Mr.. Salaman, a guest at the Black

when a stranger nearby, reading a pa
per, introduced himself as G. Harcourt
Of Sydney, saying he had just sold his
sheep ranch for 100000. More talk
followed and the two men went to the
bar, where Harcourt paid for the
drinks with q 500 bill. He said he
also was a guest at the hotel and con-
ided that he expected to meet his son
Rutherford and his daughter Minnie
there the next day.

ICE AS A swEETMEAT.

We Americans eat more ice cream and similar
frozen desserts than the people Of any other ma
ton, but the Japanese have us beaten as eaters
Of Ice. According to the Tokyo Advertiser, one
of their fayorite dishes is small cakes Of Ice
broken into tiny pebbly pieces and eaten with
sugar and lemon, or any other mixture that they
may fancy. The commonest way Of eating ice in
Japan, however, is to shave it into snowy flakes
and to swallow 1t with sweetened water into
which various appetizers, such as fruit juice oil
sweetmeats, have been thrown.
Ice cream, milk and eggs shaken with Ice and
other kinds of cooling beverages are sold in ar
everincreasing quantity, but the old style Of eat
ing raw" Ice. in what the Japanese call thu
korimizu fashion. is still in the greatest vogue

PAPER FAMINE in OLD TIMES.

There was a paper famine in Europe In the
seventh century. In A.. D. $40 the Saracens con.
ouered Egypt, and at the same time. py oroer y
oroor their caliph, the renowned library at Alex
ondria. consisting of 100000 volumes. was burned.
The paper supply Of the then world was derived
from the papyrus bark, a reed which grew only
IN Ecypt. Consequently, when the Saracens
ca,ned possession Of the country the paper supply
yas emf off. This led to the adoption of a curious
ovnedient. The writing on used papyrus paper
,yas 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-
FMS. Liyy and others, were lost to the world.

the friendly demeanor Of the dowager empress
Naturally this illadvised 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 Russias most powerful
md necessary ally forbode to say one word In
favor of q reasonable treatment of Finland, and
when the English press by its undiscriminating
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 it is said that more than 3,VVO rlnhs
took I'D 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-German 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, it seems pretty clear that
+here we're several German agencies In more than
one mart of Finland trying to stir the people up
to TN armed revolt.
Since our reactionary press at one uMe rook
r;pon itself to repeat the venerable and dlscredlteu
cIfrhes about Finland's desire for independence
or FOR union with Sweden, it is we'll to say once
more that Finland's great nationalist movement
was all directed against Swedish influence, anu
that there are not five wiseacres In the whole
country who would dream of the possibility Oh
such a union. Nor has the fercest advocate OF
Finnish freedom ever contemplated absolute In
dependence. The position Of the country and It's
very small population wholly forbid it.
Surely this tiny nation has a magnificent future
II NAV 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 o.
a race barrier. On the contrary, they seem, once
known, c~uriously appealing and sympathetic, thu
brave, ugly little people, with their high cheek
bones, great foreheads and deepset eyes.
Their literature, like their landscape, Is ex
traordinarily varied and beautiful and there rum
through it a sense of the timeless forests and tn
unbounded North. It haunts you no one who ha
felt the charm of Finland is really content till b
sees the Land Of Thousand Lakes again.

TATTooINe 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 edlct to be tattooed from
waist to knees; and 1t was customary for the
girls to have their tongues ~tattooed with charm.

The election of the Russian duma and the tenn
porary restoration Of Finland's constitution. Yet
restored" is hardly the word, for that restricted,
cautious and eminently bourgeois constitution OF
1868 was resurrected into something democratic
and terrible-a popular government, based upon
full adult suffrage and proportional representation
with an elected house, containing at its first as
semblage in April, 1907, 80 social democrats out
Of a total of 200. And these were genuine, uncom-
promising Marxist social democrats, the outcome
of q party which was first formed in 1899. Since
then the social democratic representation Of Fin
land has 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 hummedw 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 oneninth of the population
and still decreasing.
We all remember how, in May, 1910, 120 mem
bers of the British parliament signed a memorial
to the duma expressing the apprehension with
which they regarded the proposal to deprive Fin
land of her constitutional rights, while a 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.

practice The ~landtdag was still ssemble at in
tervals, though 1t 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 internationally
censored. However, this second series Of "bad
years" was much harder for the Firms than the
period Of 1899-1906.
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
sorship 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 matches"
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
n good impression. But shortly after her return
the Films were specially and officially warned not
to build any false hopes Of restored liberty" upon
