Red Tame In Russia.

Every time a Russian minister leaves
town his colleagues are notified of the
journey, besides the council of the en-
pire, the cabinet of the emperor, the
empires controleur and secretary, the
sacred synod, the emperOr's military
secretary, the empress, the governors
of Moscow, Varsovie, Kieff, etc, ad
infinitum, to all appearance. When
he returns, the same minute notifica-
ton performance is gone through. So
each ministerial departure from and
return to ST. Petersburg involves an
issue of some 200 notices. There are
10 ministers, and taking three journeys
as the average for each, we have at
the end of the year a grand total of
some 10000 official papers.

ROYAL MEETINGS.

The meetings of sovereigns at criti
cal stages of European affairs are
events Of great Importance. An ex-
change Of friendly greetings and en-
braces between the German Emperor
and the Tsar of all the Russias denotes
that the two most powerful mon archs
on the Continent are not prepared to
quarrel with each other over ConStan-
tinople and Asia Minor. The German
Emperor'S visit to Queen Victoria at
Windsor is a sign that secret under
standing exists between England and
the Fatherland, and that the two
countries are to stand together and
help each other in carrying out vari-
Gus policies.
These three sOvereigns exert i'm
mense influence in directing the
fortunes of Europe, but in consequence
of their high rank and the rigid re-
quirements of court etiquette, they
are restricted in their methods of ex-
erting it. Their intercourse wit one
another is one of their methods of
influencing their subjects.
Each sovereign brought to these
recent meetings a personality which
is well-defined> force in European
affairs. The Tsar is a dreamer, who
dislikes military life and is easily
drawn into ways of pleasantness and
peace. The German Emperor is a
shrewd, energetic and somewhat
vainglorious sovereign, who keeps
himself in sight of the world at every
important crisis, but whose ambition
is the maintenance of European peace.
Queen Victoria takes pride in being
the monarch of the worlds mightiest
empire. She loves power for it's own
sake, but she also has true womanly
heart, and is champion of peace.
These royal meetings and visits
make it less difficult for three great
empires to avoid arrangements and
the horrors of European war.-The
Youths Companion.

French Comfort.

In the best hotel in Paris one gets
luxury, comfort and even splendor, but
never ones cards or notes, according
to Harper's Bazaar. There is a fatal
gulf for these. One is a number, not
an individuality. The table is, how
ever very luxurious. 1t is a clean and
well ordered caravansary. AS for the
comfort of warmth in winter, they do
not know the meaning of the word.
We are justly accused of exaggerating
the heat of our rooms in America; the
furnace is denounced; but after freez-
ing to death in Paris, one of the cold
est of cities, very far north, one re-
turns willingly to the heated rooms of
America.
We eXaggerate the excellence of the
French bed. There is no such thing in
France as that comfortable, broad, low
thing which we call a French bed. A
high, hard, narrow shelf is the apology
for it.
We exaggerate our comforts by hav-
ing gas in our sleeping rooms and hot
and cold water in our stationary wash
bowls and bathrooms. They never eX-
aggerate comfort in France. You have
as many candles as you will pay for,
and no bath, unless you order it, when
men laboriously bring you a tub filed
with hot or cold water, and take it
away after you have bathed.
We exaggerate very much the sup
posed good living in France. To go to
a hotel in Paris to live we must expect
out of the season very little good food,
very little that is sustaining and nour-
ishing. 1t is "all sauce" There are no
good joints Of mutton, no good Ameri-
can desserts. This is an especial dis
comfort to the sick, who never get
good toast, good custard, good tapioca
pudding, nor oysters that they like.

ARMOR LIKE ADAMANT.

