WHAT THE GRAND DUKE HEARD.
European Officers Discussed the Capture
of American Cities.

European Officers Discussed the Capture
of American Cities.
The Grand Duke Alexis was at Kiel.
He Is full Russian admiral now, and
the head of the Russian navy. He was
frequent visitor to the Americans, and,
like all the other notables, talked with
the utmost frankness to our officers.
One day, watching the Columbia as
she rode the waves as lightly and with
the easy grace of a blue wing teal, the
grand duke said to captain: I'm glad
you Americans are rebuilding your fleet.
Do you know what most impressed me
when visited your country? Let me
tell you. The first thing was your WON
derful national wealth; the second, the
absolutely inadequate means at your dis
posal for national defense. You were
like drunken man with pockets full of
money and two or three hungry ruffians
on the dark side of the street waiting a
chance to attack him. -
why, do you mean to say began
the somewhat startled captain, when
the Russian put his hand on the other S
arm and said ''Twice in my career

them for ransom deliberately discussed

Almost every renowned man Of an
tiquity i'll the middle ages was believed
to be attended by spiritus familiaris,
and not few We're suspected Of being
in direct league with the devil. Proba-
bly, the oldest legend of which the Faust
legend is u continuous thread is that of
Simon Magus, mentioned i'll the history
of the apost les.
According to Justin, he was native
Of Clifton, village in Samaria. He
was, no doubt, a man of great inteliec-
tual powers, He was the father of the
school Of the Gnostics. 1t is also report
ed of him that he could make himself
invisible, that he could pass through
flames unframed, could transpose mat
ter, make gold and exercise demous-in
fact, he laid claim to all these powers
and his name lived in the mouths of the
people as "A sort of Demiurg through
many centuries until some other miracle
working personality took his place at
the popular Preside. Unusual accom-
plshments, great erudition, were at
tributed to the supernatural influence,
and the general disposition to supersti-
tious assumption was strengthened on
the one hand by dogmatic affirmation
on the part of the church of the exist
ence of personal satan, with his nu-
merous household, and, on the other
hand, by incorporating the magic arts
among the practical sciences, of which
astrology and alchemy occupied no mean
part. -Menorah.

WHEN MEN WEEP,
Neither Pain Nor Grief Which, as a Rule,
Moves Them to Tears.

Neither Pain Nor Grief Which, Rule,
Moves Them to Tears.
1t is one of the first laws of tho phi
losophy of emotion that men shall not
cry. They must find some other outlet
for their pent up feelings. Swearing is
the most natural expedient, but as this
is considerably worse than crying the
safest plan perhaps is to make frequent
use Of the expressions Dear mel p and
Goodness gracious!" which are per
fectly harmless.
There are, as every one must know,
times when even the strongest men are
overcome by their feelings, and a terri
bly, heart rendine sight it is to see big
frame convulsed with sobs and proud,
manly face stained with tears.
As a rule however, it is neither pain
nor grief which will make man cry
Soldiers, who Will bear excruciating in
juries without moan, have been
known to break down when the lights
are lowered and some very thrilling
scene is portrayed on the Adelphi boards.
Orators and singers are both subject
in an extraordinary degree to the sway
of emotion. Tears are no uncommon
sight in pulpit. In fact, there are few
preachers whose voices are not at times
so full that they are choked with feeling
and their eyes bedimmed with tears.

The great Spurgeon would often break

HAIR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
One OF the Many Important Factors In
Murder Cases,


