A SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE.

Universal Distrust Of Strangers In the
Russian Empire.
'The usefulness Of the cars chief
Of police depends on his amount OF
suspicion and his alertness In putting
1t into active USE" says Thomas Ste
vens in book entitled Through Russia
on a Mustang" 1T is suspicion every
where.
For several weeks" says the au-
thor, 'T was thrown in daily intimate
contact with Sascha, my travelling
companion. He was a transparent
warm hearted young fellow, but from
first to last he never ceased to regard
me with suspicion.
"At one village he lost his passport

In order to get rid OF him. All day he
had nursed his suspicion, unsuspected
by me, until had unwittingly cleared

curious forms. In a general way I was

THE PLAY ITSELF WAS GOOD.
That Much, at Least, the Actor Critic
Had to Admit.


John Hare. the English actor, once
went to see one of Beerbohm Trees
infrequent performances Of Hamlet
He would willingly have avoided Tree
for some little time afterward for rea-
sons obvious to others who. like him,
had seen this least impressive Of this
actors roles.
Hare chivalrously remained In his
box to the end of the play. As the
curtain descended on each act he had
dreaded the invitation Of his fellow
player to his dressing room. where the
usual courtesies would have been ex-
pected.
Act by act slipped by without any
word from the stage, and Hare grew
proportionately relieved. AS the last
curtain fell however, and Hare retired
from the box he found a messenger at
the door with "Air. Trees compliments,
and wouldn't he come home for a bite
Of supper with some friendsT'
At table Hare parried opening after
opening, yet not once did Tree refer
directly to his Hamlet Hare on his
part dreaded every break in the con-
versation would bring the dreaded top
ic. After a decent time he drew away
from table to go home. Tree accom-
panied him to the hall to put on his
coat "Now's my hour" thought Hare
Not one word from Tree. They shook
hands on the threshold, and Hare start
ed down the steps In happy relief.
Tree followed him to his carriage
Hare heard him in dread Still the
topic was avoided. Tree, with cordial
courtesy, opened the door. Hare slip
ped into the cushions Of the carriage,
joyfully heard the door slam and drew
deep sigh.
But before the horses started Trees
head was in at the window, and he
said, with blighting suavity:
"At least, John, yOu1l admit it's a
good Dlay."

HOT BISCUIT

Ancient Posters.

1t is probably the general impression
that posters and handbills are modern
inventions, but it has been discovered
that the ancient Romans practiced this
method Of advertising. In digging at
Herculaneum there was brought TO
light pillar covered with bills, one on
top Of another. The paste used to stick
them was made of gum arabic. The
bills, when separated and examined,
were found to be programmes and an

The Source Of Life.

In paleozoic times 1t was the earth
itself, not the sun, to which plant and
animal primarily stood beholden for
existence. This gives us a most in
structiye glimpse into one planetologlc
process. To the planets own internal
heat is due the chief fostering Of the
beginnings Of life upon its surface.
Thus a planet is capable of at least
beginning to develop organisms with
out more than a modicum Of help from
the central sun. We talk of the sun
as the source Of life and so 1t is today
in the sense Of being its sustainer. but
the real source was the earth itself.
