the friendly demeanor Of the dowager empress.
Naturally this ill-advised policy has had very
bad results. At the beginning Of the war many
Firms were in favor OF the allies, chiefly by reason
of their English trade connections and English
Sympathies. But when Russia's most powerful
md necessary ally forbode to say one word in
'avor Of a reasonable treatment OF Finland, and
when the English press by its
praise Of all things Russian actually gave more
strength to the powers OF reaction, then the Firms
cannot be blamed for looking elsewhere.
Their exiles focked to Germany In great num-
bers, and 1t is said that more than 1900 Firms
took up their residence there. The Germans are
further credited with making active propaganda
for their cause among the professors and students
of Finland, but it seems doubtful whether they
would really have found It worth while, when the
allies themselves were unconSciously doing SO
much to spread pro-Gernan sympathies there. II
but no one can say more than if-Finland was
occasionally used as a channel for communi-
cation between Germany and the traitorous party
In Russia the allies have only themselves to blame.
However this may be, 1t seems pretty clear that
there were several German agencies I'm more than
one part of Finland trying to stir the people up
to an armed revolt.
Since our reactionary press at one time took
upon itself to repeat the venerable and discredited
cliches about Finland's desire for independence
or for union with Sweden, 1t Is well to say once
more that Finland's great nationalist movement
was oil directed against Swedish influence, and
that there are not five wiseacres in the whole
country who would dream Of the possibility OF
such n union. Nor has the fercest advocate OF
Finnish freedom ever contemplated absolute in
dependence. The position OF the country and its
very sinai; population wholly forbid 1t.
Surely this tiny nation has a magnificent future
1t may even be possible for them, highly trained
and politically qualified as they are, TO hurry
through the intervening stages of their economic
development and show to Europe the working
model Of a cooperative commonwealth. They are
in the main Mongolians, patient. passive, secret
and unfathomable, and their kinsmen in Japan
and China have done equally marvellous things.
Yet alien from us as they are racially, their de-
velopment Is so western that no Englishman who
has spent much time in Finland has any sense Of
a race barrier. On the contrary, they seem, once
known, curiously appealing and sympathetic, this
brave, ugly little people, with their high cheek
bones, great foreheads and deep-set eyes.
Their literature. like their landscape, is ex-
traordinarily varied and beautiful and there runs
through 1t n sense Of the timeless forests and the
unbounded North. 1t haunts you no one who has
felt the charm of Finland is really content till he
sees the Land Of Thousand Lakes again.

ICE AS A

We Americans eat more ice cream and similar
frozen desserts than the people Of any other M.
ton. but the japanese have us beaten as eaters
OF Ice. According to the Tokyo Advertiser, one
OF their favorite dishes is small cakes Of ice
broken into tiny pebbly pieces and eaten with
sugar ana lemon, or any other mixture that they
may fancy. The commonest way Of enting ice in
Japan. however, is TO shave 1t into snowy flakes
and to swallow it with sweetened water into
which various appetizers. such as fruit Juice or
sweetmeats, have been thrown.
Ice cream, milk and eggs shaken with Ice and
other kinds OF cooling beverages are sold in an
everIncreasing quantity, but the old style of eat.

korimizu fashion. is still in the greatest vogue

PAPER FAMINE IN OLD TIMES.

There was n paper famine in Europe in the
seventh century. In A. D. $40 the Saracens con-
uuered Egypt, and at the same time, by order OF
Omar, their caliph, the renowned library at Alex
andria, consisting Of 400, 900 volumes, was burned.
The paper supply of the then world was derived
from the papyrus bark, a reed which grew only
in Egypt. Consequently, when the Saracens
gained possession Of the country the paper supply
was cut off. This led to the adoption Of q curious
expedient. The writing on used papyrus paper
was erased and the paper. which was thus made
available, again brought into use. An old author
has suggested that probably owing to this many
valuable contributions from classic writer's, Taci-
tins. Livy and others, were lost to the world.

