figured in the ranks of her moe. devoted admirers, and sought her advice both in office and out off as that of their Egeria Princess Lise Troubetskoi, who for near ly a quarter of a century wielded simi- lar power at Paris, and who reigned su- preme over the affections and politics of M. Thiers, was absolutely homely, with her flat Kalmuck nose, large mouth and small eyes. Mme. de Novikoff, too, who since 1875 has made point of spending at least eight months of each year in London in the interests of the czar's government, is the reverse of beaui- ful. What she lacks in good looks, how ever, she makes up in cleverness, and it is, thanks to her efforts alone, that a powerful philo-Russian party has been formed in England, party which in- cludes such men as Mir. Gladstone, MT. Chamberlain, Mir. Morley, Mir. Labou- chere and most of the other Liberal leaders, besides the principal proprietors of The Daily News and The Pal Mall Gazette.

ited as such to the various courts and influence, the services of these petit coated diplomats are rated by the sover- eigns and ministers of foreign affairs who employ them as being of infinitely superior value to those of their male col leagues.
 Paid out of the secret service fund which is at the disposal of every European chancellerie, theis names do not appear on any of the published civil service lists, and are only known with any degree of certainty by a favored few. It is they, however, and not the am bassadOrs, who are intrusted with all the most delicate and intricate negotiations; their reports and recommendations com mand far greater degree of attention and consideration on the part of their governments than those of the publicly accredited ministers and envoys, and whereas the latter are but the orna- mental fgureheads of the diplomatic representation, it is these ladies of the secret service who are the handspring and prime mover of every international intrigue.
 This will hardly give rise to much sur prise, for one of the principal features of diplomacy is to lead clever and astute persons into believing things which are untrue. Women are much more suited for this task than men. The talent for intrigue, which is only acquired by men after years of labor and experience, seems to be innate in the feminine char acter, where it frequently scars to the eminence of genius. Women possess, too, a delicate tact and intuition for which one can search fruitlessly in men. Their powers of persuasion are mcom- parably superior, as well as of more multiple nature, than those of the sex which is only physically, but, alas! not mentally, the stronger; and in difficult situations, whence a man could only emerge with the help of lie of coarse and discernible texture, the woman will escape under the cover of most artistic piece of intricate embroidery on the very flimsiest and most diaphanous groundwork of fact.
 SOmeO of these female diplomatic agents are, or have been, celebrated for their beauty and some for their ugliness. Gu riously enough, Russia, which employs a larger corps of them than any other na- tion, ordinarily recruits them among la dies whose charms, to put the matter mildly, are more of mental than phys ical character. The celebrated Princess de Lieven had no pretensions to beauty, but on the contrary several personal de- fleets. This, however, did not prevent her from yielding an influence of almost incredible and predominance over the successive administrations of Great Britain during close upon five and thirty years.

 bear the signature of 70. K.," which stands for Olga de Kireff. Her head quarters in London are at Cartridges hotel, where her salons are thronged every afternoon and evening throughout the parliamentary season with intiuen- tial men of all parties She is frequent and favorite guest at Mr. Gladstone's table, and it was mainly owing to her influence over him that England ab- stained from going to war with Russia in behalf of the Turks in 1877. At the present moment she is as usual at her post, devoting her energies to proving to the English people that the stories about the persecution of the Jews in Russia are all lies, that there is no such thing as the exile of political prisoners to Siberia and that the Nihilists are unworthy of British sympathy.
 Another petticoated diplomatist of the same nationality is the Russian princess who acts as honorary lady in waiting to the wife of the khedive of Egypt Her record is such as to render it preferable for her government to utilize her serv- ices, not in Europe, but on the banks of the Nile, where so many damaged repu- tations have found home. Her first husband, Count B., was an estimable man, who had the misfortune to go out shooting one day with the Italian ad venturer whom she has since married. The count was brought home dead from the effects of a gunshot wound, which the Italian, his only companion, declared to have been due to the accidental dis charge of his (the count's) gun. No in quest took place. The count was buried, and few months later the penniless Italian was found to have quietly mar ried the widow. The princess, though stylish and very witty, is not beautiful. Her influence over the wife of the khe- dive-an influence most distasteful to the English-is mainly due to the fact that she keeps the vice-queen and the inmates of the harem acquainted with all the gossip and scandal of the city. Through her the imperial chancellerie at St. Petersburg obtains an early report of every fresh state secret which the En- glish government finds it necessary to communicate to the khedive.

