Children of the Czar

From Current Literature CDecember)-
 No children anywhere dwell amid perils so deadly as those confronting the four daughters and the solitary son of Nicho-
 las H.-perils due less to the plots of ter rorists, say the gossips. than to the ma chinations of the Czars' own relatives. Were the first Czar Nicholas in the seat of the present Czar Nicholas, affirms a writer in London Truth, he would kill all the grand dukes and declare his daugh- ters heirs presumptive to the throne, com- ing next to his son. The key to the whole dilemma of rearing the five children arises from the fact that if the czar yields too much to the people he rules, he will be poisoned. If, on the other hand, his masjesty does not grant an occa- sional popular demand, he knows that the four little grand duchesses will be blown up with their tiny brother "The grand dukes seem to be up the sleeve of the conservatives and of all who have a vested interest in abuses" The regiments of the palace guard take orders not from his majesty but from pair of the more notoriously reaetionary grand dukes. Were the czar poisoned, our observer adds, the czars widow would be bent up in the fortress of Schlusselburg while a react1onary grand duke became regent
 The waking anxiety of the czarina, &C., cording to our British contemporary, has reference to the poisoning of her children How can she prevent it? The problem presents difficulties not unlike that of the peasant mother who must prevent her children from being starved. The palace kitchens of the Russian autocrat have long been notorious for their filth The czar's table is farmed out at the rate of 10 roubles a plate, the result being that every dish must bring its proportion of revenue to some bold functionary or other Efforts to institute reforms are foiled by the grandducal clique. Even the watch dogs imported from Belgium as pups, with trainers, to guard the chill dren of the autocrats, afford a basis for peculation There is in a word no real control of domestic affairs by the royal family of Russia in anything concerning it's personal existence. The consequent terrorism is so extreme that the czarina has been implored to seek quiet outside her husbands dominions among her Ger man relatives. Tn grandducal clique at once insisted that she depart without her children if she depart at all. That ulti- matum made the czarina a prisoner with her husband and children. Their move ments are spied upon night and day.

Tramp Life as a Classic

From the Rochester (N. Y) Post-Ex-
 press.
 Being a tramp is not such a hard life if you choose your country with care The state of New York, in winter is no place for a self-respecting tramp He were wiser to work his passage over to Italy during the summer and spend the cold months in the land of Dante and Petrarch. Here he can improve his mind for nothing and be inexpensively indulgent to his stomach. Of course he must avoid the mountains.
 In summer Italy is the tramps' para disc. The rights of the wayfarer are thought of by the community. Many towns and villages have their road side dormitories, where the weary hobo can dispose himself to quiet slumber with no fear of interfering "cop." The fig trees provide food; wine Is incredi- bly cheap and the people are friendly. Was it not "Noll" Goldsmith who tramped through Italy with his fiddle and enjoyed himself as never before? So long as he could play a tune for the people to dance by, he was sure of a meal. Moreover, picturesque rag

same time and after having your hands in water be sure you rinse them under the cold water tap and get them thoroughly dry before you put on the house maids gloves and tackle any other kind of work. The cold water will harden the pores of the skin and pre- vent the dirt from entering. After you have had your hands in water for some time it is an excellent plan to rub a little honey and lemon juice into them Keep a little jar of this mixture al ways at hand. Use two tablespoonfuls of honey to one of lemon juice. If the honey be granulated and stiff, stand it in warm, but not hot, oven for half an hour to degranulate it. Rub in just little and keep on rubbing until it has soaked in. It only takes a very few minutes and the effect is we'll worth the time expended.
 Every night and when you dress for lunch and dinner bathe your hands with little of this mixture: Four parts of hydrate of chloral. five parts of tinc- ture of wild poppy, and 500 parts of almond cream. For softening the hands there Is nothing better than lanoline spread on thickly before putting on a pair of old chamois leather gloves.
 Lanoline as usually bought in tubes is rather an expensive luxury if you are going to use as much of 1t as you should. Ask your chemist to order you pound tin of unprepared lanoline. It is not, of course, scented. and, in- deed, has rather a disagreeable odor. but it costs about a quarter of the price of the prepared cream and Is every bit as efficacious.
 And now I am going to tell you of little discovery that I made all by my self, and quite accidentally. If your hands have got into a really bad state, and you find them rough and with dirty streaks in the lines of the first finger, buy tin of ordinary dublin the kind used for boots and saddles and rub it well into your hands. Leave it on for quarter of an hour, and then wash them, first in hot oat- meal water and soap and then in tepid water, and you will find them most Beautifully soft and clean. Such treat ment once a week will do wonders.

