CHAPTER XII.—(.Continued) Our First Winter NOW il' uur thoughts over took ho grim n turn we could speak quite calmly about It. it wus impossible for ma evor lo think of Uuth ns sick. My mind couldn't grasp that. But occnrlonally when 1 huve como home wet und Uuth hus snid something about my getting pneumonia IE I didn't luok out, I've asked myself what this would mean. In Uie Ilrst place I now eould secure admission to ihe hem hospitals in Hi*' country free of cost, 1 hnd only to report my case lo the city physician and if i were sick enough to warrant it, Im would notify lhe hospital and thon would send down an ambulance for mb. 1 would be carried to a clean bed in a clean room ami would receive such medical attention as before I could have bad only as a millionaire. Physicians of national reputation would attend me, medicines would liu supplied me, nnd I'd have a nlgkt nnd duy nurse for whom outside 1 Would have bud tu pay some forty dollars a week. Nol onto ibis, but if 1 recovered I would be supplied lhe most nourishing foods In the murket and after that sent oul of town to one of the quiet convalescent hospitals if my condition warranted It. 1 don't suppose n thousand dollars would cover what here would be glyen me for nothing. And 1 wouldn't either lie considered or treated like t\ charity patient. This was all my due as a citizen—us a toller. Of course this would be done also for Dick as well as for Ruth. 1 don't mean to say that such thoughts took up much of my time. I'm not morbid and we never did have uny sickness—we lived too sanely for thut. Hut just as our now view-pqjpt on Dick relieved us of a tension which before had supped our strength, so it was a great relief to have such insurance as this in the background of our minds. It took all the curse off sickness that it's possible lo take off. In three or four such ways as these a load of responsibility was removed from us and we were left free to apply all our energy to tbe tusk of upbuilding which we bud in hand. This mny account somewhat for the reserve strength which Uuth us well as myself seemed to tap. Then, of course, the situation as a whole was such as to muke any woman with im- ttglnation buoyant. Uuth had an active part in making a big rosy dream como true. Sho wus now not merely a passive agent. She wasn't economizing merely to make thc salary cover tho current expenses. Her task was really the vital one of the whole undertaking; she was accumulating capital. Whon you stop to think of It she was the brains of the business; 1 was only the machine. I dug the money out of the ground but that wouldn't have amounted to much if It had all gone for nothing except to keep the machine moving from day to day. The dollar she saved was worth more than a hundred dollars earned and spent again, lt was the only dollar which counted. They say a penny saved is a penny earned. To my mind a penny saved was worth to us at this time every cent Of a dollar. So Ruth was not only an active partner but there was another side to the game thnt appealed to hor. "The thing 1 like about our life down here," she said to me one night, "Is the chance It gives me to get something of myself into every single detail of the home." 1 didn't know what she meant because it seemed to me that was Just what she had always done. But she Bhook her head when I said so. "No," she said. "Not the way I can now." •'Well, you didn't have a servant und must huve done whatever was done," 1 said. "I didn't bave time to pick out the food fur the table," she said. "1 had to order il of tbe grocery man, 1 didn't have time to make as many of your clothes as I wanted. Why I didn't even have lime to plan." "If anyone had told me that a woman could du any more thun you then were doing, I should have laughed nt them," 1 saitl. "Vou und the boy weren't nil my own then," she said. "I had to waste a great deal of tlmo on things outside the house. Sometimes it used to make mo reel as though ymi were Just one of tbo neighbors, Billy." ! began to see what she meant. But lha certainly found now Just as much time if not more to spare on tho women aud babies all around us. "Tbey aren't neighbors," sho said. "They are friends." I suppose elm felt like that beeauso whut she did for them wasn't Just WOSt«d energy like nn evening at cards. But she went back uguin and again. as though It were a song, to tbls notion that our new home was all her own. "Vou may think me a pig, Hilly." ihe said. "But I liko It. I liku to pick out all myself, every single potato you and thc hoy eat; I like to pick out every leaf of lettuce, every apple. It makes me feel as though I was doing something for you." "Good land—" I said. But she wouldn't let me finish. "No, Billy," sho said. "You don't understand what all that moans to me— how it makes me a part of you and Dick as I never was beforo. And 1 like to think tbnt In everything you wear there's a stitch of mine right close to you. And that when you and the boy lie down al night I'm touching you because I mnde everything clean for you wltb my own bnnds." lt makes my throat grow lumpy even now when 1 remember the eager, half- nsliamed wny she looked up Into my eves as she said this. Lord, sometimes Bhe made me feel like a little child und other times she made me feel like a giant. But whichever wny she made me feel nt the moment, sin* always left me washing thai I bud in me every guod thing u mun can have so that I might bu half wuy worthy of her. Thore ure times when a fellow knows that as a man ho doesn't count for much us compared With any woman. Aud with such u woman us Uuth—well, (Jud knows 1 tried to do my best in Ihose days and havo tried to do that evor Blnce. but it makes me ache to think how little I've been able to givo her of nil sho deserves. In ber housework Uuth had developed a system tliat would have made a fortune fur uny man If applied in tho same degree to his business. 1 learned u lot from her. Ins load of going at her tasks In the haphazard fashion of most women or doing things just be- causo her grandmother nud her mother did tbem a certain way, Bhe used her head. I've already told how she did ber washing little by little evory day Instead of waiting fur Monday and then tearing herself all to pieces, and that's u fair example of ber method. When she was cooking breakfast and had a guod lire, she'd havo half her dinner on ut the sume time. Anything that was Just as good warmed up, she'd do then. She'd make bor stews and soups while walling for the biscuits lo hake and boil her rlco or make her eold puddings while we woro eating. Wben that stove was working in the morning you couldn't And a square Inch of it that wasn't working. As a result, she planned never lo spend over balf an hour on ber dinner at night and hy lho lime thc breakfast dishes were washed sho was through with her cooking until then. Sho usod hor head even in little things; she'd make one dish do the work of three. She never washed this dish until sho was through with it for good. And she'd llnd tbo timo al odd moments during her cooking to wash these dishes ns they came along. If she spilled anything on tho lloor she stopped right thon and there and cleaned it up, with tbe result that whon break- fust was served, the kitchen looked as shipshape as when she bogan. When she was busy, she was tho busiest woman you ever saw. Sbo worked wltb her head, both bands, and her feet. As a result Instead of llddllng around all day, when