FANArICIsM.

The story alleging that Russian mystic has partially buried himself in his excitement over the war may or may not be true. The mere burying of
 the feet in earth is so triyal compared
 with some oe the things these mystics do that probably the story is not true.
 It is too ordinary for note. Three years iago a Bieloyodisk peasant, seized with religious frenzy, did what seemed to him heroic. Interpreting the Scriptures literally, he goughed out one of his eyes chopped off his right arm. then walked I15 miles to report his triumph. But that is nothing in comparison with what the come-go-day zealot of India will do. They bury, not simply their feet, but their whole bodies. How much is
 deception and how much real, one can inot say. but a responsible authority be- lieves that two men lived through a 40 days immurement. A couple of others were dug out dead after a shorter cap tivity.
 India teens with feats of this de- lscription. One man will lie upon his back, place a piece of soil upon his lower lip, plant in it mustard seed,
 and not rise from his position until the II seed has become a plant of size. An- other will make his couch upon spikes; a third walk with his boots
 filled with similar delights; yet another keeps his hands clenched until the nails
 grow through his palms and out at the back of his hands; while others distort their legs and arms into atrophy. The
 extent to which Hindu fanaticism will
 go. or native belief extend was shown | by case reported in the Civil and Mili- tary Gazette of Lahore year or so ago The natives of Trevandrum were
 found worshiping a } a god came among men a man who had taken up his resi-
 dence under a tree on the bank of a
 rive. For the first week or so he ate a lplantain and drank some milk twice or thrice a week. Then he gradually en- larged the intervals, till after three or
 four months he took no food at all, but passed his time huddled before fire, seeing no one, hearing no one. Exposed i to cold and wet, to heat and dust he sat
 thus without food for three years,
 "wrapt in divine contemplation" At
 the end of the three years he died, never

CANOEING IN SWIFT WATER.

IA Few Timely Hints for the Amateur
 Camper.
 To give any description of handling canoe in rapids would be waste of time both for the writer and the reader. The best way to learn is first to watch some one do it, and then try it yourself under his direction. You will soon find out which is the safe water and how ito force the light craft over the seem- ingly impossible falls. Running rapids, provided they are not too bad, appeals to me as one of the most exciting forms of sport and exercise that I know of. Never attempt a rapid that you do not know can be run without examining it from end to end to see that it is possi- ble, and also to get an idea how to take 1t. Many man has lost his life through neglecting this precaution, and remember that rapid which is safe to- day may not be so in a day or two, as the rising and falling of the water will frequently make it impossible or at least very dangerous.
 I scarcely envy any one his first at tempt at shooting rapids if he suffers as I did. From an overhanging rock I had carefully watched guide go through the galloping, foamy waters, and then, after emptying my canoe and leaving my watch and other unnecessa- ny articles on shore and putting my heart carefully into my mouth, I made for that noisy little run of water. What suffered when the curling wave lets first struck the canoe was bad enough, but nothing to the agony of the return trip, when, travelling with start ling speed the whole river seemed mass of menacing rocks being boiled in the seetf1ing water. How I got through l do not know, bht I came safely to the smooth water, and, after a rest. made another run with less trepidation. Then, loading the canoe with my light outfit, I took her through with little dif1iculty.-Country Life in America.

Whether they will pay better if kept in timber or whether they should be sold for farming is a somewhat difficult question. One great advantage for for est management which they have over pine lands. for example, is their com parative immunity from fire. The ow- ner of a good forest of red gum is not in danger of seeing his whole invest ment go up in smoke. The red gum is a swamp species. and it's rapid growth points to the conclusion, at least in certain sections. that the land can be profitable held for a second crop
 The field studies carried on by the Bureau of Forestry during the last win ter was made on the lands of the Him. Inelberger- Harrison Lumber Company in South Carolina. Figures on rate of growth in height, diameter, and volume were obtained, which will be later em- bodied in tables showing the rate of growth, age and contents in board feet of trees of various diameters. A care ful study of second growth and stand per acre was also made, and on these data it is hoped recommendations can be made for the management of these hardwood bottomlands so as to obtain
 acontinual supply of timber.
 Other studies have secured the data for a discussion of the reproduction and other characteristics of the red gum and of numbering methods employed throughout it's range. In addition, an- inquiry has been made into the sub iact of market conditions and the uses and manufacture of the wood. All these phases of the investigation will be fully discussed in a bulletin, in course of preparation, on the red gum as a commercial timber tree.

Joseph Conrad. author of the striking new book Romance" is thus described by a person who recently met him: T found him broad shouldered man, above the medium height, who would look much taller if he were not slightly stopped, saturnine of exterior, with dark hair, dark overshadowed eyes and a black, bushy beard. His distinctly unconventional dress and manner set him immediately aside from the aver age run of people. Any one not aware of his identity would surely realize at once that he is man who has exDe- rlenced much both of the sweet and bitter of life. His whole manner is ex- tremely nervous. III health probably accounts for this, as he is not by tem- perature an excitable man. You re- member he is Pole whose first allegi- ance was to France He betrays his foreign nationality, for he has pro- nounced accent and speaks with very French rapidity, though his English is academically pure.

