REvoLUTIONIsTs ARE FIRM.
Open a Campaign of Agitation for q
Simultaneous General Strike.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-It is
evident that the proletariat organiza
tons refusal to accept the challenge
at this time upon grounds of the Gov
ernment's choosing does not mean that
II is not their intention to give battle
later. Indeed, the proletariat organ
izations, backed by all the political
parties. including the Group of Toll,
Social RevOlutionists, Socialists and the
Peasants League, have thrown them
selves into the campaign of agitation
for a simultaneous general strike to be
followed by a rising in the cities and
the country.
Although the time is not propitious
for the peasantry. as the country is in
the midst OF the harvest season, the
leaders believe month or six weeks
at most will suffice for this and con-
idently expect that their campaign will
be aided by the universal repressions
to which the Government will be COM
PEELED to resort in its policy OF open
warfare against revolution.
The Constitutional Democrats are
holding aloof, fearing to throw in their
lot with their former allies, yet they
are ready, If the masses rise and the
Government fails, to seize the usufruct
victory.
Premier Stolypin evidently is sincere
in his desire to inaugurate a policy of
"stronghanded reform" but the best
evidence that he is not master of the
situation is his vain appeal for CO.
operation to men like Count Heydon,
NJ. Shipofr and Prince Lvoff, who have
seen too many well-intentioned Min
listers broken on the wheel when they
decline to conform to the policy die
tated by the court cabal.
The lighting organizations of the
Social Revolutionists, which declared
truce while Parliament was in session,
has decided to reopen the campaign of
active terrorism. It's work will be sup
plemented by a similar lighting or
ganization" recently formed among the
Social Democrats. More than a million
copies of a manifesto to the army,
navy, peasants and workmen, which
was adopted yesterday and already
printed in Viborg and st. Petersburg,
have been started into the interior
through underground revolutionary
channels.
1t is learned that almost the deter
mining factor for the postponement Of
a rising was the information that many
fresh troops which had been introduced
into st. Petersburg and Moscow were
strangers to the revolutionary propa-
ganda, having been carefully selected
for this reason.
Professor Kovalevsly, who returned
today from London, where he has been
attending the session Of the Inter
Parliamentary Union, says:
The dissolution of Parliament was
the cause for rejoicing in extreme rev.
olutionary circles which boycotted Par
lament as the only means to block the
road to republicanism and weaken the
position of the Moderate and Consti-
tutional parties The present wide
persecution of the press will again
tend to bring forth arguments in favor
of bomb throwing as the only means
of carrying on the fight. The Govern
ment Is not likely to reconvoke Parlia-
ment OF it's own accord. Those op-
posed to the adoption of revolutionary
means and yet not in favor of reaction
will be obliged to leave the political
arena for a long time TO come"

Had the Court with Him.

The anecdote Of the late Justice
Charles II. Van Brunt in last Sundays
Sun recalls another incident illustrat-
ing his kindness Of heart and rough
ness of tongue.
A young lawyer was arguing a mo-
ton before him which was rather
beyond his powers and was being
numerically pounded and ridiculed by
his opponent, an old and experienced
practitioner. After a few minutes of
this, Judge Van Brunt himself took
UP the argument on the young lawyers
side and proceeded to give the older
man a full dose Of his own medicine.
The younger man, delighter and en-
couraged, attempted to put in word
or two Of his own as the Judge went
on. The latter almost shouted at him:
Keep still, sir. I am arguing this
motion on our side and may win. but
~ you blunder into Il the court will
be sure TO decide against US"
The lawyer kept still.

Do You Know Cows?

People who have never been in the
cattle business" said a Kansas cattle
man the other day, will never realize
how intimate a cattleman becomes
with the animals in his herd.
when 1 say that, as a boy, knew
the different voices of forty cows, and
without seeing them could tell just
which one was lowing by the sound,
Just as you recognize the voice of a
friend behind your back, few people
believe me. I know every individual
animal in a herd Of 800 cattle in my
pasture. and often neighbors put their
cattle in my pasture for the summer
sorting them out again in the fall
without difficulty.
"I visit the pasture only two or three
times during the summer, and recog-
nize my own calves as distinguished
from my neighbors' by the markings
inherited from their bovine mothers.
I have such an insight into cattle char
acter as most people have into human
character, and enjoy the society of
the herd."-Exchange

orloIn Of Term chaurfeurs.


Chaufeurs existed long before there
were automobiles.
History tells US that along about the
year 1875 there sprang up in France, prin-
cipaIly in the eastern and central regions.
fsntastically dressed men with their faces
blackened with SCOT and their eyes care
fully concealed who gained admittance to
farm houses and other isolated dwellings
at night and committed all kinds Of dep
relations and outrages-
They had an atrocious habit especially.
from which they obtained the name that
posterity has preserved for them. They
first garroted their victims and dragged
them IN front OF a great fire, where they
burned the soles OF their feet. Then they
demanded Of them where their money
and Jewels were concealed. Such inter-
rogator1es could scarcely be resisted.
II is from this that is derived the ap-
pellation Of chauffeur, which once so ter
riled old ladies, but which at present
evokes in US only cheerful and pleasing
thoughts OF automobolism and OF voyages
and excursions at twenty-five and thirty
miles an hour, in which there Is nothing
but the roads and paved streets that are
scOrched--Figaro.