sho was through she was through. When she got up in tlie morning she knew exactly what she had to do for the day, just how she wus going to do it and just when she was going to do it. And you could bank that the things at night would be done, and be done just as she had planned. She thought ahead. That's a great thing to master in any business. In my own work, the plan I had out lined for myself I developed day by day. At the end of three months I found that even what little Italian I had then learned was a help to me. Thc mere fact that I was studying their language placed me on a better footing with my fellows. They seemed to receive it as a compliment and feel that I was taking a personal Interest in them as a race. My desire to practise my few phrases was always a letter of Introduction to a newcomer. I talked with them about every thing—where they came from, what made them come, what they did before they came, how long they worked and what pay they got in Italy, how they saved to Ret over here, how they se cured their jobs, what they hoped to do eventually, where they lived, how large their families were, how much it cost them to live and what they ate. I inquired as to what they liked and what they disliked about their work; what they considered fair and what unfair about the labor and the pay; what they liked and didn't like about the foreman. Often I couldn't get any opinion at all out of them on these subjects; often It wasn't honest and often It wasn't intelligent. But as with my other questioning when I sifted it all down and thought It over, I was surprised at how much information I did get. If I didn't learn facts which could be put into words, I was left with a very definite impression and a very wide general knowledge. In the meanwhile my note book was always busy. I kept jotting down names and addresses witb enough run ning comment to help mc to recall the men individually. I wasn't able to locate one out of ten of theso men later, hut the tenth mun wns worth all the trouble. As the winter advanced and the air grew frosty and the snow and Ice camo, the work in a good many ways was harder. And yet everything con sldercd I don't know but what I'd rather work outdoors at zero than at eighty-live. Except that my hands got numb and everything was more dllllcult to handle I didn't mind tho eold. Thero waa generally exorcise enough tt» koop tht blood moving. Wo had a variety of work boforo spring. After tbe subway Joh I shifted to a big house foundation and there met another group of skilled workmen from whom I learned much. The work was easier and the surroundings plon- santer if you can speak of pleasant surroundings nbout a hole In the ground. Tho soil was ensler to handle and wo went to no groat depth. Here, too, I met a now gang of laborers. I missed many familiar faces out of the old crowd and found some interesting new men. Rafferty hnd gono and I was sorry. I saw moro or leas of him, however, during the winter for he dropped around now and then on Sunday evenings. I don't think he ever forgot the Incident of the sower gas. I enjoyed, too, every hour In my night school. I found here a very large per cent, of foreigners and thoy were naturally of the more ambitious typo. I found 1 hud n great deal to learn even in lhe mutter of spreading mortar and using a trowel, lt was really fascinating work and In tho Instructor I made an Invaluable friend. Through him 1 was able to arrange my scattered fragment! of information Into larc- r*r groups. Llttlo by llttlo I told him something of my plan and ho was very much Interested In it. Ilo gave me muny valuable suggestions and later proved of snb.stantlnl help in mnre ways than one. CHAPTER XIII. I Become a Citizen As I said, there wero still many opportunities Which I didn't havo time to mprove. The three of us seemed to havo breathed in down here some spirit which loft us almost feverish In our desire to learn. Whether it was tho oppurtunity which bred the desire or the desire as expressed by all those newcomers, fresh from tbo shackles of their uld lives, which created lho opportunity, l leave to the students of such matters, All I know Is that we were offered the best In practical Information, such as the trade schools and tbe night high schools; the best In art, tho best In music, thc best In the drama, I am speaking always of the nowcomer — the emigrant. Sprinkled in witb theso was the cheaper element of the native-born, whether of foreign or of American descent, who spent Ihelr evenings on the sireet or at the cheap theatres or in the barrooms, This class despised tin* whole business. Incidentally theso were tbu men whu haunted the bread line, the Salvation Army barracks, und wero tho Ilrst to join in any public demonstration against the'rlch. The women, nol always so much by their own fault, were the typo which keeps the charitable ussociutions busy. I'm not saying that among these there were not often cases of sheer hard luck. Now and then sickness played the devil wllh a family and more often tho cussedness of some one member dragged down half a dozen Innocent ones with blm. but 1 do say that when misfortune did come lo this particular class they didn't buck up to it as Helen Bennington did or use such means us were al their disposal to pull out of it. They just caved In. EJven lu Iheir dally lives, when things were going well with them, they lost In the glitter and glare of the cily that, spark which my middle-class friends lost by stagnation, Beeauso tben* was no poetic romance left in their own lives, tbey despised It in the lives of others and laughted at it in art. Whatever went back into the past, Ihey looked upon scornfully as "ancient." They lived each day as it came, with a pride In being up-to-date. Ah a result, they preferred musical comedy of thc horse play kind lo real music; they preferred cheap melodrama to Shakespeare. They lived and breathed the spirit of the yellow Journals. I don't know what sort of an education It is the Italians come over here with, hut they wore a constant surprise to me in their appreciation of tho best in art. And it was genuine—it was simple. I've heard a good many Jokes about the foolishness of giving them a diet of Shakespeare and Beethoven, of Maeterlinck and Mascagnl, hut that sort of talk comes either from the outsiders or from the Great White Way crowd. When you've seen Italians not only crowd In to the free productions down here but have seen them put up good money to attend the best theatres; wben you've heard them whistle grand opera at their work and save hard earned dollars to spend on It down town; when you've seen them crowd the nrt museums on free days and spend a half dollar to look at some private exhibition of a fellow countryman's, you begin to think, If you're honest, that the laugh is on you. They made me feel ashamed not only because I was ignorant but because after I become more familiar with the works of the masters I was slower than they to appreciate them. In many cases I couldn't. I didn't flatter myself either that this was because of my superior frankness or up-to-dateness. I knew well enough that lt waa because of a lack In me and my ancestors. Scarcely a week passed when there wasn't something worth seeing or hearing presented to those people. It came either through a settlement house or through the generosity of some interested private patron. However It came, it was always through the medium of a class which