4 Ruler OF Simple Habits Who Hates AL
Ceremony.
The correspondent of the London
Times in Paris says that the French
will be greatly disappointed if they
think that a general or an admiral, as
m ambassador in st. Petersburg, will
be more successful in getting the ear
of the car than plain citizen. The
fact is, he says, that the car never
gives an audience. He then continues:
This man, who disposes Of one of the
vastest empires in the world, before
whom everything falls down, whom no
one resists, for whom it is enough that
he should raise little finger to set in
movement millions and millions of
men, is neither a soldier nor a sailor
nor diplomat. might add that he is
almost what is known here as bour-
geois. He has horror of fetes, he de-
tests ceremonies, he loves neither mill
tary nor naval reviews. He adores his
family and is contented only with them.
He is not one of those Russians who
are half savage, half Machiavel, he
is rather q simple mujik, lover of
truth and q speaker of it. When he
returns to st. Petersburg he bids
the diplomatic corps not to come to
meet him. When he presides per-
force at review, he leaves the field as
soon as possible and is pleased to get
down from his horse, for he does not
like it. At Copenhagen his greatest
pleasure consisted in going out in q
short coat and a soft hat, mingling
with the pedestrians who pretended
not to recognize him, and in taking q
cab. Indeed, he once amused himself
in very odd fashion, he and all his
family taking q tramcar to go into the
country. In politics as in everything
else the cars ideas are simple. He is
not communicative because he does
not know how to develop his thoughts.
He has never spoken for five consecu-
tive minutes in his life. When he is in
Denmark or in the Crimea. as his gov
eminent accompanies him, he devotes
half an hour a day to signing papers,
and that constitutes the only bust
ness. The military attaches see him
ut the reviews, but there is no possible
chance OF conversation with him. An
ambassador may see him when a ball
is given in his honor, but he can have
no conversation with him; or he may
see him at a ball at another ambassa-
doris or at some small court reception,
but these occasions are rare

THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ROSES.
Pathetic Incident in . Waits School ut
Pittsburgh.

Two ladies. managers, came into the
school the other morning shortly after
it had opened. One of them wore a
beautiful jacqueminot rose, on which
the eyes of the whole school were at
once turned admiringly. Noting this,
says the Pittsburgh Chronicle, the
owner of the flower gave it to one of
the teachers for the children.
Now, children, how many of you
know what this is?" asked the young
lady, holding up the flower. Nearly
every little one shook his head to indi-
cate ignorance.
One small boy and a couple of little
girls piped out with great Importance:
''It's posie, please ma'am."
But no one had ever heard Of a rose.
Most of the children had never seen
one before. The flower was passed
along the line and small noses fingered
longingly over its fragrance, while
dirty little palms patted it's velvet
petals caressingly. No one saw or
thought of anything that morning but
the rose. The teacher put it in glass
of water to preserve it, and when
school was dismissed each child was
rendered supremely blissful by the gift
OF tiny petal. AS they fed out Of
the door each little waif clutched his
treasure tightly in his small hand
while he murmured softly to himself
the name: ''Pitty wose, pity wose."

E-Artists know, if others do not, that
there. are states Of the atmosphere
which soften outlines when they do
not conceal them. That is one reason
why they like the moist, silvery air of
Holland and the gray effects so common
in France. The air in this country,
even on the coast, is brighter and
drier, but occasionally, at this time Of
year, the air and sun seem to play
tricks with the eye. On q recent day
when the sun was overcast and the air
chill and humid, giving an impression
of thickness that would make objects
invisible at distance of two miles, it
was noticed that from the upper win
dows Of the tall Office buildings the
hills about Paterson and Navesink
Highlands were as plainly to be seen as
in the sharpest October sunlight. But
all detail was blurred, and the hills ap-
peared as masses of gray-blue, as the
painter likes to see them.

