It will be remembered, says the
Westminster Gazette, that some years
ago M. Max Regis was presented by a
group of lady admirers with a pair of
golden handouts, in commemoration
of his arrest and Imprisonment in the
great cause of Nationalism. The An
ti-Semite swore that he would wear
the manacles as souvenir bracelets for
the remainder of his life. For some
lime he kept his promise, and then it
was observed that he had abandoned
his decorative letters. Why? Wa it
infdelity to the cause, or what? PEG

there was a public sale of unredeemed

them in the streets of Algiers and ex-
hibits them to all his friends.

An Indian Game Fowl That is Very
Valuable.

An Indian Game Fowl That is Very
Valuable.
Not often does the price of a single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each of the eggs of a GER
tain Indian game hen, which was
brought to England some time ago.
For centuries the Indian game, or
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game breed, for the pureness of
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that
the date of the origin of the race has
been lost in the past.
It is almost impossible to procure
specimens of the purest blood, for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsman
at the highest value.
AS game fowl they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them in In
dia for the finest birds never reach
our colder climates-tell Of their PROV
ess and ungovernable ~teEacity in bat
tie. With them it is always victory
or death.
In America, however, the game fowls
are seldom raised for fighting pur-
poses, tut for show, and as pets and
hobbies of poultry fanciers.-Country

THE SILENCE OF BUTTERFLIES.

World.


This Insect Represents q Truly Silent
World.
After all. the chief charm Of this race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
varied and brilliant beauty, not yet in
their wonderful series of TRANSFORMED
tons, in their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber in the
chrysalis, or the very brief period
which comprises their beauty, their
love making, their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty of sight or not, and do not even
know the precise use Of their most
conspicuous organ in maturity, the an
tennae. Nor does it consist in this
hat they of all created things have
furnished man with the symbol Of his
own immortality. 1t rather lies in the
fact that, with all their varied life and
activity, they represent an absolutely
silent world. = All the vast ar
ray of modern knowledge has found
no butterfly which murmurs with an
audible voice and only a few species
which can even audibly click or rus
tie with their wings.-T. W. Higgin-
son, in Atlantic.

that eleven years have rolled by since Chi
cago invited all the nations of the earth to
come Within her gates. These having been
years of remarkable progress the mere fact
that 1T is up to date would place the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition ahead of
not only the Columbian Exposition Of 1893
the only other worlds fair OF the period
mentioned. The great development of
horseless vehicles, certain wonderful ad-
vances in the field of electricity, the wire
less telegraph, the submarine boat and the
practicable flying ~machine-all of which
are special features at st. LouisEare, for
instance, matters of the period since the
Chicago event. To my mind, however, the
one distinctive feature which places, it
ahead of all other worlds fairs is the COM

One of the greatest, and certainly one of
the most agreeable, Of my many surprises
was the supreme beauty Of the main group
of buildings. For the simple reason that
take in the vast picture as the eye sees it,
the early views of the group-a bit here
and a bit there-gave a scant idea of the

make up it's component parts do justice to
their nobility of architecture and general
grandeur. Then again in the ground plans

general picture all these buildings blend
finely. Nor is there any clashing in the

are intensely interesting. The villages run
along Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi-

Melancholy Of Russia.
eal Nation When Viewed From the Inside.
BY Andrew d. White.

BY Andrew D. White.
@@AIE general Russian life, as thus saw it. while intensely interest
ing in many respects, was certainly not cheerful Despite the
frvohty dominant among the upper class and fetishism contron-
ing the lower classes, there was especially in that period of
IMNWlNE calamity a deep undertone of melancholy. Melancholy, indeed,
kNGE&J is a marked Characteristic of Russia, and, above ALL Of the peas-
antry. They seem sal ven in their sports; their songs almost
without exception are in the minor key; the whole atmosphere is apparently
charged With vague dread of some calamity Despite the suppression of most
Of the foreign journals, and tn plotting ot of page after page of the news
papersa allowed tt enter the empire, despite all that the secret police could do
in reprssing unfavorable comment, it became generally known that all was
going wrong in the Crimea. News came Of reverse after reverse; of the
defeats Of the Alma and Inkerman, and, as a climax, the loso Of Sevastopol
and the destruction of the Russian fleet. In the midst of it ALL rs is ever the
case in Russian wars, came utter collapse in the commissariat department.;
everywhere n heard hints IN finally detailed stories of scoundrelsm in
high places: of which ought to have been appropriated to army sup
plies, but which had been expended at the gambling tables If Homburg Or in
the Breda quarter att Paris.
Then it was that there vas borne in upon me the conviction that Russia,
powerful as III seems when viewed from the outside, is anything but strong
when view from the inside. To say nothing of the Thousand evident weak
n@ses resulting from autocracy-the theory that n man, and lie, generally
not one IF the los highly endowed, cn do the thinking for a hundred mil
lions of people-there vas nowhere the slightest Sign OF any uprising of a
great nation as for instance, Of the French against Europe IN 1892, Of the
Germans against Franc ii 1913 and in 1870 of Italy against Austria in 1859
and anerward and of the Americans in the civil wr of 1861. There were

If wealth and dominion ar made a primary object and are trusted as a
source Of National strength instead of Its consequence or evidence, they prove
false reliance. And it is al unfortunate fact that very few nations have
achieved wealth or dominion without suffering loss of faith and enthusiasm,
and remaining with the empty husk Of greatness at tn very moment when
they deemed themselves most powerful. For along with the acquisition of
power there is apt to come a relaxing of discipline. Along with the achieve
mnt Of the means of Industrial ease there comes a philosophy Of Ifew which
makes industrial ease h goal and n Of human effort
In almost every age Of scientific progress n material prosperity the old
dognas by which discipline was supported are undermined and the old terrors
of the la mitgated by the progress Of scientific criticism; until many a
people, having lost certain optwo1ks of an ancient fdth which we're once
deemed essential abandons the whole ground o. which that ancient faith
rested, takes u p a lew philosophy of life which seems stronger than thu other
merely because its weak points law not been s fully examined INC tested,

glory a thing of fhe past.
Our chief danger comes from trusting to the work of reason in places
sttuted and trained that the relaxation of discipline will not leave us a the
mercy of blind passion, but it may leave u at the mercy of In almost equally
blind spirit of selfish calculation.
The whole course Of events IN thu nineteenth century has been sucha as to
