These words aie the keynote of an emphatic statement made by Count Cnssini, the Russian uinhas sador lo a Washington (I). C.) .Star reporter. .Several times recently the ambassador has categorically denied the possibility of any inter vention in the war, but the recur rence of rumors that the powets contemplated mediation hns caused the ambassador to reiterate on be half of his government its position regarding intervention or mediation of any kind. "I deem it my duty," said he, "to reiterate what I have so often said, that Russia will not suspend in any case her military operations in the far east. All rumors and re ports regarding the possible success of the direct overtures for peace, which Japan is said to have made to Russia, and regarding the media tion of the powers, are, in my opin ion, slatted for the purpose of con vincing the public that the end of the war is close at hand. In this way it is hoped that the public may be led to believe that Japanese loans offer attractive investments. "Russia can no more admit of in terference than Great Britain could in the Transvaal or than could the United States in her war with Spain. Where the prestige of a country is at stake, all other con siderations are and must be put aside. Some people may think that financial difficulties will in fluence Russia to cud hostilities. Such an opinion is based on the false assumption of Russia's finan cial resources. There is no doubt whatever that Russia, whose annual income exceeds one milliard dol lars, cannot be influenced in her at titude toward the outcome of the war by the amount of war expendi tures. It is not altogether out of the question that Russia, who did not expect war, should iu the mo ment when she has mobilized her army and is sending corps after corps in fighting readiness to the far east, suddenly call a halt on hostilities, particularly after she has for nearly a year, without any difficulty or recourse to extraordi nary measures, been able to carry the extra expense? "It is not within my scope to comment upon the new Japanese loan. That is an affair for the bankers and for the public who aie able to decide what advantages or disadvantages the investment offers. But there can be no necessity for commenting upon Russia's credit. Any one acquainted with the Paris exchange is able to convince him self of the solidity ol Russia's finances." A illlninr of Pnnn.

At upper windows above the shops you sec men working sewing machines; at the edges of the pavement little dark bootblacks, Kurds, sit with their wooden blocks before them.

The Whlupcr Court, At Itochford, Kssex, Knglnnd, the whisper court Is a strange observance held annually under the superintend ence of the steward of the manor. The business of the court Is carried out at midnight hi the open air. The absence of a tenant is punishable by a line of double his rent for each hour he falls to be iu attendance. No artificial light, except a firebrand, Is permitted, and the proceedings arc recorded by means of one of the embers of the brand. The roll of fourteen tenants Is then called over and answered to In a whisper, and then they kneel down and swear al legiance. Very many years ago the lord of the manor, after an absence from his estate, was returning home by night. On the way he accidentally heard some of his discontented ten antry plotting his assassination. Thus warned, he returned homo by nn unex pected route. Then ho ordered that each year his tenants should nssemble at the same time to do him homage around n post which ho erected ou the spot where the plotters met. THE HAWAIIAN FERTILIZER CO., Ltd.

In an address to negro qitizens delivered at Birmingham, Ala., Booker Washington said: "Not a few have predicted that on account of the recent election many members of our race lose their heads; would become unduly pompous, self assertive and gener ally offensive. With all the earn estness that I can command, I want to urge our people iu every part of the country to disappoint those who have made such predictions by lead ing a life of increased usefulness, soberness and simplicity, remem bering, as I have often exhorted before, that in the long run it is to the certain and fundamental ideas of growth in property, intelligence and high Christian character, to gether witli the cultivation of friendly relations with our neigh bors of all races, that we must look for our ultimate success. "The masses of our people are to dwell for all time here in the south, nnd here it is that our destiny must be worked out, nnd we can only succeed when we have the confi dence and co-operation of those about us."

The "conscrlts," as they are call ed at the famous Kcolo Polytechnlque In Paris, arc subjected to nn amusing Initiation called the salad of shoes. The freshmen report some days be fore the upper class men so that they enn receive their uniforms and become familiar with the routine of the school. The first morning nftcr their torment nrs return the freshmen are aroused by a demand that they throw their shoes out of the windows Into the court yard. The shoes aro gathered Into n heap, and, kneeling in a big circle around this, the freshmen arc obliged to go through some ridiculous gymnas tic movements at the command of their superiors. When the study bell rings they have but a minute to appear lu the class rooms, and It Is a strenuous mlnuto around that pile of shoes. Itenllntlc. Actors frequently receive unexpected proof of the realism of their art. This story, which Is reported from a Chicago theater, Is like the story of the nrtlst who painted n lire so vividly that his servant threw water on it. "Hamlet" was the play. In the gal lery two small newsboys were watching with breathless Interest. The last act was drawing to a close. The duel al most dragged the boys from their chairs. Hefore their eyes the queen was poi soned, Laertes killed, the king killed, Hamlet killed. On the final tragedy the curtain started down. The audience was spellbound. In the gallery sounded a clatter and crash ns one of the boys bolted for the door. "Come on, Jimmy!" ho shouted back to Ids "pal." "Hustle up! Dey'll be extras out on dls." To him the acting had been nt least as real as news. Youth's Companion. his A Fnlile on Gratitude. The snake was trying to shed hkln. "Help mo off with this, will you?" ho said to a frog that happened to be passing. The frog kindly compiled with the request, nnd presently the discarded M;ln lay stretched along the ground. "Now," observed the frog, "1 suppose you will do with that as I do with my eastolT garments eat It." "No," said the snake. "There Is some thing better In sight." Thereupon he ate the frog. The moral of this, my dears, Is that there Is more thun one kind of skin game, and some kinds are meaner thau others. Chicago Tribune. Kverj body Uses Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
