Of
country, which, on consulting the
map, we found to be no less than five
times the size of Great Britain, ex-
tending right away to the Arctic
Ocean-an awful and desolate tract,
which he was obliged to visit twice a
year. During the winter, he said,
the cold was so intense that at times
he had experienced as much as 40 de-

process of creosoting is not an expen-
