DISTINCTION.

There is dignity in distinction.
The woman OF distinction recollects
this in her speech as well us in her
manner TO her, words are weighty.
Her vocabulary is large, though it is
devoid of slang. She speaks prettily
too, not with atfectation, but just as it
should be spoken, daintily pronounc-
ed, clearly articulated, nicely and care
fully chosen as to words. Her voice
is well modulated, so that the subject
she discourses upon is aided, not alone
by her intelligence and her language
but by tones, the expression OF
her voice, talent more potent
than ordinary folk are apt to recog-
nize. Yet with all this, she avoids
pcdantry-or, as it may better be call
ed, mannerism- recognizing, as she
does, that this, though at the opposite
end of the pole to slang, is eXaggeration
and that distinction and cxaggeration
of whatever kind, are quite at Ell.
nifty.
Well informed upon current items
the literature ofthe times, and the arts
of this and other days, her converse.
tion is intelligent, as we'll as interest
ing; nor is she so obstrusively self-op-
inionatcd that she must needs Law
down the law upon every point, in.
stead of allowing herselfan opportunity
of correcting her views and moderat.
ing her conclusions.
1t is to educate their children to
tread the path of distinction that mo.
theirs should be on the aler'. Exam
pie is the best and surest model, but
example does not alone accomplish
all. From It's very earliest days in
the nursery, the dominant note of a
child's coming manner is struck.
Teach it the appreciation of distinc-
ton and general courtesy of true po-
liteness, the reverence of age and au-
thority, the usual and sustained good
conduct of a well bred man or woman,
and many persons in the future will
thank you sincerely for your fore
thought and wisdom.

NEVER SATISFIED.

What a great torsy-turvy world it is!
No one appears to be more than half
satisfied with his or her individual
lot, the rich want to be richer, the
poor are very ambitious to be rich:
the single long to be mated happily,
while those matrimonially joined alas
all too often envy the spinisters and
the bachelors. Unrest seems to be
the keynote of finde steele existence,
and there is apparently but one state
that is altogether enviable and with
out ambitions that cloy, namely; the
state of ignorance.
Yet why should one want to 90
through the world absolutely uncon-
scious of its opportunities, even
though such opportunities elude our
grasp at every turn. Learn content
ment and life assumes an entirely new
and pleasing phase. The woman who
writes to us and says 81 am tied at
home by the cares of my two baby
daughters, l never 60 anywhere, |
never see any one, my life is hum
drum,,' does not realize that in that
existance so.called hum-drum she is
out of many tragedy that results
from the other sort of living she 50
much envies.
The home body, the wife and moth
er whose spere is limited by the walls
of the nursery and whose gayety ex-
tends only to an occasional church-so-
ciable, has no idea in her discomfort
that she is absolutely envied by the
gay butterfly who finds social ambi-
tion the bane of her existence. Little
Mrs. Stay-at-Home looks out the win
dow and sees the prancing steeds of
Mrs. Lofty before the great mansion
across the way and she sighs and per-
haps picks up the youngest hopeful
with just the slightest tinge of impa-
tience in her manners, never knowing
that Mrs. Lofty would give every
earthly possession to have baby
voice call her "mother."
"What are dances, teas, fine gowns and
gorgeous functions" she thinks, ''in
comparison with the bliss 80 bounti-
fully bestowed upon the little neigh
Dor with her loving husband and sun
ny-haired babies?" All, no, Mrs. Stay
at-Home, you cannot know the heart
ache and the pain that fall to the lot
of those whom you so ardently long to
be like. In your sheltered harbor you
cannot even imagine the dangers that
assail the vessel that is outside on the
raging waters. The very nature of the
life you long for means temptations
that you do not dream of, and the des
truction of many tender illusion that
will be yours life long. Do not envy
that other lot; it is you who are to be
envied, for, no matter how dull the days
may seem to you, they are not, as too
often happens in Mrs. Lofty's life,
capped by regret, remose, and a knowl-
edge that she has reaped a harvest
only of Dead Sea fruit.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
BY WILLIAM REID.

