TWO WOMEN OF RUSSIA.

1t would be interesting to the world
ut large to know what is going on be-
hind the scenes in Russia today. AS
is well known Nicholas the Second is
delicate man Of naturally good inclin-
atiOnS but surrounded by relatives
and advisers who arc the very worse
kind of dcSpOtS. Among those advisers
the most influential with the Car is
the Dowager Empress, his mother the
widow Of Alexander the Third, and the
sister Of Queen Alexandra of England
This woman is an unusually strong
character and Of most peculiar tenn
permanent. She is the daughter of King
Christian of Denmark, the noblest and
most beloved sovereign of all European
rulers. Dagmar, for that was her
name, and her sister Alexandra. the
present Queen of England. were born
and reared in poverty for at that time
their father was lower officer in the
Danish Navy. She was brought up to
do the household work and to associate
with common people and long after she
married the Prince Imperial of Russia
she continued to be most charitable
and democratic in her manner. But.
upon the assassination of her father
i1-lAw. Alexander the Second. Gar Of
all the Russians, she became CZarina.
and with this change departed all her
democracy. She is to-day the most
stanch supporter of autOcratic rule in
all Russia, and in this she differs from
her daughter-in-law AliX. the present
CZarina of Russia. The wife of Mich
olas the Second is Il woman of the best
dispositions and habits. 1t is Il con-
slant struggle between her and the
Cars mother as to which shall control
tine Car. Sometimes it is one and
sometimes it is the other. Fortunately
in the past it has most often happened
that the CZarina was successful. She
has great influence with her husband
and so is able to thwart much of the
plotting which has for its basis the
pownger Empress. The Dowayer En-
press. curiously enough. considering
her Origin, has always been extremely
fond of society and has been very ac-
tive in the plotting and pickering
which surround the Court On the
other hand AliX, the favorite grand
daughter of Queen Victoria. has al
ways stunned society and refuses to
countenance the immortality surround
ing that Court. If the world knew
the truth it would probably be found

Whilst the Irish press teens with
lamentations about the fight of the
people, and Bishops and priests i'm
plore them to remain at home, it is
remarkable that seductive advertise
mentS inviting them to emigrate should
be given a place in so-called National
papers. says the Philadelphia Catho-
lie Standard and Times. In more than
one of these papers there is ''notice
to intending emigrants to Canada" of.
fering large farms in Manitoba and
the Northwest. OH terms that seem
very liberal and philanthropic. Small
farms and town lands are also offered,
as a bait for less wealthy emigrants,
by the same firm of Manitoba solicitors
who throw out the bait to the bigger
fish. SnoOth-tongued emigration
agents and real estate lawyers have
been the principal leeches who have
sucked out the life blood of Ireland.
No really patriotic Irish paper would, at
such a crisis as has now been reached
in the country's fortunes, give inser-
ton to any advertising bait from such
agencies.

1t now looks as though Niedringhaus
would he defeated in his aspirations to
succeed Cockrell as United States Sen

railroad Spectator. may he expected to
meet the same fate If few honest,
independent Republicans in the Mis-
souri, legislature would but turn their
attention to Senator Cockrell and cast
their ballots for him, his election would
follow. Backed by the unanimous vote
of his own party. not more than seven
Republican votes are necessary to i'll
sure the return Of Cockrcll. who has
served the state so long and faithfully
and who is hailed by all parties in
Congress as an able and an incorr,lpti-
bic man. Under conditions now exist
ing in their own ranks relative to the
senatorial struggle in Missouri, it will
not be surprising if some of the Repub-
lican members show their indepenl-
ence in the manner referred to. thus
rebuking the methods by which it is
proposed to stife the real will of the
Republican party in that state.

Here is puzzle that puzzles every
body: Take the number of Your liv-
ing brothers, double the amount, add
to 1T three, multiply by five. add to it
the number of living sisters. multiply
the result by ten and add the number
of deaths of brothers and sisters and
substract $50 from the result. The
right nombcr will be the number of
deaths, the middle VIII he the number
of living sisters and the left will be
the number of living brothers. Try it

there is operating to the ruin of the

Dor market filled with NIongolians.
Those who hoped for revival Of in
dustry after the war have been dis
appointed and are clamorous in their

secured it's adoption and who are pow
erful enough to secure it's continuance.

The renegade Coombcs has been
beaten in France and his ministry has
had to resign, says the Irish American.
Some semblance of sanity seems to be
returning to Il portion at least of the
French people. The disgrace put on
the nation by the revelations of the
infamies of the spy system inaugurated
under the Coombcs regime, as part
of the religious prosecutions, will not
be effaced in this generation, but it is
to be hoped that the new ministry. see
ing the hopeless and criminal folly of
it's predecessors, may make an earnest
effort to undo some Of the mischief
and to rehabiitate France in the eyes
of the decent people all over the
world who have been shocked at the
events of the last two years.

One Of the most remarkable of the many
limitations the Japanese have placed upon
their poetry is that it must not treat of
war and bloOdshed. or, indeed. of any
ugly or revolving themes. Homer would
not have been listened to had he tried to
sing Achilles wrath" in Nippon, and
Dante could not have been born in the
Japanese air. Some forms, as the dodo-
itSH. are restricted to a single theme. and
others, as the hokkn and taukd. are lin
tied to the expression of a solitary senti-
ment or thought. But the new martial
spirit of Japan, and the desire and neces-
sity for fuller poetic expression, have
led to the development of longer poems.
