The BROTHERLY RUSSIAN.


Brother Is word often in Russian
mouths, and two writer's. ii. j. Wing
ham and Senator \. J. Beverldge, the
one an Englishman, the other Amerl'
can. who have had ample opportunl-
ties for observation, agree in saying
that the kindly word springs from a
kindly feeling. "1'he brOnzed Korean,
the queued Chinaman and the billie
eyed. yellow-haired Russian soldier ar
range themselves on an open nat car
in n human mosaic Of mutual agree
ableness. There is no race prejudice
there" writes Mr. Beveridge III his pa
per in Uarper's entitled The Russian
Advance" Superior to all the world
as the Russian believes himself, he
shows no offensive manner toward the
other races with which he so pictur-
esquely mingles.'
Mr.. Whigham lays equal stress on
this point, and asserts that race aver
sion invariably present in the case or
the other Western races, is lacking IN
the Russian. Some years ago, ne
writes in "Manchuria and Korea be-
fore the South African War, the con-
versation In a drawing-room in JO-
honnesburg turned upon the treatment
of the Kaffirs. Several Englishmen
were there one OF the lransVaai
iudges and>a Russian noble. All the
others agreed that no black man could

Reasoning of Bees,

Honeycomb shows how economy Of
room, building materials and mathe-
matical theories may coincide, and
shows also that the bees have taken
advantage of the fact. Some Of the
savants have asserted that the rectan-
gle or the equilateral triangle would
have been quite as efficient as work
ing plans for constructing cells for
storing honey. But probably the bees,
originally, made their cells to tit their
brood, and would not thus build a cell
which would surround a larva with
untitled corners. The heXagonal cell
was better fitted for their needs, Sc
they developed it.

down her back. Pauline was deep in
thought. for the Duke of Bennoir had
just sent her the exquisite bunch OF
roses she held in her hand. with the lit
tie note lying open on the table, and she
was making up her mind as to whether
she should accept or reject the offer she
knew he would make when he called by

Did I look really well last night,
Babette?" she asked.
"Mademoiselle is irresistible when she

startling Babette that the ivory-backed
brush flew out of her hand. and she
stood with round eyes and open mouth
regarding her mistress face in the glass

By an effort Babette recovered hei
usual subdued, respectful expression.

Retreat for Birds and Squirrels.

Albert Hudson, a farmer near Spice
land, this county, has fifteen-acre
tract Of land which is a paradise for
students of nature, says the Indianapo-
lis News. Mr.. Hudson is Il student of
nature, and he selected this tract as a
place where he could continue his in
yestigations and where birds and
squirrels would be undisturbed. Pro-
fessor Cooper, of the Spiceland Acad-
emy, accompanied by the class in ma
ture, recently spent several hours in
the tract. and they recognized twenty
eight different species of birds, besides
which there We're numerous squirrels
gray, fox. ground. etc. The tract is
thickly wooded Hunters are not al
lowed to trespass on this domain, and
no tree is permitted to be cut down
Mr.. Hudson intends keeping the tract
intact during his life. and he will make
provision in his will for its main
tenance after his death.

than the bases in baseball, and ar
ranged so as to form a diamond. In
the center stands boy with ball in
his hand. At each hole is a boy with
Il stick, one end of which he rests in
the hole he is guarding. When the
