The Princess Alix.

There is strong and growing expires
sion of opinion that the Princess AliX
was persuaded-some people suggest CO.
erced-into accepting the czarowitz. 1t
is difficult to understand why that idea
should get into peoples heads now, but
it is undoubtedly there, and it will not
be easy to dislodge it. The good people
of HaTogate, where the princess is still
drinking the waters and taking sulphur
baths, have not the slightest doubt about
it. She was pale and weak, they say,
when she came and evidently loaded
down with care, If the gossip Of the
servants hall and of the fashionable
promenade is of any value, she suffered
from sleeplessnoss and often appeared at
the breakfast table with her eyes swollen
from much weeping. She has greatly
improved since she went to Harrogate
physically at any rate. Color has
returned to her face, and the doctor s
visits are less frequent now. She looks
strong enough to take good long walk,
but she does not do SO. She is wheeled
about the greater part of the day in
bath chair,
1t is only fair to mention, however
that the poor princess is hard at worl
learning Russian and devotes severa
hours day to grammar and diotion
airy, which Of course does not conduc'
to cheerfulness. Neither is the prelim
mary study Of a great religion, upol
which she is also engaged, calculate
to improve an invalid's spirits. Lon

Very Few Respectable People.

"There were very few respectable
people present." A gentleman who
REPRESENTED the wealth and culture of
Philadelphia looked at little crowd of
persons assembled in an open space
listening to something that somebody
was reading to them. He was passing
by, and curiosity prompted him to
glance at the people. They were
shabby-looking, on the whole, a crowd
partly laborers pausing briefly IN their
work, partly idlers listening WIN no
had polished boots, and their nails had
not been manicured that morning. oh,

delphian, who represented the safe,
conservative sentiment of the moneyed
classes of the solid old town, took in
the motley crew and remarked as he
passed on sand left them, There are

A Bargain,

When n man makes fortunate deal,
he is happy. 1t matters not whether he
is engaged In business that is safe OF
whether he INDUCES in games of chance
or buys tickets in the matrimonial lottery.
And when man is happy he wants 9th
ers to rejoice with him. And this is
what led Clerk of Court Hanson to tell a
reporter the following:
A German, bachelor about 80 years
old, came into the Office with broad smile
on his face and asked for a marriage u
cense. After the paper was made out the
German took out his pocketbook to pay
for it, and when the amount was named
the happy man exclaimed:
"Zwei tollar und holt. Mein grashious,
but dot wos sheapr"
Il was surprised, said the clerk, "fo1

legal price of document even of this ma

THE most costly of all metals, save
only gallium, which is worth 50 900 an
ounce, is germanium, which is quoted
at 81 1875 an ounce. Rhodium is worth
S1l2.50 an ounce, ruthenium 800 an
ounce, iridium S37 90 an ounce, osium
S26 an ounce, and palladium $26 an
ounce. The last is about equal in
value to gold. These metals, however,
are of no great commercial importance,
as they are but lightly used.
