That is an interesting move which has been made by some Russian Jews in Baltimore. About two years ago thirty families of Russian Jews living in Baltimore organized to form a col ony in the country. Each family paid S1 a week into the common treasury until 2,500 had been accumulated, and then a farm of about 25O acres of land in Howard county was purchased for $l4, 800, leaving a mortgage of $l2,0OO on the property. The plan is to build a small house for each family upon this farm and to divide the land among them to be cultivated, giving to each family between eight and nine acres, which will be owned by the family. The occupation of these people is tail- bring, and that occupation after remOv- al to the country is to be continued by the women while the men cultivate the soil. During a considerable part of the year there is no outdoor work to be done, and the men can then also pursue their calling indoors.
 After the colonists succeed in paying for their country homes the advan- tages of the arrangement will be man. fold. The persons engaged in sewing, instead of being confined in the sweat shop and breathing the fetid air, will do their work amidst wholesome envi- ronment, where the air is pure and abundant and light will shine in through open windows. Upon eight acres of land an industrious man should have no difficulty in producing almost all the food his family requires, includ- ing vegetables, milk and poultry. The food thus produced should be whole some and abundant, and children fed upon it will not be weak and puny, as those raised in the city sweatshop are almost sure to be. Working under these conditions, with good air and an abundance of wholesome food, more work can be accomplished than in the sweatshop. The Howard county colony is near enough to Baltimore for the garments when completed to be sent in by wagon and more work brought back.

fl DAT OF DAYS.

Day Of all the week ths best' was appropriate enough 10 sing yesterday. as was also This is the day the Lord hath made" It was so good a day that even the most chronic compIainer would have been obliged 70 confess that he couldn't have done bstter if ae had had the makingof ithimself. New Haven has looked uncommonly well this sea- con, but yesterday sine looked as fne as apples of gold in pictures of silver. We don't know just how fine shat is. but it sounds good and consistent. There could perhaps be nothing finer. except peaches of radium in pictures of diamonds, and nobody has se=n those yet, so nobody knows just how they would look. Apples of gold in pictures of silver got themselves approved long ago, and are certainly all right.
 Those who took walks or drives yes- terday around New Haven saw a sight that even Sunny Italy or Southern Cal ifornia couldn't excel. What a glori- ous city it will be on some bright Sep tember day in the future when all who live here are rich, happy, learned and entirely settled in their minds about cuts and things. It is so good now that everybody who has eyes to see and a, mind to perceive will be con- tented to live here until he dies, and may even then feel like the Center church woman who, dying, had but one fear, and that was that when she get to Heaven she should miss the priv ileges she enjoyed in New Haven.
 By the way, do the people of New Haven know that there are such places as East Rock and West Rock? The indications are that they don't. If they did they would surely have been at one or the other of them yesterday, looking down on scenes of beauty and splendor. Perhaps they will yet learn that there are such places and possi- Ibly perhaps they will yet be able to visit them without having to walk their legs off or walk all their time away. We mean the common people" the numerous ones who most need the brightness and the shadow of the great rnnl<c in J1raorxy

IS RUSSIA REALLY 1EARNING ?

Russia isn't as blind as it has been, and there is apparently some freedom of expression there now. Thus the Novoe Vremya, a conservative paper, and semi official in character, has this to say about what the war has taught Russia: The war has taught Russia three things: Its inability to utilize the times of peace for industrial de- velopment, it's inability to govern it. self, and it's inability to protect itself. The greatest of all Christian monar- chies has suffered defeat at the hands of a three times smaller heather pow CT. But this is not all. Tn the process of the war this heather power has re- vealed itself as the bearer of a Chris tian civilization, while Russia is a bearer of an Oriental barbarism. Ja- pan fought like civilized Europe; Rus sia like an Asiatic country. Japan is the first of the Asiatfc countries to have truly acquired the freedom of Europe, Russia is the last of all countries to have maintained the Asiatic regime. Many enlightened persons in Russia look upon the late war as the last struggle of barbarism against the tri- umphant civilization of the west. It is clear as day that the retarded social order of Russia excludes her from the family of civilized nations.
 This is plain talk, and if such talk as that is allowed in Russia there is hope.

 What beautiful law! What high minded and moral thing to do, for a judge to pass upon his own case.
 Is it possible that the library direct ors have friends that they wish to get into the library and are afraid they can't get through the examination? No, certainly not; some of the directors are reformers and most of the others have at times associated with members of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform association, which proves implacably that they have only the highest thoughts.

4 TARIFF TAX.

A good many people in Germany are convinced that the tariff is a tax. The agitation in Germany caused by the high prices and the diminished supply of butchers meat, due to the closing of the frontiers against importation, is assuming national proportions. and is winning the support of great munich palities, such as Berlin and Cologne. At @ recent meeting of the Berlin Munich pal Council, the Second Burgomaster, Dr. Reicke, disputed the statements of the Prussian minister of agriculture. Gen. von Podbielski, and showed from statistics that serious scarcity of meat prevailed, and that prices had risen to an amount which, so far as the masses are concerned, is almost prohib- itive He had received dozens of peti tfons from petty officials and others, who declared that heads of households were no longer in 8 position to buy meat for their families. The govern ment, he said, would ultimately be con- pelled to listen to the representations of the capital of the empire. Various other speakers, including Herr Singer the Socialist leader, expressed the opin- ion that the present meat rates would vastly increase the numbers of the so- ciai Democracy. It was reckoned that the average meat consumption of a family of four persons in Berlin had hitherto been 300 kilograms per annum involving an expenditure of 270 marks. In view of the rise in prices, this ex- pendtture was now increased to 39O marks A resolution was unanimously adopted appointing a committee to con- slider and report upon the situation, and upon the expediency of petitioning the government in favor of opening the frontiers.

Madame Maxim Gorki protests against the story so often told of her husband that he was born in poverty and vagabondage and picked up his ed- ucation after his youth was gone. He was the son of well-to-do parents, and although he did not attend school, his grandfather, who was a painter, brought him up and gave him his les sons. Mural painting was to be his profession, but an irresistible desire to see the world impelled him to leave home and lead the life of tramp. He has repeatedly traversed the greater part of the vast Russian country on foot. His evenings he has usually spent reading such books as he could pick up, and often the only light he could get was made with the oil from the box of sardines on which he had supped AL though he has never practiced the pro- fession he was educated for, the gov ernrnent directed it's indictment to Maxim Gorki, architectural painter and author"

He has indulged fad for arctic exploration, being compelled to abandon his ship, which was caught in the ice pack off Prince Rudolph Island.
