Father Oaptfff, It will be remember-
ed, led the strikers on the day of the
massacre In St. Petersburg, and was
shot down at the Varna Gate. He
escaped, and his presence has since
been announced in nearly every other
European capital.
M. Pobledonoatseff. the notoriously
fanatical, reactionary .procurator of
the holy synod, who Is one of the
greatest obstacles to reforms in Rus-
sia, now has to deal with a revolt in
the church itself, which has joined
the people against the bureaucrasy
and Is demanding greater freedom In
tho spiritual and administrative life
of the church. This demand is voiced
in a manifesto issued by a group of
St. Petersburg priests and In a letter
by Bishop Dmitri, and is aimed
directly at the procurator, whose pow-
er to obstruct reforms is regarded as
paralysing the church. M. Pobiedono-
stseff was born at Moscow in 1827,
and educated at St. Petersburg, where
he studied at the Imperial school of
jurisprudence to the hereditary Grand
Duke Nicholas and mafty grand dukes
of Russia, anfl has been a member of
the council of state since 1872.
GIFT OF HOME MAKING.
tha
Question Entirely Apa* From
Use of Money,
There are women who can turn the
barest kind of an attic into a cozy,
pretty place, because they possess the
the gift of home-making. There are
WAYS THAT BRING BAD LUCK.
Waste Is Not Generosity, Nor Is |
Thrift Stinginess.
There is an old superstition that It
Is bad luck to burn a piece of bread.
The origin of this is obvious, sajs
I the Saturday Evening Post, thoug^
others who cannot give a
home like ‘ probably few indeed of those who re-
air to any room, even when their re-
sources are unlimited, says the Philo ■

There was absolutely no stint to tha
money that could be spent at will, >ei
a more desolate abode I never saw.
There was not a single nook where
comfort could he found, although
there were gorgeous reception and
music rooms, and sitting rooms for
each bedroom. I never saw a book
while I was there, and lit a house
where domestic assistance was plenti-

had that house, changes that books

.shows the lack of it much more quick-
ly than simpler ones.

