.ner. There is probably no society in European capital so intelligent and highly intellectual as that there, and certainly none where woman plays such leading part and where she is at the same time so thoroughly amiable, gra- cious, 'spirituelle," well educated and in touch with the literary and political questions of the day.
 The Russian woman is charmer, as is well known: but what is less well known is that her charm consists more in her intellectual powers than in her physical qualities.
 What strikes the foreigner in St. Pe- tersburg after the good-nature, intelli- gence and elegance of the women and the luxury of the social entertainments is the charm of the intimate gatherings of the drawing-room, gatherings at which politics and the questions of the day are discussed. There exists a lib- erty of speech in St. Petersburg un- known in Berlin and Vienna. Men, wo- men and even young boys of twenty take the greatest interest in public affairs, and closely follow the governments pol icy. Russians are not suspicious of be- ing surrounded by spies, as Is the case in Berlin and Vienna. However, most of kind are discussed do not open their doors to foreigners s.-Correspondence of the Providence Journal

as "Foggy Bottom men could be seen going about any fair Sunday with kegs Of beer on their shoulders, while others would have parts of kegs under their belts. The District commissioners ask ed that law that would make the practice of selling beer by the keg Sun days unlawful. A bill prepared by them to accomplish this was reported to the house by MT, Babcock of Wis consin, chairman of the District com mittee. It was about to pass when General Grosvenor proposed a sweeping amendment, which was adopted, and in this shape the bill became law It was discovered after it had become law that it not only breaks up the practice the commissioners complained of, but will, if enforced, prevent the sale of liouors of any kind by the hotels and even by clubs, such as the Metropolitan and the Army and Navy.

The New Jersey trust formed for the collection of money from trusts has worked so well that some competition
 is probable hereafter Delaware has made new corporation law which is meant to be attractive to trusts, and there is talk in some other States of laws that will bring money into the State from trusts. But New Jersey has a good lead, and will probably be able ness. New Jerseys income from this source, says one who knows, Twill prob ably reach $4,OoO,OOO this year. Busi- ness men everywhere are aware of her favorable laws, and do not believe that any other State will soon take this class of business away from her. The fact that her laws on this subject have not been changed in almost thirty years has great deal of influence. No organiza- tion wants to put it's business in the hands of a. State which is likely to legis- late against it. Then, too, New Jersey has received so large an income from that she feels friendly towards them" And it may be added that so much has been ''trusted' that there isn't much left to be operated on. New Jersey has had the cream, and rich cream it has been.

THE RUSSIAN PRESS.

Influential Papers Now Published in
 the Empire of the Czar--The Charac-
 ter of the Censorship-Papers That
 Have Been Pounded and Suppressed
 -The Danger of Discussing Politics
 Newspapers Now Are Society Or
 gans
 There has never existed a political press in the real acceptation of the term in Russia. According to imme- moral tradition, the government of the Czar only allows the publication of news which is in every respect agreea ble to it's own views and opinions. In certain special cases of great impor- tance, when it is thought necessary either to excite or to calm public opin- ion, the Russian government is trifie more lenient. Thus, for instance, in 1872, during the wars against Napoleon l., two newspapers suddenly made their appearance, and at once became the recognized organs of the Russian Chauvinist party. "The Russian lnva- lid" mouthpiece of the Ministry of War, and the Syn Otetschesva," The first Russian newspaper dates from the reign of the Czar Alexis Q643-1GI6). It was known under the name of Cur rent News" and was only destined for the immediate "entourage" of the em- peror The real founder of the Rus sian press was Peter the Great, who first started "The St. Petersburg Gazette" the official organ of the Academy of Sciences, a complete collection of which exists since 1714.

NOBLE AVIATION,

If there is anybody in this broad land who has any claims to be considered a man of light and leading who has not been mentioned" for the presidency of Yale college let him get up on his hind legs and call attention to himself, or if he is too modest to do that let him get friend to do it for him. And if he can get himself mentioned as likely to be selected' all the better. The ambition to be president of Yale is a noble one. and everybody ought to have a noble ambition. It looks as if almost every body had. If Yale doesn't get a good president it will not be because of a lack of noble ambition.

USINESS.

