Here and there in the halls and cor
ridors of the capitol the sturdy guard
lars of the public peace, clad in immac-
ulate uniforms sit, silent and Indifferent,
Illuminating, to judge from the slow and
regular action OF their jaws, upon the
destinies of the nation, though caring
for none Of these things. Fine speci-
mems most of them are. too-broad
shouldcred, healthy skinned, fair. quiet
men. whose solid nerves nothing could
surprise, whose firm but gentle nasti.
cation no political convulsion could re-
tard. They are Of q very different type
from the burly New York policeman.
One can hardly believe that they are
really colleagues Of the colored func-
tionary in similar blue cloth and brass
buttons, who stands in all his glory at
the corner Of Pennsylvania avenue, mon
arch of all he surveys, whose slightest
gesture could stop even n cable car and
whose lofty stature and speckless clothes
call forth the admiration Of the colored
nursery maid and can impose good be-
havior even upon fair haired little boys
and make the soggy faced. blue eyed
''toughs' look little less as though
they had bought the pavement for their
own convenience and would refuse to
let it even at a high price. Marion
Crawford in Century.

Tie Dress of Royal Bride.

1t is OIL Y outside of Russia that it is
possible 10 publish certain details Of the
splendid fetes attending the marriage
of tho car daughter It is contraband
to print in Russian newspapers the fact
that at the wedding ceremony the en-
press of Russia was dressed in blue
moire antique thickly embroidered with
silver. Her majesty's jewels were sap
phires and diamonds. The dress of the
bride Was entirely of silver cloth. with
a train of crimson velvet bordered with
ermine. On her head was large dia-
mond tiara, behind which was bridal
wreath, aud then on top of the head was
the small diamond crown worn by all
imperial brides at their weddings.
Some time ago all the newspapers in
Russia received an order forbidding in
future AM reference to the dresses worn
by the empress Oh state and public &C.
casions. This was done in consequence
of the Russian newspapers having in
correctly described her majesty as wear
ing q dress which at the time was alto
eether out of fashion. Letter

AnA she Sank 30 Rest CiutcAing the Tiny
Treasure to Her Breast.
She found the tiny, tender plant
when first it showed its trembling head
above the travel worn slabs Of granite
that paved the narrow alleyway which
was her only playground. She gave .
cry Of delight when she saw the deli
cate shoot peeping ont from between
the cold gray stones, and from that mo-
ment It filed q part Of her life that
heretofore had been empty. She nour.
tshed it with water and jcalously guard
ed il from the onslaught Of roaming
boys and the too near approach Of cart
wheels that came crunching through
the alley. and often did her violet eyes
