THE death OF the Grand Duke
Sergius of Russia at the hands OF an
assassin, does not seem to strike
people generally as being such an
awful thing after all. In the first
place we have become used TO bear
ing such news from Russia and sec
ondly there is quitea general opinion
that, in away at least, he deserved
the retribution that firally overlook
him. The murdered prince stood
for everything that is conservative
and tyrannical and cruel in Russia.
More than any other person, 1t Is
said, he has prevented the weak and
vacillating Gar from giving the
people any part or lot in the govern
ment, which liberal policy can alone
it in thought, being any sort of peace
and happiness to that unhappy
country. Sergius was thoroughly
imbued with the idea of the "diviue
right" Of the Romanolr family tu
reign supreme in Russia, and was
not satisfied unless that supremacy
was administered with arroganc,
and cruelty. No wonder he wa
hated by the people and marked
for assassination 10y the revolution
lists. Under the circumstances i
is possible to imagine that hi
slayer acted from motives as pure a
those that prompted Charlotte Cor
day to kill the bloody triumvir {
the French Revolution. Whe
men like Lincoln or Mckinley al
struck down by the hand of an az
sassin the world stands aghast, bt
the case Of Sergius Of Russia is di
Cerent, and though the Russia
court has received formal notes
coincidence and regret from d
sovereigns Of Europe, they are mac
up of mere words and Convey 4
great sorrow.

THE SPY SYSTEM.



Russia is pre-eminently the land OF
spies. In Moscow In the streets agents
OF the police are stationed every 500
yards. In addition secret agents watch
the houses day and night, one being al
lottcd 10 every four houses, and In
every house Is another spy-the porter
Go where you will, you are never out Of
the watchful eye OF the police. You
brush against spies in your hotel. as In
the theaters; in a restaurant, as in the
drawing room Of friend. II Is ride
ulOusly easy To recognize those you
meet I'm the fashionable resorts. They
have evidently been instructed 10 dis
guise themselves as gentlemen, and for
one Of them the livery OF gentleman
is n frock coat, silk hat and always,
by rain or sunlight, an umbrella. The
fancy that I'm an open cab, talking
French or English TO his friend, he
would at least lie safe from surveil-
lance. But his friend will touch him
significantly and speak Of the weather.
The fat cabby on the box, somnolent,
with white hair and good paternal
eyes. may be spy more skilled In the
languages than the travelling stranger,
and if the cabman has been found
lettering near the great clubs, the ho-
tells or the embassies the chances are
strong that he is. A subtler police
than that Of the third section-the akra-
ma. which has It's ramiilcations In every
capital in Europe and America-com-
plctes this great system of espionage.
It's mesh is over every man in Russia.

Climate and POlitics.

The climate of Australia Is the ehief
factor i'm fashioning Australian poll

the sun there has forced an early de-

America, and countries count by gen

lT seems that another dreadful
accident was necessary before the
hazardous coasting on Sunset ave-,
was finally stopped by order of the
city authorities. One tragedy should
have st;fficed and that was not re-
quired, for it must be evident to
any one giving the matter even a
little thought that coasting there
meant loss Of life or limb. 1t is
an extremely dangerous place, not
only for the coasters, but for the pc
destrians or teams that travcI
there. Ii is the old story of locking

SECOND RENAISSANCE.
Another Revival of Art. II In Claim
ed, Is Needed.

ed, Is Needed.
I'm order To reform our present stereo-
typed methods OF art we want sec
ond renaissance For long years we
have done nothing but turn out from
our colleges young men stuffed with
useless scientific lumber, and they very
quickly lose It all, and there is nothing
to take its place. This Is not to he Won
dcred at when throughout Europe
there is such neglect Of art in our ed
ucatiOn. 1t may be replied to me that
the inventions of science compensate
for the deficiency, but these inventions
are almost exclusively II not quite
mere increa a. In the power OF the bod
ily senses and faculties-the telegraph
In that of the tongue, the telephone In
that of the ear, the railway in that OF
the legs. the Photographic science in
that of the cye-and these Inventions
leave in Ignorance the more intellectual
part of the individual. Your portrait
can be taken your voice boxed up-this
is eXtraordnary-bu the soul which
commands, the god which is in the
head is forgotten.
And yet the means for altering this
state of things is near at hand, Is be-
meath our eyes. We have still the same
nature that inspired those anonymous
sculptors to give us the Gothic; we still
have sufficient number OF Gothic
masterpieces intact-so many epitomes