The aldermen had another meeting last evening, and they did business with refreshing vigor and vim. They worked until midnight, and they ac- complished much. There was some lively, frank and honest talk about city matters and there was some sensible action. How much better and more encouraging such a meeting is than the mo quorum game to which we were treated awhile ago. Now that the aldermen have got down to business let them stay down until they have done all they can do for the protection of the city.

| it counts as simple, too, considering the occasion for its use.
 The skirt shown here is not of the ex- treme length, by any means, but an- swers the fashionable demand fully and is altogether more admirable than the exquisite's dust raiser This dress was in dark violet cashmere, and was con- ventional except for its trimming, which supplied character enough. It was banding of lavender and crystal beaded passementerie, a trimming that Is not only new, but that somehow announces that fact to every one who sees it.
 While tea gowns are in revival and appearing in gorgeous forms, there are house gowns a-plenty of quite differ ent sort. Lovely ones are shown in corded surah in all delicate shades They are made with square neck, the sleeves starting from the edge of the neck, no armhole showing. A pretty finish for the neck is banding of black velvet laid at intervals in little bow knots that are sewd fiat. Over the shoulders is worn a dainty collar of ivory net with applique lace design. Black velvet banding with bow knots are set a little above the edge of the gown, which falls straight to the hem and trails a little at the back. Sleeves are loose and to the elbow. Surah and bengaline are silks that are looking up, as the saying is, though silks in general have recently been in lessened demand.

OFFICERS AND GENTLEMEN.

We have lately heard much talk about
 conduct unbecomng an officer and a
 gentleman, and there has been some
 such conduct, but it is a pleasure to notice some conduct that is distinctly
 and thoroughly becoming an officer and
 a gentleman. Such is the conduct of ! Rear Admiral Sampson, who has writ | ten to the President calling his atten- l ton to the fact ''that the Senate, | though well disposed to most of the names on that list, has, for reasons not
 necessary to be here discussed, objected
 to my promotion, and has similarly failed to confirm the deserving officers
 about whose merits there has been no doubt or discussion" And Sampson further says: T did not. however, an-
 ticipate that dssa tisfaction with any act or acts of mine would cause the Senate to withhold from other officers promo ton which they have well deserved, and which has been promptly granted in similar circumstances to others. There fore, Respectfully suggest, MT. President, that your appointment of these officers about whom there is no discussion should at once be renewed, in order that they may thus secure their promotions under the personnel bill to which they are entitled, and without creating con- fusion''
 This is cheering, and so is the letter written to the Secretary of the Navy by Rear-Admiral Francis J. Higginson in which he says: q respectfully request to be allowed to resume my former number on the naval list after Rear Admiral Kempff. While deeply grateful to the President and yourself for my nomination for work done off Santiago, I do not regard my own services as So conspicuous as to warrant my advance ment while the other commanding off, cers, nominated at the same time as myself, go unrewarded. They were a gallant band of naval officers, and cer- tainly deserved well of their country and if their services are to go unrecog- nized, I desire to share the same fate" A similar request has been made by

The Bengal Bamgabasi thus expresses Its appreciation of Lady Curzon: Her color is like that of molten gold, its whiteness having already assumed a tinge of red in the warm climate of this country Her teeth are like a set of pearls. Her waist is beautifully slender
 Her ssraven tresses,' setting off the
 Whiteness of her white complexion, made her look like the very image of Saraswati. Her well-shaped head, with its black hair, is beautifully placed upon her swanlke neck. Her eyes are not dark, neither are they tinged with red. Their color is rather handsomely purple. Ever restless as they are, they are beaming with intelligence. Lady Curzon bears in her handsome person all the suspicious marks of prosperity. Her Forehead is small and narrow. Her neck is like the neck of the swan and her voice resembles the voice of the cuckoo.

A German paper devoted to wood working interests states that in select ing timber it is of the greatest import hnce to ascertain whether the tree from which it is taken was cut in the winter or in the summer; that which is cut in the winter being superior and having a higher value. The rea- son for this is that trees have a rest ing period between October and May, during which time the cells contain starch that is not found in the sum- n1er. The starch serves to close the pores, making the wood close and im- penetrable, so that winter-hewn tim Der is used exclusively in making bar rel slaves. TO test the timber it is covered with an iodide solution, which from the well known fact that starch coming into contact with iodide pro- duces a violet color, will give the tim Der a yellow color, if it were cut in the summer. On the other hand tree hewn in the winter will have series of dark ink-colored stripes on a yellow ground.

Idols aren't as popular in India as they have been. It is related that in the regions of famine and drought in India last year the famine-stricken crowds appealed to their gods for aid. In Aurungabad in western India, the nsiasts were paid for prayers for rain, to be continued for many days, with the usual accompanments of processions and much noise When days and weeks passed and no rain fell the people of the district were furious against their gods. In some places they daubed the idols with mud and blocked the approaches to the temples with masses of thorns. In other places they made pools in the Temples, into which they threw the idols, that they might shiver in water, as "a penalty for keeping the fields dry"
