Many Ways In Which tho Autocrats Gem
eric Title II Spelled.
As we are upon Russian topics, says
Z Berlin letter to the Philadelphia
Ledger, it may be worth while to re-
fer to the notice under the word czar
in the recently-completed second vol
ume of ''The New English Dictionary"
the monumental work of DR.. Murray
and his associates. "The spelling with
Co." it says, ''is against the usage of
all Slavonic languages. The word was
so spelled by Herberstein in Rerum
Muscovit Commentarii, 1549, the chief
early source Of information as to Rus
sia in western Europe, whence it
passed into the western languages gen.
orally; in some of them it is now old
fashioned. The German form is zar,
and France has recently adopted tsar,
which is also the most suitable Eng
lish spelling" But Isarevitch, some
times used to designate the hereditary
prince, is wrong. He ''has the differ
entiated title, cesarevitch, which is
formed directly on the Latin Caesar,
and not in any Slavonized form of the
word" The Germans translate his
Russian title very closely in calling
him the Grossfurst Thronfolger-liter-
ally, the "Grand-Prince-Th -Throne-Suc-
ceSSor."

FATALIsT, BUT CAUTIOUS.

He Believed in Predestination, But Wanted
to he at Safe Distance.
It was once said by some humorist
that the chances were if a man intent
upon committing suicide should meet
an angry bull in field he would run
to save his life.
And SO it goes, the New York Herald
moralizes. Most men who profess a
belief in destiny and an Indifference to
fate when brought face to face with
danger or placed in desperate situa-
ton seek to avoid rather than embrace
the inevitable result of the event re-
garding which they have held such
philosophical opinions.
A case in point is related by trav-
eler returning from the south, and
hinges upon the experience of minis
ter of the liberalization school of be-
lief on Mississippi steamer in the
good old-fashioned days of river rae
ing. when a negro sat on the safety
valve and the furniture and woodwork
of the boat fed the fire.
The captain seeing q rival boat half
a mile ahead began to curse in true
old-t1me style, and ordered tar pine
knots, naval stores, bacon, etc, to be
thrown in to kindle the fire as hot as
possible. AS the steam got higher and
higher and the old boat trepbled and
groaned under the pressure, the
preacher drew nearer and nearer to
the stern.
Noticing this and never losing an op-
portunity to crack a joke, the bluff
captain tapped the fatalist on the
shoulder and said: "Hello, Brother
Blank, what's ailing you? thought
you was one Of them fellows what be-
lieves what is to happen will happen
nohow."
$50 do" replied the clergyman
drawing himself up. $50 1 do, but I
want to be as near the stern as possi-

OPPOSED 70 ALL PROGRESS


Chinese Aversion to Railroads Manifested
in Curious Ways.
Engineering enterprise in China,
road building, has had, and is still
having, good deal to contend with in
the way of native prejudice, cupidity
and superstition, says Cassell's Maga-
zine. and the tales are many that have
been told of the peculiar difficulties
encountered in that country by
European engineers and engineering
syndicates in the course of their opera
tions. When, for example, the first
railroad was built, number of years
ago, the necessary land, it was stated,
was bought from several hundred
different proprietors, all of whom
wanted additional bounties for the
disturbances Of ancestral graves,
which, as may be known, abound in
what the foreign devil" would be apt
to consider rather unusual localities.
One proprietor claimed to have buried
on his strip Of land no less than five
mothers-in-law, for whom he had to
be paid. Satisfying him naturally re-
suited in marvellous multiplication
of dead mothers-in-law, who thus soon
became the chief item in the cost of
the land. Another curious example of
the difficulties of railroad construc-
ton in the celestial empire has more
recently been mentioned, and has been
afforded by the conduct of the Tartar
general of Moukden, the capital Of
Manchuria, in connection with tho
surveying work of the railroad from
Kirin, another large Manchurian town,
to Newchwang. the seaport of the
province. According to current re.
port it was proposed to make a juno
tion of this line for Moukden at
place short distance outside the city,
but the general got q number Of
geomancers to investigate the effect
OF this selection upon Moukden. These
sages reported that tho yertebrse Of the
dragon which encircles the holy city
of Moukden would be broken by driv-
ing the long spikes of the railroad
ties into them. and accordingly the
general vetoed the decision of the
engineers and directed them to carry
the railroad in straight line from
Kirin to Newchwang, without ap-
preaching Moukden st all. This,
while a shorter route, would compel
the crossing of q low and marshy
tract of land, liable to foods and only
sparselv populated.
