Tliey nre assuming new forms and in.olv- ing now factors and offiring new menaces to the system which since the days of 1'otor has held the Muscovite millions iu an Iron grip. Not only are the students and educated folks concerned in the revolutionary movement which is spreading in the soiitlieni districts of tho Kmpire in Europe, but the industrial population and even the peasants aro rising In fury aguinsi existing conditions. Hccently, Il is reported, 18,- 000 peasants in Poltava and Klnir- CZAK NICHOLAS II. kov arose in their might and sacked eighty estates. The army, too, is said to be infected with the growinj spirit of freedom and can no longor be depended on. Sonic of the Cossacks not long ago refused to obey ! orders against a mob, and it is said they had been on the point of revolt against M. Siphiguine, the Minister of the Interior, before he vvas murdered. Meanwhile rumors of administrative reform come from St. Petersburg, and it is even said, with a persistency that gives it special emphasis, that the Czar himself, alarmed over the present state of affairs, vvill Bhortly issue a rescript giving Russia a constitution similar to the scheme for administrative reform drawn up by the lute Oeneral Loris Melikoff when he vvas \"tlinislcr of tho Interior and which was sanctioned by the late Czar Alexander 11. Tho revolutionary movement is headed by a compact organization known as tho Sociul Democracy of Russia. Its program is practically that of evory .Socialist party in Europe. This organization is not to bo confounded vvith the anarchists, as the Socialists claim there is not nn anarchist in their ranks. The anarchists aro opposed to government in any form. They are opposed to parliaments, voting and what they call majority rule, whereas these aro things the Socialists arc fighting for. The socialist system of universal co-operation,\" based on the principlo of initiative government is their \ goal, but for the present they want those'popular institutions which all \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD civilised nations in tho world enjoy as a matter of course. Various causes tend to contribute to the unrest which, existing in Russia for many years, has now assumed an acute und serious phase. Iiv tho first place, the goi eminent of the country is an absolute hereditary monarchy, the entire legislative, executive and judicial powers of which are united in thc Czar, whoso will is law. The' administration of the Empire is intrusted to four great boards or councils, possessing separate functions, but each controlled by and supposed to be in touch vvith the sovereign. Those are the council of state, the ruling senate, the holy synod nnd the committee of Ministers. For many years this system of administration has been unpopular with the masses, who, taught.ljy German Socialists and other foreign agitators that their manhood rights GItAND DUKE MICIIAKL. were trampled upon and that they are Just, us much serfs now as bcforO eiiiiinclpntioH, have organized to a certain extent in a demand for not only a more liberal administration of locals 'affairs, but for, a national administration based upon the constitutions of such limited mona rchles as Prussia and England. .- i These are the political causes of thc existing discontent in Russia. The economic causes oro also many. For at least fivo years the harvests in Russia have been poor, and last year and in 1900 tho prevailing drought almost ruined the crops in the southeastern provinoes and In those across the Caucasian mountains. Thc result vvas destitution almost approaching a famine. To remedy the needs of the peasantry the Minister of the interior was given an appropriation from the imperial Exchequer. The distribution of relief COUNT LAIt.N-UOlSFl;. Recently Mini ter of Koi<*ii:n ..(fair-, wns placed in the hands of parochial oilicials, and it was asserted that instead of relieving the needy these officials appropriated most of the money to their own i.se. Another cause of popular discontent was the treatment of the students in the universities. They were called upon to do military duty, und, as thi.s interlcred vvith their studies, they protested. This finally led to riots in St. Petersburg and Moscow, when many were killed. The peasantry, from whom many of tho students spring, sympathise with tho latter and resent what they regard us the persecution of.the government. Russia has made great progiess during the hist decade or two. It has developed wonderfully along economical lines, and this development is bound to find its reflection in politics. People liave better chances of hearing what is going on in other lands nowadays. Try as the Government will, it cannot keep the population from contact with the current of life in the civilized world at large. In the first place, the number of common people who can read is getting larger every day, all the efforts of tho authorities to the contrary notwithstanding. In the second place, the increasing industrial resources of thc country throw larger and larger masses of the village population into the cities, where they quickly learn what ls going on in France, England or America, for instance. All this has the effect of widening the horizon of tho lower classes and opening their eyes to the fact that they are living under a regime which in other places has long since been discarded. Still moro important is .the experience' which the masses get with the police in tlieir struggle for better wages and more humane treatment at the' hands of thcir employers. The most significant feature of the situation is the open sympathy which hundreds of army officers evince for the new movement. Without assistance from this quarter, at least passive and moral, little could bo accomplished toward the desired end. With tho moral, if not the active, support of thc army anything is possible in the way of political reform. Most of the strength of tho Socialist organization is concentrated in the cities, being mainly embodied in ADMIRAL AIXXll.FF. Kcw RiiRilnti Minister of Foieigii Atfuiri. thc factory population, while the peifnntry is for the most part ton ignorant to appreciate tlie inclining of the agitation, except in a crude way. As the army is largely innde up of this element of the papulation there would be llttlo hope for the movement were It not for the fact that thoy aro lu constant contact with tho Socialists. The thing is in the air, so that tho soldiers, more especially tho oillcers, inibibo Hie loen from the very atmosphere that sin- rounds them. The underground press of tho new party Is also very active. Several of the larger factory towns print revolutionary papers. The pollco s-truin every nervo to discover tho printing olllces and occasionally succeed. In almost every case, however, 'a now establishment takes the place of the one detected within a few days after the raid. Tho leading underground organ is called The Spark and has been coming out regularly for sover- al months. Thus it is that there are many causes for the spirit of revolution now abroad in the Czar's dominions.