j have paused to think that it dates
from those times when families were
! part of the regular order of life.
Famine no longer troubles the
imagination of men; but the broad
truth under the foolish superstition
remains. Burning bread isn’t any
i more likely to bring bad luck than
| wasting it in another way. But wast-
ing anything in any way is extreme
provocation to what we call "bad
luck.’’ If the grown people who
I habitually waste do not suffer for it
their children surely will—for they
will follow the example set them, and
j rare Indeed is It that a family can sur-
vive the faults of tvto .successive
wasteful generations.
Waste is not generosity; thrift Is
not stinginess. There are millions of
Americans, especially among the poor
and the not-too-well-ofT, who seem to
think so. A thorough investigation
would place at the head of the list of
causes of poverty: “Wastefulness in-
herited from wasteful parents.”
TWO FIGURES OF TRAGEDY.
SCHOOLS THE NATION'S LIFE. | PRAISE QUALITIES OF JAPS.
Results Show the Far-Seeing Wisdom
ef Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson, of all men, ap-
preciated the value and importance of
the public school, lie knew that the
republic must rest upon enlighten-
ment If It was destined to succeed.
History, with which Jefferson was
thoroughly familiar, hail taught him
that a nation In which only the rich
were educated could not permanently
exist. Especially In the United States,
where suffrage was universal, he felt
the necessity of equipping each voter
with tho Intelligence necessary to
make a wise choice when opposing
ballots were placed in his hands. The
tho
Englishman Thinks They Are
Greatest Surgeons.
Sir Frederick Treves, tin* great Eng-
lish physician and surgeon, says in
his notes of travel: "There Is every
probability that tho Japanese school
of surgery will become a great school,
for the native of Japan has qualities
which are excellent in the making of
a surgeon; he is not troubled by
"nerves'; he is Infinitely* patient, fas-
tidiously clean, as well as most neat
and dexterous with his hands. More-
over, he has a love of ritual as well
as of preeisioh in ritual, and in the
prosecution of antiseptic surgery this
counts for much. The Japanese are
Lord Byron and Napoleon Alike in
Many Respects.
The more I think of Byron the more
clear it becomes to me that he is,
first, second and third, a tragic ngure.
He was the child of a loveless mar-
riage, that constant source of huge
armies of discordant natures. His
upbringing was tragic; his marriage
was tragic; his loves yvere tragic; his
death, which at first I thought only
tragic-farce, is actual tragedy. Byron
;and Napoleon, contemporaries, were
the analogues and complements of
each other. Byron is the passive
tragedy of the imaginative tempera-
ment as poet, using expression; Na-
poleon is the active tragedy of the
Imaginative temperament as warrior
and world-compeller, employing deeds.
Byron inevitably ends in an abortive
attempt at action in Greece; Napole-
on, as inevitably, in an abortive at-
tempt at expression (the dictated me-
moirs) in St. Helena.—Jolju Davidson,
in London Outlook.
WANTED THE CAT WATCHED,
millions of dollars expended upon the shrewdly observant, nimble of nppre-
pttblic schools are. as Jefferson fore-
saw, a wiso Investment. The gov-
ernment wants good citizens and It
believes that the public schools pre-
sent the most effective and at the
same lime (he cheapest method of ac-
complishing this result.—Washington
Post.
btnaion, receptive and of large mlnd-
*c(i and oathollc views, it is said that
they are neither logical nor profound.
If this be true they seem to have
come to small ill from the lack of
these qualities."
JIU-JITSU AND WATER.
Japanese System Has Shown Value of
Internal Use of Fluid.
One of the most valuable features of
the spa regimen is simply water. For
the plague of Intestlnul sluggishness
some of our best specialists recom-
mend a glass of hot or cold water Im-
mediately before rising. There are
thousands of people at this moment
poisoning themselves with drugs
whose whole outlook on life might be
completely changed by this common-
place remedy. Jiu-jitsu, the Japanese
scheme of physical training. Is said to
Include in Its more rigorous forms
the daily consumption of two or three
gallons of water. The fact Is that
water exercises a cleansing effect on
the Inside as well as the outside of
the body and enables the secretive

BAN ON PAPERS LIFTED.
Russian Censorship In the Future to
Be Less Severe.
M. Michael de Krivoehlik for many
years has been keeping an eye on all
newspapers entering and published in
Russia. He has power to strike out
anything which he considers danger-
ous for the Russian people to know,
and hts authority was so great that
he was even privileged to cut out
paragraphs from the foreign news-
papers intended for the personal use
of tho czar. The recent decree of the
czar to abolish the censorship of the
press will relieve Krivoehlik of a
great deal of his responsibility. The
new Russian press law is almost
similar to that in force in Germany—
newspapers are allowed to print
almost anything, but the editors are
made responsible for anything appear-
ing in their papers.
"Wolf" Was Alaskan Dog.
Recently the whole county of
Northumberland, England, was torn
up over a hunt for a wandering "wolf."
The hunt lasted for days. Finally the
animal was found where it had been
killed by a railroad train. It was
stuffed and put on exhibition. Capt.
Alexander Thompson, of 'J’acoma,
saw it and wrote to a newspaper: "Ho
was no wolf at all, but a malamoot—
one of the breed used for sleigh
teams in Alaska—and looking closer
Into the animal's face I recognized an
old acquaintance. His name was
Toby, and he was born at Circle City,
Alaska. After experiences in the
Klondike region, he was brought over
to England for exhibition purposes."
Solicitude Under the Circumstances
Not Unreasonable.
The lale Father Scully of Cam-
bridge, Mass., told the following story
at a temperance lecture in Medford:
There was a man in Cambridge who
vas a confirmed drunkard, and whose
friends had tried hard to reform him.
Father Scully met him one day, and
thought he would try a new way of
refonm. He told the man if he did not
stop drinking he yvould turn into*a
rat. This had a great effect. The
unfortunate commenced to brood over
it. He started for home, and sat for
hours, thinking that he was going to
turn into a rat. Finally he called his
wife and said: “Mary, if over you
see me turning into a rat, for God’s
sake keep your eye on the cat.”
Lived Century and a Half.
Thomas Parr lived ^52 .years and
was buried In Westminster abbey.
Born in Shropshire, England, in 1483,
Parr led the life of an agricultural la-
borer in his native place till blind-
ness and extreme old age kept him
Indoors. Early In 1C35, his longevity
having made him famous, Thomas,
earl of Arundel, brought him to Lon-
don to be exhibited to Charles I. l^o
was lodged in the Strand, but the
change of air and diet told upon him
and in November of the same year
he died. He is described as a good
looking man, of medium size, with a
deep chest and a thick beard. He at-
tributed his excellent health to nfod-
oration in eating and drinking.

