Archduchesses Stephanie and Marguerite
the two inseperables" as they are called
the one paints, the other writes music. Both
are charming girls, and the joy of Vienna
and Pesth.
The Archduchess Valera, the daughter of
the emperor, writes pleasing verses. She
has written novelties, and is the author of
comediettas played at the imperial palace
on the occasion of family festivities. The
queen of Italy is also literary; she writes
much OF her impressions. but these are read
only by intimate friends. IL is interesting
to know of her that she reads and writes,
sings and plays all by herself for three hours
every day, from O'Clock in the morning
until IL O'clock; that four booksellers send
her every day from Leipsic, from London,
from Paris, from Rome the most impor-
tant publications IN literature, art
and science; that she reads rapidly and
remembers great deal that she IS much
interested in science and keeps up With its
progress with ali the eager curiosity OF an
active mind; that in literature she is eclec-
TIC, but that she prefers what is manly,
strong and lofty; that she dishkes the liter
allure which Is cold, unsympathet1c, which
analyses and dissscts brutally, without pity
and without shame, and that she knows
Latin and Greek; that she speaks huently
and Is fond of the English language, and Is
devoted to the English literature.
When she has read good book, or lis
tened to fine music, she writes her own i'm
pressins for herself, trying to fix by words
her artistic emotions As a rule, however,
queens who have families to bring up do
not pay great attention TO literature. The
queen of England Is not an exception, for it
Is only since her children we're provided for
that she got into the literary habit. The
queen of Roumania is childless, and her lit
erary activity has been developed since her
bereavement; her life is now devoted in
great part to the interests Of her Rouman-
ian enid subjects, and now, without hope
OF presenting her country with an heir, she
strives to leave a lasting impression upon
her husbands subjects through her charm
ing literary work

No mother should allow her daughter to

woe if she once bigin to wear them, for
then she will not be able to do without

weakened it cannot dispense with the false

young girl with slight, supple, yet firm
figure, certainly needs no corset, and n wo-
man, however stout she may be, will always
look tleshier and sitter in stays than with

Frost in Siberia.
E,.nnn The Nom York Grnnhfc.

from me Net0 ! orr 6Tuphtc
Over fifty years ago Russian mere liant
in Yakutsk Siberia, decided that he would
no longer draw water from the Lena river,
as everybody did in that far northern
town, but he would dig well and have
water at his own door So he set to work
with pick and shovel After his men had
dug through the few feet of earth that had
been thawed by the summer sun they de-
clared they struck solid rock. 1t was only
frozen soil, however, and the merchant
kept them at work all that summer. Next
year he courageously resumed work, ex
pecting every foot he dug to get through
the frozen Garth; but after penetrating 105
feet in solidly frozen soil he covered the
big hole with boards and decided that river
water was good enough for him.
The imperial academy of sciences at st.
Petersburg heard this remarkable story
and they thought it good idea to see how
far frost extended to the center of the earth
at Yakutsk. So they sent men to resume
digging, and kept up the work for many
months. When they reached depth of
1882 feet, and were still in solidly frozen
ground, they gave up the job, carefully
covered the well to exclude the external air
and finally sent scientific man to take the
temperatures throughout the well. From
these observations the conclusion was
reached that the ground on which Yakutsk
STANDS except rev IeeG al tne surface,
which thaws out in the summer, is perpetu-
ally frozen to depth of 612 feet.
In that region the greatest depth of per-
manently frozen soil in northern ATTITUDES
doubtless exists, and the reason is that there
is found the greatest cold that has been ex-
perienced in northern ATTITUDES. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that the weather is colder
the farther north one goes. The northern
| pole OF greatest cold Is only about 300 miles
northeast of Yakutsk, where the mean an
nual temperature is little lower than in
| the highest ATTITUDES reached by Mares and
| Greedy 1000 miles farther north.

DEFENDING TRUSTS.

Republican Decay Illustrated by tho Ut
terances Of Party Leaders.
The position OF the Republican party
towards the questions that are OF the
most vital Importance to the masses Of
tho American people has been stated
by the two acknowledged leaders of the
party in two pithy sentences. Whole
volumes could not have stated the case
more thoroughly or made it more clear
to the dullest comprehension.
The question is before the people
whether the masses shall be able to buy
their clothing more cheaply, or whether
they shall have the privilege of getting
more whisky for less money. Shall the
working-man be able TO clothe himself
and his family warmly and decently
with his wages or shall he be able to
get gloriously drunk for what a single
drink now costs him.
Mr. Harrison, the Republican nomi-
nee for President. says: II have no
sympathy with this demand for a
cheaper coat.
The curse OF the present time is the
formation of trusts to monopolize
business in different lines, to restrict
production, force up prices and give
the monopolists absolute power over
the customer at one end and over tho
employe at the other; to make the con-
sumer pay whatever the trust" de-
mands for the article and to make the
worker who produces it take whatever
wages the trust" offers. There Is
scarcely an article In daily use by the

labor of Canada at II cheap price, and
what few Americans there are that
work for US have to compete with the
Frenchmen. Now, il the Mills bill
should pass. with lumber on the free
list, there is no doubt that it would
stimulate the lumber business to some
extent in Canada. consequently their
men would get more work and better
wages at home and would not flock
over here SO much. That would give
our laboring men a better show and
better wages here.
The same operator goes on to say
what every intelligent student of the
wages question knows, that wages are
governed entirely by the relation be-
tween supply and demand. when
there is a large quantity of logs" he
says, Ito drive down the Kennebec, as
was the case few years ago, driving
wages are high. And it is just the
same in all branches of the business,
and in fact in every business. When
business is dull. and we can not sell our
goods, We have to shut down our mills.
Give us all the market you can, both
at home and abroad. When we can
ship spruce deals to England, as we do
some years, and spruce and pine lum-
Der to South America, our home mar
ket is always better, our mills are then
running lively and our men are then
all employed" Detroit Free Press.

Foraker's Asinine Bray.

Reason Is not an appropriate weap-
on with which to punish such fellows
as Foraker. He blats and bellows and
astonishes small children. Old women
look on him with wonder. No one
has charged him with fcalty to any
man or idea. He had the honor Of be-
ing watched by his own friends at Chi
cago. That much has not been said
even to Blaine, who has been disin-
genuous for twenty years.
But since Foraker makes noise so
loud there must be II reply. He is not u
canary bird; he is an Ass. 1t is not Il
song; it is a bray; and if the reader
would know why it be ii bray, and
what it means, the Herald must be pre-
pared with its answer.
All there is of Foraker's bray-when
he is not insulting womcn-i is that there
were rebels; that rebels still exist; that
armies ought to march Southward and
whip them again. In other words, if
there be Union it ought TO cease, and
be as it was when John Morgan came
up after Foraker.
Because there is Union Foraker is
noisy. He learned to sing his song in
the times when there was no Union,
and an ass, as every one knows, has
but one piece in his repertory. Chicago
