London Letter in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
L heard an interesting story the other day
about the CZarina of Russia. which, so far
as l know, has never yet been published
anywhere. When the young German prin-
cess first came to occupy the imperial
throne with the Little Father she was
inexperienced and IMMERSED in the hollow
and polished diplomacy of the court life of
the richest empire in the world. Her up
bringing had been to a certain extent al
most bourgeoise in its simplicity. for the
Grand Duke of Hesse's court was never a
brilliant one and, of course. these German
municipalities are seldom rich. AS a girl
princess Alix had always been sort of
lady bountiful to ali manner of poor women
in HesSe. She was a bride of only few
weeks when she wrote letters TO the great
ladies of her court and said that she would
esteem 1t greatly II they from their plenty
could spare a few contributions of warm
clothes for cause in which she was deeply
interested.
discomfort in the Russian court just then.
that this little German princess should
come to share the life of the Car of all
the Russias. These indictments (women of
the highest rank) considered how they
could without offending in the slightest
way the rules of courtly custom humiliate
this young German who seemed so cold
and proud, and who yet took such an inter-
est in the affairs of mere peasants. Finally
the plot was laid. and one day there ar
rived at the winter palace. great box for
the Empress, which on being opened proved
to be three magnificent dresses--a ball
gown. a carriage costume and a dinner
dress. These were sent to the Empress
with the homage of the ladies of her i'm
perial court
AS the Empress at that time was dressing
simply and almost dowdily, the insult was
unmistakable. but the matter was never re-
ferred TO again. The dresses were sold and
the proceeds given to the Empress's poor.
and it is since that time that her imperial
Majesty the Empress Alexandra Feodo-
rovna has been renowned for being the
most gorgeously dressed of all the feminine
crowned heads of Europe.

STAGE SCENERY.
Details of It's Preparation and Man.
agememt-The Property Man.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The. methods Of making production
vary little with different managers. After
the manuscript of "a play has been care
fully studied by the stage manager to ar
range the movements of the characters and
the places of their exits, entrances, ETC.,
he knows exactly where doors, windows
and entrances will be required. He is also
in a position to suggest architectural pc
Culiarities required in the presentation.
He thep interviews the scene painter, and
the two exchange ideas. The manager
sometimes joins in these discussions, and
the question of expense is carefully con-
sidered. Similar effects can be produced in
various ways A mountain glen, for ex-
ample. can be painted entirely on a
drop" the effect of distance, perspective,
etc, being produced in the painting. An
other and more expensive way is to build
the various parts of the scene separately,
representing only the distant portions of the
scene on the back drop. The cost of a
single drop" varies from S35 for the poorer
kind to SIS, 500 or $50 for the work of we'll
known men. A set scene costs from 5000
to $500. In some cases of particular elabo-
ration the price is greater. As general
rule, handsome exteriOrS are more expen-
In painting scenes it is necessary for the
artist to preserve the harmony of color re-
quired in the production. The heroine s
ing, and the influence OF scenes upon cos
tunes and vice versa, must be considered.
The. effect of color upon the emotions of an
audience enters into the science of scene
painting. For incidents of gayety light
colors are selected. 1t would be as incor-
rect TO present a scene of sorrow in a
brightly painted interior as to have the
weeping mother mourn her child in scar
let gown. The effect of light upon color is
always to be considered. If the stage in
structions call for lights down the hues
are varied accordingly.
The first thing done in the actual produc-
ton of a scene is the building of the model
This is constructed of cardboard and is q
miniature facsimile of the scene as ii will
appear. 1t is built on a scale of one-half
inch to the foot is colored and in every way
conforms TO the actual scene. Various i'm
provements are suggested after rehearsals
are begun and sometimes the action CT a
piece is so changed that an entirely new
model must be made. After the model is
finally approved the carpenter builds a
framework for the scenes. This averages
abou 30yAG feet. The canvas is stretched
upon it and the painting begins. While the
scenery is being painted the property man
is at work upon the various articles required
upon the stage in addition 10 the scenery.

CARE OF THE NAILS.
Hints That Help to Make Hands as
beautiful as Nature Intended.
Madame.

The care Of the nails is Indispensable If
YOU wish to have a well cared for looking
hand The whitest and smoothest hand IN
all the world will be unlovely and unat-
tractive If the nails are neglected and let
alone The undesirable looking nails that
we too frequently see on the hngers or a
eentleWoman are Il discredt to her, and
Show her to be of a careless. indifferent,
or unrefined mind. If the nails are daily
looked after they cannot get into such a
neglected state, and few minutes every
day are all that are needed to keep this
end in view.
After the hands have been properly
washed and dried, you must turn your at
tention to your nails. Gently press back
the flesh which is apt to grow up and cover
the half moons in your fingers with a
smooth piece of polished orange wood. TnlS
must be done while the flesh is still soft
and warm after having been washed. 1t
must be q very gentle and careful per-
formance and the flesh must only be gradu-
ally pressed back, so as to avoid breaking
the skin in any way. After all the fingers
have been well attended to In this respect,
the nails themselves must be most carefully
cleaned. with thin, blunt-pointed ivory or
orange wood cleaner. nail brush must,
of course, have been used in the 1rst II
stance, and the cleaner only used II there
is any dirt remaining behind. Great care
must be taken not to use anything steel
for this purpose. The sharp edge Will soon
scratch and cut the inside of the nail and
iniure the quick, and dirt will much sooner
lodge there in consequence.
The next thing to do is to cover the nail
Il
good powder can be made of six grains of
tragacanth. well mixed with four ounces of
putty powder, and one ounce Of violet pow
der You can make a paste of three grains
of tragacanth powder, two ounces of putty
powder glycerine, one drachm, and rose
water sufficient to make all into a stiff
paste. but the use of paste is not so nice
as powder The powder must then be well
rubbed off with a soft chamois leather COW
cred polisher. Very little powder must be
applied al a time and the polisher used till
none of 1t remains, and fine smooth polish
is the result.
A piece of soft chaTnois leather or silk
handkerchief must be used to free the nail
from any lingering remains of paste or pow
der This polishing should be done twice
every day. If the nails are rubbed with the
palm of the hand. they keep very smooth
and flexible. When the nails require cutting
they should be cut with a pair OF curved
scissors sold for the purpose. When pos

in factories here, and rapid progress by the
pupils is reported. The industry requires
delicate handling. Manufacturers are liable
to lose large sums of money through the
carelessness of operatives.
The pioneer American lace manufacturing
plant is located in Brooklyn, and the pro-
prietor has afnassed a fortune. Lace-mak-
ing machinery is imported principally from
Nottingham, and foreign help is required
to some extent, as some branches OF the
labor are so intricate that only work peo-
pie of skill and of years of experience can
prOfitaby attend to them
Laces are imported mainly from France,
Germany and England. European manu-
facturers believe that it is impossible prac-
tically for American producers to compete
with them, regardless of tariff protection.
They argue that with their advantage OF
low wages and superior technical education
of the help they have not much to fear.
But there are indications that they will be
disappointed. The poular lace of to-day is
machine-made goods, hand work of neces-
sity being luxuriously expensive, and. con-
sequently beyond the reach of the masses.
And it is toward this class of trading that
the domestic manufacturer is directing his
efforts.
