100 many people keep the flowers
they have plucked for you until the
day Of your funeral. Their songs of
praise are not heard until your process
Sion rs passing their door. The mantle
OF charity does not become public nron-
erty until put in use by the preacher
who conducts the 'last sad ritesn n
man has flowers for me, want them
while am on earth and can smell
their fragrance. They will do me no
good sitting at the head of nv coffin
The grass that is kept green about nv
last resting place will be of little avail
TO me on the other shore. Here ia
where need the flowers and the SMILES

he can be of any help win come

TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA.
The Sleeping Cars and the Steamer
ON the VoIga.

The Sleeping Cars and the Steamers
on the Volga.
The sofas Of our staterooms on the
Volga river steamer, while pleasant
enough to sit on, were devoid of the
other trappings which in these degen-
crate days are thought necessary to
nights rest, and we had not yet learn
ed the peculiarities of Muscovite travel
The old fashioned Russian travels
with his own gear and makes himself
comfortable according to his own ideas,
and they are by no means narrow. A
place to sleep on is provided. The rest
he brings. On the Russian sleeping
cars those who have not their own bed
clothes and who wish to undress and
go to bed in the American fashion can
have all that Is requisite for so cents.
The porter on demand brings a linen
sack, whose seal he cuts In your pres
ence with considerable ceremony and
from which he produces a pillow,
blankets and sheets of beautiful fine
linen. This was the system on our
boat, and our minds were soon at rest.
afterward inspected the lower decks
of the ship and saw the way the third
class passengers were cared for It
was primitive, but clean and wholly
suited to the customs of the people.
Each person was provided with a spot
less board shelf to sleep on by night
and sit on by day, and he made himself
as happy or as uncomfortable as he
chose. Most of the passengers seemed
to take travelling as a migration, to
judge by the pots and kettles, furni-
ture, blankets and clothing slowed
about them--"everything but the kitch-
en- stove" that important but dan
gerous article being replaced by the
ships galley, with its bountiful hot
water always ready for the eternal
teamaking. Captain T. Bentley Mott,

The POTATO.

The circumnavigator Francis Drake
has the credit of introducing the potato
to Europe, but the Spaniards had
brought it with the tomato from the
Andes some time before, and 1t was es-
tablished there and In Italy, where they
called 1t tartufoli, long before Sir Wal
ter Raleigh shipped his cargo, In 1923,
from Virginia to England. According
to Humboldt, 1t has been cultivated in
England since 1884, in Saxony since
1928 and since 1873 in Prussia.

THE HOLTDAT.

New Years, considered as a holiday. both
gains and loses something by its coincidence
with Sunday. Now that the habit of New
Years calls is out of fashion, the day has
been characterized mainly by its pause. It is
the day of the year for business to take its
breath. There have been and are TO be an i'm
mense going over of accounts and balancing
OF ledgers. Very impressive. when New Years
falls upon week day are the suddenly desert
ed business streets, If one reflects why they are
silent 1t is because the whole city is stopping
its work to take thought of the beginning of
another year, is buckling on a new armor of
hope, is sharpening anew its sword of faith IS
Tightening the girths, that on the morrow it
may Valiantly commence another battle There
Is the aweSOmeness of the lulI before a storm.
When this falls upon q Sunday the impress
siveness is lost, because 1.-The Sabbath's holy
calm" is looked for. and the Monday observ-
ance of holiday is always like warmed
over dinner.
But there are compensations in the religious
trend that the day gives to ones thoughts This
is fitting, even desirable; yet. when New Years
comes on a week day. it is inadequately attained
considering the people as whole. Whatever
leads us TO higher thoughts is TO be welcomed
and. If a Sunday New Years loses something In
dramatic interest il gains enough in an uplift-
ing influence to make ii abundantly worth while
one year In seven; and, after all, 1t is not the
spectacular thing that usually is most dramatic
but that which goes to the heart
New Years, for all that it seems dull. is more
impressive in the city than in the country
There the birthnight of new year steals un
noticed upon the sleeping world. The black
shadows the moonIit snow are like notes OF
music. but they make IN unsnng hymn The
old year dies unmourned; the new arrives un-
eraded. The citv on that nf1hf with its ring
ing OF bells and blowing Of horns, makes con
trast that is almost pathetic The celebration
symbolizes the pressing forward of city life.
The old year is responsible for many kindly.
gracious acts: but The disappointnents and the
trials and sorrows which ii brought have 50
balanced the good that thoughts fly futureward.
not back. anG hopes are pinned 10 the new
year and its mysteries. On New Years Day

New-York tribune., 1905-01-01
GREETINGS TO THE NATION.

In these DAYS of almost universal resort to
amanuenses, stenographers and typewriters the
actual handwriting OF the leading men Of the
country is unfamiliar even to themselves and
practically unknown to the great mass OF citi-
zens. The rare opportunity to study the writ
ing Of the leading officials of the national ad-
ministration is presented to the readers of
The Tribune to-day through the enterprise of
its Washington bureau by messages to the
American people from the President, from the
Vice-President from the statutory Presidential
successor for the last six years less a few
months, and from every member of the Cabi-
net. All are of sufficient length TO afford ex-
cel!ent examples of the chirography Of these
men. The messages were written that the
readers Of The Tribune may receive and pre-
serve the personal New Years greetings of the
great executive officers of the national govern
ment
In addition to the interest afforded by an op-
portunity TO examine the handwriting of the
President and his associates, their words In
every instance present proofs of the strong
Individuality Of the men, and strike the key
notes OF their high aims which every American
may well emulate. Emphasis is given to those
special policies which each one regards as of
nrst Importance in the direction of his particu-
lar work or department The spirit of the
square dear and the insiStence upon public
honesty which characterize these admonitions
reflect the high ideals which dominate the
Roosevelt administration, and are an earnest
OF the future welfare Of the nation.