LONDON, March r. When F. w.
Vanderbilt arrives in the United

yard the other day-those Americans
fortunate enough to be invited aboard
will see what is probably the finest
pleasure craft ever built on this side
of the Atlantic. The accompanying

fore the launching gives little more
than a general idea of the vessels
lines, but the yacht is a masterpiece
of shipbuilding, into which G. L. Wat
son, the Glasgow designer, has put the
best of his skill and long experience.
The Warrior measures 239 feet at
the water line, her beam is 80 feet 6
inches, and her displacement about
1900 tons-a ship to face any weather
on any sea. The yachts engines, now
being installed, are of a rather better

Mafalda has shown no marked CHAR
acteristics outside her geniality. She
is of sunny disposition, which makes
her always happy and she takes the
baby ups and downs with smile.
Yolanda takes great interest in all
the personages who come to visit the
king and queen. She was Immensely
disappointed that the car did not
come as she thought he would have his
four daughters with him, while she
would scarcely speak to King Edward
because he had no one with him, and
even examined his room to be sure
that the little girl she expected was not
concealed there. Now she is all agog
for the French president, whom she
has confused with the American, as,
knowing Ambassador Meyers daugh-
tiers, and hearing that their "king is
president, she thinks that it is he who
is coming. Thus all the dolls have had
their names changed, the largest being
christened Theodore, and so on through
the Roosevelt family. The president
when he comes is to be asked to dolls
tea and perhaps for a ride behind her
donkeys.
The taking Of the latest two photo
graphs of the children is the conse-
quence of fad of the king. He al
ways has had a great dislike to have
the pictures Of any of the royal family
for sale in the shops. so that 1t has
been almost impossible to have them.
The people, not understanding this,
wondered very much, until the rumor
spread that both the children were de-
formed, and that was why King Victor
would not have them photographed.
The rumor reached the queens ears
first, who shed many bitter tears, and
it was then decided to have the chill
dren photographed at once. and to do
SO at stated periods. Their little bodies
are as straight and well formed as any
parent could desire, and one can un-
derstand the rage of their majesties at
such a cruel report.

BERLIN, March IL. - DR.. julius
WoIH, professor or natural economies
at Breslau, has again started a yigor-
Gus agitation Tor the establishment of
a European zoflverein, whose chief aim
it will be to combat American compe-
tition. With this end in view he re-
Gently issued confidential invitation
to a large number of industrial rep
resentatives Of Germany and other
countries to meet in Berlin for the for
nation of Central European Eco
nomical Association
1t is the profound interest aroused
by Mr.. Chamberlain's proposed rever-
sal Of England's free trade policy and
the support given it that has afforded
Prof. Wolff an opportunity for the re-
newal Of his pet scheme which was
generally regarded as visionary and
impracticable by business men when
he first brought it prominently for
ward. The countries which it is more
particularly proposed should be en-
braced in the zollverein are Germany,
Austria, Hungary, France, Italy, Swift
zerland, Belgium and Holland, and in
itial committees have been formed for
inducing an agitation in them.
Prof. Wolff admits that the obstacles
to be overcome before his dream of
commercial union against America can
be realized are great, but they do not
appear to his sanguine vision any
greater than those which long divided
the states of the German federation.
Why he asks, should similar diff
culties prevent the countries of Cen
trail Europe combining against "the
mighty rival that has arisen on the
other side of the ocean, ready to beat
down Europe?'
With approval he quotes from an ar
ticle by Prof. Won Waltershausen.
Does the continent to whom America
owes her success feel too weak in her
old age to rouse herself for common
purpose? or are her peoples SO blind
ing themselves, conquer the young
giant who already stretches his limbs
in order to spread out his mighty arms
across two oceans? ?"
In an address delivered at Vienna,
in which Prof. Wolff urged Austria
Hungary to make common cause with
Germany against America. he said
that he simply believed in dealing with
America on the same terms as it dealt
with Europe. If, for instance, Amer
lea should impose an import duty of
SO per cent in a certain class of Eu-
ropean merchandise, reprisals should
be resorted to by levying correspond
ing percentage on some American
product.
This, he urged, would be a perfectly
just and equitable system. There
would be no differential treatment of
America, and no provocation leading to
a tariff war, but merely reciprocity in
it's literal meaning.
Moreover, he said, should the prof.
ected customs union become an ac-
complished fact the effect of tariff
war need not be feared Germany,
Austria Hungary and France possess
ed population of 153,000,000, or more
than double that of the United States,
and the closing of such extensive mar
kets would not be wished by thai
country.
Prof. Wolff quoted statistics to show
that while American exports to Eu-
rope had risen enormously of late
years, her imports, especially of man

ROME, March 12.-Despite the feel
ing of something like disgust on ac-
count of the popular hope for an heir
to the throne, which was manifested
throughout this country when both
the small daughters of the king and
queen of Italy were born, time has
turned these little royal ladies from
''only girls" into the darlings OF the
nation The accompanying picture OF
the elder, Princess Yolanda, is new
and the first that ever has been pub :
lished of the princess in anything but
a conventional attitude.
Little Yolanda is her mothers
daughter in the matter of looks. Dark,
almost black, hair, large, serious eyes,
and unsmiling mouth, make her out
wardly a most sober young person,
while in reality she is sprite whose
mischievous spirit is always getting
her into trouble. The little Mafalda,
on the other hand, is quicksilver In
human form, and is the image of her
paternal grandmother. She is Queen
Margherita in miniature, the same
golden hair and blue eyes, the same
nose and mouth, the same smile and
ways, until one almost instinctively
waits for the we'll known bow of the
queen-mother, who has made more
friends by that same bow than Queen
Elena has enemies by the want of it,
