CATHERINE THE GREAT.
An odd Woman Was This Empress OF
the Russians.

the Russians.
\ recent writer says of Catherine
the Great, Empress of Russia from the
year 1862 to 1876:
She rose at 6 and lit her own fire.
Her table was ideally simple. FROM
the reproach OF overeating ana over
drinking she was free. Though She
could not sing note, she and Prince
Dashkon, who could sing no better, oc-
casionally performed In concert. A
sudden burst Of the most exalted and
ridiculous discordant tones was the
consequence, one seconding the other
with scientific shrugs and all the sol
emn, self compacent airs ana grim
aces of musicians. From this perhans
she passed to a cat concert and inll.
tated the purring Of cat in the most
droll and ludicrous manner. always
taking care to add appropriate. half
comic, half sentimental words, which
She invented for the occasion. or else
splitting like a cat in a passion with
her back up she suddenly boxed the
nrst person IN her way, making up her
hand into paw and mewing outrage
ousy."
While playing whist one night Cath
crime could not get her page to answer
the bell. After she had rung twice,
again without effect she left the room
looking daggers. and did not reappear
for a considerable time. The company
supposed that the unfortunate page
WAS destined to Siberia or at least the
knout. As a matter of fact, Catherine
on entering the antechamber found the
page, like his betters, busy at whist.
When the bell rang he happened to
have so interesting a han. that he
could not make up his mind 10 quit 1t.
Now. what did the empress do? She
dispatched the pase on her errand and
then quietly sat down TO hold his cards
until he should return"

are 1000 miles although the territory IS very
little larger and the population Is not as great by
one-third This gives fair idea of the dispropor.

close to the battleships until the latter

Coal thst is kept in dry and airy
