GOldenrOd's Popularity.

Probably a great many people who
travel have failed to notice that the Pc
Rod of blooming of the %goldenrod does
not begin first in the south and move
northward, but apparently in tho other
direction-from north to south. In on,e
places in northern Vermont and New
Hampshire goldenrod of the common
field and railroad track variety is in
profuse bloom as early as the 10Th of
July. On the Kennebec river tie other
day n traveller noted that the goldenrod
was much more golden and less tinged
with green than it is in Maiden or Cam
bridge. Mass. And the place where the
plant is latest of all in following ap-
parently 10 Cape Cod, where the dwarf
seaside variety, most common there,
hardly begins to do itself justice before
September. 1t is possible that the north
ern goldenrod ripens before that farther
south for the same reason that Indian
corn ripens earlier in Vermont than it
does in V~irginia-it has got to ripen
earlier if it is going to ripen at ALL

An Improvement In Electric Bells,

One OF the most Objectionable quail
ties OF the electric bell is it's uniform
noisiness and shrillness. There are many
places in which an alarm of q less ag.
gressive and peremptory nature is de-
sirable, and it is surprising that a
quiet electric bell has not been man
ufactured for use in offices, hotels or
private houses. The bell can be adjusted
to make as much or as little noise as
may be needed. Its principal feature is
that 1t can be used either as a slow
striking bell, a single stroke bell or rs an
ordinary trembling bell, according to
the way it is connected on.--Philadel-

Alexander HIS Successor.

The question Is, "Who will succeed Alex
ander Ill on the thro ne?" Russian history
presents numerous ms tances OF the Care
witch being set aside for another. 1t Is
known that the late Gar had grave doubts,
shared by many, as to the Czarewltch's aoll-
tiles and stamina.
Nicholas Alexandrovitch IS said to be short
n stature, insignifl cant in appearance, gen
rally supposed to be an idiot, but neverthe-
ass is possessed of many amiable and gen
lie Qualities and kind heart, besides very
rrong will.
Born In 1868, he developed so slowly and
bowed so few mental gifts, that his parents
ralled in a specialist to pronounce upon his
health. This scientific gentleman pronounced
the youth congenital idiot, and was nearly
killed for hts frankness by the irascible
Gar, who gave him swinging blow on the
ear.
As boy his appearance driving through
the streets OF ST. Petersburg in his Cossack
uniform, and seated in a small sleigh, was
distinctly Insignificant.
His masters, charged with the duty OF ed
ucating him for his great position, In the
freedom of private conversation used TO
testify to his intelligence and application.
It has been stated that he has no knowl-
edge of politics. This is not correct. For the
last five years he has been in the habit OF
presiding over the Council Of State, duty
which his fathers laziness made irksome to
him. At these meetings the young man con-
Quoted the business with surprising ability
and tact. Much more tact than his father
ever showed
His father tried to marry him to one ofthe
daughters of NikIta, Prince of Montenegro,
but the young man resisted successfully,
and with spirit much at variance with the
general idea of his character. His engage
ment to the Princess Alix, which took place
last summer, at the silver wedding of the
Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg, seems
to have had more ofthe element of mutual
attraction than generally appear in such
matches.

traordinary displays Of National enthusiasm
in both countries, and In Paris the most ex-
travagant anticipations OF coming revenge
upon Germany were cherished. The Gar,
however, threw cid water upon all these
patriotic aspirations and proclaimed himself
still the friend OF peace. Throughout his
public career he exerted his tremendous
powers in behalf Of pacific policy, and his
weil-known horror of war has been regarded
for long time as one of the surest founda-
tons of European confidence
Personally the Gar was good-natured
giant, wholly devoted to his family, and
never 80 happy as when he could get brief
respite from political cares and state cere-
mony. He was prouder OF being reported
the strongest man in his dominions than OF
his position as autocrat. The assassination
OF his father checked his earlier impulses
towards liberalism, but his natural disposi-
ton was Just and kindly. although his intel
lect was little obtuse.
The Gar left five children: the CroWr
Prince Nicholas. twenty-seFen years old ;
the Grand Duke George, now i'll In the south
OF Russia the Grand Duehesses Xenia and
Olga and the Grand Duke Michael, boy In
his teens. In the ordinary course OF events
the Crown Prince Nicholas would succeed 10
the throne. In view OF his physical weak
ness and other peculiarities, there has been
much talk of q regency,
