BY Associated Press.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2S.-The utter
impOtency of the police in the face of
the revolutionary organization is
shown by the increasing boldness of
the latter all over st. Petersburg.
Even on the steps Of the public build
ings simple notices Of Grand Duke
Sergius's death were found. They
read:
The sentence of death passed
upon Sergius Alexandrovftch was exc
cuted February II.
"(Signed) The Fighting Organization
of the Socialist Party
Moreover the notices were neatly
printed, thing unknown in the DAYS
of the late Interior Minister Won
Plehve, when similar notices were al
ways run off on copying machines.
The secret police were then TOO close
on the heels Of the terrorists to permit
of the use of a printing press.
To Shield Dukes Life.
The Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna.
whose husband, the Grand Duke VIad-
imir, is high on the list of those con-
demned by death. is trying to shield
his life with her own. Since Red Sun
day the duke has not only been show
cred with threats and warnings, but
has twice received from abroad formal
letters signed by different groups
informing him of his sentence Of death
and of the assignment of men to exc
cute il.
AT the same time the Grand Duchess
Marie, like the Grand Duchess Eliza
beth in the case of Grand Duke Ser
gius, was notified that her life and
her sons lives would be spared. and
she was appealed to not to go abroad
in her husbands company. The Iet-
ters naturally terrorized the family
and house of the grand duke. who
has aged greatly during the last few
weeks under the strain Of what he
insists is the unjust criticism which
placed the responsibility for the blood
shed Of January II wholly on his shout.

don Bridge and Temple Bar.
London in 100 was a comparatively
small city of about 100000 inhabit-
ants, the rough and i'll kept main roads
to which had been but slightly improv-
ed since Tudor times. The CHASTITY
spectacle of many of the trees on the
Southwark road bending under their
burden Of hanged men had indeed been
slightly modified, but none the less the
decomposing heads of TRAITORS" still
filed the atmosphere about London
bridge and Temple bar with myriads
of baneful microbes.
Our immediate forbears were evil
IDENTITY not overparticular about sight
and smells. They were accustomed
to see men sitting in the pillOry pelted
with rotten eggs and possibly included
among their immediate circle not a
few who had been deprived Of their
noses and ears for expressing too free
~ their opinions, political and religious.
The drains were in an appalling con-
dition. The innumerable churchyards
were so full of collins that they often
projected through the turf. Bear and
bull batting, dog fights and boxing
matches were attended even by royal
ty as late as 1920, and five years later
all the candles" in London were pay
ing high prices to stand in the carts
round Tyburn to behold twenty-five OF
their fellow creatures hanged for mis-
demeanors which in our time would be
punished with a few days imprison-
ment.-Saturday Review.

NO MONOPOLY OF BRAINS.

This Is the Age Of Opportunity For
the Able Man.
One Of the many hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent decay of the
breed Of so called great men, those
mighty personalities that in former
times stood out like solitary tree in
vast prairie The reason for 1t, OF
course, is the distinction Of all those
old time monopolies Of brains which
stunted all human beings except a few
who by chance rather than by SUPERB
ority of fiber grew and developed
There are thousands, literally thou
sands, of men now living who II they
had lived a century or so ago and had
done q work similar to that which they
are doing without any very sonorous
fanfare upon the trumpets OF fame
would have been the talk of the world
and the main topic Of history. Ana
how many Of the SO called great
achievements of so called great states
men, soldiers and thinkers OF former
times would be impossible today De-
cause those achievements depended
chiefly upon the ignorance and incapac-
ity of the overwhelming mass OF tne
men Of their day!
Truly this is the age OF opportunity.

JACK TAR'S SPREE.

The Second Section of 1t Cost Less
Than the First.
In the Sailors home in Brooklyn the
navy boys deposit for safe keeping in
the course Of a year many thousands
Of dollars. Some time ago one of them
after being paid off at the end Of his
enlistment had 500, which he deposit
ed with the superintendent of the home
all but $50, with which he intended
to have a good time. Along toward
midnight he returned in a hilarious
condition and asked for $50 more.
The superintendent handed him two
one dollar bills, and the sailor went
off apparently satisfied. The following
morning he dropped in and requested
the superintendent to give him the bal
ance of his money, as he was going
home. The superintendent offered him
$64S.
NO" said the sailor; "I'm not that
kind of chap. 1 don't want to cheat
you out of $4S 1 drew 500 from you
last night, and you've paid me $4S too
much"
You're mistaken" said the superin-
tendent. when you came the second
time gave you only 81, and this Is the
balance due you"
"All right, governor" replied the JACK
tar. "But, would you believe 1t, had
lust as much fun on that 81 as if it had
been $5O?'-New York Press.