until now had been only a name to me. This was the independently well-to-do Amerlcnn class—the Americans who hud partly made and partly Inherited their fortunes and had not yet come to misuse them, lt is a class still active in American life, running however more to thc professions than to business. Many of their family names have been fam iliar in history to succeeding generations since the early settlement of New England. Tbey were Intellectual leaders then nnd thoy are Intellectual lead ers now. If I eould with propriety I'd like to give hero a list of hnlf a dozen of those men and women who came, In time, to revive for me my hellef that after all there still is loft In this country the backbone of a worthy old stock, But they don't need any such trlvlnl tribute as I might glvo them. The thing lhat struck me at once about tbem was that they were still finding an outlet for tholr pioneer Instinct not only In their professions and their business, but In the Interest they took In the new pioneer. Shoulder to shoulder witb tho modern Pilgrims they wen* pushing forward their investigations In medicine, in science, In economics. They wore adapting old laws to now conditions; they wore developing the now West; thoy were the new thinkers and tho now politicians. 1 don't suppose thnt If I had lived for fifty yenrs under the old conditions I would have met one of thom. There wus no meeting ground for us, for we had nothing In common. I couldn't possibly Interest thom and I'm suro I was too busy with my own troubles to lake nny interest In them even If I hud known of their existence. Even down here I resented ut flrst their presence as nn Intrusion. Whenever I met them I wns Inclined to piny the ead and there's no bigger cad on the face of the earth than a working- man Who Is beginning to feel bis oats. Hut as 1 watched them and saw how inmost thoy were and how really valuable their efforts were I was able to llstingulsh them from still another irowd who flaunted Ulttlr silly charities In the newspnpers. Bul these other let men and women were nf differ- t ijillbro; they wore tho ones who established pure milk stations, who encouraged the young men of real talent lil.e Giuseppe, and who headed all tho ronl work for good done duwn hero. Tliey came Into my lifo when 1 needed them; when perhaps 1 was swinging too far in my belief that tho emigrant was the only force for progresy in uur nation. 1 know they chocked me in some wild thinking in which 1 w-is beginning to indulge. I Iind 1 have been wandering a littio. Hut what we thought counted for as much towards tbe goal as what we did and oven if the thinking Is only that nl' one man—and an ordinary man at tlmt—why, so for that matter was th- whole venture. I want to say again thai all I'm trying to do Is to put down as well as 1 can remember and us well as I um able, my own acts and thoughts and nothing but my own. Of course that means Uuth's and Dick's luo as far as I understood thom, for they were a part of my own. I don't want whut I write to he taken as the report of an investigation but just as Uie diary uf ono man's experience. If I had had tho tlmo I could have seen at least two of Shakespeare's plays—presented by amateurs, to bo suro, but amateurs with talent and enthusiasm and guiiled by professionals. I could have heard at least a half dozen -.•.end readers read from the more modern classics. 1 could have listened to us many concerts by musicians of good standing, I could have heard lectures on a dozen subjects of vital interest. Then there were entertnininenls designed confessedly tu en ter la In. in addition to these thero were many more lectures in lho city itself open froo to the public and which I now for lbo first time learned about. There was one series in particular which was addressed nine a week by men of international renown. It was a liberal education In Itself. Many of my neighbors attended. (To be continued.) ASIA THE HOME OF PROVERBS Asia Is the continent of proverbs, lt has well heen said thai n proverb Is oue man's wil ami all men's wisdom. Over on lho other side of lbo world lu Indln, you meet wilh muny epigrammatic sayings, and one soon comes to realize tho great Inclination of the mind to Ihlnk and speak In the groove uf proverbs. The Hindi dohn is a strange thing, lis linos are rhymed, und the rhymed couplet has lhe balanced form and condensed message of tho poetry of Alexander I'ope. Hindi poetry Is usually printed without separating words, and as a result the reader may often make many plays on words, a performance Ihe Indian mind takes do light In. Indeed, the more possible meanings to bo gotten out of a liltle two-lined proverb the bettor. It Is a beauty and hot a defect to havo a plural meaning or be able to be twisted and turned by a new arrangement of the letters and words into a proverb of totally new moaning. Tbe epigram Is on every man's lips. We are continually being told "that the little pot soon boils"; "Flint is cold, but It contains fire"; "Prayer Is tho pillar of piety"; "It takes time to be successful, but no time to lie ruined"; "Do your work and let the curs bark"; "Threo men can keop a secret—when two of them are dead," etc. In a country where the great percentage is illiterate, motto cards have not yet achieved their American popularity; but every Indian is himself a travelling motto card. The older the saying the better. Tennyson has real Ized this ln his description of the proverb: ' Jewels Ave words long That on the strotch'd finger of all Time Spnrklo forever. MOSES MAY HAVE BEEN AN ELECTRICIAN That electricity must have been known to the ancients has been many times asserted, but now comes forward an electrician in Munich—Mr. Studel- mann—who has lieen in times past an archaeologist, to assert that he found In Egypt, in burled walls, indications denoting the use of electric lamps. He claims that Moses brought electricity from Egypt and that there are Biblical paragraphs which will bear him out In his stntements that lightning rods were In use in the temple of Jerusalem Stadelmaun believes that thc serpent of bronze of Moses was nothing moro or less than an ordinary lightning rod such as Is in use today. Moses may yet be known in history as tho "electrician," Instead of the "law-giver." AGAIN THE SLOT-MACHINE The intej in-biin trolley cars about l.os Angeles aro equipped with a new de vice that does away with Iho newsagent and saves a largo amount In salaries. It consists of a metal container, which holds a number of copies of each of the morning papers, as well as one periodical. These papers can he secured by dropping the price In tho slut and pressing a lover. As the prices vary from ono cent lo tlve. a different slot Is usod for each compartment. The machine rejecls lightweight and worn coins, which run through tho mechanism and are relumed to Ihe depositor. THE ANCIENT ART OF MAP* MAKING Map-making Is very old, and has boon practised by Die most primitive peoples for many ages. Uud*- scrnlehes un many rocks In South America are now Interpreted as maps, Kast Greenland natives carve maps uut of wood; American Indians make map- skclchcs on birch nnd othor barks; the Marshall Islanders charted the sailing routes along their coasts long before they knew of tho white man; the desert nomad sketches maps In the sand to illustrate his wanderings, and nearly evory primitive tribe to-day makes maps to show mules to hunting- grounds, animal