The latest fad for European travelers is touring in an automobile. It vvill surprise many people lo learn how comparatively cheaply this may bo done. Indeed any one vvho can afford to visit Europe on n pleasure Jaunt can afford to indulge in aii automobile tour, for it is by no means necessary to purchase a machine. One can bo chai-lercd us a yacht would be and at much less cost. ' A good serviceable touring car may be rented in London or Paris for about SHOO, possibly less, for a month or six weeks. This will include If the rentul be made in Paris the services of a chauffeur, though it vvill not pay the latler's board and lodging. As far as that question is concerned u gentleman and his wife, with their chauffeur, can tour Great Britain. Fiance, Germany, Austria and northern Italy at a total outlay not exceeding S25 a day. Tliis will include cost of motive \"power, and hotel and wayside expenses for three travelers. It is advisable lo make n. trial trip in the automobile one contemplates renting in order to test its comfort giving qualities, for of course comfort is tlie prime requisite on such a trip. Then again the strength of tho machine should be carefully proved. Henri Fourtiicr, the noted French racing chauffeur, advises the selection of an auto of gasoline motive power of not less than eight horsepower tunl vvith pneumatic tires. An entire repair 1 il, with a quantity of inner tubes for tires and pumps in good order, is a necessary part of the equipment. Your automobile chosen, the next -\"5S\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDg^^^f^ife^^rSJLiffer< AUTO TOURISTS IS HIANCC. question is the matter of apparel and baggage. For u-.spring trip fairly heavy clothing is advised, as the morning air is apt to be chill. A man will find topboots useful, while an automobile rug cut so as to fold and buckle around the waist and legs like overalls will be comfortable and convenient. The visor of the cap should 'bo low, so that the wind will not blovy It off, and the jacket ought to button up snugly and the gloves come over the sleeves to protect arms and chest from the breeze. A woman will be bothered greatly by dust in her hair unless she wears a silk hood covering it entirely. The hood sliould tic under the chin, as hatpins aro not of much use in an automobile. Her skirt ought to be of the golf or ra\ny day pattern, so as not to impede her movements while entering or leaving the car. Long gloves, a heavy veil and white automobile glasses are absolutely indispensable, as the woman who tries to do without them will speedily discover. The tourist will not suffer from hud roads as long as he confines himself to France, England, Holland or rtulgiiim, for the roads in any of theso countries are proverbially excellent. An important point to be considered is the fl!Lali_ty=_of_gasoliiie_ obtainable in the several countries. France and England are all right in this respect, but in Italy, Germany and Austria the supply should bo carefully tested. Still nnother very important point is the matter of customs duties. Usually a deposit is left, at thc border, redeemable if return be made at the port of entry. Of course this is a groat nuisance to the tourist and can bo obviated if one is fortunato enough to obtain a card from the Automobile Club of France, which will be recognized as a passport. The amount of ground one can cover on' u tour Is something astonishing, for a good automobile can make with ease '200 miles a day, including' slops for meals. The question of food need not bother the traveler, for on those roads which one is likely lo follow vvay.slde inns abound, and at some meals can be obtained at astonlslilngly low rates. lllcycl*. fur I ito.

The first quarter of the Hag has been exclusively reserved for them, and it is suggested that in it should bo placed the badge (as distinct from the arms) of the I'ominun.

