From Fire to Frying Pan


The immnence of the revolution briefly re-
ferred to above has not received much at
tenton but Russia seems to have been tot
tering on the very verge of a tremendous ex-
plosion, which was only averted by this more
general catastrophe of a world war. The
extremity of her situation is vividly described
In an article in last months Century by an
English author, whose name though we'll
known cannot, an editorial note explains, be
used, for personal reasons. He writes (3):
Only a few days before the war / had
gone up to st. Petersburg from Finland to
get my rooms ready as / wished to see as
much as possible of the attempt at revolution
that then seemed inevitable. There were
barricades up In the streets OF the workmen's
quarters. 10000 workmen were on strike
and, this Is the point, they were not on
strike for higher wages, No concession
by the master could have brought the men
back to work. The only answer they
turned when asked why there was a strike
was that they were dissatisfied with their
lives, with the present conditions of the
working man, and that they intended to dis
organize the State until these conditions
were altered.
ST. Petersburg was in momentary fear Of
another and far more serious revolution than
that OF 1906 The police captured the peo-
pie supposed to be the leaders but II soon
appeared that there were no leaders Orders
were given for the severest possible re-
pressiVe measure, which would perhaps
have involved a large-scale battle, prob
ably a massacre certainly state of war in
the capital. The moment IL became clear in
st. Petersburg that Germany was determined
on war the represlve measures were eoun-
ternanded, two days before they were to
have taken effect, and the workmen went
quietly back to work.
There is a foroeful and appealing interpre-
tation OF the Russians from a sympathetic
viewpoint in an article, alliance With Rus
sian Barbarism'" a., by George Kennan.
Probably no American Is better qualified as
an expert on the subject He speaks and
reads Russian, has written notable books and
was war correspondent for the Outlook on
the fring line before Port Arthur. during the
Russo Japanese war He writes "a;
wish to draw sharp distinction bs-
tween the Russian Government and the Rus

Barnum's Frankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an
elephant engaged in blowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad, an agri-
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper in the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and if it were more profitable to
pillow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen.
His replies were invariably frank,
and were of this purport:
''If you have large museum in
New York, and a great railway COM
pany sends trains full of passengers
within eyeshot of the performance, it
will pay, and pay we'll; but if you
have no such institution, then horses
or oxen will prove more economical :

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesman's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chairman's Shaft
of "Wit."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here is one OF the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing meeting IN
South Wales, according to Pearson's
Weekly, when the chairman, thinking
TO be witty at the chancellor's expense,
remarked to the audience that he was
a little disappointed in Lloyd-George's
appearance.
II had heard so much about Mr.
Lloyd-George," he said, that | nat
urally expected to meet big man In
every sense; but, as you can see for
yourselves, he is very small i'll stat
ure."'
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not so Lloyd-George.
81 am grieved to find,' he said, with
mock seriousness, that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here OF
measuring man. In North Wales we
measure man from his chin up, but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made no
more personal remarks

woman who wanted a sewing machine,
and her letter commenced thus:

TRUE FRIEND OF GARDENERS
Toad Destroys Vast Amount OF Insect
Life and Should Be Afforded
Ample Protection.

The dietary of toad contains n per
cent of insects and the remainder Is
composed of spiders, crustacea and
worms. Having an amazingly active
tongue, he captures much of his food
on the wing.
There is every reason why farmers
and gardeners should encourage and
protect the toad. European gardeners
often purchase toads, considering their
vigilance in hunting insects well worth
a trifing outlay.
Toads become very tame when treat
ed with consideration, and as they
never do any harm, beyond occasion
ally excavating little cave for mid.
Gay retirement in favorite flower
bed, while destroying vast amount
of insect life. there is every reasua
why they should be welcome guests.
