 to note how the maids of society women differ from one another There are certain well-defined requirements for servants and one butIer is much like another; yet every matron has her own ideas about her own maid and the nurses TOT her children Mrs. Burke Roche would not change her quiet, elderly Englishwomah | for any French maid living. Clad in ], black. with a sober English cap placed souarely on her gray hair, this woman 1 has been with Mrs Roche since her child

 wear a pair of earrings, but simuly one

New York, October 23.-(Spee.al)-lso- lation is burden which man has never yet been able to fully throw off It is a condition which is inimical to the welfare of communities as well as individuals It dwarfs the social instinct. infringes intelligence and promotes primitive ten dencies.
 Isolation is blight on farm life in the south The physiological law in the case is simple In his isolation. the farmer lacks mental diversion. His mental activ- ities are confined within narrow lnes He reads little and thinks on but few topics leaving inactive a portion of his mental faculties. Lack of activity in any faculty tends to deterioration. This fact accounts for the tendency toward suicide among farmers. The isolated farmer has little to stimulate mental activity. He engages in few debates. His powers of dscernment and his skill at fine distinctions become dwarfed through sluggish mental habits. Fine reasoning is not possible with dulled intellect. An isolated people In the fact of tense crises are often impelled to act more from brute force than from reason. An individual dwelling apart from his fellows may so descend the scale of wisdom as to eventually lose the power of independent action on lines that con form to the demands of well-ordered so- ciety.
 This matter of isolation is one of in tense importance to the people of the south. It is accountable largely for the tendency toward assault among the lower classes of negroes. It is also, In a meas ure. the cause of the ungovernabe mob spirit which so often responds to these outrages. Men on the keen edge of per- ception, abounding in that degree of phil osophy and wisdom which usually attends alert mental habits, can generally be depended on for moderation in all things. The leaders of thought in the south should endeavor to mature plans hav- ing in view the ultimate mitigation of this dangerous problem. There is but one prac- tical line of action in the premises and that Is through immigration. Immigration will not only minimize the isolation of the individual but 1t will. through the introduction of new customs, new habits

and new ideas, tend toward mental diver sion. The immigrant who imports new methods of farming or fruit culture pro- Vokes debates, gossip and discussion. His new and novel ideas set his neighbors to
 thinking. Village farming offers means of greatly improving this serious condi- tion. This system as practiced in Ger many and other countries of Europe de- serves the closest investigation by the southern people. The time seems ripe for the introduction of village farming in the southern states. Modern means O. rapid transit, and ready communication by tel ephone, render village farm methods prac- tical.

HAD OVER A MILLION
Russian Forces in the Far East at
 Time of Peace.

St. Peterbsurg, October 23.-Accordng to the military attaches who recently re- turned from the front. Russia had con siderably in excess of a million soldiers in the far east when peace was directed.
 About 100000 men faced the Japanese below the Tsugari river, in addition to a considerable army held in reserve at Har- bin. The remainder of this force was partly at Vladivostok and partly scat tered through the province of Prinorsk IS far south as the Tumen river. The at taehes say that Lieutenant General Line witch had brought his army to a high state of efficiency. They were specially impressed by the Russian common sol- dier, who would be a match for any in the world if properly trained.
