The Title of Czar.

In the second half of the sixteenth century this imperial Russian title was certainly acknowledged by English sov- ereigns. Sufficient proof of it is con- tained in Richard Hakluyt's work.

 'The copie of the Duke of Moscouie and Emperour of Russia his letters, sent to King Edward the Sixt, by the hands of Richard Chancellour /" It begins thus "We, great Duke Ivan Vasilivich, by! the grace of God great lord and Emperor of all Russia. great Duke of Volodomer, Mosco, and Novograd, King of Kasan, King of Astracan. lord of Plesko, and great Duke of Smelensko, etc. Richard Chancellor also speaks of the Russian "Emperours or Dukes" |" He says: "This Duke is Lord and Emperour of many countreis, and his power is marvellous great" Sir Hugh Willoughby also calls the Russian monerchs "Emperours. The title of the then ruling czar. he re- ports, was loudly pronounced at court as ''the great Duke of Moscovie and chiefe Emperour of Russia, John Basili- wich." Again, John Hasse and others always mention the czar under the ap-l pellation of "the Emperour of Russia. " --Fortnightly Review.

 now that he became an out and out siI- yer leader. Before that it had been thought he favored free coinage because of supposed strong continent among his constituents favorable to this legis- lation. But now he showed that his heart and soul were in the cause.
 His speech against the repeal of the Sherman silver coinage act was one of the most remarkable ever heard in the house. For three hours he held the close attention of the largest audience, both on the floor and in the galleries. drawn to the capitol during that session.

fact. Thoroughly familiar with the sub jects to. be discussed. he was equipped with statistical and historical informa- tion and WAS ever ready to meet the points of his opponent on economic as well as political grounds.
 From the outset his advantage was so marked that Councils friends recem- mended him to find some excuse to draw out of the contest, but with more per- sistence than discretion he refused to hearken to their advice, and when the votes were counted itwas found that he had been showed under by a majority of nearly 1000.
 Bryan, an obscure, struggling lawyer in 8 small Nebraska town, with small income and gloomy prospects, came to congress with the overwhelming Demo- cratic majority which recorded the country's rebuke of McKinleyism.
 Of the hundred and more young mem- bers who then appeared in congress he

masses of the people. She has a sweet and well trained voice in talking, and the men and women who penetrate her reserve appreciate her honesty of pur-. pose and sincerity. She despises shams of every kind, and, above all, is natural and unaffected.
 Mir. Bryan lives we'll in commodious dwelling in the fashionable part of Lin coin. His family consists of Mrs Bryan; Ruth, aged II; William J., Jr., aged 6. and Grace, aged 5. The study, in which both MT. and Mrs Bryan have desks, is very attractive room. It is filled with books, statuary and memehtos of cam- paigns. There are busts or portraits of noted men, and there are two butcher knives which MT. Bryan used in the campaign with Field to refute the lat ter's boast of the effects of high protec- tion.
 Last year MT. Bryan was asked if he had any aspirations looking to the White House, and he said: "No, have no wish to be presidential candidate. neither now nor in the years to come My whole thought now is centered on my family and my profession so far as my own personal desires go. I was brought up in the country and I wish my children to have some of the same rearing. They are now of the age when they need fathers care, and wish to get into practice again, for very much enjoy the law, which has been neces- sarily abandoned during my four years in Washington. <"
 Concerning his speech at the conven-, tion which nominated him for president, Hon. Amos Cummings says: "Last of all came Bryan. He administered the coup de grace to the rising hopes of the adherents of the single standard. He tripped lightly up the steps of the plat-l

As he stood before the convention, pale, mod est and unassuming, he looked the per- feet picture of Samuel J. Randall, real tribune of the people. His voice filled the hall, apparently without effort. His gestures were the acme of grace as he paced backward and forward in easy familiarity with his hearers. There was no self consciousness in either action or utterance. The words poured forth in rhythmioal volume, furnishing his ideas and facts until they shone like dia- monds. His topics, similes and meta- phors were marvellous The whole speech was iridescent. The delegates sat as if enchanted, breaking into ap- plause at odd moments as though touched by electric wires. It was a display of eloquence pure and undefled, something that recalled the days of Seargent s. Prentiss or of David Paul Brown.
 Henry Clay himself could not have created so great a furore. shall not at tempt to describe it. Pale and exhausted, but with flashing eyes and smiling face, he was raised to the shoulders of the Nebraska delegation, while the guidons of three-fourths of the states were dancing around him. There was an ocean of applause while it lasted, those bearing the guidons marching in procession around the delegates, shout ing choruses of satisfaction. It was a tribute never before paid to living orator o

sories of oratory. Nature richly lowered him with rare grace, He is happy in att titude and pose. His gestures are on Hogarths line of beauty. Mellifuous is the word that most aptly describes his voice. It is strong enough to be heard by thousands; it is sweet enough te charm those least inclined to music. It is so modulated as not to vex the ear with monotony, and can be stern or pa- thetic, fierce or gentle, serious or hu- morous with the varying emotions of it's master.
 There is evidence in every word he utters that in his youth Bryan had care ful elocutionary training. He enriches his speeches with illustrations from the classics or from the common occurrences of everyday life with equal felicity and facility. Some passages from his orations are gems and are being used al declamations by boys at school. But hi crowning gift as an orator is his evident

Seal. s.r.prled by Lobster Pc. Hoops.

Seals are to fish and Holsters what hawks are to mice and snakes. Some times seals, young ones especially, get into trouble because of their amateur attempts at capturing food
 Gameland tells story in which the follies of seal youth were paid for in theI days of maturity. A. s. Agnes of Pulpit Harbor, Me, found two dead seals about whose necks were lobster pot funnel hoops so tightly fastened that the ani-| mals had been choked to death by them. When the seals were small and inexpe-E rienced they had come across lobster pots in which were Holsters. and in try ing to get at them had got the hoopsI fast about their necks. At last the neeks1 had grown so large that the seals were strangled. New York Sun ]
