THE SERFS OF RUSSIA.
M ; **
PlOKiriwK Tfccw. Was Owe of the Do.
ttM of the Police.
Father will not be appeased, says
Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic. He
calls In Makar, the piano tuner and
•nbtmtler, and reminds him of all his
recent rina He was drunk last week
and mast have been drunk yesterday,
for be broke half a dozen plates. In
fact, the breaking of these plates was
the real cause of all the disturbance.
Stepmother had reported the fact to fa
ther in the morning, and that was why
Uliana was received with more scold
ing than was usually the case, why the
verification of the hay was undertaken
and why father continued to about that
"this progeny of Ham” deserved all the
punishments on earth.
All of a sudden there is a lull in the
storm. My father has taken hie seat at
the table and writes a note to the police
station. Mahar with this note
to the police Station, and let 100 lashes
with the birch rod be given to him.”
Terror and absolute muteness reign
in the house.
The clock strikes 4, and we all go
down to dinner, but no one has any ap
petite, and the soup remains in the
plates untouched. We are ten at table,
and behind each one of us a violinist or
a trombone player stands, with a clean
plate in his left hand, but Makar is not
among them.
“ Where is Makar?” stepmother aska
“Call him in.”
Makar does not appear, and the order
is repeated. He enters at last, pale,
with a distorted face, ashamed, his eyes
cast down. Father looks into his plate,
while stepmother, seeing that no one
has touched the soup, tries to encourage
us.
“Don’t you find, children,” she says,
“that the soup is delicious?'*
Tears suffocate me, and immediately
after dinner is over I run out, catch
Makar in a dark passage and try to
kiss his hand, but he tears it away and
says, either as a reproach or as a ques
tion, “Let me alone. And you, too,,
when you are grown up, will be just
the same?”
“No, no; never!”
Yet father was not of the worst of
landowners. On the contrary, the serv
ants and the peasants considered him to
be one of the best. What we saw in
our house was going- on everywhere,
often in much more cruel forms. The
flogging of the serfs was a regular part
of the duties of the police.
LONG DISTANCE FIGHTING.
Impossible to Tell Infantry From
Cavalry at Two Thousand Yards.
“Unless they have had experience,”
remarked an armj officer, “people are
very likely to have a very imperfect
idea as to distances in army and field
operations and as a result get things
considerably mixed. When they read
that armies are engaging with each oth
er at 2,000 yards between them, they
may think that they can see each other,
but' the reality is far different.
“At that distance, to the naked eye,
a man or a horse does not look any
larger than a speck. It is impossible to
distinguish at that distance between a
man and a horse, and at 800 yards less,
1,200 yards, especially where there is
any dust, it requires the best kind of
eyes to tell infantry from cavalry. At
900 yards the movements become clear
er, though it is not until they get with
in 750 yards of each other that the
heads of the columns can be made out
with anything like certainty.
“Infantry can be seen in the sunlight
much easier than the cavalry or artil
lery, for the reason that less dust is
raised. Besides that, infantry can be dis
tinguished by the glitter of their mus
kets. At 2,000 yards, however, every
thing is unsatisfactory, even with the
aid of field glasses, for a marching col
umn in dry weather raises a great deal
of duet.”—Washington Star.
A True Caballero.
Well in the middle of the grounds
stands General Anderson’s headquar
ters. As we went up the steps a tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, preceded
us. We noticed his military bearing
and were told that he was the captain
of one of the Spanish men-of-war which
lies with projecting spars at the bottom
of Cavite harbor. Following his foot
steps, we of necessity overheard what
he said to the general’s aid:
“Senor, I borrowed, some time ago,
S2OO from Admiral Dewey to pay off
my men. I have come to repay the
debt.”
He turned his profile toward us, and
we noticed how thin he looked. He
must have starved himself to collect
the money. With a very straight back,
he counted out the Spanish bills and
turned to ga
“Will you not take a receipt?” asked
the aid of General Anderson.
“Never from an officer,” answered
the gray haired old gentleman, with a
courtly old fashioned bow.
Here at least is a true Spanish Cabal
lero. —Harper’s Weekly.
A Gorgeona Kin*.
Luinaka, the king of Barotse Land,
says a traveler, is held in great fear and
respect by his people. His court has as
much etiquette and ceremonial as that
of Louis XIV. His band of musicians
make both day and night hideous with
their performances. The music is done
to drive away evil spirits. Luinaka
himself is an imposing spectacle.
Tbe king wears a long blue dressing
gown trimmed with red braid, trousers
and shirt, and on his bead a scarlet
nightcap, and above it a black terai hat.

like they have over to Jimmy Smith

“Why, what kind of luck do the
Smithers have?”