One thing only impairs the keen satisfaction with which the few surviving lovers of heraldic symbolism will hail the East Anglian flng, and that, is that thc (lag is not of the ancient square shape, but is of the odious modern \"twice as long as hi'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD h\" form, so ilf adapted for heraldic display. On a modern (lag the cross of St. George js distorted in nbsurb fashion, the cross arms being longer than the shaft, whereas in thc ancient banner the arms were at least of equal length. A perfectly square flag is a handsome enough object on a stuff, as'may be seen in the case of the German Imperial banner, which preserves the' mediae'.al form, and the name \"banner,\" there correctly used, is a' finer sounding word than flag. \"The banner of East Anglia\" is a better phrase than 'Ithe East Anglian flag.\" -' ST.

St. Vincent, liKo all the islands in the group, is of volcanic origin and culminates in the vast crater of Morne y Gnrou, which in 18112 was the scene of a tremendous eruption.. L'illicns of tons of rock and earth were hurled high into the air. Part, as molten lava, flowed down into the sea; part, shivered into thin dust, was carried high up into the clouds. For three days the awful convulsions of nature continued.

The disturbance in 1812 seemed to pass under the bod of thc ocean to Venezuela. Caracas, thc capital of that country, was partly destroyed by nn earthquake, und 10,- 000 persons perished. With the exception of thc great Lisbon earthquake the eruption of the mighty mountain was tho most frightful cataclysm known to the world up to that time. 1 he whole configuration of iho island was changed. Thc, eastern end sank into thc sea, und where it stood theie is now a great depth of water. 'I he volcanic forces remained quiescent until 18S2, and then the warning rumble was heard again, but it was a false alarm, and the terrible scenes of tho early part of the century were not repented. Tho island of St. Vincent lies 100 miles west of Uarbadocs and between St. Lucia and the Grenadines. From north to south stretches a ridge of high, wooded hills, extending to thc sea on either side. The Soufrlere, whose eruption recently started, is in the northwest. It towers 3,000 feet.above the sea. Its crater is three miles in circumference and 500 feet deep. From the summit the view on all sides was .superb. Eastward, over tho. new crateV, formod in 1812, the Atlantic was visible through the hill ranges, westward to the bloo waters of the Caribbean and on the margin of the bay the quaint and curious town of Chateau.

It is that the Trades and Labor Council appoint a permanent entertainment committee to ariange for the holding ot weekly meetings in the auditorium in union hall. The programme should be varied, so as lo discuss different subjects. On one night have a lecture, say on law, by a competent lecturer; on another let ihe theme be liteiature, followed by an address on labor or socialism. The musicians could also hold fm Hi. Tho establishing of a working- men's club has also been suggested. UOYLE Unsatisfactory. . SI \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTON AND SUTHERLAND. Oral!

We imisl take things as we nnd them to-day. Over half of the people are scared at the woid \"social- Ism,\" and will cast their votes for anything rather than vote for a socialist. It seems to me that the work of today Is to geL the vv-orkcis, iby hook or by crook, to go In for independent political action, and provide thoni with a stepping stone fiom the old order to the new. That is the work of the P. P. P. The capitalists have their two parties, but two parties whose interests are identical must eventually evolve Into one, as they are now doing in the old countries, just as the P. P. P. will merge with the socialist party when its- work is done, and not before. There is nothing gained by calling each other hard names. We only provide shot and amusement for the- enemy. There is a broad flekl for both parties to work on, and there is no time fo- tho Donnjibrook-fair business. Where we cannot harmonize vve must agroe to differ.

The rest of the committee .being of little higher mental calibre than hlms'i-11, he was pormilted to pur- liiimself at the head of the socialist party. So oven the socialists are not devoid of humor.

To the Editor of Tin: Inhei-endknt: Sir,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI enclose a clipping from the African llevievv, which substantiates one of the complaints made in Canadian papers concerning the South African Constabulary, and yet it only deals with a very small portion of the clmf trouble, namely, thai relating to commissioned ofllcers. The same cause of complaint exists as regards non-commissioned oflicers. Friends or relatives of the troop commanding officer or of stuff oflleeis are promoted to become non-coms, without taking into account in the slightest degice their capability of pioperly filling such positions. A trooper who becomes a machine to do the officer's work, dirty or otherwise, and salutes and \"sirs\" him on every possible occasion, is reasonably sure of promotion, though he may be utterly unable to sit on a horso, or hit a twelve root target nt fifty yards. The inspector-genera] has lately Issued an order providing for examinations among tho troopers -with a view to piomotion lo u commission. H will be interesting to watch the experiment for the purpose of noting how impartially the order will bo carried out. W. S. KEITH. S. .4. Duner.i, Durban, Natal, S. A., .Tune \">, 1902.

