Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" One wonders that the cZar of
Russia does not follow the example of
Charles V, and free himself from a life
of continual apprehension. Is the life
worth living which must be sustained by
such precautions as those narrated be-
low? Yes, if thereby one serves his gen
Grafton. London Truth says:
1t was given out that he would be the
guest of the German emperor at the
Marble palace, Potsdam, and when all
kinds of expensive preparations had been
made there, he decided he would be
safer in Berlin, and large sum was ex-
pended in arranging for his reception at
the Schloss.
Finally, only one day before the en-
peror arrived, Count Schouvaloff re-
ceived telegram from Copenhagen to
intimate that his majesty would alight
at the Russian embassy, and the message
was quickly followed by the arrival of
the imperial workmen. seven in number,
who now go III advance of the emperor
whenever and wherever he travels.
There are two carpenters, two masons,
two locksmiths and foreman. They
most carefully examine the chimneys,
locks, flooring, walls and furniture of
the house which the emperor is to Occu-
py, and his own apartments are subject
ed to a most rigorous search.
The chimneys are objects of special
attention, and every flue which leads to
Il room which the emperor is likely to
enter is thoroughly barred both top and
bottom, and, as if these precautions
were not sufficient, police agents from
St. Petersburg patrol the roof both day

Among the Piutes it is always the
father -in-law that makes the trouble.
Every married Piute is always glad
of a visit from his mother-in- law. He
welcomes her with his broadest grin.
The arrival of the mother-in-law gives
him a double team, where before he
had only one animal. He halls her
appearance with delight, and piling
a jackass load of wood upon her
willing old back, sends her into town
with his wife, similarly packed, to
peddle out the fuel and bring back to
him supply of money for his favorite
game of poker The Piute father-in- law
is no use as wood packer, nor will he
gather grass seeds or pine nuts.-Eir-

Spartan Sociology.

Every student of history knows that
the Spartans worshiped the beautiful
and the useful, and that they took the
means to get them. Bodily perfection
and mental activity were attained by
well appointed exercise and healthy pa
rents. The sickly and the constitutionally
diseased were not allowed to marry: the
healthy were punished if they did not
marry. Men that We're unmarried after
a certain age were excluded from the
society of women, and once year were
exhibited in public as a warning to other
and younger men. Young men and
young women were not allowed to marry
before they had attained maturity or cut
loose from parental leading strings. This
Spartan system, which was purely for
the welfare of the state. was in force for
500 years. and no braver nor stronger
men, no more healthy nor more bcauti-
ful women, were ever seen than in old
Sparta Few would wish to see Spartan
ism revived in these days, but we may
learn some valuable lessons from that
ancient state.
We may also learn something from
our newly born sister republic, Brazil,
posed family custom III regard to mar
riages in the higher classes. The man
about to marry is required TO furnish u
certificate from one or more physicians
that he is free from diseases of a certain
class, and that he is free also from ali
signs of any of the diseases that are
transmissible to the offspring, and fur
ther than this, the physicians must teo-
tify that SO far as they can learn there Is
no reason to believe that the marriage
will be otherwise than in accord with
sanitary laws. We, as people. are
taking more interest in the proper kinds
of physical culture than before. Our
women are coming to know that they
can dress just as well without distorting
their bodies and inperiling their health.
But the day of the truly sanitary mar
riage is a long way off. Meanwhile a
great many people are getting married
that should remain single.-Chicago

1t is stated that the renowned cOllec-
tion of medieval instruments of torture
at Nuremberg has been sold to a London
company Prima facie we should doubt
that the municipality Of a town SO IA
NOUS for its antique relics would be will
ing-or, indeed, would bc pcrmitted-to
dispo-e of collection unique, so far as
we know. Nor do the projects of the
London company, as described, incline
us to faith. But the report is circum-
stantial. Our enterprising fellow citi-
zens propose to exhibit their treasures in
the chief towns of Europe, and then to
put them up for auction. Furthermore,
it is asserted that the authorities of Ber-
lin already look forward to the sale, and
mediate buying the lot in bulk.
Doubtless an exhibition of appliances
for torture, authenticated by at least the
belief of generations, would draw pro-
digiously. 1t is strange how few instru-
ments of the sort survive possessing Sc
rious claims to confidence. Our own
specimens in the Tower are just as au-
thentic as the block on which, as the
worthy beef eater declares, Anne Boleyn
lost her head. 1t is easy to understand
that the governor or officials in charge
of an old state prison would destroy such
terribly irritating objects if they had
time, when threatened by events that
might lead to an exposure. Thus we are
not surprised to learn that no machinery
for torture was discovered in any of the
Inquisition buildings that have been
seized. But there are SO many cases
where it seems improbable that they
would have removed or broken them up,
that one is led to suspect the executioner
may have kept his smaller instruments,
at least, in his own quarters.-London
