He was dressed in American clothes, for
he had been here a very long time-a
week. He was awaiting remittances by
an incoming steamship, which would en-
able him to go into business in the coun-
try. The woman wanted to know how
large the river was that flowed through
New York, and what held the bridges up
on which the railroad trains ran. She
imagined that the elevated roads were
gigantic bridges. What will she think
when she sees the Brooklyn Bridge and
its trains of cable cars in motion?
Ivan Godoviski is ninety-tw years
old, and spry as a man of fifty. His
beard is as white as snow and his hair
is a good match. Old Ivan has crossed
the ocean no less than sixteen times dur
ing his life, and now, at the advanced
age of almost a century, he comes to
our shores as an immigrant. He has but
little money, but his stock of pluck and
courage is as great as it was before most
of the readers of the Ecening Sun were
born, and he says he will go into busi-
ness in New York and lay up something
upon which to live when he becomes too
old to work. His former visits to
America were made in the interest of
his business as a furrier in Odessa, on
the Black Sea. He was worth an inde-
pendent fortune at the age of forty, but,
like many other men, sought to increase
it. He became involved in political
troubles about fifteen years ago, and his
property was confscated. He left Odessa
and went to the south of France, but.
of success there, returned to
his native town and commenced busi-
ness all over again. Another failure re-
suited, through no fault of his own, and
now, at an age when most men are laid
in their graves, he starts out in life anew,
in the land of the free.-Mew York

A Very Artful Dog.

"speaking of dogs" said gentleman
to Cincinnati TSmes-St0r reporter,
''there is little fox terrier owned by
one of my acquaintance. His mistress
thought so much of him that, when he
was pup, she used to bathe him every
day. First she would bathe the baby,
then the dog would be given his douse
in the water. But she never used the
CASTLE soap. which was reserved exclu-
sively for the baby, on the dog. He,
poor animal, had to be, content with ivory
soap. This discrimination evidently an
noyed the terrier. The other day his
mistress saw him go upstairs little be-
fore the hour for the bath.
"She followed on tip-toe to see what
he was doing. She saw him 60 to the
bathroom, pick up the cake of ivory in
his mouth and drop it out of the window.
His mistress, just previous to the bath,
secured the soap and put it in her pock-
ct. When the dogs turn in the tub
came, he deliberately picked up the castillo
soap, and wagged his tail joyously as he
put it in his mistress's hand. Then she
produced the ivory soap. You should
have seen the poor dog. He was utterly
woebegone and crestfallen. Never saw
dog look so cheap in my lfe."

Baby Smokers.

In an article in the Courier Journal on
smoking, Frank Carpenter says: The
baby smokers of the world are found in
Siam and Burmah. I saw little tots of
four, trotting about Bangkok with Gig
arettes in their mouths, and the babies
of Rangoon and Mandalay are taught to
chew the betel nut, mixed with tobacco,
as soon as they are weaned. The Siamese
children, like their fathers, use their ears
as cigarette ond cigar-holders, and the
lack of clothing or pockets on the part of
the little ones necessitates their carrying
these articles over their ears, as the Ameri-
can clerk carries his pencil or pen. I saw
one noble Siamese boy with a shaved
head and string about his waist, who
had cigarette over each ear and another
in his mouth. After few moments he
threw away the cigarette in his mouth
and began to chew betel, squirting out
the blood-red saliva until he made pud-
die in the road beside him. His father,
who was with him, was also smoking,
and his mother had cigarette between
her lips. When the party went away the
mother took up the naked smoking boy,
and, balancing him on her side, walked
off, both smoking as they went. The
thousand odd women who make up the
harem of the Siamese King all smoke and
chew, and it takes good part of his Ma
jesty's ten million dollars year to pay
his tobacco bill. Each lady has to have
her betel spittoon, which is of decorated
china, the size of coffee cup, and if she
is favorite, she has also silver box IL
which to carry her tobacco and betea

"Think over your wild conduct, sleep
over it, and see me on the MORROW.
This must not be; this woman ten4oter
must be seen to-"
The Gear waved his hand, to indi-
cate that the audience was at an end
and that the General was not free to
speak again.
With white face, compressed lips
and dangerous flash in his brave
black eyes, the gallant young soldier
withdrew from the presence of his
sovereign.
"Linwold," said the Gear, looking
up at the Count, when General Paul
had gone out of hearing, "this is as
bad as Nihilism."
"Fully as bad, your Majesty; it is
open treason"
"But I shall cure the youngster of it.
He must get over his absurd love.
Know you this Pulaski?"
Il knew him before his disgrace" re-
piled the Count, "and your Majesty
may remember I ihterceded for his
pardon two years ago."
II am sorry you did"
"And so am I, sire"

crime, SIRE"

