Russia's Dead Empress.

Empress Maria, Of Russia, was the
daughter of the Grand Duke Ludwig III,
of Hesse Darmstadt, and was born Az
gust s, 1924 s 4 aa
Alexander III, her husband, met her
first In his travels through the continent,
when comparatively young prince, and
married her in 1841. The reign in which
she has participated has been most
eventful one in the history Of her adopted
country. She became Empress by the
accession of Alexander in 1866. The
ukase of 1856 granted pardon to large
class of the Polish exiles and changed
considerably the political complexion of
that element of Russia's subjects, and
the ukase Of 1861 freed twenty-three
millions Of serfs and made the Gear and
Czarina intensely popular with the lower
class OF people. The Cars picture was
regarded with superstitious love by the
people, while the national antagonism to
the nobility has caused various compli-
cations until the recent socialistic move
ments have again solidifed the union be-
tween the crown and the traditional
aristocrats ,.s...-f@
Inc offspring OF the marriage OF Alex
ander and Maria are the Grand Duke
Alexander, heir-apparent, married to
Maria Dagmar, daughter Of King Chris
tan TX, of Denmark; the Grand Duke
Vladimir, the Grand Duke Alexis, the
Grand Duchess Maria, wife Of the Duke
Of Edinburgh; the Grand Duke Sergins

~ The royal family Of Russia is descended
in the female line from Romanoff, Gear
in 1913, and in the male line from Duke
Karl Frederick of Holstein Gottrop, the
union of these two families being one of
those diplomatic matrimonial strokes of
policy intended. to unite the interests of
Russia with those of the Western States
of Europe. After 1870 other alliances
made the. Romanof family still more
Teutonic in blood, among which the
marriages with the royal houses of
Baden, Wurtemberg and Prussia are the
most notable. o17 1 baaglrl fEa

The Many Races Of India.

The Calcutta Statesman remarks that
the people of India offer to a stranger q
a spectacle more interesting than any Of
the natural features of the country Sir
George Campbell once had kind Of q
naan-show got up for him in Assam, in
which specimens of all the different races
Of that province were brought together.
A similar exhibition for all India would
show us over what motley population
England rules. Every type Of Asia has
found its way into the peninsula, and
has been there retained. Even the princes
and chiefs brought together in Dubar
form sufficiently homogeneous group.
The effeminate faces Of refined Rajpoots
and Brahms, the heirs of the great
houses OF antiquity, contrast with the
marked features of the Mahrattas, des-
cendants of low caste robbers The
Afghan stares at his fellow barbarian, a
Chinese prince from the other extremity
of the Himalayan range. Our army, too,
what a study does it present? In every
battalion there is one constant element,
the familiar white face, which we at once
recognize as English, however disguised
by the turban. But the rest is all strange
and incongruous. We have Skins, Hin

Every province in the Empire, except
Bengal, is represented, and not few

for common purpose by the only bond
between them, the habit Of discipline and

The wild Duck.

ra This wel-known species is one of the
most widely distributed of this wide
ranging family, for it occurs not only all
over the northern portion of the Old
World, extending to China and Japan,
but it is also met with in North America,
as far south as Mexico. The wild duck
breeds in many parts of the United
Kingdom, and where not disturbed does
not betray any great fear of man. The
nest is placed on the ground, often at
some distance from the water, and in one
instance the writer remembers having
come across q duck sitting on nine eggs
at least half a mile from the lake where
numbers Of others were breeding. It is
strange that the sitting bird should expose
her young brood, even if they should be
safely Matched, to the risk Of capture by
fox or other wild animal on their way
to the water. The nest in question was
placed in a small wooden dell, and was
overhung by bush, which would have
efectually concealed it had not the old
bird betrayed its presence by flying off
The mallard is a much more handsome
bird than the duck, and both sexes closely
resemble the common duck of the farm
yard. In summer, however, the male
bird loses its rich plumage and dons a
dress like the female, only resuming it's
beautiful colors again in August. A good
decoy, where many wild ducks are to be
seen, is often a pretty sight, the birds
swimming about In pairs, when the fine
plumage of the male contrasts with the
more sober color of. his mate At times
they may be seen tail uppermost, search-
ing below the surface for their food,
which consists of worms, grass-seeds, and
roots, mollusca, insects, small reptiles,
and little fish. On being approached
they fly off with sonorous quack, that
of the female being the louder. During
the breeding season the males consort
much together, and on taking fight
mount high in the air and circle round
some distance before again settling down.
The female evinces great attachment to
the young, and may often be seen at
tended by her little brood, who, on the
approach of Danger, manage to conceal
themselves most adroitly, while the
mother will feign lameness, or pretend to
be wounded, in order to draw away the
intruder from the whereabouts of her
brood. - Casselps Natural History.

