WHAT 1T WAS ALL ABOUT.

William E. Curtis of the Chicago
Record Herald who has a sort of
rowing commission from his paper, is
at present in st. Petersburg and is
sending to his journal a series of in
teresting letters on conditions in Rus
sia. One of his recent contributions
dealt with the causes leading to the
o-Japanese war, and showed the
great financial stake in that struggle
which the royal family of Russia had.
The personal stake of the czar, his
mother, his cousins, his uncles and
his aunts in the war made it very de-
sirable that no international tribunal
should ever be entrusted with the
hearing and investigation of the
causes of the dispute between Rus
sia and Japan in the far east. 1t
would surely have been revealed that
primarily nothing touching or en-
dangering Russia's honor was involv-
ed in Japan's demands. Satisfaction
Of those demands, or a compromise
of tnem, would have meant the loss
Of considerable part OF the personal
fortune Of the czar and his near rela-
tives. In the effort to save that the
czar deliberately chose war which
ended in ignominious defeat for thc
Russian arms, added vastly to thu
debt under which the empire wal

dy the whole crowd of Romanoffs.

ANTIQUITY OF sTONEHENGE.

Astronomy, that science of illimit-
able marvels, seems, even in its most
familiar phases, far remote from
mans everyday life. Yet the English
astronomer. Sir Norman Lockyer, has
recently esta blished a fundamental
date in human history by a simple
and fascinating application of this
branch of science. Stonehenge's Won
derful rock architecture. he has de-
termined, was built as a sort of prim-
tive sacred observatory. Therein the
priests of the sun worshiped. publish
ing to their wild congregations the
changes of the seasons. More than
mere priests and builders were they
for their edifices were so designed
that on the longest day of the year
the midsummer sun flashed the first
ray of its rising direct upon the cen
tral altar.

Curtis tells It, is briefly as follows:
a Russian company was organized
to exploit the resources of Manchurla
and Korea. The czar had previously
awaiting those who would develop
the great natural resources lying un-
touched in those regions. The COM
pany was capitalized at $4,000, 900.
The czar subscribing for sS,00O,000 of
the stock. his mother for $4,000 600
and the numerous grand dukes and
others of the royal blood for large
amounts so that much more than
half the stock was held by the i'm
porial family. No concession to cut
timber on the Manchurian side of
the Yalu could be secured from Chi
ma, as it had always been the policy
of that country to allow the inhabit-
ants to take free anywhere from the
forests such wood as they required
for their own needs.
In spite of the opposition of the
Chinese officials and protests of the
Pekin government, the Russians built
sawmills and made other preparations
for numbering on a large scale. on
the Korean side of the Yalu conces-
sion held by Russian was bought
for small sum, in spite of the fact
that it had expired and had been can
| celed by the Korean government.
Preparations similar to those in Man
churia were made then for cutting
| down the forests of Korea. Towns
were built and every modern facility
for getting out and marketing the
timber were installed on both sides
of the Yalu. Elsewhere in Korea and
Manchuria preparations for mining
on a grand scale were inaugurated by
the company.
In the meantime Japanese had Sc
cured a contract for erecting a new
| pdldCe TOT lne hOTedn emperor, anu
numbering parties We're sent to the
Yalu to cut timber. After killing sew
eral of the Japanese, the Russians
succeeded in driving the rest away.
This action brought to light the high
handed outrage Russia had commit,
ted against two countries helpless to
resist her brutal force. Thencefor-
ward she had to deal with Japan.
What the outcome was is too recent
history to need repetition.
1t would seem from this that the
Russo-Japanese war was fought not
because anything really vital to the
Russian people was at stake. but to
save the money the czar and his fam
lily had invested in the exploitation of
stolen property. 1t is a flattering
view of the czar, the dowager czarina
and the whole herd of grand dukes.

SOME NEW ZEALAND FACTS.

Florence Finch Kelly, a special
correspondent of Golfers Weekly,
writes from New Zealand as follows:
The New Zealanders did not enter
upon this unique policy with a ready
made theory. Doubtless that is why
it has been so successful. They have
worked it out slowly and carefully,
with one experiment after another.
and they seem to have stumbled upon
it in the first place by accident
The two longest standing features
are the public trust office and state
life insurance. These have both been
In successful operation about 95 years
and We're instituted nearly a score of
years before New Zealand started out
upon her radical departure of at
tempting to control the distribution
of wealth. But they have both been
important factors in achieving that
result. State life insurance had its
origin in the failure Of some British
companies in which New Zealanders
were insured, and was established be-
cause only the state. in that early day,
could furnish the necessary capital,
and because there was a general con-
Viction that to make the business sta

In the night there is no place mute,
No leaf without fiddle or flute:
Like trumpet and cymbal crash
Is the rhythmic katydid-clash.
l grieve as the low fog grieves--
Hear its drip of tears on the leaves
But out OF the sorrowful mist
The brave tree-people insist:
"Be alive, alive, and rejoice'
Attend to the night, her voice;
The mis- tbs not tears, and hark!
The laugh of the wide, safe dark"
Thus, under the creeping mist
The wise tree-people insist;

EFFECT OF HIGH LICENSE.

Since saloon licenses have been in
creased in Ohio from $3.50 to $1,000.
over $3.50 saloons have quit business.
There are still, however, nearly 1O'-
900 saloons in the state, but 1t IL ex-
pected that when the second $500 Is
due many more will be forced to
close. The decrease so far has been
about 20 per cent. The revenue un-
der the first six months Of the new
law is much greater than was expect
ed. 1t will reach nearly $5,00O,OO0
as against about s2.190,000 in the
same period under the old law. Three
tenths of this goes to the state general
fund and the rest Is divided between
the county poor farm and the munic-
ipal police and the general revenue
fund. Under the first six months the
gain in state revenue on the $1,000
tax will be about $4,000, or over
120 per cent.-Nashville American.

the beam that illumined the solemn

\ BALLAD OF VEGETABLES.

A potato went out on a mash
And sought an onion bed;
That's pie for me-" observed the
squash,
And ell the beets turned red.
Go way" the onion, weeping cried;
your love l cannot be;
The pumpkin is your lawful bride
You cantaloupe with me-"
But upward stll the tuber came,
And lay down at her feet;
you cauliflower by any name
And it will smell as wheat;
And l, too. am an early rose:
So lon't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me-"
81 DO not carrot all to wed,
So co. sir, If you please"
The modest onion meekly said,
And lettuce, pray, have peas.
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden l have been
Fer favors in your rye"
"Ah. spare cuss," the tuber prayed;
MY cherryished bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me-"
And as the willy tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise,
And. giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.