The Vertical System.

The vertical system of penmanship
perpetrated upon the public schools
some years ago is a great fraud, re-
marks the Holton Signal. The style is
slow and unwieldy; takes up too much
space, and is void of beauty. 1t is
about to be discarded in ST. Louis be-
cause an investigation shows that boys
and girls who learn it in school are
unable to obtain employment in busi-
ness houses where handwriting Is a
part Of their work. Business men OBJ
ject to it principally because the writ
er cannot get up any speed. OF what
good is the vertical system of penman-
ship if pupils have to learn some other
system after they leave school? 1t is
understood that the Kansas text book
commission is considering the advis-
ability of going back to the Spencerian
system, than which there is none bet
ter for speed and beauty.-Exchange.

THE HUMAN BODY
HAS WEAKER HALF
One Side Is Generally Less Fully
Developed Than the Other.

OCNNAOVCu imam thC
The popular belief is that the left
side is weaker than the right and. as
in all popular beliefs, there is much
truth in this. In most cases the right
arm is decidedly stronger than the left
the bones are larger and the muscles
more vigorous.
When we come to consider the lower
limbs. however, we find precisely op-
posite state of affairs; the left leg is
stronger than the right in the great
majority of cases. This want of sym
metry is noticeable all through the
body. Nine times out OF ten we see
better with one eye than with the other
and hear better with the left than with
the right ear, or vice versa.
Not only so, an injury to the body

more pain on one side than it would
were II inflicted on the other. Even
diseases attack one side on their first
onset in preference to the other. Ec
zema, varicose veins, sciatica and even
tuberculosis begin invariably to mani
fest themselves on our weaker side A
blistering plaster, too, will provoke an
eruption only II applied to the right
side in certain individuals, in others
only II applied to the left side.
The simplest way apparently of dis
covering which is our weaker side is
to observe which side we lie upon by
preference in bed, as 1t is certain that
we will instinctively adopt the attitude
which is most agreeable or rather
which causes the least inconvenience; /;
In other words we will lie upon the
side the muscles of which, being more
vigorous, are less sensible to the
pressure upon them of the weight of
the body.
Statistics and observation go to
prove that in about three cases out of

popular diotum. Curiously enough,
however. pneumonia, 1t has been no.
ticed, unlike most diseases, usually at
tacks at first the right--that is to say,
the stronger side of the body.

At the Majestic.

The bill at the Majestic this week in
cludes several acts which are good and
especially the act of VIII F. Fox, one OF
the clever comedians of the vaudeville
stage, whose musical act is well worth
seeing.
Fox is an accon:) lished pianist He
ranks with many an artist on that instru-
ment. but he has CHOSEN the vaudeville
stage as his Inc and presents an act
that is queer combination of comedy
and music. The comedy prevails, mucn
to the regret of many who would like to
hear him play more. At that his comedy
is good and he springs . number of jokes
intermlxed with few that he told when
last In Birmingham.
The Lady Buccaneers" an act with
half dozen comely girls and a man who
is clever with his Bowery slang and ac-
lions. contains some music which is
catchy. The act lacked ginger" last
night and something seemed to be wrong,
but even as 1t was the audience seemed
well pleased The act will probably i'm
prove as the week advances. The girls
are good looking and comedy.

Comieal Trieksters' present an act that
is somewhat of novelty 1t includes
magic and a great deal of comedy, and
pleased the audience.
August Snowfall, who makes up as
negro singer. has a fair voice and some
new songs. George E. Beane, assisted by
Miss Edithe Forrest, In comedy sketch
entitled "a Womans Way" has a clever
act. 1t is the opening stunt of the bill
and If shifted to somewhere nearer the
end would go better to use the stage
expression for the success of an act. 1t
has some clever, legitimate comedy in 1t
and the parts are well played.
The moving picture machine with a
couple of very good pictures, closed the
bill. There will be a matinee and a per-
formanee daily for the remainder of the

"A Wifes Secret" a melodrama along
Bijou theatre last night to an appre-
eiative audience which took lively in
terest in the play An engagement OF
one week was auspiciously begun. "a
Wifes Secret is better constructed than
the average run of such plays and the
company interpreting the various roles is,
with one or two exceptions, uniformly bal
aneed. William J. Shea as a drunkard.
Walter Moye as a hypocrite, Tommy
Toner as a newsboy, Allen st. John as
a policeman, Anna Little as the rector's
sister. and Grace Hopkins as the rectors
wife, acquitted themselves satisfactorily.
Miss Hopkins undertook a difficult, emo
tional role with some appreciation of its
possibilities Wlnona Bridges was ell
trusted with the comedy element as an
old negro servant.
The play is in four acts and is staged
correctly The plot relates how an in
nocent young wife is driven out into the
cold, cold world by her husband and is
bounded by a villain who wooes her in
misfortune. A friendly policeman, typi-
cal newsboy and an old negro woman
shield her in adversely. Christmas rolls
around. as 1t does so often in melodrama,
and the clouds begin to fade away. The
misguided husband and his wife are re-
united, while horrible punishment is melted
out to those who deserve such treatment,
The atmosphere at the close is love-
laden.
"A Wife's Secret was received with I'M
usual enthusiasm last night and seems
destined to draw well this week at the
Bijou.
