ROER ERUGALITY.

An amusing story is told of express
ident Kruger's first voyage on an ocean
liner. His fellow passengers remarked
with some surprise that he regularly
absented himself from the dinner table
At first they surmised that he was suf-
fering from seasickness, but that hy-
pothesis had to be rejected when it
was seen that during the dinner hour
he paced the deck, eating huge quanti-
ties of biscuit and biltong. One of his
companions at last made so bold as to
inquire the reason of this habit. It was
it appeared, frugality based upon a
misunderstanding. The president did
not know that his meals were included
in the price of his ticket, and he had
laid in a great stock of bareback and
dried meat in order to avoid running
up a long bill for extras.
81 have no money to fool away on ex-
pensive eating like you Englishmen,"
he sullenly explained.
gentleman who was on board at the
time and who tells the story adds
you should just have seen the old
man trying to make up for lost time
when it was explained to him that his
passage money entitled him to his din
ner without further payment"

sky to the control of the interior has
filled it with new ambition is due to
the universal discomfort which reigns
supreme in all parts of the empire and
the longing for reform which has risen
to a mighty flood since the beginning of
hostilities in the far east. Even Rus
STA, obtuse as she has shown herself to
be in the conduct of the bungling cam
paign in Manchuria and in her equally
inefficient management of domestic af-
fairs, cannot close her eyes to the in
sistence and righteousness of the de-
mand which she can no longer stihe-
the appeal of her millions for some
measure of representation. A Tolstoi
might lead the masses to a deeper and
more poignant realization of their
wretchedness, but he could not raise
them from the mire. Is Prince Sviato-
polk irsky to be their Moses?

AN EXPENSIVE DESK.

One of the exhibits in the st. Louis
worlds fair was a roller top desk on
which a cabinet maker had Iabored
daily for four years and three months.
1t is inlaid with thousands of dollars
worth of pearl button blanks which
were all shaped and polished by hand.
All sizes of blanks were used, and they
cover the desk, both inside and out. 1t
is sixty inches long, thirty inches deep,
fifty-four inches high and has fifty
three drawers. The wood used in the
construction of the desk and chair
which accompanies it is black walnut
and, with the pearl decorations, offers
a striking contrast. 1t took more than
two years to find a shell that would
make the keyhole piece. The maker
values the desk at $4,000.

lAENL&<4 world received the in
G-@--A telligence with varying
emotions. At first thought it appeared
to be a direct reversal of the traditional
policy of the empire The new dIgnl-
tary. a man of ariStocratc environ
ment and an open champion of prlncl-
pies so liberal that their proper exem-
plification would involve reconstruction
of the existing order, was better known
in social circles than in the inner
haunts of diplomacy. 1t is difficult to
believe that the prince could have been
taken seriously even in his own coun-
try. It must have been palpable to ev-
erybody that the sentiments openly
svowed by this rich and powerful no
bIeman were the selfsame doctrines
which were sending multitudes of less
strongly intrenched men and women to
Siberia and worse.
For years the fad of the Mirskys,"
as it was termed, had afforded infinite
amusement to the court circles of the
Russian capital The. princess was no
less devoted to the cult than was her
husband, and imitators were not lack
ing. 1t became the fashion to "go to
the Mirskys for tea and treason" At
these social affairs the prince and his
cultivated wife were the only serious
persons present, and their seriousness
was not suspected The princes ap-
pOintment came like a cataclySm. All
Russia gasped. The conservatives were
shocked into silence, and the radicals
halted midway between rejoicing and
tears Nobody seemed to know what it
meant. and no two persons were agreed
as to the cause of it. To the outside
world it appeared to be either the firm
stand taken by an autocrat who had
become a convert to the doctrine of
constitutional rights or the weak con-
cession of a terrified despot compelled
to offer sop to his forcibly held prov
inces.
Some there were, no doubt, who pre-
ferred to look upon the matter as a
perpetuation of the ''Mirsky joke" The
princes dignity and earpestness made
their contention absurd. From the first
he grasped the power conferred upon
him by his Office with firmness and in
telligence. Those who predicted disas-
ter have been brought to wonder and
admire. The nation once more breathes
freely, and all parties and reforms have
begun to hope.
Today the situation in the Russian
capital is unparalleled. Even the Ash
attic war and its attendant problems
have been relegated to second place in
the minds of the people, who are luxu-
Rating in a license of liberal speech
hitherto unknown in all the Russias.
For the first time in the history of the
empire the subject of representative
government is being discussed freely by
those whose silence has heretofore been

Interest to War News Readers,

Readers Of war news note similar
ity in the names of rivers cities and
places. A few words of explanation
will make clear this feature of the
reading matter. In Manchuria Flu.
when connected with the name of a
city, means that it is capital of a
province, a first class city. Chou
indicates II second class city and Via
small town. Kiang, Ho. Ychuan and
Ychu all mean a stream, or river,
while Hal means sea, or lake. Shan
is mountain and huan camp, or
strongly fortified place.
At times these terms are used to-
gether. As an instance, Shan Hal
Kuan means fortified camp where
the mountains and sea meet. At the
beginning of geographical names the
following prefixes may be found: va
meaning large; Siao. small; Pei,
north; Nan, south; Hei, black; 81,
west, and Tung, east. In Korea
Han stands for river and Do, as a
termination, means that the place is
q province. Po means a port or lar.

the boil weevil plague and prevent

was delivered by Governor Blanch-
ard Of Louisiana, to which res
ponse was made by Governor Fra

tinguished speakers during the con-
gress will be Secretary of Agricul-
ture James Wilson, DR.. w. D. Hun

that the flight of the weevil during
the past summer increased fully so
miles north and east into territory
hitherto uninfested, indicating hab-
it that is beyond the power Of the in
dividual states to control. The COM
mittee adds that danger threatens
