Burg, at Vienna, all alone this yesrl On
this tree were placed all the choicest gifts

they could not do enough to make up to the
fatherless child for her grievous loss, The
Empress had declared that to keen nm her
Christmas at the capital, and meet the
Crown Princess Stephanie and her little
daughter during the Yuletlde celebrations
would be more than her nerves could endure
And so dismal were the scenes when EN-
press Elizabeth of Hapsburg compelled
herself to dine In company with her Wild
owed daughter-in-law, the night before the
marriage Of the Archduchess Valerie, that
the Emperor gave way to his wife's wishes.
On that occasion the Empress burst into
tears as she kissed Stephanie's forehead, and
then cried bitterly all dinner time, being
quite III with grief afterward. That the

the degree of condemnation In the meteor
streams.
Among the numerous drawings which
have been made Of the Orion nebula. with
greater or less care and skill, the finest are
one made by the Bonds, at Cambridge, in
1S59-63, and one upon which Lord Rose ex-
pended all the available hours OF several
years with the aid of the great Parsontown
reflector. These two pictures, though both
were executed with the most conscientious
care, have only q general emblance to
each other. To one who is unable to make
a due allowance for the difficulty of depict
ing so vaguely defined an object, they seem
strangely discordant in their details. In
deed, these drawings may be cited to prove
and illustrate the utter hopelessness OF de-
picting nebula with the pencil and brush;
nor is it likely that the attempt will ever
again be made.
Achievements Of Photography.
Photography promises not only to render
this labor unnecessary, but also to yield re-
suits that will be far more reliable. The
late Prof. Henry Draper was the pioneer
in this work, having succeeded in 1880 In
obtaining with an exposure Of nearly an
hour very satisfactory negative of the
Orion nebula, and in 1882 a second, In
which the difference in the intensity OF the
various parts of the nebulous light was
shown still more finely. Mr.. Common,
using his 36-inch sIlver-on-glass reflector at
Ealing, followed close upon the triumph of
Prof. Draper, his first success in this work
having been obtained in 1885, Since then

Are you Terrorist, Mr.. Stepniak?"
To this question Stepniak responded with
another: Suppose, he said, "your sister
was fogged? What would you do2 Is
there anything you wouldn't do to destroy
such Government
"A am in sympathy with the Terrorists to
certain extent. The Gar is in danger,
and if he was killed would not object. II
one m ..Eod fails we must try another We
have tired propaganda and we got nothing
but the most barbarous treatment. We are
compelled 10 use force"
On February 4, 1883, Stepniak talked at
length in London to New York World
correspondent regarding the situation in
Russia and his plans. With protest that
assassination is the final resort of the op-
pressed, Stepniak then apologized for the
use OF dynamite and the dagger in the secret
warfare against the Russian Government.
The use of these weapons" he said, "is
repugnant to humanity. To none is it more
hateful than to our comrades. They use
both one and the other under the sternest
compulsion of an memorable destiny. have

meeting OF the Central Committee when in

that they were not glad to seal their fidelity
10 the cause by uncomplainingly dying, but
horrihed at the thought of the only means
left to cripple the tyrant."
"The word Nihilist," said Stepniak, 'is
given to us by our enemies in Russia. Our
demands are simply these--a national Par
lament, universal suffrage, local autonomy.

Stepniak was born in the south of Russia.
Of noble family and is 80 years old. While
IN England his influence was so great and
the results of his agitation so strong that
the Russian Government sent Madame
Novikof to London to countersct his influ-
ence, but with no results.

Editor Stead's Autographs.

