dwellings are also favored. and In
many cases there is evidence that there

sion 70 the municipal dwellings. The
tenements are operated at a financial
loss. and the burden in the end rests
upon the taxpayer. In some cases
methods of bookkeeping are used that
conceal deficits; in other cases. as at
Liverpool and Manchester. losses are
evils attendant upon government
ownership. such as cumhrous methods,
changes IN policy. high land rent and
inadequate returns arc given as cause
for the losses.

Among bank clerks, average age

Chopin at Warsaw

The Church OF the Holy Ghost in
Warsaw contains a monument to Cho-
pin and moro interesting than any mere
monument. the musicians much and
often broken heart Chopin was born
in 1909 at a village near Warsaw and
lived In the city till he was 81. Count
esses and other delicately nurtured
women watched over his budding
greatness and the name Of Warsaw oc-
ours frequently in the dedications af-
fixed to his works; 1t is probable that
many people associated Warsaw chief
~ with polonaises and preludes and
nocturnes until the war gave the name
Its present momentous Significance. The
misfortunes OF Warsaw contributed a
good deal to the despair which marks
many OF the productions OF Chopins
genius.
1t was in 1880 that Chopin. who had
been taught in the Lyceum and the
Conservatorium. gave three concerts by
way of farewell to Warsaw. 1t Is a
fact not without its interest at this
moment that the vogue of Chopins mu-
sic began In Germany, and that Vienna
was almost the first city In which away
from his own Warsaw he won marked
recognition. The monument to Chopin
would be the thing in Warsaw before
which the average traveller would
most surely pause. though there is an
other monument bearing familiar
name, that OF Copernicus, the astrono-
mer who was also native OF Poland.
Many Of the pictures and other art
treasures Of Warsaw have been lost in
the citys troubled pnst.-Manchester

Break O. Dny in Russia

wv AR in Russia has done something more
w than destroy. The peasantry there has
never been noted for caring what was happen
ing outside of its immediate surroundings.
The struggle for the last year has opened eyes
and understandings. An Associated Press
correspondent writes that on the arrival OF
trains at every station groups Of peasants
crowd the platforms and hold out their hands
and plead for newspapers. They care moth
ing about the date Of the issue
1t is the break o day in the wide wastes
of that far country when its lower classes
evince this desire to know what Is going on
in the world. Russia may never see another
like the present one, but If 1t ever does,
the army will be more efficient, and the gov
eminent will have the newspapers to thank
for it. The present general manager Of the
Associated Press paved the way for what is
now demanded by Russas people when he
personally interceded with the Gear to let
the world know what Russia was doing in
the Russo-Japanese War.
