RUSSIAN PAPERS
Make No Editorial Comment on Thurs
days lncident-The Situation.

ST. petersburg, Jan. -0.-NOthing bet
ter illustrates the conditions in Russian
journalism than the appearance of the
st. Petersburg papers on the morning
after an occurrence which nearly added
another violent death TO the history of
the ruling family of Russia. There are
prominent headlines but almost no edi-
torial reference, and the most brief
mention possible OF the unexpected hail
of grape shot around the little chapel
i'll which the Empcro" ana the Roman
off family had gathered for the great
religious festival Of the Epiphany and
the blessing the waters of the Neva
The account of the ately ceremonial
prepared by the court marshal is long
and rich i'll detail. describing the ap-
pealanCe and garb OF the individual
participants and the progress of events
from minute to minute. Appended to
this court circular are short paragraphs
from various papers abiding in the
most guarded terms to the unexpected
danger in which His Majesty stood.
These add practically nothing to the
knowledge of the event. in spite of half
a days opportunity for Investigation
and inquiry.
The NovOe Vremya which publishes
the most extended account shows that
chief interest in the incident followed
the second and third shots, but offers
no explanation. The paper cditorializeS
briefly on the ineXcusa0la carelessnoss
of permitting so perilous happening
among the general Joy, the escape Of
His Majesty and the relief to strained
nerves. 1t concludes hy expressing the
hope that the miraculous escape Of the
Emperor from mortal danger While en-
gagged in the pious rites of the faith
may be an omen that Russia is under
Divine projections; that Providence is
watching over those VINO live by faith
and that she may emerge III equal safe
ty from. the perils IN Which she now
stands.
Other papers publish less regarding
the event, not even the names of the
officers commanding the battery or til"
artillery men t"ndi1g the guns are Civ
Ell. The reader is left largely to draw
his own conclusions as to the connec-
tion between the sound Of the salute
and the patter of the bullets about the
pavilion.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or Is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep. pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
