Russia in a Nutshell.

In a sentence, Russia is a huge farm,
comprising a seventh of the land sur
face of the globe, and a twenty-sixth OF
its total area. 1t has half a dozen men
to manage it-according to the policy
of one of the six-and the people are di-
vided into ten millions Of men and
women Of the more or less comfortable
more or less educated class, and 49,
OOO, 900 of citizens the mass of whom
form the dullest, rudest, least ambi-
tious ~peasantry in Europe. If one trav-
els over Russia to spy out the land, he
may go for days across 1t from west
to east without breaking the continu-
BUS view of a fat disk, whose only va
riety lies between ats farmed fatness
and its waste fairness. its squat,
Shrinking, unkempt villages and Its
sandy districts wooded with thin birch
or evergreens. Everywhere 1T is new,
rude and untidy.-Harper's Magazine.

Gently been appointed commissioner
FOR that State to the Paris Exposition,
and 1t is one of the most popular NOM

is sought on all important State ques-
tons. 1t was she who drafted the
Nicaragua canal bill that came up be-
fore the last session of the Alabama
legislature, and Senator S. p. Rather,
who is one of the leading lawyers of
the south, says of her: "If Mrs. VIII

have been a part of history"
Mrs. Wilder has achieved her distinc-

Taiisman of the HohenzoIlerns.

On his birthday and all great occa
siOns the German Emperor wears a
ring set with a small black stone which
does not belong among precious stonss,
yet it is a jewel of great value, for it Is
considered the talisman of the Hohen.
zolIern family. Tradition has it thai
this stone was placed on the bed of the
wife of the great e~lector, John Cicero,
by a frog. 1t is certain hat this stone
set In the ring was given to Frederick
the Great by his father, Frederic l.,
who believed in the legend, according
to certain documents in the royal ar
chives at Berlin. Old Emperor Willia.n
1. also believed in this talisman, and 1t
Is not surprising that William H., who
respects the past and its traditions So
deeply, should also treasure this stone
as a sacred talisman, although its pre-.
else significance is nc longer known. AL
that is remembered is that in some way
it is the chief talisman of the Hohen.

he Population of the world.

'.TN population of the earth is about
1,5O0, 900, 900, it being estimated in 1898
at 1,45s, 100000. The Statesman's Year
Book "a British publication for 1897
estimated that four-fifths of the worlds
population, or. 1,273, 2s4,463 human be-
ings, were under the sway of ten pow
ers, as follows: China, 402, $50, 900;
British Empire, 3S3, 4Ss, 400; Russian
Empire, 129, 545, 900; France, 7~O,467,775;
United States, 62,92o, 796; German EN-
pire, 62,S79, 901; Austria hungary, A.
1856, 1856; Japan, Al, 81S,215 Netherlands,
3S,S52,4 51; and the Ottoman Empire,
1929, 600. The estimate of the popu-
lation of China is really guess work,
nothing more. 1t may exceed the fig
ures given, or 1t may fall vastly below
them. In fact, some authorities put
China's population as low as 225,OOo,-
900. The population accorded Great
Britain, France and Germany, 10 large
ly composed of Asiaties and Africans.
This is especially the case with Great
Britain, about 275, 900. 600 of the people
under her sway being inhabitants of
India.

writer. He wrote day or night, when
ever the fancy took him, and he had a
habit of jotting down musical thoughts
OF his cuffs and collars. Some of the
most popular dance music ever com-
posed was thus far recorded. The
Strauss dances number nearly 500,
and many of them are familiar the
world over. In 1872 the waltz king
made his first visit to America. In
that year he accepted the invitation of
Patrick Gilmore to conduct the Boston
peace jubilee. During his presence he
conducted an orchestra of a thousand
musicians. His audiences seemed new
er to tire of his music, while the mag
netism Of the man with both audience
and orchestra was simply astounding.

The Right Kind OF Gloves.

A good story comes from an up
country mission STATEN ut the Cape.
The occasion was a native wedding,
and, as usual, the bride was attired in
white hat, white dress and white
shoes, but great surprise was occasion.
ed by the fact that she wore black
gloves. The native ONE on such
occasions try to be quite a la mode,
and there was a good deal of inquiry
about the girls departure from the
usual custom of dressing entirely In
white. The mystery was explained
when she told the clergyman's wife
that she had studied an English fash
lon paper, and had there read that the
custom now was to wear hesh-colored
gloves.-London Tit-Bits.
