So many are his stately pleasure
houses that some are less known to
him than to the stranger who is per.
mitted to explore them with eyes of
wonder. There are, it is said, hun.
dreds of rooms into which his august
feet have never entered, and there are
countless treasures of art which he
would not recognize az his own.
Nor can we wonder that this should
be so when we consider that in and
around st. Petersburg alone there are
a dozen imperial houses, one of which
is large enough to give luxurious lodg.
ing to many thousands of guests; and
that the Kremlin at Moscow is a small
"city of palaces" to find parallel to
Windsor castle, buckingham palace
and the Tower of London inclosed
with the same wall.
The Winter palace, which stretches
it's long imposing front on the bank
Of the Neva at st. Petersburg, fronted
and supported by massive columns
and crowned through all it's length by
beautiful statuary, has alone more than
ample accommodation for every
branch of the imperial family (forty
in number and lowered with estates
100000 acres larger than Scotland) :,
with their armies of servants and at.
tendants. And the interior of this
vast pile is even more impressive than
It's dimensions.
The chief glory of Peterhof, few
miles from ST. Petersburg, are the glo-
rious gardens with fountains that
rival, if they do not eclipse, those at
Versailles. In the park of Tsarkoe.
Selo stands the Alexander Schloss, a
smaller palace, but crowded from
basement to ceiling with articles of
bijouterie, gathered from all the cor
ners of the earth, with paintings by
the greatest artists of Russia, and a
singularly fine collection of models
chiefly military. This palace has seen
the grading of more than one of the
children of the present car.
When Nicholas wishes to escape
still more from the world of pomp and
ceremonial, he finds an ideal refuge in
his castle at Spala, in Russian Poland,
hidden away in the heart of a vast for
est. This has been a favorite retreat
of many czar; for here, if anywhere,
it is possible to shake off the burden
of state and to lead the simple life OF
a country gentleman, with the best of
sport to make the days pass pleasant
ly. Here, as at Livadia, a charming
country home among stha Crimean
vineyards. the emperor and empress
have spent many of their happiest
hours together, renewing the days of
their wooing in England amid the
peaceful scenery of the Thames. Here,
padding in little wherries, pulling up
backwaters, the future ruler of hun.
dred and more millions humbly
pressed his suit. He was so happy and
lcontented in this rustic retreat that
he rejected all offers to amuse him.

London.--It is only fitting that a
sovereign who rules a territory 70
times as large as the British isles,
whose annual revenue is counted in
millions, and whose splendor and
power are so great that in the simple
minds of his moujik subjects he is "a
cousin of God himself" should have
palaces In plenty to house his magnif-
cence. And the autocrat of all the Rus
sias, if he were much more exacting
than he is, could scarcely resist a
feeling of pride as he contemplates
the number of palaces in his name,
each of which is full of treasures such
as Croesus himself might envy, re-

RAN FIRST PULLMAN
OLD CONDUCTOR TELLS OF
EPocH-MAKING EVENT.
Cars Were Crude. and There Was Ne
General Enthusiasm Over the New
Mode Of TraveI-None Saw
Its Possibilities.

F1fty-six years ago last month ].
L. Barnes OF Chanute, Kan, a
conductor on the first Pullman car
ever run in this country. He made
the trip between Bloomington, H.,
and Chicago on the night OF Septem-
Der l, 1857, and one of his passengers
was George NJ. Pullman, inventor of
the sleeping car. Looking back
through Sc years, Mr. Barnes recalled
that Mr.. Pullman arose on the morn
ing of September with rather tired
feeling and somewhat doubtful as to
the ultimate success of his invention.
Three other passengers who slept
that night in the first crude sleeper re-
strained any inclination they might
have felt to tender Mr.. Pullman an
ovation. In fact, II was rather a
weary company when it reached Chi
cago, and after a conference 1t was
decided by the passengers that nothing
would be gained by presenting Mr..
Pullman with a gold-headed cane In
recognition of his marvellous ingenu-
ity.
Mr.. Barnes is seventy-eight years
old and it probably would be unfair
to visit him with the punishment to
which he is clearly entitled. but he
told how he stood idly by and per
mitted the first Pullman porter in
history to maltreat passenger with
whisk broom and collect the original
Pullman tip He was a husky lad OF
| twenty-five summers at that time and
his muscles were in good state OF
preservation, but he did not interfere
All, wasted youth
The first Pullman car in America
was run over the c. G. A. railroad ant
was built in the shops of the company
in Bloomington, ILL.,, under the direc
ton of Mr.. Pullman himself. The
car was a remedeled day coach, anC
there were but four compartments
eight berths, four upper and four low
er. Then, as now, the lower berth en-
joyed a monopoly of public populari
ty, and the upper berths were vacant
on that first memorable night. AL
the passengers were from Blooming
ton and there were no women on the