paths, fisheries, fords, etc. Thoy know as well ns wo tlo that maps aro practically a human necessity; bul we know further that a good map often places before our eyes an amount nf accurate geographical Information thnt might tnkc many months to dig out of books. Wo may cite a map of Africa, new over twonly yenrs old, the largest of lhat continent produced up to BtflO. Hermann llubc- nlcht, the compiler, ransacked tho literature of African exploration to Iind out what each traveller wrote about the nature of tbe regiuns along his route; and the map showed those routes, and marked ulong them thu forest, grassy, sandy, or tillable stretches, the water resources, native settlements, and much other Information gleaned by pioneer explorers. The map was u lime-saver for students, a tinu epitome of some phases of tbe work done by many mon over a long series of years. The leading geographers uso tho perfected map of to-day as much as they do books, and often more. Dr. Hermann Wagner, for example, lias said tliat maps wore his largesl dependence in lhe production of his great Lehrbuch der Geographic. Hut though map-making is very old, lhe kinds of maps most useful now have nut very long been made, The aliases uf a century ago did net con- taln a tithe of the. information now expressed on atlas-sheets. Twu generations ago lhe maps used in European schools gave little more tliau a fow geographical outlines, such as coasts, political boundaries, rivers, aud place names; sometimes a few scrnlehes lo represent mountains, hut not always, it was only sixty-throe years ago lhat Em 11 Sydow published in Germany the flrst edition of his school atlas, Iu Which he Introduced Lhe revolutionary Idea tbat school limps should leii children something more of geography tlmn lhe positions of cousts, waters, towns and boundaries. Maps should picture as well tbc mountains, valleys, and plains, Cartographic expression should be given to the land forms, and maps should help the teacher to show what the surface of Ihe oni'th Is really like. This fundamental Idea Ims ever since been steadily developing, Matt symbolism has wonderfully grown, (ill It Ih to-day fully adequate far the graphic expression of a large variety of facts; ami, host of all, the -European map- makers, by Iheir use of contours of elevation, hachuros, colors, ami light and shade effects, have so perfected methods of showing Ihe diverse forms of Ibe earth's surface lhat even on a small-scale map of the Swiss Alps, for example, we may see before us Ihe wonderful complex of high mountains, deep valleys, snow-tlelds, und glaciers. Wc may see the birth-place of lhe Rhine, whose glacial brooklets Issue from an Ice mass high up on the slopes; the little lake perched far above the valley in a small depression filled by tho melting ieo of the great Rhone glacier. These atlas-sheets are small, and nature is large; Imt the tine art of generalising land forms has been so perfected by European cartographers that, though a great many details must be omitted, still the essentials of form are preserved, so that he who knows how to road maps may easily Iind tbe essential truth In the map picture. Tho sclentitlc map, so faithfully depicting the manifold aspects of tbe earth, has helped us to an interesting discovery. Wo know now thut while the great object of goography Is to describe the earth's surface, lungauge alone Is lnsutllcient for this purpose. Only in the most general terms can speech draw a picture of the faco of tho earth. If wo go Into detail and try in words to glvo a complete description, the picture is vague and Ihe mind cannot fully grasp It. The goo- graphical description must always be associated with the map picture In ordor to Impress upon the mind a clear and orderly Idea of lhe various phase of Iho earth's surface. MAPS AND MAP-MAKING If we had before us a map of the world showing what Is known of Its surface forms and other geographical features, on a uniform scale so large lhat all essential detail should stand out for us lo rend, we might justly regard it us a monumental achievement, a blessing conferred upon ns by modern civilization. It would give a true and clear picture of our earth as far as we have studied Its nspects. With the hundreds of sheets drawn on the same map projection nnd scale, using lhe same system of colors and other symbols lo express facts, it would be easy lo compare every land surface with every other and to note all Ihelr similarities and contrasts. The map would bo a short cut to accurate geographical Information, mado roady for lhe use of alt peoples. We shall have such a map before a great many years. The leading nations are co-operating tu produco It. The work is advancing every day even in lands thut are remote, ln July this year plans were published In Germany showing tlmt thirteen contiguous sheets of the map. on the scale and projection selected, have been made by European governments of parts of Russian und Chinese Turkestan, Persia, and Afghanistan; twenty-two sheets of parts of ("hlna, Korea, French I iido-Chi nu. and Japan; and eight Sheets covering the Bahamas and lhe Greater Antilles. Theso are not thc llnlshed sheets, but are the basis upon which the rules adopted by thc International Conference In London In November, 1009, as to coloration, tho spelling of place names, and olher de- mils, will be expressed to make Ihem strictly conform with all Ihe other sheets In the great standard map of (he world. Frauce and Groat Britain are mapping tholr African colonies on the required scale. Dr. Henry Gannett, Geographer of the United States Geological Survey, has prepared a number of these shoots, embracing parts of our Eastern, Central, and Western States; and he was a prime mover In the convening of the London International Conference that at last placed thc project upon a practical basis. The Idea of a standard map of the world was first proposed by Prof. Al- brochl Penck at the International Geographical Congress, Bein, In 1891. He baity showed the advantages that would result If thc nations should cooperate In producing a world map on the comparatively largo scale of one. millionth (1:1.000.000), or IM statute miles to an Inch. Tho project was heartily approved by this and later congresses. Committees wore appointed lo promote (he movement, and Great Britain. Germany, and France began lo make maps on the required scale. Little practical progress, howovor, was made till afler Dr. Gannett reported that thu United Slates government could nut publish tho sheets he was preparing been use no agreement hud been reached as to tho color scheme and other essential details, No general plan had been adupted for the uniform production of those map-sheets. He therefore presented, through Dr. Day, of Washington, a recommendation to the international Geographical Con- gross at Geneva, in lHUS. to appoint a commission to work out a uniform plan for producing tho map. This plan waa prepared by lhe Geneva Congress, and it was decided to submit il to a conference of the map- making nations, which was accordingly convened by the British government in London, in November, 1900. The conference was completely -successful, its decisions were Una), and the map- makers of all nations were at last In a position to co-operate In currying out lho plan, This fortunate result involved mutual concessions, but the plan as perfected was heartily and unanimously adopted. Greenwich Is to ho the initial meridian.

