RUSSIA IN DEFEAT.
At the Close of the Crimean War Her
Weakness Stood Revealed.

Despite the suppression of most of
the foreign journals and the blotting
cut of page after page of the news
papers allowed to enter the empire
despite all that the secret could do in
REFRESHING unfavorable comment-it
became generally known that all was
going wrong in the Crimea News
came of reverse after reverse. of the
defeats of the Alma and Inkerman.
and as climax the loss of Sebastopol
and the destruction of the Russian
fleet.
In the midst of it all, as is ever the
case in Russian wars, came utter col
lapse in the commissariat department;
everywhere one heard hints and fin
ally detailed stories of scoundrelism
in high places, of money which had
been expended at the gambling tables
of Homburg or in the Breda quarter
of Paris
Then it was that there was borne
in upon me the conviction that Russia,
powerful as she seems when viewed
from the outside, is anything but
strong when viewed from the inside.
To say nothing of the thousand evi-
dent weaknesses resulting from auto
cracy-the theory that one man. and
he generally not one of the most high
ly endowed, can do the thinking for
hundred millions of people-there was
nowhere the slightest sign of any lrp-
rising Of a great nation, as. for in
stance, of the French against Europe
IN 1892, of the Germans against
France III 1918 and in 1870, of Italy
against Austria in 1859 and afterward.
and of the Americans in the civil war
of 1861.
There were certainly many noble
characters in Russia, and these must
have felt deeply the condition of
things. But there being no great mid
die class, and the lower class having
been long kept in besotted ignorance.
there seemed no force on which patri-
otism could take hold.-Dr Andrew
D. White in the Century.

fro in their endeavors to capture them;
the focks and herds browse near by,
tended by sunburnt shepherd boys,
and everything speaks of an early
move. Then the tents themselves are
struck and rolled UP, and the loading
of the beasts of burden commences
Every animal capable of bearing a
load is pressed into service. Cows
and bullocks, mares, mules, and don
keys-even men and women-share
joyfully in the labor, for spring is come
and the shade of the giant cedar trees
awaits the shepherds and hunters
and cattle thieves. Life for the Ber-
bers commences then, and for few
months, in the impenetrable hills and
forests, they can pass their existence
unhampered by Arab neighbors and
far beyond the reach of grasping offc
ialdom. Then a move is made, and
one and all, singing as they go, the
procession starts off. Men on horse
hack-their wiry little steeds as mud
stained as the saddles they bear
lead the way. Fine little creatures
they are, with all the grace of move
ment found only in the savage. Their
long, toga-like "haiks" and straight
heavy white cloaks add not little to
their picturesque appearances. Nor
are their features devoid OF beauty,
for, though the suns of summer and
the tempests of winter score and mark
their faces at an early age, they fail
to obliterate the pleasant smile and
glittering eye that are so typical of
the race. The women follow on foot,
or perhaps on donkey back, strange,
undergrown, huddled-up figures, wrap
ped in long striped shawls, and with
their heads tied in handkerch1efs of
many colors, and CATERS of knitted
wool or leather on their legs. What
little beauty nature has bestowed up
on them they manage most success
fully to conceal under the strange die
to of Berber fashions. Their com
plexions are stained and striped with
led 'henna" dye; their noses and
chins are tattooed in patterns of dark
blue, and even the antimony with
which they encircle their eyes is SO
carelessly and coarsely put on as to
give the appearance of recent scrim-
mage. Untidy, unkempt, and none too
clean, the Berber women offer few of
the attractions apparent in the men,
who, though often sadly in want of a
washing, are handsome, frank, and full
of spirit, with mirth that is infec-
tious. With the women are the child
rem, half-naked little savages, some
tied on to the back of friendly COW,
some running races by the roadside,
and others, again still at'the breast.
And so to the forest-Walter Har-
ris in Scribner's.

good road it is. Some men were re-
pairing it with a most ingenious roller.
Ii was a great round stone, drawn by
two oxen, and having its axle pro-
longed by a twenty-foot pole, at the
end of which bare-legged Arab was
fastened to balance the whole affair.
II the stone had toppled over, the pic
ture of the Arab dangling at the top of.
the slender flagstaff would have been
worth watching.
All along the ride we were remind

hesitate to commit myself to figures;
but it is certain that the thin, green
fields would stretch away in the dis
lance until lest over some little eie
walton. At one place the road was cut
through a hill honeycombed with rock
tombs, which the hal said were Jewish.
Every now and then we passed a tell,
or great hemispherical mound, built
up of the rubbish of a dozen ruined
towns; for even so late as Roman
times this was a well-cultivated coun
try. There is now no lumber avail
able for building purposes, and in a
number of villages the houses are all
built with conical roofs of stone.
Where the rock happens to be of a
reddish tinge, the houses remind one
Of nothing so much as collection of
Indian wigwams; where the stone is
white, as at Tell el-Biseh, it glitters
and sparkles like fairy city cut out
of loaf sugar-Lewis CASTOR Leary

HOW KING EDWARD DIMES.
Perfect Discipline of the Palace Corps
of Cooks.

