Impressions of the New Gar.

In the early spring of 1892 Twas in
the interior OF Russia and while there
received at intimation that upon NV re-
turn to the capital the Czarowitz would
DC pleased to sec me. Accordingly.
when l arrived Mt ST. Petersburg, / was
notiried ut what hour on the day follow
ing could present myself before his
Imperial Highness. At one O'Clock I
reached the palace, and entering its
gates, was admitted and shown upstairs
into q sitting-room, where / had to wait
some moments.
In a few moments there came through
the opposite door Il trinity built young
gentleman, whose bpyish appearance
made him seem even younger than he
was, and not to exceed say one-and,
twenty. Hc was clad in q simple gray
uniform, entirely barren of ornament.
He advanced and shook hands, with a
frank and pleasant welcome that im-
mediatcly put me at my ease.
II was the year of the %falnine, and
he'd been in Russia attending to the dis
,ribution of the Hour which the Ameri.
can niillers had sent over to the peas
ants. On this subject his Highncss adj
dressed me. in the excellent English of
which the Russian gentleman is usually
master. He desired, he said, through
me. 10 thank those who had contributed
to the relief Of the unfortunate, and
spoke with deep feeling OF what the
peasants had suffered during that dread
full year. He showed genuine concern
for the condition of the people: but,
turning from this, the Czarowitz said
that he was filled with wonder ut the
sympathy shown by the Americans,
and while he appreciated the value OF
their aid, he marvellel that IA nation so
far removed from Russia should have
been SO prompt aud generous in its
gifts.
Tho Czarowitz impressed me as a
~kind-hcarted, amiable, wholesome young
man, we'll endowed both mentally and
physically to cope with the arduous
duties of his great position, and as ono
who would conscientious!y cndeavor to
do his duty under all circumstances.
His eyes were straightforward, steady.
and strong, his forehead Of good proper
tons. and his head well shaped. His
figure was If medium height, but we'll
knit and sprightly.. He appeared to
be in excellent health, aud was clear
cut, straightforward. and graceful-al-
together an exceedingly attractive and
pleasant gentleman, nor quito m1atured,
but without tho slightest trace in his
face or figure Of either weakness or iii
health. Ha,pcf's Heeilv.

Oracle OF the Goosc's Bone.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: A Penn
sylvania goose bone prophet says this
will be Il mild winter. When he runs
his eye along his bone he finds but
n blue spot. That is a cold snap.
1t is a deep blue spot this time. That
means a severe snap.
This prophetic bone was taken from
a last springs goose, previously dead.
That's all we know about the bone.
But the bone oracle himself has been
on deck reading goose bones for many
years. He knows more about bones
than a rampcred dog. And when he
says it's going to be a nice, mild, wide
open winter. with lots of white sun
shine. the coal dealers around in his
neighborhood go N in their deserted
yards and kick themselves. The sneak
thieves quit stealing overcoats and the
old maids stop going to bed with hot
bottles at their poor shivering feet.
Business kind O stands still around
there until the old sharp reads his
goose bone, and the buyess know
what to expect.
OF ours it must be understood
that the goose bone prophecy holds
good for all our nor-eastern section
of the nation. just remember this
and keep a sharp eye for the deep
blue spot.

Mrs. Maxine Elliott Goodwin pre-
serves IN an expensive frame. under
glass cover, a telegram from Mr..
soodwin which cost the actor many
thousands of dollars, and incidentally
cd to his marriage and his subse-
luent settling down, runs a story in
he Saturday Evening Post. 1t was
sent just before Mr.. Goodwin's latest
rip to Australia, on which trin he be-
anne engaged, matrimonially, to his
wife. George b. Mcclellan wns Mr..
ioodwin's manager atJthat time, and
,e needed a leading woman to accom-
oany the actor to the antipodes. He
consulted with Frederick Edward Nc
Kay, OF the Dramatic News, who was
conducting a theatrical intelligence
Office, and Mr.. Mckay suggested Miss
elliott, who had Just left Daly's stock
company.
Together they went to Miss Elliott's
aotcl and prevailed upon her to accept
The vacant place. The decision was
..elegraphed at once to Goodwin, who
answered with this query:
al right; but isn't She too tall?"
When Miss Elliott saw this reply
She declined the offer with equal
promptness. and Immediately left for
San Francisco to take the leading
place in a stock company. But Mr..
Goodwin, with the proverbinl change
1bility of genius, regretted his query
almost as soon as he had made it, and
nc followed Miss Elliott to San Fran
cisco the next week. There he saw
her play, and with impetuous elo-
luence he persuaded her I o go with
his company. But it cost him $ $500
to the San Francisco manager, the
privilege OF producing Mr.. Goodwin's
plays on the coast at II reduced roy
atty, double the salary lie had first
promised Miss Elliott and n place in
his company for Miss Elliott's sister.
