A tendency to which history bears
testimony is for large bodies of people
to take. in their popular movements.
the direction of least resistance. This
is the reason why it is more easy to
move people TO war, where some

Tolstoi emphatically rejects the idea
Of beauty as the ultimate object of
art. AT about the same time Brunetiere,
the great French critic, comes forward
in a lecture in which he reinforces
Tolstoi's argument This leads the
Literary Digest" to say that this
simultaneous and independent express
sion Of the same view by two such
eminent writers and critics is a curious
coincidence. We do not find it at all
curious. Coincidence of thought is very
common. When such subjects are un-
der debate in the school of critics, why
should it be counted strange that two
thinkers without mutual knowledge of
the positions of each other should be
found reasoning along the same lines?
The Agricultural Department is about
to inaugurate a series of experiments
and Investigations to ascertain precise
ly what vegetables and cereals can be
grown in Alaska, Under what condi-

The result of this investigation. which

the capacity Of the Territory for main
tanning a considerable population, and
will very considerably influence the
settlement of the country, or discour-
age the attempt to populate it.

tional honor and policy may be made

American blood and the destruction of
American property and the saddling
