A story is told illustrating the
rigid discipline of the Russian
army. One of the Grand Dukes
told the Gear that a sentinel at the
railroad crossing at Peterhof re-
fused to raise the gate for his car
riage, although the train was not
due for three or four minutes. "It
is against orders, your Imperial
Highness," the soldier replied, the
rule being that when the gate is
shut it must not be opened until
after the train had passed. The
Gear said that he was glad to hear
that the soldier knew how to obey
orders. The Grand Duke laughed
and said that he was certain if the
Car himself had been present
discipline would have given away.
he Gear did not reply, but a few
days after, to put the matter to the
test, he drove up with the Czarina
just after the gate had been
lowered. The Gear called to the
sentinel to let him pass. The sem
tine, in great trepidation, saluted,
but did not move the gate. "open
the gate, I tell you," cried the
Emperor. sDon't you know who
I ami" "Yes, your Imperial
Majasty. but it is against orders,
andsI cannot open the gate," an
swered the sentinel, still saluting,
and turning almost blue with
anxiety, but not moving an inch
from his place. 81 am the Gar,
and I command you to open,"
cried the'Czar again. Ican't do
it, you Imperial Majesty, /"
despairingly cried the sentinel,
still standing firm. Just then the
trian passed. The Car buast
into laughing, and warmly COM
mending the astonished sentry,
presented him with twenty-five
rouble note, and 'rove back to the
palace.

a Arxpeuriter,s Luncheon.

A young woman whose work as 9
typewriter makes her daily luncheon at
arestaurant necessity sayssthat the
most satisfactory and sustaining meal
she gets is q plate Of raw oysters, with
q bottle of ginger. ale and plenty Of
brown bread and butter. If she feels
poor she omits the ale, which is an ap-
sprecaable item, and contents herself with
the oysters and bread. "Therei are 80
few things to be had at the average res
taurant that are satisfactory" she says,
"but you may really rely on the oysters

AN Eas.er Scene in Athens.

Forsome time before Easter the city
of Athens wears a picturesque aspect.
This is due in great part to the number
of shepherds who, with their flocks,
have come down from the mountains
and are camped in every available open
space, engaged in selling their lambs.
There is no family SO poor as not ito

That Terrible Bugbcar, Siberia.

ralumny tile Fifth: Siberia is den of hor-
,ors. and to-day people are driven like dumb
cattle; no trial is afforded the suspected
ones; they are put into quicksilver mines,
where they are whipped and starved and
some day find themselves going around
without any head. But what are the facts?
There are no kinder people on earth than
the Russians, and to most OF them, cruelty
i an iI,,nnssibility, Siberia is the prison of
Russia. a prison more than twice the size of
1He Tnited states. John Howard, who did

was an admirable plan, advocating open air
punishment rather than endungeonment,
and also because it was taking all offenders
hundreds OF miles away from their evil
companions.
Russia is the only country on earth from
which the death penalty has been driven,
except in case of high treason. Murderers
and desperate villains are sent to the hard

Siberia or doomed to any kind of punish
ishment until he has fair trial. After be-

which are paradises for salubrity and lux

But how about the knout. the cruel Rus
sian knout that comes down on the bare
back OF agonized criminals? Why, Russia
abolished the knout before it was abolished
from the American navy. But how about
the political prisoners hustled OFF to Siberia?
According to the testimony of the most cele-
brated literary enemy of Russia. only 443 po-
litical prisoners were sent to Siberia in 20
years. How many political prisoners did
we put in prison pens during our four years
of Civil War? Well, will guess at least