Singers Become Americans.
Signor Campanarl, who has just fol-
lowed the example of Mine. Schu-
mann-Heink and applied for citizen-
ship papers, is the moRt American of
all the opera singers and has always
declared that his children shall he
reared as Americans. He takes his
vacations always at some of the
American resorts. He has just bought
himself a home in the Adirondack.?
and now declares (hat he will never
go to Europe again. On his last visit
he returned with a higher opinion
than ever of the musical advancement
of this country and was compelled to
admit that even in opera Italy Blood
so far below our average that he
could not understand how the public
could put up with the performances.
Cockrell's Machine a Wonder.
F. M. Cockrell, Jr., son of ex-Senator
CoekreB, is the inventor of a sugar
cane cutter that promises to revolu-
tionize the sugar-planting industry of
the south and at the same time to
make its Inventor a millionaire. His
machine will do the work of more
than 100 men. It cuts, strips and tops
the rane and Is pronounced by ex-
perts who have seen it In operation
a wonderful machine, that will mean
as much to the sugar cane Industry
as did the cotton gin to the cotton
business.
Now Floating Fortresses.
The latest weapon of man is a float-
ing fortress for coast defense pur-
poses. This fighting machine, which
is called the Cerberus, lacks in every
line of beauty. It is nothing more
nor less than a perfectly round float-
ing fort, about 200 feet in diameter,
heavily protected by impenetrable
thicknesses of armor plate and
equipped wjtli batteries of heavy
guns far too larve to be mounted upon
any ordinary warship. The idea of
the invention was suggested by a
small but strongly fortified Island.
The new fighting ship makes no pre-
tense at attaining high speed. On the
other hand. It is maintained that with
the aid of such floating fortresses the
Japanese could have effectively bot-
tled up Port Arthur without the aid
of their huge fleet. •
College Hazing In Scotland.
They haze in Scotland, too, only
thert- they call It "ragging." A recent
exploit of certain St. Andrew's univer-
sity students was to shave the head
of an unpopular man and cover it with
red paint. Then their vengeance fell
upon one who had refused to join in
their frolics. With great solemnity he
was tried and found guilty of publish-
ing libels against their supreme high-
nesses the king of Siam and the dey
of Algiers, and for a punishment was
forcibly carried to the Swilcan burn,
a stream running through the famous
links, and there ducked.
Hyde Victim of Camera Fiends.
James H. Hyde, who is engaged in
a fight for control of the Equitable
Life Company in New York, is paying
the penalty of his celebrity. Wher-
ever he goes he is followed by a vol-
unteer entourage of detectives, report*
ers. snapshooters and plain curiosity-
seekers. At a theater the other even-
ing he divided honors with the star of
the play, but did not seem to mind it
much. Mr. Hyde has grown gaunt tin-
der the strain of his battle to retain
possession of what he calls his "birth-
right."
Had Seen too Many Ghosts.
A gentleman who had been a con-
sistent attendant at spiritualist*- se-
ances for a year past was describing
what happened in the darkened room
when the conditions were all favor-
able and spirits were materializing.
"Really, now,” said the lady to
whom he was talking, "you don’t mean
to tell me that you actually believe in
ghosts, that you believe you hear and
see ghosts?"
“Oh, no, madam, I have seen too
many to believe in them. I have seen
enough to see that my senses have
been deceived.”
Quaint Horn Dance.
Among the quaint old customs and
ceremonies still kept alive in coun-
try districts there is only one "horn
dance,” and that is to be found at Ab-
bots Bromley, in Staffordshire. Every
year at the village wake the dance
is still carried out. The origin of the
horn dance is lost in the mists of
history, but it has been traced back
as far as the eleventh century. Until
the seventeenth century it was prac-
ticed at Christmas, on New Year’s
day and on Twelfth day. In the time
of Henry VIII. the dance was per-
formed in front of the church every
Sunday, and a collection for the poor
taken up from the spectators.

