HOUSING IRISH TENANTRv.
The Interiors Are Cheerless and Bare and Ventilation Is Poor.

The Interiors Are Choerless and Bare and Ventilation Is Poor.
 The people live generally in one story stone or mud houses, scattered over the long mountain-sides or clus- tered in the little one-street villages peculiar to Ireland, says Hummer r. Jones in the American Monthly Review of Reviews. Around these houses one generally finds small garden patch in which are raised potatoes and other hardy vegetables. In front of the doors are small inclosures or yards, walled in with stone. where the fam. fly goat, the pigs, the geese and the chickens are wont to gather, seeking frequent entrance into the dwelling.
 The interiors of the houses are toe often comfortless and bare. It is sel. dom that more than one room Of q possible two or three has a wooden fioor The others are paved with roughly fitting fiat stones and are generally damp. There are no stoves or ranges and cooking is done over the open fire in large fireplaces. Peat Is uniformly used for fuel. The use of coal and wood is generally un. known. There are no verandas or porch0s to the Irish farm houses; the windows are small square holes cut through the thick walls and stopped with from four to eight panes of glass. Ventilation is unprovided for. Frequently q pig sty or stable for the COW is inclosed under the same roof of thatch, which is a coating of straw from six inches to a foot in thickness and fastened down by ropes.
 Dwellings such as the above are common all through the farming sec tions of Ireland. It is rather remark. able how little variation there is from the type. They are termed third class" by the government. The last census shows that there were 251 ,6O6 of such in Ireland. The dwellings called fourth class" are built entirely of mud, and are of one room. with one door and one or two very small win. dows. There are to-day in remote rural sections of Ireland 9,S73 such huts, inhabited by probably 30000 or 10000 people,
 The "second class" houses are found in such cities as Limerick, Cork, Dub lin and Belfast, as well as in Ulster section and portions of Clare, Tipper- ary, Kilkenny and other good farm ing districts of the south. They are of the general type described in the third class" when in the country, though they are larger and better kept and when in the cities are the com. fortable two and three story houses which one sees along the residential streets. Most of the second class houses are covered with slate or tile, though in the country thatch is still used. There are 500,O00 houses of the second class in Ireland.

YOUNG EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.
More Genial in Disposition Since the
 Birth of Little CzarowitZ.

More Genial in Disposition Since the
 Birth of Little Czarowitz.
 Now that once again all eyes are turned to the Russian court, this little sketch of the Empress makes interest ing reading. AS every one knows, until quite recently the young Empress of Russia was regarded in court circles as q comparative nonentlty, all the real power being vested in the person of the dowager empress, who, accord ing to an old European custom, was considered to hold the first place in the empire as mother of the future CZar. Since the birth of the little CzarowitZ, however, all this has been changed The young Empress has now assumed the reins of power and is recognized by all as holding the next place in i'm portance to the Car Blt this is not the only evolution that the advent of the little Grand Duke Alexis has ef fected in the Empress life. Since his birth she is q changed being, and her habitual reserve and taciturnity, which had formed such barrier between her and her subjects, has now given place to smiling geniality. She is always talking of her little son, and often, in the midst of an animated conversation on the topics of the day, the proud young mother with obvious irrelevancy will break in with: And you know baby" which clearly betrays that her mind is far away from the subject under discussion.
 At court the Czarina shows marked preference for talking with those distinguished matrons who have been responsible for large share in the birth rate of the empire. Forget full of all her imperial dignity, the young Empress will invite one of these ladies to slip unobserved out of the ballroom and together they will scale the staircases and invade the nursery, adjoining the Empress own apart sia, all unconscious of the onerous burden that awaits him in the future, lies in his dainty cot. The Empress will sit for hours with her son in her lads, of which she possesses an inex- haustible fund. Last autumn, when the young debutantes were to be pre- sented to the Czarina they were de- tained for two hours. Baby would not stop crying" the Empress explain ed when she at last appeared, flushed but radiant, after her efforts to silence and soothe her little son. None of the great generals and admirals are allow ed to depart for the seat of war with out having glimpse of their future Czar.
 The Czarina is very simple and transformations in her habits and dis likes anything in the way of display. She is once said to have declared that she wished she could attend all the court functions in a skirt and blouse. She is notOriously careless ill matters' of dress, failing shared by the Cars pretty sister, the Grand Duchess Olgo Alexandrovna. She used invariably to put in her appearance at the Red Cross sewing meetings, held at the Winter palace, with her skirt undone and her cravat on one side. My dear, my dear" the Empress old English governess exclaimed at one of these gatherings, when her imperial mis- tress' carelessness over the details of her toilet was more than usually ap parent.

lNHuMANITY OF JAPANESE.
Do Not See Cruelty in What Looks
 Like AtrOcity.