A Meadica&t’a Account of Uow Mo Lao* a
“Yes, sir,” said the one legged man
mournfully to the man whose attention he
had attracted by addressing him as “Bay,
friend”—“l lost thia leg at Cuba, and
that’s the truth.”
“You don’t my,” the other observed
sym pathetically. “I’ve been reading about
the trials and troubles of you poor fallows
—that is, allowing you are telling taste
and really were there.”
“Friend, I hope I may die In this spot
and die painfully if it isn't just aa I tall
you. I know I am suspected aa a fraud
because there are so many liars who try to
work on people’s sympathies, but I am
telling the actual, honest truth. I lost
this login Cuba. If you’ll give me a
mister, I'll roll you all about it It's a
very Interest)-.# story.”
The sympathetic stranger, being assur
ed, oom plied:
“It was a dark night, friend,” the crip
ple began, “and nobody but a fool or a
man who was half drunk would have
thought of doing such a thing. I s’posa tn
all honesty I ought to confess I’d took a
drop that night.”
“I can understand. I have beard about
that rainfall and the mud and exposure. ”
“ Yea, it was a dark night, and you could
not see a thing. Suddenly a bright light
flashed over to the west. It was a head
light.”
“Ah, yes! a searchlight, you mean.”
“And then there came the roar and rat
tle of”—
“A rapid fire gun. Was there any smoke
to it?”
“Too dark to see, but I know there was,
though, for I've gone against the same
game in daylight, and I know how it looks.
Well, the fellow who waa firing”—
“Only one? But, of course, there was
but one handling IL”
“There was only one of ’em firing, but
he was a daisy all right. ‘Will it never
stop?’ I asked my mate.
“ 'Well just take it anyway,’ says he.
“As I said, we had been drinking. No
body but one who had would 'a* tried to
dolt.”
“Heroic man!” murmured the sympa
thetic stranger.
“So, when she came up close I, seeing
she wasn’t going to stop for the crossing
at all, made a grab for the hand bolt on
the first box car. My mate jumped for a
flat and made it, but I missed and fell to
the track, and the wheel went over this
leg.
“ That’s the way it happened. If you
don’t believe it, you can write to the doc
tor at Cuba, Miseoury, and he’ll tell you
It’s gospel truth. I may be a mendicant,
sir, but I am no liar.”—Chicago Record.
A Sample of a Good Moro.
Professor Dean C. Worcester contributes
to The Century an article on “The Malay
Pirates of the Philippines.” Speaking of
his guide, Professor Worcester says:
Toolawee was considered a good Moro,
and we were therefore interested in certain
incidents which gave us an insight into
his real character. After satisfying him
self by observation that we could use our
rifles with some effect, he made us a rather
startling business proposition in the fol
lowing words: “You gentlemen shoot
quite well with the rifle.” “Yes; we have
had some experience.” “You desire to get
samples of the clothing and arms of my
countrymen tor your collection?” “Yes.”
“Papa (General Arolas) told you if you
met armed Moros outside the town to or
der thorn to lay down their arms and re
tire?” “Yes.” “Papa does not understand
my people as I da They are all bad.
When we meet them, do not ask them to
lay down their arms, for they will oome
back again and get them and probably at
tack us. Just shoot as many of them as
possible. You can then take their arms
and clothing, and I will cut off their
heads, shave their eyebrows, show them to
papa and claim the reward for killing
juramentados. ”
He never really forgave us for refusing
to enter into partnerhip with him on this
very liberal basis.
She Rubbed BoyaU?.
Among the guests at Monte Carlo last
year were a very ordinary looking couple
who kept to themselves and paid but
slight attention to the passing throng, but
one night two English royalties arrived,
and after dinner tbe princess went up to
the couple and spoke most graciously to
them. Then every one wanted to know
who they were. Undeniable evidence of
breeding was observed about their man
ners, and their unobtrusive ways indicated
exclusiveness An English lady was ob
served talking to them one night, and the
inquisitive crowd surged round her. “Do
tell us who she is!” they chorused. “(B),”
was the reply, “that is the queen’s mas
seuse, who is now on her wedding trip.
She has rubbed her royal highness* knee
and her majesty’s feet, and—she has rub
bed me all over!” —Exchange.
She Objects to Cigarettes.
A ridiculous rumor is current that the
reeent illness of the czarina has been due
to slow poisoning, the arsenic being ad
ministered—so it is said—by a trusted lady
in waiting in the empress’ morning cup
of chocolate. Sensational rumors of this
kind are continually cropping up, and the
mere fact that the czarina has long been
in ill health was quite sufficient basis on
which to found this highly colored story.
That the empress is unpopular is certain
ly not true. On the contrary, she has
won the confidence of her husband’s peo
ple by her gentleness and tact, her edict
against her ladies in waiting smoking
cigarettes being the one trivial grievance
they have against her.—London Letter.

