GEAR MADE A COCKTAIL.
Yankee Doctor Taught Him the Trick
 and He Was an Apt Pupil.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 "The present Czar of Russia learned the art of making an American cock tail from an American physician" said man in an uptown saloon, where he was slipping the old-fashioned tipple. T have that from the physician himself"
 Not only that, but l slipped cock tall made from the same formula, out of handsomely carved cup which bore an inscription from the donor,s who at the time was Czarevitch. and which had contained the stirrup cup drunk at the last meeting between the Russian heir apparent and the American doctor.
 "rhe doctor was a few years ago prac- ticing in city in Western New York. He was once an attache of the Russian court and had some appointment, l have forgotten what later on.
 "One evening when he had been called to see the Czarevitch the talk ran to American drinks. The new doctor car ried his own stock of American liquors. He spoke of the American cocktail, which, at that time, was the most called for mixed drink at the bar.
 ''The Czarevitch was amused at the name. He thought 1t was joke. The Yankee doctor assured him of the con- trary.
 "The Czeravitch said he would like to try the drink. The doctor brought in his ingredients and prepared a cocktail in the presence of the Gzarevitch, who was In tentiy Interested When he had tasted it he went into ecstacies and called for more
 After he had sampled several cocktails he proposed to make the mixture him self, and learned with much more ease than he has learned some other things since
 When the American doctor was leav- ing St. Petersburg the Czarevitch had ascended the throne. The physician asked leave to pay his respects. and was ac- corded an audience.
 'The Emperor reminded him that he was an expert in mixing the American tippfe. and thereupon they repaired to a private room where the Czar of all the Russias produced some American whisky and the ingredients necessary to work out cocktail. The Czar mixed drinks for the two like a regular bar keep and enjoyed it.
 "The Czar assured the doctor that 1t was the greatest bracer he ever took But then you know. royalty lays on its praise and compliments with a trowel However. the doctor was probably the only American who ever had the ruler of Russia mix and give him a cocktail"

Woman of the Future.

'.For the woman of the future there will be no woman's club, no woman's page in the paper no womans sphere. For the woman of the future will hold the great questions of the world in common inter est with the man of the future. The mans questions will be the womans ques- tions and the problems of this world will be womans problems as well as mans and the problems of both will be in the largest sense the same That was the prediction of the Rev Marie Jenny Howe. She is the wife of Fred c. Howe, leader of the democrats in the Ohio legislature. For six years before her marriage she was the pastor of the First Unitarian church of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Howe talked entertainingly with Cincinnati Times-Star reporter at the home of MT. and Mrs. Fenton Lawson on Madison road, where she and her husband are guests, on the woman of the future.

Eniarams on Woman.

r. Emil Reich in recent London lec- ture said:
 Nations dffer in nothing more than in their women.
 You will never know what woman is unless you suffer very much.
 Women do not love Napoleons; they love mere middle-class mediocrities.
 Men who want to found empires do not want the higher development of wo- man.
 You will in vain search history for a great man who has not been influenced by a great woman.
 Tn America the woman governs the man absolutely. In a certain sense the last man that came to America was Chris topher Columbus.

the Sketch. London.

From the Sketch, London.
 The superhuman activity of the kaiser is well known. He looks after the music. the painting, the literature. and the nor als of Germany; but that is only his di- version, for above all that he is the Ger man emperor. As kaiser his work falls under three heads-foreign affairs, home affairs. and the army and navy. The de- partment which gives him most work is that for foreign affairs, for last year he read 1867 dispatches from abroad and 34 telegrams, and gave a personal decision in 91S cases. He never signs any dispatch without reading it. and generally blue pencils his remarks in the margin. In this way many state paper has been rem dered useless, and it is calculated that since the beginning of his reign he has signed at least 3i 900 documents. He also has a great number of verbal reports made to him. and 1t is probably this over work that renders him so nervous on occasions, and leads him to, speak out things that he had better have confined to his thoughts or to his confidential cor respondence.

Now the Chained Butterfly.

There's new variant of the fad of wearing insects instead of gems, and Mrs. John w. Mackay's granddaughter, Donna Blanca Colonna. set 1t going at Mrs. Mackays opening reception in her house in Paris this winter. The young woman's costume caused something like a sensation even in the city of light, which affects to be too blase to be stirred by anything. In her hair was a spray of morning glories. to which in some mysterious fashion a big butterfly was fastened. the little creature fitting from flower to flower apparently with perfect ease. Her gown was of white crape made in a classically simple style. and she car ried a bunch of morning glories care- lessly but artistically arranged. Butter flies tuttered among these blooms also. and everyone wondered where the butter flies were found at this chill season Also all wondered how 1t was done