Ho went to the wall after doing business for twenty years, owing his Now York creditors SL'.OOO. His falluro was known at S o'clock one morning, and by 9 It was generally understood that his wife's extravagance had precipitated thc crisis. An hour Inter everybody could remember Just how many nevv lints, dresses and cloaks she hnd had during the Inst year, to say nothing of hosiery, gloves and shoes. At 11 o'clock Mr. Mason hung himself in his woodshed, and at high noon tho body was discovered nnd public gossip had it that the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwidow had been left without a dollar nnd would have to take In washing. Had a voto been taken the ballot would have stood: Sorry for her, 000; glad on't, 3,000. Mrs. Mason had nlwnys been high headed and exclusive, and so her \"come down\" was exulted over\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnot for long, however.

She received-so many calls of sympathy that the front gate dropped from its hinges, nnd hnd any one dared to hint that she was high bended or extravagant there would have been a row. After a year of mourning half a dozen different men woro ready to give the widow a new name and to handle HBCODI/DS'T BLEEP tWLESS HOLDINO TH Al BEAU HAND. her cash. Sho had taken no vow against a:second marriage, and she looked more lovable than ever. The list of her admirers Included a widower, a.bachelor, a divorced lawyer and three young men, and their feet kept her front steps \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwarm. It looked as If she would hare to select one of the six to protect her from the other Ave, but she was In no hurry. One by one they dropped out until only the lawyer and the bachelor were left People said it was about an even thing between them, and the lawyer, whose naineQwas Braxton, must have argued the sanies way. He wouldn't have been a lawyer; If he bad been satisfied with nn even thing. When two men love the same woman, she ls kept plentifully, supplied With bouquets, books; music and all else that a lover may send, and never \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD a day passes tbat at least one does not long to die for her. Neither man can score an. advantage, and the case Is finally decided on Its merits. The bachelor, Mr. Dayton, argued It out that thla one would be, but the lawyer didn't. He began tp study the widow's character with a view to making a grand coup. She was not ambitious; she was not vain; she couldn't be taken In by flattery; she had Just one weak point, as tlie lawyer lover decided\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDshe was romantic and inclined to hero worship and ho would build up his case on that. It Isn't an easy, thing to be a hero to ^Wdejv^'hen^Mr^Jirnxton hndjleclded to take that llh^ti~e~\"tr6uble~\vns=to; find an occasion. Thero were no mad dogs running about the streets of Ross- vlllo, no raging 'conflagrations, uobody ' tumbling Into the river to be pulled out, no anything. lie walked around for a week or two looking for a hero opening, but as none enme he snt down to do some hard Judicial thinking. History does not state whether he got through at midnight or wns still working when the, sun of next morning shone on his face, but he had got his plan Just the snine. Thut forenoon ut 30 o'clock he pnsscd the Mason house on his way to the office. The widow, who was working among her pinks and hollyhocks, gnve lit ut coi'dlnl salutation. lie stopped to assure her of bin undying affection and, clutching the fence, cried out In pain and llnnlly fell to the ground. The widow cried out In nliirin, and when men cnnie on the run the stricken lawyer, wns borne Into her house and put to bed. It wns supposed until the doctor camo thnt It was a ense of henrt trouble, but lie found no symptoms. Then the patient feebly explained that It wns liifl.isiimntory rheumatism and that, he hnd felt it coming on for dnys. If the doctor had never heard of rhi-i'.iii.-itiKin knocking a .man down vvllli n crow llu ron the street, he wnsn't ass enough' to-shy so. The lawyer was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'Mc to pay a doctor's bill, and the doc-. Tor. wus there to make one. If there was niivtbim; aueer and mysterious about the case, be^had only to keep quiet nnd charge lt?\"In the bill. Thnn the news' went forth that Lawyer Braxton hud a bad attack of Inflammatory rheumatism, aud that as he couldn't be moved for weeks Mrs. Mason would be his nurse. A few people spoke of the trouble It would give her, but most of them said It vvas a romantic incident that must lead to a happy marriage. Inflammatory rheumatism Is a bad thing. A doctor should call on a patient ouce a duy at least, aud if he calls twice nothing can bo said except In his praise. In this case tho doctor didn't hesitate to call. He spoke of the danger to the lienrt, and ho changed medicines, gnve directions to thc Widow about diet and selected a male assistant. The lawyer's scheme worked\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthnt Is, the widow spoke words of sympathy nud hope, smoothed his fevered brow and with her owu bunds prepared tho gruels nnd drinks. The pntiont wns duly'grateful, and he got hold of thc smoothing hand us often and held^bn to it ns long ns he could. Eventually he couldn't go to sleep unless ho was holding thnt dear hnnd. It wns n matter of two weeks' before the doctor decided that tho hour of peril hud passed, nnd ns tho patient sat bolstered tip in bed be decided that the game was lu his hands. All he had to do vvas to slowly get better and ask tho widow to lay her hand In his for life. Ho took '''another three days, and then one evening after he had been read to for an hour be lovingly said: \"Viola, 1 feel that I must speak to you tonight.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD a \"Wasn't the gruel right?\" she asked In roply. -y \"This Is not a question of gruel, but of gratitude, uffcctiou and love.

