here OF the nations philatelists-sert-
Gus men brought together by the com.
mon fascination exercised by little bits
Of co!ored paper.
Like every other hobby which in.
vo.ves collecting something, the fun is
not half so much in possession as In
the eternal quest. Whole volumes of
odd and beautiful labels, given as a
receipt for postage paid, are not an In.
teresting az the rare and Elusive speci.
mems which are yet to be corralled.
While the small boy collector has his
heaven in grandmother's garret, shear.
ng the old labels from long treasured
apistles, the full.hedged enthusiast
inds larger field for his activities.
md the farthest corner of the earth is
not too remote to stop his quest. There
Is more in the hobby than one might
suppose. History. geography and ma.
ional politics form a groundwork for
an intelligent pursuit of the pastime.

HAPPY MARRIAGE RECIPE
Noninterference Policy Would Remove
Many Causes % Discomfort
Among the Welded.

The experience OF married couple
vino have lived together for 20 years
without quarrel possesses a practical
value which outweighs any amount of
theorizing, and the reasons for the
happy union given by Mr. and Mrs,
Levi Sherwood. who enjoy this distinc-
ton, have wide interest. I'VE just
loved each other and that was all
there was to It," said Mrs. Sherwood.
But the true recipe seems to be con-
tanned in the husbands remark that
he minded his own business, while
she tended to her own affairs"
In that simple policy of noninterfer-
ence is comprised all the philosophy
not only of happy marriage, but Of
harmonious human relations In the
broader sense. If the married adhered
TO this rule, there would be little mar.
ital discord, less divorce, and fewer
cases OF domestic disagreement In the
police courts. The very latitude Of ac-
ton which this enlightened couple
gave to each other served to unite
them more closely and to avert the
conflict of interests which causes ship
wreck Theirs was union without
q dictator or boss.
Matrimony. like everything else,
may suffer from too much regulation.
Cities and states suffer from 1t no less
than rhappy wives and the small boy
who j. accounted incorrigible. A gen
eral application Of the policy Of non
interference which made this a happy
marriage might remove more serious
causes OF public discontent.-New

FINLAND.

For years past the patriots OF Fin
land have been lowering between hope
and fear OH account of the queer be-
havior Of the Russian authorities with
regard to Finland Just at present
the prospects are brighter than they
have been for long while. Great
10y was caused in all parts of Finland
by the announcement that the appro-
priations made by the last landtae
were ratified by the czar. This put
an end to the confusion which had
prevailed in the finances OF Finland fof
about a year on account OF the tenn
rorary unconstitutional arrangement.
1t Is generally assumed that change
of sentiment which Is favorable to
Finland has taken place in the lead.
ing circles in st. Petersburg. But Of
fcially an attempt Is made TO put the
blame for the misunderstanding" on
the muddle in the senate and the Of
flee of the governor general. The
budget of expenses was sent to the gov
ernor general, who kept it over week
before turning it over to the senate,
and this body also acted very slowly
in the matter. Meanwhile the car
ratified the budget as it came from the
landtag, without waiting for any re.
marks that might come from the sen.
ate and the governor general. The
senate and the governor general were
also scored by the Russian govern
ment for taking up this matter with
out being ordered to do so by the czar
This event indicates the abandonment
Of the legal proceedings which were

thorities that had refused to assist in
