one of the Commonest troubles which fall to
Americans is finding their own carriage after

Makarofrs Culture.

Admiral Makaror was something
more than the typical cultured Rus
sian. says the Westminster Gazette.
One might talk with him almost with
out suspecting that he was a foreign.
er. SO easy was his command Of Eng
lish. His longest stay Of late years In
England was during the building OF the
ice-breaker Yermak. which he de-
signed ard which he saw constructed
At Newcastleon-Tyne. giving personal
suerintendence to every detail Ad-
miral Makaron was an enthusiast Ia
regard to that vessel He believed
that she was the forerunner OF q type
by means OF which the secrets Of the
Frozen North will ultimately be given
to the world. and he talked with light
dancing In his eyes Of what the Ice
breaker might ultimately be expected
TO achieve.

THE PEssImIsT.

The pessimist in these days OF the
twentieth century Is sorely tried
man. In the buoyant life we are now
living he is quickly thrust aside. and
in vain looks about him for a few
props to stand upon. He doesn't even
attract the attention of the public,
and at that he is even more vexed
than ever.
The whole truth n that we have
absolutely no use for the pessimist.
We are not in a pessimistic age.
Everything is not exactly as we would
like to have IL, but II is so much bet.
ter than IL has ever been before that
we are ashamed to be lined up on the
dark side.
Whenever we listen 90 the man who
tells us how fine everything used to
be. we silently chuckle to ourselves
and tabulate him along with the rest
of the fossils that serve us from time
to time as a diversion. II he is a pes
simist we are positively certain that
the cause lies within himself and not
with the times In which he lives or
has lived.
Besides we must realize that the
pessimist has a most peculiar faculty,
which is exactly opposite to all natu-
raj laws. When we 90 away from a
