Russian Empress Favorlte.

Stories abound of the luxury pre-
vailing at the military headquarters
of Prince Potemkin, one of GATHERINGS
favorites. His establishment included
five or six hundred domestic servants,
troup Of actors, and twenty jewel
ers. Conceiving the desire to see the
'tzigane' danced, and being informed
that two officers In the army of the
Caucasus danced 1t particularly well,
he summoned them-a whole weeks
journey-in order to give their per-
Torrance, and recompensed them for
their foolery by promoting them to
field rank. There were fetes given
at his headquarters, at which every
one OF the two hundred ladies present
was given a costly shawl, and invited
to help herself from q crystal goblet
filled with diamonds. He hard
ly ever mounted g horse, but, when
he visited the lines, drove round them
in a carriage; and there Is a story
of his having sent an indignant mes
sage to the general commanding the
artillery to inquire what he meant by
making such disgusting noise with
his guns. THE Comedy Of Catherine
the Great, by Francis Gribble.

BANK SYSTEM FOR FARMERS
Under Raiffelson System AgrieuItur-
lists Pool Theft interests and
Get Financial Status.

David Lubin, the California capt.
talist, who is Americas delegate to
the International Institute of Agri-
cu&ture at Rome, believes stronglyain
the European cooperative banking
system for farmers In this country
as well as abroad. He came from
Rome to speak to the Southern Com
mercial congress at Nashville on the
plan, setting 1t forth In very at
tractive form.
In Mr.. Lubin's Judgment the
farmers principal grievance is that
outsiders control the marketing of
his products because he is unable to
borrow money sufficient to finance
him and enable him to hold his
products himself, instead of letting
them go for what he can get for
them and turning over to 'big bust
ness" the advantage OF holding them
and thus cornering markets or fix
ing prices. And the reason, he points
out, that the farmer is unable to get
the money Is that he lacks the proper
rating at the banks. Now, under the
"Raiffeison system" as he describes
1t, in vogue for many years abroad,
farmers for miles around combine
their resources, pool their interests
and get a financial status and rating
on which they may borrow the
money they need at reasonable rates
of interest.
How we'll the system might work
in the United States Is debatable,
but this principle of 1t really does
seem commendable We have been
hearing a good deal about how the
middle man" and the big busi-
ness" baron were usurping the fruits
of the farmers labor. Whether such
a system would tend to release the
farmer from their grasp trial OF 1t
would soon demonstrate. Yet, as
whole, the lot and opportunity Of the
American farmer are far ahead of
those of the European.

Health Through Right Thinking.

The mind furnishes the model; the
mental attitude is the pattern which is
woven into the life web. Picture
health as wildly as possible contin-
ually. Think of yourself as strong,
vigorous. Never allow yourself to
carry a mental image OF weakness.
Thrust out the disease picture as you
would thrust thief out Of your house.
Think health, vigor, strength perpetual
IT, Whatever picture you carry of
yourself physically, mentally. morally,
that you tend to become. Act health
just as an actor acts the part he i'm
personates, and think health vigorous
ly; carry an ideal picture of your
physical self. Refuse to see anything
else but yourself In an ideal condition.
Your life will soon follow your thought,
pattern after your mental attitude

s14,0o0,ooo SENT TO BRITAIN
Postal Orders Totaline $a5, 100000
Received In United Kingdom From
America and Colonies.

London.-Sir Henniker Heaton, who
was largely responsible for the intro
duction of penny postage between the
colonies and Great Britain and be-
tween England and America, has been
gathering statistics which show that
last year $35,O00,oe0 was received by
the United Kingdom from America
and the colonies in money orders.
Some of this money, of course, was
in payment for goods, but Sir Henri
ker estimates that by far the larger
portion was sent as Christmas and
other presents from those who have
prospered across the waters to poorer
relatives at home.
From the United States alone there
came over $14,ooo,ooo, OF which s5,-
100000 was for Ireland. Canada sent
$11,500,000, Australia s2,5O0,00O, India
$1,7O0,000, New Zealand $1,200,OOO,
South Africa 100000 and other
places $1,5O0,OOO.

