The Art of Idline.

Cultivate the art of ldlng. There is
no doubt that 10 be able TO idle at will
is most valuable gift and one WHICH
is becoming rarer every day The art
of loaflng is not properly understood
by the majority of people. Much has
been written on the subject Steven
son dealt with it in an essay; Mr..
Kenneth Grahame touched on it in
Pagan Papers" and Mr. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book
There is a subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr.. Ora
hame advocated absolute idleness-
Mr.. Pain pointed out. with more truth,
that the great art of loaing was to do
tie easiest thing and that sometimes ii
is easier 10 work than TO be idle This
is the secret of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks it his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace IS disturbed. The really scien
tifc idler is the man who can idle al
will.-London Chronicle.

Charged Against Russian Military
Authorities in the Case
Anna Smirnoff.

ST. Petersburg. Aug. 1.-THE young
woman who, after being arrested for
making ii sarcastic remark upon tho
bearing of the Chevalier guards while
they were marching along the Nevsky
Prospect Aug. a. was subjected TO
gross indignities in the presence of
officers of the regiment is Anna Smir-
noff. The report is that she was
whipped. being given twel,ty-seven
lashes that reduced her clothing 10
ribbons and cut into her flesh.
1t was thought in the United States
at first that possibly the Mile Smirnor
referred to was Mile. Nelka Smirnoff,
a relative of Representative James W.
Wadsworth and Speaker Wadsworth.
of the New York assembly. and promi-
nelly socially in Washington and 9TH
er United States cities. Mile. Nelka
Smirnoff left for Russia last Sep
tember which gave rise to the fears
that it was she who suffered at the
hands of the Chevalier guards.

Our CONSULATES IN THE EAST.
Serious Charges Against COnsul.Gencral
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Against GOodnOw.

Serious Charges Against COnsuI.G eneral
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Against Goodnow.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The President
to-day transmitted to the House in response
to the resolution introduced by Represen-
tative Williams OF Mississippi the conf
dental report of II. H. D. PIERCE, Third
Assistant Secretary OF State, on the investi-
CATION OF American consulates in the East.
Accompanying the message is a letter
from Secretary Root in which he calls special
attention to the disclosures at Canton and
Shanghai, the former post held by Robert
M. MoWade and the latter by John Good
low. Neither is now in the service. There
are indications, he says, OF other cases Of
misconduct or ineficiency among Consuls
in various parts of the world.
IAN these cases show the necessity says
the Secretary, "of a regular inspection SER
vice to keep the department advised whether
the Consuls ara doing well or Ill in their
different stations
Mr.. Peirce in his report makes seven
direct charges against former Consul
General. McWade, as follows: Gross
drunkenness; the employment of a felon;
the issuance of fraudulent Chinese certif-
Gates: extending the protection of the con-
sulate to Cinnamon on the ground hat they
were American citizens; persecution OF an
American citizen for purposes Of revenge,
and corruption In office.
Each OF these charges Is supported by
lengthy specifications in which Mr.. PIERCE
goes into details respecting the conduct OF
Mr.. McWade.
There are eighty-two charges of various
degrees OF misconduct against former Con-
sui-General John Goodnow at Shanghai, but
the major portion of these are of a minor
character. Mr.. PCirce dwells at length
upon the charges Of corruption in Office,
particularly in regard to irregularities in
connection with fees received and his
handling of matters affecting the pro.
batting Of two wills. He is also charged
with the issuance Of fraudulent passports.
In regard to Consul-Cienera q, F. Will
! ans, at Singapore, Mr.. PIERCE says TINT his
! record in his two former posts. Havre and
Manila, is not unblemishe1. His personal
| observation convinced him that Mr.. Will
Jams is not a useful man to the Govern
ment in his present capacity,
Mr.. PIERCE commends the Consul at
Fuchau, put says he is past the age for
vigorous work and Is closely AFFILIATED
with missionary interests"
Consul Harris, at Ma ga saki, is commended,
but of Consul- Genera Bellows, at Yoke
hama, Mr.. Peirce says that while he is dill
gent and energetic he did not strike me as
| being a man Of such qualities and ca libre
as will Ut him for representing our large
commercial interests in Yokohama

Spurs


There never was a horse that, or
man who, wore shoes who did not
occasionally require a gentle touch
of the spur. 1t depends on the
way the spur is applied as to how
willing the response will be.
Good horsemen will appreciate
that.
The man who has never had
an attack of the ooh, I will do it
tomorrow fever is rare. lin this
condition a gentle spur should
not be resented.
How about squirting the public
a little with some good advertising
reminding them of your goods?
Our business is advertising.
We should like an opportunity of
showing you what we are doing
for our clients.

House Committee Proposes Either tho
Name Constitution or Republic.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs is considering the
advisability of suggesting in its appro-
p~riation bill a name for the new 10, 400 ton
battleship which the measure will authorize
The present law requires that the Depart
ment shall name the battleships OF the
navy after the States Of the Union, unless
Congress shall direct otherwise. AS the
new ship Is to be after the Dreadnought
type Of the English navy, and it is proposed
to make her the biggest and best ahoat.
the committee proposes to suggest either
the name Constitution or the Republic.
1t develops that the COMMITTEES. in propos-
ing the building Of one battleship of the
Dreadnought type followed none Of the
direct recommendations made by the Navy
Department. The General Board urged
the building of three battleships of the
~Dreadnought type, the Board OF Con-
struction recommended three OF the Michi-
gan and South Carolina type, 10000 tons.
and Secretary Bonaparte two of the latter
type. As an alternative proposition he
suggested one battleship OF the Dread
nought type, and this suggestion the COM
mittee followed.
