rh,s Young Man of 20 Would Become
Ru'er of Russia.
In Russia, according to custom, sue.
ooocion to the throne is along the male
lima only. If the reigning Czar dies
,ritbout son, the crown goes to his
novt of kin-the elder brother first,
then his male descendants, and next in
order the other brothers and their sons.
II is well known Czar Nicholas has
three children, but not one of them
could claim the throne in the event Of
his death, all three being girls. This

mike George stood next in line of sue

George had no children. Michael is
popular young man, of good habits
and disposition. He is not yet 21, hav-
ing been born Dec. 4, 1873.
II should be understood, however,
that while Car Nicholas has proclaim

BANDS AND "REMINISCENCES
Riley and the Band. How They Got a Band in Doug
 las Last Fourth.
ANOTHER 4TH COMING

The following story from the Atlanta Constitution illustrates the wonderful effectiveness of some village bands:
 RILEY RILES THE BAND.-This story of the poet, Riley, now published fer the first time, originated in a little town where the poet was stopping over night.
 The leader of the village band, know ing that Riley had written a poem iu which he expressed a preference for hearing 'the old band play" thought it would be a good idea to serenade him with "such tunes as 'Swanny River and John Anderson, My Jo,'" and ac- cordingly the band surrounded his house in full force.
 The poet was tired and had been sleep ing soundly for some time; but, being awakened by the jarring discords with out, took in the situation, thanked them in a neat speech for the midnight com phment. retired and addressed himself to sleep again. But it was no use. The band kept on playing. Finally there was a luII in the music and the poet con- graduated himself that the worst was over In this he was mistaken. The band had only stopped for a breathing spell and a chew of tobacco. In few minutes it was making night hideOus" again.
 Riley stood it for two mortal hours. Then rendered desperate he raised the window sash and shouted:
 ''Boys, like to hear the old band play; but, God bless you! l don't want to hear it play all night long"
 "Less go, boys," said the indignant leader. "That feller don't appreciate musicm
 Speaking of bands reminds us of the way band was created for the Fourth of July celebration on Douglas Island last year, as told us by one of the prin- cipal actors in the comedy, which came near being a farce, or perhaps a trage- dy.
 Douglas Island always celebrates the Fourth with much vigor. The great Treadwel mines are closed down on that day-the only holiday in the year, except Christmas-and the men who have not had a holiday for six months or more celebrate from early morning till late at night.
 Last Fourth was no exception, and weeks before preparations and arrange ments were begun and committees ap- pointed. Now, the committee on mu- sic decided that, in order to make the celebration success, brass band was needed. There was set of instruments in Juneau, and a strong effort was made to secure them, but as that would have left Juneau entirely without music, it was failure and the energetic com mitteeman was only laughed at for his pains.
 In the agony of despair, MT. R. D. Taylor (now postmaster, member of the music committee, said that if he

intellectual discussions. If it was the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy she was familiar with it; if it was Darwin ism she could discuss evolution from both the scientific and theOlogic- al standpoint; if the un-Americanism of Lowell's criticisms, she had definite ideas; she could not measure the dis tanceS or weigh the stars, but she could point out the cancellations and tell many interesting stories of the heavens. She had the true idea of a practical, general education which is very clearly stated in the following words from the current number of Self Culture:
 "The idea that education is a thing to be concluded definitely within few of the earlier years of life, then to be regarded as forever over and done, and that it consists of some disagreeablo preliminaries of syntaX, Latin gram mar. and rhetoric, to be gotten out of the way as speedily as possible, this idea of education we understand to be thoroughly obsolete. Rather do we understand that education, if it means anything, means the continual enrich ment of the resources of the individual; that, as such, it is by no means con- fined to those who are found within the schools, nor to youth, but that it is just as much for the adult as for the young; that ill fact, just so long as we have our faculties and the world is about us, we are to add to our re- sources and to strengthen our facul- ties for the enrichment of life and the improvement of citizenship. Educa- tion, therefore, for the individual, is never finished. It is one of the great abiding, permanent interests of life, along with politics and religion"
 My third and last text is little sto- ry which we will entitle "Where Do You Live?" A young man expressed his surprise that the great MT. Blank should live in so poor a house amid such mean surroundings, down in valley where he could see so little of the world he so we'll understood and had so graphicly pictured with his pen. The young mans companion was something of philosopher, and he re- piled with a little laugh: "Oh, MT. Blank don't live there; financial condi- tions may render it necessary for him to eat and sleep there, but he lives with the master minds of the world. He sits down with the artist and the poet; he walks the streets of Paris and ancient Athens, sings with Sappho, talks with Plato, laughs with Aristoph- anes. He lives over again his rambles through the old cathedrals and picture galleries; he communes with Shake speare, Milton, Dickens, and the great and good of every age. It matters little where such a man eats and sleeps. Live there! No, he don't live there."
 My friends, where do you expect to live in old age?

A Lay Sermon.

As the sermon will be short we VIII take three texts. The first is from Josh Billings: "If you would have your children go in the road which they should travel you should walk in it a few times yourself"
 These words contain a great truth: -"Example is better than precept." "Do as tell you, not as 1 dO," is very poor instruction, the lowest specimens of fallen manhood and womanhood can and do tell us that. An army will fol low a single brave leader, and children are not supposed to be wiser then men.
 My second text is from this months Cosmopolitan, and while applicable to both parents is especially addressed to the mothers:
 Ut is a great pity for her (the moth er) to become so much absorbed in the practical details of the household that she has no time for reading, thinking and mental development. It is a seri- ous mistake to allow herself to grow rusty in the things she used to know, which her children are now studying. No woman can afford to lose prestige in the eyes of her children. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the fact that it is far more important for woman to be the alert and congenial intellectual companion of her husband and children than for the stockings to be mended always by Saturday night"
 These words, when you think of them seriously, express one of the saddest conditions in human experience. When a child discovers that the mother is ignorant, no matter how strong the love and attachment may be the moth CT has lost a certain prestige. The woman who has had the advantage of a college education should never stop in her pursuit of knowledge or suffer her self to grow rusty in her school studies if she has children to rear. She should be intellectually superior to her son and daughter when they return as college graduates, and if she is, her superior advantages of age and experience will enable her to wield an influence which no uneducated woman possesses, other things being equal,
 Bishop Vincent tells little story of mother who studied her children's school books so as to be able to help them, and how they looked up to her with a certain admiration as the source of superior wisdom, but the time came when her two sons went away to col lege She had never taken a college course and when they would come back in four years they would be so far ahead and see how ignorant she was, and she sat down and cried. No, it must not be, she couldn't bear it, they should never be ashamed of her on that score, and she commenced read ing-not the dry text books of the col Iege, bQt history, the poets, biography, the great novels, criticisms on art and literature, and kept herself posted on the new discoveries in science and the progress of the busy world. She read along the lines the world was discuss ing and as her sons returned during their school vacations they still found her better posted in general informa- ton and history than they were and often able to help them. When they graduated and the mother expressed her pleasure through tears of joy they still found her a critical companion, and sometimes more than an equal in
