CLEANLINESS IN OLD RUSSIA
Passage in Novel Would Lead One to
Infer 1t Was Not Considered
Important.

The quotation In the Companion
from a publication of 1910 urging that
every day one should take pains to
wash ones hands, and one should also
wash ones face almost as Often" re-
minds a contributor of a passage in
Tolstoy's "War and Peace The story,
which follows the fortunes of Count
Rostov, pictures the way in which the
ladies of his family prepared in 1909
for ball given "by grandee of Cath
crimes time"
at was" writes Tolstoy, "the first
great ball that Natasha had ever at
tended. She had got up at eight
o'clock that morning and had been all
day long in state of the widest ex-
citement and hustle. All her energies
from earliest morning had been eX-
pended in the effort to have herself,
Sonya and her mamma dressed to per-
lection. Sonya and the countess
trusted themselves entirely to her
hands. The countess was to wear a
dark red velvet gown; the two girls
white crepe gowns with pink silk over
skirts and roses in their corSages;
their hair was to be arranged la
grecque.
"The most important part had al
ready been done; their feet, their
hands, their arms, their necks and
their ears had been washed, perfumed
and powdered with extraordinary care.
On their feet they wore openwork
silk stockings and white slippers with
bows. Their toilets were almost I'm
ished. Sonya was already dressed and
so was the countess"
The reader infers that their feet
were included in the comprehensive
washing only on account of the open
work stockings. And he is inclined
| to ask, if the tremendous preparation
| for such a ball caused only that much
washing, how much did they wash
day by day?-Youths Companion.

This Life. and Beyond.

For what is life that we should
make such ado about it, and hug it
so closely and look to it to fill our
hearts? What is all earthly life, with
all its bad and good luck, it's riches
and it's poverty, but a vapor that
passes away-noise and smoke over
clouding the enduring light of heaven?
A man may be very happy and blest
In this life, yet he may feel that, how
ever pleasant it is, at root it is no
reality, but only shadow of realities
which are eternal and infinite in the
bosom of Coda piecemeal pattern of
the light kingdom, the city not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens

"say when you die; there is no IF

There is food for thought In this

We think of the future with the con-

frame everything around that If"
IS matter of fact, there is nothing

One popularity about many ma
tive-born Americans is unrest. A de-
sire to change, instability. A great
number Of our American young men
are quite versatile; they can make
fair showing at various forms Of
employment and before they have
gotten down to some line Of employ
ment tlat their talents are adapted
to they may have tried out half
dozen different kinds of businesses.
With this spirit of unrest they are
apt to become roamers and the fruit
of their labors is an empty pocket
book and the habit Of wanderlust
well established in their characters,
which habit is very hard to cast off,
and even though they may attempt
to settle down, that strong desire to
move on with which they have be-
come obsessed is too strongly en-
trenched in their natures, and they
can produce all kinds Of reasons
why they should move on and try
"a better their conditions. Their rea-
soning is specious and they are like
~ to find the fields elysian yet far
in the distance. Those who have
made the greatest success in life are
they who have chosen their line of
work wisely, followed their better
judgment, taken wise counsel and
made for their taismans faithful
ness, determination and stick-to-it-
iveness.
This win apply to those who have
taken up printing as emphatically as
any other business in the world. A
man may work eighteen hours a day
drilling away, working in a narrow
circle, making no improvement in his
plant or methods, and yet meet with
only mediocre success.
One Of the requisites to success is
honorable dealing. Give a little bet
kter material than expected and never
be tempted to put off defective work
on any one. 1t is one Of the glories
of life to have a conscience void of
offense in ones dealings with his
fellowmen.
These are the men who make the
world better for their having lived in
it. Stability Of character is the Sc
same to success. Try the sure meth
