His Quick Wit Saved Him.

An ancestor of the great Tolstoy was
an officer in the Russian army and a
great mimic. One day he was imper-
sonating the Emperor Paul to group
of his friends when Paul himself en-
tered and for some moments looked on
unperceived at the antics of the young
man. Tolstoy finally turned and, be-
holding the emperor. bowed his head
and was silent.

the performance"
The young man hesitated a moment.
and then, folding his arms and initial
ing every gesture and information of his
sovereign. he said:
'Tolstoy. you deserve to be degraded,
but l remember the thoughtlessness of
youth. and you are pardoned."
The czar smiled slightly at this
speech.
"Well, be 1t So" he said.

BuzzARDs' NESTS.

The buzzard usually chooses a ledge
on cliff for an eyrie. but in certain

generally used by some bird of prey

sons, but returns to 1t the third. and
elapse before occupying it again
Two nests are often constructed in
one dingle, and an amusing incident
happened few years ago in one Of
these places. The hen laid one egg in
each nest, and. as it was quite impos-
sible for her to sit on both at once. we
did her a good turn by placing one of
these eggs in the nest with its COM
panion. The result of our kindness
was that collector passed by about
two hours afterward and put both
eggs In his collecting box.
When | thought the matter over
came to the conclusion that that old
buzzard was not half such a fool as
we took her to be. and If we had left
the eggs as we found them the bird
might have had a chance of rearing
one youngster.-Country Life.

Kansas Corn-Ceylon Rubber.

From the Review Of Reviews.
Literally at the other end Of the earth
from the business of farming in our mid
die west is the business Of growing rub
Der trees in the far east. Yet the Kansas
corn fields are linked to the rubber plan
tations Of CeyIon and Java and Sumatra
by one of those commercial chains OF
modern human association that disdafn
continents and oceans intervening. 1t
seems that nearly half OF the automobiles
mostly middle western farmers. In making
enough tires to At out these automobiles
demand has been created for rubber
that has put the price of the crude arti-
Gle up to So pound. Only two years ago
II could be bought for G5 cents. OF course
even the automobile justifying prosperity
of the Wall street broker or the Ohio
manufacturer is in the final analysis
dependent upon bounteous farm products
So the size of our coming crop will deter
mine in a large degree the activity In
launching plantations Of young rubber
trees across the globe. which so far this
year has been unprecedented. In financing
these new rubber companies the English
public, centering around the rubber mar
ket of Mincing Lane, London, has worked
itself into a speculative craze. During
the first four months of this year no less
than 500 new rubber companies were
floated from London. The face value CT
their shares ran to about $30O00,OOO. but
and obtained-some two-shilng shares
are now selling as high as so shillings-
1t appears that the English public tnclud-
ing large investors and small. have put
into this artificial rubber planting a sum
equal to perhaps half a billion dollars.

New Workers Enjoy Annual Garden
party at "Karlsheim."

Three hundred natives of the Empire

festival Of the New York State Club. held
at karlsheim. the home of William c..
Common. the clubs president. The guests
were conveyed In carriages from the car
line a mile through the oak and chestnut
groves that have made the place ia
nous to the lawns about the house
where the festival was held. From one
end of the lawn to the other there was
q profusion of Japanese lantern.
On the porch of the house an orches-
ira rendered a program of popular music
during the early part of the evening and
later furnished music for dancing in the
parlors. A special program of recita-
tons and vocal music was given from
time to time during the evening. 1t was
to have been concluded with a patriotic
address by w. +. Andrews, auditor for
the Treasury, but a late-hour word was
received that it would be impossible for
Mr.. Andrews to be present The several
numbers Of the program included recita-

Thinks Irish Home-Going Project
Deserving of Praise.

Francis j. Kilkenny, president of the
Irish Home-Going Association. has re-
ceived a letter from Maurice Francis
Egan. American minister to Copenhagen,
expressing his sympathy with the pur-
poses Of the movement. The letter from
DIR. Egan, which is regarded as of gen.
eral interest, Is as follows:
II am heartily In sympathy with the
home-goipg movement. 1t seems to me
that this happy venture of yours has an
other aspect which you have not accen-
tuated. There is great deal of misun-
derstanding as to the condition of Ireland
in our country, and this misunderstanding
is increased by the fact that the Emerald
Isle is generally seen through personal
spectacles and Impressions gained that
are neither deep nor comprehensive. 1t
seems to me that a pilgrimage like the

Of enabling intelligent persons to COM
pare notes, to examine without passion or
prejudice and to draw the ties closer be-
tween the two countries. There are many

petition. Others. who are nearer in blood
