The history of the Russian Czarina,

like a fairy tale. There was once upon
a time three little girls In jaconet
dresses who received i5f a month for
their wardrobes, made their own skirts
and corsages, and filled with their
youthful gayety the peaceful old city
of Frankfort-on the-Maln. They were
an pretty. Their father was duke ~

4 Race of Giant Cannibals.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than 60 miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by west coast natural
ist early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has a photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
nibalism among them.-St. Louis Re-

was an eccentric character and had
no hesitation in speaking his mind, Ell

He was about to exchange with a neigh
boring minister, mild and inoffensive
man, who knew the bluntness of his
disposition and said to him in advance:
You will find some panes of glass
broken in the pulpit window, and pos
sibly you may suffer from the cold.
The cushion, too, is in bad condition,
but | beg of you not to say anything to
my people about it. They are poor and
disinclined to think of repairs

Mr.. Black records that at a review
Of British troops in 1864 at Yokohama
a great daimio was watching with in
terest the maneuvers of their regiments
and batteries of artillery stationed there.
At the conclusion he was asked to al
low the escort of his retainers who had
accompanied him to go through their
drill and tactics, to which he readily
consented.
Turning to Sir Rutherford Alcock,
who was inspecting the troops, he proud
ly said:

Removing Glass Stoppers.

Sometimes it is very difficult to re-
move glass stopper from bottle. a
cloth wet in hot water generally is
sufficient. but if this fails, remember
the principle is to expand the neck Of
the bottle by heat and not the stopper.
With hot water the latter is often heat
ed equally with the neck, and thus the
desired effect is not produced. By hold
ing the neck of the bottle about half an
inch above the fame Of lamp or can
die, however, in few seconds the most
obstinate cork will generally come out.
Care must be taken TO turn the bottle
rapidly and not allow the flames to
touch the glass, as it might crack it.
When the glass is thoroughly heated, a
steady pull and twist will almost al
ways bring out the stopper. r.-Exchange