FOR A BOYS ROOM.

The boy who takes pride in fixing
up his room Is usually one who is in
terested In making things, and his
room is almost certain to contain
q number Of pieces Of homemade
furniture and conveniences. No mat
ter how poor his working material
may be, he usually manages to trans
form 1t into things that are useful,
and for the very reason that they
bear a rough appearance, compared
with what might be constructed out
of new material, the room containing
such furniture will approach nearer
to the ideal" than one fitted up en-
tirely with store furnishings.
The blacking-case, magazine-rack
and tabouret illustrated below are
useful pieces of furniture that every
boy should have In his room, and all
three may be made out Of boxes and
odd pieces of boards.
A soap bog is of just the right size
for the blacking-case Gig. u. Cut

inches wide and the other as much
narrower as the thickness Of the

REFUSED TO ACCEPT sNuB
Napoleon III. keenIy Felt Slight Of
Russian Gear, but Refused to
Show His Annoyance.

It has been urged by French au-
thor that Napoleon I'll. entered into
the Crimean war on the side Of Great
Britain because he had been well re-
ceived in the London clubs during his
sojourn in that country. But there
might have been another potent factor
Independent o. the e.nneror's pleasant
recol1ections Of the English and that
was the slight to which he was sub
jected by the czar Of Russia, Mich
olas l.
When Napoleon ascended the throne
as emperor he notified all the reigning
sovereigns Of the fact, addressing
them as Monsieur mon frere." With
the exception of the car they replied,
adopting the same formula Nicholas,
however, began his reply Mon grand
amt" This is the style adopted by
sovereigns when addressing presi-
dents Of republics. Napoleon fully I'M
derstood the cars meaning.
At the New Years reception of the
diplomatic boldly he went up to Count
KissleW, the Russian ambassador, and
said to him.
II have received a letter from your
sovereign which aatters me greatly.
He writes to me, Mon grand ami One

Bedouin and they are apt to compare
him very unfavorably with the Be-
douin Of travellers tales or Of fiction.
This person (the Bedouin of the Pyra-
mids), Is picturesque Of aspect and
wears the traditional robe Of volum-
nous folds and carries stick or staff.
He hangs around the tourist and Of
fers his services as guide. He will
not take mo- for an answer; he wor-
ries-he posters. He begs for back
sheesh. After annoying the party for
about quarter of an hour he finally
accepts gratuity and departs.
The fact is that in nine cases out
of ten these men who hang about the
Pyramids are not genuine Bedouins,
but claim this honor to attract tour
lists or to escape military service.
When Napoleon first invaded Egypt,
the Bedouins (the genuine Bedouins
of the desert) fought well for Mo-
manned Ali, the Pacha of Egypt. This
potentate granted exemption from
CONSUMPTION to them and their
heirs for ever. But to get this ex-
emption an Arab has to prove that
he is genuine Bedouin by race.
Tradition claims that the Bedouins
are the descendants Of Ishmael. They
are extremely learned in matters Of
genealogy and very particular in mat
tiers Of tribe, family and connections.
A Bedouin child is taught his gen.
ealogy and can repeat his descent for
many generations.s The bedouin fam
lilies are probably the Oldest In the
world
The claims to long descent OF the
Towards Or even Of the Courtenays
are things Of yesterday beside the
high antiquity OF the Bedouin family
tree.

Worth Trying.

Every village should have club
room Where the men and boys Of the
place and the farms can meet their
companions. Such a place would do
more to advance the cause of tenn
perance than any other one thing.
The saloon with its gilded bar and
cheerful fire and lights to snare and
rob boys of their money and character
would soon lose its charm If they had
club room in which to meet their
friends and companions. People who
talk loudly against the saloon evil
might opeI up the easements of their
churches, provide a good reading and
rest room. furnish coffee, papers and
books and run in opposition to the sa-
loon. II elimination fails meet the
saloon evil by direct competition.

inveterate Tea Drinker Feared PaA
