RUsSIA'S MILITARY LEADERS.
In one important respect we are GER
tainly nearer TO the abstract possibility
of war than was the case three years
ago. Then there was not a magazine
rife in the Russian army. But after
much tedious experimenting a definite
selection was made of a weapon known
as the three line" rife. the production
and issue OF which has been pushed
forward with great energy. You can
not order two and a half million rifles

ton of that vast quantity of up-to-
date arms.
In the event of war II is improbable
that the present emperor will take the
field. His eldest uncle. the Grand Duke

plucked from the civil war. If the for
tune of war had declared otherwise, in
stead of one powerful nation with uni
ty of interest, directed from common
center, the spectacle of France and
Germany would be presented on the
American continent with a legacy of
hate embittered by the passions born
of war; on the one side freedom, on the
other the dark shadow of human slav-
cry, with all its blighting influence,
would be arrayed in irreconcilable dis
cord to sap the best blood of the coun-
try and subordinate its energies to the
creation of huge standing armies and
warlike preparations. Freedom of
speech and liberty of action would then
be foreign to America. Instead of
the bright prospects of smiling fu
ture, national thought would speculate
on the probable outcome of the next
war between north and south. Mind
pictures of what humanity and civili-
zation was spared by the result of the
war are aids to proper appreciation
of the priceless heritage bequeathed
by the blue defenders of the Stars and
Stripes. Vulgar boasting has no place
in the observance of Memorial Day. Its
spirit calls for the quiet sympathy that
vibrates every tender-heart emotion
with fervent sense of gratitude for
the fidelity to duty exhibited by the
departed soldiers of the republic in
their heroic and successful endeavors
to rejuvenate freedom with the elixir
of equality and place it on a pedestal
of honor free from the poisonous touch
of slavery. The finest traits of patri-
otism, warmed by the sunny hand of
fellowship, should mingle in the effort
to soften asperities and adorn the vic
tories of war with the garlands of
peace. Between the sections the day
is the years olive branch recalling iden-
tity of origin, impressing community
of interest and pointing common star
of destiny to guide national thought
and effort in one current of advance
ment, and cement, with singleness of
purpose, nation reconciled and
reunited. H.

not, therefore, thing to mourn over
when suddenly the revelation comes
that child or friend has been leading
a life quite apart; that each has known
it's own bitterness, has drunk alone Of
its own cup. The one thing to do is to
keep the source of life sweet and pure
and clean, so that no unclean thought
or purpose may there find root. The
life of father and mother, though un-
known to the child, save as here bit
or there a bit is manifest through ac-
tion or word, may yet be so stainless
and true that, if it were revealed, the
child should find nothing there to repel
its own purity or to overcloud the
heaven which hangs about it's own in
nocence. And the little ones should
be so wisely and carefully taught that
no root of bitterness or unworthiness
should be allowed to spring up within
them. The life and thought and pur-
pose of kindred hearts may run paral-
lei, like pure rays of light, blending at
intervals as some common object
focuses them, then, shining onward as
reflected from unstained souls they re.

OUT OF THE HEART.

It is commonly said that both good
and evil escape from the heart; but
how little escapes compared with what
is forever there imprisoned! 1t is the
Bastile which will never be torn down.
It is the Russian fortress, whose secret
ways none may tread. 1t is the sa-
cred monastery, into whose hidden
crypts none may penetrate, whose hal
lowed walls may never be trodden by
sacrilegious intruder. An English
mans house may be his castle; but
every mans heart is his own impreg-
nable castle, into which he may retire
at will, and from whose silent depths
no human power can drive him.
It comes sometimes with a shock,
the consciousness that heart may beat
against heart, and yet an infnity may
separate them. Our nearest and dear
est, loyal to us in every thought, may
yet live in a world of which we gain
only glimpses now and then. The lit
tie one that has lain close under the
loving mother-heart has hardly devel-
oped the powers of speech and childish
thought before an invisible wall, high
er and mightier than the wall of China,
has grown up between them; and the
most astute parent cannot surmise
what is going on in that tiny breast.
Father and son walk the streets to-
gether, work, read, study, engage in
the same congenial pursuits with sweet
friendliness; and yet their inner lives,
their real selves, are unknown, except
as an occasional rift reveals transient
CLEANS of one soul to the other.
This must be so. It is wise pro-
vision, for even the most transparent
soul would not like to live all abroad
AS the plant must have the rest and
darkness of night, so the soul must
have it's night of silence, its starlit
heaven of peace, where it can hide
from all save the All-seeing eye. It is

TRUE WEALTH.


