The Russian Heir to Marry.

The czarowitz, the heir of all the Rus
sias, is betrothed to the Princess Alice Of
Hesse-Darmstadt, the youngest daughter
of the Princess Alice of Great Britain
and granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
The young lady is just 81, and though
her father, who died last year, was not
much of q man her mother will be re-
membered as the princess who died from
diphtheria communicated by kissing her
sick child. When the eldest daughter
Of this family was married, the queen
and the Prince of Wales went over to
Germany to attend the wedding. The
festivities were magnificent. The Grand
Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt chose that
time to take refuge in distant corner
of his palace and contract morganatic
marriage with a Russian noblewoman.
The czarowitz is 25, and he is the
young man who was nearly murdered
in Japan about year ago, owing his
life to the ready sword of his cousin,
George of Greece. Besides being heir to
the throne Of Russia, a prospective su-
preme head Of the great Greek orthodox
church, the czarowitz is colonel of a

One of Ralph Waldo Emerson,s Stories


Mr.. Emerson himself had story-I
forget whether heard it in q lecture OF
in conversation-about New England
come outer who went into hatshop and
selected for himself a costly hat. The
hat was put up and the dealer supposed
he was to be paid, but the man whom
he had thought to be q purchaser said
simply: "Oh, I pay nothing for any
thing. / am the man who does not be-
lieve in money" The poor dealer had a
note to meet at the bank that day and
hardly knew how to do it. He looked
with dumb delight upon his customer
and said: II wish to God, sir, that no.
body else believed in money! Take the
hat, with my thanks to you for coming
for it,"
Mr.. Emerson would say this was all
spontaneously was natural on the part
Of the customer and on the part Of the
trader. Butwhen, the next day, another
man who had heard the story came into
the shop and selected for himself his hat
and said that he did not believe in money,
tho dealer refused the imitator where he
had accepted so readily the inventor.
And Emerson drew the moral from the
story which I want to draw now. A
prophet who speaks the word that comes
to him from the living God speaks, may
say, with the living Gods power. But
he who initiates the prophet has no spell.

men took course OF training, but

Plumbers Resent "A Joke.

opened hung some decorations on the

ner on what he seemed to consider the
weakness Of his trade. Two of the dec
orations were illustrated verses satiriz-
ing the plumber. One showed in water
colors upon large piece of canvas a
plumber in house dividing his time be-
tween his job and the hired girl, the title
of which was "The Giddy Plumber" :"
The other showed the plumber after he
had been kicked out of the house. Un-
der the gallery in the rear of the hall
was the third decoration in the form Of
a plumbers bill for work, purporting to
show the exorbitant charges master
plumbers make.
just before the adjournment of the
forenoon session Delegate Weldon of
Pittsburg drew the attention Of the con-
vention to these features. In bitter terms
he denounced them and said they would
have to be taken down or he would re-
fuse to sit in the hall. "That picture" !"
he said, pointing to "The Giddy Plumb

ton, and will not tolerate it. The in

Tiny Portraits Turned Out by Thousands
to Satisfy Fad.
Hidden under the staircase of frame
building ON Pennsylvania avenue is an
oddity in the shape of a photographers
shop. Nobody ever goes there to have
his picture taken, and yet the business
Is profitable one. For one thing, the
proprietor has long lease of the prem
ises at rental of only So month. His
establishment amounts to nothing more
than large closet, which is utilized as
darkroom for work. There is nothing
to be seen of screens, skylights, shabby
furniture, which looks as good as new
when taken by the camera, or the in
struments for holding the head steady,
which are SO suggestive of torture to
children. The words, "Look pleasant,
please" are never uttered in this So
cluded studio.
In fact, the photographer himself is
very rarely to be found on the premises.
People send in pictures Of themselves to
be reproduced by an extraordinary proc
ess Of multiplication. They must be
cabinet sized photographs. He has an
instrument which looks very much like
stereoscope of the sort that one looks
through at photographs, only about three
times as big. In place Of the part for
the eyes there is small camera, and a
few inches in front of the latter Is kind
Of frame in which the cabinet portrait
to be reproduced is put. The camera,
though such little one, has 38 lenses
One might compare 1t to the eye Of a
bee, which is multiple in like fashion.
1t is q snap camera and makes 38 min
iature copies Of the cabinet portrait at
one shot on a single negative. From the
negative the pictures are printed off in
sheets of 8S distinct photographs each.
1t does not take long to produce them in
large quantities at this rate, and SO the
operator finds profit in selling them at
the price of 81 for 80. He sells 100 for
50, 500 for 81, or 1000 for $14. 1t is q
very cheap way to procure lot Of
counterfeit presentments of ones SELF
A good many people order 500 or 1000.
AT the time of the inauguration such
photographs of Mr.. Cleveland were worn
as badges by some Of the visiting politi-
cal clubs. with ribbon fastening each
one to the buttonhole Of the wearer.
The back of these little photographs,
which are a novelty, are spread with
dextrine. 1t serves as sort of muci-
lage, so that the pictures can be licked
like postage Stamps and stuck upon any
thing. Commercial travellers affix them
to the corners of their advance cards"
sometimes, which they mail week or
two ahead to firms in towns which they
expect to visit shortly. Thus the recipi-
ents get notion of the appearance of
the agent before he comes along if they
were not previously acquainted with
him or are agreeably reminded of his
physiognomy. In the same manner the
atrical people stick them on their letters,
and various other professional persons
adopt similar practices. In fact, it is
quite fad.-San Francisco Examiner.
