Gar Nicholas and the Zemstvos.


-Four congresses of the Russian
zemstvos, representatives of the whole
people, have been called since the out
break of the war. The first congress
was held in st. Petersburg in private,
the government having first permitted
it and then forbidden it at the eleventh
hour. The second and the third con-
crosses Of the series met in Moscow in
private. The third congress met and
transacted business in defiance Of the
orders Of the authorities. Strangely
enough, deputation of the third con-
gress, pronounced illegal" was re-
ceived by the car and given a cour-
teous hearing. The deputies were even
asked to convey to all Russia the prom
Uses Of the car with reference to call
ing a national assembly
The fourth meeting Of the zemstvcs,
held in Moscow in July, was frowned
upon, but the members cleverly urged
that the step was necessary in order to
convey in formal way the message Of
the car to the third congress- In con-
mon with the Liberals of Russia the
outside world has been disappointed at
the meager results Of these assemblies
Of the peoples representatives. But the
fact that they met, dellberated and
made known their views to the masses
is a long step in advance for Russia.
The habit Of meeting will grow, and
one day when the government least ex-
poets it something will happen to shake
the fabric of aristocracy to it's base

Peary's Fourth Arctic Trip.

It is a matter for regret that the
equipment and departure of the ex-
petition now speeding northward
should have been attended with sensa-
tional elements which suggest the adj
venturer rather than the serious ex-
plorer. There may have been reasons
why these methods We're necessary to
attract attention to the trip. Stanley
INDUCED in great deal Of posing, but
he accomplished good work in Africa.
Peary's outfit for this voyage is the
best that could be designed, and his
plan is based upon previous expert
ence. If the coming winter proves mod
crate on his route, he will push his
base $50 miles nearer the pole than has
heretofore been possible. From that
point the force will be fresh for the
sledge journey over the ice pack, which
Peary believes will take him to the
farthest north. The explorer is to try
what he has tried before and failed in
Success this time hinges upon his abil-
ity to breast the difficulties which have
checked him in the past.

An American who has been abroad
for some years is struck with the rage
for putting handles to names which
is now prevalent in this country. He
observes that in his lifetime Daniel
Webster was simply Mr.. Webster and
not Senator" Webster. Not content
with giving high political titles, many
now have the custom Of lacking on
the name of the simplest Offices and
callings-as councilman" "se]ectman,"
'forecaster," and even conductor" In
the highest official circles, both civil
and military, titles are reserved for
formal occasions, when they mean
something.

Russia's Big Man, Witte.

SN0oASS = X0A8 N4dA1s Nv N*5ttt5
Sergius Witts, ex-premier Of Russia
and head Of the peace embassy, is one
Of the few influential men of the en-
pire who has risen from the people.
Originally a railway clerk, he has
worked his way up and is a practical
man Of affairs, welding great moral
and intellectual force in Russian Off
cialdom.
Whites role in Russia is unique. He
is a Russian of Dutch descent and has
had the manliness to quarrel with the
car and with the clique which is all
powerful in the palace. While affiliat-
ing with the autocrats, he has not fail
ed to keep skilled hand upon the
pulse Of the masses from which he
sprung. He knows the temper of the
people and long ago arrived at the con-
clusion that absolutism is doomed
The climax in Whites career came
when he stubbornly opposed the cars
far eastern policy. He opposed the Rus
sian plans Of conquest in Korea and
Manchuria, the seizure of Port Arthur
and in general every act tending to
provoke Japan. Instead Of making an
enemy Of the Japanese he advised the
car to cultivate their friendship. BE
received humiliation and loss Of posi-
ton for his pains.
WHITE has always been q sturdy foe
to reaction. He denounced the Kishi-
nef massacres, defeated for time the
classification of the Finnish army and
saved the universities from persecu-
ton. He believes in the people and,
what is more, stands for the moral
rights Of the people as derived from a
higher law than that Of the backward
empire. If Russia is to be trusted be-
cause Of the possibilities in her people,
Sergius Witte is representative to
listen to and to look to as her guide.
He has been pronounced the Giving
bridge between autocracy and consti-
tutionalism, possibly the only bridge
autocracy can cross safely"

Golfers Weekly lands hard upon the
much used proverb, Exceptions prove
the rule" declaring it to be nonsense.
The origin Of the saying is traced to
maxim in Scottish law to the effect
that exceptio probat regulam, in which
"probat'' does not mean proves" but
TESTS" and 'regulam'' does not mean
rule" but ruling" When the ruling
Of judge is questioned by filing an
exception, the ruling is tested by a de-
cision on the exception; hence 'The ex-
ception tests the ruling would be the
proper rendering and one having little
application in everyday affairs.

