In the time OF Peter there were no great
writer's or artists among the Russians, but
court testers and dwarfs were highly es-
teemed. Learning did not count for much
except among the clergy, but the great
empire We are told, was remarkable for
her fools" of high degree, for even princes
We're proud to hold the Office
As for dwarfs, the country was really
alive with them. One old author says
there was scarcely n nobleman in the land
who did not possess one or more of these
"frisks' of nature. At almost all state
dinners, If these pygmies were fortunate
enough to escape being served in u pie, II
was their duty to stand behind their lord /
chair holding his snuilbox or awaiting his
command. They were usually gayly dress
ed In uniform or livery of very costly
materials.
In 1908 Prince Mcnshikof sent to his
wife in Russia two dwarfs whom he hat
made prisoners of war in Poland, Ac
companying the gift were the following
lines; Il send YOU present Of two girls
one Of whom is very small and can scry'
as a parrot. She is more talkativo than 1.
usual among such little people and car
make you much gayer than If she was |
real parrot"
Ono of these dwarfs was still living IL
1894. After the disgrace Of her noble mas
ter she came under the care Of the Prin
cess of Hesse HomburP, and when sh'
died General Betskoy, the princess heir
took the dwarf as part Of his inheritance
Nearly century old, she was still brisl
and lively, with a babyish voice when sh
cried, as she often did at tho recollection
! of her ancient court dress, which she hat
priced exceedingly. Except when looking
ut her face to face one would think he
to be child or 6 years old.-St. Mich
