A BLAZEa and riot Of gold! Far
N spreading tables agleam with
L u the yellow Of golden plates.
Of epergnes that are miracles Of
the goldsmith's art, and gorgeous
many-branched candelabra; a prodi-
gal confusion Of golden tankards,
vases, and goblets; crimson
draped walls blazing, every square
yard Of them, with shields and
plaques Of gold, until the eyes
ache with the splendor and flame
Of II all.
Such is Q scene which might
have come straight from the won
derful land Of the ARABIAN
Nights" Such II the scene Of a
state banquet at Buckingham Pal
ace. or at King Georges castle at
Windsor.
II you are favored, you may be
permitted q glimpse Of two royal
pantries, each no larger than an
ordinary drawing room; and . yeo-
man Of the Kings plate viii tell
you that the contents Of these two
rooms alone are valued at $780,
900. And by no nfeans all his
majesty's treasure Of gold il to be
seen there.
For the purpose Of . single
banquet, four tons and moro Of this
gold plate are to bs transported In
vans bearing the royal arms from
Windsor to Buckingham Palace;
and tons more are left behind.
In these treasure vans are
epergnes Of gold which weigh sew
eral hundredweights. There are
dishes, two or three of which are as
much as any man would care to
carry far; and half q dozen Of the
dinner plates even are one mans
sufficient load. AZ for the candle
labra, you win see three strong
armed men strainine their muscles
to deposit one Of them In the van.
There Is one dinner service alone
for the making OF which over
$1,000 900 was paid century ago.
The gold Of which It was fash
ioned--generations Of derelict court
plate melted d6wn-was valued at
$4,000. 900.
Here we have O complete service

knowledge OF Russian life and .

forts Of his literary career to the
same kind of prestidigitation-to
an effort to build an immortal

All Russian literature portrays
to us. in its effort to create 4
permanent native type, men Of
weak win. incapable Of energetic
action. Although energetic, strong
willed Russians present themselves
occasionally in real life, either
they are not described at all in
our literature or they are dragged
in deformed as evil geniuses. The
really worthwhile and efficient
man. who fights valiantly and OBJ
stinately to gain social or per-
sonal ends, Is either entirely lack
ing in Russian literature or fig
ures there as an avaricious vii
lain.
None the less, our writers have
from the beginning hunted zeal
ously for just and good characters.
That pursuit leads them into an
odd byway. Wherever our poets
and story writers revolt against the
idea Of making their good charac-
ters helpless idiots, they make
them foreigners. Gontascharov
represents his model hero as an
industrious German. Gogol as a
Greek. Turgenev as a Bulgar,
Lyeskov as a Swiss; and. strange
as It may appear. that coolhead-

We need the man Of righteous
conduct" the man with the heart

but we do not find him; so we take
for our model the folklore hero,
1vanushka the Fool, who ''lives
for the day." We never conceive
q man Of positive. energetic, and
yet righteous character as one Of
ourselves. II we do conceive such
a man, we at once either suspect
his motives or hate and maiign
him: In our own hearts We are
afraid of him.

Judging from reports from drug
