The correspondent of the Berliner
Tageblatt writes to that journal that
Count Tolstoi thinks that the safety
of Russia through all her connections
will ultimately be secured by the I'M
shaken loyalty of the peasantry. The
correspondent says:
Count Tolstoi exhibits surpris-
ing optimism with regard to the pres
ent condition of Russia. He is per-
suaded that the position Of things has
nothing dangerous in it, for he Is
persuaded that the work;ngmen of
the big cities are of little account in
comparison with the peasants, who
form an immense majority of the Rus
sian population.
THE peasantry are not thinking OF
a revolution, and the count declares
that newspaper stories of revolts in
the country districts are exaggerated.
He says that no one but small group
of revolutionary agitators desires to
overturn the order of things at pres
ent existing.
Nevertheless, Tolstoi declines to
make amy predictions, and says that
it is impossible to say what may hap
pen. In any case, it will be necessary
to overturn the present Government,
which is founded on policy of force,
and to supplant it by another regime,
based on the love of others, goodness
and the maxims of Christianity

THRIFT AND WEALTH.

French housekeeping may be de-
scribed, says the author of "Home
Life in France" rs the gloritication Of
simplicity, supreme economy Of
time, outlay and worry. In France the
furnishing and fitting up of house
Is done for once and for ALL English
and American households spend more
upon their homes In twelvemonth
than French families of the same
standing spend for that purpose dur
ing the whole of their welded lives.
Thrift is always and everywhere the
first consideration. Fuel is econo-
mized in France to an extent to which
even poor families in this country are
not accustomed. When French
woman pays visits or goes abroad
shopping, she let's her fire go out, and
relights it on her return. Many wo.
men fairly well-off make wooden
shawl and foot-warmer do duty for
fire, perhaps, when it is freezing in
doors.
Money in France is on no account
whatever to be lightly parted with;
absolute necessity Is the only excuse
for outlay.
/ But there Is n shining side to this
frugality. French men and women do
not affect sumptuous style for the sake
of outsiders, and their unpretentious-
ness imparts a dignity mere wealth
cannot bestow The following Incl
dent is Illustrative of French stand