IN THE YOUNG REPUBLIC No boy Is forced to work; but if he does not choose to Work, then he does not cat! lt occasionally takes hipi some days to realize lhat this is a fact and nol au abstract thoory with which ho Is confronted; bul ho is taught the fact by actual hunger, and then he goes to work. Thore are ample opportunities fur him to earn his own living, but the work is real and hard, and Is paid for in proportion to its value, each worker standing on his individual merits as shown by his skill and Industry; the hoys themselves insist on a course whicli develops and rewards Individual efficiency, Drones and Idlers are not tolerated; tbey are allowed to quit work if they wish, and if they work badly they are discharged; and then they find that starvation Is not very far distant. Newcomers often fall to understand just what Is ahead of them; but it takes them only a vory few days to learn. Thc education Is of thc most practical kind for boys nnd girls alike; each, when he or she leaves the He- public, can begin a wage-earning career without the smallest break. In addition, the ones with special aptitudes can train themselves for all kinds of special careers; and all alike are turned out with special training In the applied principles of democratic citizenship of tho most healthy type.

These consist of Kenis of fabulous value; rubies, diamond.-*, sapphires, emeralds, clustered together in masses of exquisite workmanship. Tin* array of jeweled crowns is he- wild* ring in number nnd brilliancy. Among the many Tsardoms of the ruler of all the Russlas are those of Kazan. Astrakan. Poland, Siberia, and Kherson; and the crowns of these iinec sep- araie kingdoms now repose In the Russian Treasury. The crown of Crimea Is u plain gold circlet—a modest one In comparison with ihe others. The crown of Vladimir Monomacluis is of special Interest, as that monarch married the daughter of the Knglish Kim; Harold, succeeding to the throne of Kieff in 1118. It is of rare Kohl filigree work on sable surmounted by a plain crown set witb pearls.

The crown of Michael Romanoff, the founder of (he Imperial House, is surrounded by ti'O procloui stm and surmounted by a big emerald. The coronet of llie present Km press is remarkable chiefly for Hi* quality of its jewels, being bedecked with one hundred of the purest p-iii-* ever brought together In a single ornament and said to be umqiialed by any similar ornament anywhere. The crown <>f tin- present Emporor is dome-shaped like n patriarchal mitre. Its chief g *m Is an Immense ruby supporting n cross of five very largo diamonds, while Us base is ublazo with precious Stoltcs. It is a curious fact lhat when, at lhe coronation of Nicholas 11.. the Tsar, with great dignity nnd deliberation, placed the Crown of I'eler lho Great upon his head, u tilled slightly and appeared loo large, an omen readily seized Upon by nugurs of evil. The royal orb Is dccorateil with diamonds set in two bands encircling It nt right angles, on its upper surface Is n large sapphire surtnounled by a diamond cross, while lo the orthodox Itusslan not the least precious of metals Is what Is Imagined to bo a piece or the true cross of Ohrlsl.

"1 am Dr. Alardice," he announced; "and 1 have come to bring you down to Stanford with me." These were words to take a maiden's breath away; especially from one so Irresistible us was he that uttered them; but Rose, bravely: "By main force, this very minute?" Dr. Alardice kept a straight face. "My orders from the head of the department," he said gravely, stepping Into the hallway. "Bring her wilh you, hy main force, If necessary!" "1 cun hear him saying It," Bald Rose. "I can see myself doing It," said Dr. Alardice. "What?" "Carrying out my Instructions to the letter." Rose took a rtep towards thc drawing-room, but that would be retreating, and, besides, Alice wns there. Men of brains not a few came to sec Miss Budd, and every one of Ihem made much of her, Invariably treating her as an Intellectual equal, almost ns If she were a man; but. Invariably, they made love to Miss Budd's chum, treating her as—well, ns If she were only a woman. Not a man of them ever forgot lo pay to Mlsa Day the attentions. courtesies, gallantries, or what you will, due from brains to beauty, but not, It seems, from brains tu brains; for sooner or Inter Rose found these self-same gentlemen, every one, strangely Innt tentlvc, discourteous, ungallant—or fancied she did—and the lower the poor girl drew her rebellious auburn hair across her magnlllcent brow, thc more feminine without und within sho tried to mnke herself, the more mannerless these boors and blind. With delight they would listen to her, nud look at Alice; all cars for the one; til eyes for tho other. Thut Is why Rose, brnve tass, now slood her ground, In no humor for Ignominious flight Into the drnwlng-room. But the hostess reckoned without one of her guests.