 The proof, to my mind, that the Jap anese as a people are inherently cruel lies in the fact that the grossest in' humanities, such as would draw pro- testing crowd in any other country, seeem to pass absolutely unobserved on the streets of Japanese cities, writes Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's Weekly. was asked the other day to deliver an address before the ladies of the Jap anese Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals in Tokyo, and at the instant 1 rather welcomed what seemed to me an opportunity to tell about a, few of the atrocities l have myself seen perpetrated during my years residence in the country, but when l outlined my intentions l was told that they would never do; that as foreigner I must say only nice, complimentary things to my audience; I must confine myself to stories of cruelties in other lands and gain my point by observing with pride that such things could never happen in an enlightened land like Japan, where the people are gentle and full of sympa- thetic understanding for the sufferings of the least of the creatures of the earth. But it takes longer than year, even in this country, to learn well the art of indirection, so l declined the prOffered honor on the plea of my in- ability to meet the requirements. 1 could not remember ever having seen in any other country anything that could be compared to the exhibitions of brutality that are so common over here.
 To begin with, the Japanese are cruel to themselves and cruel to each other, and their standard of mercy seems to be so low that they cannot recog- nize as cruelties things which impress us as atrocities.
 But if a member of a family hap Dened to be stricken with leprosy or any other loathsome or incurable dis ease, he or she was thrust mercilessly from the house and forced to go out on the highways, away from the vil- lages, to gain an uncertain living by begging from the infrequent pedes- trians. Even now it is not an un- usual thing to see a horrible, scaly, crumbling wretch double up in the dust beside the roadside, holding out with cred. trembling hand to chance passers- by who never seem to notice. l my self have seen things which turned my soul sick and made me wonder if this is a civilized nation aspiring to the highest ideals of twentieth century de- veopment.
 An equally conspicuous evidence of Japanese heartlessness is the manner in which insane people are treated. Up to very short time ago there were no institutions of any sort provided for these unfortunates, and they were con- fined in open cages like wild beasts and allowed to starve and freeze or famish from thirst and burn up in the hot summer sun, as the case might be. Such abiect cruelty cannot be believed of sane human beings but in Japan it is not by any means a thing of the past.

Let Us Laugh.

The funniest thing in recent bu-
collie journalism is the discovery by
some of the Mormon country pless in
Idaho that the enforcement of the
State Constitution in its provision
for test oath will disfranchise all
faithful adherents of the Mormon
church.
1t is not funny because the subject
is amusing, but Because the discov-
cry is heralded with such an air of
originality-such newness Why, of
course, its enforcement will disfran-
chise the Mormons: that is what the
provision was inserted for. Senator
Fred L. Dubois and other great men
of Idaho of the time of that Consti-
tuition candidly acknowledged to the
country that they had hope that
the Mormons would be fair in poll
tics, would consent to the determined
fseg regation OF church and state upon
which Idaho's population had set it's
heart; but that to insure such re-
suits 1T was necessary to have the
absolute power in the constitution
and the the people of the state of
Idaho to diSfranchise all Mormons if
they transgressed this political holt
ness. and If they attempted to de.
stroy this political foundation of
ldaho's commonwealth.
That is exactly what the provision
was inserted in the constitution for.
that is exactly what it is being used
FOR. And if the subject were not a
community tragedy, the Mormon
wandering announcement of the char
acter OF the provisions aud the pur-
pose OF its use at this late day would
DE one OF the most iocular things of
Journalism.-Salt Lake Tribune.

On the front page can be found
partial report of the Maine state
election. From indications the re.
publlcans have carried the state by
seven or eight thousand, with the
probability of Littlefields election
by few hundreds majority. Maine
has been considered a rock ribbed
republican state, and the state has
usually been carried by the republi-
cans by majority of twenty-five to
thirty thousand. In view of the
fact that Cannon, Taft, Fairbanks
and other great leaders of the repub-
lean party have been stamping the
state, 1t is surprising that the state
was not carried by the usual major
tiles. If this is any criterion, which
Is usually so considered, this is not
republican year, notwithst anding
that Roosevelt and his policies are
the issues.
