TEAcHtTS ARE MARTYRS

St. Petersburg, February 4-(corre- spondence of the Associated Press.)-An- other review of the present political sit- uation in Russia is contributed to the Associated Press by a prominent Russian writer, Alexander Stolypin, who has made a special study of questions of local self government and has himself taken con spicuous part in the work of the zemstyo. MT. Stolypin was formerly editor of Prince Ouktomsky's paper, the Petersburg Vie domosti, and is now political editor of the Novoe vremya MT. stolypin attaches the greatest importance to ''the part play ed by the zemstvo in the political devel- opment of Russia under which heading he writes as follows

Such for instance was the recent decision of the Moscow Douma, demanding political rights for the whole country and declaring that in the absence of such rights the interests of such large municipal center as Moscow must suffer, But even if the political impor- tance of Russian cities should at any time develop, we shall witness only it's beginning; while the significance of the provincial institutions or zemstvos as factors of great political importance, Is proven by forty years of struggle for predominance which the state has never been willing to grant. As matter of fact, the establishment of the zemstvo on January Q3th) 1864, brought the germ of conflict in the vagueness of the or ganic legislation, which, fearing unreal izable expectations and liberal tendencies among the various classes limited the zemstvo to-an agricultural sphere of ac- tivity but, al the time, yielding to the spirit of the time, allowed the zemstvo almost unlimited Independence in this sphere.

How the vesta1 Virgins Were Hon
ored by the Romans.
The principal wind deities were
Boreas, the north wind; Zephyrus, the
west; Auster, the south, and Eurus, the
east wind. The first was remembered
chiefly on account of love scrape.
He fell in love with nymph, but
could not speak softly and found him
self unable to sigh at all. Knowing
that it was impossible to make love
without soft speeches and sighs, he
was about to give up lovemaking as
bad job and go back to his regular
business Of blowing, but took advice
Of an expert, who recommended him
to carry off the girl. He did so. She
soon got used to. bis blowing, and they
lived happily ever afterward.
Vesta was the goddess Of life and Of
home Her altar stood on every
hearthstone; her fire burned on the
floor of every public building. Emf
grants when leaving their country al
ways carried with them fire from the
public hearth. The Vestal virgins
spent thirty years in service--ten In
learning their duties, ten in practicfng
them, ten in teaching novices. After
this term had expired they might, If
they chose, leave the service Of their
divine mistress or marry, but few did
so. Honors were showered upon them.
They rode In chariots, privilege in
Rome accorded only to royalty. The
best seats in the amphitheater were
reserved for them. They pardoned or
condemned the gladiators. If a crimi-
nal led to execution met Vestal he

The Laundryman.

There is one branch Of trade which
runs on in an even tenor regardless Of
prices and crashes. That Is the laundry
business. People who patronize laun-
dries never economize on their linen.
A man will average about 80 many
shirts, collars and cuffs a week when
he is cutting down on his drinks and
cigars and his theater tickets. And
this observation recalls the fact that
the laundryman never has any innovar
ton in his business. He will ruin about
so many shirts and collars and cuffs
every sthree months and never say 4
word about it or make any deduction

CORPULENCE AND SANITY.
The Gospel of Fat as Applied to the
Mentally Afflicted.

The Gospel of Fat as Applied to the
Mentally Afflicted.
Are the majority of folk Of weak in
tellect? Is insanity on the increase?
Are we all preparing ourselves for lu-
natic asylums? These startling ques-
tions have occurred to me after read
ing an article In a medical journal on
the gospel of fat as applied to the
treatment Of mental disease" It seems
that the more you fatten up the men
tally afflicted the saner they become,
but Of course the difficulty lies In pro-
viding the lunatic with adipose tissue,
as there is nothing like brain disease to
cause too, too solid flesh to melt.
The aim Of most Of us nowadays Is to
keep down !. what our Transatlantic
friends, with their genius for using the
ugliest word for everything, uncom-
promisingly call "fesh." We bathe. we
massage, we diet, we fly to these and
those waters, we try all manner Of
cures and put ourselves into various
kinds of straps and pastes and take
violent exercise with the aim Of fining
ourselves down and keeping stoutness
at bay.
Does this decided disposition ON the
part of men and women to avoid cor
pulence and the successful thinning
down. that we notice on all sides por-
tend increase Of lunacy? If SO, dieting
and the taking Of waters and massage
ought to be forbidden by act Of parlia-
ment. By the way, Hamlet was tat
and scant of breath, but he was GER
tainly far from sane.-London World.

Some Wonderful Figures.

Figures on the light and heat Of the
sun are, the most startling that can
possibly be presented. The astrono-
mers measure the amount Of heat and
light emitted by the sun by estimat-
ing that the earth intercepts about the
two billion three hundred millionth
part of it, Thus it is found that In
every second Of time the sun emits as
much heat as would result from the
sudden combustion Of 11,600, ,OOO, ,OO0,-
600 tons Of pure coal. It may be inter
esting to the reader to know that each
portion Of the SUMS surface as large
as. this earth emits as much heat per
second as would result from the COM
bustion Of 1,0oO,OOOOoO tons Of the best
anthracite fuel.
