1t. Petersburg. The handsome
sturdy little fellow who will one day
be cxar of all the Russias. has not
yet apparently entered upon the more
serious side Of his educational career.
and at present he and the other i'm
perial children lead as much as pos

wholesome exercise.
It has long been the custom with
the Russian court that the early years

The precocious sayings and doings
OF the little prince, now nearly five
years old, have been a constant source
Of merriment to his elder sisters,

high.spirited children.
Miss M. Eager, who for some time
was in charge Of the imperial nursery,
once told delightful anecdote of the
two older daughters of the car, the
grand duchesses Olga and Tatiana, at
the time when their education began
in earnest
They usually iunched with their
parents. but were told that when they
were unruly and not polite to their
tutor they would have to lunch in
the nursery.
"For a while things went smoothly,
but one day Olga was naughty, and
got bad mark. She turned to her
master and said humbly: I am
truly sorry gave you SO much
trouble Then she shook hands with
him and turned to the door, trying
unnecessarily to prevent herself from
crying.

charmins one-PIeee Froek, or Slip,
Designed for the Small Pet o.
the Household.

A charming slip for baby that is
In every sense of the word a one
piece frock" is made after an admir-
able pattern. The little garment is
cut out from one piece of material, a
round hole cut out for the neck and
an opening down the back for four
or i've inches to allow the slip to 60
over the baby's head.
There are two seams; from the
hem Of the frock to the wrist Of the
sleeve, one on each side.
This pattern may be used for any
material. A slip of finest white main
sock was made after this model.
Around the neck was narrow band
Of hand embroidery-a spray Of for
set-me-nots and tiny leaves in fine
white mercerized thread - brier-
stitched to the frock. The sleeves
were trimmed in the same manner at
the wrist and both neck and sleeves
were finished with frill of fine, mar
row lace.
A panel was outlined both back and
front by a scroll design of forget
me-nots and French knots running
from the hem in front over the shout
ders to the hem in back.
A three-inch hem brier-stitched
finished the slip and it was fastened
down the back with tiny pearl ball
buttons.
A cap was made to be worn with
this slip and 1t was of fine white lawn
embroidered all around the edge with
. scroll Of tiny forget-me-nots and the
same blossoms were scattered all over
the entire surface. The edge was
scalloped and buttonholed and finished
with a frill of lace gathered to the
fnder side of the bonnet This made
q soft frame for the baby face.
A lining Of thin forget-me-not blue
silk and one of shell pink came with
the bonnet and two sets Of huge
rossttes Of soft satin ribbon, one of
blue and one Of shell pink. The
rosettes were fastened to the bonnet
over each ear and a single Spiece Of
ribbon went under the chin and
fastened under rosette with tiny
gold safety pin.

the end Of each strip Of cloth, small
bell is sewn, similar to the bells SO
often seen upon a cats collar, and
obtainable at almost any toy shop.
Should the cloth selected prove too
limp to make the bells stand out in
the way shown in the sketch. then
thin wire can be sewn in between the
two pieces of cloth. and they can then
be bent into any shape required.

Buchner in his Psychic Life OF
Animals speaks of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working. attack well
stocked hives in masses, kill the SEN
tinels and the inhabitants. rob the
hives and carry off the provisions.
After repeated enterprises Of this de-
scription they acquire taste for rob-
berry and violence. They recruit whole
companies, which get more and more
numerous. and finally they form reg
ular colonies of brigand bees. But 1t
is still more curious fact that these
brigand bees can be produced arti-
Hcially by giving working bees mix
ture of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage. which has the same disas-
trous effect upon them as upon men.
They become i'll disposed and irritable
and lose all desire for work, and final
ly, when they begin to feel hungry.

He might write: "Wainwood's men

arm up. He felt the doors of his brain
burst and Wainwood swift rushing

Meredith. in other words. would
speak queerly because he was describ-

Browning might simply be describing