Inc election of the Russian duma and the tenn
porary restoration Of F1nland's constitution. Yet
restored" is hardly the word, for that restricted,
cautious and eminently bourgeois constitution Ct
loo3 was resurrected into something democratic
and terriblc-a popular government, based upon
luH ADULT suffrage and proportional representation
with IN elected house, containing at Its first AS
se1nDlage In April, 1907, 80 social democrats out
Oh Il total or 200. And these were genuine, uncom-
promising Marxist social democrats, the outcome
or n party which was first formed in 1899. Since
then the social democratic representation of Fin
ianu mas steadily increased at every election.
From the spring Of 1907 to that of 1909 Finland
experienced two crowded years Of glorious life"
In which the country simply hummed with internal
progress and political development. The old feuds
OF Svekoman and Fennoman were taken up with
renewed vigor, although the Swedish speaking
Films were now only one-ninth Of the population
and still decreasing.
We all remember how, In May, 1910, 12O mem
bers Of the British parliament signed a memorial
to the duma expressing the apprehension with
winch they regarded the proposal to deprive Fin
land Of her constitutional rights, while q large
number OF German, French, Italian, Belgian and
Dutch deputies formed and addressed similar
memorials. But all this was in vain, and by July.
1910, the bill for the classification of Finland be
came law.
1T was not Immediately and violently put into
practice. The landtdag was still m at in
tervals, though it had rather less power than a
municipal council. A number Of official dimissals
took place, Russians were given full Finnish
rights in Finland and the usual series of arrests,
imprisonments and exilings followed, but until
1912 the Finnish press was only intermittently
censored. However, this second series, Of bad
years was much harder for the Firms than the
period Of 1S99-19O6.
Soon after the war began Finland was practical
ly cut of from the civilized world. classification
set In with full force and the most stringent CEN
eorship Of the press, Of correspondence and of all
written matter whatever was established. Even
the internal business Of the country suffered great
ly, and the whole people were put under hatches,"
as It were, and assuredly on very short rations for
an unlimited time.
One piece Of news only came through In the
early days Of the war, to the effect that the dow
ager empress Of Russia had returned from Den
mark by way OF Finland and had shown much
courtesy and common sense on her passage. It
was said that she had caused her personal guard
to be greatly relaxed, that she had talked with
Firms everywhere and had taken pains to create
a good impression. But shortly after her return
the Firms were specially and officially warned mot
to build any false hopes Of restored liberty upon

FAMOUS BRITISH REGIMENT.

royal household brigade. 1t Is one Of the Oldest
regiments Of the British service, dating from
1870. In that year General Monk. who, after the
death of Cromwell. took sides with the parlia'

Must CIOthe to
Keep Body Warm

New York.-The zero hour may have
ended for the army, but it sends a
shiver Of memory, and prospect
through us. Heatless houses, icy
streets and thin clothes served to re-
duce u vitality so seriously last win
perts to rise up and say that the dew
astarion Of influenza was due to these
causes.
We were frozen by nature, fed on
substitutes, made miserable by lack OF
artificial heat, and our nervous resist
ance, which was called into intense
activity to withstand these three
plaques, has permitted us TO fall easy
victims TO the fourth and the worst
plague that leaped upon us from the
ocean last autumn.
The war is over, but the cold APP
proaches. The soldiers need not fear
the zero hour, but the American wom-
en- must fear it, warns Il prominent
fashion correspondent. 1t may be that
we will get up cold and go to bed cold.

of half-hearted fires, and have our be-
ing in one small room, with q total dis
regard of the pleasanter amenities OF
life that civilization has led us to be-
lieve are permanent.
This is not pessimism. 1t is a retro
spect of actualitles. None Of us es-
capped suffering last year. The rich
and the poor went down alike under
the presence Of intense cold and lack
Of coal, just as clean and dirty, veal

the presence Of danger last year. The
multimillionaire lived In one room and
tried to heat it with whatever sticks
and stones she could buy or borrow, In
he's same cOmfortless way as her sister
Of the submerged tenth.
Warmth Is the Fashion.
Let us say that it is the fashion to
wear warm clothes, and the individual
will follow the fashion as the customs
Of a country follow its flag. We move
In herds, and all the civilization in the
world has not been able to eradicate
this primordial instinct. So when you
go out to buy your winter outfit, say
to yourself that warmth is the fashion;
that protection to the body by proper
apparel is smart; that peltry, velours,
quilted Innings, high shoes, big neck
pieces, muffs for the hands, and even
foot warmers for the feet, are the very
height Of style.
To dress In transparent clothes is to
show ones self behind the times. To
wear negligible costumery that half
covers the body at three o'clock, dur
ing a blizzard, is to show ones self
unobservant Of the rules OF the game.
And not only must we wear warm
clothes on the street, but they may be
necessary for the house. In fact, it is
very probable that they will be. There
is small doubt about it under the new
fuel request, which is that every
shall have a thermometer, and that
not a single thermometer in America

TATTooING ANCIENT CUSTOM.

The antiquity Of tattOoing is evidenced by its
almost universal employment among primitive
peoples. In New Guinea the young women are
tattoOed all over their bodies, their faces being
similarly treated after marriage.
In the Solomon islands a girl Is not eligible for
marriage unless she has been tattooed. The girls
of Borneo are thus adorned from waist to knees
IN most elaborate fashion; likewise their hands.
feet and ankles.
In Burmah, under the last king. every male
was required by royal edict to be tattooed from
waist to knees; and 1t was customary for the
girls to have their tongues tattooed with charms
to attract the men.

shall go above 60 degrees. Now, you're
not used to 50 degrees in the house.
Many Of III are used to 80, and the
majority Of us will shiver for the first
few weeks under the new regulation.
We may take as our only comfort that
fact that this temperature is supposed
to be healthful but, mind you, it is
only healthy when the body Is warm.
No medical expert, however great, will
try to convince you otherwise.
Therefore, the clothes that are to
be chosen for the house, as well as
those for the street, must be protec-
tive. And because of this new ruling,
which comes through the federal reg
ulations, there Is an entire output Of
new types Of house gowns that we
