The Mother of Peter The Great,

Natalie Narischkin, the mother of
Peter the Great, was lovely, highly
gifted woman, though of humble ori-
gin. Alexis, her husband, was a
prince of unusual energy and intel
ligence, He encouraged agriculture,
established silk and linen manufac-
tories, reorganized the army, COM
piled a law code, which is in use the
present day, and did all which lay
in his power to improve both the
moral and social condition of his
people. When he became widower
he resolved to marry second time
to please himself.
With this object in view he went
through the country in various dis
guises, seeking to penetrate into the
inner circle of homes blessed with
daughters. Sometimes he would GO
dressed as an apothecary in search ol
healing plants, sometimes as u mer'
chant or a travelling professor.
In this way he became moro thor.
oughly acquainted, too, with his
country and its inhabitants, with
their desires and cares, duties and
trials, than would have been possible
otherwise.

the suburbs of Moscow, he met one

The st. Louis Sanitarium is a char
table institution for the reformation
of drunkards and opium-eaters. Pa
tients are treated as inmates, and
medicine and advice are also dispcns-

are prescribed for those who ohabitual-
ly resort to stimulents when over
worked, and lectures arc given in
which the nature and consequences
of drunkenness are described. The
managers now ask liquor dealers to
be taxed to support the Sanitarium.

Can a wife steal her hisbaaaS;

The prisoner, saho had been. a po.
cciving stolen money and goods,
which he knew had been stolen from
the prosecutor, an inkeeper at Burs-
lem. The theft was alleged TO have
been committed by the innkceper's
wife. She had undoubtedly left her
husbands house, secretly, and with
out his consent, carrying away with
her about 500 Of his money, his gold
watch, and other articles, which she
transferred to the prisoner. But his
counsel contcnded that there could
be no felonious receiver of stolen
goods, without there first being thief,
and that the conviction was wrong
because married woman could not
in law steal the goods of her husband.
The court so held, and quaShed the
conviction, saying that although the
goods were taken by the wife, they
were not stolen; that husband and
wife were one, and it would be vio-
lation of the law of England to hold
that wife could steal her husbands
