any more than they have already

reports of sportsmen through
this State have been to the effect
that the birds are to be found IN
small numbers and all of them
found are old birds. significant OF
what has long been determined In
the mind of the writer, that the
young birds were either killed In
the egg. or drowned, If they were
lucky enough to reach the open air
One more year of the sort this
one has proven, will be deemed
sufficient excuse for the sportsmen
to work for another close season

years. A pity tits they didn't, in
stead OF closing the law for long
period as they did several years
ago, 90 to work and have enacted
a law prohibiting the sale OF game

The reconstruction of the cabinet by MT. Balfour has not increased its strength. It remains what 1t was with its best elements eliminated. The policy that 1t seeks to give effect to- and on which 1t depends for support. Is no long CT accepted as necessarily sound. Little by little, many of those who shouted for war are beginning to suspect that they were fooled and hoodwinked into assent, and that the WAT with its vast expendi- ture of blood and money might have been avoided, had wiser counsefs prevailed. Whilst they still believe that our expend- iture on armaments must be heavy in or der to insure our safety, they perceive that the panic expenditure on them that has not been going on for the last few years cannot be indefinitely increased, as the government would have us believe.
 
 Once again the Tsar is disappointed in his hope of an heir, and that 1t Is thus is a real misfortune not only for his majesty and his consort, but for all Russia--nay, for all Europe. When the Tsarta's first child proved to be a girl, 1t was regarded as matter of no great importance: for there was every chance of a second. and that second might prove boy. Still, even then the general feeling in Russia was one of regret that the young menage should have begun so badly. When the second child came, however, and it, too. was a girl, the political significance of the event was recognized from the first. and so bitter was the disappointment openly expressed at 1t in St. Petersburg and Moscow that certain provincial authori- ties received an official hint that it was not necessary to draw atteptien in eoun- try districts to the little grand duchess arrival. Thus among the peasants 1t came to pass that no one ever heard of the Tsar's second daughter until he had already a third. Then, from townsfolk and peasants alike there was an out burst, not only of disappointment, but, oddly enough, of wrath; the lower classes in Russia-they are most inconceivab1y ignorant for the most part. ana superstI- titious in the extreme-while layishing

 Meanwhile in hope. perhaps. of mak- Ing for peace. a prophecies had arisen whowho solemnly announced 1t had been revealed to her that the Tsaritsa must have seven daughters before she could ever have a son. And now things have gone from bad to worse; for whereas hitherto the peasants have thought her majesty worthy enough to have daugh- ters, although not to have sons, now the chances are they will think that she has been weighed in the balance and found unworthy of having even daughters. Nor is it only among the peasants that this feeling with regard to Tsaritsa Alex andra prevails; it is pitiable to note the contemptuous glances that are cast some times even by well-dressen men and wo- men. at her poor little girls as they drive through the street of St. Petersburg. They are singularly attractive children. with their pretty little faces, bright eyes. and winning ways; yet no one ever gives them a smile, let alone a greeting as they pass; no one ever makes on them kind- 1y comment-it Is as if their very place in the imperial carriage were grudged them.

 The Tsaritsa has never had much infiu- ence in Russia, and now she will have less than ever. and this, in itself, Is a mis- fortune both for Russia and for Europe. For she Is an excellent woman, and she might do much good socially; she Is a clever woman too, one with keen eyes and a clear head, and she might do much good politically. The Tsar is in need of a disinterested adviser, and no one would be better fitted for the role than she if only As things are, however, she can do nothing; she is under a ban, as it were. She must stand aside and see the power she ought to wield, and could wield well, being wielded by usurpers; and this for no other reason than that she is son. less. She has to fight even for her place by her husbands side, to fight for 1t against one whose only claim to it is that she has a son already, although one that can never be heir to the Russian empire.

BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION.

The most expressive face is not the one
which writhes or agonizes with every
sorroWful feeling, or twists and SquirmS

er the one which retains a calm exterior
while the strongest emotions of the soul
play upon it with their lights and shad
ows The face should be the smooth
curtain on which the heart exhibits
it's various pictures without disturbing
it. Not the stage which requires the
shifting of scenery for every act The
reason why SO many beautiful faces are
to be found in a convent is in a great
measure due to the daily habit of COM
posing the features in long hours of
meditation and prayer. Unmarried by
contending emotions, the features are
gradually nodded into harmonious out
lines. To sum up advice on this point
train your features to composure, and
avoi all grimacing habits.
Because good humor is an obliging
quality, many women think they must
always be in a laugh or a broad smile
in order to be charming. This is a griev-
Gus mistake.
Don't let any woman ina CINE that She
can ever have personal charm if she lack
sentiment or feeling. Without sentiment
there is a fatal vein of the prosaic,
the commonplace, which will keep her
forever, no matter what her other gifts,
from possessing or welding the widest
influence her sex can claim. There are
women who never have a love deeper
than the love of her pet poodle; who
never know an enthusiasm more ardent
than that inspired by a new bonnet;
whose deepest emotions are caused by
the pisdemeanors of the cook. But if
these are scarcely the noblest of their
sex, neither can they be called the
most rich in charm.

To the Rescue.

10 the Rescue.
Bard, foreman of the works had had

were sullen. They demanded their nav
Every moment of waiting lent strength
to the rumor that Middleton & Blessing
were going to cheat them out of their
back wages.
At length under the leadership of Big
Jake Wolf, the chief maIcontent, che men
had again turned into frenzied mob
and had hustled Bard away, declaring
there should be no dedication, and talk
ing possession Of the works.
Wolf jumped on a key outside the pow

'"Then let's take the law into our own
hands and blow the whole aqueduct into

A yell of delight followed the propo-
sition.
Break into the powder house, some
of you," went on Wolf. That's the way!
Now out with the kegs and the dynamite.
So! Now lay the train, and in five min
utes the works of Middleton & Blessing
will lie in the bottom of Lost River. I'll

He stepped down from the key, and
striking a match, stopped over the fuse.
Stop
The cry rang out in clear, gir1ish
voice.
All turned. In the excitement they had
not heard the advancing hoofbeats of
a hard-ridden horse until Ora galloped
into their midst and slid exhausted, from
her painting horse.
"Stopl' she gasped once more.
.'What'd we stop for?'' grumbled Wolf.
''Because-because I've got the money!
A mighty roar of joy rose from the crowd
and hats were thrown in air. Wolf alone
was doubtful.

''Have you ever known me to tell a he?'

But Bard's gone away

Despite VOLTS protests, the whole mob
rushed off in search of the foreman, leav-
ing Ora alone.
The excitement over she sank listlessly
on the steps of the powder house.

thought, happily. "He said twas dis
