height from which to view the world,
his eyes are bad; and for all the contag.
ion OF good will and brotherly love
which he breaches, his own heart is not
warm enough to make us forget in the
fervor Of his belief the fallacies con-
tanned in it. Neither the truth nor the
error OF his teaching stirs US very deep
ly. The reaction OF his doctrines is
cold, and the very Indictment to better
things which he breaches as the great
glory Of true art fails to beat in the
blood. This failing, almost pathetic to
one who has felt the astonishing power
of Tolstoy's earlier writings, would not
be 80 noticeable were it not the very
shortening for which he condeus what
we call art. In "What is art?' the
genius, though still wonderful, is
broken and scattered, not masterful like
the genius OF the great artist who in
time of supreme intellectual vigor gave
US Anna Karenina." The power of
the man holds our interest, but does
not bring US irresistlbly to his conclu-
sions. The thought comes to US many
times in reading the book that ToIstoy
has outlived his power. Where he
should command and inspire, he irri-
tates the reader or leaves him cold, and
the sermon fails.

Tolstoy's Theory Of Art.

The prize essay in the Century's com.
petition for college graduates Of 1899 is
printed in the June number Of the mag
azine. The author is John Albert
Macy, A. Harvard University, aud
the title Of his paper is "Tolstoy's Moral
Theory of Art"
The large task he sets himself is to
prevent art from wandering out Of the
road Of good healthy life into the quag-
mire Of moral stsgnation. Thus it is in
the field of ethics that the main part Of
Tolstoy's discussion really lies. The
book is sermon on art, in the course Of
which many of the deepest problems Of
ethics are touched upon or treated at
length.
Now, sermon should appeal to our
emotions, and should stimulate US to
richer and loftier purpose. Viewed in
this aspect, Tolstoy's book is hardly sue
csssful. Instead Of the power that wins
and persuades, Tolstoy's strength in
many parts Of this work takes the form
OF mere violence. One is reminded that
the author lie old. Lecturing from the
mount Of threescore and ten, he has
none Of the errors Of young theorists,
nor at the same time has he the en-
thusiasm Of youth, which often atones
splendidly for error; he shows rather

There had been Chinese ministers
before all of them men of good abil-
Ivy; all Of them men Of high standing
at home; and all of them so little in
touch with the affairs of the country
to which they were accredited, that
they were regarded popularity as OBJ
jects Of curiosity-it Is to be feared,
sometimes as objects of derision by the
untbinking. The first of the list,
Chen Ian Pin, was accredited to the
United States in the administration of
President Hayes. and then followed. In
succession, Cheng Tsao Ju, Chang YEN
hoon, Tsui Kwo-yin and Yang-yu. So
far as the public was concerned, one
Of these gentlemen was the same as
another. Few, except the clerks in the
State Department, could remember one
of them without consulting the record.
1t was known in general way that
there was a Chinese legation in Wash
ingtc1, that there was minister, pre-
sumably heather, that he had attend
ants patterned after himself, that their
ways were not our ways, and that their
god was not our God. One Of the
earlier in the list-which one does not
matter now-thought to enter into the
social life of the capital, and gave a
reception. Invitations were issued, all
in due form Preparations were made
on a generous and hospitable scale,
and when the night came the well-bred
Christians of Washington poured down
on the old Stewart Castle which was
then occupied as the legation, and
swarmed over it like an untamed
horde of Boxers. Some came by invi-
tation, more without. They crushed
and crowded through the rooms; they
battered the furniture; they assaulted
the supper-tables in columns and
squares, seized the champagne bottles
from the hands of the helpless walters,
smashed the necks of the bottles to
get at the wine more quickly, and al
together showed as little consideration
for their host as If he had been a freak
in museum. They did not mean to
be rude, and many of them were heart
lily ashamed Of themselves afterward;
but for years it never occurred to most
people that the minister from China
should be treated with as distin-
guished consideration as the represent
alive Of any other power. IL. A. Cool

II the average small boy knew what
a hard time birds have to rear their
families under the best conditions he
would hesitate to disturb their nests,
even II there was no law to threaten
him with punishment If he did so.
There was a patient pair of robins,
for instance, who built their first nest
more than six weeks ago in low
apple tree in the orchard. Presently
there were two blue eggs in the nest.
Then came the first catastrophe. Next
morning the nest was empty. On the
ground under the tree lay one of the
eggs with two holes picked in its shell.
That was the work of big, sneaking
bluejay, If one may Judge by the fact
that the same afternoon the robins
were seen chasing a scolding jay about
the orchard and that the picture of
the jay has long been in the birds
rogue gallry.
Immediately after the destruction of
their eggs the robins set about build
ing a second nest on another limb of
the same tree. They got so far as to
have three blue eggs in this prospec-
tive cradle when red squirrel came
down one afternoon from the oaks adj
Joining the orchard and made robins

