A Court Trial That Disclosed Queer
:.5lss. Phase of Russian Society.
Even in Russia, it seems, despotism
does not go the length Of forcing al
woman to tell her age or Of Furnishing
her for stating it inaccurately. A GER
tain Princess Eugaly tchef was recently
tried at Moscow and sentenced to life
long internment in the province Of Olo-
metz for embezzling 100000 rubles.
After the proceeding in court had come
to an end and after the noble lady had
retired to the country for her somewhat
prolonged rest from urban gayeties and
temptations a too careful official discov
cred that among the papers in the case
was the princess certificate of baptism,
and that she had changed the date Of it
from 1847 to 1857. Instantly this grave
crime was brought to the notice of the
authorities, and the convicted embezzler
was summoned to meet the charge OF
/. classifying an official document. Then a
curious fact was disclosed, and sur
prising amount Of light was thrown on
Russian society. vii"
The Prince Eugalytcheff, who was
cited as a 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 5000 rubles for Civ
ing the lady his name that Immediate
~ 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 gallantly declined to convict
the accused princess on the "trivial
charge about woman 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.

One day Boston party, on 8 fishing
tip to Moosehead, came across one of
the old school fishermen. He was up of
the mouth Of Tomhegan stream and
was fishing out Of a lumberman's bat
teau. It developed later that he was the
cook for q crew Of river drivers On the
bank near at hand stood the cookee, or
his helper. The cook had thrown about
a peck of table refuse into the lake in
order to tttole" the fish, and over that
lure he was having great luck: His pole
was Of the jib boom variety, and when
a fish bit he would derrick it over his
head into the bushes where the cookee
was stationed.
3 The Boston men from their canoes
watched operations with all the disgust
of the true sportsmen.
"Got enough for supper yet?'' shout
ed the fisherman over his shoulder as
he set another great trout aamping into
the bushes.
''No; better catch six or eight more, .

How They We're Won With = Pocket
Handkerchief PROMISE
In 1868, when the revolution of ten
years in Cuba began, no volunteers ex-
listed in Havana worthy Of being called
such. There was only one old regiment,
and when Governor General Lersundi,
then Of the island; tried to complete
this regiment he found the task diff
cult of accomplishment on account of
the prevailing unwillingness to enlist.
But just at this time, most providential-
ly for the relief of the dilemma, some
unknown hand covered the walls of
Matanzas, near Havana, with huge
posters promising each Spaniard his
passage home and the privilege Of car
rying away with him whatever his
pocket handkerchief could contain in
the event of his enlistment.
The effect Of this stimulus to the flag
ging pulse of the public was electrical,
and the enrolment of $4,000 men fol-
lowed within 48 hours. The volunteers
thus came into existence with their
chiefs in the majority. But the ruined
merchants of the city Of Havana soon
found out and objected to the newly
risen power. This opposition increased
upon the arrival in Cuba of the new
governor general, Duice, who came in
1869 as representative Of the revolution.

man Of good faith, empowered by the
government to grant Cuba all the re
form she coveted and that had lately
been offered. He would undoubtedly
have put a term to the revolution, avert

followed. But such an easy and mag
unanimous course did not suit that class
which faced inevitable financial ruin a
