London, Aug. 23.-English observ-
ers Of the first rank attach great i'm
portance to the czar's outline of future
government for Russia. They note
that the sovereign power of the autoc-
racy is sustained, but they believe the
czar will incline to the will Of the ma
ton in a way to make public opinion
in the last resort practically supreme.
1t is pointed out by English publ
oists that the sutocrracy is yielding to
the voice Of the nation. What it is
doing already it may be expected to
continue doing until Russia obtains
the supremacy Of the law and the SOW
ereigntty Of the people. 1t is strongly
held that in this way and no other can
the autocracy retain even the appear
ance of power.

DANGER IN LITTLE SLEEP.

Work that Abridges the Needed
Amount of Rest Menaces Health.
Many energetic people seem to think
that they can steal from their nights
rest to accomplish their work. Some
times It is unavoidable, as when stu
dent has to prepare for examinations,
and occasionally it probably does no
harm, but the regular practice of sit
ting up until all hours of the night
is one Of the silliest things a sensible
person can do. An authority says:
There is no overstepping Of the limit
which Is more dangerous than that Of
doing work which curtails sleep"
1t Is common thing for girls in
college and students in professional
schools to lose sleep by working until
after midnight. A certain well-known
oculist, in speaking Of this practice,
said that he and his brother entered
college together, that he himself
worked like grind" and was gradu-
ated with honors, while his brother
was always at the foot Of the class.
"Now," he added, my eyesight is for
CNC1 A1lpdlACu anu Lily ACdItA 40 NC4A-
cate, while my brother has made fully
as much Of a success In life as I,
though in a different walk. and his
eyes and health are absolutely perfect,
and likely to remain so until a good
old age"
The end for which schools and col
leges are intended-namely, useful
career in life-is defeated when one
starts with weak eyes and tired,
overworked nervous system.
Of course, there is such thing as
too much sleep, but it is a decided
mistake to rouse up an energetic young
person or growing school child who
has oversight. If the rest was not
thoroughly needed, he would probably
not have oversight. Work while you
work and rest while you rest" Is
good motto for all industrious young
people.

has been placed, and it is expected
the monument will be in place in time
for the unwilling on June Is, the first
anniversary of the disaster.
Though marking the burial place Of
the unidentified dead, the monument is
intended to stand as general me-
mortal of the disaster. 1t will be Of
granite, bearing on one side q bronze
plate with the burning steamer in bas

conner to California is impressed with
the untiring persistence with which
the Californian proclaims the giofles
of his commonwealth. This general
sentiment has found its expression IN
the organization Of no less than l46
chambers of commerce and develop
ment associations. These Quasi-public
bodies expend in their regular routine
work all the way from $4,000 to $25,-
600 each per year. They, of course,
must not be confused with civic I'M
provement clubs, with societies for the
discussion of public questions, or with
municipal advancement associations.
In addition to the funds raised by pop
ular subscription, the purposes Of pub
lie advertising are legally approved by
an enabling act Of the State Leglsla
ture. The supervisors Of the fifty
seven counties of California are en-
powered to expend for advertising an
amount which averages two cents per
every 500 Of the total county assess
ment. In one county the fund so
raised amounts to $1,000 year. The
legal appropriation is for the purpose
of publicity and immigration.
All these development organizations
work on the community Of Interest"
plan and have a central organization
known as California Promotion Com
mittee Some Of the associations ex-
list in communities 700 miles apart.
Those who wish to come to California
are in a great measure guided by the
advice Of these bodies, and there is
not a progressive association in Cali
fornia to-day that would urge the set
tier to come to its particular locality,
with a knowledge that the locality
does not meet the demands Of the new
conner, and that he would do better
elsewhere. lone for all and all for
one'' is the motto.
As result Of this feature of adj
vertising California during the last
three years has grown more rapidly in
population, bank clearings and man
ufactures than in the decade previous.
During the colonist period, when one
way tickets are sold at low rates to
settlers, the population has increased
at the rate of 1000 q day. The new
settlers brought to California by one
road in 1904 exceeded the rush to the
British Northwest by $4,000. Through
the work of the united organizations,
great wheat ranches of thousands of
acres in extent are being divided into
small tracts for settlers, and, instead
Of wheat, fruit is raised and diversi-
fed farming Of all kinds is engaged in.

the laurel of the victor is intertwined
with the cypress of the vanquished.
Here Is the considera ton which gives
the gold coin of success its diverse,
leaden side. A preacher of the gospel
of success assembled his pulpit the 9TH
er day and spoke as follows: ''There is
another fellow trying to get the prize
that you are after. Unless you knock
him down he will knock you down and
the prize will be his" The large pro-
portion Of truth in this philosophy can
not be gainsaid. The rungs Of the lad
der we climb are some of them our
own achiev ements, but others OF them
the living bodies of Frustrated rivals.
Even in altruism there is competition.
The patriot who would serve his coun-
try serves it only in the disappointment
of others, perhaps equally patriotic,
who competed with him for position
and power. It Is therefore constant
temptation to look not SO much toward
achievement as toward victory, not SO
preventing somebody else from doing
it. Universal nature, red in tooth and
claw, shows all animals living by prey
ing on one another and man cannot
altogether disentangle himself from
his clay. 1t is the particular glory of
America that its two greatest men
achieved their greatness more by be-
ing great in themselves and less by
trampling on others than did the ma
tional heroes of the old world. Wash
ington deserved we'll of the republic
without deserving III of any Of his
fellow-cftiZens, and Lincoln's magnan'
unity and his SURPRISING gentleness to-
ward his enemies were alike remarka-
bic. Chase criticised Lincoln savagely,
but when Lincoln was urged to crush
him out by refusing to appoint him
chief justice he replied: II am not in
favor of crushing anybody out" and
Chase got the appointment. A similar
saying proceeded from him just after
his reelection. $50 long as 1 have
been here I have not willingly planted

BILE that there should be thorns. The

If they think it necessary in order to

Naturally he was blamed for every
thing that occurred in public life that
was detrimental to the country at
large. The good that he did was for
gotten or unpublished. In consequence
his term Of office is one distinguished
by discord and dissatisfaction.
He boldly took the unpopular side Of
several important questions, because
he believed them to be the right side,
without fear and without favor.
Against the pressure Of wealth, against
the influence Of his closest friends, he
determinedly held out for an elective
judiciary, negro suffrage and the sub
treasury system. Some Of the reforms
long ago became an integral part of
the government. Others have not yet
come to pass, although there have
been indications that public opinion
seemed to veer in their direction.
When the time comes that all this
is remembered and associated with his
name, Martin Van Buren, will be ap-
preciated as a great President.

Much has been said about the effect
of college training on the attitude Of a
girl toward marriage. To get some
authoritative information on the sub
ject, committee Of New York club,
composed Of graduates Of a woman's
college, asked the members whether
their desire for marriage had been in
creased since leaving college The
most interesting reply came from the
girl who said that her desire to marry
one particular man had increas ed very
much. One ought not to generalize
from a single instance, but one would
not go far wrong If he concluded that
this was a typical case. The only
thing that is ever lacking to make it
universal Is the failure of the par
ticular man to appear at the right
