Napoleon In Peters Bed.

Peter the Great hated Moscow, and.
above all, that stronghold of oriental
intrigue and moral darkness, the Krem-
lin. If remember right, he never in
habited the palace within it's walls after
he was a child. The old palace is q net
work of incredibly small, low, III ven
tilated rooms, some little bigger than
closets, painted in greens, blues and
reds after the Swedish fashion; rooms
which seem, even today, to reek OF
plots, intrigue and murder. Napoleon,
always q trihe theatrical, insisted on
sleeping in the bed of Peter the Great
when he occupied the Kremlin in 1919.
The bed of the boy Peter fitted the hero
Of Austerlitz to nicely. 1t is very
abbreviated couch.
In the very heart of this oriental pal
ace, with no window which gives on
the outer day and the open air, is the
terem, or women's quarters. The terem
was, to all intents and purposes, har.
en-. The ladies, even the czarina and
the sisters of the car, were only per-
mitted to look down into the hall Of
coronation through carved wooden
lattice, just as ladies do in every harem
in the east They received no men ex-
cept their husbands and brothers, and
when they went out it was in a curtain
ed litter. When Peter mounted the
throne of the czars, the women OF Rus
STA were orientals imprisoned far moro
vigorously than the ladies of Constanti-
nople today.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

A friend whom we met the other day
had such springing step and so happy
q countenance that we almost involun-
tarily asked him:
"Boy or girli''
Chow did you know" said he as he
shook our hands vigorously by way Of
congratulating himself.
"Guessed ii, we replied.
"Well, you are good at guessing. It's
a little girl" and he pranced proudly
on his way. 1t occurred to us then, and
reflection corroborates it, that when it's
q girl it's always little-never large,
never even medium sized, but always
little. Your informant seems always to
fear that you may have an exaggerated
idea and may picture some tremendous
arrangement like unto locomotive or
a tobacco factory; hence the invariablo

On the contrary, the boys are always
bouncers, and yet there seems to be lit

How to Address Bishop or an Angel.

How to Address Bishop or an Angel.
1t is fallacy to suppose that the
title "lord," applied to a bishop, be,
longs to- him only as member of the
house of lords. There is q spiritual
hierarchy as we'll as temporal peerage,
and the one has as much right to title
as the other. Just as a priest was styled
"sir, u SO a bishop is "lord, and
graduates nre still called "domini' al
the universities. In Elizabeth time
the suffragan bishop Of Dover was styled
"My lord of Dover. The following
extract from a letter written by the
Right Hon. R. ~ Cross, secretary Of
state (now Niscount Cross, to the arch
bishop of Canterbury, May %, 1874,
reads:
"There is ample documentary evi
lence that the predecessors of the pres
ent bishops sutfragan were, up to the
disuse of their office in the reign Of
James l, every whit, whether by right
or courtesy, as much lord bishops as
the diocesans peers of parliament. "
See more in Crockford' IS Clerical Die
tionary, 1896. page rs.
Moreover, the angels of the seven
churches in Revelation ii and Iii are
commonly understood to be bishops, and,
according TO our English Bible, the
proper way to address an angel is My
lord" See Genesis xix, 49, Judges Vi,

Tho E,enba,t ne he Really Is.

Few more impressive condolences can
be impaired than one in which Hin.
doc describes how he knows his elephant
intends to destroy him. 1t is all so
seemingly trivial and yet in reality of
such deadly significance. His story is
so full Of details that prove the mans
profound understanding of what he is
talking about that one remains equally
amazed at the brute's power to dissimu-
late and its intended victims insight
into this would be murderer's character.
And yet, from the psychological stand
point, an elephant never gives any other
such Indication of mental power as is
exhibited in its revenge. That patient,
watchful, implacable hatred often pro-
voked simply because a man is IN OF
tendance upon another animal (for 1t is
the rule with tuskers to detest their
next neighbors) speaks more conclusive,
ly of high intellectual grade than all
the stories, true or false, that have been
told of their ability. Such concentration
and fxedness of purpose, such careful,
unrelaxed vigilance, such perfect and
consistent pretense, and. when the time
comes, such desperate unhesitating en-
ergy as homicidal animals exhibit are
impossible without very considerable,
although in this instance very irregu-
lar, development.
No one can deny that if this creature
is great at all its greatness shows itself
in its crimes. These have caused it to
be worshiped in the east, where men
veneratu nothing but merciless, ire
spcn.ible force and where an exhibit
ton of those qualities and traits de-
scribed fully accounts for the formula,

Most Of the ships soon went down un-

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women r SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, C~entralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with ir~regularity of menses 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
nv friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might beneitm me, and wrote
vo1, for advice I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as l
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured OF
irregularity."

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Secretary of
the Navy Long was at the White House
twice during the morning to see the
president, spending only 4 few minutes
each time. On leaving the second time
he made the important announcement
of the safe arrival of the battleship
Oregon at Jupiter inlet. Fla, Tuesday
night. At the same time Secretary
Long, while expressly stating that nc
official advices had been received of the
bottIing up of the Spanish fleet in the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba by Com
modore Schley's squadron, announced
that there was every reason to believe
that was the case. There is so little
room for doubling the report that Adj

penned in the harbor by Commodore
Schleys squadron, that Secretary
Longs statement that there was

was supplemented by the president.
who, in reply to inquiries from con-
gressional callers said that it was I'M
doubtedly true. Secretary Long had
only a brief talk with the president
Owe the situation. The safe arrival OF
the Oregon at Jupiter had been dis,
counted to some extent by previous an
n~ouncements of its safety. Commo.
dore Schley's catching up with the
Cervera's fleet was a source OF
much congratulation, for in
the conferences that took place
in the White House there was a feeling
that it brought the end of the wal
much nearer Asked as to the posi-
bility Of a ruse of some sort arising
from Admiral Cervera deliberately
entering the harbor under the
circumstances, Secretary Long said
the purposes of the Spanish could
be only conjectured, but that it
might be they went into Santiago for
coaling. While re%fraining from dis
c~ussing specifically the matter of rein
~forcements and the dispatch of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet, now asserted to
be in the neighborhood of Havana, to
Santiago, Secretary Long had no hest
tation in saying Commodore Schley
could have whatever aid he wanted.

AS VIEWED AT KEY WEST.
While Nothing is Definitely Known, 1t Is
Believed the Spanish Fleet Has
Suicide.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 26.-There is
nothing definitely known here about
the possible operations in eastern Gu
ba. but the view is expressed at this
place that the Spanish fleet is blocked
in Santiago harbor, in which event the
naval opinion here is that the Spanish
fleet has committed suicide"
1t is now no breach of confidence to
say that Commodore Schley and Rear
Admiral Sampson are believed to have
Admiral Cervera within their reach,
and if the Spaniards are in Santiago
harbor, they ear be blockaded and
starved out. A singel heavy American
vessel can hold the harbor's narrow
exit, through which the Spaniards
could emerge only singly. The Span.
ish fleet is very fast, but it is not COM
posed of heavily armored vessels. In.
deed, anyof Admiral SIMPSONS battle.
ships could, in the opinion of naval
experts, engage the entire Spanish
fleet with a fair chance of coming OIL
victorious. The American commander
has not only ships for battle, but for
the chase as we'll. This is the view
here where the movements of the Amer.
lean fleet are approximately well
known.
