tinued, for when she tried to take her
place as Czarina by her husbands side
she found her mother-in-law firmly in
stalled there. Even to-day, after years
of married life, between her and the
Car there is always Czarina Marie.
Trying Position.
The young Czarina is in a very try
ing position, one so trying, indeed,
that for proud woman-and she is
a proud wornan-it must sometimes be
well nigh intolerable. She is full of
energy; she has a head that can think
and heart that can feel, and she
would give her right hand TO be able
TO do useful work in the world and
better the lot of those around her. And
she can do nothing; she is helpless,
tied hand and foot; for whenever she
tries to do anything czarina Marie bars
the way. If she announces her inten-
tion of undertaking any work what
ever, no matter what. she Is sure to be
informed that czarina Marie has al
ready made arrangements for the do
ing Of the said work; and n. in spite
OF this warning, she persists In under

Religious teaching. 1t is true, may act
as deterrent. Secular penalties will
have little effect. A man who has
reached the point at which he Is will
ing to take his own life is not likely
TO be influenced by human considera-
tions. He is then face to face with God
and with eternity. If he draws back it
viii be because of The moral aspects OF
the case. In this age, however, when
there are perhaps more men than ever
before to whom the future is of little
concern, even religion and morals may
have lost some of their restraining
power. Trifling with the corpse would
be waste of time. When higher mo-
tives do not avail the prospect of nav
ing ones body despitefully used viii
be disregarded. The fact is that the
true policy IS not that of making it
disagreeable for a nan to have killed
himself but rather that of making il
pleasant for him to stay alive.

useless as to struggle against the gods.
Yet there are Russians who rail against
the Cars wife for wasting her time
reading English novels! So far as So
ciety is concerned, she has no, infiu-
ence at all. 1t is Czarina Marie who
decides what fetes shall be given and
to whom invitations shall be sent; and
If Czarina Alexandra insists, as she
does sometimes, on having a voice in
the matter, she insists in vain as often
as not. There have been many bat
ties royal on this point between the
two Czarinas: those that were fought
while the coronation festivities were
under discussion are still spoken of at
the Russian court with bated breath.
IT Is always the dowager, however
who has carried the day, and who will
no doubt do SO in the battles to come,
so long, at least, as the consort is the
mother only Of girls. Should she ever
present the Gar With an heir the
state Of things might perhaps be al
tered.

Furnishing THE CORPSE.
From the chicago tribune.

Among all proposed methods of dis
couraging suicide perhaps that which
is said to have been proposed last Sun
day by Louisville minister is least
likely to suit the present age. Let
the bodies of those persons who have
destroyed themselves" said the min
lister, "be exposed to public indignities."
From such a policy public taste will
recoil. And public good sense, too.
There is every reason to think that
indignities to the bodies of suicides
would be as futile as they would be
shocking.
The idea Of treating suicides to a
post norton punishment Is not new.
Plutarch has a story on this point. The
maidens OF MDetus were seized with
an unaccountable suicidal passion. II
was feared that the Milesian race
would die out. A law was passed pro-
vlding that II a maiden committed sui
eide her body should be drawn naked
through the streets. The purpose Of
the legislators was reached. Suicides
ceased II is not recorded, however.
