A Book of Passionate Complaint

trade fill many of the pages; but the
thing that makes us most impatient is
her attitude toward domestic service, as
shown in the following paragraph. She
could not have written anything which
would have assured her book more
enemies:
''1n my greatest extremity | would
never have considered domestic work. 1t
seemed very degrading to me-the thought
of giving up all my liberty for a good
home-if it could be called such-where
one must serve and obey every member Of
the family. When everybody is in the
dining room the servant sits alone, eating
her dinner by the lonely kitchen stove:
when they are all in the sitting room she
sits alone in the servants room. When
all are out she must stay m the house;
the days and hours for her leisure all pre-
scribed for her."
1t would be good to know where her
ideas on service we're gathered. Where do
servants obey and serve. every member Of
the family9 And why, pray, sit by the
lonely kitchen stove to eat ones dinner,
unless it be out of pity for the stovei
At any rate Miss Hasanovitz reaches
the conclusion that while in Black Russia
the people are prosecuted for free speech
and sent to Siberia, here it is the sams
thing only in different form. u spite
of which she sends home for her brotbsr
and later for a young sister!

A RAMSAY Memorial.

Mr.. Asquith has been selected as
president of a committee of University
College to arrange for a memorial to
the late Sir William Ramsey. The
memorial is to be not merely national,
but International; and this is as it
should be, for Sir William Ramsay
was an international in more than one
sense. His gifts were not only scien-
titic, but covered "a wide field of knowl-
edge. He was, for instance, master Of
several languages, although he made
light of the accomplishments When
he Went to Stockholm in 1904 to re-
ceive the Nobel prize he surprised
many Of the scholars he met by his
ability to speak any language that any
one else happened to be speaking.
"There's nothing in it," he said; "any
waiter can do it" This faculty placed
him in touch with the scientific genius
of the world, and contributed much to
his Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

Scene OF ROMANCE
Gatchina Palace Built BY Cath
crime II. for Gregory 0rIoff.
Former Grand Duke Michael and Paul
A!esandrovitch Held There After
Discovery Of Counter Revolt.

CATCHING, where the former Russian
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch
and Paul Alexandrovitch were held
following the discovery of a counter
revolutionary plot, Is described in the
war geography bulletin, issued by the
National Geographic society, as fol-
lows:
Built upon fat, marshy lands on
the shores OF two small lakes-the
White and the Black-the attractive
town Of Gatchina lies, % miles south
of Petrograd. It's resident population
numbers between $4,000 and $4,000,
but ia peace times it is a popular sum-
mer resort for Tie wealthy classes Of
the capital.
"Gatchina's only claim to industrial
distinction is 4 porcelain factory, but
Its place in the sun of history is as
sured by the magnificent imperial pal
ace with its coo rooms, surrounded by
q beautiful park, q quarter of q mile
from the Baltic railroad station Of
the town.
MANY Americans have visited this
palace, which under the old regime
was open to visitors during the alb
Il of the dowager empress, who
made it her residence.
1.-The erection of the palace, which
dates from 1910, recalls one of the
most dramatic periods in the history
Of any European royal family. 1t was
built by Catherine II. as a present to
Gregory Orloff, the young artillery Off.
Ger WHO caught the fancy of the flu
ture famous empress while she was
still merely the consort of the half
imbeclle Peter III. 1t was Gregory
Orlotf, aided by his two brothers, who.
effected the sensational coup d'etat Of
July, 1TG2, in which Peter was seized
and spirited away to the chateau Of
Ropaha, where he was eventually MUIR
dered. Thus Catherine IL. acquired
supreme power upon the throne.
The grateful and infatuated Cath
crime rewarded Orloff not only with
the palace Of G%atchina, but with the
title Of count, a commission as adju-
~tant-general. then Encouragement and
finally generai-in-chief Of the Russian
forces. He might even have sue
ceeded in marrying the great states
woman had it not been for the inter-
ference of Parin, the governor and
tutor of Paul, GATHERINGS son.
when he assembled the throne upon
the death Of his mother, Paul chose
the Gatchina palace as his favorite
summer residence and bestowed upon
the town municinal rights in 1897.
The palace is q three-storied struc-
ture with one-story wings connected
with the main building by long colon
nades. 1t contains q famous art gal
lery, a theater and three throne
rooms.
Gregory orloef Gid not bring his
days to q close in Gatchina. Upon
his return to the capital after an I'M
successful diplomatic mission he
found q new fasorite installed in the
winter palace. Subsequently he lost
his mind and died in Moscow. His
brother, Alexis, the actual slayer of
Peter Ill, became q horse breeder
near Moscow after winning honors in
the war against the Turks. He left
an immense estate valued at 100000
rubles and 10000 serfs."

DaEn SHOWS NEED
FOR FARME|R|i55 AID
Advantage OF Farmer Legislature
Brought Out In Congressional
Investigation.

When Congressman Baer Of North
Dakota first introduced in congress
his resolution providing an appropri-
alton of $4,000, 900 to buy feed and
seed for farmers who had suffered
crop failures in the past two years,
so that a big acreage of spring wheat
can be planted this season, most all
OF his colleagues merely smiled. They
thought it a joke, to ask the House
OF armer in an emergency, even
though helping the farmer would
save the country from famine.
/, Hoover Appeared at Hearing.
When the House committee on Agri-
culture gave an all-day hearing to
Gaer'S resolution, and then called up
on Herbert Hoover and Secretary
McAdoo for advice as to how to deal
| with it, the other congressman woke
J up. indeed, some of them woke up
sufficiently to come to the hearing,
and take part in the demand for &C.
ton. Rep. Evans of Montana and
Rep. Norton of North Dakota testi-
fed at considerable length, on the
necessity for immediate Government
aid fel livestock and seed wheat for
planting.
Rep. Rankin also spoke on the trou-
bles OF $4,000 homesteaders on the
new wheat lands of Eastern Monta-
ma. As these homesteaders have no
title to their land, they cannot bor-
row through the farm oar associa-
lions.
