Length Of Reign.

In spite OF the tnnumerable snares that were
set for his life, Alexander II. held the sceptre
for period far longer than the average term
accorded to European sovereigns. He sue
ceeded to the throne on March 2, 1855, though
the coronation. which took place at Moscow,
reign covered a period OF twanty-slx years
and eleven days Only three among the Eu-
ropean rulers who claim imperial or royal
rpen Sh eas the reign OF Tngf
aScended the throne on June 10Th, 1887 and
already her reign has endured for forty three
years. eight months and twenty three days.
Francis Joseph OF Austria comes next. He was
proclaimed Emperor OF Austria on December
2, 1S4S. and counts an imperial term Of 80 years.
3 months and - days. William Ill, King OF
the Netherlands, stands third in the list. He
succeeded to the throne on March II, 1s4s. Ga
Thursday last his Dutch Majesty completed
the $50 year OF his reign. The death or the
Car has raised William Of Germany to the
fourth place on the list but that position is
held by the Kaiser as King OF Prussia, not as
Emperor Of Germany. William assembled the
Prussian throne on January 2, 1861. He has
worn the crown for 20 years. months and
Is days. 1t will be seen that the Kaiser'5 royal
authority must continue nearly six years
longer before 1t can match lengths with the
reign which was cut short on Sunday by a
murderous hand.
But, though the reign OF Alexander II. looks
long In comparison with the figures shown by
the rulers OF other lands, its duration, strange

Russian history. The record on this point runs
right In the teeth OF the current impression.
Muscovite sovereignty has been described,
Witttly, and with some justification, as
despotism tempered by assassination. Yet, IN
spite Of the risk or violent death, Cars
and Czarinas, as rule, have kept their
heads under the crown for periods that
run far beyond the average duration of reign
In safer countries. Ivan the Great. the
first ruler OF Russia who assumed the
title of autocrat, assembled the throne in 1852.
From that date up to the accession
OF Alexander Ill, twenty-four Car and
CZarfna held sway in MuScovy. Tween
ty-fOur rulers In continuous succession covered
period Of 40 years. an average OF nearly sew
enteen and one-half years to each reign. OF
these as many as seven exceeded the term OF
the late Car. The list Is we'll worth giving.
To begin with the smaller figures, Nicholas, the
father OF Alexander H., ruled for thirty years:
Alexis, the son of Michael for thirty one years;
and Michael himself, the first Car OF the house
OF Romanof. for thirty-twO years. Catherine
H. occupied the throne for thirty-four years.
Peter the Great resgned for forty-three years,
flrsu as joint emperor and then as autocrat.
Ivan the Great also held imperial power for
forty-three years The list Is headed by Ivan
the Terrible, who actually WAS aUCOcrat OF all
the Russtas for more than half century, his
reign extending through fifty. one years from
1888 to 1854. Assurediy the proVero that
Threatened folk live long is justified by the
duration OF the reigns OF the sovereigES OF Rls-

WONDERFUL MEMORIES,

Some examples of the marvels of memory would
seem entirely incredible had they not been given
to us upon the highest authority. Cyrus knew
the name of each soldier in his army. 1t is also
related of fThemistoces that he could call by name
every citizen of Athens. although the number
amounted to twenty thousand. Mithridates, King
Of Pontus knew all his eighty thousand soldiers
by their right names. Scipio knew all the nhab-
itants Of Rome. Seneca complained of old age
because he could not. as formerly, repeat two
thousand names in the order in which they were
read to him and he stated that on one occasion,
when at his studies. two hundred unconnected
verses having been recited by the different pupils
of his preceptOT he repeated them in reversed
order proceeding from the last to the first. Lord
Granville could repeat from beginning to end the
New Testament in the original Greek. Cooke, the
tTagedian, is said TO have committed to memory
all the contents of daily newspaper. Racine
could recite all the tragedies Of Euripides. 1t is
once seen nor name he had heard. Mirandola
would commit to memory the contents of a book
bv reading it three times. and could frequently
repeat the words backward aS well as forward
Thomas Cranmer committed to memory, in three
months. an entire translation Of the Bible Euler
the mathematician, could repeat the IEned and
Liebnitz. when an old man, could recite the whole
of Virgil word for word. It is said that B0Ssuet
could repeat not only the whole Bible. but all
Homer Virgil and Horace besides many other
works

CLEANLINESS OF THE SKIN,

The use of soap is the most sure way OF purify
ing the surface of the body. Soap contains what
chemists call an alkali-a chemical substance
potash or soda which, brought in contact with
animal membranes or substances, sottens them.
Moreover it emulsifies fat. The effect of soap
on the skin is therefore clear; it softens up the
cuticle, and it enters into combination with the
fatty layer so enables the water to gain free ac-
cess to the skin, and by friction to remove the
loose particles of cuticle and dirt. But there are
good and bad soaps. Some have too much alkali
in them, and then they dissolve OF soften up the
cuticle too much, and so expose or lrritate the
delicate deeper layers OF the skin. We should
use Il soap that has small amount of alkal in
it. Some of the best of all soaps made, considered
from a medical point of view, are, IN the writer's
opinion, the transparent soaps, the Well-knOwn
old brown Windsor. and the glycerine soaps
Some of the incest to use are, however, somewhat
expensive Those mentioned are among the best
for babes and may be used freely with them
Well, having obtained nice mild soap it should
be used to the face once a day the heads of chill
dren twice week, and the whole body once a
week. This is in addition to taking the daily
cold water bath to be by-and-by noticed. If per
sons can afford the time and have inclinatiOn
there can be no question that the best possible
results follow the use of soap to the armpits, the
grOns and parts about and the feet each day, and
to those who luxuriate in the thing, it cannot hurt
to employ good soap to the body generally each
day. We have, however stated that at least once
week the whole body should be soaped. Ordin
ary yellow soap does not meet with any favor at
our hands, and we condemn it in the case ofyoung
children. There is one more point on this head
The face, when very hot or dirty, or after walk,
should not be washed in soap. 1t is better to
bathe, not rub, in little warm water, and then
powder it with ordinary baby powder and let it
