SAND TABLE A BOON.
How to Prepare Simple Contrivance
That Will Prove Instructive
to the Children.

A sand table is a great educator for
children and furnishes them with un-
limited amusement. Simply make a
small low table from packing boxes,
with crossed legs, sawhorse fashion,
at each end, and two braces, one either
side of the legs at the place where they
cross, to hold them firmly in place.
There should be a little, narrow rim
nailed around the top of the table to
keep in the sand. Now provide key
of clean, dry sand and little sand
shovel, and the children will do the
rest.
With the aid of sand table chill
dren can get much clearer idea OF
geography than by oral description.
What wonderful mountains, lakes,
river coures, valleys, etc., can be made!
Or, the sand may be laid out to repre-
sent a park, using bits of evergreen
twigs for trees and shrubs. A real
good farm can be laid out, with bits
of sticks or toothpicks for fences, and
toy cattle may be turned out to Craze
in the pastures.
Children will amuse themselves for
hours with such material, gaining at
the same time a certain dexterity for
fashioning things that is certain to be
of value to them later in life.-Farm

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. l.
Russias battle for freedom is TAX
ing on a new phase. The czar has
become restless under his recent
grants of freedom to the people
and he is endeavoring TO recall his
acts and stamp more firmly the
seal of autocracy on his country.
This necessitates us to fight not
only for the retention of that small
amount of freedom we have al
ready secured.
The reactionary government is
playing game so dangerous that
it makes thinking men, no matter
what may be their political opin-
ions, shudder with horror at our
perilous proximity to national dis
aster. There is only a thin line
dividing the nation from the COM
parative calm of the present to a
peasant jacquerie that will sink the
French revolution into insignifi-
canoe.
The unrest among the Russian
peasants is appalling to behold.
The demand of the peasant that
all the agricultural land of Rus
STA be given to them without pay
ment is becoming so insistent that
only heroic measures under a con-
stitutional regime can save the
country from reign of terror.
This is the great pressing dan
ger that stares Russia in the face.
A few months ago, a majority of
the peasants were willing 10 listen
to sane advice and could easily
have been convinced of the Justice
OF paying proper price for the land
they want. Now, thanks to the
governments reactiOnary meas
ures and to its blocking of douma

have not formed a concerted move
ment, but once let the peasants
join in a great common effort to
seize land, and nothing can stop
them.
There will be appalling slaughter
and bloodshed and the whole coun-
try will be in the hands of a blind
horde, which no one Will be able to
direct into a peaceful channel until
ii has spent its force.
The present triumph of reaction
airy advice at Peterhof has forced
US, who want to guide Russia to
constitutional life along peaceful
paths, to take up line of strong
resistance TO the government. We
are convinced that only by making
ourselves fOrcibly felt can we turn
the government from its mad
course. Our strongest hope of COM
pelling the reactionaries to give us
freedom is that the government
may not be able to secure more for
eign loans.
We have definitely resolved, and
| say this in all seriousness. that
any more loans contracted by the
government abroad without the au-
thorization of the douma, will new
er be paid. 1t is certain that SOON
er or later Russia will have legisla-
tive government and the peoples
representative will repudiate every
kopek the government may secure
abroad in the future.
This warning should be needed
by wise people in foreign countries
who may be willing to loan the au-
tooracy gold to carry on its war
against us.
Our present demands are these:
