MANGLED THE PROOFS.
Tolstoy Must Have Made His Printers
Life a Burden.

When Anna karenina" began TO
come out III the monthly Russki West
mix, writes Count llya Tolstoy ia his
"Reminiscences of Tolstoy," long gal
ley proofs were posted TO my father
and he looked them through and cor
rected them.
At first he would mark the margins
with the ordinary typographical signs,
letters omitted, marks Of punctuation
and SO on; then he would change in
dividual words, and then whole SEN
tences. That would be followed by
erasures and additions until the proof
sheets became mass of patches that
was perfectly black in places. 1t was
impossible to send them back as they
stood, because no one except my mother
could make head or tail of the tangle
of signs, transpositions and erasures.
My mother would sit up all night copy
ing the whole thing out afresh.
In the morning the pages lay on her
table, neatly piled together, and cover
ed with her fine, clear handwriting.
Everything would be ready so that
when Lyovotchka came down he could
send the proof sheets off by post. My
father would carry them to his study
to have "one last look" and by even
ing the sheets were all written over
and messed up once more.
"Sonya my dear, | am very sorry, but
I've spoilt all your work again; |
promise / won't do it any more" he
would say, showing her the passages
he had linked over, with q guilty air.
We'll send them off tomorrow with
out fail" But that tomorrow was
often put off for weeks, or even for
months.
"There's just one bit l want to look
through again" my father would say,
but he would get carried away and re-
write Ii all afresh. There were even
occasions when, after he had posted
the proofs. luy father corrected them
by telegraph the next day.
Several times, in consequence Of
these corrections, the printing Of the
novel In the Russki Yyestnik was inter
rupted, and sometimes it did not come
out for months together.

What are the common wages of la
Dor depends everywhere upon the con-
tract made between two parties whose
interests are by no means the same.
The workmen desire to get as much,
the masters to give as little, as possi-
bic. The former are disposed to COM
bine In order to raise, the latter in or
der to lower the wages of labor.
1t is not, however, difficult to foresee
which Of these two parties must upon
al ordinary occasions have the advan-
tage in the dispute and force the other
into compliance with their terms.
The masters, being fewer in numbers,
can combine more easily. We have
no acts of parliament against combin-
Ing to lower the price Of work. In all
trade disputes the masters can hold
out much longer. A landlord, q farm
er, master manufacturer or mer-
chant, though they did not employ a
single workman, could generally live a
year or two upon the stocks which they
have already acquired. Many workmen
could not subSiSt a week, few could
subsist a month and scarce any year
without employment. In the long run
the workman may be as necessary to
his master az his master is to him, but
the necessity is not so immediate.
We rarely hear. 1t has been said, Of
the combination of the masters, though
frequently of those of workmen. But
whoever imagines upon this account
that masters rarely combine is as ig
norant of the world as the subject
Masters are always and everywhere In
sort of tacit but constant and uni
form combination not to raise the
wages of labor above their actual rate.
We, indeed, hear of this combination,
because 1t is the usual and, one may
say, the natural state of things which
nobody ever hears of. Masters, too,
sometimes enter into particular com
binations to sink the wages OF labor
even below their rate. These are al
ways concluded with the utmost 81
lence and secrecy till the moment Of
execution, and when the workmen
yield, as they sometimes do, though
severely felt by them, they are never
heard of by other people Such com
binations, however. are frequently re
sisted by a contrary defensive com
bination of the workmen, who some
times, too. without any provocation OF
this kind, combine of their own ac-
cord to raise the price of their labor.
They are desperate and act with the
folly and extravaganza Of desperate
men who must either starve or fright
en- their masters into an immediate
compliance with their demands. The
masters upon these occasions are just
as clamorous upon the other side and
never cease to call aloud for the as
sistance of the local magistrate and
the rigorous execution of those laws
which have been enacted with SO much
severity against servants, laborers and
Journeymen.

FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE.
His Task Seems a Hopeless One, Yet
He Sticks to the Job.

ne OtlCkS TO the JOps
Every little while you hear somebody
say: 1T isn't the expense / mind. It's
the principle of the thing"
United States treasury officials have
persons who feel just that way. Here
is one case:
Some years ago the crew of a gov
ernment revenue cutter gave an enter
tainment Of some sort, and, according
to custom, assessed the cost of the
affair among those aboard Each mans
share was taken from his pay. One
young man was not in sympathy with
some feature of the entertainment and
objected to having to pay his share. 1t
cost him only 30 cents, but it was the
principle of the thing.
He began to write to the assistant
secretary Of the treasury, who had
charge of the revenue cutter service,
and demand justice.
That was years ago and the man has
averaged about two letters week ever
since. He numbers his letters, and the
last one was numbered seven hundred
and something.
Two or three years ago he resigned
from the revenue cutter service and is
now living in New York, but he is still
after his 80 cents and the establish
ment Of great principle.
When Charles Dewey Hilles was an
assistant secretary of the treasury he
sent the man his personal check for 80
cents in the hope that it would end the
long correspondence, but it did not
The man promptly sent back the check
saying that he did not want the money
but justice, snd that the 80 cents must
come from the government itself.
And so the correspondence goes on
with no sign of ever letting up.-Cin-

BL0ODl-Ess BATTLES.
One Campaign Where British Army
Did Not Lose a Man.

The battle of Futtehpore, one of four
fights In eight days, In the midst of a
forced march of 1876 miles to the relief
British force is concerned absolutely
bloodiess, and Havelock's classical COR
der of the day" puts the fact on record.
In one of the battles against Akbar
Khan In Afghanistan the result was
almost equally surprising. 1t was the
punitive expedition of 1912 after the
massacre at Kabul and the horrible re-
treat from which only DR.. Brydon es-
capped. This battle made up some
what for the frightful disaster, for the
victory could not have been more com
plete.
The Afghans were driven headlong
into the river. and camp, baggage, ar
tllery, horses, standards and arms of
every kind were captured, together
with abundant ammunition and provi-
sions, while Akbar fed. Yet the Brit
ish only had ten killed.
Probably the only bloodless cam
paign ever undertaken by the British
w as thC hDy ooillltlll SAIGullIOn 05dllSt
King Theodore led by Lord Napier of
Magdala. 1t was this bloodless war
which gave him his title.
Although the British army consisted
of 10000 men and although they were
met by the enemy, who put up brave
fight, and although they stormed Mag
dala, situated on cliffs SO steep that it
was said a cat could not climb them,
yet not life was lost on the British
side.
If the last Ashanti expedition against
King Prempeh could be dignified by
the name OF campaign then it must
be added to the list of bloodless wars.
Certainly it cost the life of Prince
Henry OF Batttnberg, the husband of
Queen Victoria's youngest daughter
and the father of the queen Of Spain,
but of other casualties there were none.

For example, in a sale OF oriental
goods were some handsome old bird
cages, wonderful creations In tortoise
shell, black lacquer, ivory and jade
There were seven cages in all, and so
spirited was the bidding that they
brought prices ranging from $410 te
500.
The thing that did 1t was not any
thing said or done by the auctioneer
but the fact that in anticipation of the
sale there had been put in each cage a
pair of singing and tyittering birds ex
actly suited in color to the cages in
which they were placed. Cages and
birds made a symphony of color. With
out the birds in them the cages would

Fletcher was put out of the game in the tenth for objecting to a decision at second base made by D npire Afor- gan. There was no end of senseIess kicking by other Giants They de- served to lose the game by throwing away chances to score in the eighth by very foolish base running by F'let- cher and Snodgrass. With none out and Fletcher on third. he tried to score on ball that was at the first basenanss feet, and he was sm other ed by mile Snodgrass, right after that poor play, endeavored to get to third after stealing second with the ball in the shortstop,s hand.
 Catcher Johnson also pulled a, bone when, with two on bases, one local being on third, and with two out, he threw to second to head off a man stealing, and, as he merely tossed the ball. it sailed over F1etcherss head, and the score was tied.
 Erickson retired in the second inn ing. when the forefInger of his pitch ing hand was badly split by a liner from Brownlow's bat The Giants made runs in the first and second Innings Fletcher scored Tn the first on a double and a. triple by Snodgrass Johnson got the second and last Giant run of the game on his single, follow ed by Erickson with another, and a wild throw by Schwind.