THE BUSHIDO,
Worn1 Doctrines of the Sam urai That
Rule In Japan.


Rule In Japan.
The bushido" means "the moral doc
trines of the samurai," and they are
obeyed by all the statesmen, soldiers
and scholars of Japan of the present
time with as much holy respect as the
Christians reverence for the Bible
and its teachings. In Japan Buddhism
IS the popular religion, but Buddhist
teachings are not respected by educat.
ed men or soldiers. In fact, most of
them are atheists or agnostics, who
DO not believe in any religion but the
doctrines Of "the bushido"
1.-THE bushido," for instance, teaches
man or woman to have the courage to
perform the hara kiri if he or she COM
m1tS serious offense The spirit of
this doctrine is that the offender should
kill himself instead Of waiting to be
executed by the law, which latter Is
considered in Japan as one of the most
cowardly thing. 1.-THE bushido" also
teaches that the life of a Japanese is
a gift Of the holy mikado, and II the
country needs the lives Of her people
they should be- given gladly, for that
Is only to return to the mikado what
they have received from him.
To die on the battlefield is the only
key for Japanese to find his way to
his Shinto heaven, and the soldiers
who were not killed on the battlefield
are considered unfortunate. 1t is main.
tanned in Japan that If a man gives
you favor or money or pleasure you
should return it with more than what
was given to you.-HydesaburO Ohashi

A TEST OF READING.

With How Many of These Authors
Are You Acquaintedf
Let him who pretends to be master
Of English letters say whether he has
read the prose works Of Milton and Of
Dryden. Has he first hand knowledge
Of the Elizabethan dramatists other
than Shakespeare? Has he really pc
rused all of Edmund Sponsors poetry :?
What does he know from his own read
Ing Of the Advancement of Learn
ing?" Has he read all Of Sir Thomas
Brownies prose and John Donne's po-
etry? And the great English pulpit
orators-Jeremy Taylor, Fuller, South
and Barrow-has he mastered their ser
mons?
Can he truthfully testify that he
knows all of Swift, Johnson and
Burke, all Of Bishop Berkeley, Daniel
Defoe, the novels of Richardson, Field
ing, Smollett and Sterne, the histories
of Hume, Robertson and Gibbon and
also Hume's philosophical essays, the
prose of Coleridge, Wordsworth's ''Ex-
cursion," all Of Shelley, Jane Austen's,
Maria Edgeworth's and Disraeli's nov
els? These are English classics, books
which no gentleman's library should
be without and with the contents Of
which a well read man ought to be &C.
quainted.
One would wager much against little
that the ordinary man who calls him
self we'll read has not read 50 per cent
Of the classics here enumerated.-San

Carnival Dancing.

Among the most picturesque OF the
carnival festivities Of Europe must be
classed that of the GILES, or dancing
men, of Binche, in Hainault. These
men, 200 strong, in their remarkable
headdress of tall ostrich feathers and
their lace decked costume fringed with
bells, dance from an appointed place
to the town hall, bombarding the spec
tators with oranges as they go. Ar
rived at the town hall, the public joins
in the fun, and soon some 5000 per-
sons-men, women and children-may
be seen gayly Waiting around the
Grande place.

Lions Like Lavender Water.

The old theory of animal liking for
scents denied them any share In such
pleasures unless they suggested the
presence of their food or prey. But
such a reason can hardly be alleged for
a lions liking for lavender water. The
writer, wishing to test for himself the
reported fondness Of many animals for
perfumes, paid a series Of visits to the
geological garden provided with bottles
of scent and packet Of cotton wool
and there tried some harmless expert
ments which apparently gave great
satisfaction to many Of the inhabitants.
Lavender water was the favorite scent,
and most Of the lions and leOpards
showed unqualified pleasure when the
scent was poured on the wool and put
into their cages.-Spectator.
