to press a button to sound an alarm
in all the barracks, a whole army
would stand ready to march within
two hours? Without Winking an eye,
without asking why or where. Each
battalion ready to go to any part of
the Russian kingdom, each man fired
with the holy fervor to serve the
Little Father and to offer blood for
him.
There is no finer, no more faithful
being on earth than the soldier. The
Car is his ruler, his all. The soldier
is religious, besides. And SO long as
our priests keep the lamps burning
before the ikons there Is no danger
for Russia"
How about the riots of a few years
ago." / ventured to ask, as with one
stroke he emptied his half-flled cham
payne glass. What caused them?"
Bah" he answered throwing out
his hands "Nitschevo-a bagatelle, q
bagatelle! A few disturbers of the
peace-what country hasn't some of
them? Revolt-coup d'etat? Empty
talk, silly rumors that our enemies
spread around to injure our credit.
Mark my words, we shall have no big
revolution here, so long as the army
exists and the muzhik sleeps away
half the day before the fire. And
that he will do to end of time"

WE had finished smoking, and the
w champagne was gone. Pardon
me-" Jurej Michailowitsch said alb
ruptly. but my wife and l must go
and entertain our guests"
Again we returned to the merry
whirl of the ballroom. Again the!
general became prince in his king
dom, man of l'ancien regime who
knew nothing of treachery or plots.
conspiracy or political intrigue. For
him the future was but a haphazard
continuation of the present.
Was 1t not possible to raise an army
out of the earth itself merely by ring
ing a bell? Who would dare to
thrust a pitchfork into the lair of the
Russian bear?
Thus I saw Jure1 Michailowitsch

IT was a sunny afternoon in south
ern France. The air was heavy.
The roses had stopped blooming long
ago, and even the plane-trees had
begun to droop. On my way from one
town to another, I had managed to
find a seat near the door of the
rafting NOTORIOUS crowded with pas
engers-heavy-s rnatrons elbowing
their way past the perspiring laborers,
gardeners carrying baskets filled with
lettuce, cabbage and asparagus, and
stepping on the toes of the brick
layers, with now and then a little
midinette flashing in and out of the
crowd in her simple but smart
trotteuse.

Egyptian Spite,

HE childish trait of taking it out
on an inanimate object waen one
mas a MT of temper seems to have
been serious business in ancient
Egypt.
An archaeological expedition of the
Berlin Museum has lust returned from
Egypt with 200 pieces of pottery
fragments of some 80 clay vessels, all
written over with the names of for.
elgn Princes and peoples with whom
the Egyptians of about 200 BIC. were
at war, together with a number of
Egyptian names as WELL presumably
or rebellious communities. These
names, it is believed, were inscribed
on the vessels, which were then shat
tered with suitable ceremonials, in
the belief that the foes would thereby
be injured.

The municipal council of Nice, on
the French Riviera, recently tried to
abolish the sidewalk cafes of the city.
To one who has travelled in the Latin
countries of southern Europe there
could be but one outcome to Such a
conflict; the council lost. The place
of this institution, little known in the
United States, is brought out in the
following bulletin from the Washing
ton headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
Imagine the drug stores along
Main street, or Broadway, or Mar
ket street providing a row of tables
and chairs on the sidewalk along
their walls and serving there soft
drinks and ices" says the bulletin,
while at similar tables nearby res
taurants were serving coffee and not
chocolate to whomever dropped out
of the passing throng and found a va
cant seat. The situation would be
very specifically like that on the
principal thoroughfares of most
cities of southern Europe when
weather permits. But it could only
family suggest the original. There is
a sidewalk cafe spirit that is part of
the institution; and even the most
faithful copy from the Rue de la PaiX
would seem out of place in bustling
America.
1.-THE average American first makes
the acquaintance of the sidewalk cafe
in Paris; becomes, in his holiday
mood, an habitue; and assumes, per-
hfps, that it is a European fixture.
Then he begins his travels and finds
that the type changes with every
change of setting.
I'm the Riviera, the land of perpet-
ual holiday, the sidewalk cafe be-
comes to a considerable extent a ter
race or garden cafe, sort of aristo-
cratic brother of the more democratic
institution. But in spite of this ten
dency there are the usual sidewalk
cafes as well.
I'm the cities of Italy the sidewalk
cafe lives, but in most of them it
seems to lead more timid, tentative
existence than in Paris. The outside
tables are fewer; more customers 90
inside for their drinks. Here one
meets still another development--half-
sidewalk cafes, one might call them
in wide arcades, as near the Duomo in
Milan and along the Corso near the
Piazza Colonna in Rome.
"Venice and her balmy air well
comes the sidewalk cafe. One finds
them at the ends of Gales and at
times the great Piazza OF st. Marks
is almost clogged by the floods of

This mans story of his childhood

plain his present status and faculty
He was socially rather shy, did not
care much to play outdoors, and so
found himself porting over books, espe
cially those containing maps. He
liked to puzzle over railroad time
tables and figure out places to which
he would wish to go.
A taste for figures soon showed
itself-he once counted the number

Intoxication Scale.

JUST how much alcohol does it take
to produce intoXication? A Ger
man doctor recently reported his in
vestigations, which showed that up
to one fluid ounce of alcohol in di-
luted beverages is harmless. People
who are not accustomed to drinking
may show slight signs of intoxica-
ton from two ounces. while a dose
of three ounces. taken within cou-
pie of hours, always results in drunk
enness for the inexperienced.
