lin The cZarewitch is described as an ordinary
looking young man, with coarse black hair and
a dark complexion. He is not likely to set the
Don on fire, but if his mind is not remarkable,
he has a kindly heart. Naturally an apprecia-
tion OF his own Importance IS not lacking in
him, 1t is just possible that his fondness for
reading has given him the reputation of being
rather dull among the military potentates of
Europe. The 'bookish tbeorc' is not considered
of much importance by the czarewitchs equals
1t is probable that he will become a brother-in-
law of Emperor William.
FUNNY THING happened just before PAX
| Chung Yung, Corean Minister. left Washington
few days ago. He had been unwell for some
time before his departure and had been taking
qunine. He had reached the station, attended
by the members OF the legation and few
| friends when he discovered that he had left his
! qunne pellets behind him. He lost control of
himself, and nearly went into state of col
lapse on making the discovery. One OF his
secretaries hurried back To the legation to
obtain the medicine, but the train which PAX
was to take had to be delayed nearly fifteen
| minutes on account OF the incident PAX would
not go off without his quinine.

man for his age in America, recently became
| prophetic in print. He wrote book called
The Battle OF the Swash; or, the Capture OF
! Canada, which. being clever satire, has had a
| large sale and attracted much attention The
point of the book is that in 1890 the British
government succeeds in making forced sale Of
| Canada TO the United States by means of the
| eoquence of her ironclads, The Canadian press
has taken the millionaire author to task with
great seriousness in many columns OF editorials,
| but the New York papers general v insist upon
referring to the author as James Barton, evil
! IDENTIFY confusing him with James Parton, much
! 10 his annoyance.
