st. Petersburg, March 16.--Out Of the
violent anti Semitic agitation of the
Reactionists, which enabled Premier
Witte and the Liberal section Of the
cabinet to force Interior Minister Dur
noyo to issue instrnctionus to the pro-
vincial authorities to prevent massacres
and prosecute the persons guilty of in
stigating them, may come unexpected
good to the members of the oppressed
race. The entire Jewish question has
been raised in acute form and may be
settled forthwith.
The emperor il said to be amazed AT
the revelations made by the Jewish de-
putation which the premier received in
audience March z, and to have informed
Count Witte that it was urgently neces-
sary to settle the question Immediately.
Count White, who has steadily support
ed the plea for equal rights for the Jews,
but who heretofore had commended that
it was a matter for the National Assem-
bly, TO settle, is understood to have
talked quite bluntly to his majesty re-
garding the innumerable difficulties
which his opponents were raising on
this and other questions, and he is
said to have gone to the extent Of re-
guessing permission to resign the pre-.
miership.
Nicholas, it is added, would not listen
to this, insisting that Count White re-
main in Office, and at the same time in
structing him to prepare project pro-
viding for the equality of the Jews for
presentation to the National Assembly.
Such a bill, according to the Jews equal.
ity except in eligibility to positions in
the official and military services, is now
said 10 have been prepared.

Baron Gunsburg, however, knowing the
hostility 10 large class Of Russians
to the Jews, and fearing an adverse de-
cision, which would only further pre-
udiee hte position OF their co-religionists,
are opposed to the submission of the
question 10 the Assembly. They main
tain that the manifesto of Oct 30 spec
ifcally declared that all subjects we're
equal before the law, that the question
is de iure already settled, and that it
is the duty OF the government to inn
mediately promulgate q law providing

exercise of full rights.
The efforts of section Of the Social
Democrats and radical elements TO pro-

Unconscious Beauty


LOrIginalI
There was once a king whose queen
had been soivain OF her beauty that he
directed that their only child, daugh.
ter should be kept from seeing her own
features as long as possible. The queen
died when the little princess, Henrietta
was an infant, and the king placed the
child in one of his palaces, where she
was brought up In charge Of her aunt
the Duchess Margaret Not a mirror
was permitted in the palace, and the
king ordered the water In the artificial
lakes and basins with which the SPA.
cious grounds abounded to be drawn
off, for fear the princess should catch
the reflection Of her face. From time
to time the duchess was required te
make reports to the king concerning hei
charge
The princess is growing to be very
beautiful" the duchess reported when
Henrietta was sixteen years old, "and
is absolutely unconscious Of her
charms"
Tell her" replied the king, "that she
Is yery homely."
The order was obeyed. The princess
who up to this point had not thought OF
her own appearance, was seized with a
desire TO see what she looked like, and
the duchess was obliged TO double the
distractions she Ind thrown in the
way Of her doing so, but in time Hen
rietta began to consider that the sight
Of her ugliness would only distress her,
and she made vow never to see d re-
Election of her face.
When she was twenty her father
died suddenly, and she became queen
Those near her at once broke the Sc
cret Of her beauty to her, but she
would not believe them. Now that
] am queen you are all disposed to
fatter me-" she said, "and, though ]
be uglier than Medusa, you would
make me believe l am beautiful as
Venus" Her first edict was that any
one being instrumental in showing her
her features should at once be behead
ed.
Many neighboring princes proposed
for the hand of the queen, but she. be-
llevlng in her ugliness feared tina,
when they came to see her they would
be shocked, and she would listen to
none Of them.
Now, Queen Henrietta, having ne
strong minister to assist her in gov
ernlng or to foil her enemies, soon be.
came prey to coalition OF kings
who formed an alliance to invade her
kingdom, conquer it and divide ii
among them. The queen did the best
she could to stem the tide that set in
against her, but, having no general on
whom she could rely, her forces were
beaten, and there was every prospect
that her kingdom would soon belong
to her coyetous neighbors. For some
time a young officer, Theodorus, had
been rising through merit alone from

Orange. y. j., March 14.--Robert f.
Foster, j., Of Newton, Sussex county,
has, it Is reported here. succeeded in cul.
tivating breed of chickens which pro-

Of White Leghorn hen. 1t is normal

that on the smaller end there is contin-

half an inch at its base, tapering for
nearly two inches and ending in two

it has resemblance to the handle of

seven eggs Of similar conformation, each

Several weeks ago, while breaking an

The hen were nightly sung to sleep TO
