Grand Duchess Elizabeth is second of
four daughters of Grand Duke Louis ~
of Hesse. who married the Princess Alice,
the favorite child of Queen Victoria OF
England.
The third daughter married Prince Hen
ry of Prussia. the kaisers only brother.
and the fourth had the misfortune to
marry the present degenerate car 1t
was from this last marriage. indirectly,
that the grand duchess troubles began.
Some eleven years before her sister be-
came czarina she had welded the Grand
Duke Serge Alexandrovitch. brother OF
the Car Alexander III and uncle of
Nicholas IL. The marriage was an UNI
happy one. Serge had more brains than
his nephew, but even less character. In
like Nicholas II. he was actively wicked
and given to such notorious vices that
he was expelled from st. Petersburg and
for years kept as governor general over
the unfortunate people of Moscow.
Serge's rule at Moscow meant unbroken
despotism, brutality and theft. The
grand duke encouraged the excuses of
the police, domineered in way which
made him the most hated man in Russia,
and did not scruple to fill his pockets
with money subscribed for sick soldiers.
What made him hated In still wider cir
cles was his use of his influence over
Nicholas i'm order to prolong the misrule
which finally led to the revolutionary
outbreak of 1905.

Like most people who take to religion
only when all worldly comforts have fail
ed them, the grand duchess cherishes her
faith with an almost abnormal intensity.
The most worldly woman in Russia has
suddenly become the most unworldly. 1t
is that which is giving people here cause

Church is all the more striking because

Reptiles That Walk Erect.

Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian wafer lizard, which is three
or four feet in length. keeps quite
erect when traversing long distances
on land 1t is found in the neighbour
hood of river banks and passes much
of it's time in shallow water.
The frilled lizard Of Queensland also
travels on it's hind legs on level ground.
keeping the frill folded when running.
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin. which stands out like a ruff at
right angles round the neck, giving it
a most formidable aspect, so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay.
There is also tree lizard in Austria
liza that moves in similar way. All
these species walk on all tours when
merely moving about or going short
distances.

The Shirt of Liberty,

It was in the town that modern de-
mocracy had it's rise. Despite all the
efforts of the kings and barons to pre-
vent it, the spirit Of liberty began to
assert itself in the larger towns in the
shape Of the charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political rights-rights which. once OBJ
tanned. were never to be surrendered.
Before the middle Of the eleventh cen
fury there were many of these ''char
tered" towns which possessed the
right Of electing their own magis-
trates, sheriffs and judges and regulat-
ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs
from the country were welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known in Spain. from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would fee to
them from the feudal estates. and thus
slowly, but surely. the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.-Arena.

The lion is the king of beasts. but
all or his magnificent strength and
feroc1ty would avail him nothing when
he faced mere ant. But this ant is
not the usual kind which peacefully
goes about it's domestic duties day by
day. It is the terrible driver or soldier
ant. said to be the most invincible
creature in the world. Against these
tiny enemies no man or band of men,
no lion or tiger. not even herd Of
elephants. can do anything but hur-
riedly get out of the way. Among the
Barotse natives favorite form of cap
1tal punishment is to coat the victim
with grease and throw him before the
advancing army of soldier ants. The
qu1ckness with which the poor wretch
is dispatched is marvellous when it is
considered that each ant can do moth
ing more than merely tear out small
particle Of flesh and carry it Off Yet
in surprisingly short time the with.
ing victim will have been changed into
a skeleton.

Saving limo or Time Tables.

To mos, people. especially when they
are on the road. time is money, but
time tables are not convertible into
cash. In the pages Of Through Say
age Europe" Harry De Windt gives a
curious and amusing experience on a
Russian railway some years ago. The
patience OF the Russians is in marked
contrast with the impatience Of Amer
lean travellers. All Russians have a
rooted antipathy to fast railway travel.
If one may judge from an incident
which occurred some years ago when
l was travelling across the Caucasus
from Ratoum to Raku. We had
reached tunnel. at the entrance Of
which the train waited for at least
twenty minutes.

Floral Etvmolouv,

"Prmrose" is one of those words
that have shown popular association
to be stronger than etymology. 1t has
no real connection with the rose. but
is the old French ''primerole' and.
anyhow. means only the ''prime'' or
first flower (more or less) of the year.
Our language has insisted upon max
ing ''roses" of all sorts Of flowers.
We have the tuberose. which is only
''tuberosa.' tuberous, and the rose
mary, which is "rosmarinus." dew of
the sea- On the other hand the rose
has been dropped readily enough in
cases where popular fancy could not
see the flower. The alchemists called
green vitriol rose of copper" ''cupri-
rosa" In French this became coupe
rose" but English wore it down to the
pointless "copperas." --London Chron-

Form of Divorce In Old Rome.

In the earlier period Of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time Of
the Sultan wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sepa
rate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth, priest and
priestess being present. AS on the day
of marriage. a cake of wheaton -four
was presented to the husband and
wife. but instead Of sharing it be-
tween them they rejected it. Then. in
stead of prayers. they pronounced
formulas of strange. severe, spiteful
character. by which the wife renounc-
ed the worship and gods of the hus-
band. From that moment the religious
bond was broken. and. the community
of worship having ceased to exist. the
marriage without further ado was for
ever dissolved.-New York American.