made, after the artist’s own carefully

Lives of the IweMS Balden.
A meat interesting account of the
manner in which the Uvea at Jameson
and his men were spared, after the rar
render to the Boers, is told fay the
Nieuwu Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Boers, whan they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreak. The meet
ingtook place in President Kruger**
house, 20 being present, of whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British offi
cers at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum
mary plan and used all his eloquence
and all his influence on behalf of the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. It was 4 o’clock in the
morning, and tbe president’s opponents
were still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hung by a thread.
At length General Joubert, one of the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time- Boer method of
convincing his hearers. He made use of
a parable.
“Friends,” he said, “will you not
listen to my voice once more? Suppose
that close to my farm Uvea a bad neigh
bor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing some. What, then,
would you have me to do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would say unto me:
‘Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou me I* Is it not better
that I should take the hounds and go
ing into my neighbor’s house say,
’These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done my flock?’ ”
There was silence, and the general
sontinued: “We have caught the peck.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demand* for
reparation, lest the British send more
hounds to worry us anew?”
The old form of argument proved
successful. The wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and the council of
war accepted the advice of their chiefs.
SERVANTS* EXCUSES.
Oae Worn** Who Was Clever Eneagh
to Circwmvsat Them.
We have heard the story of the Cana
dian mistress -who, with seven servants
in her house, was obliged to go to the
garden and pick berries for the table.
Each of the servants declined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, “It ain’t
my place to pick berries. ” Ord, in his
“History of Cleveland,” relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting her servants* excuse,
yet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy,
had a family pie for dinner, which she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to his place, or
rather, as derogatory to his conse
quence. The lady then moved the ques
tion to the coachman, but found a still
stronger objection.
To save the pride of both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself. She ordered one man to
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind, and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to a sec
ond time and the footman to mount be
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back
the pie in the same dignified state.
“Now,” said the lady to the coach
man, “you have kept your plaoe, which
is to drive, and you yours, ” to the foot
man, “which is to wait, and I mine,
which is to have my pie for dinner.”
Continuous Steel Pipe.
The West Australian government has
taken a contract to lay nearly 850 miles
of water pipe of a novel character. This
pipe is to be made of steel spirals pack
ed in concrete. Sheet metal is out into
strips of the required width. These are
fed into a machine and welded into one
continuous strip. As the strip is fed in
to the machine rivet holes are punched;
then the edges of the laps are brought
together by machinery and held during
the process of riveting, which is all
done by compression. The lap is thrown
on the outside of the pipe, rendering the
inner surface sooth and even throughout
its length. A tenacious hydraulic ce
ment is packed around the laps, making
the pipe absolutely water tight—New
York Ledger.
She Loves Birds.
The dowager empress of China is de
voted to birds of all kinds, and innu
merable bird pets are kept abqut the
palace. She is reported to have wept
copiously about the death of a favorite
nightingale not along aga Upon being
told of a Chinese girl who had com
plained bitterly of the dreariness of life
this exalted lady remarked sagely that
a woman ought to take so much pride
In her home that it could be a heaven
to her, adding, “There are always birds
and flower a” She is a clever artist and
delights in painting from nature.
