Gambling In Russian Society.

The responsibility for much of the high
play that goes on in the salons of St. Pc
tersburg lies at the doors of Marie Pavlov-
ma. When the grand duchess first started
roulette at her weekly receptions, even the
cynical, worldly and somewhat unprinci-
pied society of St. Petersburg confessed
itself startled. The grand duchess, how
ever, declared she was passionately fond
of the game, and consequently when, a
week later, she attended q party given in
her honor by her intimate friend, Princess
Betsy Bariatinski, the hostess felt in duty
bound to provide a roulette table for the
entertainment of her imperial guest.
That settled the matter, for next to the
grand duchess Princess Betsy is the best
known and most influential leader of Rus
sian society, and thenceforth the roulette
wheel was considered as de rigueur at all
the receptions and social functions of the
Muscovite gratin. While roulette is now
practically played everywhere at St. Pc
tersburg, doubt if there are any private
houses where such high play goes on as
that of Princess Betsy, who receives every
evening throughout the season. Her salon
is the most ultra exclusive of the Russian
metropolis, and admission thereto is suffi-

Tombs of the Danish Kings.

In the resting place of the old kings of
Denmark, the cathedral of Roeskilde, re-
cent visitor notes that there is column
against which number of monarchs have
been measured and upon which their diff
ferent heights are recorded. One of them
is Peter the Great, and we learn by this
means that the shipwright czar measured
no less than so Danish inches, equivalent
to something like 6 feet 10 inches in our
measurement. Only one other of the soy
ereigns was taller, and that was Christian
l of Denmark, who, according to this au-
thority, was justa trif1e over feet Eng
llsh. The car, Alexander III, is about 6
feet inch and is about couple Of inches
taller than Christian TX of Denmark and
about four inches taller than King George
OF Greece, neither of whom nevertheless is
what would be called short man. 1t is

Detecting a Srnuggler.

A treasury agent, speaking of the
watchfulness of Uncle Sam S officials,
said: "A handsomely dressed man got
off ferryboat and seemed to be unusu-
ally nervous. A moment more and he
was struggling in the hands of the Off
GERS and desperately clutching at the
lapels of his coat. It's no use, the
officers remarked; we know what you
have and where it is. Better give it up
and save trouble. Apparently crushed
by the discovery, the man quietly as
sisted in opening seams and produced
the diamonds from various portions of
his clothing. Your shoes, pleased! This
rather staggered him, but he submitted
with good grace, and one of the heels
being unscrewed another lot, though
smaller and less valuable than the first,
was found there. The diamonds were
examined and pronounced to be SPLEEN

cents each. This did not satisfy us, and
the man was stripped to the skin. A
huge piece of sticking plaster was on
his back, which was removed, and un-
der it were concealed scores Of genuine
diamonds. It is not often that a ruse
is SO adroitly planned and tpracticed.

LINcoLN,s DEATH WOUND.
Just Where the Fatal Euilet Entered and
the Course 1t Took

One of the assistants 70 Chief Clerk Syl-
vester of the Metropolitan police depart
ment is Harry 2. Cattell, who has charge
of the property room. In his younger days
Mr.. Cattell was an embalmer. On Satur-
day morning, April Is, "a few hours after
the death of the president Mr.. Cattell was
directed to go to the executive mansion
and embalm the body.
1T is many years since the assassination
which excited such profound horror in all
civilized portions Of the globe, and while
every reader knows how the beloved chief
executive met his death comparatively few
people of this generation know just where
the fatal bullet entered his body or what
course it took. Mr.. Cattell showed re-
porter a veSSatim copy of the original re-
port, written by an assistant to Surgeon
General Barnes, who made the autopsy.
The following is an exact copy:
Yesterday Surgeon General Barnes, as
sisted by Drs. Stone, the late presidents
family physician, Curtis, Woodward, Crane,
Taft and other eminent medical men,
made an autopsy in the presence of Presi-
dent johnson, General Augur and General
Rucker. The external appearance of the
face OF the president presented a deep black
stain around both eyes. The fatal wound
was on the left side OF the head, behind
and in o Inns with and three inches from
the left ear. The course of the hall was
obliquely forward toward the right eye,
crossing the brain in an obliqr1e manner
and lodging u few inches behind that eye
In the track OF the wound were found frag
ments of bone, which had been driven for
ward by the ball, which was imbedded
in the anterior lobe of the left hemisphere
of the brain. The orbit plates of both eyes
were the seat of comminuted fracture, and
the eyes were filed with extravasated
blood. The serious injury of the orbit plates
was due to the center coup, the result of the
intense shock of so large projectile fired
SO closely to the head The ball was evil
IDENTITY a derringer, hand cast, and from
which the neck had been clipped. A shay
ing of lead had been removed from the
ball in its passage through the bones of
the skull and was found in the orifice of
the wound. The first fragment of bone
was found 2H inches within the brain
the second and larger fragment about four
inches from the orifce of the wound. The
ball lay farther in advance. The wound
was about one-half inch in diameter. The
autopsy confirmed the opinion of the sur
geons OF the night of the assassination
that the wound was mortal. "-Washing-

THE SECRETARY BIRD.
ene Cool sIanner In Which 1t Kills Snake,
Its Natural Prey.

Its Natural Prey.
AS soon as tho secretary bird, or
snake eat9r, Of South Africa discovers
a lnake, it advances toward it without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
Hvers blow with its foot. If the snake
has avoided the blo1 and attempts to
strike back, the bird interIdsses a wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head, pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and Just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary birds appetite. for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
"as long as his ARM II lizards Z
inches long, 81 tortoises about 2 inches
in diameter, besides a large quantity
of grasshoppers and other insects, % or
in other words, TX feet of snake, 61a
of lizard, 81 of tortoise and say a yard
OF miscellaneous trifles,
The secretary bird is protected by the
cape authorities for the immense public
benefit it confers in eNing poisonous
snakes, and a penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its right to the
title Of serpentarius. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may be trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds Of prey.

Women Clerks In washin xton.

There have been great changes in the
government departments in the last 80
years. The first woman regularly en-
ployed was put on the rolls of the navy
department 50 years ago, She was a
young widow, and the officials consid-
cred it an awful problem how to dis
pose of her. Finally they hit upon a
plan. They treated her as if she was a
contagious disease and isolated her in
an attic room. She received and re-
turned her copying by messenger.
But the disease caught on, SO to speak,
and today there are 1, 900 women i'll the
treasury alone. There is one woman to
every seven men.

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds. would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be il remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. Ono might as we'll judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dali
ly catalogue Of these really trivial ex-
ceptions to it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious Of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily TO diminish.
We had 81, 66S "habitualso in 1868;
now the evil roll is only so, 1853.
When the population of England was
10, 257. 600 in 1859, there were 2,5S9
persons undergoing penal servitudo;
now, with population of 81, $50, 179,
the mum Der is only SAT. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jails
was 90, 1888; the entire number at the
same date last year was 2,665, though
the population had increased by 6,O00,-
600. Pauperism is also declining. In
1885, /. 079, 391 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 1000, 600 inhabitants, there
were only IA, 905. The upshot of these
figures = without pressing them too
much-seelns surely to be that the cos
mic process in our own little corner of
the universe is not doing SO badly.-Sir