"Yes; see that it is attended to"
"Your Majesty shall be obeyed."
@And as for this-this adventures,
We shall see that she is at once dis
missed from the palace. Our daughter
in-law, the Princess Dagmar, is not
over-careful in her selection of instruct
ors for her children"
The Czar turned, and, preceded by
four pages and followed by Count Lin
void and the others, he left the au-
dience chamber.
Count Linwold could have told the
Gear, but he did not, that the clause In
the late Prince of Moskevas will was
inserted by him, Count Linwold, With
out tho Pripea's kaQYledgs4sna tor thS
purpose of allying his own daughter
with that mighty house.
The Count now saw that he could
bring General Paul to terms or ruin
him, and he determined boldly to use
his power while he was sure OF it.
In the meantime he would carry out
the Emperor's orders, and remove one
of the stumbling blocks-Lola's old
father-whom he imagined to be in his
way.

in several languages. There were four
girls and one boy in the group, and they
had come all the way from little ham,
let near Glasgow, Scotland: thus oddly
labeled. The tags told who they were,
where they were going, to whom they
were to be delivered in America, and also
certified that their fare had been paid to
the steamship company that forwarded
them.
The children were looking for the first
time at the wonders of the new country
into which they had been sent. Only one
or two of them were old enough to under
stand the change from their native land.
The camera secured a negative of the
interesting group, and it is reproduced
above.
The history of the little party is as fol-
lows: John Young, a miner at Cool
Glen, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, is
the father of the girls, he came to this
country few years since from Scotland ,
and left his wife and family there, to fol-

to America a year ago from Hungary.
He started a hand-organ route, and gath
cred in money sufficient to purchase pea
nut and fruit stand. Then he bought a
fruit store, and to-day is doing good
business on the East Side. His wife and
baby were waiting until he should come
to meet them. There was celebration
in at least one family in this town last
evening, and this happy reunion was the
cause of it.
Tell me, Balbus, where, oh where is
the Circassian beauty's -stiffened
hair? Circassian girls in museums al
ways have hair that sticks straight up all
over their heads, and it always stands
that way: but no one. even though he
watched the door of museum for
month, ever saw a Circassian girl emerge

low him as soon as he should have earned
money enough to send for them. He
sent for them two months ago, but before
his letter reached Scotland, his wife had
died and Jeanette, aged eleven years, was
left in charge of her three little sisters.
Of these, Ellen was but triae over four
years of age; Jane just past eight years,
and Katie not quite ten. Alexander
King, aged fifteen years, but boy quite
small for his years, was the only acqualnt-
ance the orphans had near their home,
and boy though he was, he came .bravely
to their assistance in their hour of need.
He wrote letter to Mr.. Young immedi.
ately on receipt of his letter summoning
his family to America, and informed him
that as all five could travel at a less rate
than Mrs. Young and the four girls could
have done, he proposed, through the aid
of the steamship company at Glasgow, to

and then look about for something to do
for himself, since he, also, had lost his
parents.

parents.

With the money Mr.. Young had sent
young King purchased steerage tickets to
New York and landed here with money
enough left to pay the railroad fares OF
the party to Cool Glen, Penn, where Mr.
Young met them on their arrival. Be,
fore the little travellers sailed the agent OF
the Fulda attached to each card or tag
giving name, age, destination, and route
all the way through.
Jeanette said that she got along very
we'll, except that the two youngest chill
dren were very sick coming over. She
was eager for the meeting with her
father, which was to be the greatest event
of her life. The party left by the Penn
sylvania Railroad for Cool Glen.
"Here are two specimens. said Major
Semsey, of the Garden, "the like Of
whom very rarely come to this country.
They are Slovacs, and come from the
highlands in the east of Slavonia, in
Hungary, on the borders of the land of
Galicia, which is an Austrian possession.
These men speak the oldest language
known to exist to-day. The Slavonic
tongue, with its eight or ten dialects, is
spoken by these men. We call them
Slovacs."
The immigrants referred to came for
ward from seat in the large room at
the beck of Major Semsey. They
were clad in loose-ftting blouses OF
homespun woolen cloth. They wore
fur caps of turban shape upon their
heads and were most peculiar looking
people. Each of these men speaks several
dialects of his own language, besides

of a Circassian family at Castle Garden
was taken. It shows that the costumes
of the woman was pretty and quaint.
She wore plaid shawl over her head and
her bodice and skirt were of brilliant
colors, but she hadn't stand-up hair. Her
hair was long and straight, but soft
as silk, and reached to her waist and be-
low. There wasn't the slightest resem-
blance between her and any museum
Circassians ever seen: but she was better
looking than any of them. Her husband
was a round-taced, tall, lanky individual,
with little squinty eyes and short hair.

