Queer Things Women VIII DO.

Many a feminine queernesS is traceable

hundred queernesSeS are born of that ire

only the exaggeration of fact. Most
women know, as she apparently did not
that to forge a name, though with the best
possible intentions, is perilous business,
but few women do not share that half
increduous, half defiant attitude toward
fixed law and fixed fact of which "Nora'
offers an extreme example.
Women have come through heredity and
experience to the general, unformulated
conviction that there is nothing they
oughtn't to have-if they can get it-and
nothing much they can't get, if they have
coin of tears or kisses Wherewith to pay

Russian Empire.
LONDON, Nov. IT, Advices from st.
Petersburg state that the authorities
there are becoming more and more Sis
picious as to the internal situation of the
empire to grow critical. There is con
siderable uneasiness about affairs
throughout the empire and rs a result
of this feeling the narshals of the no
bility exercising power and residing in
the different parts Of the country have
been warned that they VIII be held re-
sponsible for any manifestation or politi-
cal feeling against the government
which may occur in the provinces or To-
cal administrations under their coDtrol.
A careful watch has been placed upon
the students at the universities and at
the higher schools, and precautions have
been taken to prevent them from start
ing disturbances The tutors in the
universities and higher schools have
been ordered to avoid the society Of the
students and to have nothing whatever
to do with them outside OF teaching.
They are particularly warned against
visiting the students at their houses.
Inspectors employed by the government
make searches Of the rooms occupied by
the students, and also Of their librarys.
Every book that treats of social ques-
tons, or which in the slightest degree
partakes Of a political character, is
seized by the inspectors.
A short time ago it came to the
knowledge of the police that con-
spiracy was under way. The authori-
ties, through the system Of espionage
which prevails throughout Russia, were
able to learn who the conspirators We're.
their places of meeting, and, i'll fact,
everything connected with the plot.
While secretly pursuing their inyestiga-
tions in st. Petersburg, they found that
the conspirators in that city were only a
part of very numerous band, the head
quarters Of which We're located i'll Mos

spirators had been very active in secur-
ing adberents to their plan, and that the
conspiracy had ramifications which
spread to all the principal cities Of the