Charges that Gen. Francis V.
Ogceue, as one of the officers of the
Asphalt trust, drew a draft for $100,-
C00 for the support of the Matos revo-
lutfon against President Castro and
that the New Yoi^k and Bermudez
company entered into an alliance
with the revolutionists are the most
startling charges published in a de-
cision of the Federal District Court of
Venezuela on March 14. 1905. This
decision was in denial of the motion
made by the New York and Bermudez
company for dismissal of the action’
of the court to compel the company
to pay damages to Venezuela for har-

in an interview with Mr. Hay and af-

DAY OF “GUN MEN” ENDED.
Quickness of Brain Has Succeeded to Quickness of
Fingers. ®
Little Lesson in Living.
We all take life too seriously, of
course, but to some it Is a mountain
of duties that must never bo lost sight
of. "Some day 1 am going to remain
in bed and rest to my heart's content,”
said a tireiT woman one day, as she
went over the list of things that she
thoughts must be done. That was five
years ago, and recently she was asked
if she had found "some day,” and she
confessed that she had not. She never
will, for she will never be able to dig
through the mountain she was foolish
enough to build up years ago. She has
forgotten how to live. That is the
trouble with many of us.
Half a dozen men are still alive in
the West who can take a Colt's .45,
six-shooter, twirl it on the finger, and
every time the barrel comes to the
'level pull the trigger and hit the
mark. ®
I believe that Showton of New-
castle, given a Colt’s and a pocket
full of cartridges, could kill any num-
ber of men that tried to reach him
within 150 feet, providing they could
•not shoot as quick anil as true .as he.
But the days of the "gun” man are
almost at an end. The man of work
is driving him to a finish. Industry
is taking the place of the six-shooter.
We kill in these days with a dollar
and not a cartridge, and the execu-
tion is more deadly than any warfare
ever waged with bullets.
On I.a Salle street and about the
Board of Trade 1 know half a dozen
men who daily in the legitimate prog-
ress of industry put out of the run-
ning in active business from two to
a dozen men, small and big. One or
two of these masters of industry have
it within their power to disturb the
happiness, the comforts, the sense of
financial security, of a thousand
homes. Sometimes they do. ^
Wild Bill thought lie was busy
when he killed a man a week with
his pistols. He has been dead since
1876, but he certainly never dreamed
that the day was coming when busi-
ness, the doings of things in industry,
the life of work, would mainland un-
make more men in twenty-four hours
than he ever influenced in year.
The times have passed from blood-
shed and quarrels of the irre-
sponsibles to the work of those who
would rather make a plant grow than
take a human life.
All this Is suggested by some things
Arthur Chapman has recently written
of Wild Bill, rightly termed the
greatest gun fighter the West ever
knew, and who die" at the gaming
table by a foul shot the year Phila-
delphia gave the centennial to the
city council of Chicago enjoy a six-
shooter programme of this character:
’’Wild Bill could also be diplomatic
on occasion, as he proved when the
council of Abilene was debating the
question of increasing the license of
the saloons in the town. One of the
aldermen had made the vote a tie
by refusing to put in an appearance.
When the case was stated in the
council chamber Wild Bill arose and
briefly stated that he would get the
man. The alderman had barricaded
himself in his office and refused to
come forth. Wild Bill hurled his six
feet of brawn against the door and
it tumbled in. Then he kicked the
heels of the alderman from under him
and carried the man to the council
chamber like a sack of meal. The of-
ficial was plumped unceremoniously
into his chair, with Wild Bill sitting
at his elbow, and his vote was duly
cast and recorded.”
Chapman laconically adds what I
have commented upon:
"The historic streets of Abilene and
Dodge City rarely echo to the clatter
of a cow-pony’s hoofs to-day. The
once great cattle marts are now pros-
perous inland cities, surrounded by
fertile ranches and conventionally
peaceful in their ways. , Blue-coated