Five little red-cheeked children stood

Their eyes were red from crying. The

that everything possible was done to
make them comfortable. They had just

to come ashore. Upon the breast of each

The modern names of sizes of books
are derived from the folding of paper.
When the sheet is not folded, it is called
a folio-and this size was very fashiona-

becomes quarto; another double consti-
tutes the octave of eight sheets or six

CHAPTER VI.
THE CZAR.

THE GEAR.
Peter the student delivered his mes
sage, or warning, the details of which
we shall pass over for the present, and
General Paul dismissed him.
Ii the story of impending danger
made any impression on the gallant
young soldier it was not visible in his
face.
He attended to some official duties,
and was about to leave his Office, when
messenger, dressed as a courier of
the Czar, entered and handed him
note.
"From the Emperor" exclaimed
General Paul. Then in his ordinary
tones he added: Announce that I
shall seek his Majesty's presence at
once"
With soldierly promptness the Gen
eral went TO the royal apartments, and
on entering the ante-room gave his
his card to the gentleman in waiting.
The gentleman returned in few Sec
onds to soy that his Majesty desired
Prince Paul to remain.
The Prince, or rather General Paul,
to give him the name in which he most
delighted. was about to sit down on
one of the many luxurious chairs that
lined the ante-room wall, when Prince
Alexis, son of the Emperor, entered
and saluted him.
They had been schoolmates, SO they
met with the familiarity of friends and
equals.
"I am glad to meet you, General" t"
said Prince Alexis, "for I wanted to
congratulate you"
II am always glad to meet your
bighness," replied the General, "but I
am not aware of any special reason for
congratulations"
Wheel mans engaged to be mar
ried," laughed the Prince, "he is usu.
ally glad to have the happy event
known"
Pardon me, but my engagement to
the Countess Linwold-"
"One of my fairest cousins, by the
mass" said the Grand Duke, with an
other laugh.
II was going to say we were engaged
by my uncle and the father of the
Countess when We were little children,

"Aye, but Count Linwold and my
father have to-day decided that official
publicity shall be given to the matter.

never fits the man. However. it is the

eyes, Doctor; T am to meet him here
tonight, and will show him that if
Lola does this it means her death,
whether she fail or succeed: then [
will propose that he ana draw lots so
as to save her. He will scorn my
offer"
"Of course he will, Peter. But
surely you do not mean to have our
friend, the gallant General, put out of
the way. Curse them all! yet he has
been our friend" said the Doctor, with
show of feeling.
Friend or no friend, I do not care
snap. K am working for Peter the
student. But I propose to warn the
General. The plan will be to let Ivan
make the attempt, then the rope or
Siberia for life,
"And this will give you Lola and
give me the fair Elizabeth"
"Wait and see. If we work into ia
vor with the powers that be, then We
can have Madam Berger paid her for
tune and the Pulaski estates returned.
Oh, see It all through to the end, but
we must be careful. Now, hide in the
next recess, for it is time for Ivan to
be here, and he is ever rs prompt as
soldier"
As Peter the student ceased speak
ing a quick step was heard on the stone
floor near the door; the Doctor sprang
into another recess and let fall cur
tain, and the next instant Ivan Berger
appeared.
Peter pretended to be very glad to
see him, but the young noble, for such
Ivan was by birth, met him with a
naughty civility, and said, as he sat
down:
'. LET us at once proceed to bud-
ness"
evil you not first have glass OF
wine?" asked Peter, making as If he
would tap q dirty little bell on the
table.
= sThanks; never drink" said Ivan
i sAh, I forgot that. Drinking is
habit which oil doctors preach agains1
iand most doctors practice. But let ut

-: Peter laid his hands on the table
and bent over, 50 as to bring his fsct
closer to Ivan's, and then he began to
untold his plans. ..
