Russian Peasants Hard Life.

The whole existence of the Russian
peasant Is out of joint. He is born in
a world of earth and wood, where his
life is circumscribed Oy a log cabin
that is matched In fall, when 1t as
sumes an appearance of tidiness, but
becomes a huge harp for the March
winds to play their woeful dirges on.
The thatch is fed to the few starving
animals, and the dispensable wooden
props and decorations used to cook
dinner with long before the approach
Of spring. Here between the unplas-
tered, undecorated walls he lives with
his horse, his pig, his hens-always
provided he has any-under the same
roof, glad of their sociability and ami
NAL warmth, being much in need of
both. His home is one of the maze of
zigzaz, lopsided, weather-beaten, bro
ken-down izbas that stand huddled to-
gether, freezing in Gods solemn peace
fulness and uncanny dreaminess. En-
chantingly idyllic on a canvas, but o
dreadful place to live in.

collected a large army. He defeated
the Germans and stopped the western
advance of the Mongolians. He like
wise defeated the Russians and in
creased the territory of Lithuania o n
siderably.
Mindaugis, the next grand duke, a
capable organizer and administrator,
continued the work successfully. Ged-
eminas, a shrewd diplomat, as is shown
in his correspondence with the popes
of Rome and the Teutonic order, vas
the next grand duke of note. He es-
tablished the grand duchy of Lithu-
ania on a firm basis, ~vanquished the
Russians, Teutons, and especially the
Tartars, and so helped q W Europe
from the greatest disaster that could
have befallen it-invasion and occupa-
| ton by Mongolians. At this time Lith-
uania extended from the Baltic sea
to the Black sea. After the death of
Gedeminas, his two sons, Algirdas and
Keistutis, reigned, and waged battles
with Teutons and Slavs.
In 1869 a sort of dual Polish-Lithua.
MAN government was adopted. Even
then, Lithuania kept its independence.
In the three partitions of Poland the
major part of Lithuania was annexed
by Russia and the smaller by Germany.
Thus Lithuania was removed from the
map of the world.
The people were forbidden to use
the Lithuanian language, and the pos.
session of any Lithuanian books, ever
prayer books, was considered q polit-
zeal crime, and schools teaching Lith-
uanian were closed. The Russian gov.
eminent prohibited the use of any type
in print but the Russian. The people
as a result, struggled in books and
newspapers printed in Latin type, from
Germany. Eventually the imperial or
der was revoked and the use of Latin
type re-established. From that time
! on Lithuanian literature has f1ourished
many newspapers having been pub
lished and many books printed.
There are probably about 7.500,00C
persons Of genuine Lithuanian stock
In addition to these, the Lithuanian
state would include 100000 Poles
Jews, Russians, and Germans, making
a total of 100000 for Lithuania prop
er. If Lettland should be united witt
Lithuania it would add 100000 Let's
making a grand total population of II.
100000 for the new nation.

The upper part of the cabinet con-

Java,s suaar Produetlon.

Java is such a fruitful land that one
,hesitates to specify the principal crop,
but it is one of the great ~sugar-pro-
ducing countries Of the world. The
annual export of sugar amounts to
something like 100000 tons. People
r SO accustomed to thinking of sugar
in terms of pounds that nearly 2,0O0,-
900 tons of sugar seems to have a stu
pefying effect on the mind. There are
more than 100000 acres of land under
cultivation in sugar on the island OF
Java and the average yield per acre is
four and one-half tons, which is a yield
that is high above the average Of
sugar land.

Dimensions of the Cabinet.

This is the first of a series of
articles which will describe
household conveniences. The
difference between the tired,
over-worked h~ousekeeper and
one who has some time and en-
ergy left for reading and recre-
alton after the days work is
done, often may be accounted for
by the kind of equipment used
in the kitchen. Under the direc-
ton of the state and county
home demonstration agents of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, home conveniences
already have been installed in
several thousand country homes.
Such conveniences not only eff
feet a real saving in the work
of the home, but they help the
farm woman to get a greater
amount of happiness out of her
daily tasks. Many Of the i'm
provements that will be describ-
ed can be used as well in village
and city homes.

KITCHEN HELPER
FOR HOUSEWIVES
Cabinet Saves Walking To and
Fro Necessary in Prepara-
ton of Food.
WELL-SEASoNED WOOD BEST
Convenience Especially Suitable Where
Space Is Limited-Place Provided
for FireIess Cooker When
Not in Use.

A kitchen cabinet is just as impor-
tant to the housekeeper as the bench
to the workman or the laboratory desk
keeper can sit down comfortably with
her whole kitchen workshop easily
within her reach. 1t saves walking to
and fro to gather this thing and that
to prepare the food. And every kitch-
en- should have a stool of the right
height to enable the worker to sit at
her work at the cabinet. The home
made cabinet shown in the illustration
Is sanitary, convenient, and attractive.
1t is especially suitable and compact
for kitchens in which cabinet space is
limited.
A homemade cabinet can be built
with moderate expense if outside labor
need not be employed. If both lum-
Der and labor must be purchased, the
cost will equal that of a ready-made
cabinet. The cabinet must be made
of good wood, well seasoned. That is
the most important consideration.
Poorly seasoned wood warps and
swells and is a constant annoyance in
opening and closing doors and draw
erS.
Dimensions of the Cabinet.
The cabinet shown in the illustra-
ton is 6 feet 8 inches high to the top
of the closet, 81 inches high to the
top of the table. 1t is 81 inches deep
and 4S inches wide, The part of the
cabinet below the table contains the

SAVE A LITTLE SUGAR TO-
DAY.
Candy at Meal Time Only.

Candy is a concentrated food,
and should be eaten with moder-
alton. Though we like it, it is
not a necessity. 1t is always
best to eat candy as a part of
the meal to replace some other
food. Eating it between meals
not only mean needless use of
sugar, but often causes a loss
of appetite for other foods. APP
ply this suggestion to the chill
dren. If they are to eat candy
it should be a part of the meal.
Between meals let them have
bread and butter, a cracker, or
fruit.

and SON were of real value. In q ufy the junk hunter rushed to Park Row
to his principal with the find, receiving SIS for three envelopes from Hawaii.
The stamp dealer who bought the three old covers for SIS tried in vain to
interest his customers in them. Month after month he held them at the fixed
price of $40 each, but none made a n offer, despite their apparent rarity.
Finally came a stamp auction for the benefit of the Red Cross, and the dealer
wishing to do his Bit, contributed one of the Hawaiian covers.
To the surprise of all it brought $3.50, the buyer being a Hawaiian
specialist in Syracuse. That worthy much interested in his gem, traced the
principal of the junk hunter-for verifcaion of its origin. incidentally he
asked where there were any more. Now, knowing the value of his find, the
New Yorker promptly sen: the other two envelopes to the Syracuse la with
q price of $125 for the pair.