In centuries past the human hair
played an important part in all judicial
proceedings. Those that were permitted
to wear beard and hair had rights that
could not be claimed by the shorn and
shaved When men made oath, they
touched their beard and hair, and wom-
Ell placed the finger tips of the right
hand on their tresses
Servants We're obliged to have their
hair cut, and if freedman went into
slavery he had to divest himself of his
hirsute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved and the shaving of
beard and hair was punishment in
ficted on criminals. The Jurisprudence
of our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair" for small offenses
and "by neck and hand" for greater
crimes.
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied by it, and wizards and
witches knew of connections Of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats hair
was especially named in the category Of
poisonous hairs, and even at the begin
ming Of the seventeenth century Paulus
Zacchias, a famous physician, writes of
the virulent poison of the hair of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti.
tious beliefs have gone out of existence,
and only Malays give their enemies
tiger hairs in broth to kill them.
Hair today, however, is one of the
important factors in deciding murder
cases, and the microscopic examination
of hair, where it is found in criminal
cases under suspicious circumstances is
invariable
The first thing the coroner is called
upon to determine is whether the hai1
is from man or beast The microscope
determines this beyond peradventure
Animal hair differs in construction from
that grown on human head. In human
hair the upper skin is smooth and thin
The circular section is mparatively
broad, forming the main part of the
hair shaft 1t is striped in appearance
and carries the color matter. The tubu-
lar part is thin, extending to about one
fifth and certainly not more than to
one-quarter of the entire width of the
hair.
Animal hair also consists of three
parts, but these are differently con
structed, the tube often filling the en-
tire hair. The ends of the hair must be
closely watched, and especially woman s
hair will be found ragged and torn at
the ends.
The hair from boards is usually the
thickest, its diameter being rs much as
0. 10 millimeters, while hair from female
heads can be as fine as n diameter of 0. 06
millimeters would make t.--St. Louis

A FASHIONABLE RUSE.
That Things Are Not Always What They
Seem Evidenced In This Case.

Seem Evidenced In This Case.
The season of weddings taxes the in
genuity no less than the purses of fash
ionable devotees. The receptions to
which many of the so called upper crust
resort to discharge social obligations are
almost incredible to old fogies not in
the swim. 1t has long been the accepted
custom of brides who receive many du-
plicate presents to exchange the same at
the stores where they were purchased.
When the articles have not been marked
Or defaced in any manner merchants, as

A volume might be written on the
revelations that this custom has often
brought about. 1t has been the unguessed
cause Of more than one social sensation.
Less than year ago fashionable bride
of Gotham received n gorgeously snowy
gift in repousse silver from an old school
girl friend, daughter of multimillion-
ARE. The present was displayed i'll a
beautiful box bearing the stamp of a
famous house, and attracted unusual at
tention from the guests. Several months
after the wedding the bride, in an I'M
lucky moment, took this apparently
gorgeous gift, together with others, to
exchange for articles for which she had
more immediate need.
When the selections she made were
delivered at her residence she was sur
prised to find the repousse silver. A
note from the firm stated that the silver
had not been purchased at their store.
1t was plated goods. They added, how
ever, that they had detected the trade

STAGE FRIGHT.

Not the Sight of the Audience, but the
Sound, the Cause of 1t, an Actor Says.
In discussing stage fright an old actor
said:
ut is not the sight of the audience SO
much as its sound that worries the be-
ginner. Probably very few persons real.
ize what noise an average audience
makes 1t is not loud or definite, but
steady suppressed hum, like the whir
Of the Broadway cable. 1t is the combi-
nation of those little noises which are
present in every large resemblance, no
matter how attentive and respectful
One moves an arm, another adjusts
skirt, third rustles programme,
fourth coughs, and so ON. 1t is the
strangeness and Indebtedness Of the
conglomerate of these sounds that star
ties and upsets the beginner. He cannot
analyze them and they sound angry
and threatening to him.

that there is no escape.

a man who has made study Of
women and their ways remarked the
otler day that women are. as set, less
trank and truthful than men, Whatever
truth there is in tins assertion we may
be sure II Is At least not innate, but due
to the difference in the requirements of
the Two SEX. and the consequent diff.
ference in their education. Men are
taught to reveal true natures from the
cradle to the grave. Men arc taught
that, being human, they are subject to
various passions and liable to fall into
error which II is not necessary for them
to conceal, for if they deviate from the
straight and narrow path the world will
quickly forget and forgive. Women, on
the contrary. are taught that if they are
not inwardly statues Of decorum, they
must make 1t appear that they are, for
the world is mcrclleSs to one Of their
sex who by word or deed hints that the
smallest lettering on her pedestal, not
to mention even momentary descent
from it, is possible.
In short, women are required to con-
ceal their real human selves from all
beholders as absolutely as they conceal
their lower limbs in the conventional
draperies of femininity, while men are as
free to reveal their real selves to the
world as to clothe themselves in the
neither garments of their sex But con
cealment or lack of frankness is by no
means untruthfulness. philadelphia
