How Petty Officials in Russia Swindle

How Petty Officials in Russia Swindle
Trusting Fradesmen.
Full four-ffths of the officials of st.
Petersburg receive less than $50
month. Most of them have houseful
of children, and they must all spend
part of the year in town, where lodgings
and provisions are expensive. have at
last got a cIew to the mystery how they
manage it. 1t is all done on credit.
The creditof petty official is practical
ly inexhaustible He and the majority
of his compeers live-at least in the
country-at the expense of credulous
tradesmen. Their spouses, especially,
are born geniuses in this department OF
industry.
From the very beginning" says a
well-known publicist, they established
their household on basis of fraud. In
their houses strangers are sure to be
taken in. Every man, woman and child
who comes in contact with them is
plucked like an elder duck"
Most of these people pay only half the
rent coyenanted for, and some manage
to get their meals thrown in. The
tradesmen. who compete with each other
suicidally, wipe out their last year
debts rather than run their heads into
new nooses.
The peddlers and bagmen, who are
continually strolling about these places
with their bags of wares on their backs,
are not too small flies for the spiders
webs woven by those gentlemen. The
lady of the house or her worthy spouse
holds watch on the balcony, eagerly list
ening for the cries of the itinerant
vendors, who, having no books, give
credit, and are paid in promises.
Suddenly the cry: 'Children's boots!
Children's boots!'' is waited along, with
many less pleasant things, upon the
balmless breeze.
"Walk in here through the wicket to
the right" cries the landlady from her
porch And the victim walks in, shows
his wares, bargains, haggles and leaves
several pairs of boots.
And so a family of three, four or five
persons manage to live in the country,
if not exactly on the fat of the land, yet
on tid-bits of whatever is in season, and
can afford to play cards with neighbors
and relations, and go to a concert OF
private theatricals now and against.

CROWNED AFTER DEATH.
Tire Only Queen Who Never Knew Her
Royal Station.

Royal Station.
There is no more remarkable page in
all history than the one which tells of
the browning of Inez de Castro's flesh
less skull as Queen of Portugal. She
had been married clandestinely to young
Dom Pedro, and was murdered three
years later by assassins instigated by
her father-in-law. When the young Dom
heard of her death he was beside him
ssif with grief and rage. Two of the
at,assins fell into his hands and suffered
terrible torture, which only ended by
their hearts being torn out while they
were yet alive. When Pedro came to
the throne a few years later he had the
bones If Inez taken from the grave,
placed upon a magnificent throne, robed
in royal purple, and actually crowned
Queen of Portugal The court was sum-
moned and compelled TO do her
homage. just as if she were real
living Queen. zone fleshless hand
held the scepter and the other the
orb OF royalty. On the second night of
this weird ceremony the fieShlesS Queen
was borne before grand funeral cortege
extending several miles, each person
holding torch, Lying in her rich
robes, her crown upon her grinning
skull, in chariot drawn by twenty
coal black mules, Queen Inez, the only
Queen who never knew her royal sta
ton, was driven to the royal Abbey of
Alcobaca, where the bones were inferred
with as much pomp as though she had
died but yesterday. The monument
erected to the Queen who was never a
Queen during life, is still to be seen in
the able, standing near the one erected
to her royal husband. Pedro, the just. .
1t is said that the whole cause of this
outrageous proceeding was an attempt
of Philip III. of Spain to secure the
throne on the grounds that the mar
riage of Inez was Illegal. These events
occurred during the taree years follow

After Waterloo and the dissolution o.

France. The storm OF revolution was
already gathering; the TIDE OF opposl,
ton to him had arisen and overlooked
France: his son had been passed over by
the Chamber of Representatives; MS
own services as General had beeh re-
fused; he had endeavored to escape the
vigilance of the British cruisers that
guarded the coast. and finally ne went

The concurrent testimony OF the

The Process Viewed in the Light of a Cold
Scientific Fact.
Failing in love" as modern biology
teaches us to believe, is nothing more
than the latest. highest and most in
volved exemplification in the human
race of that almost universal selectlVe
process which Mr.. Darwin has enabled
us to recognize throughout the whole
long series of the animal kingdom. The
butterfly that circles and eddies in his
aerial dance around his observant mate

The peacock that struts about in i'm

the admiratio of his mates in his own
person.
Mr.. Wallace has shown that to DO
beautiful is to be efficient; and sexuai

The Emperor of Germany has his
faults, but his resolution TO put down
the practice of dueling merits the warm
est praise. OF course there is really no
difference between the duelist and the
murderer, except that the former more
frequently kills in cold blood. But it
has taken people good many centuries
to learn even this elementary truth, and
in Germany, which is not the least en-
lightened of nations, it has been difficult
to drive the fact home. The dullest
man in the Father and understands,
however, what cashiering an officer
means, and it may safely be concluded
that the punishment which the Emperor
proposes to infiict upon the challenger
will have the effect of stamping out the
luelists in the German army.-London

"A SWISS GITl VINO Lifts Two Hundred ana
Fifty Pounds with Ease.
The strongest woman on earth has not
been long in making her appearance at
the music halls, and, according to ac-
counts, if she had visited the Aquarium
some few weeks ago she might almost
have entered the lists with Cyclops, for
she seems to think nothing of lifting
$50 pounds. Nine. Victorine is a Swiss,
and for many years was ignorant of her
extraordinary strength, or, at any rate,
of its remarkable value.
1t was only by chance she discovered
it. One day, when out walking, she
saw two men vainly endeavoring to lift
huge fender from a cart. Smiling at
their unsuccessful efforts, she volun-
teered her aid, and, to their extreme
surprise. accomplished the feat unas-
sisted. The story reaching the ears OF
an eager exhibitor, overtures for intro
ducing her to an admiring public were
Instantly made, and, after few weeks
of severe training, she made her first
appearance.
Nine Nictorine is indeed a prodigy,
for, in addition to her really marvellous
strength. she is not, like so many
wonders, unpleasant to look upon, but is
extremely fair of form and face. This
makes the third exhibitor of unusual
muscle in London, for Samson still has
a number of admirers and sympathizers,
