diamonds that sparkled on the necls aud in the
headdresses of the ladies' Many of the fair crea-
lures wore them so carelessy that 1t was almost a
temptation TO stretch out your hand and pick them

THE moro we learn of young Skobeleff
the most famous general of tho Russian army,
who died year ago, not 40 years OF age, the moro
deplorabe seems his early taking off, Asa soldier
he was peerless for whilo his apparent reckless
ness and his charm Of manner captvated his
troops, he did nothing except In accordance with
natural plans. He saw that the stomach and tho
feet were the two members OF soldier especially
to be cared for His men were accordingly the best
shod and the best fed in the army. He
was remarkable IN many ways--a scholar as
well as n soldier He spoke English without
the slightest foreign accent, was we'll read In
English literature. and fond OF quoting from
the English poets, especially Byron. He also
read French, German. and Italian; spoke modern
Greek, as well as Wallachian, Bulgarian, Serb and
more than one Of the Central Asian dialects. Had
he not been soldier he would probably have
been known as q great geographical explorer
In all his campaigns he carried with him neatly
bound diamond editions of the British, German,
and French standard authors, the margins Of
which were covered with annotations written 10
small, distinct characters. He was n rich man
an enthusiast on the slav question, and staunch
supporter ofthe autocratic system of government.
