but it is crowded all the time with incom-

and the war department welcomes the
prospect that within a few days the con-
troVersy regarding the sanitary condition
OF Camp Wil1off will have been disposed
of in the most effective way The depart

ment of the camp at Montauk Point IS not
to be made on account of amy opinion that
tho place is unsanitary, for all OF the of-
Gals. from the secretary down, insist that
the camp is healthfI:l and that the severe
criticisms Of the administration for all
acknowledgements of the camp are utterly
unfounded. But as to this much more has
yet to be said.
The parting of the troops. officers and
men alike, has been pathetic. With the
ordering out of one regiment would come
q swarm to say Goodby-a man who had
borrowed another'S canteen and wanted to
thank him for it; a man who had been ear
rled wounded down San Juan hill and
wanted to find the carrier; Il man who mad
borrowed Il cartridge belt from Il fellow
soldier unable to carry ii longer and who
wanted to return it-al these men and
many more banked about the depot when
a command was to depart and reached out
their hands for farewell grasp. They
Rugged each other and they threw bottles
of beer at each other They snapped lies
and guns. If they ever meet III thIs world

FALSlFIED HER AGE.
A Court Trial That Disclosed = Cucc
Phase of Russian Society.

Even i'll Russia, 1t seems, dcSpotisu

tain Princess Eugalytchcff was recently
tried at Moscow and sentenced TO life

metz for embezzlirg no, 600 rubles.
After the proceeding i'll court had come
to an end ard after the noble lady had
retired to the country for her somewhat
prolonged rest from urban gayetics and
temptations u too careful official liscov-
cred that among the papers IL the case
was the princess certificate of baptism,
and that she had changed the date of il
from 1877 TO 1867. Instantly this grave
crime was brought TO the notice Of the
authorities. and the convicted eInbcz2ler
was summoned to meet the charge OF
classifying an official document Then a
curious fact was disclosed, and sur
prisins amount of light was thrown on
Russian society.
The Prince Eugalytcheff, who was
cited as witness by the prosecutor,
said that whether his bride was 20 years
older or younger than her certified age
was matter OF absolute indifference to
him. All he could say was that he re-
ceived the sum of 3, 600 rubles for Civ
ing the lady his name, that Immediate
ly after the marriage ceremony he pro-
cured for her separate passport, and
that since then he has known nothing
more of his wife or her private affairs.
The jury CALAMITY declined to convict
the accused princess ON the trivial
charge about a wonan's age" and she
was sent back to her provincial exile.
Princes evidently come cheap in
Russia, and this is perhaps the most in
teresting bit of news in the whole story.

ROSARY BEADS.
1sssy Were IL Use Among the Hindoos
Before the Era of Buddha-

Tho prevailing idea in regard to q
rosary is that it belongs solely to follow
ers of the Catholic religion. But take
away the cross that is hanging TO the
beads and we find that one must turn to
the dim, mysterious east fer the origin
of the roszny, for it is among the tenn
plies of India, China and Japan that the
first sign of the practice is to be found
Ancient pictures of the Hindoo gods de-
pict them with chaplets of beads III
their hands. and it is believed that this
method Of keeping count Of their many
prayers was in use among the Hindoos
before the era of Buddha, or at least B.
G. 500.
The Use of the rosary seems especial
" suited to an eastern cline and TO the
repose OF an oriental mind. The Bud
dhists are fond of using very smooth
beads of glass, polished jade or coral,
and it has been thought that the smooth,
cool beads gliding through their fingers
as they murmur the holy name for thou
sands of times help them to arrive at
that state of holy abstraction from
earthly things which is so much priced
among the followers Of Buddha.
The favorite japanese rosaries are
made of polished wood, crystal, onyx
and chased silver, and the Japanese
Buddhists repeat in endless devotion
Manu- Amida Butzu" C''Save Us,
Buddha"l while their Chinese brothers
have the blessed name 80 Mitofu'
forever on their lips. y rosary of very
great size was recently brought from a
temple i'll Kioto, Japan. The largest
bead Is about six inches i'll diameter, and
the rosary entire IS about "a feet long.
The huge beads are of dark brown pol
ished wood. They are hollow and have
each figure of 4 god inside the little
shrine, which can be seen through a
lattice Of brass work. En-
