tnree-quarters' difference between us.
But what took the conceit ont OF
both crews was the fact that there, ~
Ing comfortably at her berth loading
up for her next trip, was Green's old
Renown. one of the finest Blackwell
ships that ever aoated. We had seen
her taking in wool beside the quay at
Sandridge, now Port Melbourne. She

had made the passage without a sin

don't usually ship again under your

A DINNER WITH ToLsTol.
The Countess Does Not Agree in All
the Great Russians Theories.

Edward A. Steiner describes a Wis
it to Tolstoi in the Woman's Home
Companion. He says:
Countess Tolstoi, as every one
knows, does not agree with her hus-
band in ali his theories; but she
agrees with the world which worships
him, and ! believe that she is very
proud OF him, and very devoted, al
though her devotion has been severe
ly taxed III various ways. She mas
copied yal Is of unreadable manu-
script while babies of various sizes
were pulling at her skirts; she has
translated books into three or four
languages, and has transformed all
sorts OF garments to meet the needs
OF the changing sixteen, her children
For many. many years she has mad no
new bonnet or gown. and has never
theless been cheerful and happy; and
is it possible that there can be
greater test of a wife's goodness or
a woman's greatness?
''As | have said, the countess re-
ceived me cordially, although L may
have been the straw which threaten

much as the house already contained
dozen strangers, and it looked as IL
Mrs. Tolstoi was keeping a boarding
house. At nine o'clock dinner was
served, and | was led into the family
diniag-room, which is a large apart
ment where signs of luxury are not
wanting. There are ancestral por-
traits upon the walls; piano stands
open and looks we'll used; there is a
table covered by books and magazines.
and then in the center the large dim
! ing table around which gathers host
OF people of strange faces and forms,
with unpronounceable names, and
some with undiscovered histories.
The countess sat at the head OF the
table. To the left sat the count, and
before him kettle containing his
favorite kasha-the coarsest kind or
peasants food He helped himself
from this freely, and somewhat care
lessly, as a man might who eats kasha
365 times in the year. ! sat next to
the count.
1.-TWO servants waited on the table
The meat was of the Hamburg-steak
variety. The count never eats meat;
kasha and two eggs constituted his
dinner. 1t must be over 20 years
since he has eaten meat, and probably
longer than that since he has tasted
liquor or smoked tobacco.
There was much animated CONVEX
sation jolly laughter and good-natured
| joking, and the serious seemed to be
banished, for we ate. drank and were
merry, and forgot that l was sitting
close to man with whom had tried
| to settle the affairs of the universe
| Just a short hour ago."

diet taller race of soldiers. Small
boys in government schools were fed
for six or seven years in the Euro
mean way. They never became recon

them. Nor did they grow any taller
than vegetarian children. The doc

mental diet sent in their report last

way for securing tall soldiers than by
encouraging Japanese to marry Euro
peans.

Wreathed with the foam, appears at eve

Character in Typewriting.

It will come as surprise to many people to know that there Is great deal of character in typewriting. Were half dozen operators to use the same machine, paper, and actual words, each printing off dozen sheets, and were all these to be mixed up indis. criminately, a practiced eye could dis. tinguish each operators work instant ly.
 In a recent law case, where a lengthy typewriter document of many sheets was in question, 1t was alleged that one of the pages included had been substituted for another sheet. Al though to casual eye all the sheets seemed to be the work of one hand, ex- perts showed that the spacing was quite different, especially between the end of one sentence and the beginning of another, and on the substituted sheet the new paragraphs began in quite a different position on the lines, and the letters were shaky instead of upright and firm. And the punctuation-the crucial test-was wholly different.
 The experts were unable to trace the person who had done the bogus type. writing, but they agreed that 1t was young woman, and only beginner at typewriting; that she was nervous, not very strong. and that her education r,oa only moderatalv good
