against which you lean. He too. has much business in the wood, and his business is with the mice. the squirrels, the rabbits and the grouse-with any living creatures he can kill. He is an actor of many roles, this great owl with the big round head, and the dark brown half-hunan eyes. Now he is the midnight hunter, coursing the startled rabbit through the forest glades- Now he is a poacher killing grouse within the boundaries of some game preserve; and next night behold him as the farmers ally, exterminating rats and mice and moles. At one hour he is a murderer staying perhaps mother squirrel, whose babies will slowly starve to death in their nest; at the next he is an angel of mercy, ending as with light ming the suffering of some trapped or wounded creature, which. otherwise might finger in agony for days.
 Yes, there is always important busi- ness going forward in the forest and the better it is understood the more import ant it seems. There are beavers feiling trees, making dams, flooding acres of land, and building houses superior to those of certain tribes of men. There are porcupines stripping and killing a hundred trees apiece per annumn; woodchucks and ehipmunks excavat- ing long, winding subterranean tunnels, muskrats diving for mussels and the roots of water plants. and mink and ot- ters fishing in the streams and ponds. All the year round. and all hours of the day and night, there are citizens of the forest city plying their trades, earning their bread" and doing their parts to- ward the carrying out of ''the beautiful plan."

Even in the most ad- vanced parts of the empire, in the gov ernments of St. Petersburg, Moscow, etc. there is but one school for every twenty-four square versts of territory. In thousands of instances children have to walk from eight to twelve miles a day in going to and returning from school. And the school term coincides with the coldest and severest weather.
 The greatest chaos prevails in the control and management of the elemen- tary schools. They are subject to no fewer than nine different departments. The ministry of education manages

NOT ALL DEAD.

Conscience in this country isn't dead yet. A minister in Maryville. Missouri. has just made contribution to the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad company's con- science fund. The preacher is said to be pastor of one of the leading congrega- tions of Maryville. He wrote Benton Quick. a representative of the Missouri Pacific at St. Joseph, that in 1898 or 1899 he got a half fare minister's ticket from Louisville. Kentucky. to St. Joseph via the Baltimore and Ohio and the Missou- ri Pacific and, in violation of the condi- tions on which such tickets are issued, let his wife ride on it. T virtually stole $4 from the Baltimore and Ohio South western and $3.75 from the Missouri Pacific.p confesses the contrite preach CT. T have sent MT. J, H.

 For the present, friends of popular education ask that the imperial govern ment appropriate as much for public schools as is contributed by the zemst- vos, local bodies, and private benevo- fence together-about thirty-three mill lion roubles. This, it is said, is more es- sential than the encouragement of man. ufactures by protective duties and the development of the Manchurlan sphere of interest. Translation made for the Literary Digest.

LACK OF ELEMENTARY EDUCA
 TIoN IN RUSSIA.

Reform in Russia, according to the editor of the Osvobojdenie, is more like ly to come as the result of great war than in the natural order of things. The disastrous Crimean war, he points out, made the liberation of the serfs a national necessity, and this great meas ure led to others of liberal character,
 so that the period which followed be- came an era of progress and improve ment Aside from political reform, lib- eral Russians agree that the fnudamen- tai need of the nation is elementary ed ucation. The economic condition of the peasantry, admittedly bad, is attributed

MORE RUSSIAN ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is hard to tell what goes on in Russia, but the Jews of Moscow have lately been the victims of fresh perse- cutions, according to letters received in London. After the expulsion in 1891 of thirty thousand Jewish worsingmen and artisans, only those Jews who were members of the first guild of mer- chants or had received an acadenical education were allowed to remain. Re- gently the governor of the city, the Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovitch, or dered a strict inquiry to be made into the domiciliary rights of all Jews, and on the discovery of the slightest flaw expulsion has followed. Many families whose grandfathers had, during the fif- ties, obtained the hereditary freedom of the city have been suddenly ex- pelled. It was discovered that these ancestors had paid their taxes as mem- bers of the first guild for period of eight years only. According to re- cent law the freedom of city can not be granted unless such taxes have been paid for ten years. The provisions of this law have been applied in the case of dead Jews. and on the strength of it their descendants have been expelled from Moscow. The Senate has been in- dueed to give fresh interpretation to q law relating to Jews. Hitherto Jews who had paid taxes as members of the first guild of merchants for fifteen years were permitted to dwell in any part of Russia. The Senate now declares that the taxes must have been paid continu-

The Boston hotel men are again be- seeching the General Court to make it legal for them to serve liquor to bona fde guests after il o'clock at night. As things are, they say, merchants who have a thirst are buying their goods in New York instead of Boston; drummers stop in smaller towns, wherever night over.akes them, instead of continuing their journey to Boston; theater parties that would much prefer to sup at the Back Bay hotels go to down town ones or to the dining rooms which many of the clubs have compassionate1y opened for society women and their escorts.

Years ago MT Donahue made his reputation by descending from his magisterial bench, doffing his coat. and giving a chronic wife beater such a thrashing that the man has not beaten his wife since. Finding that method effective, Donahue has applied it many times since with success.

Senator Quay is credited with a story which illustrates the high standard of morality in the Keystone State. An old Pennsylvania Dutchman, thrifty but not wealthy farmer, was elected to the legislature. Several ''meaty' railroad and other corporation measures came up for consideration, and after the ses- sion had closed the old farmer surprised everybody by buying and paying cash for property worth s3OO0O. Someone asked if a fortune had been left to him. "Gh. no,'' was the reply q have just been saving money while in Harrisburg at the legislature.' Why, Hans" said his friend, you could not save $50, ,OO0 fin three months when your salary was only 8 day.

Thefts from Hotels.

A certain hotelkeeper in Washington says that the people have no idea of the small depredations that are committed by guests, most of who are people of money enough of their own to refrain He declares that not long ago he bought 700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and before he had time to learn whether or not the rooms had been supplied, the whole outfit was gone, says the Washing ton Post "They are drummers, and women and all kinds of people who took them" said he, "and probably they did not think it was stealing to take things away from the hotel. AS to downright theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat ter of meals, there is much less of it in hotels than you would suppose; but Lord! how they will crib the soap and linen and spoons!"
