The Future Emperor Of Russia.


The Czarowitz is hardly so tall as his father
was In his best days, but he must be nearly, If
not quite, six feet in height. and Is remarkably
deep-chested and broad shouldered. with all the
appearance or great strength. His light-gray
eyes resemble those OF his mothers relations at

Alexander !. Paul. Peter the Great, and several

Which when worn appears out Of proportion to
the comparatively small face below. A phrenol-
ogist would say it was shape betokening great
energy and strength OF will, with a talent for
