HABITS OF TOLD VILLAGERS.

New Workers Whose Appearance Is In

 "You can tell the old Villager' as far IS you can see him." said the veteran New Yorker, shifting his cigar. "There
 IS section of the town embraced in the old ninth assembly district known as the old Village the inhabitants of which have certain distinct character
 sites unmiStakable to the practiced eye. I can tell an Old Villager' on Fifth avenue or anywhere else as quick as set eyes on him.
 ''The Old Village was originally q suburb, though now down in the heart of the city. You will find the tobacco whiskers' and corner grocery politics Town in that neighborhood to-day in quite as primitive state as they eX- isted seventy-fve years ago The tobacco whisllers' arc the village adornments of the old-time tobacco chewer-a deep stain running down from the corners of the mouth. You will always note the tobacco whislzers' in country towns, from hamlets of old fashioned Yankeedom to clustering ranch houses on the Rio Grande. But in my mind they are associated with village politics.
 If you should goup in a Connecticut village and drop in at popular corner grocery you would see from a half dozen to a dozen old fellows with to bacco whiskers' sitting around the stove discussing politics and the science of government You will be surprised, however, when I tell you that the same thing can be seen to-day right in the heart of New York. There are just as primitive people to be found in the Old Village as were ever seen in any coun- try town. I can take you where the same kind of men sit around the gro cery stove regulating tho government and reforming society every day. They belong to the older New York-seem
 by some mysterious process to have re mained fixed while the rest of the world has moved on. Like their counterparts everywhere they are set in their ways and stubborn in their l opinions. Now and then you will come | across members of the younger genera | tion who have broken away from the | confines of the old Village but they carry with them the apparently inef faceable imprint of their carly sur l roundings "-N.

A Pennsylvania Idea.

A lawyer of Pittsburg-John H. Ste
venson has the honor to be his name-has
drafted and sent for introduction into
the Pennsylvania legislature bill that
is worthy of notice. 1t is bill provid-
ing that no man addicted to the habit of
drinking Intoxicating liquors shall be
appointed to any statutory Office in that
state. Being addicted to the habit of
drinking Intoxicating liquors" is inter-
preted by this act to mean that man
has been publicly intoxicated within one
year previous to his appointment. The
word publicly" leaves a large hole in
this would be statute.
Then Mr.. Stevenson's act names the
officers whom it is intended to affect.
They include administrators and guardi-
ans. commissioned officers Of state mi
htia, policemen and firemen and all Off
GERS created by special law or statute.
This would probably include teachers in
the public schools if such a thing had
ever been known as a schoolteacher's
getting drunk. The peculiar feature of
this would be law is, however. in its
postscript or last clause, 1T will not
affect members of the legislature.
Why not members of the legislature?
There can only be one explanation. Mem

French Courtesy.

Not being of that noble company
who come abroad to lie about their ma
tive country, have had no reason for
refusing to see things which are better
done in France than in America. And
ole thing the French do better than we
is--t'iry behave themselves better in
public, writes Ida M. Tarbell in the
Boston Globe.
She finds there is among the poorest
laboring people of France a l1indliness
and courtesy that gid their rough path
with sunshine and make a foreigner
marvel The French love children; they
like to see everybody about them sunny
and happy; therefore they take every
means to make everybody happy. In
tho very shops the children who come
on errands are treated with tender DO
likeness. France must be the paradise Of
little children.
The writer finds the French really
more interested III others welfare than
the people of our nation are Once she
dropped a coin between the Stats upon
the floor of Paris omnibus She coulds
not pick it up with her gloved hand east
ly. Seeing this, a French working wom-
an sprang to the rescue instantly and
fshed the money up with her ungloved
hand. The common people make way
for one another, bow to one another and
treat one another constantly with all the
courtesy we are accustomed in this coun-
try to see only among the best bred peo-
pie in a parlor. One thing-handshak-
ing-is overdone in France It is car
ried to the extent of being a nuisance.
But if we could engraft upon our COM
mon, everyday manners this courtesy and
kindness without the handshaking,
what a delightful country ours would bel
The pretty phrases of politeness, defer
ence and good will which most people
save for social gatherings are on the lips

and good wishes is what all |

Cause of Russian Famines.