OF COOkSs
The moment that their British Ma
jesties take their seats at the table
all activity in the kitchen ceases.
Quiet reigns. The dishes are all in
their assigned places, the courses pre-
pared in the forenoon are on special
tables, in summer between blocks of
ice. The meats, fowl and delicacies
that are to be served hot need only to
be put on the stove for a moment to
be served when needed.
The soup, which is cooked an hour
before the beginning of the dinner,
boils and bubbles, while the "hors
d'oeuvre" (the delicacy taken between
courses) is neatly arranged on small
silve platters within easy reach either
in the kitchen itself or else, as is the
case in Buckingham Palace, brought to
an ante-chamber-whic in this pa ace
the kitchen.
The time for the serving of the diff
ferent courses is fixed permanently
and the arrangement works like a
clock Every kitchen servant must
appear clad in snowy linen and must
have his own wash-basin and tower
close at hand.
No sound is heard save the occas on
al orders of the head cook But even
these are rarely necessary, as the SER
wants are well drilled. In spite of
this the head cook, conscious of the re-
l.; ;,
watchful. Not the slightest thing can
escape his notice.
Close to the dining-room is large
chamber into which all the dishes are
brought to receive the last touch be-
fore being carried to the board. The
removed from the table between the
different courses are also taken to this
room and are left here until after the
repast. The man in charge here is
attired in faultless dress suit and
gives his orders in low whispers.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra,
with the other members of the royal
family, and on special occasions distin-
guished guests also, have their own
special serving men,while all the
others present at the board are served
by waiter.
The entire staff of servants serving
at the table are dressed in black
They appear in knee breeches "swal.
low-tair' coats, high stockings and
buckled~ shoes. The table service of
royal household is of immense value,
and consists as occasion requires of
dishes made of silver, of gold or of the
finest Chinese porcelain.
The King is fond of good eating, but
prefers plain. nourishing and substan-
tial foods. He is lover of the oyster
and likes vegetable soups, but cares
neither for mock turtle nor for oxtail
soup. He eats game, fowl prepared
with toasted bread and asparagus
heads, preserved fruits and toast, but
eats no pastries. The Queen on the
other hand, is fond of postries and
sweets. She once said to an Austrian
diplomat: Il have the appetite of a
dairy maid" The queen usually sub
mits her wishes in regard to the menu
to her lady-in-waiting, the Hon. Miss
Knollys, who in turn acquaints the
head cook with them.
Both the king and queen are fond of
seeing the board decorated with flow
ers. but King Edward has an aversion
TO certain strong smelling exotics, and
orchids are consequently banished
from the royal dining-room.

WHEN THE WORLD is YOUNG.

The small boy was coming home at
a much later hour than he was wont to
be out alone. 1t was growing quite
dark, and as he came through the
grove he could be heard whistling Wig
orously, if not very tunefully, long be
fore he reached the house. The elders
exchanged amused glances.
What made you whistle so loudly,
Willie?" asked one of them as the lit
tie fellow entered.
"Well, you see," answered Willie, So
berly, cit was pretty dark out there,
and thought if some boy-some little
boy-should be coming along he might
be afraid, and it would be less lone
some for him if he heard me whistle"
Whistling to keep up the courage of
some other boy, says Forward, had
brought the young traveller bravely
home. No one knows how much the
CHEEKY note in the darkness may help
some one else, and always it makes
ones own step firmer.
A Concord New Hampshire) kinder
garten teacher tells the following story
of recent experience that she had
with one of her little tots: The rules
require when a child reports illness in
the family, that a teacher shall find out
whether such illness is contagious or
not, and it is customary to send the
child home for a statement of facts.
The other morning one of the younger
boys reported that "his mamma was
sick.' He was sent home to find out
the nature of the illness, and soon re-
turned with the information
Mamma says it amt catching"
THAT won't do replied the teacher.
"You must go home and find out and
then come and tell me just what Is the
matter with your mamma"
Pretty soon the boy came toddling
back into the room. Teacher" said
he, mamma says it's all right She
says it's boy, and It amt atc-ing."

Northern Yuma and southern Mo. have counties have been the scene of two attrocious murders the past two weeks, both caused by jealousy. At Harris sburg, few days ago, a Mexican named Ygnacio Samaniego enticed one Pedro Erive into the desert to look at a purported placer find and while the latter was bending down looking at the ground the former crushed his head with big rock. Samaniego was enamoured of the wife of Erive and thought that by putting the hus band ont of the way the woman would live with him. The murderer, after the crime, went to the home of his victim and told the horrible story of the crime to the wife and asked her to go with him. She refused and informed the officers. Samaniego is now in the Yuma jail awaiting trial.
