another showing broader line, while at 9TH
er places the flashes appeared double.

According to Russian journal the Rus
sian law, especially as regards murder, is
now to be enforced among all nations under
Russian rule. Hitherto the murder of a
Kirghiz was punished by their own customs
in the following manner: When in an aul
or in the steppe murder has been commit
ted, the relatives and friends of the dead
man commence the search for the murderer
Sometimes he is not found until after long
interval, especially if the body is not soon
found. Frequently the latter is hidden
then the flight of birds of prey is watched,
and other indications are utilized by the ex-
traordinary acuteness of the nomads. When
the murderer is discovered the relations have
the right to levy from him so-called kun.
This fine, which washes away bloodguilti-
ness, consists of number of camels, horses
sheep, and clothes, special kun being due
to those who took part in the search for the
murderer, to the person who actually dis
covered him, and to the judge. The fine, or
wergild, for woman is less than that for a
man, and in the latter case it varies with the
descent. Thus there would be greater fine
for killing pure Kirghiz than for killing one
whose descent was unknown. If the mpr-
derer cannot pay the kun, his kinsfolk must
do it for him, and the payment and receipt
of this fine is accompanied by q number of
different customs.
There is bill pending in the New York leg
islature which prohibits the sale of cigarettes
to minors and to females" The Albany
Times thus comments upon the measure
There May be some. long haired fanatics to
protest against such determinations against
the sex, but it is not likely they will amount
to anything. For years they have been
those who have protested with all their might
against any legal determinations of this
kind; who have contended that man and
woman were equally human in the sight of
God, and ought to be in the sight of the
law. That they are fed with the same food,
hurt with the same weapons, subject to the
same diseases, healed by the same means,
warmed and cooled by the same winter and
summer as men are; that what is justice for
man is no more nor less than justice for wo-
man; that one has the same right to choice
of government and of governors that the
other has but these theorists are usually in
the minority in the legislature, in the public
press, in society, in the world at large. They
are laughed at and ridiculed, and why should
they be regarded? No, gentlemen of the leg
islaturs, you may not pass the equal suffrage
bill, but it would be perfectly consistent
with the action of your predecessors, at
least, to pass the cigarette bill and throw
another shield around womanhood, which
you SO fear will be contaminated by admis-
sion to the polls. And as from your COM
mittee room goes up tobacco smoke in clouds
thick enough to obscure the sun, let the bill
be amended and strengthened and the penal
ties made as heavy as the constitution will
permit, in order to prevent the sale of cigar
cites to women!

PETER THE GREATS "WILL.,,
The condition of affairs in Europe lends
renewed interest to what is called ssThe will
of Peter the Great The Russian govern
ment pretends that there is no such docu-
ment, but there is not little evidence to
show that there is. It was first known in
Europe one hundred and for
ty years ago. In 1912 clerk
in the French foreign Office secured copy at
great risk to himself, and it has since been
several times reprinted.
This remarkable document points out that
Russias mission is 'Fto establish her rule all
over Europe" And it contains fourteen
instructions" showing how this mission can
be successfully carried out. The first urges
that Russia be kept in constant warfare SO as
to have good soldiers on hand. The next
four concern themselves with relations to va
rious neighboring European States. The
sixth reads: Marry Russian princes with
German princesses, multiply these al
liances, unite these interests, and by the in
crease of our influence attach Germany to our
cause" The seventh advises so much alli-
ancs with England as will increase Russian
commerce and foster the Russian navy The
eighth advises constant extension along the
shores of the Baltic and the borders of the
Euxine. "Do all in your power" says the
ninth, ''to approach closely Constantinople
and India. Remember that he who rules
over these countries is the real sovereign of
the world. Keep up continued wars with
Turkey and with Persia. Establish dock
yards in the Black Sea. Gradually obtain
command of this sea, as well as of the Bal
tic. This is necessary for the complete sue
cess of our projects. Hasten the fall of Per-
sia. Open o route towards the Persian gulf.
Re-establish as much as possible by means of
Syria the ancient commerce of the Lsvant,
and thus advance toward India.
Once there, you will not require
English gold" The tenth and
eleventh instruction" /" urge the use of Aus
tria as catspaw in holding Prussia in
check and in driving the Turks out of Europe.
The twelfth advises Russia to become the
rallying center of the "schismatic Greeks"
in Hungary, Poland, otc. The last two arti-
cles assume the coming of a time when
"Sweden has been dismembered, Persia con-
quered, Poland subjugated, Turkey beaten,
our armies united and the Black and Baltic
seas guarded by our vessels" Then France
and Germany need to be melted to quarrel
which shall ruin both and afford Russia the
opportunity to become mistress of all Eu-
rope, as she will by that time have become
mistress of all Asia
Not little of this interesting scheme has
already been carried out, and it now looks
if another step in the same direction may
be made or, at least, attempted. Russia is a
good deal nearer India than she was, and
much nearer than is pleasant for England.

And the work is all
good, honest, well-hn-
ished work, no slop-

made underwear used
to be, and still is in some
places. The prejudice
against ready-made gar

the fact that the makers
have hitherto aimed
mainly at cheapness, or
rather at low prices,
than at excellence. Now
we can offer garments
SO solidly made and so
neatly finished that any
lady may feel satisfied
to see them in her

Everything, you will
