the conventional life Of the young Rus
sian noble-and determined to devote
himself to the service OF his feIow-men.
Never was there a more unselfsh renun-
ciaJioR; never one that was carried out
more completely.
TolstOy was the first Russian noble
man 70 emancipate his serIs. He estab-
lished schools to educate them and their
children. Popular Instruction was an IN
known thing in Russia, and to find mod
els he travelled through Germany. France,
and England. studying the educational
systems Of those countries. At his home
al Yasnaya Polyana, in the province Of
Tula. he ordered his own life and that
OF his family IN strict accordance with
his principles. He abandoned all the
privileges OF birth and wealth He work
ed in the fields with his own hands He
gave away much OF his property outright
He refused to accept the profits brought
by the sale Of his books. Eschewing all
luxury. he dressed in the simplest and
cheapest way. He gave up smoking. he
wolld even eat no meat. He turned his
attention from novels and romances-a
style Of literature that ministers chiefly
TO the idle class-and devoted himself TO
books with a purpose written for the spe-
cial benefit Of Unlearned readers or bear
-ing upon the practical problems OF life.
Many OF Tolstoy's books and pamphlets
have been suppressed in Russia. and some
also in Germany. probably az the instance
OF the Russian Government; others have
been mutilated. nd people who have
helped him in his work have been ban
ished. On the authority % Mr. Aylmer

Last year he made himself further OBJ
noXious to the ruling powers Of Russia
by issuing public appeal for a reform
OF the governmental system that keeps
the mass OF his cOuEtrymen in their pres

has replied by doing all it can 20 silence

Tolstoy is not a socialist. Much less il
he an anarchist. He has never had any
thing TO do with the cult Of viole=ss 10
Russia He has been pictured as a
dreamer, eccentric and impractical. As
a matter OF fact. he is an intensely prac-
teal and earnest man, with keen vision
OF the problems OF life and grear fund
OF good judgment and common sease.
True. he has accomplished no g-ea; re-
form in Russia; but his failure-if failure
il must be caHed-is due 20 the fact that
the forces arrayed against him are almost
irresistible

Launching of the Largest Sailing
Vessel In the World.

Quincy, Mass, July 1.-THE
mammoth seven-masted schooner
Thomas w. Lawson, the largest
sailing vessel ever built, was sue
cessfuIIy launched from the yards
of the Fore River Ship and Engine
Company at 2:4O this afternoon.
The monster ship took the water
gracefully, going down the ways
as easily as a vessel one-quarter
her size.
Oyer 10000 people witnessed
the launching. An enormous fleet
came down from Boston, while the
shore along Downer Landing Park
was literally packed with humani
ty.
The Lawson, designed by
Bowodoin B. Crowninshield, has
been under construction for about
eight mouths. She was christened
by Miss Helen Watson.
The Thomas w. Lawson meas
nres 403 feet over all, but her steel
spike bowsprit is S. feet long, and
from its tip to the end of the after

After the primary some of the can
didates, no doubt, will be found in
the predicament of the Fox and the
old Farm Bell. The farmer had
been missing his chickens in coop
under the bell, and he determined to
catch up with the midnight marsu-
der, so he set a steel trap and tied it
to the rope which rang the bell.
During the night the fox came as it
was expected he would do, and was
caught in the trap. He made des-
perate efforts to free himself and
everytime he struggled the bell would
ring-the more he struggled the
more the bell would ring. Finally he
gave up and on viewing his surround
ines be spied the bell, and exclaimed:
What are you anyhow! You have
a dsrned big mouth, long tongue,
make h-ll OF fuss and nothing
DONE" So it will be with some of
our candidates. They will stand on
the various platforms at the campaign
meetings, make h-ll of q fuss and
nothing done. Not being prophet
nor the son of a prophet We will not
predict who they will be.

Fork his interests were on this side
of the Saluda river. Shealy retorted
that he had often heard tell of man
trying to ride two horses and strad-
die fence, but never before had he
seen man trying to strsddle Saluda
river.
Wingard twitted Towill with be-
ing non progressive because he was
still living in state Of single bless
edness. Towill replied by saying
that the good Lord knew that he was
doing his level best to get out of the
gulf of despondency and that it was
not his fault that he had been joined
to pretty piece of calico but when
he would be he would not go to
Virginia for it.
In tones of thunder Shealy ex-
claims: If you want good looking
man to represent you, send Efr6;
but if you Want an ugly one-one
that can and will do you some good,
then send me.