Preservation of Hons.

The principal feature in this new sys-
tenn consists in sprinkling the hops with
alcohol prior to packing, and then press
ing them tightly into air-tight vessels.
In course Of time the alcohol combines
with some of the constituents of the
hop, and certain volatile others are thus
formed !; these possess a strong and pc
crliarly fruity smell, but, being. very
volatile, they are all dissipated during
the boiling. DR.. Lintner has expert
mented on these preserved hops at
them; he says the fine color is retained
and there is a full development Of aroma
the fermentation of worts made with
these hops worked well, and the result
ing beer possessed a. fine bitter flavor.
If this method of sprinkling, with alco-
hol will stop the development Of valeri-

the other day by person from the pine
woods and sand hills who announced
himself as Mr.. Snag, and who wanted to
know if it could be possible that the pro-

Flourish! Why business is on the

alarms of fire there in one week. How's
that for town which is to be left three
miles off your railroad?"
Being asked to give the names of the
business houses, he scratched his head
for a while, and then replied:

a big store, own eight yokes Of oxen, and
shall soon have dam and a saw mill.

A Hens Curious Hatch.

A gentleman in Raleigh, of unques-
toned veracity, relates a story whose
truth he asserts to be above par. For
some time past a hen of his had been
conspicuous by her absence from the
premises, and there were fears that she
was lost. Those fears were very agreea-
bly, dispelled, however, on Friday, when
she made her appearance, singing in her
gayest manner, and stepping along in
her sprightest style. Just behind her
were some diminutive objects to which
she ever and anon gave her undivided at
tention. The slowness Of their progress
caused the hens owner to rush out to
see what the brood was this time. He
was astonished to see the hen cover with
her wings twelve little terrapins. Soon
she was treasured, and allowed him to
get a look at her treasures. The family
were called out to see the wonder. The
owner of the hen then went back the way
she had come, and found out how the
eggs we're Matched. A terrapin which
had laid the eggs had deserted them,
and the motherly fowl concluded to sit
on them. This she had done, and the
result was the twelve young terrapins.

Prof. Palmieri on EarthOuakes.

II Prof. Pa1nieri has been Iecturing on
the. possibility of foretelling earthquakes.
After mentioning earthquakes as known
and remarked in ancient days, he Illus
trated the three signs of the, coming
earthquake which, from time gimme-
mortal, have been popularity believed in
namely, the sultry, oppressive state of
the atmosphere, the drying up of wells.
and the uneasiness shown, by animals,
observing that, though these signs donot
always, yetthey undoubtedly often, occur.
Prof Palmieri'went on to say that earth
quakes have no doubt shorter or longer
periodseaof preparation. The earth is
never perfectly quiet forsome time before
and after a great shock, but gradually
sinks into reposelor increases in agita-
tion.y The Professor believes that. by
registering the slight preliminary trem-
blings, and noticing their increase or de-
crease, it would he possible to fofeten an
earthquake about three days in advance.
just as tempests are. now foretold. If a
connected system of seismographic sta
tons were to be organized the different
stations communicating with each other
/ by telegraph lit would be quite possible
in most cases to issue warnings to the
threatened district in time. He scarcely
expected to live to see it; but he hoped
that, after he was gone, posteritv might
benefit bysuch a system, universally and
permanently established. The seismo-
graphic stations should be erected by the
different Governments in quiet places.
