the states power of eminent domain.

No French Vice President.

Absolutely no provision is made by
the constitution for a regency or for a
vice presidency, and it is difficult to
conceive what constitutional course the
French Government could possibly
take were Germany to steal march
upon France during the absence of the
president, say in Russia. In such an
event no one save himself could respond
to an ultimatum, no one but himself
would have the power to legally con-
vene the national legislature, and IL
it met Of it's own accord it could not
take any legal action whatsoever, not
even the voting OF supplies. Moreover,
he might experience difficulty in re-
turning home to France, since the tri-
pie alliance would hardly permit him
to cross their territory by rail, while
an endeavor would be made to inter-
cept any French cruiser or man-of-war
deputed to bring him back. From this
1t would be seen that there are certain
drawbacks even to the Office of the
president of the French republic.

some fifty miles from st. Petersburg,

village is situated the Imperial School

PROTECTS USERS OF ROYAL"

Baking Powder Company Wins It's Case
In United States Court.
The decision of Judge Showalter in a
recent case that came up before him
sustains the claims Of the Royal COM
pany to the exclusive use Of the name
Royal as a trademark for its baking
powder. The special Importance of this
decision consists in the protection
which it assures to the millions Of con-
sumers Of Royal baking powder against
inferior and unwholesome compounds.
The excellence of this article has caused
it to be highly esteemed and largely
used almost the world over. It's high
standard Of quality having been always
maintained, consumers have come to
rely implicitly upon the Royal brand
as the most wholesome and efficient Of
any in the market. The cupidity of
other manufacturers is excited by this
high reputation and large demand. Very
few of the hundreds of baking powders
on the market are safe to use. If their
makers could sell them under the name
Of well known. reputable brand meal
culable damage would be done to the
public health by the deception. The
determination Of the Royal Baking
Powder Company to protect the users of
the Royal baking powder against imi-
tators by rigid prosecution OF them
makes such limitations of its brand ex-
tremely rare.

She is of lovable disposition and the light
Of the social set in which she moves. For
two years she has been a sick girl from in

reporter the following interesting account:

NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA.
czarina grew up more English in senti-
ment and training than many OF her
English cousins. Princess Alix was
called by this curious modification of
her mothers name because Queen Vic
toria found that the name OF Alice was
so badly pronounced by the Germans.
The little princess received in addition
the names Of her aunts, Helena, Vic
toria Louise. and Beatrice. In her
childhood she was called sunny" from
the brightness Of her temperament, but
after the loss Of her mother and father
the grand duke died in 1S92-she be-
came more serious. From childhood
she was remarkable for distinct char
acter and individuality of her own, and
this was shown last year in connection
with her entry into the Eastern Or
thodox church. For the last seven
centuries nearly all the czars have gone
abroad for their brides, who. in every
instance. have been. baptized into the
Russian faith. In the case OF Prin-

The czarina is one of Queen Victoria's
many grandchildren. She is the
youngest child of the late Grand Duke
and Duchess of Hesse- Darmstadt. Her
mother, Princess Alice, perhaps the
most popular member of the English
royal family, died when the little Alix
was only six years of age. and from
that time the child was cared for al
most exclusively by her grandmother,
Queen Victoria, whose special favorite
she has always been. She was sur
rounded by nurses, attendants and gov

Some say that the hypo-

to prevent and cure consump-
ton, if taken in time. With
out doubt they exert great
good in the beginning stages;
they improve the appetite, pro-
mote digestion and tone up
the nervous system. But they
lack the peculiar medicinal
properties, and the fat, found
in cod-liver oil. The hypo-

the cod-liver oil is valuable.

any shoe, no matter what may be the
endurance of the wearer But, On the au-
thority Of the most experienced dealers,
we find it true that the majority of feet
are distorted and turned from their nat
ural growth by the obstinate and mis-
placed vanity of the general shoe buy
er. Very few persons get their shoes
long enough. The great foot folly lies
right here. The masses buy short,
broad shoes, so that widths such as
double c and double d, that ought never
10 De manufactured, are in much de-
mand. When a woman tells the size
OF her foot she likes to make use of a
short number-nothing is said about
the breadth.
Inc best authorities assure us that
any one could have what sculptors call
the perfect foot, long, narrow one, If
mothers would only begin with the first
SHOES to put their children in those that
are little longer than the foot, add
ing all the extra space necessary before
the toes instead Of at the sides, as they
are for some unaccountable reason so
prone to do. Thus, without injury, but
rather to the advantage Of the foot, a
pleasing shape may early be secured at
the expense Of the present squat ex-
tremities.
The Other day woman who had
worn her shoes so short that her feet
mad bumped themselves up at the in
step in the most unsightly protuber-
ances, told salesman who tried to per-
suade her to lessen the width and to in
crease the length of a new purchase,
that she was considered by her friends
to have a perfect Trilby foot" She
added, with toss of her head: "A
longer size, indeed! Why, my foot was
modelled on the other side"'
For what, unless it were as mon
strosity?" thought another customer
who overheard the remark.
The Chinese are not the only race
who disfgure their useful extremities
They go Systematically to work to ac-
complish their deformities, while our
women do it by blindly ignoring the
pedal space that nature has allotted
them. The Monaghan feet are short
ened by a long turning up Of the toes,
ours by cramping the members till the
instep is slowly raised in self-defense
A naturally high instep is a thing Of
beauty, but one that is elevated by force
is nothing but grotesque.
And (but Of course this is a secret we
find, il shoe dealers are to be trusted,
that women are not alone in this van
ity. They declare that men commit the
same folly of broad and short, and, what
is oldest Of all, that country people ares
much more prone to it than city-bred
men and women.
Another word Of warning may prove
useful, as 1t seems not generally to be
understood, that when one goes into a
shop TO try on shoes the feet are con-
tracted from the exercise Of walking.
and are in the best condition of making
them feel easy and comfortable. Due
allowance should be made, too, for the
first morning hours, when, after a
nights idleness, the feet are somewhat
enlarged, and quite likely to be aggres-
sive in the matter of space.
