It is .seen that the Japanese. soldiers are educated while the Russians in the ra,nks are for the most part illiterate. But education is a slow business, and Parliamentary ing sbitutions cannot well be expected. until sorae progress has been made in it. Then when political /atoms come they are not likely to be on 'Western. lines, but a revival of ancient Rus - elan institutions. One of these is the States -General. This was an assembly of nobles, ecclesias- tics and the richer Moscow mer- chants. Its last act of power was in 1730, when it called the Empress Anne to the throne. Later Anne "suspended" it and it has remained "But, hang it all, Hyde," I said, Place on a hot platter, garnish with "If I've got to be a shooting star potato balls. let's wait till it's dark.

This was an unpleasing announce- ment; but the host bore it. Land - seer did a capital day's work for himself, and the next morning, when he came down to breakfast, he said: "Mr. Wells, I hear you are going to shoot to -day. I've been looking forward to that for a year or two." So it went on until Sunday morning and then Wells, who was very parti- cular about seeing his guests at the early service, said to Landseer: "1 suppose you are going to church?" "I don't feel like going," said Landsper. "I think .you must 'ex- cuse me." "Oh," said Wells, in a blaze, "do just as you think best! You know well enough that this is liberty hall —for you, at all events." "Thank you," said Landseer. "And I am going to ask you to let me keep Charles Mathews with me, to amuse me." Wells vouchsafed no answer, and away the people went, leaving these two to their own devices. The min- ute the house was clear they hurried to another room, which Landseer had specially arranged for the purpose.
