1861, whole armies were held in readi
ness to suppress the expected disturb
ances But what happened?
The people greeted the reforms not
with violence, but with blessings and
prayers With expressions Of the most
touching gratitude they accepted their
personal liberty as something sacred
and with Joy took up the many new bur-
dens which were imposed upon them,
feeling that with the new privilege
must follow new duties, and up to the
last reactionary reform in 1890 two
Russian governments. the zemstyos Of
Perm and Wjatka, were run by the
peasants themselves and by officials
elected by peasants.
These peasants governed their own
communities so well that in all Russia
there WAS no district where municipal
Institutions were more splendidly run.
Schools, hospitals, churches and public
roads were built and more improve
ments were made in these two zemst-
vos than in any others in the country,
and all this was accomplished without
borrowing a kopeck from the outside,
the taxpayers gladly contributing all
the money necessary.
And there are many other proofs.

Return Of Pendent Earrings

Cluster settings for earrings, such as
emeralds surrounded by pearls or by
diamonds, are at present the correct
thing among stage women and others
who like pronounced effects, says the
Jewellers Circular Weekly. These ear
rings are made up in the same forms
as the jeweled buttons now in vogue
on velvet frocks. Pendent earrings IN
old fashioned silver and gold, with add
ed settings Of gems, are being dis
played in some Of the oriental shops
while antique shops offer their quaint
est in earrings. If the rage for cos
tunes of certain periods should contin
ne. jewellers predict that the pendent

who has graduated from a higher edu-
cational institution Every graduate
from high school, every officer who
leaves the army to 90 into civil service,
is. according TO Russian law, given a
"tschin." and in this way "tschin"
stands rather for a certain amount Of
education than for what may be de
fined as rank. A person of noble birth
has the privilege Of obtaining a
'tschin1 easier and more quickly than
a person OF lower birth. SO that a noble
man needs only have served a very
short time in a government Office to be-

Every clerk who has passed an ex-
animation becomes a ''tschinownik"
and is thereby to certain extent safe
from arrest without special warrant.

the title Of "excellency."

CAVE THE WRONG COuNrERsIGN.
And Then a Tramp nj the strikers Meeting
Thought He'd Met Cyclcnc.

Great precautions were taken last night
to prevent outsiders from getting into the
meeting Of the strikers in Suffers
Casino Only men with union cards were
admitted and vigilant pickets stood at
the door inspecting each visitor, By o
o'clock everything was quiet. Not a sound
came even from the meeting The pickets
dozed.
Out Of the fog appeared tramp Of the
Happy Hooligan type. He zigza eyed
through the door past the Stun bering
scntinels and no one noticed him until he
got half way up the stairs TO the meeting
room Then three outgoing strikers bumpe
into him
Aside said the tramp authoritstively.
The strikers held him up and demanded
to see hs union card.
Who am r. repeated the tramp. Surely
il doesn't matter. but I'm nothing IL not
obliging Me? Why-l'm one Of Farley's
men.
The next minute he must have thought
he was the centre of n cyclone. Strikers
jumped on him from all sides. When
he was rescued by the police his tattered
clothes had almost been stripped from
him A solemn meeting was held over the
supposed spy, but the strikers decided
that he was only bum. Two cops passed
him into the street and headed him for the
Harlem River
