Alexander III. and NichoIa. II.

From Review OF Reviews.
The first and most conspicuous charac-
t~eristic of Alexander Ill. was the solidity
1T would be wrong to call it the stolidity
of his mental temperament. He was by
no means dull. But he was slow. He put
his foot down like an elephant, and when
he put II down he was not quick to take
it up again. The characteristic of his son
and successor is quite different. The note
of his intellectual temperament is that
of extreme alertness. AS he IS also ex-
tremeIy sympathetic. this makes him one
of the most charming persons to talk to
/ have ever met. The TWO qualities were
also united in General Gordon. whose MINI
bleness of mind was SO excessive that it
was somewhat difficult to keep up with
him. II in talking to the late car you
were at a loss for a word or an illustration.
he patiently waited until you found it. His
son. on the other hand. would divine your
meaning and help you out. He is as quick
as a needle and quite as bright. Speaking
of one of her majesty's ambassadors the
other day. ! tried to explain his excessive
slowness in the up-take by saying that the
only way to get an idea into his head was
to take a hammer and drive it in like a
tenpenny nail. This is the very antithesis
of Nicholas ii. I nave seldom met any one
so quick to seize a point. Whatever he may
fail in. it will not be in lack of capacity
to see and understand

IS HUNTING TROUBLE.
General SanguiIly Refuses to Obey
General LudlOw's Order to Stay
Out of

HAVANA, Jan. 9.-Major General Lud-
low. military governor of the department
of Havana. recently requested the Cuban
general, Julio Sanguilly, to stay outside
the city, or, in the event of his entering
1t, not to wear his uniform in public.
Sanguilly was informed in writing that
he would be severely dealt with in the
event of his provoking any more trouble
such as occurred at the Albisu theater a
few nights ago, when. with a party of
friends, he almost provoked a physical
conflict with two members of the munich
pal police who had not saluted him. Gen.
eral Ludlow sent a copy of the letter to
General Mayia Rodriguez, Sanguilly's SUI
perior, and it is understood that Cen
eral Rodriguez also cautioned him.
But to-day he has been seen around the
city conspicuous in a white duck suit and
white-brimmed Panama hat. wearing the
three gold stars of a major general. At
tended by eight or ten friends. curling his
long gray mustaches and twisting his i'm
perial, he has been ostentatiously posing
in the cafes. utterly without regard to Gen.
eral Ludlow's directions. Sanguilly seems
to be looking for trouble. Though unpop-
ular with the Cuban chiefs. he has a large
following among the lower classes. The
attention of General Rodriguez will be
called to this obstreperous behavior. and
1t is considered better to let his W people

TO RETAIN HER YOUTH.
A Woman Must Keep Her Joints Linz
Der by Exercise II She Would
Remain Young.

FROM the Philadelphia Times.
To remain young a woman must keen
her joints TIMBER. remarked a fine looking
specimen of womanhood in the car this
morning. l heard no more because the
seat l sought was at the far end of the
car. ! pondered the subject all the way to
the Office. and decided to give some simple
exercises to keep women young. A Western
newspaper woman whom 1 met this winter
said that the morning bath kept a woman
young, and surely the two combined ought
TO furnish the secret of perpetual youth.
These exercises are but four in number
and need not occupy more than ten min
utes. I have said that the morning bath
need not occupy even that amount OF time,
so 1t Is really a very little which you give
for the blessed privilege of staying off the
outstretched ON a level with the shoulders
and slowly raise yourself on your toes as
far as possible. Keep this position for a
moment only and then slowly sink back
upon the entire foot. Repeat this exercise
for twenty times or more, and then change
to the second exercise, which is for the
benefit of the knee joints.
Place the hands on the hips, rest the
| weight of the body on the right foot. slow
ly raise the left leg and extend it in front
Of the body. Then bend the knee again
en- as before. Repeat this exercise twenty
| times and change to the left foot, so that
number three, which enables you to keen
your waist line. strengthen your back and
keep your shape generally. Stand erect
! and lean over at the hips without bending
the knees. and try to touch the floor with
your fingers. You won't be able to do 1t
at first. try as hard as you will. but each
| day will bring you nearer to 1t. Repeat
| this exercise like the others.
Place the left hand on the hip and ex-
| tend the right arm. Bend as far as pos
/ sible to the left side. repeat and change to
the right side. and you will find your daily
ten minutes the best investment you ever
made. There are other exercises for the
development of other muscles. and If you
really become addicted to the exercise habit
| / will tell YOU of them.

EXPLANATION OF "sIRDAR."
Items of Intere"tSEeacerninE the
Egyptian Title Borne sby Sir
Herbert Kitchener.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
In the flood of news which came in daily
over the wires recently about Fashoda
there was a constant reference, an itera-
ton and reiteration of one word which,
while persons Who read might surmise it
referred pobabiy to a title. yet had no
positive proof of exactly what it meant.
That one word was Invariably prefixed
to Sir Herbert Kitchener's name-the sir
dar. Now. what meant this word sirdar?
A quarter CT a century ago or there
abouts. at the time when Great Britain.
by right of might and not. for any other
tan's khedive under its tutelage. one Of
its first acts was to recognize the Egyptian
army. British officers were sent to Egypt
and placed at the head of the native
troops. These officers drilled the troops,
taught them the manual of arms and grad
ually instilled IN them that same esprit de
corps and enthusiasm which makes the
British army itself such a compact and
formidable body. The native troops were
allowed to retain their colors. their flags
and insignia and all the paraphernalia Of
quered people. British statesmen went
further. They even allowed the same mill
tary titles to remain. 1t was a tactful
thing to do. British lost nothing thereby,
was sentimentally sacred to them.
Thus, therefore, the very ancient words
sirdar. bimbashi, jougoul, etc. remained
army is the general-in-chief. The bim-
bashi is a major: the jougoul a captain.
Sirdar. literally it means officer. is as old
an expression almost as the country Of
the Pharaohs itself. In Arabic the word
means head man." There needs be little
stretch of the imagination to see how the
term came to be given to the commandment
of the Egyptian forces.
Sir Herbert Kitchener is the second sir
dar Of Egypt. the first to bear that name
being Major General Sir Francis Wallace
Grenfell. Sir Herbert Kitchener became
sirdar in 1897. 1t is not a generally known
fact that he was a fellow student of the
late prince imperial at Woolwich Military
academy. Born in 1880. he was. SO to say,
brought up in a barracks. His father.
Colonel Horatio Kitchener. was a soldier.
and the future hero OF Omdurman dreamed
of soldering in earliest boyhood. County
| Kerry, Ireland. was his birthplace. and on
| the downs near Crotta house. his home
| when a lad, a fine old mansion on the road
to Tralee. the battle of Omdurman was
really fought.
He thus possesses British tenacity and
Irish pusnacity. And only 4S. What great
eminence may he not then reach?
