FANCIES OF THE CZARiNA.
Ono IL For Wonderful Russian Lace

The czarina has aroused the wrath

Of the czar himself, by her studied sim

gorgeous clothes, and IL she consulted
her own wishes would seldom wear
jewels; but she has n enthusiasm,
and that Is for the Russian lace which
Is made only for the Russian impe-
rial family. Years ago a tribe OF lace
makers lived near Archangel and made
by hand a deep yellow lace of marvel
Gus design and texture. The Empress
Marie, wife OF Alexander H., developed
a passion for this lace, and, being a
woman OF whims. sen for the lace
workers, about 200 in all. and forced
them to leave their homes and settle
In st. Petersburg. The story OF their
captivity and inconsistencies Is a pa
thetic one. The older women Of the
tribe died, n after another, OF home

submissive, were in perpetual rebellion,

why People become Deaf.

1t has taken the medical world a
great many years to discover that a
loss OF hearing Is almost invariably
caused by some disease of the throat,
or nose, or both. Blu very recent re-
searches in these fields have demon
strated this fact beyond question, and
1t is now admitted by the more ad-
vanced medical men that, aside from
rupture of the ear-drum there Is scarce
ly a symptom Of defective hearing
which Is not traceable directly to the
condition of the nose and throat. In
view of the new discoveries, ear speci-
alists are finding their occupations
gone, save as they make their particu-
lar branch an assistant in further in
vestigation. 1t is said, as we have al
ready pointed out. that the use of
smelling salts is one Of the most pro-
life causes Of deafness, operating by
weakening the olfactory nerves, and
through them the auditory system. All
strong and pungent odors should be
avoided as far as possible, especially
those which act upon the secretory pro
cesses, and, as the popular expression
goes, make the nose run"
