In Portugal bicycles have been intro.

In Spain bicycle instruction in the
infantry and rifle corps now forms a

the more enlightened nations of the

aware of the true state of affairs. and
of the regard in which Russia has been
held by the world at large. 1t is be-

over Alexander by his old tutor NJ.
Pobiedonostseff This man has always
been a conservative of the conserva-

the very quintessence of the medieval
spirit and the present situation in Rus
STA is undeniably of his creation. Po-
biedonostseff was originally a lawyer by

There was one, however, of which he
was a victim early in life, and before
his marriage, which If ii had not been

have been enamored of her. Alexan-

to marry him. Then word of the en-

princess was forced to marry Prince
Paul Demidoff. He was a man whose
social eccentricities were SO marked

in the Russian capital, and the prin
cess protested with many tears against
the match, consenting only when al

had given her up were presented to
