The new Gar is setting out benignly,
as his father did. 1t is to be hoped no
tragic incident will be precipitated up
on his career before he has had time
to show whether he really favors re-
forms In Russia or not. Had the late
Emperor not been attacked savagely
before he could undertake to fulfill the
testament of the first Nicholas, the his.
tory of Russia might be different from
what 1t Is. Unfortunately, there is
good ground for fearing that the mild.
ness of the present ruler is due to weak.

Why the Girls Giggled.

At place of worship in North Lon
don funny incident occurred on
recent Sunday, A young man who
carried collecting plate after the SER
vice, before starting put his hand in
his pocket and placed, as he supposed,
shilling into the plate, and then
passed it around among the congrega-
tion, which included many young and
pretty girls. The girls, as they looked
on the plate, all seemed astonished
and amused, and the young man, TAX
ing glance at the plate, found that
he had put instead of shilling a con.
versation lozenger on the plate, with
the words, "Will you marry me?" in
red letters staring everybody in the
face, while one of the congregation
had capped it by a second lozenger,
on which was printed, "Name the

hidden, brought it forward. was
about to unloose my diamond locket
from my watch chain, but on the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Cook let up on it, and
turned over the balance of my valu"
ables to the robbers.
"The second man robbed was New
York drummer, and then came an
English tourist. AS he marched to
the front in an abbreviated costume
he trembled like o leaf in an Oklahoma
cyclone.
"'What will you 'ave?' he inquired.
"Cook looked at him moment.
" 'Pard, said he, IF you want to go
back to the Johnny Bulls, you'd better
divvy up. Put her in that sack
"'W'ere's the sack 2 the Englishman
inquired.
'"The sack was in front of him, large
enough for an OK to jump into, but he
seemed to have lost sight of every
thing for the moment. Bill Cook in
dicated where the sack was, and the
English tourist dropped everything
into it, including his tooth brush.
"After finishing with the passen-
gers, Cook lined up the trainmen and
five or six of the passengers and then
gave the orders:
Forward, march !"
"On they marched, the Hoosier
with the sack keeping just in front of
the brigand. After the sack had been
turned over to q forbidding-looking
individual, who seemed to be the
treasurer and general manager of the
band, the prisoners wero drawn up in
line in front of the express car. and
Cook then yelled to the messengers on
the inside that unless they opened up
that car every one of the prisoners
would be shot down. On this informa-
ton the expressman on the inside of
the car swung the door wide open,
dropped his gun on Cook, and dis
charged four shots at him, which he
says undoubtedly took effect, as Cook
was seen to roll over and over on the
ground.
''At that moment a train was heard
coming from Muscogee, which alarmed
the brigands, who Immediately mount
ed their horses and fled to the hills.
1t took some time to inspect the train
and get it started, and it took some
more time for the passengers to crawl
out of their hiding places. In the
course of the night, however, conf
dence was fully restored, and some of
the passengers waxed very warm and
were heard to exclaim that if robbers
should show their faces again they
would get hot reception. There
were now some very brave men, who
an hour before looked like dead men.
The Englishman suffered from dis
gust. He said:
" Gentlemen, doye know, cawn't
understand this blawsted country.
'Pon me word, this was the most un-
gentlemanly performance 1 have'ever
experienced in my life.

The Secretary of the Navy asks that
he be allowed to construct twelve
torpedo boats of from 100 to 300 tons
each, to cost not exceeding an average
Of $4,000. This is not an unreasona-
BILE request, in view of the fact that
while the United States. with its exten-
siye sea coast, has but six of these
boats, including the three about to be
built, Argentina, Brazil and Chile have
twenty-five each, Germany 12T En-
gland 10, and France 214. The value
Of these boats is so generally recognized
abroad that large numbers of them are
being constructed for European navies.

Big Hive Full of Honey.

Mrs. John Welsh, of the town of
Suamico, Wis, has obtained between
400 and 500 pounds of honey in n sin
gular manner. Her boy, Philip,
while in the woods, observed the mark

sixteen feet of its length was filled
with honey. Tho tree was about
three feet in diameter, and the shell
was only about three inches thick.

The Value OF Minutes.

A party of ladies and gentlemen
were lately visiting large carpet
manufactory, and the manager took
them over the floors of the establish
ment. On ascending one of the stair
cases they came to locked door, on
which the following inscription was
painted:
"Strangers not admitted under any
circumstances.
The curiosity of the ladies was eX-
cited to high pitch, and they in
quired almost in one breath: "What-
ever is to be seen inside?"
"That is one of our workrooms in
which $50 women are employed in en-
broidering carpets" answered the
manager.
'Oh, how we should just like to
have peep at them! - exclaimed the
ladies.
81 am very sorry 1 cannot comply
with your WISH" said the gentleman,
with shrug of his shoulders, "but
our rules do not admit of the slightest
exception. Truth to say, there is
nothing special to be seen, nor Is
there any question of trade secrets.

The First Postage Stamp.

Partisan stamp collectors have been
discussing the question whether the
English stamp of 1910, called the
Rowland Hill stamp, is really the old.
est in existence, and the conclusion
arrived at is opposed to this view.
They claim that the first French stamp
dates from nearly two centuries
earlier, IN 1868. In that year people
used to buy Mt the Palais de Justice,
in Paris, "billets de port paye," or
carriage paid tickets, with which the
carriage of letters for any place within
the capital could be prepaid. One of
these tickets is said to be in the pos
session of NJ. Feuillet de Conches. 1t

Minister and academic,an, on letter
addressed by him to Mile. Scudery,

In the country of fair weather and sweet

While the lowing ofthe cattle sounds so far

And the bleeting of the sheep along the

wandered from my mother
And my father In the lowly cabin home;
Now I'm going back to sec them, and our
lips to one another
Will be better than the honey in the comb.

Growing Appreciation of Silence.

Even in children-and children are
supposed to enjoy noise of the most
maddening kind-I can see the grow
ing appreciation of silence. A few
months ago, when we escaped for a
while from the din of the town to the
quiet hamlet where I yearly recruit
my noise-shattered nerves, my little
girl of seven said on our first evening
in the country; "Isn'tit nice to listen
to the silence?" The advance of the
savage toward civilization is marked
by the abatement of noise. The more
savage the tribe the more noise it re-
quires. North American Review.

He looked, indeed, an old man.

at once. ''He did not know who it

taken off her prim bonnet and seated
herself near him. "But all our poor
people; you still have them to live
for"
"That's what keep saying to my
self, but all the sunshine is gone and
it looks such long way to the end"
"But it is better to know the truth"
she said, rather lamely.

1 didn't know till just now-all that
you've been to me all these years, and
but for my own folly and madness you
might have been with me, close at my
side all these long, long years, for you
did love me once, didn't you, Celia? ?"
She was silent.
"At least" he went on hesitatingly,
eff you had been my wife you would
have learned to love me"
Learned to love you! Oh, my
dear! !"
Her tone thrilled him to tho soul.
Her head was down on the arm of his
chair, and his hand very gently and
uncertainty touched her smooth, faded
hair.
"You didn't mean-why, Celia, my
dear, my dear!"
For her arms were round his neck,
and her face against his, and for that
one good minute the long years of sor
row seemed not too heavy a price.

had grown young and pretty again
