HEN the army and navy of 4 country joins its civil revolu- tionaries, the foundations of its Government fall.- This seems | to be the casé in Russia. The Government is apparently with- cut force to reform itself and preserve its dynasty, even under a| ly changed form of administration. The Czar has made greater ncessions than were made by Louis XVT to placate the French, ike Louis has made them in vain. It is one of the marvels of situation that the Czar and those around him seem to have been | ipletely out of touch with the people. All of their resources of | pies and an immense secret police establishment failed to makei aware that the empire was a slumbering volcano, ready to ¢ into-eruption at any moment. 4 It has been thought sufficient to repress every popular aspiration 1 to depend upon an army, drawn from the masses, that had no son for: patriotism and no motive for loyalty. During the Japa- war - there ‘were numerous indications that the soldiers and sailors, who were expected to fight for Russia, were the victims of official rascality, by which they were underfed, badly sheltered, de- prived of proper medical attention, and yet*they were ‘expected tor do deeds of valor for a government that compelled them to defend it with poor food and bad ammunition. To all this there could be and that, military sympathy with revolution. T'he .people may not know just what they want as a substitute r their present government, but the indications are that they are determined to destroy the government they have, regardless of nese en what may follow. It is a fearful tragedy. In our time it could happen énly in The other governments of Europe have gone forward, mitting their people to a larger share in their administration, while ssia has stubbornly maintained an Oriental form of absolutism. Before the current tragedy is over, it is likely that mighty changes will be made. With Russia no longer a disturbing factor, Turkey in Europe will experience the crushing force of exterior influence. Greece may get large accessions of power and territory and the buffer states like Servia and Roumania may be aggregated into a nation that will be significant in numbers, power and position. The revolutionaries of Russia may be making history very rapidly. At present there is no sign that thcy can be hindered until their full purpose is accomplished.

" | Suspicion and Reaction BY WALLACE RICE ¢ LIKE this bonnet best,” remarked the steady chuich- goer, hesitating over choice of her winter headgear, > “but I think that I had better take that one, for it is trimmed on the congregation side" i - Surely, hearing her, the recording angel wrote down in his note book: “At least this woman practices the golden rule.”. For is.not:a proper regard for one's congregation side a Samaritan virtue? . It is for the benéfit of her neigh- ber, certainly, that a woman puts her money into a brand- new bonnet,. which she doesn’t actually need, instead of into the bank or into an old darned stocking. How much less habitable this vale of tears would be it people did not generally consider the artistic effect of their congregation side. - Social life would be all corners: Home life would be -all roughness. . There would be -né such thing as good manners. . And family skeletons would pa- rade the streets in-all thelr horrible unloveliness. It is a wise woman who picks: out her bonnet with re- gard to obsérvers of it, who. has tge best side of her face photographed, who always puts-the best foot forward, who tells the world ‘about. the virtues: of her relatives and guards. their faults behind the silence of her loyal lips: I do not care to know “the truth™ about my neighbor if it 18 unpleasant and concerns me not. I'd rather be decelved a ljttle.. If she is secretly unhappy and hides her sorrows behind a cheerful face God bless her ard keep her and also keep me from the knowledge of her trouble, un- less to know it will make me a little kinder toward her. If the woman next door hangs out. more clothes than she can wear, whose business is it but her own? Perhaps she is trying in her feminine way to hide the fact that her. huband's business affairs are shaky—she s making a strong bluff in a society where appearances are capital - Turn to art and you find that even Venus of Milo has ‘her congregation side.

Turn to human nature. and you will find that ‘its co gregation side displays as many effects-as a wlhole church full of bonnets.- Some of them have the pathos of.that story of .the beautiful lady of old Venice who retired from the world at sight of her first gray halr, preferring to be remembered by. her admirers and adorers in the full splen-. dor of her incomparable charm.

John .Adams said once that in his inmost heart every man believed himself to be the. wisest and greatest of mankind. This {6 an exaggeration, but there is no doubt at all that the average man has to have a. good opinion of himself in order to be able to overlook the mistakes he makes. Now I.am. asked about-the suspicious man, the person who guards himself against all mankind because he thinks somebody: is going to ‘get the best of him. We all know the kind. He argues that to be polite and accommodating merely advertises the fact. that a man is soft and easily cheated; that it.is not worth while doing anything for anybody because men are 30 ungrateful. Here again, as everywhere in life, there lles a half- truth. -The man who does good to another because of the gratitude he expects is not nearly §o0 generous as the man | who. does good because he cannot hélp it and without a | thought of reward. And the. worst thing' about a man is that his very sus- -picion. adwertises him—not. as-a .softy, it is true, but—as some one-to be suspected. The stream rises no higher than its source. The suspicious man is.suspicious of himselt— he knows that witha good chance he will be quick to take adyantage of another. 53 S With that curious mixture of self and unself which runs through all our actions the good that one does without ex- pectation of gratitude brings: = higher reward to the doer than the good done for hire. 'Yet 'If one set out to do good with the idea of patting himself on the back afterward it ‘will'do him no good at all. - Thé man who is hurt by -suspicion, following the con- .verse of the same- line of thought, is rather the man sus- . pecting than the man suspected. ) It breeds distrust, dis- like and raises a barrier between one man and another ‘which is the hideous ‘opposite.of charity. Yet it a man who has a tendency toward susvicion of his fellows says to himself, “I ‘will now be“generous,” the good his generosity. does him is exceedingly doubtful. It is impulse’ that betrays th2 heart of a man, that deeper self which is above. below and beyond education. ‘The finest thing.in thé world to cultivate, to bring to the point ‘where .it is secand ‘nature, is the habit of good -impulses. Who ever heard suspicion called a good impulse? + girl, for'I don’t have to keep Wworrying about whether not you'll ask me a question when my mouth is full.” —+ or And ‘where does one's congregation side achieve a greater or a worthier triumph than at a “company dinner,” when, for your hostess’ sake, you are nice to the man next to you, although you hate the sight of -him?

In the event of an affection that i{s curable marriage should be postponed. If it:ibe proved beyond doubt that an aliment is out af the reach of medical skill, the man or ‘woman should be brave enough to re- nounce “marriage and ‘take up some line of work which may absorb his or her interests. For in marriage, as in all else, the uplifting of humanity should be the highest consideration. 3. A woman should demand among the good qualities of her husband that ‘he be well bred. The little delicacies of 1ife go far toward oiling the wheels. 4. She should look for congeniality .of tastes, as well as some quality of in- tellect or its’development. * A college- bred man.and a .primary school girl would be hopelessly ill-assorted. one of.the strongest ties in marriage. 6. She should never marry a man who asked the sacrifice of her individuality or Upermitted her to dominate his.