Norway Has a New "Ibsen'


 Ivan Norsdy in the Baltimore American.
 Knut Hamsun, the latest of European literary sensations, is an extremely in- teresting figure among the Scandinavian creations revolve chiefly about abnormal writers. Like Ibsen and Strndberg, his sex problems. But in his style and method of treatment he follows more the Russian school of fiction than the Norwegian.
 "Ibsen was concerned with sentimental love affairs of the rich middle class Strindbergs best pieces are those deal ing with matrimonial degeneracy, but feel best at home in handling the TO- mantle subjects of eccentric dreamers and intellectual vagabonds," Knutt Ham sun confessed of himself. Love is the oldest, the strongest and the most vital of human problems, therefore it is always the most attractive and interesting sub jects, and always new"
 Knut Hamsun, like Kerld and Strind- berg Is a sentimental, eccentric and ad- venturous dreamer in his own private life. A man without any systematic education and social refinement, he himself Is the prototype of a literary study. His own life Is the drama of an international char acter. In this tall, clumsy and bony Norse- man Is to be found the hero of novel superior to any of those he has written. He is real type himself Similar to the heroes and heroines of his fiction, he hlm- Sei1 IS an aDnO1Iildl ldtdllSt anu poetiS pessimist. Tolstoy is his example of a heretic in life.
 Love for Knut Hamsun Is the founda- tion for everything.
 Sometimes it is a fairy like poetry without any form rule, but at other times it is a conventional greenhouse plant, although occasionally 1t is noth- ing but the blind craving of a maniac But here and there you will find the au- thor prepossessed with unbalanced emo tionalism and outbursts of poetic gloom, something that breathes of agony and death. But like Goethe, he feels himself slave of womans fascination, to With stand which he thinks a crime, and ex- claims with the German poet:
 "The eternal feminine leads us onward, and we must follow the call blindly. Wom- an is the goddess of beauty and heart. Man the god of power and head" To reach his secluded residence at Sul- lien one has to travel on the railway over 12 hours from Christiania to the depot of Rore whence one will have to travel still 50 miles on foot or by carriage. And If you reach his primitive cottage you will not meet a hospitable literary man, but a of Norway, who has decided never to see degenerate civilization again.
 Half of the time he works here physic- ally as a farmer and hunter. The other half is devoted to literary notions and philosophic discussions with his young, attractive wife, whom he married after being divorced by the first. It seems as if the man before you is a fugitive for some crime, of which his morose temper and suspicious hospitality gives the best picture.

Suggestion and Suicide

From the Journal of the American
 Medical Association.
 That the suggestive effect of reading details of suicides is powerful factor in the causation of suicide among sus- ceptible persons is recognized The suggestion is more likely to have infiu- ence when in the account of the sul- eide some poisonous article commonly found in households, such as phenol. LysoI and Rough on Rats, is named as the agent employed by the suicide. In New South Wales newspapers have been asked by the pharmaceutical board not to publish the names of poisons used by suicides. In several instances lead ing newspapers have needed tbis re- quest, particularly in connection with Lysol poisoning cases, which are nu- merous in all the states of the com monwealth. The American Medical as- sociatfon, in 1910, adopted resolutions to the effect that the publics ton of details of suicides in newspapers is one of the potent causes of other suicides through suggestion, and 1t was recom- mended to the public press that the details of suicides be omitted from publication. While it is the consensus of opinion that the publication of de- tails of suicides does promote further similar acts, the newspapers assert that 1t is their duty to publish the news. In adopting this attitude the rewspa- pers are assuming a serious responsi- bility definite and strong express ion of public opinion against this prac- tice would no doubt have better effect even than legal enactments.

 of women who. while putting on ; les as a matter of course if the work

Ellis, that the American people have given their police. Our legislators have failed to make a distinction be- tween vice and crime. "The virility of our morals Is not proved by any weak attempt to call in the aid of the secu- lar arm of law" We Americans, more than any other people. according to Dr. Ellis, have believed that morality was a matter of police regulation. We have not realized that immortality cannot be encountered by physical force. We have never learned that "the police can never become the agents of any morali- ty of the heart" or that "all the re- pression in the world can only touch the surface of life
