Are the manifestations made over
Princess Eulalie proof that royalty . is
the natural condition of mankind?
Periodically Americans go wild over the
Appearance of some old-country indi
vidual of kingly attributes and fawn
over him with all the enthusiasm of a
subject. Eulalie is being flattered and
feted, and ber idiotic speeches are suffi
cient to throw ber fair American lis
teners into transports of delight.
Should the conclusion be drawn that a
monarchial government could be easily
substituted for the present republican
form ? We think not. While the dis
tinguised ladies and gentlemen who
are entertaining her in the United
States are showering upon ' her every
courtesy and take the opportunity pre
sented of overdoing it a little, thus show
ing their preference for a gay court life,
the brawn and brains of the country,
the vast body of the people who control
that very powerful, even if changeable
thing called public sentiment, are averse
to make any more of Eulalie than any
one else, and hardly so much. They
like heroes better, somebody who has
done something else than having been
born, and petted and pampered, and
allowed to spend fortunes for baubles
which represent the sweat-drops of
thousands of subjects. A greater num
ber of people in The Dalles will pay
reverence to the heroism of "Billy"
than Eulalie could secure in a chariot
with sis white horses, over a roadway
strewn with roses.
The German is slow to complain of
high-banded action, bnt there have
been indications of late that even he is
beginning to show the temper which
"militarism" breeds, of which the fol
lowing is a recent utterance :
'SLook here! During the Franco-German
war, on both sides, there were slain
250,000 of the flower of Europe for
what? In the Crimean war there were
killed 800,000 men ! In the Italian war
of 1859 63,000 men lost their lives. In
the war between Austria and Russia, in
1866, 50,000 men laid down their lives.
The wars of Napoleon I cost Europe
5,000,000 men ! A la presse vout les
fout! France has taken up arms for
some, fool or tyrant 20 times since
1815! Twenty millions of the fairest
lives in Europe have been lain upon the
battlefield during the last century.
But is this the only curse attached to
this militarism? Let us see. During
the past 25 years the cost ot the arma
ments of Europe have been $3,000,000,
000 per year ! France spends $400,000
every day of her life on ber army and
navy. The wars of the past century
have cost the people $140,000,000,000,
without counting the value of each life
lost. It is military mania, isn't it?
Costly ! Cruel ! Inhuman ! Stupendous
idiocy ! The gross annual revenues of
the five great powers of Europe coBt the
people of Europe $1,328,000,000; $391,
000,000 of this goes to support the armies
and navies of those five powers ! Mili
tary service from five to 20 years in
harness is universal ! No man can es
cape it."

even citizens of foreign birth. Ireland

Deleware, O., has suddenly acquired
a national reputation, and that of the
worst sort. It was known in a general
way that Monett Hall and the Ohio
Wesieyan universities were located
there, but it never came into real promi
nence until the action of the female stu
dents outdid their brothers by burning
the rounded arms and tender bosoms of
various students with lunar caustic to
prevent the victims from appearing
decollete, at an approaching social func
tion. Scarcely had the reading public
had time to shudder when it was in
formed that the male students had gone
far beyond the female students in that
line of cruelty. Four members of the
junior class were set upon by members
of the lower classes and beaten with'a
redhot shovel and marked in a horrible
manner on the cheeks, chins and fore
heads with a strong solution of caustic.
"Disfigured for life" is the verdict of
the doctors. The legislature has taken
up the matter and passed a law making
hazing a felonv. Nine students have
been expelled, and now civil suits for
heavy damages are pending, and crimi
nal indictments are promised.
COUNTESS TOLSTOY.
The Clever Wife of tho. Famous
Russian Novelist.
She Sympathizes with the Philosophical
View of Ber Husband, But Is Too
, Practical to Live Vo to
Bis Doctrines.
In 1860 Count Lyeff Nikolaevitch Tol
stoy, then thirty-two years of age, re
solved never to marry, and as an earnest
of his resolution, sold the manor-house
of his estate. Its purchaser removed
the body of the house, leaving what
had formerly been its wings standing as
detached buildings, and in one of these
the hermit count took up his abode. To
this place, two years later, says a
writer in the Ladies' Home Journal, he
brought his bride, Sophia, the young
daughter of a German physician resi
dent in Moscow, and within its bare
walls for seventeen years they made
their home. No one who has not expe
rienced the" loneliness and retirement
which such a residence entails can ap
preciate how absolutely wthin herself
and her home the wife's interest must
have been. And yet, in spite of this,
Countess Tolstoy (this is the spell
ing of the name used by the family
upon their French visiting-cards and in
writing in English) has a breadth of
character and an aptitude for the larger
interests of life which has certainly
not been developed from her environ
ment. Their summer home and, indeed,
the place where the greater part of the
year is spent is called Yasnaya Poly-
COUNTE8S TOLSTOY.
ana (Clearfield), and is in the province
of Tula. The grounds are extensive
and beautiful, more from their rugged
and wild picturesqueness than from
cultivation or care. The house stands
at a distance of a mile from the high
way, from which it is barely visible
through the trees. Without and within
everything is of the simplest. The
park, with its stately avenues of trees,
the lawns, forests and ponds of the es
tate are most beautiful, despite the
neglect of later years. A grove and
thicket occupy the site of the former
manor, separating the wings. One of
the wings is occupied by a sister of the
countess and her children, and the oth
er has been enlarged to meet the re
quirements of the novelist and his family-
The daily routine of life at this
Russian "Clearfield" is a simple one.
In the morning, tea and coffee, with
bread and butter, are served in the
large hall, after which a stroll is taken
through the woods to a small river, a
mile distant, where a bath is indulged
in. A twelve-o'clock breakfast is
served under the trees, at which meal
informality reigns, and where, for the
first time in the day, the entire family
assembles. After breakfast there is
riding and drivinc, when the weather
will permit, until late in the afternoon.
Dinner is served out-of-doors.
The countess is an extremely clever
woman intellectually, and one who is
more than a match for her husband in
his arguments. She transcribes his
books as they are written, as frequent
ly as they are altered and revised, and
in the case of the "Kreutzer Sonata"
copied it four times before the book was
nally completed.
The countess, who is of necessity the
financial manager of the family, has
taken possession of the estate, which
she administers for the good of her
husband and children. She it was who
issued, a few years ago, the cheap
edition of Count Tolstoy's novels, on
the royalties of which the ' household
has been supported. To her firmness
and determination the credit for the
home in which the family reside, as
well as the blame if such it be called
for her husband's failure to practice
the doctrine of a community of goods,
which he so earnestly advocates, must
be given; and her realization that a
home must be provided for the nine
children who have lived of the sixteen
born to them, must be her excuse.