The questlotr of water goes back much further than we stop; to think.

Caleb was so'well'pleased with the victory won for htm by Othneil that he could deny the bride nothing. \"And be gave her,\" the record ndds, \"the upper springs and the nether springs,\" more than she had asked, as fathers are apt to do with daughters whom they rear and love only to lose when the Inevitable bridegroom comes. , It Struck One. .

Is It?\" the big man asked, eying the. structure, with evident disfavor. \"N'o; It's wliere I stop.\" Faith answered quietly, 7 conscious that she blushed under bis frank gaze. It wns a graceless house, and she..wished,tbat her room was In front, so he could see the pot of red geraniums and the white curtain which helped out some.

In tho spring twilights which followed, these two workers met at first as If by chance and then as If by mutual attraction. Tbey,loitered on tbeir way homo frotn work, and tbe girl grew less lonely, while the man came to count on throwing aside his troubles tor the short time they walked together. Moreover, bo beenmo ambitious to make her Bin lie In return. Tbo rare occasions when he suggested that they pass beyond tbo tenement and sit on tbo benches In the promenade and watch the sunset on tbe water Faith marked as red letter days on her calendar. It did not occur to honest .big Luke Dolllver that danger lurked In these quiet moments. The mite of a woman who sat beside him looked happy\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbe liked to make her quiet face brighten.

Spring crept Into summer before they knew It, and tbey began to watch tha gay boat parties from the promenade. \"I never was out on the water ln my life,\" Faith said idly one evening. \"And I never really 'holidayed.' I don't call days off 'holidaying,' do you?\" \"My fix, too,\" answered Luke. \"Days off ain't the right kind. We'd ought to try our hand at the genuine article, eh?\" Faith's face kindled with gentle excitement \"There's, going to be an excursion down thc river next Saturday. I heard the girls talking about It at noon. They're going. There's to bo a band too\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"Then you an' rae'U go, mite of a one.\" Tlicre had been a slight hesitation, but lie could not disappoint the childish eagerness in her pule face. The delight ln Faith's eyes repajd blm for the Invitation und they sat later than usual that evening making tbeir plaus. Three dnys till Saturday! Faith lived In a quiver of anticipation. She sat up lute ench night furbishing' her clothes, eveu to the ribbons on her sailor hat, which really looked better when they were turned. Saturday's skies could hot have been bluer or the air cooler and sweeter. Fnith met the day With such a radiant, face that Luke Dolllver regarded her with astonished satisfaction. He had never noticed before how blue her eyes were In their white setting nor bow tbo elusive dimples played at hide and seek in her small rouud chin. \"You little mite of a one,\"Nh.e cried . gleefully, \"what you been doln' to yourself? I'd ought to have put on my white duck trousers an' boiled shirt!\" For reply Faith stood on tiptoe and pinned a tiny bunch of pinks on tho lapel of his coarse brown coat Her lingers shook with excitement, and an expression of pain \" contracted' 'Luke Dolliver's face.

A showily dressed woman between two men stared at tbcm and openly Jeered. She nudged her companion, and. the three burst Into loud laughter. \"Hold on, little mite of a one.

His half formed purpose to turn back vanished, . \"Lord have mercy, I love tbe Httla mite of n one!\" groaned the man In hi* heart . Hours later on the homeward trip he discovered that Faith loved him. They were sitting alone In a corner of tha dock; and he read it clearly In her pure upturned face.' To draw her close and hold her bo forever! How easy a thing It would be! And what did all tha rest of the world matter? He saw, how thin ber arm was where the lace fell away, the peak of her chin and the hollows In':her temples. How frail and slight; she was to earn , her bread alone! -The thought set-hli pulses beating mutinously.. \"Lord have raereyl Lord have mercy!\" his soul prayed for him. The steamer nenred Its landing place, and the shrill voiced throng crowded toward the gangplank; The man and girl were ln a zone of silence. Ho was eying the,, shore line, creeping nearer and nearer, with his lips set to grim lines. He was fighting a sharp battle. He had given himself till the steamer . touched shore to reach a decision.