MAKING LOVE FOR HIRE.
The "Cutter-Out," Who Is Employed to
Break Tn Undesirable Attachments.

y =
A new professionalism OF the cut
ter-out"-is thus discussed by the sat
urlay Review: The world is over-popu-
lated with amiable, good-looking
Young men, highly educated, healthy
and wholly incapable of earning their
livelihoods. No ingenuity can provide
berths for all Of them. but some might
be employed as 'cutters-out.' This is
q new profession. The duties of the
'cutter-out' are few. simple and agree
able. He or she has merely to make
love and to ride away Thus, put it
that some ones daughter, niece, or, 1t
may be, favorite cousin, has become
engaged to a man who is not liked or
approved by the family. To resist her
choice is futile. Opposition merely
fans the flame of passion. Soyou send
n note or telegram to the central office
of the Societ.. for the Utilization of
Johnnies,' AMI they dispatch a cutter
out. He is young. handsome, agreea-
bic. perhaps Il lord or an honorable-a
baronet very likely. His duty may be
explained in Il word-hc is to cut out
the Young lady's aiiianced lover. to
make her out of conceit with that disa
greeable person. and then to retire
gracefully to some outlandish part of
the globe. The scheme is peculiarly
valuable to parents, but anyone may
make use of it. OF course there may
also be, and should be, female cutters
out, to be slipped at young men who
have entangled their affections unde-
sirably. Lord Algernon is fond Of
the rector's daughter, of the gardeners
daughter, or whom you will. In
stead of crying. if you are his lady
mother, or swearing, if you are the
duke. You send up to the Central depot
for really first-class cutter-out, mar
ried lady preferred. In a very few
weeks the rector's daughter, or the
gardeners daughter, is as disconsolate
as Calypso, and then the cutter-out
disappears, carrying with her the re-
spectful homage Of the family whom
she has rescued"

Britain's Boundaries,

Y The British make the proud boast
that on the queens dominions the sun
never sets, but recently compiled sta
tistics go to show that on the central
and most important part Of those do
minions it seldom rises. George w.
Bell told the Royal Botanical society
the other day that during last year
England had had 1874 hours Of sun
shine out of a possible 1880, and that,
he said, was better than for the last
five years, of which the average was
1887 hours. He related as q remark
able fact that one day recently the sun
had shone in the society's gardens for
eight and half consecutive hours, an
almost unprecedented thing at this
season of the year.

There grows upon the sands of the
Atlantic coast, at least as far north as
the Virginia line, little cactus with a
pretty yellow flower. 1t flourishes in
the dryest seasons and where nought
but bare sand is visible for many
square yards. The secret Of its sturdy
growth amid hard conditions is found,
perhaps, in the character Of its roots.
They are long and tough, like Irvine
cords, and, radiating in several direc-
tions, they convey to the plant what
ever moisture the ground contains for
yards around. Oddly enough, too, this
cactus, when torn up by the roots and
conveyed north, seems to live on indefi-
nitely under entirely new conditions,
its roots cut short, planted in clay soil,
and abundantly watered.

u WOMEN AS SHOEBLACkS.

They Are Numerous In France and Some
~ Have Married Rich Customers.
HA custom is rapidly gaining ground
in France, and especially in Toulon
and certain other towns, which, it may
safely be prophesied, will not find
much imitation in this country. This
is the employment of women as street
shoeblacks.
The French women shoeblacks are
most coquettishly gotten up, and as to
their caps and frills have somewhat
the appearance of hospital nurses, and
it is surprising that though their occu-
patton is tolerably dirty one, they al
ways seem clean and tidy; some Of
them are doing the polishing in gaunt-
let gloves.
In the towns in which they are en-
ployed they certainly are a success Pc
cuniarily, especially where English
and American visitors, who generally
seem to treat the whole affair as q
good joke, are numerous.
1t is said that one reason for the oc-
cupation being a popular one among
women of a certain grade in life is that
many of the fair polishers have mar
ried opulent customers who have been
impressed by their shining qualities.
