Ever since nail was first driven or
wheelbarrow first mended the handy
man has been praised. But the handy
woman has been taken for granted,
and her accomplishments have been
so little celebrated that the woman Of

Once a man. sad of heart, started
on the road to happiness. On that
road he met n traveller, of bright and
smiling countenance. who entreated
him to linger amid the violets of the
valleys. But the man OF the sad

said: mo; my goal is yonder. whore
the hills are rich, and wreathed in
mist and lightning" And so they
parted company. But when the man

When Governor General Trepoff
was appointed by the Gar virtual die
tator OF Russia, the first thing he did
to give the people a taste Of his power
was to summon additional bodies Of
Cossacks to St Petersburg to put
down public meetings and to shoot
down persons who dared to partici-
pate in public professions. His next
step was to call a meeting OF the
heads OF the universities and colleges
and to advise them to raise the tuition
fees to 800 rubles TO prevent the
matriculation Of poor students.

wayman's command. and it is needless
to relate that Trepoff was obeyed by
