The Czarina.

The Czarina constantly accompanies
her husband in his rides and drives. 1t
is said that she thinks her presence Is a
defense from Nihilists. Certainly she
knows that shot aimed at him might
reach her. But one of the pleasantest
things to read about her is the motherly
devotion to the moral welfare of her
children. In this She is an example to all
mothers. She allows no governess. but
employs teachers. who, coming for a
few hours a day and those days not con-
secutive. have not time to make a last
ing impression OH the moral nature of
her children, as would one employed con-
stantly. She is very small. and the con-
trast between her figure and that of the
Car, who is almost gigantic, is very re-
markable. Her oldest boy Is like her in
size-a fact that somewhat troubles tho
