FANClES OF THE CZARiNA.
One IL FOR Wonderful Russ'a1 Lace

One IL FOR Wonderful Russian Lace
and Another for Black Roses.
The czarina has aroused the wrath
of all her court ladies and, rumor says,
of the car himself. by her studied sim
pliciJy in dress. She heartily dislike1
gorgeous clothes, and if she consulted
her own wishes would seldom wear
and that is for the Russian lace whca
is made only for the Russian impe-
rial family. Years ago 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
passion for this lace, and. being
woman OF whims. sent for the Lace
workers, about 200 in all, and forced
them 10 leave their homes and settle
in ST. Petersburg. The story of their
captivity and inconsistencies Is a pa
thetic one. j he older women of the
tribe died. one after another, OF home
sickness and age. but the younger, less
submissive, were in perpetual rebellion
Many OF them escaped and rejonel
their husbands and lovers and the en-
peror threatened to send the couples TO
Siberia, but the empress. feeling a
slight responsibility in the matter. in

palace married and were we'll provided

living, and they are kept busy making
lace for the czarina. Another fad Of

{ hiuese inquests.

COroners inquests are we'll known
among the Chinese One of the chief
differences between their system and
ours is that the Chinese doctors never
dissect In fact, Cinnamon have per-
feet horror Of dissection There are
few things more absurd than the code
of rules laid down for the Chinese cor
oner. IN the first place he is hidden
TO make sure that he has dead body
before he begins his inquest. That
however, is less ridiculous than it
sounds, for the heather Chinee is tricky
and may demand an inquest on a sham
deceased with a view Of extorting
money from some one who may be
denounced as having caused his death
The preposterous part OF the code
comes in with regard to the alleged
signs which show the cause OF death
II the deceased is supposed to have
been poisoned, rice is put into his
mouth and then taken out and given to
a chicken. Its effect on the fowl de-
cides the question. Most OF the other
methods adopted are even more absurd
and fanciful and as a result inquests
in China do very little to prevent
crime.

Interesting Experiments with Sue

An interesting work with deaf chill
drep is being done under the direction
OF the superintendent Of music in the
Detroit public schools A class from
which the best results are obtained
consists of about six pupils. The
children gather around piano, rest
ing their hands and in some cases their
arms upon the instrument. Soon after
a piece is started the children will be-
sin TO count in correct time with the
music, catching the accentuation Of
beats through the vibration of the
wood Occasionally child would
seem to progress beyond the mere re-
spouse to time and count aloud with
some approximation to the tune. When
this fact was observed by the teach
err the pupils were told to repeat the
words baby, baby" over and over
and at the same time lullaby was
played on the piano. In a short time
il was noticed that nearly all the chill
dren with whom the experiment was
tried indicated the air with more or
less distinctness. Still another expert
ment was tried by singing the scale
into the ear of boy and playing It
on the piano. After few trials the
pupil was able to sound the notes as
well as could many children with UNI
impaired hearing. These tests seem to
indicate that singing with some degree
of accuracy may be taught the most
deaf children. If such proves the fact

1t now transpires that the great
Transsiberian railroad must be prac-
tically rebuilt at cost of something
more than $4,000, 900 by reason of the
fact that too light rails and unsafe
wooden trestles were used. This ap
pears tremendous piece Of false econ
omy, but really it is only repeating
our own experience in transcontinental
railroad building. In such work the
most important thing seems to be at
any cost to push the line through. But
after this is done and the line an
nounced finished the real work has
only begun. Then come the ballasting
and filling in, the substitution Of heavy
for light rails and of iron for wooden
trestles. Practically in all long rail-
roads a temporary track is laid, and
when that is open a generation is spent
in rebuilding it permanently. The
Transsiberian line, however, is so stu
penduous an undertaking that to re-
construct it SO soon seems a wOeful
waste. ~.s,.
