The report comes from Russia that
the Gar is about to promulgate a
constitution. It is intimated that this
important step would have been taken
last year but for the difficulties with
England in regard to the Afghan
boundary. The statement has even
been made by some who profess to be
informed that the Asiatlc question
was precipitated in its most recent
phase by opponents of the proposed
reform. Considering the personal re-
lations of the Gar to his people it is
not at all singular that he should
endeavor to conciliate them by a
measure such as that proposed, though
such action on his part would mark a
step in advance for which the world
has not been quite prepared. To
those, however, who recall the great
emancipation act issued by the pres
ent Cars father Ia 1851, there should
be no cause for establishment in the
fact that the crown should take the
further step indicated in the endeavor
to strengthen itself with the people.
Nothing is known as yet as to the
scope of the proposed constitution,
and any opinion as to its possible
effect would be premature.

We'll, I've looked the thing over
pretty thoroughly, and I've sizsd uo
a good many of the men who are most
frequently called b. high sounding
titles, and I've got plan by which I
can designate every man of title as
soon as lay my eye on him Now,
mind. there are many honorable exs
ceptons; but if you would like to
know the way how to tell man with
a title so as 10 address him just right
III tell you Just what to do. And
mind its pretty dangerous thing to
call man by title below the grade
to which he thinks he belongs"
Il really would like to have the re
oipe."
"All right. When you see little.
Insignificant looking man taking long
strides, aud wearing plug hat, IS he
is over 80 years, you address him as
captain
IF he's pretty stout, and has a
plain red nose, and smells of bad
whlskey and cob pipe, he is ma
jor'
IF a man is large framed, or only
very tall, ana has red nose With a
wart upon the side of it, you will be
dead safe in calling him colonel
Now, if the man is large, or, as l
said before, only tall, and has grey
mustache or beard, drinks his whisky
straight, and good big drink at that;
If he has loud voice and very red
nose with two warts upon it, he's a
general every time, and don't YOU
ever seem to forget the fact!'
Judges are little harder to place.

Well, he knew that to carry this
mans message was to separate him
self from Maude forever Never
would she let him marry the widow
of a murderer. Very rapidly all OF
the terrible facts passed one after the
other through his brain, at last he
said:
''If you love her, why add a misery

the old pain you have caused her;
why, for selfish qualification, will
you make her whole life misery2'

She is not your wife. Your own
crimes have released her from any
allegiance to y@u, said Langton,
sterply.
"You know herr"
Yes I know what she has suf>
fered, and beg of you to let her still
believe you died many years ago."
"She is happy9'
Scarcely that. Such cruel wounds
as hers never heal entirely; but it is

sit is hard to deny myself one more
sight of her face, and the hope I had
that she would say she forgave me.
Think of her, not yourself"
There was a long silence in the
cell.
Every throb of Gerald Langton' s
heart was pain to him; but Alexan-
der Hull sat in moody silence, evident
ly reluctant to give up his wish.
At last he spoke:
"You have been very good to rue.

sonal reason for your request. Per-
haps you love her2'

promised to be my wife,

other world that the little last self

When Maude, a few weeks later,
became his wife. she little guessed
the terrible ordeal which her noble
husband had spared.

The MaeIstrem.
Inter Ocean.

The naelstrom, which means 1lter~
ally translated, grinding stream" is
the most remarkable whirlpool ia the
world. It is situated on the Norweg>
ian coast, just south west of the Lotto
den Isles. 1t runs between the Isl
lands Moskenes and large solitary
rock in the middle Of the straits. The
strong currents rushing between the
Great West Fjord and the outer
ocean through the channels of the
Lofoden Isles produce a number of
whlrlpools, of which the maelstrem is
by far the most dangerous. Such ex~
travagant stories have been told of
this eddy-how everything that ents
ers the border of its current is Instant
ly sucked down into a bottomless
abyss-tbat its very existence has
been doubted. However. an exams
nation was made of it in 1859 by the
Norwegian photographic survey, and
an official report made. From this
report We learn that in summer the
current is comparatively calm for
short time at food or ebb tide, when
boats may venture upon it. In calm
weather steamers can cross it at any
state of the tide, or large ships, if a
steady wind is blowing. But In win
ter or in storms il is highly dangerous
for any vessel to try to pass the whirl-
pool. During storm from the west,
for instance, the current runs contin-
ually to the east at a rate of SIX knots
an hour, without changing it's direc-
tions for rising Or falling tide, and
the stream will boil and eddy in auch
mighty wairls that the largest steam
could hardly contend successfully
with the waters. Of course, the dang
er is not of suction into the heart of
the whirlpool, as legends have sup
posed, but of being dashed to pieces
against the rocks. Dead whales are
sometimes thrown upon the neighbor-
ing coast which have evidently been
killed in this way. The depth of the
whirlpool is only twenty fathoms,
but just outside the straits soundings
reach from 100 TO 200 fathoms.

