Why Runslan SOlliera Sing.

1t has been pointed out to me by m
enlightened critic that must be mis-
taken In describing the lot Of the Rus
sian soldier as an unhappy one. Rus
sian regiments always sing on the
march," he explains. and therefore, OF
course. the men must be happy. He Is
perfectly right about the singing. Rus
sian soldiers are always singing: they
sing on the march. they sing In the
brain. they sing while they are eating
their black bread and kapusta (sour
cabbage, they sing in the kharchevna
public house,. ! have also seen gang
OF over 400 prisoners In chains on their
way to Siberia, ana they, too. sang as
they marched to the station and after

that they must have been quite happy
and contented!

THE "HELlO BOOK"


Telephone Directories.
Undoubtedly the hardest book in the
world to edit, print and publish Is the
telephone directory. To get out a sin
gle edition Of two or three thousand
copies Of novel or schoolbook, even
given plenty of time for painstaking
work, is regarded by publishers rs a
great undertaking, yet the telephone
officials in the large cities In the Unit.
ed States have every three months to
bring out simply enormous, ever en-.
larging editions Of book that is sub.
1ect to every conceivable sort of change
up to the very moment before 1t goes
to press. The compilation is one that
must be MS accurate as tho most care
fully prepared text book and as elastic
in its makeup as daily newspaper.
Naturally every precaution has to be
taken to secure the required freedom
from mistakes. The directories of the
various divisions of the Bell system
are made up at the headquarters Of the
different companies from data that are
turned in day by day by the managers
Of the local exchanges. Grea test pains
Of course, must he taken to avoid d,l.
plication of names and mistakes in
spelling and enumeration. All tho ad.
ditions and changes as well as with
drawals appear on the proof sheets in
red ink, and the average page before IL
goes to the printer looks pretty much
as If serious tight had taken place
over it. In the case Of the New York
Telephone company. where about 1G,-
600 new instruments are installed in n
single period Of ninety days and where
there arc perhaps half as many dscon-
tlnuances or other changes, the book is
subject to something like 10000 correc-
tions.
Even after the page proofs have
come back to the chief of the catalogr
Ing Department. after most careful
proofreadng and elimination Of every
disccrniblc mistake, they are still liable
up TO the last minute to be filed uD
with the names of lately enrolled sub

exigcncics of bookmaking people

Of getting into the telephone directory

names begin with Y, 7 or Z.

had dream in which he had been as
surcd that one Samuel LonGslnith Of
Bolton was the murderer.
Longsmith lived some twenty miles
away and was n person whom The
dreamer had met but once or twice.
His wife told him to think no moro
about it, but II go to sleep. y second
time he nwolic from the effects of the
same dream and announced his reso-
luton to take steps tho following morn
ing to see what could come of 1t. 40
cordngly he went to Bolton the next
day and sought Il warrant for the ar
rest of Longsmith. The magistrate,
however. refused to grant IT upon such
evidence. Passing through the market
place, he met Longsmith and invited
him to go to n public house 10 hear
something he had to communicate to
him. There, locking the door hc

of that time and after many hours'
prayer he confessed that lie had been

who made some resistance, his three
companions murdered him This con

Tho Dogs Memory.

John Burroughs. poet and nature stu
dent and friend of both Theodore
Roosevelt and Alton B. Parker in an
interview in the Philadelphia LEDGER
said
Thompson Seton writes absurdities
which, as he ayOws himself he wishes
20 make people believe implicitly. They
are very charming. but lie ought not
to try 10 disguise them in the light Of
truth. For instance, the imaginary in
cidont of fox that is pursued by the
hounds jumping upon sleeps back
and riding there to escape them. You
don't catch kipling doing things like
ihat. His animal episodes are always
true to natural history, however re-
markable.
NOW as to dogs. y dog has no
psychic life. He has no intellect. He
has only what the psychologists term
sense memory that is. memory by as
ISOLATION. The dog has become half
human from ages OF association with
man, So you can affirm almost any
thing of him except the faculty Of
thought and Of abstract memory.
My ncighbor up in the country had
dog that was always 'scrapping' with
my dog. one day my dog died. After
that. whenever | walked abroad and
met my neighhor's dog he never failed
to look all around me for his late enc
