J. C. Hare in “Studies in Russia.” One of his fancies was that everyone he met, wherever he met them, must get out of shelr carriages and sledges, stand in the mud or on the ice and make him a bow. This was, of course, considered the greatest bore possible. One day there was a poor dancing master who was going to give some lessons, and he had nothing but a pair of very thin pumps on. He was dreadfully afraid of encountering the emperor, for it was the depth of winter, and the ground was covered with snow and ice; and he thought if he did his feet would certainly be frostbitten. As he went along he saw to his horror that the emperor was coming; there was no way of turn- ing aside; he must meet him. He de- termined at once that the only way was to pretend not to see the em- peror, and to turn the other way. Paul was not to be outwitted. He stopped at once and sent one of his escort to see why the dancing mas- ter had not oheyed his orders. The poor man pleaded not having seen the emperSr, and implored not to be forced to get out, on account of his thin shoes. The emperor would not hear of it. “Let him walk round and round my sledge,” he said, “and see if that will amuse him; and since he is too blind to see me, tell him that I desire for the future that he will alwayg, at all times, wear green shades over his eyes.” have several days.

I went up and down trails In Arizona which were almost perpen- dicular, and rough and stone-strewn, too; but there was little danger, for the bronco has, not the “ten pound,” but the “thousand pound” look! His nose is to the ground, his eyes, fast- ened on the trail, his footstep the most beautifully careful thing the mind can conceive. One foot, placed before another eases, preserves the balance, adjusts the weight. for ~an- other; and all this wonderful machin- ery of equipoise, stability and safety you feel working under you like a deli- cate machine. Yet this sage ploneer of the trail, with his meticulous care of you and himself, was just a wild range-pony, hunted down by a range rider, driven, coaxed or duped into a corral, broken, saddled, bridled and ridden all in one hour; wrenched out of his wildness, having his heart brok- en, and made into a slave while you would eat your breakfast. He is not a beauty; he is just a mongrel; but his legs and his feet are made of iron and steel, and the work he does over awful trails, in a rough and ragged country, strewn with stones and flints and boulders and lava and scrub, week after week, thonth after month and year after year, would spoil the legs of a thoroughbred in three days. —mGflbert Parker in Metropolitan Mag- azine.

Waugh, profes- sor of horticulture in Massachusetts agricultural college said: “In Germany one finds all kinds of cures. Every enterprising town has one. Often the ‘cure house’ is the finest public building in the city. A German talks of going to his cure as an American of going to his vacation. There are milk cures and mud cures, mountain cures and’surf cures, but my choice is the forest cure. Not only does it best please my personal taste, but I notice that it gets the more serious cases—those where radical and heroic cures are needed. First ot all there are the tuberculosis patients strewn about on thelr cots under the pungent shades of the Black forest as about Dr. Trudeau’s camp in the Adi- rondacks. Then there are the de- votees of indigestion and the nervous wrecks, bilious, alcoholic and society wrecks, drug flends, bridge flends and everybody; that is, everybody who can spend the money to come hither for the forest cure. Naturally in Ger many, as in America, folks who have to work and support families cannot afford to be cured. They can't even afford the disease in the first place. “It i8 curious how friendly the for ests are to sick and discouraged peo ple. The trees reach out their arms to shelter them. In the stillness of the morning and through the long nights they whisper reassuringly to every one who listens.” T SOD and receive 2 £ X 6 X X X New This dictionary is 1912 TS @ lustrated ® rounded; beautiful, strong, durable. e RO \ .