A MONEY DRESSER.
How One Man Makes Living in the
Great Metropolis.
New York Sur

An old coin man visits the offices
of the elevated railroad every few
days to purchase the worn and plugged
coin taken IN at the stations, and re-
fused at the banks. as we'll as the
foreign coin. He also buys up the
mutilaued silver, nickels, and coppers
that are dropped by absent-minded
passengers into the gate boxes. There
are many persons who, on getting
their change with ticket at the wins
dow of the ticket Office, Will carefully
put the ticket IN their pockets, and
will drop their change in the toll col
lector's box. Some ladies drop their
pocketbooks In, while they hold their
tickets with great care. Inside Of each
box, there is cylinder full of teeth,
and when a piece of coin gets into
the receptacle below, it has two holes
in Il or is clipped at the edges. Every
day the mass of mutllated tickets is
overhauled IN the main office before
being sent into the waste, and these
coins are sifted out. From five to
fifty dollars day have been picked
out IN this way. The money is SO
mutilated that it can not be passed,
and it is sold to the old coin man for
about 70 cents on the dollar.
This curious speculator sometimes
carries away 5000 or $500 worth of
such coin. He calls himself money
dresser" business which he insists
is just as Legitimate as that of "cofs
fee polisher," or dry goods dresser.
He beats out the twisted and bruised
coin, cleans the soiled copper, bright>
ems the foreign coin, and goes on his
tour to dispose of his goods. The
foreign money is sold to the stewards
of foreign vessels, and the poor Ameri-
can coin is worked of at the cattle
yards and sent out west. Much of it
finds its way into the hands of the
cowboys, who spend it as freely as
though it were fresh from the mint.
The money dresser" searches his
purchases very carefully, and coca
sionally finds an old coin that pays
him several hundred per cent. profit
when resold to collectors of rare
coins.

IN THE NEXT ROOM

In the dim and early morning,
Ere the bells had given warning,
can hear her bare feet patting
On her chambers humble mating;
Hear the ice clink in the basin
That she laves her lovely face in,
And, by dinU of studious guessing,
The slight hustle of her dressing.
Then at evening can hear her
Place her lamp beneath her mirror,
And remove the combs combining
Her soft hair in bandeaux shining,
Then ] list moment later,
Till / hear her tiny gaiter,
Fitting for its fair deposit,
Tossed into the corner closet,
Oft l hear her silvery laughter
Echoing from the cobwebbed rafter,
As, worn out with silence lonely,
Talks she with her sweet self only:
And 1t minds me of a swallow
In the balmy ewes that follow
June's sweet month of leafy glory,
TWittering many a sweet love story
Soft and tender and impassioned,
From the caves nest it has fashioned.

The Royal Baking Powder is considered by all chemists
and food analysts to be marvel of purity, strength and

powder before the public free from lime and absolutely pure
This is due largely TO the improved method by the use
of which it has been made possible to produce perfectly
pure cream of from which all the lime has been
eliminated.
This chemically pure cream OF tartar is exclusively
employed in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder
so that its absolute freedom from lime and a other
extraneous substances is guaranteed
Professor McNurtre late chemist in chief to the U. s.

cream of tartar of the market testified the absolute
purity of that used in the Royal Baking Powder as follows
"I have examined the of tartar manufactured by
the New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal

DENVER, Juno 25.--The following
particulars Of the Indian trouble in tLa
southern part Of the State have just
been received: Saturday evening q
party of Indians camped on Beaver
Creek 80 miles west of Durago, got
into an alteration with cowboys
about horses which the cowboys
claimed the Indians were trying
to steal. One Indian ran to a tepee
where there were three bucks, ons
sqaw and one papoose. The cowboys fol-
lowed and opened fire upon the In
dams il the tepee, killing the four
bucks, the squaw and the papoose ana
wonaading q boy W W got 6,a away That at
Montesum ns valley, 20 miles
distant, man named Genther sat
reading. with his wife preparing for
bed, tneir children being asleep.
| The wife heard noise, ran out and
found the house on fire. Genther came
out, nut out tho fire and was shot, re-
ceiy1ng seven bullet wounds. His wife
ran to assist him and was shot in the
shoulder. Before he died Genther told
her to get the children out of the
house and to hide herself in the brush
until the Indians departed. Secreted
by the darkness with four small chii,
dren crying, an infant in her arms and
leading another, she wandered all
night through the sage brush, bare
footed and in her night clothes, finally
reaching neightor's house. The In
| dams helped themselves 70 whatever
they wanted. Mrs. Genther, at last
accounts, was in q very critical condi..
ton. The body of Genther was burned
to a crisp.
The Times special reported 500 In.
dams ready to make war If the result
OF the Investigation now being made
by the agent is unsatisfactory. The
| Indians were seen moving westward
on Monday and Tuesday, followed by
two companies OF cavalry. The whole
country is terribly excited.
