For Love of the Work.

The Russia of today has no social
life, it's women have no thought of
dress and amusement. All are work
ing for their country, and an excep-
tional number of the women of edu-
cation in that country are specially
qualified to be of service to the
wounded soldiers. Speaking of her
country, the wife of Russian at
tache in London said; Perhaps the
women of Russia study medicine and
nursing more generally than Is the
case elsewhere, for in Russia the
poorer classes look more naturally to
those who are blessed with larger
share of this worlds goods for care
and protection. This feeling is now
on the decline in towns but in coun-

AGASS|z As A BOY
Seems to Have Had Normal
Share of MiSChieVouSneSS.
In His Letters and Recoliectionsr
He Has Told of His Amusing
Encounters With a Prus-
sian Governor.

An anecdote of Alexander Agassi2'
boyhood in Neuchatel, in the days
when that Swiss canton was admins
tered by the Prussian officials, shows
that the man who was to become so
famous as scholar and man or
science had his full share of a healthy
boys mischievousness. The story is
told in his Letters and Recolfec-
tions.'
The small boys OF Neuchatel were
much interested in politics They were
arrayed in two parties, the royalists
and the reds. The former were de-
voted to Prussia. and loyal subjects
of Friedrich Wilhelm; the reds were
ardent Swiss patriots, who wished
Neuchatel to have the same repub-
| lican form of government that the 9TH
er Swiss cantons enjoyed, and who
resented the authority of the governor.
an appointee of the king Of Prussia.
The governor, who liked to show his
authority in the smallest details, was
so lacking in sense of tact and of
proportion as to complain to Louis
Agassiz that his little son was not sa-
luting him with enough politeness. AL
exander was punished, and when he
met the governor on the street the
next day, he saluted him with exag-
gerated abjectness. The governor
complained of that, too, whereupon
the elder Agassiz. much incensed,
gave his son sound thrashing; for
the father was a great admirer of the
king, who, at the suggestion of Hum
boldt, had assisted him in many ways.
Not content with this victory, the gov
ernor singled out his diminutive adj
versary at school celebration, and
held him up for reproof before a large
audience
When it was Alexander's turn to re-
ceive his prizes from the governor, he
was SO angry that he refused them
with scorn, turned his back on the
representative of the king, and. to the
delight of the reds, walked out of the
room. That led to further punishment
at home.
Infatuated at the governors treat
ment, the youthful patriot collected a
band Of confederates of his own age
stormed the castle on the night of a
large dinner party at which his father
was present, and smashed all the win
dows of the State dining hall. Loui:
Agassiz, suspecting the instigator o
this outrage rushed home, but fount
his son safely in bed and apparently
asleep.
Commenting on this episode in aftel
years, Alexander Agassiz remarked
that it was perhaps fortunate he came
to the United States at an early age
for with his views he would surely
have been hung or shot before he hat

$5.ooo,ooo of Lost BAGGAGE.

"If the value of the baggage that
American tourists were forced to leave
in Europe last summer be estimated
at the low average of $50 person. the
total would amount to $5,000,000."
This is the opinion of a writer in the
Railroad Mans Magazine who made
some observations in continental Eu-
rope in the early days of the war.
Nearly every person." he says, was
obliged to leave his baggage behind
while the more unfortunate minority
had to leave tools of trade, because
the railroads were so fully occupied
with the transportation of troops and
munitions of war that they had neither
rolling stock nor time to bother with
such inconsequentlal truck as baggage
even at the high rates charged in Eu-
rope"

Bears in the War Region.

An enormous black bear was seen
slouching along midway between the
Russian and Austrian trenches in the
Carpathians the other morning. The
business of war was forgotten and the
Austrians and Russians sent volley
at the unfortunate bear, killing it.
There are large numbers of bears and
wolves in the southeastern ranges of
the mountains, and very often advance
guards have to fight for their lives
with these ferocious beasts, which,
driven by hunger and made furious by
the sound of cannonading, are ready
to attack any number of men.