Mr.. stead's autograph album, says the
London Star, consists of the portraits of the
representative leading men all over the
world, who congratulated Mr.. Stead in his
conception of The Reuiew Of Re,teus, with
their autographs reproduced, and with some
additions. The portraits are excellently re-
produced. Twenty thousand copies of the
Portraits" were printed, and were bought
mp at once.
Mr.. Stead has not always taken the auto
graph which accompanies the portrait from
the letter which the subject sent. In. the
case Of William Morris, for instance, he
goes back to 1876, and takes o specimen of
the poets handwriting from q letter ad.
dressed to Mr.. Stead concerning the Bull.
garian atrocities.
Underneath John Morley's portrait we
read, under date Of August I, 1881, note
sent to Mr.. Stead, as follows: 81 only fear
that you will overdo yourself. Pray don't.
The world will want you more ten years
hence than now. 1t is q sin, as well az
folly, to kill yourself now.-Evef yours,
cordially and affectionately-."
Madam Blavatsky wrote underneath her
photograph: 81. P. Blavatsky, in all the
majesty of her wrinkles" and Mrs. Besant
under hers: tT am immersed in Madam
Blavatsky. III perish in the attempt to re-
view her, you must write on my tomb; She
has gone to investigate the secret doctrine

Rudyard Kipling's Father.

The most remarkable of Mr.. Kipling's
books, in many ways, is the native volume
of "Black and White" says London cor
respondent Of the Boston Advertiser. This
volume is dedicated, in tender and rever-
ential preface, which reminds one, in tone,
of the Earl of Lytton's dedication Of
LUCILLE" to his father-to Mr.. Kipling's
father. The elder Mr.. Kipling is the prin-
cipsl Of the art school at Lahorec and is, as
have heard from Independent authorities,
an artist of considerable repute in India.
He is just now near his son in London; a
photograph which I had the privilege of
seeing, shows q face of sweetness and of
power, with snow white hair and beard, But
I did not know until this week, and by my
own observation, that he is genius Of the
same order as his son.
He has illustrated the eight stories of
"Black and White" In series of about Is
large drawings, intended for some future
edition de luxe of the book. These draw.
ings are stories in themselves, and to one
who knows the stories lovingly beforehand,
there is perfectly indescribable richness
and suggestiveness about the illustrations
of them. Here is the ne plus ultra of the
sympathetic Interpretation of one art by an
other. A novelist could not cherish his own
work more tenderly than the father has
cherished his sons conceptions, and the
elder Mr.. ,Kipling possesses technical
graphic power Of quality to which Thack-
cray never laid claim. In word, never be-
fore were great stories so illustrated as they
are here. Only a native of India can quite
fully appreciate the drawings or the stories,
but the gems must be obvious to any beholder'
Der, as very particularly rich, the
illustrations to the Judgment of Dun.

Small Tslk From Royal Courts and cOnis Features Of
Carmen sylvias New Novel

Under the assumed name of Sergius Step
MAX, q Russian revolutionist has made q
name in English and Italian literature, has
aroused on two continents deep interest in
the struggle of the Russian peopl' for con-
stitutional government and has found time
during the intervals between his literary and
patriotic work to devote much attention to
the London poor. He is now lecturing in
this country, and will attempt to harvest the
field planted and cult sted by George Ken
nan and a score Of newspaper writers who
have seen more or less clearly the needs and
difficulties of the Russian people.
Outside of Russia the life of Stepniak
would belong between the covers of Q ro-
mantle novel. In Russia it is not unusual.
his real name is not known, but is con-
cealed, it is said, to save his family from the
persecution of the Cars police. More than
half his 50 years have been spent in serving
his people.
Stepniak lives in retirement and few per-
sons could make their way to his London
address, an isolated villa in st. Johns
Wood.
He is known there only through his books
and his appearance at soclalistic and reform
meetings. There in humble lodging in a
study Uttered with books and papers. Step
MAX writes books that stir the whole En-
glish reading world, or newspaper articles
for the London Times which are copied
extens vely, to the annoyance of the Russian
Government
"It is difficult" said Stepniak to cor.
respondent not long ago, ''for the people of
Western Europe, and it is more difficult
still for the people of that greater West
America, to realize the condition of things
