st. Petersburg imperial mani
festo and the ukases of March 8, which
incorporate in the Fundamental law Of
the empire the provisions for a ma
tional assembly in Russia, promised
In the manifesto last fall, are disap-
pointing in many respects. They con.
stitute neither constitution nor a
bill of rights" for the Russian peo-
pie. They do create popular assem-
bly,, but the promises granted to it are
so hedged about with restrictions and
conditions that it will be rather a pre-
sentiment in name than in fact Never
theless, by the terms of the manifesto
the emperor himself is powerless to
revoke what he has now given. This
constitutes the great victory which
the people have won. They at last
have an authoritative medium through
which they can make their voice heard
and it is In this assembly probably
that the great historical struggle
against prerogative and privilege will
be fought out.

MANNER OF HOLDING CLASS

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded as
an effectation of gentility, as found in
the manner of holding drinking glass
when drinking from it, is not an af-
fectation at all, but really an uncon-
5cious, automatic act
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fingers
of the hand clear of the glass when it
is lifted and tipped forward with it's
5rim to the lips and while the glass
is held there in the act of drinking
No doubt it would commonly be con
sidered that people do this for the
sake of greater elegance, or at least
from an instructive desire to give to
the hand such an appearance, which it
would not possess if they closed the
entire hand around the glass-if they
elutched it, so to speak, a manner of
holding that would seem to SAVIOR of
rudeness.
But this observer says that really
2eople hold those two fingers clear of
lie glass in drinking because that is
he way that is most convenient. If,
says, person should grasp the
lass with tie whole hand closed snug
y around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass so held re-

OLD EcyPT"s GOLD MINES

Prof r. ID. George of the University
of Colorado suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part of their
gold from the old workings near Cop
tos, latitude 2G degrees north, and
from the mountains some distance to
the south. The mountains to the south
of Coptos are probably the mines for
which the kings of the twelfth dynasty
sacrificed the lives OF many thousand
men; for the rule of Egyptian kings
who wanted gold was to invade Nubia
and take possession of the mines, lust
as when they wanted copper they
drove back the nomadc tribes of 81.
mai and built fortresses to protect their
miners. The Nubian gold workings of
which Prof, George speaks are placed
in an almost inaccessible mountain
group surrounded on all sides by a
waterless desert Here may be seen
tunnels and shafts penetrating the
mountains to almost unknown depths.

tom REED WAS DECEIVED

A number of years ago the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed told one of his early
law cases.
A neighbours boy was arrested for
stealing a tray of gold watches, and in
court pleaded not guilty. The only
witness for the prosecution was the
jeweler who lost the watches. His
story was that on the afternoon on
which the watches were stolen he was
fixing up his show window and had
removed from it the goods, the tray
of watches among them, to the coun-
ter near the door. While doing this
and dusting out the window, he testi-
fled, the boy stood on the sidewalk
watching him through the window. AS
it was dusk, he went into rear room
for match, and when he came back
the boy and about a dozen gold
watches were gone. He jumped
through the open door, but could see
no one on the street.

Scrivner is man of great energy

Gas EXPLOSION
IN COAL NINE
Terrible Accident at Small
Mining Town in West
Virginia.
Ten Bodies Have Been Recovered,
and 1t Is Believed That Between
Fifty and Seventy-fve Have
Lost Their Lives as Result
of the Accident.

Fairmont, w. Va-Ten men are
known to be dead, twenty injured
and from twenty-five to seventy-five
missing and believed to be dead as
the result of an explosion of gas In
the shaft of the Century Coal COM
pany at Century, small mining town.
The explosion took place at 4:30 in
the afternoon, but owing to the tele-
phone wires being put out of commits
sion by the high winds, details are
lacking and the names of the victims,
six Of wnom are known to be foreign.
ers, have not been secured.
The Century mine, which is owned
by Shaw Brothers of Baltimore, is one
OF the largest independent operations
in northern West Virginia. Over ESQ
men are employed daily in the shaft,
and had the explosion been an hour
earlier the loss of life would have
been appalling. AS 1t was, there were
but few remaining in the shaft, the
main body of the miners having quit
work for the day. The giant fan
which furnishes air for the shaft was
partially wrecked by the force of the
explosion, but was repaired imme-
diately and within an hour after the
accident Superintendent James Ward
had relief gang in the mine
The first trip out brought ten men
five dead and five badly burned.
They were found in the main heading
near the bottom of the shaft. The
living could give no details of the ex-
plosion, saying they were on their
way to the surface when the explosion
took place behind them.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
instructions For Repairing a Mirror
That Has Become Spotted,

Equal parts of the following for
mulas are used for the purpose of
repairing spotted mirrors: (A) dis
iolse sixty grains of nitrate of sill
'er in one ounce of water, and pour
the solution quickly into boiling
solution of forty-eight grains of
rochelle salts in one ounce of wa
ter. On cooling filter the liquid
and make up to twelve fluid ounces
with distilled water.
OBJ Dissolve sixty grains nitrate
of silver in one ounce of water, then
add ammonia until the precipitate
is nearly redissolyed. and then make
up to twelve fluid ounces, as in A.
To renovate the spotted glass
proceed as follows: Cut out the af-
fected part, first marking off
squarely with straightedge and
chisel, lay the glass fiat on its face
and apply the silvering compound.
Mix equal parts (A) and (B), pour
on the clear glass. allowing the So
luton to flow evenly over the bare
space. Distilled water should be
used and the solution kept in black
bottles. Absolute cleanliness is es-
sential to satisfactory work. .-Bos-
ton Traveller.
