Decides Course of Action.

St Petersburg, May 30.-As fore
shadCWed in the statement made by
Minister of Agriculture Stichinsky the
government has decided on it's course
of action with reference to the vote of
lack of confidence of the lower house
and its demand for the resignation of
the ministry. 1t will swallow parlia-
ment's affront and treat it's resolution
simply as a declaration beyond it's
competency, and consequently, as not
binding the monarch. In other words
the government has decided to ignore
the demand of the lower house, and
the ministry will not resign, but neith-
er will parliament be dissolved More
over, instead of treating the action
of the lower house as cause for Offense
the ministry will continue it's concilia-
tory attitude in the hope that the
storm will subside, and unless parlia-
ment takes some revolutionary action
the original plan of prolonging the
session until it is time for the sum-
mer vacation at the end of June, will
be carried out In the meantime the
government will offer it's own projects
for the solution Of the agrarian ques-
ton, ETC., and if they are rejected the
lower house will be allowed to elabor-
ate its own projects. No amnesty
will be granted, but the political pris-
oners will be released as rapidly as
possible.
The spirit of the lower house was
much calmer Tuesday.

tutional democrats, presented an inter

PROPERTIES OF GLYCERlN.

DecOmpOses if Heated Intensely and
CrystaIIizes if Frozen.
One of the great advantages of glyc.
erin in it's chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at a temperature less
than 200 degrees F., but If heated in
tensely it decomposes with smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with a pale flame,
similar to that from alcohol If heated
to about 300 degrees and then ignited.
It's nonevaporative qualities make the
compound of much use as a vehicle for
holding pigments and colors, as in
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature it
crystallizes with the appearance of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it is almost an impossi-
biIity to get them again into the con-
gealed state If little water be add
ed to the glycerin no crystallization
will take place, though under a sufi-
cient degree of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state of f1uidity. If suddenly subject
ed to intense cold pure glycerin will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. AL
together it is quite a peculiar sub

SELF CONTROL.
1t Is One of the Projections of the
Gentleman.

AZ rs One OF Ine Per1ectIOnS or the
Gentleman.
A gentleman is gentle, slow to sur
mise evil, >slOw to take 0ffense and
slower still to give it. A gentleman
subdues his feelings and controls his
speech. 1t is sometimes said of a man
that 'he can be a gentleman if he
wants to be-" but man who can be
a gentleman when he wants never
wants to be anything else, says the
Pittsburg Press.
In the cultivation of courtesy self
respect must play a prominent part
We must never pass for more than the
value we place upon ourselves. To re-
spect others we must first respect our
selves. Whittier said, II felt that I
was in the world to do something, and

One of the perfections of the gallant
man lies in-the supremacy of self con-
troll Herbert Spencer, speaking Of this
important attitude of man as a moral
to be spurred hither and thither by
each desire that in turn comes upper
most, but to be self contained, self
balanced, governed by the joint de-
cision of the feelings in council as
sembled, before which every action
shall have been fully debated and
calmly determined-that it is which
education, moral education at least,
strives to produce"
