The concert of the powers in China

calculated to draw the cheers OF the

as a blind to ourselves. as cover for
ministerial inaction, as sounding board
to tell our foes of our plans. and as a
lever wherewith they are enabled TO
checkmate our policy.

card that night. Her husband was away,
so she had nobody to consult. She de-
termined to feign suicide and then leave
the town, telling him all, and asking him
to live elsewhere. For the club, like
most secret societies in Russia. is very

So she laid her plans with care. telling
the members that she had discovered
mysterious poison which, sprinkled on
rose and inhaled. produced death. She
knew enough medical jargon to convince
them. and her maid found her seemingly
dead next morning as she went into her
room.
AS a matter of fact, she had only taken
a strong narcotic. but the maid, in a
panic, wired the husband that his wife
was dead. His despair was so great that

of Life holds much the same view, and
makes point of getting young people in
terested in sports and all kinds of out
door games. The government thinking
that the great number of boy suicides is
due to their having too much amuse-
ment, has had the cafes, dancing halls
and night haunts of big cities carefully
watched by the police, who turn away
young people still at school. At one time
they entered these places unmoleSted
School courses have now been altered and
include more exercise in the open air
than they did. But the complaint that
the Russian schoolboy kills himself be-
cause he is worked too hard rather falls
through. as the vacations are long, and
there are many saint days and gala days
unknown to other countries.
The truth is that people in Russia go
into despair over things which would not
trouble an Anglo-Saxon much. The writ
err had his attention called last week to
a waiter who had borrowed 100 rubles
about 500, and could not repay it be-
cause his employer had gone off with the
money The man who had loaned the
sum was hard up. The waiter, instead
of telling his wife, a well-to-do milliner,
threw himself under a train, and was
crushed to death. He knew at least
three people who would have helped MIN
out of his difficulty. had he told them'
but he preferred suicide. SchoolboEs ana
girls shoot themselves when they nave
had marks or fail to pass school exam
ination.
Sometimes Russian suicides are ordered
by the family, a regiment, or other lnsti-
tuition. The case Of young capt Serelus