The Edison process by which the
tensile strength of iron and steel and
their elasticity are strengthened to a
degree which, as it is claimed, sur
passes the Harvey and the Krupp
method, has undergone a series of
scrutinizing tests and has proven to be
successful, it's inventor says, in the
New York Journal.
The treatment differs from the
modes now in vogue in that the whole
body of the iron and steel is pene-
trated regardless Of its thickness. In
this way the metal becomes densely
solidified.
Thomas A. Edison, Jr., the inventor
of the process, is jubilant over his
success, and declares that when the
company he Is organizing is ready to
begin business he will revolutionize
the armor making industry.
II have spent more time,' he said,
''on this invention than any other.
Actual experiments which have been
carried on in most of the large iron
tensile strength of iron and steel has
been greatly increased by our system.
s'We raise the standard of steel
above it's original state by adding to
it's tensile strength above five per cent.
and to it's elastic limit thirty per cent,
and decrease the expansion some fif-
teen per cent, as shown by physical
tests made by the Bethlehem Iron
Company on steel we treated for it.
"By this process high grade steel
can be made to stand as much re-
sistance as the nickeled steel treated
by the Krupp or Harvey process now
in use by our Government. The differ
ence in cost would be from 5000 to $3.50
per ton.
"By taking the same grade of steel
as is now used, viz, nickled steel, a
six inch plate treated by the Edison
process will stand as much as an eight
or ten inch plate treated by the Krupp
or Harvey process, thus reducing the
weight of war vessels from thirty five
to forty five per cent, making them
more buoyant, and the same motive
power will propel them much faster.
awe will confine our efforts to arm
or plate, but will treat all kinds of
steel for commercial purposes, includ-
ing structural iron and used in skele
ton construction and bridge work,
which can be treated so that the
weight will be reduced from thirty
five to forty five per cent. and carry
the same load. Pins, needles and
pens can also be treated, and
steel toughened by the system. The
whole molecular construction is
changed and its life strengthened.
"The Naval construction depart
ment of the Government will make a
test or the armor now being mades>fn
our Poughkeepsie plant within the
next thirty days. and we will then
demonstrate that we can save the
Government millions in armoring
its ships"

Ancient EnShiOn JargOn.

The language of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even in
these days of emancipated and, we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood, but, according to an extract
from a fashion journal of 1877, the jar
gon of over a century ago was even
more astounding. This is how the pa
per described the dress of a certain
Mile. D. at the opera:
She appeared in a dress of ''stitied
sighs," Ornamented with "superhuous
regrets the bodice cut in a perfect
candor" point and trimmed with in
discreet complaints" Her hair was
dressed in Sustained sentiments
with a headdress of Sustained con-
quest" ornamented with several fly
aways" and "dOwncast eye ribbons,
and her collar was ''beggar on horse
back" color.
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionabIe woman of the days when
French society danced on the edge Of
the volcano of 1879, but to their de-
scendantS of q hundred years later
they have absolutely no meaning.-San

GOLD STANDARD.

In his annual report, Lyman J.Gage,
the secretary of the treasury, makes
strong plea for the stability of the
gold standard. On this subject he
saYs:"If it be true, as true it undoubt-
eddy is, that gnd is now our standard
of money values, the future needs
only the assurance that it will so con-
tinue to be, until at least the people
shall be so united in their desire for a
change therein as to be able to direct
the voices of both houses of congress
and secure the approving signature of
the chief executive. The confidence
that congress will furnish this kind Of
a guaranty has inspired enterprise,
called capital into use, improved the
condition of labor and given new i'm
petGs to our energies. To make this
favorable state Of affairs permanent
the highest security should be given
that the common denomination of all
calculations in value shall remain I'M
changed. It is evident that direct
and effective way to do this would be
to declare that the credit obligations
of the Government itself, whether
payable on demand Or at a future
period, shall be paid in gold coin of
present weight and fneness; or it
would be equally effective if, by posi-
tive law, it were made mandatory
upon the trearury department so to
pay and receive the two kinds of
money-silver and gold-as to main
tain their parity under all conditions.
Such action would be in logical con-
formity to what has already been
established as the ''policy'' of the Gov
eminent. To the end contemplated,
the treasury shall be clothed with
sufficient powers to meet all emer-
gencies. The establishment of an
ample fund, separate and apart from
the general funds to be held specific
ally as a redemption fund for demand
liabilities, must be an important Incl
dent to such legislation. The recon-
mendations Of the President in this
particular, if formulated into law,
seem to be adequate."