Then a third nest was built and on

meadows and woods all about, but so
far they have done finely, and on Sat,
urday last the elder Of the two was
already able to use his wings in a
fight of three or four feet.
Out in an old telephone pole which
stands at the corner Of two country
roads is regular birds fiat building.
About fifteen feet up from the ground,
just high enough up to be the despair
of small boys, is small hole leading
down to a circular chamber. Here a
bluebird family has its home. Five
feet up is another and larger hole. This
is the front door to the residence Of a
redheaded woodpecker. At present the
young woodpeckers are just getting
ready to try their wings and at almost
any time one of the youngsters may be
seen looking out of the hole at what
must seem a strange world. Still
higher up, in the third story OF the fiat
building, is another opening evidently
made by a flicker, who changed his
mind and left before he completed the
work. There is likely to be an English
sparrcw's nest in that cavity before
the summer is over. for the avian
rats" are going out into the country
for the summer in great numbers and
bid fair as soon to be as big nuisance
there as they are now in the city and
nearby suburbs.
There seem to be other birds beside
the bluejay which sometimes eat or at
least destroy the eggs of Their fellows.
Thus the other day a horrible suspi-
cion was aroused in regard to that
symbol of innocence and gentleness,
the robin redbreaEt. The robin flew
from a tree down into the grass of a
swamp meadow. There he disappeared
for a moment. When he came into
sight again he was flying for dear life
with a red-winged blackbird close be-

the ruins of nests evidently two or
three years old.
Close to the catbird's tangle and ly-
ing on the ground In a poor apology
for a nest were found a recently
Matched mourning dove and white
egg from which the little bird had
not yet picked it's way. This nest was
close to the stalks of some close grow
ing bushes and would never have been
discovered If the old mother bird had
not gotten up and flown away in a
terrible fright when the nestseeker was
four or five feet away.
With the instinct of most Of the
ground building kind the old bird went
off with an apparently broken wing
and did her best to decoy danger away
from her helpless little ones. It is a
wonder how these little doves escape

RussIa's White CITY.

For three months in the winter
Archangel, now to become the great
western port OF Russia, scarcely sees
the sun, and for three months in the
summer seldom loses sight of it. Yet
there is no city in the whole of Europe
which lies for so many months-for
the greater part of the year, in fact
under a mantle of snow; and because
of this the Russian fondly calls it "the
White City"
White, too, 1t is in other ways. All
the chief buildings glare with white
paint and blink with white blinds. The
churches-and in Russian city they
are but few-are also of pure white;
only the cupolas are green, and the
crosses on their SUBMITS gold. And
white are the private houses of the
better sort-except where Norwegians
and Germans live, for buff and blue
and red then streak and diaper the
pine walls and edge the gable ends.
But street-posts, gates, pillars, walls,
fences-these are all white. And in the
summer, for every official you see in
a blue or gray tunic, you see ten in
white caps and white uniforms. Bright
color alone is left to the women and
children; pink blouses, green skirts.
scarlet petticoats, orange aprons, and
blue kerchiefs are common enough;
while group of children will always
look like cluster Of old English flow
ers. But otherwise, in summer as in
winter, this old city Of Archangel,
now destined to be the capital of
new Russia in the near west, is a
White City, indeed.

teresting family, but there Is an old
white cat with three kittens under the
hay NOW stairs, who spends hours
standing motionless, all but the tip
of her TAIL in the tall orchard glass
and who thinks that dinner of young
robins would do her own children
much good.
There is little yellow warbler who
built down in the pasture wood lot
and who had equally hard luck in a
different and really peculiar way.
The yellow warbler's nest was in
itself an exquisite thing. 1t was built
near the top of some thick bushes,
about five feet from the ground. 1t
was lined with soft, silky gray MOSES
and threads of vegetable tissue and it
looked like the inside of spun silver
cup. 1t was built so artfully that
leaves and branches hid it on all sides,
and 1t took hard work and good luck
to find it even after one knew it was
there. 1t was found the day it had
been completed, when the mother bird
was just ready to begin laying her
eggs.
But there was another bird out that
day, sneaking through the bushes like
a pickpocket looking for a chance to
leave one of its eggs in newly built
nest. The sneak was cowbird, which
never builds nest of its own and dis
misses the whole subject Of maternal
responsibility from its mind when it
has left an egg in some other birds
nest. One of these big brown and
black cowbirds found the yellow warb-
ler's dainty little nest and laid one of
its big spotted eggs there. Then it
flew back to the pasture again, and got
down on the ground among the cat
tie, with others of it's sneaking kind.
Sometimes when yellow warbler
finds cowbird's egg in its nest it
will build a false bottom over the egg
and proceed to make its nest above
1t on the second floor. But this poor
warbler got no such opportunity. This
has been cold, late spring, and the
warblers and other similar birds have
been slow in building. Also there
were many cowbirds about, looking for
a chance to saddle off the Matching and
rearing of their young on their bet
tiers, and before the yellow warbler
mother could get chance to lay one
of her own eggs in the nest she had
built 1t was actually filed almost to
overlooking with four big cowbird
eggs. This is believed to be the record
in the way of cowbird greediness. Of
