With Social Conditions in the Rus-
dan Capita Tribute of (ho Peas
nti Is Sincere.
London, Aug. 27. Russian rcfu
gees and thousands of literary men
and political radicals will tomorrow
celebrate the eightieth birthday of
Count Leo Tolstoi with a great meeting-
which will probably be the most
enthusiastic tribute ever paid In Lon
don to a literary man.
Preparation! for the grea occasion
have been going forward for months
and tomorrow's culmination will be
a veritable publlo upheaval of love
and admiration for the great Russian
novelist.
Hundreds of messages of congratu
lation, signed by the most famous
Barnes In English literature and poll
tics, will be sent fom London to the
venerable man who rules Intellectual
Russia by the power of his pen and
who looms above the czar as a giant
above a pigmy.
In connection with the Tolstoi
birthday celebraion, it Is stated that
a new novel has been completed by
the great Russian and will make Its
appearance immediately after his
death. The manuscript of the book
has been read by an English friend
of Tolsaol, who states that it is per
haps the most terrible arraignment
of smart society ever written.
Dealing with the frailties and fol
lies of fashionable women and the
Drlmal sins and passions of men, it
Is declared to be even more powerful
than "Anna Karenina" and "The
Kreutzer Sonata."
"Father Sergius" is the title of the
new novel, which will only see the
light of day after the eyes of the au
thor have been closed forever. It Is
the story of a wealthy guardsman,
prominent in St. Petersburg society,
who' becomes engaged, to a typical so
ciety girl of the Russian capital.
For a time the course of true love
runs smoothly, and the guardsman is
serenely happy in the thoughts of a
happy future. Shortly before the mar
riage, however, the young man dis
covers that the maiden, while pre
tending extreme innocence and de
claring that she loves only her be
trothed, has been carrying on a clan
destine "affair" with a Russian court
personage and that her Innocence Is
only an afectation covering depths of
depravity.
The rage of the young man at this
tragic ending of his dreams of wed
ded bliss affords opportunity for
fierce Tolstoian castlgation of society
women, with the Intimation that the
girl is but a type common among the
feminine devotees of smart society
everywhere.
Utterly disgusted with the world
and Its ways, the officer throws up
his commission in the army, enters
a monastery, takes the cowl, and as
sumes the name of Sergius.
that while the effects of this tarring
process lasted it proved satisfactory,
but tho beneficial effects were hardly
leatlng enough to warrant its use
throughout the country. The minister
of public works has in hand a number
of substances that lay claim to the
title of dust preventatives, and It is
proposed to carry on experiments with
a view to testing their efficacy during
the present summer.
In view of the fact that this ques
tion is being agitated In certain sec
Hons of our country, it may be worth
while for some American Inventor or
manufactured 'of anti-dust substances
to ask the Belgian department of pub
lie works to give his production a
trial.

UNIQUE NEWSPAPER.
Published on a Farm Ten Miles From
Nearest Postoffice.
White county, Arkansas, has what
Is probably the most unique newspa
per published In Arkansaw or In most
any other state, for that matter. Its
office of publication is in a farm
house about II miles from Searcy,
and its editor and publisher is a far
mer.
There Is no town of any sort, not
even a postoffice, at the place wnere
this paper Is published. The publica
tion is entered in the mall at Bald
Knob, which Is about 10 miles from
the office of publication.
The editor of this remarkable news
paper Is John M. Harlow, who went
to White county a few years ago from
some point in the north and has be.
come one of the best known citizens
o. the county.
Harlow's eccentricities have gained
him considerable notoriety, and hi
newspaper has won him additional
prominence. As an editor Harlow Is
in a class by himself. His paper.
which he calles the Pioneer, Is a
monthly publication.
It generally consists of eight or 10
pages about six by nine Inches. It
contains some foreign advertising as
well as some local ads, of merchants J
In nearby towns. (
Harlow Is the editor, business man
ager, compositor, pressman and office
devil, which may have some advan
tages when It comes time to make up
the payroll at the end of the month.
At any rate, the paper sems to have
been a paying investment, as Its pub
lication has continued without Inter
ruption for some time.
In addition to being an editor, law
year and farmer, Harlow has been a
pedagogue. He has taught several
terms of school since he located In
White county and was one of the
speakers at the last teachers' institute
held at Searcy.

BELGIAN" RUSTLESS ROADS.
Road Builders Soaking to Eliminate
the Pu Nuisance.
Consul Albert Johnson, of Liege,
calls attention to the experiments
that are being made to produce a
dustless road for the country districts
of Belgium. He says:
The Increasing popularity of the
automobile in Belgium has given rise
tc serious study on the part of the
department of public works of the
problem of rendering the highways
of the kingdom dustproof. Specialists
are not agreed as to the most effica
cious and economical method of. com
bating the dust nuisance.
Various experiments have been car
ried on with different substances for
testing their Telative merits, but tha
results have not been satisfactory,
and the commission of public roads
are of the opinion that future experi
ments will result In the discovery of
some material better adapted for the
purpose than any that has yet been
tried.
During the famous autocar tests
last wear In the Ardennes the entire
circuit was treated with tar, and this
process of dust elimination proved
highly satisfactory to the automobll
lst. The beneficial effects, however,
of this tarring process were of rather
too short duration, considering the
expense entailed 7 centimes (11-3
cents) per square meter. As In this
case all of the expenses were borne
by the organizers of the auto tests,
the government was enabled to profit
by the experience without the neces
sly of any outlay on Its part.
In these tests it was demonstrated j
