"Business. as Usual"
A writer in the 'London Daily Mail'
suggests that the nation's motto at the
present moment should be "Baines as
Usual." The "London Spectator" says;
"That is sound common-sense and
true patriotism. There ie not one of
us who cannot without the slighest 1o) s
of health or happiness be 'speeded up'
by sum fifteen or twenty per cent. 1r
we all—men, women and childten—
resolve to work harder and better than
before, we shall very soon overtake
the losses of war- They are superficial
things, if the spirit survives."
Nations fight not with armies and
navies alone, but with resources. Tht
allies are vastly sups) for to Germany
in natural resources. but in order to be
available sources of strength, these re
sources must be devell oAs the
"Spectator" says, men, women and
children must resolve to work harder
and better than before.
"Business as Usual". We need busi-
ness and more business, in order:to
provtde the sinews of war, to arm,
feed and clothe armies, and to provide
for the families of those who flight.
"Business as usual." Let that be our
motto in Canada as well as in England
and all over the British Empire. Yet
not quite as usual. Let us feel that
we are doing business with a purpose
—not to accumulate money, but to add
to the stock of useful things useful in
war as well as in peace.

Alexis Plekanoff, a young Russian of
intellectual tastes, gave himself up so
completely to study that his health,w.r s
impaired. His physician advised him
to live in the country for awhile, and
the young man, not willing to be idle,
bought a farm, intending to till the
soil.
Alexis' farm had on It a dwelling
house and other necessary buildings.
He hired servants besides farm hands,
for he was well to do and was soon
devoting himself to raising produce
with as much interest as be had pre-
viously shown in books. Nor did he,
because he was city bred, keep aloof
from his neighbors, but joined in their
amusements, received them at his
home and visited them familiarly.
Soon after he was settled in his new
home the people of the place where he
had located assembled fora festival,
which be attended. The exercises con-
sisted principally of athletic sports --
running, jumping and especially riding.
The Russians are fine horsemen, and
some of the feats performed at this fes-
tival were worthy of an American cir-
cus. There was also a dance In a barn.
Alexis was recognized among the
country people for something better
than themselves and was treated with
great deference. One of the men ap-
proached him at the dance and said:
"If your excellency would like to
dance I will introduce you to a girl
whose parents, like yourself, came long
ago from the city, though the young
lady herself was born in her present
home."
."I would be glad to be introduced to
any of your girls," replied Alexis, "and
do not doubt that any would make a
partner not only worthy of me, but
would honor me by dancing with me."
So the young man was introduced to
Vera Trolensko. Sbe was a girl of
STOOD W1Tri stun EYES BEN UPON THE
FLOOR.
nineteen years, with a perfect figure
and a comely face. But what charmed
him was a certain demeanor there was
about bee, 'a mingling of dignity and
modesty. It was plain that she had
come of different stock from the oth-
er girls of that region. Vet there was
nothing haughty about be She seem-
ed to be friendly and companionable
with them, though they appeared to
recognize her superiority.
Aiexis asked Vera to dance, and site
graciously accepted the invitation. She
danced with a grace that made Alexis
think her ancestors for generations had
danced at the court balls et the itnpe-
rhtl palace, Though she did not seem
out of place here, she would not have
been out of place there. Alexis danced
with her several times. during the
evening. Ile would have dented with
the other girls, but, whether or not the
managers of the affair dM not consid-
er any of the other§ worthy to be itis
partners, they did not ln'trodnce him.

breeding she could not conceal even if
she would, sins was a part of the cotrt-

was looking on, vainly tryiug to at-
tract his attention. Fatally he turned '
toward her for an explanation of this
singular proceeding, and she beckoned
hien to follow her, Alexis, after ask
ing Vera to excuse him, did so. As
soon as he was alone with the house.
keeper she said to him:
"There is a custom of this country
of which you are not aware, your ex-
cellency. Here it Is the woman who
proposes marriage to the man, pot the
man to the W0111011. When a woman
wishes to marry a man she goes to his
house and remains tiiere till he mar-
ries her. If he refuses he insults her
family, and if she has male protectors
they punish the insult she and they are
deemed to have received, in any event,
the man who refuses the woman is
scorned by the community."
Alexis, amazed, stood mute. The wo-
man continued:
"Vera has [laid you the compliment
of proposing marriage to you. If you
refuse her she cannot be avenged by
her father,- for he is too old, and she
has no brothers. But her father would
not resent the insult even if he were
yotn(tg and strong enough to do so. He
has never adopted our customs and is
doubtless much displeased that his
daughter should have adopted this one,
so foreign to what he was formerly ac-
customed. But Vera is very dear to
us, and should you refuse her all who
know her would turn away from you
treating you as one who had insulted
u woman they love and revere. It
seems to me, your excellency, that yon
have u choice between two actions—
either to accept the otter made you or
go away from here."
It was some time before Alexis made
any reply to this expituuition, Ile was
suddenly thrown under the influence
of conflicting emotions. Following a•
custom which had been practiced by
all her associates, there was certainly
nothing immodest in Vera's action. She
was a beautiful girl and beloved by all.
Nothing would be more pleasing to him
than to make her his wife. But, on
the other hand, he had come to her
ruuutry to t'etnaiu only a few years
when he and expected to return to St.
Petersburg, IIis father had brought
him up with the understanding that he
(the father) would select a wife for
!iiia, and Alexis believed that should
he marry a womau who had been
brought up among peasants and with-
out his. father's consent he would be
disinherited.
What should he do? The girl who
bad proposed to him was waiting for
his reception of her proposal. It seem-
ed to trim that since she had come
there In accordance with the custom of
the country he must either accept her
proposition or turn her out, 0.f all
considerations bearing on the case this
ejection \vas'tile hardest for him to
think of.
Alexis spent nn hour alone turning
the matter over in his mind. Theo he
resolved that the would go to Veru and
explain to her flint he had been brought
up to understated that his father eras
to select his wife for him and he con
::idered it his duty as a good son to
abide by his father's decision. Ile
went to the roost where Vera was
waiting for him. As soon as he en
toed site turned from him and stood
with her eyes bent upon the floor.
"Vera," he commenced, "Maria has
informed ale of what I was ignorant,
the meaning of your coining here.
Your Customs of this country are not
our eustoms in the city. 1 have been
brought up to recognize my father's
right to select a wife for ins, and 1
consider it my duty as a good son to
abide by it, but"—
She bent lower and lower as be drew
nearer whet she knew was coming tilt
now she was: like a plant bout by the
wind. Approaching her, putting an
urtu about her and taking her hand in
his, he finished:
"Vera, I love you."
The nuptials were celebrated tete
same evening, all the people turning
out to do the bride honor.
Alexis wrote his father, a prominent
statesman, that he hard married the
daughter of one Trolensko, who hacl
cotne from Moscow and had lived for
twenty years npal't from the world of
which he had formerly been n part
