A writer In the Scotsman has I'M
earthed an amusing anecdote OF Thorn
az Carlyle as a country sehoolmaster.
II Ia told by a Cupar lawyer and pro-
vost, who was one OF Carlyle's pupils
IN Kirkoaldy. As a teacher, Carlyle Is
described as a strict and gloomy dis
eiplinarian, whose large, glowing eyes
constantly shot forth wrath. His mere
scowl would hush the whole school,
and he had a laugh that was a series
OF chucklos and loud outlaws, wherein
he displayed his teeth like the keys Of
a piano. One morning Just as we were
entering the schoolroom, donkey ap-
p0ared on the playground, and Bill
Hood rushed 10 mount the animal and
attempted 10 ride II into the school
room. The donkey was induced to
carry its rider over the threshold amid
the shouts OF laughter and cheers from
the boys. Just as Bill was squirting
the donkey into the masters dosk.
Carlyle appeared, We expected tre-
msndous explosion Of wrath. but In

The cables OF the daily papers In
connection with the Disturbances at
the Russian universities are stating
that many students have been sen
fenced TO 30 and so many years ser
vice in the army" Those statements
which lately appear frequently. are apt
TO make one believe that service in the
Russian army Ii n kind OF punishment
20 which persons having committed
some offense may be sentenced. This
10 entirely misleading.
In Russia every ablc-bodIed man OF
81 years OF age Is subject 10 military
service. Each military district OF the
empire has 10 furnish every year n
certain contingent OF recruits. 70 sup
plement the army for the released con-
tingent OF reservlsts AZ a certain
time OF the year, every man, having
reached his twenty-iirst year. has TO
appear before the recruiting court OF
his district and report for military ser
vice. The court releases the bodily
innrm. and from the rest the number
OF men which the respective district
has 10 furnish for active service are
drawn by lot. The rest are set aside
for one year as a kind OF reserve. from
which TO draw In case the district
should not bring forth the required
number OF able-bodled men In the com
Ing year. After that they are released
finally from active service. but belong
To the reserve OF the army.
The men drafted by lot are subject
to three years OF active service with
the army. A shorter term OF service
Ia granted TO the so-called "free-will-
ers"--that is, TO men who have, be-
foro reaching their twenty-hrst year
waived their right for the draft by lot,
and consequently have 10 serve under
any circumstances. provided they are
bodily able. The right TO offer ones
self as n "free-willer" Is. however,
granted only TO persons OF certain edu-
eatlonal standing. The term OF active
service for "free-wlllers" ranges from
one TO two years. depending on the
class OF the institution from which
they have been graduated.
For students OF universities or pupils
or other educational institutions the
law extends the term for the report TO
service from the twenty-hrst up TO the
twenty-seyenth year Of age, SO as to
give them ample time to finish the
studies. To this grant is. however.
attsched the clause that whenever n
student leaves the institution by free
VIII or sentence. he thon has immedi-
ately TO absolve his military duties TO

n II will thus be seen that the remon-
Strating Russian students have not
BEEN sentenced" TO serve In the army,
put, having left the university, the
sxisting common law compels them 10
