Catherine II Of Russia,

Once at an official dinner Catherine II of
Russia had an animated discussion with a
foreign ambassador who had displeased
her. She spoke with more anger than dig
nifty. In the midst OF her TRADE she over
heard her secretary, Chrapowicki. say in an
undertone
: 1T is pity for the little mother to lose
her temper this way"
She stopped abruptly, and during the re-
maindcr Of the dinner was gracious and
merry.
AS she left the table, however, she went
straight to the impertinent interrupter and
said, How dare you criticise my words in
publicY
Her voice trembled with anger, and her
hand shook SO that she nearly dropped a
cup OF coffee which she was holding She
set down the coffee untasted and told the
unfortunate secretary to go.
The man believed himself ruined and ex-
pected to be sent to Siberia next day. He
had no sooner reached his home, however,
than a messenger came to summon him to
the empress.
He found the empress still angry and ex-
cited. She reproached him bitterly for re-
turning impertinencc for the kindness she
had shown him. He threw himself on his
knees before her.
''Take this" she said handing him a
snutfbox set with diamonds. keep it, and
whenever you have any more observations
to make in public upon what say or do
hold your tongue and take u pinch Of snuff.
Such advice might be good for me."--
