Russian Autocrats Forget
Sorrows in~Their,Labors.
Employed chiefly "ns sales girls or as
common laborers, a colony In Toronto
of Russian aristocrats, exiled from
"their own country, already includes 30
or 'lO members, says the Boston Tran
script.
The 6tory of Baroness Lozlna Lo
zlnsky, daughter of Russia's last min
ister of Justice, now a sales girl In
Toronto, Is typical.
Here is another sales girl In a locnl
gift shop, Mme. Zola Stnsenkn, sKm-
der, blonde, with the carriage of the
salon, r,nd the hands and features of
an artist. Buf thosu slender hands
now handling delicate bric-a-brac have
gripped tlfe handles of a Victors ma
chine gun. Those senile eyes have
squinted the sights of a mitrailleuse.
For St'asenka is one of the
few survivors of the famous Korniioff
regiment, was decorated for bravery
on the field of bottle, and served as a
machine gunner in Baron Wrnngel's
ill-fated campaign against the Bol
v shevtk forces. She began her military
service ns a field nurse. Later she
was one of a horde of" 10,000 herded In
Constantinople barracks where typhus
took a toll of 3,000.
Another soles girl is Mme. Valentino
Gloushkova, a dark Circassian. For
two and a half years she served as a
nurse attached to the brigade to
which her husband's regiment was at
tached, seeing fighting In the
Crimea and around Odessa. When
disaster and disorganization overtook
the Hussion forces, this fine horsewom
an found her place, not in the hospital
tents, but helping with the carrying
forward of ammunition and the evac
uation of the wounded from the for
ward area.
When final desolatlorf fell she found
her way to Constantinople, where slie

In a large- local factory Is a laborer,
who Is Baron Nlcolai Ropp, once an
officer; of the Imperial guard, and the
only Surviving member of one of the
oldest fnmilies In Russia. Watch him
at work piling wood on flat cars, and
try to Imagine him as he once was, on
exquisite,of St. Petersburg, a dhndy at
court of the last czar.
Walk Into the Royal Ontario mu
seum and watch a middle-aged man at
work dusting cases. Then try to pic
ture him in uniform lace on
the bridge of a battleship answering
the salutes of officers as they spring to
attention at his approach. An ' ad
miral of the Russian fleet, Culdeneff,
who. like Nelson, lost an eye In the
service of his country, turned museum
cleaner, his arms now a mop and a
duster.
Here is a factory where dolls are
made, kewple dolls, the beautiful blue
eyed babies of the summer spieler.
Two men bend over with brushes at a
bench industriously painting ruby lips
and rose-leaf blushes on waxen faces.
One of these men who thus turns out
prizes for the boardwalk flappers is
Capt. Paul Danchlch, formerly of thS
Russian navy; the other, Capt. Victor
Grommoflf of the guards.

makes washing machines, a mechanic

Coivbird Shirks Duly
of Raising Its Young
So far ns known, cowbirds never
build nests. Tliey do not pvtn puir.
A general system of concubinage pre
vails among them. The female cowblrd
secretly deposits her eggs in the ntfsts
of other birds, generally of smaller
species such as. vireos and field spar
rows. In this respecf the cowblrd re
sembles the European cuckoo. The
young cQwiiird Is reared In .the nest of
n strnngffe bird. Just as soon ns It can
fly It leaves the nest of its nurse and
seeks the company of other cowbirds
which have cbme Into the world In
the same disgraceful manner. There
are many cases where the young cow
blrd, which Is much the Inrger bird,
crowds the >young vireos or spurrows
entirely out of the nest. The other
birds never detect the deception and
fco on feeding the young cowblrd until
n can fly. The cowblrd, which' Is
found tn the United States, Cfinada
and Mexico, te black In color with a
coffee-brown head. It Is si called be
cause it is fopd of the commuiy of
cows. Whole flocks of cowbnro may.
be. seen following the grazing cattle

Gates Have History
A pair of wooden guU'S which stood
In front of the palace of beauty at
the British Empire exhibition are
copies of the sacred gates of the Te
heran mosque and have a most roman
tic and tragic history. /They were
made by a poor Persian wood-carver,
who defied the decrees that they were
not to be copied. Each day he made
a pilgrimage to the mosque, commit
ted some detail to memory, and then
went home and wrought It In the
wood. But his visits caused suspi
cion to fail upon him, he was watched,
his secret discovered, and, on the com
pletion of Ids tnsk, lie was found
murdered, and his work disappeared.
Presently the gates came ifito the
hands of Persian dealers, who sold
•them aOa sacrifice rather-than keep
them, andtpt ienfeth they were recog
nized lp a small London curio shop,
and "became one of Wemhley's multi

Jesutt Mother Tongue
The mother tongue of Jesus was
probably the Syrlae dialect of the Ara
maic language which was generally
spoken in Palestine, Syria and Meso 1
potamla. The people of Galilee, where
Jesus was brought up, generally spoke
the provincial language a pe
culiar accent, which distinguished them
front the people of Jerusalem and
other parts of I'alestlne (Mark 14:70
and Matthew 20:7%). There appears
to lie "no evidence that Jesus ever
spoke any- foreign tongue such as
\eek or Latin. Neither Is It likely
that He could read the Hebrew In the
original, although the Syrlae language
which He spoke contained many He
-brew words in Its vocabulary.—Path
finder Magazine.

are happily launched for the day.
Outwardly, they- may seem to be In
a state of greet annoyance, but, In
wardly, they are aelf-satlsfled and
happy. Really they are In a similar
category fb drug-takers. Deprive the
latter of what they want, and they are
touchy and unapproachable. Give them

Those who suffer from "ahnoyitls"
are the same. Deprive them of annoy

sore heads. Give them plenty of
chances of fault-finding, and they nre

Well, It Is because they have two
vices. They are tyrannical and selfish.
Fnult-flndlng enables them to exercise
their tyranny and to obtain enjoyment
by making others miserable.
An Illustration of thla Is afforded by
one employer who went to his office
half an hour earlier than usual, his
heart full of anticipatory joy at the
prospect of finding the "staff late. But
they were there, and at work, and he
was so annoyed at being deprived of
an opportunity to find fault that he
gave them a terrible time for the rest

A Detrolter driving through north
ern New York state at night, not long
ago, was stopped by a sheriff In a
small town and asked If he had seen
anyone walking along the road, or If
he hod been asked for a "lift" Re

that a convict had escaped from the
penitentiary In Auburn. He* again
started out Into the almost Impene
trable darkness qnd had progressed a
couple of miles when suddenly from
the side of the* rond darted an un
shaven, roughly man, waving
hla arms frantically and shouting at
the Detrolter. The motorist did what
almost anyone else would have done.
He "stepped on It" and shot by the
stranger. "And I've been wondering
ever since who he was and what he
wanted," he concluded. In telling the

"Bombs?' From Trees
Coulter's pine, one of the largeat
trees that grows In California, emu
lates the military airplane la ita
method of distributing seed. This
giant fir produces enormous conea, In
which are attached the seeds. Tha
seeds are held securely as long aa the
fru't Is n6t checked In Its flight
through the sir. Should the fruit, aa
very often happens, be blown against
an obstacle, such- as a tree-branch, the
device which hold* the seed unclasps,
and Its burden falls to the esrth. The
whole Idea closely resembles one of
the worst features 'of aerial war, al
though instead of a devastating bomb,
the flying fruit drops a need that may
