THE 4RounLE IN kussIA.

The minister's assassin walked up and down the street, at the corner whence he threw the bomb, at least quarter of an hour, waiting for von Plehve's carriage He did not arouse the suspicion of several policemen who were almost alongside of him, because he wore an official (railroad) cap. A uniform of any kind invariably in spires confidence in Russia. The mur- derer must have known von Plehve's carriage we'll, as he paid no attention to the passage of several other min isters who had preceded von Plehve in going to Peterhof. As soon as the vic- Itim's carriage appeared the assassin ran forward with the evident intention of throwing the bomb through the win dow. Von PIehve must have seen him. Had the cyclist detective accompanying the minister ridden straight he might have knocked down the murderer and saved the minister's life at the cost of his own, but the cyclist instinctively swerved.
 So reads the account of the assassin ation of von Plehve. And, like accounts of other assassinations, it indicates the Iimpossibility of escaping assassination when the assassin is smart and per sistent. The talk Is that there is a plot to assassinate other Russia officials. If there is it will probably be carried out. There are safer places in this world just now than high place in Russia. Desperate people are pressing for 2 change there and assassination is one of their ways of pressing. It is a horrible way, but this has never been a pleasant world in some of it's aspects.

 that he didn't think he ought to have

 pin money. Then up spake the woman and said: "FIe was generous enough
 with his money, but wife wants more
 than money. My husband has not
 spoken to me for three months and a half. I cannot live with a man who
 will not speak to me. There was nothing
 but silence in our house. Such life is most miserable. A woman wants com |panionship and she must talk to her husband. I won't go back to that house again. Never!" Of course this tender, suffering wo-
 man is right, and the stupid, silent
 man is wrong. as usual. A man who
 wont talk to his wife when and in the way she wants to have him, or wont let her talk to him when and how she
 wants to. is a man whom it would be
 base fiattery to call good husband, or even a gentleman. There can be no hap
 piness with such man. A married
 man who doesn't want to talk at home should be treated just as the obstinate
 parrot who wouldn't talk was. He doesn't deserve love, or even tolerance.
 And the woman who doesn't want to talk should never be made to.

SOME HIGH FINANCE.


 There is more than one kind of high finance. M. Lannoy recently presented to the French Chamber a proposal by which, as he contended, the government cannot only secure the necessary funds for the payment of pensions to work men, but money enough to redeem its colossal debt and undertake important works without increasing taxation. His idea is that the whole of the French
 debt should be converted into 2A per
 cent. lottery loan of the Credit Foneier or Vile de Paris type, with monthly
 drawings for prizes varying between 1, 100000 francs and 600 francs, and that other lottery bonds be redeemed at
 double their nominal value. After pre-
 senting his bill to the Chamber M. Lan- noy had long interview with the finance minister, M. Rouyier, who, it
 appears, did not discourage his idea.
 but advised him to limit the scheme to the 8 per cent. rentes, leaving the ac-
 cessory state debts out of the calcula-
 tions. M. Lannoy followed this advice,
 and his amended project has been sub
 mitted to the Chamber by M. Georges
 Berry. The grand monthly prize of l. 100000 francs has disappeared from the scheme, but there still remains a
 monthly prize of 5OOOOO francs and am
 other of 100000 francs. Accompanying
 the bill is note which says that, at
 the present time, the state pays 666,- lS55,O0O francs annual interest on the 3 per cent. rentes, of a nominal capital of l22,22S, 900 francs. By reducing the Interest on that nominal capital to 2K
 per cent. the annual interest to be paid by the state would be only 5OO,141,250 francs M. Lannoy proposed to employ
 the 166, 713,750 francs which would thus
 be left free in the following manner:
 First 100000 900 francs to pay the inter- lest of a 2A per cent. lottery loan or
 4.0OO,OOO,OOO francs for the creation Of lworkmen's pensions or other national needs; secondly, 6O,OOO, 900 francs for the redemption of debt, and, thirdly. 1s,71s,- 75O francs for the total amount of the twelve monthly prize drawings.
 Good figuring. And we should think such a scheme might be popular. There
 are many people who like to take
 chances in a lottery of any kind, and perhaps there are many more who would like to take chances in an honest lottery.

The late Wilhelm Jordan, poet, play wright. reciter, novelist, historian, and theologian, was one of the most pug nacious of German writers. During the last decades of his long life he set him. self up at Frankfort as sort of uni- versal critic of everything going on in the world; and he was so convinced of his representing the truth on all occa- sions that he chose for his motto: 'fWhoever is not with me is against himseif.'' He was his own publisher. His book on the "FulfiIment of Chris tiauity'' is an attempt to reconcile re- ligion with modern science; the ideas developed in it recur often in his other books, including his novel Die &c., balds." His play "Durch's Ohr" was for some years in the repertory of all Ger man theaters. His pet enemy was Richard Wagner, whom he attacked fe- rociously. He, like Wagner, wrote a Nibelung poem, and it was as reader of this, on tours extending from st. Pet ersburg to San Francisco, that he be- came most widely known.

Grand Duke Cyril, of Russia, it is said, attributes his escape from the blowing up of the Petropavlovsk to the miraculous powers of 3 charm which was given him shortly before the dis aster. Five years ago a lieutenant of marines named Cube visited the church in which are preserved the relics of St. Barbe and was given a silver ring which had touched the relics. He was told never to part with the ring, as it would bring him good luck. When the war broke out the lieutenant was made aide-de-canp to Grand Duke Cyril and
 fl Easter Day, wishing to give his chief present, he could think of noth- ing better than the ring The grand duke objected that he ought not to part with his charm, but the lieutenant in sisted, and so the grand duke accepted the gift. Soon afterward, when they were both on board the Petropavlovsk, the ship blew up and the lieutenant was killed, but the grand duke escaped.
