In order to arrange terms of peace an armlstloe bad been declared Janu ary tl, and slowly the rumor spread that when, Sunday, March I, a review waa to take place In honor of the ekar*s acceptance of the-throne, there waa more than a poaalblllty that peace might also be concluded that day. In consequence, a large number of ex cursionists from Constantinople ar rived at San Stefano by steamboat shortly after dawn, and when, aa early as six In the morning, the whole of the Imperial guard—a magnificent body of some 36,000 men—paraded be fore the quarters of the Grand Duke Nicholas, even at that early hour a crowd of .over twenty thousand spec tators had aaaembled. Slowly the hours paaaed, and two o'clock In the afternoon came and went without any movement from the house, so that at laat ths fear began to pervade the expectant watch era that even now soms difficulty might have aria en which would pre vent the algnlng of the articles of pMOO. Happily, .however, thla fear proved unfounded. War, after all, was not to break out The review was dstaysd owing to the fact that the grand duke | was wslting for the signatures to be I attached to the treaty, which could not be done until the Ruaalan and Turklah ooplee of that document were complete. Whether the delay was caused by the well known dilator} tactlca of the Turk I know not The fact remains, however, that It was not till close on five In the afternoon that the grand duke rode up to the dlplomatio -chancery and asked at the door If the treaty was ready. Aa he waited for a reply the agitation of the crowd grew so tatenae as to almost reach break ing point Groups of anxious watchers whispered nervously: "Is It to be peace or war? Was the prostrate and gaaplng Turk to be called upon to onoe more put up the best defense he oould to the relentless snd sver-ad vanclng Russian foroeaT" [ The grand duke, wheeling sharply round, galloped off to the hill on which . the army was drawn up, and a fsw minutes afterward a carriage waa 'seen rapidly driving toward the spoL As he approached the commander 'ln-chlef. General Ignatleff, rose snd. ,speaklng very slowly and dlatinctly, said, "I have the honor to congratulate your highness on the signature of peace." A roar of satisfaction ross from the ;soldiers In the ranks. The grand duke rode between the linea and, halting on a small bill, exclaimed: "I have tbe honor to inform the army that, with the help of God, we have concluded a treaty of peace." Again tbe cheering roae and swslled. for thers wss not a man present who did not experience a feeling of intense relief that all pos sibility of a renewal of war was noV at an end. | All the officers then dismounted, the soldiers knelt and, of a sudden, a great hnah spread over the crowd which bad only a few seconds before been noisily slated with excitement The sight wss one I shall never for -1 get - Why the Glow Worm Glows.

THINKS INVIGORATION IS IN AIR' Writer's Explsnatlon of Vital Dlffei*' ence Between the Londoner I snd ths New Yorker. "The difference between New York and London," a man once said to me, "la this: In New York. If you have a new Idea, you can get it car ried out at once; In London, if you have a new idea, you are up against a brick wall." I" believe this to .be true, writes Maurice Daring in the Metropolitan. People In New York, and in America In general, ara not afraid of new Ideas, nor. Indeed, of anything new. They are not afraid of the future. In England, if a man finds, for instance, that his profession Is uncongenial to him, however certain he may be of the Impossibility of hit making a suc cess of it he will none the less very rarely give It up, and try his hand at something else. The future alarms him. In America a man will think nothing of throwing up bis profession twenty times running, until he finds something which does suit him. I think the cause of thla particular difference Ilea In the climate of Amer ica, and especially lies In the climate of New York. Juat as the climate of some places fills the whole system with an invincible desire to do noth ing, with an lnsuperagle languor and lloth. In the same way the climate of New York fills the body and mind with the desire to be up and about. It la the nimble air which producea the nimble wits; the stimulating at mosphere which creates, In the denl-1 ten of New York, the love of bustle, hurry competition and work. I am not saying thla is either a good thing or a bad thing—l am merely noting and recording what struok me ss be ing the main differences between New York and London.
