sia, have formally decided to peAatAnu
for The exemption from this dagrudine
penalty Of all peasants WHO have
learned to read and write. Cuont Tua
stoi, with the ardor natural TO the
artistic temperamena, cries ''6hamei''
upon their nfggard asking, and, IN en-
article beaded with that word, very
broadly hints that while the peasant.
for the last three-quarteus Of a ceD
tury, has been steadily advancing, his
masters have tn some respects failed To
keep their place in the van Of the march
toward civilization
Count Tolstoi is foremost euthmfty
on the life Of the peasant, and the spap-
linens he gives in this article Of the
abuse of the power of fiogging by the
small fry Of offlcialdom are certainly
striking. These insignificant members
of the lower governing ranks have no
uniform. but, when engaged ON official
duties wear some kind Of outward and
visible sign of authority, generally 9

happened to have the sign of office ON
at the time, q fellow villager uas duly
fogged, although his only fault ap-
pears to have been that he overlooked
the medal which converted an ordinary
neighborly difference of opinion into
an insult to the car! The poor fellow,
Tolstoi relates, consoled himself with
the remark that "Christ suffered
stripes, and bade us suffer, too"
There are, however, many in Russia
who think that the poujik is still suR
ficiently brutal to make the entire
abolition Of flogging @ measure of mis-
taken humanity, and Tolstoi's cry Of
Shame" upon the moderate reform
proposed by certain ze1nstvos will,
doubtless, be met by the not unnatural
reply. that Tolstoi Is before all q lit
erary artist, with all the artists nattve
scnrn for practical measures which fall
short of the ideal aimed at. The par
tial exemption from floggtne which
practical men desire would certotn2y
prove very powerful stimulus toward
popular edEation, even'as compulsory
service In the army keeps the Ruasian
universities filled to orerfowtng With
men who, in a large number Of caees.
would do the state better service In
other ways than by learning discouteut
in a sphere untitled to their natural
capacities or station In life.-London

lives long enough to enter the ring the
next day, but he Is usually so weak
that the bull makes short work Of him.
WOMEN IN THE RING.
ON the day set apart for the women
bull fighters there are women only III
the ring. The picadors ride In on the
equine wrecks garbed In the costume
Of the Spanish knights of the middle
ages. The women look very handsome
and ride with considerable grace. Fol-.
foot, who wear wonderful cloaks. and
enough ribbon to stock small shop.
They group themselves SO that the
swirlinE mass of variegated color will
aggravate the bull. After short
pause, in comes the matador with q
naked sword In her hand. She. OF
course, Is the queen Of the day. The
right hand holds the sword and In the
left she carries the muleta. u slender
stick with a bit OF scarlet silk at
tached. The picadors take up posi-
tion In the center Of the ring with their
long lances held firmly.
Then the bull Is driven In. This Is
critical moment. The experienced ones
I'm moment can tell II the bull Is
natural fighter or whether he Is peace
ably inclined. If the former. they
know that they will get their moneys
worth in blood. If the latter, they
have their doubts. The best fighting
bulls are supplied by the duke of Ver-
aqua. the descendant Of Christopher
Columbus. who visited this country
during the Worlds Fair. The dukes
income Is supplied by this business.
II the bull Is quiet. and shows no
disposition to attack at once, the plea
dOrs ride around him, prodding him
where they can with their long lances.
The chulos excite him by the flashing
Of their gorgeous colOrs. 1t Is not In
the bull nature to stand this for any
