KEEP OUT OF RUTs
NARRoWMINoED PERSON NEVER
is POPULAR.
At Least Have Some Form of Diversi.
fled Interest on Which You Can
Converse With a Friend--Mistakes
of Some Women.

Do you live in rut? Women are
very apt to do SO, although the ma
jGrity of them are 10th to admit it.
Narrowmindednes which is so often
a result of a life spent within con.
tracted limits, is common to women,
they say, but the accused will answer,
why, my life is not narrow. have
my house, or my profession. or my
social circle Do you call that living
in rut?''
Any or all of these interests may,
however, result in stagnation, mental
" and physically, and, what is worse,
conversationally. Either a woman or
a man is at liberty to devote all OF his
or her interest to certain object.
But what about the friends Of that
person? One may have sympathet-
ic interest in friends occupation or
in her children, or in her bridge play.
ing, but one occasionally becomes a
little wearied of repetition, a con.
slant recurrence to that pet subject
of the innocent but shortsighted wom-
an who harps eternally upon one sub
ject. She devotes her mind and en-
ergies to that subject to the exclusion
of ali others. She dreams of it, she
ponders over it, and only too readily
she reyerts to it SO constantly that
her friends at last wish themselves
miles away.
A schoolgirl is apt to be blamed be-
cause her conversation is limited to
her school-her friends there and her
studies and pleasures, which are shad-
owed by the walls of the schoolhouse.
when she herself finds a continual
source of conversation in her servants
and her household gods? Does it in
terest her friends any more to discuss
the children's bright sayings. to praise
her waitress neatness and her cook S
superiority. than to listen to school
girls prattle?
The society devotee is quite as APT
to oyerdo the matter as her more do.
nestle sister. and the woman with a
profession talks shop" entirely too
much as rule.
But she should not allow herself to
dwell entirely upon one phase of life.
There is plenty OF interest in other
peoples affairs, there are gay and alb
sorbing pictures in the vista of daily
life, and every woman should watch
herself carefully lest she fall into a
rut OF one sort or another. 1t is sur.
prising to find how readily the habit
Is formed-more readily, Of course,
by women than by men, as the latter
are thrown more into the worlds hap
penipgs.
A woman should ever beware of
making herself the central subject OF
her talk-her home, her profession,
her health. how naturally she comes
to consider them And it is quite nat
ural that she should But before she
burdens her friends too much with
her history let her stop and wonder
whether she would like to listen to
her friend Mrs. x. and her personal
troubles or her sewing society prob
lens for hours at a stretch.
1t is not meant by this that one
should not speak of or ask sympathy
in ones own interests, but there is
limit to patience, and if woman must
have hobby" she should not expect
her friends to ride it constantly. too

TANKS Of the remnants of the broken,
defeated Russian army General Kuro-
patkin, the old idol Of the private sol
dier, has been dismissed and disgraced
and General Linevitch, commander Of
the First Army, has been appointed to
succeed him in command of all the
Russian land and sea forces operating
against Japan. The word disgrace
Is written in large letters in the laconic
imperial order gazetted which con-
tains not a single word Of praise and
also disposes of the rumor that Kuro-
patkin had asked to be relieved.
The Russian military annals contain
no more bitter imperial rebuke. While
1t was known that the war council had
already decided to supplant Kuropat-
kin after the Mukden disaster. the de-
cision to confer the task of saving the
remainder Of the army on Linevitch in
the very midst of it's fight came as a
surprise. 1t transpires that Emperor
Nicholas upon the advice of General
Dragomiroff and War Minister Sakha-
rolf determined that the step was nee
essary when it became apparent that

that the Japanese had worked around
westward again and practically al

regarding Kuropatkin's failing mental
ity also had influence.
A dispatch from Chang-tu-fu reports
that General Kuropatkin has left there
for st. Petersburg
Under the circumstances. therefore.
1t was considered imperative, in view
of the exceedingly perilons position of
the army, to turn over its command to
Linevitch, who alone had been able to
bring off his army in order after the
battle Of Mukden. His record during
the Chinese war had also demonstrated
his capacity as a commander.
The task confded to Linevitch of
Withdrawing what is left of the great
army of $50, 600 men to Harbin seemed
desperate one.
General Linevitch is in his sixty
sixth year. He saw his first fighting

1877, and was in command of the Rus
