Witted volunteers, have their good side.
The Russian soldiers patience is
boundless; his endurance, his good hu-
NOR under hardship, his capacity for
fighting on an empty stomach and un-
der difficulties, are beyond all praise,
and will enable general who appre-
ciates these qualities to work wonders
with them; and he is probably the
steadiest Of all soldiers under defeat
and adversity. Deprived Of their Of
fcers, a body OF Russian soldiers may
degenerate into a helpless, inert mass,
and be slaughtered by means Of their
very cohesiveness, but they will never
take panic; their history affords none
Of those examples in which mass OF
crazy fugitives fly from danger con
jured up by their imaginations.
In the one phrase Of "God and the
czar': is summed up fearly all Of the
Russian soldiers religion and his phi
losophy of life. God will take care of
him hereafter, and the czar so long as
he lives. When his battles result in
defeat, when his biscuits are full of
maggots, when his clothing is made
of shoddy, he may suspect that his gen
erals are fools, and he may be sure

THRASHING THE SEA.
Two Extraordinary Incidents That Stand
+ Out in History. .s#33s

Two Of the most extra rdinary in
cidents recounted in history belong to.
the lives Of men whose names stand
out prominently as having led armies
in war. It cannot, however, be said
that one of these characters was Of
the true military type. Xerxes !. of
Persia was Of somewhat limited dis
position He could not thrash the.
sturdy Greeks, but he thrashed the
sea. This happened during his inva-
sion of Greece, when he led an army
numb bering - with followers - more,
than 5,250,000 people. By the orders
Of this proud and insolent monarch
bridge had been built across the Dar-
danelles for the convenience of his
host, and as this structure was de-
stroyed by storm he caused chains
to be thrown into the sea and the
waves to be whipped with them as a
punishment for having thwarted his
purposes. And yet historians tell us
that Xerxes was highly accomplished!
The incident has a curious parallel in
comparatively modern history, a SINH
lar action being numbered among
those of that brilliant Bohemian, Cen
1eral Wallenstein. This man entered
. the service of Ferdinand, the German
emperor, who was fighting against the
Protestants. !. At the head Of gigantic
armies Wallenstein performed march
es so rapidly that historians are
amazed; and in 1927 had driven the
Protestant king of Denmark, with his
invading forces, out of Germany, shut
ting that monarch up in his islands.
But the Bohemian had no ships to
cross the Belt, and he was so enraged
at this that he rdered "a bomb rdments
5of the waves with red hot shot.

the days of Peter the Great. In other
nations the soldier fights for his coun-
try, for the idea that is so clearly crys-
tallized lin the German motto, eur
Gott und Vaterland;" but the Russian
soldier fights for God and the czar. To
his mind the czar is especially appoint
ed by God as the syiceroy to. govern that
large portion of the earth called Rus
sia, and devotion to the car includes
all that we understand in the word pa
triotism. - 5.@s#s S..
The peasant class-or moozhiks-
which supplies the great body of Rus
sian soldiers, leads a hard life. In an
atmosphere of ignorance and supersti-
ton, amid dull, somber surroundings, a
Scheerless climate and monotonous vii
lage life, their characters, dispositions
and habits are determined In appear
ance the Russian soldier is usually sal
low-complexioned 1ank in figure, with
straight yellow hair and a heavy ex-
preston of face. His disposition is
gentle and good-natured, even his
brawls being Of the maudlin and fool
ish rather than fighting kind Since
his surroundings from earliest child
hood tend only to destroy his indiyid-
uality, he is incapable Of acting for
himself and utterly dependent upon his
officers, for whom, naturally enough, he
has great respect. He never meets or
addresses an officer without standing at
attention = with his hand at his cap
through the whole conversation, and
until the officer has passed. He does
not even answer a question with a di-
rect Eyes, sir, or mo, sir, 81 but with

sian army belong ex-oficio to the nobil-

ward forms, it cannot be said that the
soldier degenerates into being servile.
Side BY side With the unbending dis
cipline there exists a feeling of good
fellowship between officers and men.

The curious tendency of the queen to
seek comfort in cold is ascribed by
Psychologists to her immense vitality.
This vitality shows little deterioration
despite her advanced years. The
queen sits in cold rooms in the even

through long winter nights and seems
perfectly comfortable. She at. no time
permits artificial heat in the room she
occupies, either as a dwelling or dur

in Summer

Queen Victoria Is kept 'On ice'' dur
ing the hot spells of summer. The
queen is past 80, robust and hale, and
during all her long life has manifested
"a remarkable preference for low tenn
{peratures. It is popular belief that
noble personages are always cool, re-
served, and even more or less chilly

But it is in summer that ingenuity is
taxed to make a climate suitable for
the queens temperament. Fond of
cold, she abhors heat, and the royal
residence, the travelling equipages, the
train, and the gardens are all arranged
in conformity to her wishes
In the morning, for instance, as soon
as the queen leaves her sleeping room,
great shallow pans Of ice are brought
in and stood about, the ice supply be-
ing replenished as fast as it melts.
After the room has been aired the

GOOD PLAYS THEIR OWN
REWARD.

Good plays at the Academy of Music
are their own reward. The manage
ment never brings a good play here but
what it Is richly rewarded. Even dur
ing Lent, oftHmes 1t is difficult to find
a seat the day OF the performance, oil
having been sold in advance. At any
other time, the sign OF Standing room
only is swung early at the box
Office.
The reason OF this is that Norfolk
people do q great deal OF travelling and
see the best plays. When 1t Is consid-
cred that New York Is only one nights
travel away, and n moderately mex
pensive trip. there will be little surprise
point of praising and patronizing a good
show. and condemning a bad or poor
one.
Then Norfolk is getting to be a big
ity. "The Little Minister played here
20 big house Of cultivated and inter
csted people. The same night the Y.
NJ. c. A. Star Course was fully attend
ed The same night dozens OF society
people attended the german at Old
Point. 1t is thus seen what Norfolk
and Portsmouth can turn out in the
way of entertainments, and all of them
we'll patronizcd
1t Is therefore respectfully suggested
that the time is ripe for two theatres
here. One should be strictly first-class.
guaranteeing its plays and charging in
accordance. Then there should be q
theatre given up to variety and kindred
plays. and such organizations and ac-
tors as have not made a record for
themselves. The time is ripe for 1t. and
the people and popular taste demand
it.
While this question is under discus
sion, it might be well to suggest that
