world is sweeter in youth than old age.
Don't write social letters on a type
writer. Only business letters should be
machine made"
Don't laugh NOR talk loudly in public
places, nor in any way attract undue

self on the notice of others.
Don't risk meeting with accident to
prove yourself brave. Many persons
are seriously hurt through foolhardi-

beauty, change and goodness.
Don't linger in the hall or at the

rise to depart and you should "stand
not upon the order of going, but go at
once"

ill-feeliAg and enmity.
Too many men spend their money
before they get hold of it.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 5.-The
prospects of general upheaval of the
city and country with the advent of
spring increase daily. Evidence accum-
ulates that the radical forces are act
ing in unison and awaiting a signal
which, it is generally believed, will be
given shortly after the Russian Easter,
The terrorists are showing great ac-
tivity and reports from all over the
country prove that the workmen, who
in many cases have been formulating
petty demands which are no sooner
granted than they are succeeded by
others, are acting under instructions
from the revolutionary leaders and that
these are only biding their time.
What is now called the constitutional
press adds fuel to the flames by enter
ing on a campaign for exposing the
corruption and venality in various
branches of the administration. The
military authorities control transpor-
tation on the Siberian railroad, the
general staff is issuing permits for
every car and merchants desiring to
ship goods to Irkutsk or further east
are compelled to buy such certificates.
A regular traffic in them has been ex-
posed, permits bringing from $500 to
