Ru.aia,s Cxarina.

Ruesia's CZarfna.
 If the Tzaritza is sadder, somewhat less sunny than of yore, one can par don her and understand it; It Is try ing position for young woman of two- and-twenty to feel that every eye is watching her slightest movement, with critical intent-especially for shy young woman. Some of my court friends who were received by her pri- vately, soon after her marriage, and therefore had a better opportunity to judge than at a general reception, wrote me: She is extremely shy. One can see that she does her best--but one has to help her in conversation. Surely such an attitude. joined to her youth, sweetness and helplessness, should have appealed to the chivalry of the men and the warm -heartedness of the women, as far more sympathetic than perfectly possessed, imperial air. No doubt it did; but people at a distance are apt to hear of-or to remember-only the harsh criticisms; and the Empress's lf-English extraction has, indubita- bly, initiated against her popularity with many Russians, because England and all that is hers is generally unpop- ular in Russia. Hence her shy reserve has often credited to English coldness, enmity and an over stern code of con- duct.-Isabel F. Hapgood, in Harpers Bazar.

 The author deals more klnoly wlen this Regent than most writers are wont to do. He puts words into his mouth that make him seem a different crea- ture from the man generally gwen us by historians. Because while they gen orally admit the Duke of Orleans 60 have been gifted with many different kinds of talents, they all seem to nave been rendered useless, perhaps as some- | one said. by an ill-natured fairy, who felt herself aggrieved by not being in- vited to preside at the birth when other | fairies made their endowment of gifts The narrative, though. is clever and
 well put together. The characters are

office IN regard to the new style Of
spelling receives marked attention from
the French press, largely because the
same sort of reform has been dragging
along here for the last five years. The
subject a great amount of thought, but
has taken no practical steps in the
direction of the desired reform. M.
de Beufront, president of the Esperento
society, who left this morning to at
tend the Geneva congress, says it is the
most typical performance in, recent
years. The directness and promptness
OF the president g. action calls for a
curious, outburst of general praise.
Such wholesome expedition is fairly be-
Wlldering to. the European mind. 49,.
The French see in the act the begin
ming of an attempt to supplant French
by English as the diplomatic language
thru the simplifcation of the features
which have made English so formidable
to foreigners. French philologists and
etymologists look with distrust on the
success of the revolution, "begun by
an executive governmental officer

Professor Sanford Talks.

"English can never be reduced to a
system of phonetic spelling,' said Pro-
fessor Maria Sanford of the rhetoric
department Of the state university.
"The diverse ways in which the same
letter is pronounced in different locali-
ties is complete bar to the establish
ment Of simplifed spelling as a pho
netic system. Partly from that reason
and partly because I am very old
fashioned woman and cling to the old
forms, I am not eager to take up the
new spelling. The old way looks more
familiar to me and for that reason
like it better.
"Not all of the simphacations are
real changes, however. The dropping
of the ~ in homeland kindred words
is well established. The use Of IT, for
ed as suffix to many words has long
been licensed in poetry, and I like its
adoption for prose as well. -
DR.. Jordan's Attitude.
DR.. G. NJ. Jordan, superintendent of
schools, says: "I am opposed to all
spelling. It's a lost art anyway, as
everybody knows. Seriously, however
the spelling reform movement is wor.
thy of attention. I have been actively
interested in the efforts of the Ma.
tional Educational association to place
spelling on a more logical basis. I have
not had the time to examine the list
Of revised words advocated by Presi
dent Roosevelt, but in a general way ]
am in sympathy with any rational
movement which will simplify spelling
of English words. ''- 80
