ToLSToY A MAN OF WONDER
Marvellous Contradictions ia the Make
up of Russis's Great Thinker
and Writer.

ToIstoy's biography illustrates bet
ter than any other the distracting con
trasts of the typical Russian noble
man and intellectual. He saw from
the inside every soldiers camp and
in the courts of royalty. In the draw
ing rooms of fashion and in the
haunts of Bohemia He lived the saw
age life in the Caucasus. and the
patriarchal life at Yasnaya Polyana
A man OF uncomfortable passions, he
committed every sin that it was fash
ionable for a man of his caste to com
nit. He gambled away his ancestral
home. he joined the revels of his fell
low officers and wasted his substance
in the company of gypsy girls. Yet
from an early age he aspired to sane

peace. A literary lion in the circles
Of Moscow, he became the exponent
of the simple life An aristocrat to
his finger tips, he preached the Cos
pei of democracy. A big land owner,
he ended by being an advocate of the
ideas of Henry George. A Christian
ascetic and a woman hater. yet his
wife bore him sixteen children.-Lon,

THOUGHT ONLY OF ARTHUR
Telegraph Clerk Amounted to Nothing
When Sweet Innocence Was
Sending Message.

She sailed into the telegraph Office
and raped on the counter. The clerk
remembered that she had been there
about ten minutes before as he came
forward to meet her. He wondered
what she wanted this time.
oh she said, let me have that
telegram wrote just now: | forgot
something very important. l wanted
to underscore perfectly lovely in
acknowledging the receipt of that

tra2"a
NO. ma'am," said the clerk as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy
lines beneath the words and said:
It's awfully good of you to let me
do that. 1t will please Arthur ever
so much"
Don't mention it" said the clerk.
II you would like it / will put a few
drops of violet extract on the tele-
cram at the same rates"
"0h, thank you, sir You don't
know how much would appreciate
IT, I'm going to send all my tele-
grams through this Office. You are
so obliging."
And the smile she gave him would
have done any one good with the pos
sible exception of Arthur.

Eat Honey.

Feed that child honey; it is the
best thing to stop its cold" said a
matronly woman to a young woman,
whose little girl was coughing violent
ly. Honey is the extracted sweet Of
lowers obtained by bees during the
busy summer for their own subste
nance during the winter. 1t is, to a
certain extent, natural food for man
kind. since wild honey tree is con
sidered a great find among all ma
lions. If more people would eat
honey. there would be fewer colds
There is something about it that
seems strengthening to the lungs. One
must use care in eating honey, how
ever. for sometimes bees sip from
poisonous although fragrant beautiful
dowers, and the honey has been
known to cause illness. Indeed. there
are some people who cannot eat hon
without in results. But for those
Who can. it is grateful appetizing

Facts About Deafness.

According to a French statlstician,
males are more subject to aural di-
seases than females, and out Of every
seven middle-aged persons there are
two who do not hear so well with one
ear as with the other. In every thou
sand children under fifteen years OF
age, 4 per cent. show symptoms of ear
disease, and per cent. a marked def
cheney in hearing power. The liability
10 disease increases from birth to the
age of forty, and then begins gradu-
ally to decrease as old age advances.
Out of the total number of cases sub
jected to surgical treatment in France
in one year it is estimated that about
81 per cent. we're cured and 80 per
cent. permanently improved.

lAaRlNG NOTE IN PROGRESS
With Advancement in Medical Science
Has Come the Passing Of the
Family Physician.

Specialization. which is a sign Of the
times. threatens some old customs.
Among the most significant changes
Of today is the lessening Geld OF the
family doctor. To him. as immortal
ized by Balzac, were confided the Sc
crets. hopes and woes OF many a
household.
Modern medicine with it's many
branches. its specialties and subspe.
cialties. has perceptibly reduced the
scope Of operation Of this old standby.
Each ailment now suggests its own
specialist. One might almost divide
life into the seven ages OF medical
treatment" from the obstetrician at
birth. the pediatrist of early infancy,
the orthopedic surgeon to correct the
natural deformities of childhood, the
oculist to prescribe the glasses Of adol
escence. the surgeon for the trauma-
Tins Of manhood. the metabolist for
the digestive troubles OF middle life,
the aurlst for the deafness of old
age.
And though the change brings with
it a higher degree of efficiency. there
is much to regret in the loss of con.
tinuity OF the friendship and counsel
Of the family doctor. His interest in
the patient was personal. lie knew

FOR AND AGAINST THE BEARD
Controversy Is an Old One and Has
Seen wased With Considerable
Bitterness.

We need not go back SO far as the
eighteenth century to find Englishmen
who held that shaving was "agen God
an nature" In the nineteenth, James
Ward. r. A. in 8 Defense Of the
Beard" set forth eighteen reasons for
retaining it. mainly ScripturaL re-en-
forced by artistic considerations.
What would a Jupiter be without a
beard?" As late as 1860 Thelogos pub
lished a treatise entitled "Shaving-A
Breach OF the Sabbath and a Hin
drance to the Spread OF the Gospel
One OF his points was that "Provi-
dence had manifestly designed the
beard as a protection for the throat
and chest" But what about the wo-
mans throat?
Nowhere was there more prejudice
centuries ago against boards than al
the inns of court. The black books
OF the inns tell us how offenders were
fined for wearing boards. and some
times were compulsorily shaved by or
der OF court. And the prejudice against
the bearded barrister still fingers.

AN AMAZING RECORD.

Daily reports of railroad accidents
resulting in the loss of life and in
juries fail to convey to the mind of
the reader the comprehension of their
number and the cost that is found in
the annual report of the interstate
commerce commission. This report
collects the statistics of the year and
presents them in a summary which
shocks and amazes.
OF the daily press reports one reads
perhaps only the headlines, but the
figures OF the annual report hold the
attention with a morbid fascination.
More than 10000 human beings killed,
it reads. and more than 10000 in
jured! The reader can scarcely be-
lieve his eyes. Well may member
of the commission have remarked
that the ravages of war pale into
insignificance before these silent indi-
cations OF the destruction of human
life accompanying the peaceful oper-
alton of our railroads"
To give emphasis TO these tragedies
of peaceful pursuits the statistics
show that in the past twenty-five
years more than 100000 lives have
been lost and more than 1000. 600 per
sons injured in railroad accidents. The
number of victims can be made 90 ap-
pear small only by comparing il with
the number of persons employed in
railroad service, the number OF pas
sengers carried and the number who
expose themselves TO death and in
jury at the railroad crossings. But
that neither alleviates nor excuses
the defects of operating systems nor
the element of human carelessness.
Railroad officials cannot escape a
large share of the responsibility for
the fearful price paid for neglecting
the principle of safety first. but they
should not be charged with all. Care
lessness of employees and of people
who venture upon railroad tracks
without taking due precautions must
bear their share. In most instances
the human element carries the blame
Railway employees repeatedly ex-
pose themselves TO risks which have
resulted in death or injury and the
public does not learn by experience
that a railroad crossing is a death
trap. The tendency TO take chances
dominates prudence and the cost is
paid in blood and suffering.
