st. Petersburg. May 25.-The pes
simism over the outlook continues to
grow. The government. as usual in
every crisis. seems to be hesitating as
to which course to pursue.
Two plans for extricatlng the gov
eminent without meeting the direct
issue are suggested by the emperor's
moderate advisers. One is simply to
allow the lower house to talk until
the end of June, when the summer va
cation will be scheduled. The other
is to dissolve parliament and order
new election.
A correspondent talked with num-
Der of landlords from various parts of
the country, who declare that the peas
ants are frantically attached to parlla-
ment and that between the dictum of
the emperor and of parliament they
will obey the authority of the latter.
The revolutionary leaders and the pro-
letariat organizations of the cities
are sure to profit by the deadlock, and
a terroristic campaign is already in
full swing.

THE MAKING OF A JUROR.

The judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk
| and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques-
| tions and excuses it seemed as if they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by both
sides jumped up the judge was exasper-
ated.
Shudgei" cried the German
What is it?'' demanded the Judge

But, shudge." persisted the German,

German, Il don't speak good English"

The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.

RULES OF MARRIAGE.
Often a father with a number of
motherlesS children will select g.rl
for his manageable son, and the we'd
ding viii be rushed so as to bring a
woman into the house. The majority
of the Russian people are opposed to
divorces. They think it is an unpar-
donable sin to separate. A husband
may be worthless and even brutal, but
his wife considers it her duty to stay
with him. She seldom even informs
on him if he mistreats her. AS rule
the different classes marry in their
own circles, but occasionally some
member of the broken down. nobility
will we'd the daughter OF a rich trades
man for monetary considerations. The
average age for marriage is twenty
years, but weddings often occur when
the bride is no more than fourteen or
fifteen. Education tends to lengthen
the maria geable age, because it makes
the S1TlS less [.
The Russian housewife, like her sis
tiers of other races has many super
stitions. AS soon as she sees the new
moon she must quickly take in hand a
ccin or she will have no money for a
whole month. Friday and Monday are
considered unlucky days, the latter be-
ing especially tabooed for the start of
any undertaking. The godfather and
godmother of the same child can not
marry because the spiritual tie is con-
sidered more binding than blood rela-
ton.
Among the poor people the little girl
of six or seven takes the place of the
mother in the house, looking after her
younger brothers and sisters while the
mother works in the fields with the
men in summer, and spins or weaves

FEMALE RULERS OF RUSSIA.
AS monarchs and members of the
nobility Russian women have exerted
a great influence upon the history OF
their country. Sometimes their influ-
ence resulted in good, but often it had
an evil effect Catherine made the ia
nous treaty with Austria. Anna

Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the
Great. was a social favorite. She did

this generosity she was noted for her
religious intolerance. She banished the

unique cruelties she had devised. She

Catherine II. was a good admins
traitor but the peasants suffered much
from the injustice and inhumanity Of
her DEGREES. She was the first TO in
trOduce serfdom into Russia She de-
MED the right of the serfs to complain
against their masters, and provided
dreadful punishments for poor agri-
culturists who gave offense. Although
she had no sympathy for the lower
classes, and did much to increase their
fardships. she was intensely patriotic |
and did many things to prove her fl |
deity to the country. When vaccina- |
ton was introduced she was the first |
to offer herself to the surgeons knife. |
Believing it to be for the best inter
asts of her people she abandoned the |
protestant faith. A suggestion of her
eccentric character is given in the in
stance when she commanded her ply
sician to bleed her of every drop of
German blood in her veins.