Miss Budd looked as If she hud already flunked. "It does seem as if we had known Dr. Alardice a. quarter of a century; doesn't It, Rosebud?" Thus Alice, coming to her friend's rescue. "Rosebud," echoed Dr. Alardice, inadvertently. Then, he went on with his quiz. "Well, Miss Budd," said he, "supposing wo blindfold you; turn thc lights low; go out of the room for ten minutes or so, to give you u chance to collect your senses; then come in, one ut a time, and see if you can tell which of us has touched you. Sit with your hands on your knees, palms upward. Don't move a finger. Call the name aloud; so that those outside cun hear you." Seeing that thero was no getting out of it. Rose agreed to everything and requested Alice to blindfold her; then, ln turn, her brother and her mother. None would do it, all being of the opinion that Dr. Alardice was conducting the experiment. So, in the end, he did the blindfolding, and did it thoroughly, for thoroughness sake, taking his time ubout it. He was the lust to leave the room. To Rose, alone, vainly trying to compose her thoughts, the ten minutes seemed so many hours. At last, however, she heard thc unmistakable rustle of taffeta, caught a whiff of a fashionable cologne—a bot- lleful of whieh she hud that very duy presented to a dear friend—and felt a soft cheek—nothing in the ear—laid uguinst hers. "Alice!" she shouted. Again, tho rustle of taffeta, then silence for tho time It takes a woman's heart to beat two hundred; then, a heavy footfall, the squeak of a man's shoes; odor of tobacco, very faint; a hand (right; no ring) on her right hand. Her knees trembled; she drew her hand away—which wus against tho rule—and. In a voice neither very loud nor scientific nor steady, cried: "Dr, Alardice!" Tho squeak died away. All was still. The swish-swish of skirts; no taffeta; no perfume; a hand (the left; ring on third finger) pressed lightly on her left hand. "Mother!" Silence. A man's step, quick, no squeak; odor of tobacco, very strong; lips (no moustache, no beard) ever so Indifferently on forehead. Rose did not call the name aloud she raised her hands, clasped them about the man's neck, and kissed him audibly on the mouth. A mar of laughter wont up. The subject tore the bandage from her eyes. A smooth •faced stranger, In her brother's smoklng-Jackel, stood beforo her. Buddy, In Dr. Alardlce's frock, oat, and Alloc, In Mrs. Budd's black cashmere, were dancing up nnd down ln tho centre of tho room; while her mother, in Alice's blue silk gown and taffeta petticoat, was smiling at her from the doorway. All at once, something In tho stranger's eyes struck Rose as familiar. She sprang to her feet. "Dr. Alardice!" she exclaimed, "what have you done with your beard? How dare you! You had no right to do It! I just hate you!" "You did It yourself!" shrieked Alice, and doubled up. "You did It yourself —wo all saw you—you who have sworn by all the saints In tho calendar never to kiss a man save Buddy and tho one you were going to " "Miss Budd," declared Dr. Alardice, "a bachelor has, It seems to me, a perfect right to do ns ho pleases with his own beard; shnve It off In the interest of sclenco, or what not." "You had no right to!" she blazed, on the verge of tears. "Moreover," ho continued, Imperturb- nbly, "you do not like boards." "Not like—I—who told you— Alice?" 'No; yourself," I? i never " Oh, yes, you did, Miss Budd, I assure you. Willie 1 wus chatting Willi your mother, Miss Day whlspurud lo you, 'llow handsome ho Is! What a lovely board!' und you whispered buck, 'Yos, but 1 hate beards!' " Rose smiled In spite of herself, but she blinked her eyes as if Ihu light hurt Ihem. Alien preletidod not Lo hour. Buddy rubbed his bunds together gleefully. Tho mother rustled aorOSB tho room, and kissed her daughter passionately, Dr. Alardice discreetly turned uwuy. "A most successful experiment/' ho announced, as If lo a class in psychology, addressing no one in particular, Everybody laughed—the demure widow In the blue silk, a little wickedly; the wicked maid In the black cashmere, somewhat demurely; the youth In the frock-coat three sizes toe big for him, With mock dlgnlly, iih It were, pedu- goglcully; tbe professor in (he smok- Ing-Jucket three sizes loo smnll for blm, boisterously, like a schoolboy.

"ll wiih all In lhe Interest of Hclenoe." Thus tho psychologist. "What solonco?" asked Alice, as if she were professor, he pupil. Dr. Alardice Dunked; at least, he mnde no answer. Alice seemed to take a born qulzzer'H delight In his discomfiture. To tlic rescue, with tray and glasses, the ladles of the house. "The BUCCOSB of science," tousled Alice. Mrs. Budd smiled, und made believe to drink. Her son frowned, und openly refused lo honor the toast. Her daughter rulsed a trembling glass to lips that trembled. The scientist, looking at her, held his gluss aloft, then drained It at a breath, Alice look ii sip thut set her coughing violently. Dr. Alardice was all concern; und from that on, Miss Day, as wus her wonl, took charge of Miss Budd's guest, the man apparently nothing loath. First, she sat at the piano, improvls ing dreamy music, he leaning over her attentively. Next, she noticed the ris Ing moon, and together they went to the window to admire thc beauty of the night. At the other end of the room sat the Budds, discussing thc pair In low tones, eyeing them askance. Finally. Rose: "1 guess he'll propose to her tomorrow, or the next duy—they all do." And then she sighed. "If he does, she'll tuke him," snap- ped Buddy; und then, Instead of sighing, he said Homethlng under hts breath. "She won't get the chance," declared Mrs. Budd. "He's not like the others." And then she sighed twice. "Oh, won't she!" cried thc son. "Oh, isn't he!" cried the daughter. Said the mother: "What a pair of geese you aro!" The geese cackled; then Buddy, like a veritable gosling: "What Is Mother Gocso sighing about?" Mrs. Budd kept silence; did not seem to hear. "What " repeated Buddy. Bose pinched him. "My children," said Mrs. Budd, "Mother Goose thinks It sad to live alone." "What's the joke over there?" called Alice from the window, lt was evident that, low as It had been, she had heard thc cackle, and now had it In mind. "Oh, a joke grown very serious with age. 1 was Just telling my babies what a pair of geese I thought them." "And I," said Alice, coming forward, "was Just telling Dr. Alardice what an owl Rose Is." At the mention of his name. Dr. Alardice, who was still admiring thc moon, turned round and joined the group. "Come, Goosey," said Alice, "and see me home." Buddy hastened to obey. Every one stood up. Rose looked at her mother, as much as to sny: "Sho hns refused him already." The mother returned the look with, "He hasn't asked her." Alice and her escort mado their adleux. Dr. Alardice lingered, Ignoring Rose, paying marked attention to her mother. "Science is going to rob you, Mrs. Budd, I'm afraid," he said with much tenderness. "Science?" questioned Mrs. Budd, Innocently. "My orders were not to come back to Htanford without Miss Budd. By the wny, how would you liko to live In Palo Alto?" "Anywhere, with my girl; nowhere wil bout her." "Then, you will go with us, won't you?" he Invited. "You seem to take for granted, Dr. Alardice, that I am going," Miss itndd put In. This wns met with: "I am acting under orders that will not be disobeyed." "Whose?" asked Mrs. Budd from the doorway. "My head's," answered Dr. Alardice. "Your head's," doubted Mrs. Budd, and vanished. Miss Budd retreated to tho window and looked out. Dr. Alardice pursued manfully, nnd, "You will go to Stanford with me?" he nsked. not ns one acting under orders. "Where's mother gone, I wonder?" answered Rose, looking around In alnrm. "She could go with us," the mon assured her. "Yes," the womnn ncquiesced, "I think mother would like It—she is proud of ine; but," she objected, "I tear I um a poor psychologist nfler ull; u goose, nut. a it owl." "Must you necessarily go In the capacity of professor?" "in what otber capacity, pray?" "Yuu mnke au excellent -subject," "if you imagine, Dr, Alnrdlce, that I'm over going to be a subject for you again, you'ro very much mistaken," Dr. Alnrdlce mulled. "Vou had no business to do It," she, flared. "What, to shave my own beard?" "You know very well 1 don't meun that." "But ynu did It yourself." "You did It back, nnd you hud no right to. I wus blind?" "Well, so wus I. They say that——" "I don't want to bear what Ihey say. Ynu' hud so right to; you made me break my vow," "Oh, no; 1 didn't. I wouldn't for Ihe world bave you break it. on the contrary, 1 urn going to tlo everything in my power to make you keep it. Como, vow It all over lo me again." About nit hour afterward, Ibe demure little widow camo clattering through the hall, to Inquire: "Have you youug | pie made up your minds yot 10 go down to Stanford together?" "We have," announced one of llteiii. "Wbo (old you? Whal's keeping Buddy, I wonder? He generally gets back lu live minutes." Titus (be other. "Alice," answered Mrs. Itndd.

