Novel rheory of Massage.

We know massage Is beneficial as we
know the tongue to he coated in certain
feyers, but why this occurs may puzzle
many TO whom the mysteries of pfIysiol-
ogy ure too tightly sealed. In q word,
then, the theory of massage is lJased not
only upon the known effects already re-
ferred to, but upon the hypothesis Of the
direct alteration in the structure of cells.
In disease the cell walls in the animal It's.
sue become hypertropLied. The formative
material or nucleus IS imprisoned IN an
inapeneratrable sheath through which
nourishnlent cannot be carried. This
hypertTophy CT the cell wall IN llatholo4
gical conditions is identical with that
which results by slow process FROM the
advancement of age. Massage breaks
down this llypertropilied condition OF the
cell wallAy mechanical means. creating
assures through which nourishnent
forces its way to the nucleus within.
Theoretically. if massage could be applied
to every cell of the body, there would be
no reason why VIC should ever grow old;
but, this being practically impossible. Iyo
must be content with The moro limited
benefits it bestows, which. however, ara
important and considerable. = Medical

SIGNED the Lori,s Prnyer.

How easy it is in Russia to get a high
officials signature to any sort of docu-
a1ent may be illustrated by an anecdote
that have every reason to believe is ab-
solutely true. A '.stola nachalnill, ;" or
head of bureau, in the provincial adj
.rninistration of Tobolsk, while boasting
one day about his power to shape and
direct governmental action, made a
wager with another. cbinovnik that he
could get the governor of the province
the late governor Lissogorski to sign a
manuscript copy of the Lords Prayer.
He wrote the prayer out in The form of
an official document on q sheet of stamp
ed paper, numbered it, attached the
proper seal to it, and handed it to the
governor with pile of other papers
which required signature. He won his
wager. Tho governor duly signed the
Lords Prayer, and it was probably as
harmless an official document as ever
came out of his George KEENAN,
in The Century.

rol,eo surreillnnce IN Russia.

The only shade of discomfort which an
American may meet in travelling in Rus
sia comes from their system of espionage,
and that is more in imagination than
reality. Probably no country Ill Europe
has such thorough system of police sur
veillance.
As soon rs you reach their border your
passport is given up and registered.
When you arrive at Your hotel you give
it up again and it is at once sent to police
headquarters, and You are again regis
tered. Whenever you change your loca-
ton you do the same thing, and in this
way the landlord everywhere is made
responsible to the government for the
foreigners under his roof. Then, when
you wish to leave the country, You
must again send your passport
to the police office and obtain
permit, which is good for only
three days, and which is attached 10 your
passport and removed at the last Russian
station on the Austrian or German from
tier. So that your passport contains 4
complete record of when and where YOU
entered the country, just where you have
been and how long You have remained
ness of being watched. and You probably
are not, when the authorities are once
satisfied as regards Your nationality and
good character. And after all the plots
that have been formed against the gov
ernmcnt i'll foreign countries, is it any
wonder that they should consider these
precautions necessary ry?--uenry NJ Wright

American yyupen in London.

The presence of American women in
London society has had an influence on
conversation as it has on other things.
Youth and beauty and cleverness are
often to be found in the same person; it
would be wonderful if they were not to
be found in the same group. The Amer
lean girl who narries in England has be-
gun life earlier than her English cousin.
She has met men and even talked to
them while yet unmarried. thing which
few English girls venture to do. She
has probably lived III Paris; part of her
education is French; she knows three of
the great capitals of the world; her ideas
are not boun led by the horizon of May
fair. She is fresh, original, indcpentl-
ent. She cannot always be clever, but
she has been taught to think for herself,
and never was there more apt pupil in
that science. Above all, perhaps; she
was not born into respect for rank, or
even for royalty, and she catches there
fore at once that note of equality which
is essential to social success-in London
as much as anywhere in the werld-as
well as to intellectual freedom.
1twas always said that the secret or
one secret of American popularity in
royal circles was in this American free
dom from the purely conventional no
ton about royalty which prevails in
England. a girl from New York TALKED
10 the Prince OF Wales as if royalty had
no more rights than republicanism. She
spoke her mind, as she expected tie
prince to speak his. don't know tl,at
he always did, but lie was delighted by
the girls frankness. It is many years
since he began tocovet American society,
and there has never been a time when
there was not some one or more Amer
lean women who; in the current phrase
of London, had TO be asked if you
wanted the prince.-G. W. SmaIley In
