In connection with the Peace Con
grcss at The Hague it is interesting
TO review bit of Russian history. In
1915, after Napoleon I, prisoner on
St. Helena, had ceased TO menace the
thrones of Europe, Alexander /. Of
Russia formed a plan as humane as
that of the present Czar, Nicholas II.
The union which he organized was
called the "Holy Alliance" Russia,
Austria and Prussia being the chief
parties concerned. The protested OBJ
jcct of the union was to base the 20
litical order of tho world upon the
principles Of Christianity. Gar and
Emperor and King pledged them
selves TO rule in the spirit Of love and
to stand by one another in their efforts
to maintain the peace of Europe. Al
cxauder acted in good faith He sin
cerely wanted to be just and loving
father TO his people, and yet the
Holy Alliance proved anything but
holy. IT was, in fact n league of
oppression, and 80 far a. it could, it
crushed ont the rising spirit Of liberty.
A partial explanation of this, so far rs
Alexander was concerned, is TO lie
found in the fact that he could not
stand the test OF conspiracics among
his own people. II certainly re-
quires n very grand nature 10 be able
to do that. His was not grand enough,
and so Alexander the Liberal became
Alexander the DespOt.

ANIMALS CAN COUNT.
The Horse the Best Calculator Among
Them, According to Russian.

An ornithologist. after many expert
ments on parrots, holds that they can
count up to four. 4 Russian physi-
experiments 10 birds. dogs, cats and
horses. He concludes that crows can
count up to ten, dogs to twenty-four,
cats only to six, but horses carry OF
tho palm as calculatorS.
In village of the Government of
Pokow. DR.. TimohefT studied n horse
belonging to n peasant and found that
the horse always stopped Mt the end
of its twentieth furrow. 1t did not
stop when tired, but only after every
twenty burrows. 1t was so exact about
this that its master reckoned the
number of burrows that he had made
by the number of times that the horse
halted. The animal counted for the
man. In another village DR. limo.
fieif saw horse that calculated the
versts RUSSIAN miles, by the number
of posts on the road, and the time by
the striking of the clock. One day
th's physician was going to Naldai,
when at the twepty-second verst one
of the horses hitched TO the troika In
three horsed carriagel stopped sud
denly. The driver got down from his
seat, gave some provender TO the
horse and drove ON. This horse had
been trained by its master when very
young to get food at every twenty five
yersts. There can be no doubt that
the horse kept count by the posts
along the road. 1t had made IA mis-
take this time of three versts, but it
was not it's fault. Along The road
there were three other posts besides
tho telegraph posts which looked very
much like them. Hence the error of
three versts.
This same horse was accustomed to
get its food in stable near which the
town clock rang at noon. DR.. limo
iieif himself saw the horse prick up it's
ears and listen, but droop it's head
dissatisfied when less than twelve
strokes sounded. On the contrary it
manifested all kinds of satisfaction
when it heard the twelfth stroke Of
the bell, neighing for its provender.

NoveI Views on Pain ana Anger.

G.. Stanley Hall, President Of Clark
University at Worcester, Mass, aston
ished the members of Chicago
school of psychology recently by ad-
vanciDg ONE novel views on the edu-
cation of children. Pain is the chief
stimulus in evolution, nc said, as re-
ported in the Chicago Times Herald,
and where pain is removed growth is
retarded. Children who do not suffer
pain become sour and selfish, and it
is n great mistake 20 allow them TO
grow up too tender hearted. In some
exceptional negative and inaniriate
cases the badness in them needs to be
stimulated. To this end it is not such
a bad thing for boys TO fight, as it
develops their physical aud moral
courage. Fear stunts the soul of
children, and the time will come when
the educator will begin by diagnosing
the fears Of children. Anger is
necessary part Of character and edu-
cation, and where a child is deficient
in it he should be melted TO it, For
this reason he approved of boxing, az
it excited anger and gave opportunity
for learning TO control it. Finally,
Dr. Hall said he was not sure but
ignorance was good thing. and
should in some cases be cultivated. 90

From the point of view of most
Portlanders the moon was launched
the other evening on its Journey to

earth on the shoulder of Atlas. Then
it iourueyed diagonally up the slope

much success. Stockton shipped

and Sacramento 3O3 A stimulus to
the industry in the vicinity of these
cities is given by the fact that tho
northern fruit ripens earlier than the