Stepnlak assures us there is still fam
Inc IN Russia, famine dire and terrible.
In the upper Don and upper Okla region
100000 people need relief again this
year, In Kama and 1he provinces of the
middle and lower Volga 3, ZOO, 900 are in
restitution. In Bessarabia last year the
people had plenty and helped their fell
low countrymen bravely. This year the
drought ruined their crops, and they
themselves stand in need of the help
they so generously gave to others last
year. Stepniak of course blames the Rus
sian government for this. He says the
taxes annually wrung from the peasants
leave them with not enough food to tide
them over even one season. The govern
ment is unable or unwilling to right
their wrongs. Freedom" says Step
MAX, lis the remedy"
But writer in the Edinburgh Review
tells a different story. 1t will be OBJ
served even Stepniak admits that drought
caused the famine in Bessarabia. The
writer in the Edinburgh Review tells us
what caused the drought. Both the writ
ers agree on one point-that there is no
hope OF permanent relief soon for the
hapless peasants of Russia. The cause
of the restitution is not politics, how
ever, according to The Review writer
1t is simply and solely that for centuries
Russia has been stripping her hillsides,
valleys and plains of the trees that pro-
tected her rivers and streams-in word.
deforestation.
The woods were cut away from the
headwaters of the streams, the streams
dried up, leaving the bare fields to be
sand swept in summer and snow swept
in winter and desolated, until Russia is
becoming like the desert Of
central Asia. Central Asia, now the
home of few wandering savages tor
tured by alternate cold and heat, was
once land of magnificent fertility. So
was Palestine; SO was the whole region
bordering on the Mediterranean. Defor-
devastated all.
The only hope for Russia is in the re-
foresting of her lands. How fast the
process Of ruin has progressed may be
told from one fact. Peter the Great built
and launched his first ships upon the river
Woronesch. This stream is now a mere
rivulet. Russia is gradually becoming
overwhelmed with sand. The moral
can draw for themselves,
those Americans who are seek
ing to cut down every piece of woods in
this republic.

Elizabeth Mailman died at the age of
sc in Pennsylvania recently. Her death
was the result of a fall in which she
broke her collar bone. Up to two or
three years ago Mrs. Mailman had gone
west to Illinois nearly every summer to
visit her brother. She was the mother
of ID children. Only for the accident
that caused her death she would proba-
bly, have visited the Worlds fair this
summer and taken in all the sights with
her clear, strong eyes. That is the right
kind of an old age to have, the kind that
the whole human race will have when it
is civilized. Meantime we are glad we
have such people as Mrs. Mailman to
show mankind the right way of grow
ing old. Good rest to Elizabeth Hall

When the vessels already authorized
by congress have been completed, our
total reconstructed navy will consist of
AZ vessels. Twenty-Five of them are
either finished and in commission or ap-
preaching completion. They include the
following designated classes-namely:
Armored cruisers, protected cruisers,
monitors, battleships and gunboats, with
one vessel, the Vesuvius, which is of a
type peculiar to itself. 1t combines the
functions of harbor defense ram and a
torpedo cruiser. When all the 40 vessels
are completed, the United States will
rank as the fifth naval power of the
world. The countries that will outrank
us are, in the order named, England,
France, Italy. Russia. Germany will be

had sunk SO low that even in 1886 we

The HERALD sincerely regrets the
misfortune that has lately befallen
Governor Mcconnell. The failure of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Co. at Mos
COW will severely cripple the gov
ernor who has always proven him
self a liberal and a public spirited
citizen. The loss will be felt by
the entire state. There is a lesson
to be learn in the failure, hewever.
Politics and business do not go hand
in hand. The cause of the failure
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Co, will
we believe, be found to be attribut-
ed to this fact. Mcconnell has
withdrawn large sums of money
from his business of late years to
carry on his campaigns. He has
also given up mis- attention to poll
tics and when the master mind that
built up the splendid business at
Moscow was withdrawn from the
concern, it crumbled and went to
ruin. Business and politics will
not mix.
