IcELANoic FORM OF PEDIGREE.
Simple But Effective Manner of Keep.
Ing the Record.

The inhabitants of Iceland have kept
their pedigrees in a jealous way. Num-
bers of them can trace their descent
from the Vikings who emigrated from
Norway to Iceland in the ninth CEN
fury. Unlike many other countries,
there have never been really any no.
bles in this island, the nation having
ever been republic in spirit. Conse-
quent upon the smallness of the popu-
lation there has been considerable
amount of inbreeding, and all Iceland
ers seem to be cousins. There is an
old Icelandic adage which translated
into English reads: Cousins are worst
to cousins" The most curious circum-
stance in this connection Is that there
are scarcely any surnames, as known
on the American continent. AS a dis
tinctive mark an Icelander places his
fathers Christian name after his own
Christian name, adding to the former
'sson," which signifies "the son Of"
and this is continued from generation
to generation. An Icelandio pedigree
reads as follows; Thorstein AS
giersson, Sigurd Thorsteinsson, Einar
Sigurdsson, Baldur EinarsAon, Thor.
stein Baldursson. Hafstein Thor
steinsson, and so on

The proceeding in many respects is
an extraordinary one, because private
soldiers are given what amounts to q
court of inquiry composed'of the gen.
eral officers of the army. The av.
erage private or noncommissioned of.
ficer is tried by summary court or
general court martial at headquarters.
The Brownsville negro soldiers are to
be given hearing before tribunal
such as would be created for trying
an offense alleged to have been com.
mitted by colonel or brigadier gen.

Many readers will recall in connec-
ton with the burning OF the excursion
steamboat General Slocum." the re-
port of the remarkable heroism OF a
young Irish girl of Ia, just recovering
from an attack of scarlet fever. who
rescued nine children from the burn.
ing vessel and then tainted from ex.
haustion. She suffered nearly fatal
relapse and after her recovery she
disappeared, leaving no trace of her
whereabouts. At last, through the eff.
forts of Representative Goulden OF
New York the youthful heroine has
been found in a training school for
nurses, and the government gladly
awarded her the medal of honor for
her remarkable heroism.

SOCIALISM COSTS MONEY.

Nothing in the world, not militar-
ism or big wars or graft on the largest
scale, is so expensive for a country
as is dabbling in socialism. This is
the true devouring monster that de-
stroys so much faster than they can
create it that in few years it will
turn the richest country into a bank
rupt. Every practical experiment in
been in New Zealand and parts of Aus
tralIa, has been made at frightful
cost which the next generation must
make good. Similar experiments in
Germany have been at the cost of
annual deficits until the imperial au-
thorities announce that something
statements and at the annual budgets
of these countries if you want to get
practical, working view of social
ism. And now comes the British gov
eminent with confessed deficit of
$S0,000,000 as the price of it's recent
socialistic ventures. New taxes are
to be piled up to make this good, and
socialism is to go forward at any
cost. VIII not the rich pay for it?
The nations that reason in this way
are crazy. A nation differs from an
individual only in being so much big
ger. 1t has the virtues and vices OF
it's citizens, and it has no resources
whatever except such as they by
their industry may create and turn
over to it. Now any sensible man.
even of the lowest intelligence, has
found out how much easier it is ia
spend than to save. He knows that
If he once loosens the reins that he
has put upon himself, he will dissi
pate in a fortnight what 1t took him
years to lay by. And that, too, is true
of the nation. The various socialis-
tic schemes look beautiful on paper
but every one of them costs a lot OF
money. Old age pensions, If you are
a sentimentalist and have never train
ed yourself to think for yourself, are
appealing. but they are frightfully
expensive and they grow more SO
every year. For these Injuries,
money must be found. The accumula.
lions of the rich can be taxed, but
these will not last forever. And with

Governor Fort of New Jersey, who
was elected year ago on plat
form declaring for all sorts of re-
forms from direct primaries to equal
taxation, has passed the first year of
his official term in endeavoring to
steer the ship of state through an
impossible middle course between
standpattism and progress, without
hitting the projecting rocks on either
side. He is so exhausted by one
year of this strenuous life that he
said in a recent speech that he wished
his term of office were at an end. In
stead of fighting these problems out
on open ground, the governor mas
tried to keep pace by compromising
and the result has not been bril-
liant success.

Austria has determined to build
four Dreadnaughts and to spend $40,
100000 on naval armament. 1t looks
very much as though these were an
indirect addition to Germany's
strength. Spain has also decided to
rebuild her navy at cost of $4,000,
900. These vessels will in reality
count as reinforcement of Great
Britain's navy, as they will be built
by English contractors and Great Brit
ain retains an option on them until
completed. Italy is to have four new
Dreadnaughts and number of fast
cruisers at cost of $52,S00,000. II
certainly looks as though the worlds

ers in all contributory lines, would be

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.
stupid and Poor, Good Fellow Who
Merely Exists.

The Russian peasant does not live;
he merely exists, "Nitchevo" CIT is
nothing'O, he merely says when any
thing happens to him. Nothing mat
tiers, nothing could be worse, and
'Nitchevo" is his panacea for all evils
And yet the Russian moujik Is really q
fine fellow. Ordinarily. IL. L. Kennard
tells us In his book, 1.-THE Russian
Peasant" he is a splendid, well built
man. large limbed, large headed and
healthy. He is equally unaffected by
20 degrees of frost or twenty glasses OF
vodka. He is clothed I'm incurred sheep
skins and carries In winter more
clothes than the average Englishman
could stand up In.
He Is unspeakably stupid, however,
and h.n dream Of happiness is to gorge,
to sleep rs much as possible through
the wister and dance and sing In the
summer. But the strangers first OBJ
lection to the moujik Is that he smells
not because he does not wash him
self. AS matter of fact. in every vii
lage there are public baths-baaza-
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday in
order TO be allowed to go to church on
Sunday, for tbs orthodox church en-.

The Russian Tsssant is always poor
and generally III debt. He plows the
land In the same way that his father
plowed 1t and gets as little for his la.
Dor. His main worry in life is how to
pay the governors taxes. If he says
he cannot pay he is logged, or perhaps
he will sell part of his next years

On Christmas night at dusk the mar
riageable village girls go out into the
streets and meet their young men, and
one says, "What is your name?" The
young man answers "Foma," and she
replies, MY husbands name is Foma."
Some days later at the girls home
relations are gathered together. There
comes knock at the door. The sta.
rosta and the young man enter, carry
ing loaves of bread. The starosta
says something like this:
1--WE are German people, come from
Turkey. We are hunters, good fell
lows. There was time once In our
| country when we saw strange foot
prints in the snow, and my friend the
prince here saw them, and we thought
they might be fox's or martens foot
prints or 1t might be those Of beauti-
full girl. We hunters, we good fell
lows, are determined not to rest till
we have found the animal. We have
been in all cities from Germany to
Turkey and have sought for this fox,
this marten or this princess, and at last
we have seen the same strange foot
prints in the snow again, here by your
court. And we have come In. Come,
let us take her, the beautiful princess.

the British house of commons was
closed because of the disorder and dis
turbance created by the suffragettes
during sessions of the house. 1t has

Many public men are very pessimis-
tic concerning the actual results of
the numerous peace movements of
recent years, but one, at least, great
good has resulted from the Hague
conferences. They have established
an international court including rep
resentatives from forty-one nations
who are pledged, solemnly, to submit
disputes which may arise between
them to that court of arbitration. 1t
is believed that in the comparatively
near future the jurisdiction of the
Hague court will embrace every
known cause of war. The belief is
expressed by some that one more