And even suppose you cun, since tills is n cold-blooded world; then will you? It is not probable you will, uuIchh you positively must; for even at IiIh worst, Towser Is a good comrade. He may huve turned out to be wholly undeHlr- ublc, an abomination In every essential as watchdog, companion or hunting dog. But he Is still u good fellow; you cannot deny thut. If you uro susceptible to loyalty und good humor you cannod rid yourself of him. UP THE COAST TO ALASKA For a thousand miles northwestward from Seattle your steamer traverses un almost unbroken chain of inland channels and harbors, sheltered from the open ocean by a long lino of Islands. First it Is Puget Sound und the Straits of Juun de Fuea; then the British Colum blan waters; und then, after some hundreds of miles, you cross the inter national boundary and enter south eastern Alaska. Everywhere the walls of these chunnels 'and straits und sounds are steep und high, nnd generally thoy are clothed to the timber- line with forest growth, thin und scattering in the exposed places, but dense and heavy in some of tbc rep-rooston*, und almost always enough to cover the dull gray and brown of the rocks. Now und then you pass a snowy peak, or catch a distant glimpse of the high ranges—splendid battlements of white between the blue nnd the green. If the sun shines, It is gloriously beautiful. If It doesn't, tbc world Is a study In gray—gray sky above and gray water below, with gray Islands und headlands and mountains coming out of the gray mist before you, drifting slowly by, and vanishing Into the gray void astern. By and by your vessel swings out through a narrow rocky portal, and suddenly you are on the open sea. That long, long wall of Islands that has stood between you and the ocean has come to nn end at lust, and to port lies the whole Pacific, while to starboard is one of the most cruel coasts in the world a wild confusion of rocks, snow-fields, forests, marshes. Jagged mountains. The greatest glaciers on thc globe lie along this shore, and somo of them llow straight down Into the sea, so that the breakers wash the feet of the blue ice-cliffs. Three hundred miles of this sort of thing, and then a long, narrow island thrusts itself some twenty miles out into the ocean, ut right angles with the coast, ending In the great cathedrla-like mass of Cape St. Ellas, with the Pinnacle Rock standing guard in front. You swing round it, and before you Ho thc low, fiat shores of that notorious sheet of water, Controller Bay, with steep, wooded hills on one side, a huge glacier on the other, and In the background the white wall of the Chugach Mountains. The nearest wharf nt which a steamer can He up is at Cordova, on an arm of Prince William Sound, sixty miles nway as the aeroplane files und a hundred and twenty by aea; but ten mites northwestward from thc entrance of tbe bay Is tho little town of Katalla, with an open roadstead In front nnd Bagged Mountain behind. If the sen Is rough, your steamer makes no attempt to land you, but carries you on to Cordova, if lt Is calm, she creeps tn as close to the town us she dares and drops unchor, nnd presently a large gasoline launch comes out and tnkes you ashore. FOR AND AGAINST THE OOQ Is it worth while to keep a dog? A pet dog, mind you. Thnt Is certainly a large question. A million of people in this country are debating It all the time. And tho problem hns many perplexing ramifications. How will the neighbors like It? What will Aunt Delia say? How much will thc Janitor want? To enumerate some of the objections: He will need attention; result, time wasted. He will compel more attention; more time wasted, Why, the time one will devote to thc family dog. if employed in reading tho proper books, would soon give one n liberal education. Then he may get sick. Result, more toss of time, some trouble, and possibly some expense. Or he Is nlmost sure to get lost onre In a while. Mnre expense: It Ih seldom anyone ever returns n lost doc and forgets to ask about tho reward. Then there aro MAINLY ABOUT DOQS Tuke dogs, Millions of dogs, living off mankind; un economic burden. Yukon husky to Mexican chihuahua, Huston bull to just plain dog; useful or not, us the case may be, every mother's son of them is un encumbrunce to somebody. Yet they're worth a lot of money; Just try to buy one! Hasn't each und every one of us at some tlmo or other "losl" one we wouldn't huve taken five hundred dollars for? There is a big difference In dogs, except in one particular: every dog Is a professional good fellow—to somebody. That Is how he gets on. Otherwise a very considerable percentage of him would go to the dog pound to be short- circuited with a chloroform needle. But, as has been said, ho makes himself agreeable—very agreeable; In fact, he Is the one great optimist. That alone suves him, since man is the one great pessimist und needs a counterbalance on the other end of tho plank. All kinds of dogs there are, and all kinds of lives they lead. Of them all, tho hunting dog lives the best, for his own Bood. The alcd dog is perhaps the most useful, although the farm dog runs him a close second. The aristocratic dog is thc most to be pitied. A dog's lif« they all lead. Who knows but lt may sometimes come close to being an Ideal life at that. For what is lifo without service, and what does a dog do but serve—somebody? Docs the horse serve? No, ho slaves. Towser alone serves man. Economically, he Is a failure, but nothing can get his job. TURKISH WOMEN AT THE THEATRE A notico which is to be seen in one of the theatres of Constantinople effectively solves thc problem of people at the back obtaining a clear view and is very much more radical than the polite request made in English and French theatres that ladies should not mar the view of the stage with huge hats. The notice reads: "In order to ren der the performance agreeable to all those present, the management of the theatre has decided that the spectators ot the flrst three rows should recline, those of the next three rows be on their knees and all the others be stand Ing up. In that way everybody will be able to enjoy the play." This notice Is lollowed by a suggestion implying the Turkish woman's lack of romance: "lt is strictly forbidden to laugh, for it Is a tragedy that is being performed." get us started out, bul ho puis us In go-d humor as well.