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

It is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in teal
There are five children in my fam.
ilyp writes an Iowa mother, "all OF
whom drank coffee from infancy UP
to two years ago.
"My husband and had heart troubls
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble,
Caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing)
"Our eleven-year-old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked 1t and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes It,"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage

THRONE GOAL OF RUSSIAN PRINCESS?

Is the priuce of Wales, heir to the
throne of the British empire, the goal
at which Grand Duchess Tatiana, the
sixteen-year-old daughter of the Rus
sian Gear, is aiming in the race for a
husband in which she is said to be
competing with her sister, Grand
Duchess Olga, two years her senior?
The young people are second cous-
ms, but are said to be much fascinat.
ed with each other and to be alto
gether willing that speedy announce
ment of their betrothal be made.
King George and Queen Mary of Eng
land have announced they will visit
Russia at Easter time, and it is ex-
pected that official cognizance may be
given the love match at that time.
The young prince of Wales saw
much of Grand Duchess Tatiana, who
is said to be one of the most beauti-
full children OF royal parents in Eu-
rope, when she and her sister accom-.
panied their mother to England on a
visit. He had eyes only for Tatiana,

Poets License.

Robert W. Chambers, the popular
novelist, was talking about a New
York poet.
His poetry is always awkward Mr..
Chambers said. "He drags in words
that you can see are there solely for
the sake of rhyme. In fact, he reminds
me of Lake Sunapee epitaph.
In a little churchyard overlooking
Lake Sunapee a gray, messy stone
bears this inscription:
LAS sinks the sun with heightened
shadows,
So sank and died the good George
Meadows
ON. B.-Deceased's name was
Fields, but Meadows is substituted for
the sake of the rhyme"

SIeepinu Cow Caused WRECK

A sleeping COW caused the derail.
ment of a passenger train on the
line between Newport and Cowes,
England, few days ago. On round.
ing a curve the driver of the train
saw the COW lying between the rails.
Before he could pull up the first part
of the train had passed over the COW.
Then came a large DOGGY carriage
with less space between it and the
rails. 1t rocked from side to side,
then ran off the line and ploughed up
the permanent way for two or three
hundred yards before the train came
to standstill.

HIS SERMON AROUSES INTEREST

At the church congress the other
day the bishop of London preached a
sermon which has aroused very ex-
traordinary interest. In the course of
this, he said: Il would ask you to
turn your eyes from this world to
another; to look up from the heat
and struggle of the stadium to those
tiers after tiers of spectators who
look down upon the conflict which
they once knew so we'll. There they
are in their million and tens Of mil
lion. During my visit to Russia, when
had long conversation through an
Interpreter with the authorities of the
Russian church. nothing seemed to
strike them more forcibly than the
little connection which we seemed in
our church to have with that multi
tude. They ended by saying: Sure
ny, bishop, yours is very unloving
doctrine: we love our dear ones in
the other world; they are close to us:
our boys speak to their mothers in
paradise as if they were in the same

