lHER WONDERFUL WORK

When the world is At peace one hears very
little Of Clara Barton. When there happi.
ness and prosperity on all sides the few Of
the outside world think of her perhaps as an
old woman, whose days of usefulness are
about over.
When calamity lets loose its wild shrek
for aid the world hears again Of Clara Barton.
She may be old, her hair may be almost
white and her physical strength may be
small, but she has the same broad love of
humanity which led her to many battle fields
to nurse back to life the disabled soldier,
For nine months or more the Christian
world has stood practically silent, while the
helpless people Of Armenia have been
slaughtered. No hand has been raised to
ward of the murderous sword or gun, or
give one iota of aid TO a people whose only
crime is belief in Christianity. But when

The Russian Working Man.

The Mussian workman spends very little
for food, lodging and dress as compared
with the foreign artisan. Coming from
the village. he is very modest in his de.
mands. His food Is very simple, but 1t Is
abundant aud answers to his taste. In
Moscow, for example, the board OF work
man amounts to not more than ten shillings
per month. In order to reduce the cost OF
living the workmen form associations or
clubs. called .'artels" and board together.
An artel II generally formed either of
workmen from the same village or district
or of tie same factory section; they choose
chief, and called '.starOeta." The latter
buy provisions, engage the cook. keep the
accounts, and calculate what each member
of the artel has to pay. The accounts are
then presented to the administration Of the
factory, who pays them out OF the earnings
OF the wOrkmen, The administration fur
nishes the artel with = kitchen, fuel, water
and eating. room free, costing the factory
about two cOpecks per workman. Owing
to such organizations the wOrkmen receive
cheap and good food. The boarding ex-
penses are not, of course, uniform. and do
pend largely upon the earnings Of the
wOrkMen forming the artel. There are
wOrkmen earning sixty rubles (about six
pounds ten shillings) month, who allow
themselves more dainty food, but even
then their board does not amount to mere
than seven or eight rubles month each.
1t Is the custom In many large factories
Tor tho wOrkmen to keep their own prOvis-
lon stores. In such shops the wOrkmen

of the modern playwrights are all

recently said to Paris interviewer:
II would advise them against natural.

are the besetting sins Of the drama Of
these years. The stuff for play1 should
be drawn from the Imagination, which
lifts up; not from real life which drags
down. The great fault with our mod