"The last word in the eastern ques-
ton is Constantinople?" So stated
Lord Derby twenty years ago, at that
time the British secretary of State for
foreign affairs, and it is this lucid and
succinct phrase that has been the guild
ing-star of successive ministers, and
explains England's attitude toward
the east. And what was true then is
equally applicable to-day. In the fact
of the existence of Constantinople there
is ample cxl lanation Of the free and
opcn-handed manner in which Turkey
can carry on her wholesale massacres
in Armenia and laugh to scorn those
nations who demand of her that she
shall live up to the eXactions of pre-
vious treaties: for she knows full well
as of yore. that, in spite Of the fact
that she has long been designated as
the sick man of Europs," she is in
little real danger.
If lor Constantinople we read not
m rely the city itself, but that part of
Turkey in Europe bordering on the
Black sea and the sea of Marmora, un-
derstand the real point to be: "Shall
or shall not Russia have it," we have
the whole eastern question in nut
she'll
Stange as it may seem, although it
is question that has embroiled all
the great European nations, either di-
rectly or indirectly, it is, when sifted
down, of vital concern to but two.-
GreatBritian and Russia. Yet in the
abomil able and farreaching system OF
European intrigue and diplomacy not
merely there two nations, but those
to whom the settlement of the ques-
ton matters little or nothing, are SO
allied and bound that at this moment
Nhen there is need of concert of action
in suppressing crime against Christen-
dom, it is impossible for them to move
hand or foot
One need but look at the map to-
plainly understand the fears that haunt
British diplomatic minds when there
is a tremor of more than ordinary pow.
er in the smouldering earthquake that
may outburst with fearful violence at
any moment.
The acquisition of Constantinople by
Russia would not only double, but near-
ly treble, the mighty power which sh.
holds at her command. To all intents
and purposes she is at present much il
the light of an enormous giant, who
has suffered the loss of his limbs, for
comprising, as she does, nearly one
half of Europe, she is practically cut
off from all navigable seas. Her short
coast line on the Arctic ocean and the
Baltic is practically useless for nearly
ten months of the year, being frozen
over. But she touches salt water
nearly fifteen hundred miles south OF
St. Petersburg, at the Back sea, and

age the straits.
In another spot, and a vital one too.
Russia might seriously menace
Great Britain. 1t is only natural to
suppose that nation which has extend
ed its dominions through strife, and
endeavor, and pressed its march of
conquest through the deserts of Turk
estan, would look with greedy eyes
upon the rich nations of the south,
facing the waters of the Indian ocean
Persia and India. The possession of
Constantinople and the Dardanelles
would mean virtual possession of the
Sucz canal, and it is only reasonable
to suppose that Russia would be per-
fectly able to maintain there a fleet,
with base of operations near at hand
in the Black Sea that would be able to
cope with any that England might be
able to spare from her home defences.
With this point gained it would then
but step to let loose the semi-barbor-
Q S and Anglophobist tribes of Turkes-
tan, Afghanistan, and Beluchistan up
on the luxuriant plans of India and Per
sia
With the Suez canal closed, Eng
land could forward troops for the de-
fence of her Indian empire cnly by the
Cape of Good Hope route. Meantime
Russia would be able to conquer the
whole country. and turn the vast army
of natives upon any invading army,
for, whatever the Indian soldier may
be at present, his fickleness of purpose
it too patent to need demonstration; he
would be fully as willing to serve a
Russian master as an English one.
If Great Britain is to retain her In
dian empire, collision between her
and Russia seems not only possible,
but assured. There are many to-day
N the British government who do
lot think that the possession of her
Indian empire adds anything to her
power. She has never derived any
real benefit from it, and the Indian
expenditures exceed the revenues.
Still, it is not reasonable to assume
that such facts will carry any weight
with the government, or with the En-
glish people. The sacrifice of nation
al dignity would be a step that no min
istry, however daring, would at
tempt.
And it is absolutely essential for
her very existence in the cost, and the
maintaining of her Indian empire, that
she should prevent Russia from gain
ing Constantinople, whoever else may
secure it. Nor, if such an attempt
should be, will Great Britain remain
idle, v neither she can secure the con-
cert of other nations or not. She is
now engaged in the tast of staving off
the inevitable crash,-a sufficient, ex-
planation of her unwillingness to inter-
fere in the A armenian atrocities, for her
ministers and diplomats know only
too we'll that the spark is at times
dangerously near the powder, and they
are determined that at England's door
shall not be placed the blame for the
firing of the train that would precipi-
tate European war outrivaling any
i'm history.

SPRING REQUIRES

That the impurities which have accu-
mulated in our blood during the win
ter shall be promptly and thoroughly
expelled if good health is expected.
When the warmer weather comes
these impurities are liable to manifest
themselves in various ways and often
lead to serious illness. Unless the blood
is rich and pure that tired feeling will
atfiict you, your appetite will fail and
you will find yourself "all run down."
Hoods Sarsaparilla tones and strength
ems the system, drives out all other
impurities and makes pure, rich,
healthy blood. Hoods Sarsaparlla is
the one trne blood purifier and the
best spring medicine. Be sure to get
only Hoods.
The self controlled man will direct
his efforts to avoid word or action
while anger is active. The advice,
"When you are angry count ten" is
founded on a true knowledge of this
emotion, for it's instincts are to speedy
and violent action; if these are denied
to it, it will gradually al'ate in power
and finally cease. No one ever regret
ted delay Of this kind.