Portugal Censorship.

MADRID, May l6.-Advices from Lisbon state that a severe censorship has been placed over telegrams sent from or into the city. Even news telegrams destined for official journals have been stopped. The well known political economist, Coello, has written letter in which he says Portugal has colossal deficit, ruinous loans contracted upon humiliat- ing terms and is confronted by mone- tary, industrial and political crisis of a most threatening kind.

They Were Out Having Fun.

BERLIN, May l6.--The latest report re- ceived by the Japanese legation here concerning the attack on the Czarwitch is that he and Prince George were re- turning incognito from place of amuse- ment when they came in conflict with some police officers, who asserted them selves too vigorously until the identity of the Prince was revealed. The princes were without escort at the time. The slightness of the Czarwitch's wound is explained by the fact that the Japanese policemen use blunt swords.

 ELIZA CoNNERs' NOTES.
 Some of the best friends of our sex have doubted the wisdom of publishing it in the newspapers so much when a woman steps out of the old contracted sphere and accomplishes successfully works that the world used to believe could only be compassed by the hand and brain of man. They say We should cease to think of these things as extraor- dinary merely because women have done them, but should judge of the work simply and quietly on its own merits, without reference to the fact of its being done by man or woman. In brief, say these good friends, cease to spell woman with large w. This is an excellent thought, in one way. By all means let the work of women be judged on its own merits strictly and without mercy Only in this way can our sex learn to excel in what they undertake. If a woman assumes to do task, and then slurs or slights it; if she is incapable of doing rightly what she attempts, and then claims immunity because of her sex, by all means show her up for the fraud she is. But when she does achieve something out of the old line, and does it grandly and thoroughly, let us still publish it in the newspapers yet awhile. Do you know why? It brings inspiration and hope to other women who are struggling out of the ancient ruts. If one woman has painted good picture, if she has written successful book or amassed competency in busi- ness, Horticulture, butter making, poul- try, let us still tell other women about 1t, so they may know there is chance of success for them if they are faithful to the powers they feel dimly stirring within them. It is with no desire to give women newspa- per notoriety, no intention of gratifying a silly personal vanity, that we print the story when certain women have striven and achieved. God forbidl But it is for the sake of the comfort and hope the story brings to other women who are struggling and have not yet achieved.
 Nothing is more gratifying than the progress women are making in extem- pore speaking. Even in Sorosis the la- dies five years ago could speak nothing like as we'll as they do now. Often they use no notes whatever. They way to learn extempore speaking is to begin and preach your speech over in your mind beforehand, thinking it out care fully, but not writing line of it except the headings. Then when you arise to deliver it you will probably forget two

OUR WOMAN'S COLUMN Beautiful President of the
 SoroSiS Club. A Decorated Bureau at Small
 Expense.
Parisian Fancies- Eliza Corners Short Paragraphs of Interest
 to Women Readers.

Mrs. Jennie M. Lozier, M. D., is the newly elected president of that mother of women's clubs, Sorosis. This lady, whose election was won by an over- whelming majority, belongs to the newer element in the club, having been asso- ciated with it for period barely cover ing five years-less than quarter of it's age. But during that time Mrs. Lozier has been recognized as one of the most active, efficient and brilliant women in that representative body of feminine talent.
 She is New Yorker born and bred, and was reared in the old Seventh ward" in its palmy days of prominence as hightoned residential neighborhood. Her ancestors were of French origin, as the family name, De la Montagnie, de- notes.
 "Rutger," which was not at that time designated a college, offered the only facilities for that higher education which is now generally afforded to women, and Miss de la Montagnie was graduated from that institution and is enrolled among the associated alumne.
 Following her graduation, a trip to the West Indies gave the young girl Ca lit tie outlook" Tn the interval before she entered upon the career of teacher when barely eighteen years old. In short time she was made professor of languages and literature at Hillsdale college, Michigan, and subsequently, was appointed vice principal of the woman's department there.
 Shortly after, while on visit to her home, the young lady was persuaded to enter new profession by marrying Dr. A. w. Lozier, son of the late cele-

 A heavy wooden top is then to be made, which should extend several inches beyond the drawers at either side. This should be painted to match the rest. Eight yards of cheese cloth may be used for the slightly festooned drapery pre- sented in the illustration.