OSTRICH FARMING Visitors to the ostrich furm ut Kast I'nsudenu, ('ul., watch tho birds swallow an orungo which slowly and visibly makes Its wuy down tbe long neck; Ihey buy an egg or a plume and gu uwuy firm In the belief that they huve seen tin* farm. As a matter of fact not om- visitor in lit.OUO got** out to the real farm, which is several miles buck In tho country und to wblcb lourlsls are not admitted, Oslrlrh farming is now being curried on successfully In several parts of ihe Southwestern states, but ll came near being nipped in thu bud ut ihu start. When Cawston, the first man to attempt the work, started for South Africa to Import sume oBtrlcbes about twenty years ago the project seemed oasy of execution. Uu bought the birds lie wanted at Cape Town, chartered a vessel and put them aboard. Just when the ship was ready to leave the Cape Town city fathers got wind uf It and hurriedly fixed up a law forbidding the exportation of ostriches. They wanted to keep the Industry (or themselves, Cawston had thirty of the birds and wuh in u dilemma. It Is said that he persuaded the captain, to sail just us the bill was signed und thut the vessel got out of port Just In time to avoid being held up for an export duty of $600 apiece for the ostriches. All but six of the birds died on the voyage. Theso six huve all gone th* wuy of their fathers now, but tbeir progeny is numerous and healthy. The ostriches in Cape Colony forage for themselves, each bird having i range of twenty acres of veldt. It Is said that muny of them go .or years without touching water. Tho California farm Is almost like a great park, where ferns and Mowers sept_> i the runs for the birds. It wu -a yeur or two beforo they begun to breed over here. They ure sensitive to change, apparently, for even now if a pair is moved from one cage to .in- other It win not breed that season. Young birds of both sexes are out in the Boms enclosure, and soon display pronounced likes nml dlsIQusn Finally, of their own accord, each one a_DOMB a single mate to whom to be B_t__U for life. When this mating has taken place the pairs ure placed In ssgacftta pens or runs. There are 188 OBtSfaBM at the Pasadena show farm, bur. several hundred others are !*:>-pt for breeding purposes out on the main farm. The lutter have a Ufl-acre oJ&lfis ranch, whereas only about eight acres OT& available fur those .it Pasadena. They breed well, not less than 14") chicks being hatched every year. Often there are fourteen eggs to the nest, eggs weighing three pounds each. Contrary to general belief. ostrich eggs are palatable. Usually they .in served us an omelette, and now ind then at the Pasadena hotels .i loaen ir more people will ait down to Much i feast made from one egg for the party. TOWSER—GOOD OLD 8P0RT Towser does not grumble. He may shiver and whine when thc camp Is wet and the fire won't hum and home seems Irretrievably lost to him. But he does not kick. For no other reason he makes a better camping comrade than n whole lot of men do. Why, If you want a lesson In taking hard luck philosophically. Just look at him, at the end of a rainy dny In the woods or mountains. Curls up and makes the best of it. doesn't he? Ite cun teach you a few things about woodcraft, too—yes, and nbout sportsmanship. That muy seem far-fetched, but think lt over. Allowing for his limitations, he Is apt to surprise you. Ho readily learns thc amenities of lhe camp, keeps from under foot, waits his turn at meal-time, and at getting Into the canoe. And ho ts pretty sure to stay with you when you can't find camp, even If ho knows very well how to get there—as ho generally does. (live him a chance and likely as not he'll lead you ln. We owe u lot to Towser, he Is such nn outdoor enthusiast. Climbing a lad der Is one of tho most difficult things for him to do. He hates to try It makes a great to-do about it If It Is put up to him. Rut plnce outdoor liberty ot the top of the ladder and see how quickly he will scale It once he suspects what Is up there. He always is ready to start out—genernlly ready with an urgent Invitation. "Come on!' snys he. "Cut loose for a while. This wny, this wny. Oof! hut It's good to lope a little for n change. This wny." And coining back to you. wllh n "Roo- w-w-oo-w-w-oo-w!" he voices his pleasure at being off. Nol only does he HIGH HONORS POR WOMEN Once more women have rrtarapned at the Royal Academy. For the second time in three years the gold medal has been won by a female student, while of the fourteen pr.2es offered no less thun ten bar-* '-.e^n carried off by women. In presenting these and Congratulating Miss Margaret Wil- llums on her brilliant achievement, the president of the Royal Academy paid high tribute to the perseverance and the tnient of women ortHta; but o^ain, we ask. why is It not recognized by the Royal Academy of Arts In the obvious wny? In every way women show their fitness to compete with men for the honor of admission to ftUodftCevbtp and to election among the forty, yet; still they stand without the gate. 80ME POISONOUS FLOWERS Many species of well-known snd much admired (lowers furnish the world with a great deal of Its poison. The laburnum, for instance, which the poets have loved to compare to a fountain of gold playing in the sunlight, Is one of the most poisonous flowers Imaginable. There is poison in every bit of It—flower, leaf, and seed. Even grnss growing beneat- it Is rendered poisonous by reason of Its proximity lo the beautiful, innocent- looking blossoms overhead. Such dainty und lovely blooms ns the narcissus, hayclnth. Jonquil, nnd snowdrop secrete the most deadly pot- sons, while the oxalls. the monk's-hood, nnd the fox-glove conceal noxious liquors powerful enough to destroy life In n short time. The list might be further extended by thc addition of certain ot the crocuses, the beautiful lady's-sllpper. the quaint "old Jack-ln-the-pulplt." and the prim little buttercup. The latter, despite Its Innocent appearance, is really one of the worst of the poisonous blooms. Even the cow Is aware of thia nnd carefully avoids it. The cousins of the buttercup, the peonies, the larkspurs, and the rest nil contain toxic liquids. Another source of deadly poison Is the oleander tree, while the bark of the superb catalpa tree contains any quantity of deadly doses.
