From what could be learned of the
workings of the men now directing the
nihilistic groups it would seem thee
is little need of the fear of violent
death on the part of the czar. 1t IS
claimed that they do not aim at blood
shed. particularly the assassination
RusSia's ruler. as history has proven
that to be inef1icacious. Twice within
the present century the cmperors o
Russia were killed by nlhilists, aid
little or no good was accomplished.
Moreover, Alexander ILL.,, father of the
present car was practically worried
into his grave by the fear of assassina-
ton. Emp ror Paul was strangled in
his own bedroom on March "a, 1881,
and in 1872 Alexander II. was blown
up by dynamite. If anything, these
murders added to the burdens of the
oppressed people of Russia
The present plan of the leading nj
hilists is to win the freedom of Rus iia
by educating the masses of the people.
This is a gigantic task, for in no otrer
nation OF the earth are the people SO
complex and numerous. According to
the census of 1896 there are 129 10 mo
people living within the confines Of
the Russian empire. or these there
are S2,000,000 Russian Slavs, 100000
Poles, 100000 Firms, 45vo 900 Lithu-
anians. 100000 Hebrews. 1000, 900
Germans. 5000 900 Tartars. 1000. 900
Caucasian mountaineers and 1000. 900
Of various nationalities. each with its
own language and customs.
1t is the purpose of the present
leaders OF nihilism to arouse all these
people, to an active sense Of their OPP

ton lay the foundation for a revolt
which, in the right moment. will spr-rg
up in every corner of the gre at empire.
With these ends in view it is easy to
understand why the ASSASSINATION OF
single individual is regarded as fu;le
when the great prize of national fr G.
dom is at stake
But the car and his national adviS-
er, Constantine Pobedonos. If, seem TO.
think that there is immediate danger
in the work of the New York nihilists.
For the past four months every mem
Der of note of the New lark group has
been under surveillance This does not
occasion any anxiety, for the reason
that the nihilists claim thd. they have
nothing to conceal. They are not
plotting against the life 81 the CT r,
but they are plotting against the pres
ent system of Russian government
AS for an example of the care TAX N
to spread the propaganda of nihili,m
in Russia it is only necessary to say
that orders have been issued to every
educated worker to apply for positions
as teachers, lecturers, librarians, ere,
in the Sunday schools for working pee
pie. This brings the workers in direct
contact with the masses and enables
them TO include in the legitimate wo'k
of their offices studies on all social
questions, governments, wealth, labor,
justice, wages, profits, law, rents, c1p
ital, etc. There is no pay connected
with such positions, the Sunday schools
of Russia being practically taught "
men and women of this kind, although
the government is now end. avorlng TO
weed out such dangerous teachers.

HOW THE PAPUANS LIVE.
Manner of Their Wooing and the We'd
ding Feast.

At the anthropological congress at
Speyer DR.. Hagen, who lived among
the Papuans of Astrolabe Bay from
1898 to 1895, gave an amusing account
of the life of a Papuan. A Papuan
baby is sucked for a long time. DR..
Hagen saw little boy of about years
run to his father to light cigarette,
and then back to his mother to be
sucked. At the same time the child
is fed with pounded pisang. The
children run about naked till about
years old, when the boys get belt of
rind, the girls a grass skirt. ME boys
are betrothed to much younger
girls, but the marriage does not take
place till the bridegroom is 90 years of
age. One wife is the rule, but there
are cases of one man having three
wives. When a youth is to be be-
trothed he woos his bride in the fol-
lowing manner: He goes to the ASA
house and prepares a cigar in which he
twists one hair from his head, one from
his beard and one from his armpit, and
then he smokes half of the cigar. Then
he takes the remainder to his mother
and begs her to give it to the girl of
his choice. If she finishes the cigar the
affair is concluded. II the mother re-
fuses the embassy, and the young peo-
pie are very much in love- they simply
run away, and live in the woods to-
gether until their parents yield. Dur
ing me period of betrothal the pair
must see as little of each other as pcs
sible. At the wedding there is great
feast and the happy couple divide
betel nut. When the wife dies her hus-
band must paint his face black. One
who had two wives of whom one died,
painted half his face red, the other half
black. Widows must wear mourning
all their lives, even should they marry
again. Papuan children sing quite
pretty songs, the text of which is rather
poetical. 1t is ill-mannerS to ask a
Papuan his name. He considers it as
self-understood that everyone knows
it, and takes it i'll if he is asked To
know their names is a capital way of
winning the favor of the Papuans. who
are very vain. The Papuan is far bet
ter than his reputation, and often bet
ter than his European civilizer.-Lon-

THE TOILET AT NIGHT.
Grooming for the Slumber Hours Ne
cessary to Beauty.

Few women seem to appreciate the
necessity as well as the value OF a
night toilet They reserve all their
grooming methods for daylight trial
and are content to slip into bed with
only hasty attack on their teeth with
the tooth brush and few rapid strokes
of the hair brush upon their locks.
Now. the ultra fashionable sister would
rs soon think Of sighting her toilet
details before she goes to dreamland
as she would venture into the break
fast-room with mcOmbed locks. She
realizes that night is the time to repair
whatever ravages the day has made in
her looks. In the first place, just be-
fore going to bed is the best time to
take Il warm bath. for the bather then
has the entire night to rest II there is
any fatigue attendant upon the hot
Tubing. Night is the proper time to
take a facial steam bath. This pore
cleansing plan Is apt to make the skin
look blotchy and red for time, and It
Is an advantage to be able to apply II
creamy ungucnt and let the par

ing. When there is need of facial
bath of soap and water land there are
times when the skin calls for this

One young girl whose hands are the

that she does her most careful mani

her hands after the digits have been
artfully tended, in cerate gloves In
the morning she has only to wash her
hands in a lather OF CASTLE soap and
warm water or use little almond meal
and they are perfection from wrist to

New York, Sept. 20.-One of the
newspapers here printed ten line
cablegram from Berlin the other day
relating to certain happening at Bres-
lau when the kaiser met the you e
czar of Russia. This seemed ordina y
enough, but when it was read by Ger
tain members of the nihilistic colony
here and spread by them among Their
comrades it created almost IS much eX-
element as the news would of another
outbreak on the part of the terrorists
of Russia. This cablegram briefly re-
cited the fact that the kaiser opened
his speech of welcome by saying: Per
NIT me to lay my thanks at Your
Majesty's feet" Diplomatic courtesy
required the car in replying, to men
ton the kaiser in the opening sentence,
but he said: ~ am imbued with the
same traditional feelings as my fan
en-" This seeming discCurtesy vt
tracted some attention, and to explain
it one of the diplomats in the royal
party said that the ear occasionally
suffered from loss Of memory and that
he meant to say yourself" meaning
the kaiser, instead Of my father"
The cause of the excitement among
'he New York nihilists is that they re-