“Age has its compensation*," re-
marked the woman whose luncheon
had disagreed with her, says the Phil-
adelphia Record. "I never feel so
thankful to be grown up as when I
see a woman grab her offspring
amidships and with it stuck through
her arm like a sack of meal, proceed
to cross the snowy or muddy street.
Not content with this, she plumps the
child down on the opposite corner
with an irritable ‘Come on.’ And she

Chapman writes of him:
"Tom Smith’s successor as marshal
of Abilene was his very antKlfcsis—
Wild Bill Hickock. A young corre-
spondent the New York Herald.
Henry M. Stanley by name, whose im-
pressions anil experiences in the^West
helped him immeasureably in his after
work in Africa, called Wild Bill a
ohild of nature.
“But rather, Wild Bill was of the
stage. A jiinli and white giant, with
long, shining curls hanging to his
shoulders, the very appearance of this
hawk-faced artist in gun play argued
of the footlights. No man has ever
been his -equal in handling firearms.”
So now we write or say that a Har-
rlman, a Morgan or a Hill have been
and are without equal in carry^ig out
industrial projects—and not one of
them understands how to throw over
a single-action gun and "pink” the ob-
ject aimed at.
„ As Chapman tells it. how would the
whose eloquent revolvers once car-
ried the message of order Into Cattle-
dom would have no place amid such
surroundings.”
Wild Bill and his pistols are buried
on Mount Moriah 500 feet above Dead-
wood.
From Abilene to wheij^ he died the
annual volume of business now ex-
ceeds $250,000,000 a year.

NIGHT A TIME FOR THOUGHT.
College Professor's Advice Upsets Old
Order of Things.
Here now is a college professor
who tells his students that the old
adage of "early to bed and early to
rise” is out of date and untrue, so far
at least as the last blessing It prom-
ises us is concerned. His thesis is
that the time-honored aphorism only
applied to the elder days when the
shades of night were only to be dis-
pelled by a farthing candle or an ill-
smelling whale-oil lamp, but in these
joyous latter days—ar nights—of
luminous kerosene anil the incandes-
cent mantle or the clever little elec-
tric bulb the situation is altogether
changed; that the night hours are the
true time for study and mental effort;
keen and wide awake, the soul more
open to the inspiration of genius; in
short, that the morning is no time
for brain work at all.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Origin of “Namby Pamby. ”
The term ’’namby pamby,” which
has come to be applied to a person of
vacillating character as well as to
weak literary productions, was orig-
inated by the poet Pope. He applied
it to some puerile verses that had
been written by an obscure poet, one
Ambrose Phillips, addressed to the
children of a peer. The first half
of the term is meant as a baby way
of pronouncing Amby. a pet nickname
for Ambrose, and the second half is
simply a jingling word to fit it.
Comic Opera Warfare.
The great Marshal Saxe was very
fond of gnyety, and used to say. "The
French troops must be led on gaily."
His camp was always a gay scene,
and it was at his camp theater that
he gave the order for battle. The
principal actress used to come fop
ward and say: "There will be no play
to-morrow, on account of the battle
which the marshal intends giving;
the day following we shall act "The
Cock of the Village’ and ’The Merry
Intriguers.' "—Stray Stories.