The ssLid,, In Canada.

Readers who are curious to know
what goes to the making of a wild
political re7el'' among our northern
neighbors are referred to the menu
here quoted, which was recently en-
joyed at picnic given by a Liberal
member Of parliament to his constttu-
ents in London, Ont The edibles, po-
tables, etc., disposed Of by, say, 5000
voters and their families, were as fol-
lows: r
$4,000 sandwiches.
400 layer cakes. ..... A.
100 angel cakes.
100 jelly rolls.
$50 gallons vanilla ice cream.
800 dozen bananas.
Is barrels lemonade.
20 dozen ginger ale.
20 dozen lemon sour.
20 dozen ginger beer.
20 dozen sarsaparilla for the blood.
20 dozen soda water.
5000 cigars. =
5000 bags of candies.
The spread looks very innocent to
outsiders, but the opposition party
press Of the district took a different
view and denounced the excursion in
such terms as "orgie,' ':saturnalia"
and wild political revel.'' The sports
INDUCED in were in keeping with the
menu, and, with the exception Of the
cigars, the whole affair suggests a
Sunday school outing. Evidently party
feeling is very bitter or the ''lid'' is
down very tight in the province of On
tario. ~,

Closely following the death of an
American who fell from flying ma
chine while making trial trip came
the report of two successful trips in
Europe. The fact that the same prin-
ciple was the feature of each machine
may mean that the secret Of the bird
may have been found, and If properly
applied, the problem Of aerial naviga-
ton will be solved.

WARM WEATHER HELPS.
Get Rid Of Your catarrh by Using
Hyomei Now.

Everyone who has catarrh should
take advantage OF the warm weather
to get rid Of this annoying and dis.
tressing disease. The right treatment,
faithfully followed, in May or June,
will benefit much more quickly than
in the Winter and early Spring.
Do not try TO cure catarrh Of the
head and throat by taking drugs into
the stomach. 1t cannot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be cured
Is through a direct application of
Hyomet that will kill The germs OF
catarrh and prevent their growth.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement, an. in a
short time, especially II used at this
season OF the year, there will be no
further trouble from catarrh.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
The complete outfit costs but one dol
lar, and il after using you can say
that the treatment has not helped you,
E. G. Murphey will return your money.

Time Wasted
In Teaching Children a Smattering
Of Many Things In the
Public Schools.

The following extract Is from an ad
dress by George n. Maxwell. delivered
before the Wisconsin State Teachers
association. voices the sentiments OF
an overwhelming majority Of parents
Mr.. Maxwell is executive chairman OF
the National Irrigation association
and of the American League of In
dnstrial education.
ITO earn a living and be d home
maker should be the first object in
the life OF every boy who goes to- q
public school, and to this life purpose
every possible aid should be given
the boy by the public school system
The girl should be trained to be his
helpmeet.
"All else is Of secondary Importance
because our public schools should be
designed 10 meet the needs of the
great multitude Of our people whose
life work is OF necessity devoted tc
the struggle of earning a living and
establishing and maintaining a home
In which children can be reared in an
environment that will produce the
highest and best types of citizenship
mo school ever has or ever will
take the place of the training that
comes from doing the actual practical
work in the world.
"A few things thoroughly learned
should be the motto of our public
school system.
Simplify the school course for all
the earlier years up TO fourteen or
fifteen at least. After that specialize
1t to suit a chosen vocation.
1.-The most pitiful thing about our
present school system is the waste
OF hours and years In school to secure
a smattering of many things instead
OF mastering a few things.
Thousands OF girls seek places as
stenographers who can't spell, can't
punctuate, and don't know the mean
ing of common English words. And
yet they have studied algebra, geo.
metry. chemistry, anatomy. and, like
as not, a dozen other things which
will never be of any earthly use to
than. And this is only an illustration
OF many that might be given.
in all city schools in the northern
climate the winter terms should be
shortened and confined to teaching
the things that must be taught in
doors, and instead Of the long sum-
vacation there should be a sum-
course in school gardens In the
suburbs"
