The TsaF ms n Hunter.

From Pearson's Magazine.
Russia, by reason of its immense extent
and comparatively small population. offers
magnificent variety of sport. The woods
or Gatschina, owing to their vicinity to
st. Petersburg. are, however, usually the
scene of the biggest battues given by the
emperor. These estates are surrounded by
a high wall, and are further separated
from the road outside by ditch. Draw
bridges guarded by picked Cossacks give
entrance to this imperial residence. The
woods about 1t. though often heavily shot
crowded with game.
But perhaps the Tsar prefers the harder
and more toilsome days spent in the forests
of Bialowtege not far from Minsk to the
south of Moscow. Here an early start IS
the order of the day, and by o'clock the
whole party have left the castle behind
them. This country seat was built some
years ago by the Emperor Alexander III.
1t is the rule on such occasions to break
fast in the forest, and at these breakfasts
the empress is often present, seated on the
emperOrs right. This is no new fashion,
for the dowager empress used to accom-
pany the late Tsar, taking her children and
attendants with her.
Game abOunds in these royal preserves

one, except the tsar and his guests ever
penetrateS these ancient forests, where
tree is never cut.
Another reason is the fear that the bison

be found nowhere else except in these for

A Famous Lighthouse.
From the Chautauquan.


The most famous lighthouse on the Pa
cifc coast is that of Tillamook Rock sew
enty miles south of the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, Oregon. The rock is ninety
two feet above the sea, yet at the time Mr..
Lord made one of his photographs a wave
was breaking through a crevasse and hurl-
ing its spray higher than the summit. On
this day 1t was too rough for the Column
bine's boat to make a landing. Coal for
the station had to be hoisted in net sings,
and the keeper had to be lowered in a cage
OF basket and, suspended in midair over
the sea, report on the condition of himself
and his assistants, they were short of
provisions, most of the supply having been
destroyed during a storm.
From the side of the rock a heavy sea,
at the height of this storm, tore off two
pieces averaging sixty-three pounds and
hurled them upon the roof of the keep
er's dwelling With the weight of the
water these fragments made a hole twenty
six feet in area in the roof, flooded the
building to depth Of over five feet and
washed out two walls, throwing three
rooms into one, an Improvement for
which the keepers We're not especially
grateful Pieces of rock punctured the
iron roof in thirty-five places Although
the focal plane of the lantern Is 136 feet
above the sea level, eleven panes of glass
three feet long and three-eighths of an
inch thick were knocked in by pieces Of
rock, which went through the lantern. and
the water put out the light. The building
has now been raised six feet and a thick
concrete roof has been laid on heavy steel

A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE.
! Edmund GOsse Relates How Hans An
dersen Read to HIM.
From the Critic.

From the Critic.
1t was a favorite exercise with Andersen
to read aloud mis- fairy tales, soon after
they We're written, to some fortunate
friend. The number of those who can say
that they have enjoyed this privilege must
now be growing small. In England it must
be extremely small, for Andersen's latest
visit to this country was paid in 1897. The
present writer. therefore, is tempted to be-
lieve that there is some little rarity, at
least, In the experience which he is able to
relate, and the more so from a particular
which will be presently mentioned. Only
a single occasion did Hans Christian
Andersen read to me one of his unpublished
fairy tales, and, indeed, l had not the
honor of knowing him until he had given
to the world the main bulk of his produc-
tiOns. But in the summer of 1872 had the
happiness of listening to THE Cripple.
At that time Andersen had suite of rooms
in Copenhagen, but he was much more
frequently to be found at the mansion of
some friends just outside the Notifications,
called Rolighed or "Quietude." This house
had been the residence of several interest
ing people, among others OF no less per-
son than Oersted. 1t was now owned by
wealthy and liberal merchant. Mr.. MoritZ
Melchior, who had rebuilt it, and who had
turned 1t into a miniature Of Rosenberg
Castle with a tower. and with high bal
comics overlooking the sound.
In this house Andersen was so constantly
welcome that a portion OF lt-three or Tour
charming roomS-was set apart entirely for
his service, and he came and went in them
without restraint. "Rolighed" is the sub
ject OF Andersen's latest poem, in which
he says:
My home of homes where behind the slope
of elder bushes,
My life regained its sunshine and my harp
its tone,
To thee l bring with gratitude this blithe
song of mine!
1t was here, in his bright room open to
the east, with the long caravan of ships
going by in the sound below, like a flock
of wild swans" as he said. with the white
towns of Malmo and Landskrona sparkling
on the Swedish coast and the sunlight fall
ing on Tycho Brahes Island that Andersen
proposed to recite to me new fairy tale.
He read in a low voice. which presently
sank to almost q hoarse whisper he read
slowly, out of mercy to my imperfect ap
prehension, and as he read he sat beside
me- with his amazingly long and bony
banda great brown hand, almost like that
of man of the woods-grasping my Shout
der. As he read, the color Of everything
the twinking sails, the sea, the opposite
Swedish coast, the FURNISHED sky above
kindled with sunset. 1t seemed as if Nature
herself were flushing with ecstasy at the
sound of Andersen's voice

larger than ones hand. But he got a pat.
ent on it. and hundreds OF other Inventors
have sought to improve on his invention.
The First PcgGed Shoes.
Not everybody wears pegged shoes, But
everybody can appreciate the value OF such
invention. The idea is among the ear.
lest patents issued by the government The
United States didn't begin issuing patents
until 1870, and pegged shoes were invented
and patented July 80 1911. They didn't
number patents then. The patent was is
sued to TWO men, who described themselves
as being themselves masters of their art
and mystery of boot and shoe making
Their system for making shoes was prac.
tically the same as today. Their pegs were
the same size from end to end, however,
instead of being pointed, now. From
this idea We're subsequently evolved the
steel and iron pegs SO greatly in use today.
The two pegged shoes which they sent TO
the patent office to explain their patent
would pass muster today. They are well
made and well finished. One shoe was
made on a pointed last and the other on a
square one, and the shapes scarcely differ
from the shoes of today. The noticeable
thing about them is the quality of leather.
They of finely tanned, undresscd calf
skin. They could be put on and worn too
day without exciting comment.
