The OUTLOOK.

The A new view has lately
Puppet been given of Nicholas
Car. II, Gar of Russia,
which does not do him very much
credit. He is described as being a
lump of putty in the hands of his
grand dukes and advisers and altogeth-
er man lacking in the noble qualities
of great ruler. This may account for
the fact that he is SO long delaying
before he seeks for peace with Japan.
For the events of the war go to show
that the prospect is that some day
Russia will be obliged to knuckle down
to little Japan. Russia needs just at
present strong hand and a wise head
in the seat of power, for if the nation
is to have internal commotion and
foreign war at the same time it will
have full hand. The picture of the
Gar as published in the April
McClure's is as follows: ''The prayers
Of the Gar have been the subject of
many jests. They are synonym for
futility and childish inadequacy. 1t
is Russia that takes upon herself to
use these words. l saw him once form
ally suppliant in the vast and splendid
Isaac cathedral, marching in front of
corps of bishops, and between two
lines of cuirassiers. A stiff, broidered
robe was over his shoulders, and from
where I stood I could see only that
and the back Of his head. There were
chants and anthems innumerable, but
presently, when choir and priests were
hushed, there came thin, treble pipe,
a staccato squeak like child's sup
pressed exclamation--the voice of the
Gar in prayer! He is the head of the
church in Russia, and perhaps OF all
his distinctions he prides himself most
on this. 1t is a vanity that has been
carefully fostered in him by M. Pobie-
donostseff, the procurator of the Holy
Synod, whom the accessibility of the
Gar ito flattery has made one Of the
great forces of Russian politics.
Little, scared, fooled. this is the Car.
Blind, Ineffective, and hysterical, this
is the ruler of the Russian Empire.
When cast Of his head, made for the
purpose of new coinage, was submit

better illustrated by another story,
which was given to me as true. An
official approached him with papers to
be signed, and found him lounging
drearily in his room. your Majesty

Thomas Queer is dead at Wooster,
Ohio. Queer lead very queer life.
He had been mourned as dead for
forty years before his actual demise.
He quarreled with his wife, Mrs.
Queer, fifty years ago and left home.
After he had been gone ten years
news of his death was received. Ten
years ago he returned and tried to
come to terms with Mrs. Queer but
failed. When Queer went away from
home he left Mrs. Queer with two
daughters who were also queer. He
refused to tell how Or where he spent
the fifty years of his absence and
there was something queer about his
life. Mrs Queer is still living at the
age of 81. What has become of the
Queer daughters is not stated. This
is a queer world and that was a
Queer lam 1y.

The fact that California reports
production of 5000, 900 pounds Of
prunes during tue p.tsL year offers
food for reflection as we'll as digestion.
One hundred and twenty-five mill
lion pounds of prunes! The quantity
is appalling. That is one pound of
prune for every person in the United
States and some 1000, 900 pounds
to scatter around IN Europe. Fur
thernore, there were enough prunes
produced by California in 1904 to
give several prunes to every inhabi-
tant of the globe ami still have few
over. Boar ling house frequenters
can be excused for shuddering at
such a stupendous output of prunes.
Cranks have been known to live all
together on prunes, under the delu-
sion that this fruit promotes the
SIMPLE life and longevity. What
! goes with California's 125,O00, 900
pounds of prunes is not hard to an
swer. They are eaten, and while the
prune is not universally popular, it
! dominates the dinner table to an ex-
! tent realized by few people.