Once more, as in dream, he sees
The old familiar country lane,
"A verdant aisle, mid stately trees,
Where feathered songsters live and reign.
The fragrant air is full of song,
LAS in some vast cathedral dim,''
Where incense burns the whole day long
And voices chant heavenly hymn.
This wealth of beauty, life and joy
Which Nature spreads with lavishness
Us lost to him, thoughtful boy,
Who trudges on in eagerneSs.
With dOwncast eyes he hurrieS by
Into the world of strife and care,
Without thought of flower or sky,
Into the dusty highways glare.
The vision fades-he dreams again:
Within cty's mighty wall
He sees thronging crowd of men
Before a glit'ring idol fall.
The God is stately, grand and strong.
Of FURNISHED gold and jewels rare;
And over all the waiting thrOng
He casts spell; resist, who dare!
A man kneels there, the boy of DID,
But beauty, strength and grace have fed.
s{WhO worships at the shrine of gold
His soul within is cold and dead.)
But, hark! from out the city's roar
He hears the sound of singing birds.
1t takes him to his fathers door,
"To fields and flocks and lowing herds.'
so happy home! o days of youth!

Too late," he cries, II learn in sooth,
Yere more than fame. or gold can gain."

PATRIOTIC VALUE OF MEMO
RIAL DAY.

Memorial Day, recalling the self-sac-
rificing efforts of unselfish minds to
purge the country of national dis
grace, render perpetual the God-given
right of human liberty and rivet con-
.stitutional government with the band
of durability, has value greater than
the mere ceremOniOus observance of
its functions. The beautiful custom
that prompts each loyal heart to tender
floral tributes as tokens of remem-
brance to the nations departed heroes
fans brighter the patriotic flame and
bids the spirit of emulation arise and
assert it's willingness to re-enact at
country's call the glories of the past.
1t reminds the living that freedom,
nationality and inalienable rights are
the hard won prizes of an heroic dead,
sealed with their blood and intrusted
to posterity to honor and defend.
Memories of mournful yet glorious
struggle are awakened by the sigh of
regret that recalls the sad necessity
that arrayed in fratricidal strife Sec
tion against section and brother against
brother. The mind is infused with a
higher realization of the real worth of
national birthrights and the sacred
character of the principles, in whose
defense the day had its birth. National
heroes claim and receive the unalloyed
affection of the people who enjoy the
fruits of their work and the inspiration
of their example. They exist in a
nations history as ideals of courage
patriotism, or virtue to enthuse the
mind, ennoble ambition and chasten
false pride with the pure love of coun.
try that springs from religious rev.
erence for it's achievements, principles
and character. Their attributes serve
as guides to be followed to the path.
ways of fame, honor and success. In
disaster their names cheers the failing
heart, revives the dropping spirit and
rallies every force to conjure up fresh
efforts to sweep away despair.
In the sunshine of prosperity the

ct security of constitutional rights, but
feebly appreciates the golden fruits

ENEMIES AND FRIENDS.

An ill-natured critic, who, from his
position, is notorious, if not celebrated,
once said, with the most blank aston
ishment painted on his face, "And l,
too, am told that have enemies" SINH
larly, that incorruptible patriot, Maxi
milan Robespierre, complained that his
country did not understand him, and
that his countrymen avoided, rather
than caressed him, and in like way,
too, butcher, with the stain and scent
of blood upon his blue frock, and with
his knife and steel dangling from his
belt, might complain that his sheep did
not gambol into his ghter-house,
and that the lamb did not click the
hand just raised to shed its blood"
But to be a Robespierre one must
have perpetrated some judicial mur-
ders; as for a critic, he often commits
authorial slaughter. "We cannot make
omelets," said the first hero, without
cracking few eggs" So neither critic
nor patriot, nor any else in this world,
can jog along without creating few
enemies.
What surprises each of us is the bare
fact that he has enemies at all. He
does not reflect that if he were the
most harmless person in the world,
which ten to one he is not, he would
still be disliked by some. Between va
rious natures there is marked and de-
cided antipathy. Our very souls go out
and range about the world to meet
other projected antipathies; men dis
like those whom they have never seen.
It is the old story; these wild hatreds,
deep dislikes, brutal, savage feelings,
rise up in our hearts, and overpower
our brains without cause.
This stupid enmity, which we most
of us permit ourselves to indulge in,
works great evils. Shall we tell the old
story of Aristides again? Shall we tell
how Demos, the mob, the untaught
populace in Athens, was tiattered by
being permitted to write on a piece of
she'll the name of citizen they wanted
banished, and how, these shells being
thrown into an urn, the man whose
name was most repeated fell. This was
the first ballot, and Demos liked it.
"Well, one day." says Plutarch, who
tells the story charmingly, ian illiterate
citizen came to Aristides, whom he took
for some ordinary person, and giving
him his shell, desired him to write AR
istides' upon it. Surprised at the ad
venture, Aristidss asked him whether
Aristides had ever injured him?' No,
said he; nor do I even know him; but
it makes me wild to hear him always
called the Just Aristides made nc
answer, but took the she'll, and having
written his own name upon it, returned
it to the man."
Envy makes us strange enemies. A