WANTS GOOD ROADS FOR FARMERS

So much Roadway has been made
by the good roads movement that the
main question now seems to be mere
ly whether the federal government
shall help provide business roads" or
touring roads" 1t is evident from a
speech delivered by Congressman Dor
sey w Shackleford of Missouri, chair
man of the house committee on public
roads, at the third annual American
Road congress at Detroit, that con-
gress and the Wilson administration
are disposed to consider first the in
terests of the farmers, who need good
wagon roads to bring them closer to
the market.
The "interstate-bouleva idea Is
largely supported by the automobile
people, whose campaigning for good
roads has given the general move
ment much of its impetus. The So
called touring class"-which, of
course, includes automobile manufac-
turers and agents as we'll as owners

is loss to civilization. Disturb him,

The scheme of changing the Gulf
stream, so that it will sweep up the
east coast of this country instead OF
sliding over to Europe, has reached
viding an appropriation for advanc-
ing the project The New York Trib-
une suggests a more practical way of
ameliorating our climate by means OF
dams, increasing the oblateness Of the
earth and reducing the angle of the
ecliptic so that the sun would not go
so far south or come further north
and providing the whole year the
climate of the southern states, and
thus make it possible to raise straw
berries and peas the year round. But
the real consideration concerning this
change would not relate to the straw
berries and citrus joys, but to the
character of the people. Temporal
ments and temperatures are closely
allied. A person who is used to frost
and freezes can never get along with
a tropical climate without losing some
of his "get up and enterprising dash.
The fact is the earth as finished by
the Creator in the first place cannot
be improved upon. The Gulf stream
is in the right place, and the oblate
ness of the spheroid likewise.

and we have reached the important op-
Grafton Of setting out the plants.
Use the dibble to make the opening
in the soil and to close over the roots
OF the plants, just as you would do Il
you were setting a tomato or cab
Iebage plant, and the work will be done
neatly and with dispatch.
Cultivation should begin as soon as
possible after the plants are set in the
ground, and this should be repeated
every eight or ten days thereafter Ii
the weather remains clear. Whenever
it rains, however, you should be In
your strawberry field as soon as soil
conditions render it possible to do so
But never cultivate the soil before il
will crumble when disturbed. Soil con
ditions always should determine the
time of cultivation. One thing that
never should be neglected is the ten
dency of the soil to form a crust. Here
are some Of the desirable results OF
cultivation: Cultivation prevents the
crust from forming on the soils surf
ace and destroys all weed seed while
they are in the terminating stage
Continuous, vigorous growth is OBJ
tanned only when the digestive organs
Of the plant are in a healthy condition
To keep the digestive organs in q
healthy condition we must keep bac
terra active To keep bacteria active
we must supply them with an abund-
ance of air; and to supply air we must
cultivate. Cultivation forms dust
mulch, a dust mulch retains moisture
moisture dissolves plant food, plant
food makes active roots, active roots
build up big foliage, big foliage
makes perfect digestion, and perfect
digestion develops a heavy fruit bud
system and keeps up continuous
vigorous growth.

Let US add that the grower should
never fail, at the last cultivation in
the fall, to run narrow furrow down
the center of the spaces between the
rows, SO that all surplus water from
heavy rains or melting SHOWS may
quickly drain away Make this furrow
from four to FIVE inches deep.
Some growers prefer to cultivate
their plants by the hill system. Others
like the single-hedge row, and still
others, the double-hedge row. There
are some growers who still continue to
grow plants by the narrow-matted row,
but this is something / never advise.
The grower should consider his mar
ket when setting out his plants. If he
is near a large city and has a trade
that is willing to pay fancy prices for
fancy fruit, there is no doubt but the
largest results VIII be secured from
the hill system. If ones plot is limited
as to size and all the work is to be

wANToN WASTE.

Now that the whale fishers who val
ued that deAizec of the deep merely
for his oil and his ambergris and his
bone have nearly depopulated the
ocean of whales, it is beginning 10
be realized that the abandoning OF the
colossal carcasses after these spolls
had been secured involved a shock
ing waste-that the flesh of the Wnale
is valuable for human food. The In
habitants of West Africa, 1t is said.
always have been aware Of this fact,
and have feasted upon many whale
abandoned by the whalers and tossed
upon their coast. The Japanese can
the flesh of the whale and esteem 1t
as delicacy There seems to be
no reason whatever why hereafter it
should be wasted by the seamen OF
any of the nations which are engaged
in the pursuit Of this monster of the
deep. But think of the millions upon
millions of tons of good whale meat
that have been abandoned at sea!
There is nothing to compare it with
but the ruthless slaughter of the Amer
lean buffaIoes for their hides that fol-
lowed the opening of railroad commu-
nication with the Pacific slope, and
that in a few years nearly ex-
tinguished the race of those noble den
tzens of the plains.
