DEATH IN THE STREETS.

Waste of life in America, has often been alluded to in these columns, but no illustration is more striking than the fact that in New York City during the last year 5SS individuals have been killed in traffic accidents. How reck- less we are as to human lives is shown by the comparative figures for London, wherein larger city--there have been only 15S deaths in the same way. It is said that the Merchant Association of New York has resolved to pursue reform work in tLis matter by all the methods in its power. especially by such devices as may prevent the un- necessary number of accidents. For instance, the use of new fender on trolley cars, which has been in success ful use in Liverpool, England, is to be encouraged. The reckless speeding of these cars should be stopped. The fact that trolley accidents are more nurner- ous in Brooklyn than in Manhattan demonstrates that it Is not congestion of traffic alone that is responsible for the fatalities Grade crossings of steam cars must be abolished. reform that at once lessens accidental deaths in marked degree.

THE SERVICE PENSION.

The news comes from Washington that the service pension bill is approved by President Roosevelt and that he wishes it passed as an administration measure. This fact has been communi- cated to the leaders in the House and Senate and they are now figuring to see how much money the treasury can spare in wholesale disbursements among the veterans who are not already on the pension rolls. Considerable sur- prise was manifested in the house when it became authoritatively known that President Roosevelt wanted a service pension bill passed. He called several of the Republican leaders to the White House last week and told them it was essential that such measure should be adopted. No attempt is now made to conceal the fact that the legislation is for purely political purposes. The G. A. R. men have let 1t be known that the Democrats propose to take up their cause in the coming Presidential cam paign. The Democratic platform is ex- pected to contain plank favoring a general service pension bill. This is the word, at any rate, that has reached the White House, and the administra- ton leaders came to the conclusion that it would be a big blunder to let the Democrats steal their thunder. Con- sequently it was determined that the present congress should pass such a bill at least through the House, in orr der that the Republican party might get the credit for it.

and who are now doing all they can in their own part of the country. And their efforts are. in many cases. being directly rewarded. by a closer friend snip with the birds themselves. One lady writes that her. chickadees have become so tame that they alight upon her hand to be fed. and man reports that flock of snow buntings which feed on hay-seed scattered for them on the lawn actually fly toward him when they see him coming. We have here a red-breasted nuthatch which allows us to put our fingers upon his back while he is feeding, and our experience with chiclzadees has been so remarkable that l almost hesitate to tell of it. There has not been day, since Janu- ary that the members of our house. hold have not had chickadees upon their hand, shoulders and faces as often as they cared to, and they cared to very often. These tiny birds have lost all fear of us, and come to meet us half a mile from the house. Only last Satur- day a friend who was walking with me in the country, and who knew nothing about our birds. was greatly astonished to see chickadee come down at q whistle, alight upon my hand, and sit eor five minutes eating a piece of wal nut which l held between my thumb and finger.

Marked copies of papers are coming in from everywhere showing that not only have articles and editori- als been written concerning the best way to relieve the birds, but that these articles and editorials have been copied and recopied by the papers which were unable to get the facts at first hand. That this good work of the press is bearing the fruit deserved, is evidenced by the numbers of letters which reach us here from people who have read of the work done in other places,

 NEW YORK'S AUCTION ROOMS.
 A far wider circle than the uninitia- ted and uninterested suspect is keenly concerned In all that passes in the auc- ton rooms of New York city. The sto- ny of these auction rooms, their sales, their salesmen, and their visitors, will be the subject of Albert Bigelow Paine's "Bric-a-Brae Auctions in New York in the February Century. Tn his article Mr. Paine will quote the proprietor of one of the largest auction concerns in the metropolis as saying:
 The art auction in New York has be- come a social event, and many of those who. come for entertainment remain to learn. It is true they are likely to pay something for their knowledge, but they are usually able to do so, and the pos session of these beautiful, curious and antique things gives them a new inter est in some art or place or period, while the study of the objects themselves de- velops refinement of taste. have known men Aof means to begin a collec-

 The wall surrounding Seoul, from which kites are ever flying. is but a pocket edition of the great Chinese wall that leads down to the sea at Shanhalk- wan. Piercing this Korean copy are the city gates-pi picturesque passage-ways- which are promptly and irrevocably clyosed with the setting of the sun. The west gate will be entered by the tourist on reaching the capital from Chemulpo, and should he come to the outside of this but minute after the sun has disappeared behind the horizon and the "big belr' has boomed it's mournful warning note, he is elected to camp in the open until Phoebus has cy- cled round the world on the equatorial path. If he reach the gate five minutes before it closes on it's grooming hinges, he will witness a sight that will repay him for the toilsome trip up from tn coast.-T. Philip Terry in the January Outing.

WHERE JAPAN AND RUSSIA SEEK
 SUPREMACY.


 Seoul, the capital of Cho-sen, is built amidst network of hills eighteen miles from the sea. It is an ancient walled city, fortified in the strongest way by smells that would drive any but an Asiatic army forthwith into the ocean. It is poor in appearance, but rich in fieas. On autumn nights tigers frequently contest the right of way with belated pedestrians, and this is the chief reason why one has the entire street to oneself in moonlight stroll after eight o'clock Metaphoricall one can scarce ly see the town for the bald. bulbous and bullet-headed Buddhist priests who fatten on the superstition of the popu lace, and lead licentious lives in the ad- jacent nlonasteries. Barring an occa- sional court function marked by street processions, Seoul is triuInphantly de- void of sights interesting to a traveller. The streets lack entirely those pictur- esque laracteristies of q Chinese or Japanese tiloroughfare, and vista across the Korean housetops is one of appalling monotony. One seeks in vain for attractive souvenirs. In the small shops of Seoul, Japanese beer, matches, cigarettes and cheap crockery form the chief stock in trade, while long stemmed Korean pipes and metal banded Korean knives are offered in the more preten-

RuseIAN NEWs INPAnIs.


 There may be some lively Russian news in Paris occasionally. Under the supervision of II. de PIehve a paper has been founded in Paris entitled La Revue Russe. whose object will be the contradiction of ell information unfa- vorable to the Russian bureaucracy. The Russian revolutionary Socialist party. not to be behindhand, are about to publish La Tribune Russo, which will reply to the inspired utterances of M. de Plehve's organ. Its editor, II. E.. Roubanoviteh. is in constant relation with the Russian revolutionary move ment. Many of the secret documents issued by the Russian government, which fall into the hands of Russian revolutionists, are forwarded to him. Thus the first number of his new paper will contain an extract of the minutes and the recommendations made by the Czar's commission on the reorganiza- tion of the provincial administrations. This commission. presided over by M. de Plehve. after examining the status of the provincial governors, proposed ito confer on them more effective means than those which they actually possess for the exercise of their rights of surveillance and to create such con- ditions as shall enable the governors to be the veritable directors of their gov ernments, in respect to all the branches of their administration"
