The Dowager Empress Has Com- pletely Shut Out the Young Czarina. The women of the highest, Russian aristocrasy, from the Clarina herself down, are devoting themselves to the aid of the Red Cross Society, and through their efforts many milâ€" lions of roubles have been raised for the sick and wounded in the I~‘ar East. ~ As the (‘znrina Dowager still holds the same position at the tussian Court as she held when Alexander III. was alive, there is no position there for the young L'Aarina. to hold, no work for her to do, no duties for her to fullilâ€"â€"she is, as it Were, an interloper in her own husband's house. This is a. painful enough state of affairs for her when things are at peace with Russia; but it is infinitely worse now when the whole Empire is seething with excitement. and the air is alive with the clamor of arms. She can do nothing, for whenever she tries, she is promptly told by the Czaf'ina Dowager she has already arranged to do it. Then, if she perâ€" sists, she is made to understand that her one duty in life, is to provide Russia with a Czarovitch. and that until this is accomplished the quieter she keeps 'ersell‘ and the less she is seen or heard of the better. THE CZARINA _ always accompanied by her eldest sister, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, wife of the. Czar's uncle, has been making trips through the lower quarâ€" ters of St. Petersburg, urging pat- riotism upon the poorer classes; and the police have been purposely warnâ€" ed not to interfere with these expeâ€" ditions of the Empress, so as to avoid any appearance of premedita- tion. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth, who lives in Moscow, where her husâ€" band is Governor-General, is a high favorite with the Moscovites on acâ€" count of her democratic ways. She Ihas succeeded .in raising enormous isums from wealthy Moscow merchâ€" ants solely by the charm of her corâ€" dial manner. She invited the iner- Zchants to a bazaar, shook hands With them. and, addressing them by their patronymics, gave them rc- freshments with her own hands. She also called upon their wives ldrank tea with them, although ‘dislikes that beverage. The head and front of this work lfor the Red Cross is the Grand ( uchess Vladimir, who lends 'her presence to all the sessions of the St. Petersbtu‘g branch, and. personalâ€" Ely aids in other ways. She presides ‘at bazaars. se with the sewingâ€" classes, and visits the girls' schools, where she helps the pupils to make flint and bandages for the soldiers at the front. The Grand Duchesses Alâ€" exandra and Constatine. the latter bll" of the most beautiful women of the anpire, have placed their palacâ€" es at the service of the Red Cross, and tour the city in their troikas, she A BACK LICK. I l Settled the Case With Her. Many great discoveries have been made by accident and things better than gold mines have been found in this way, for example when even the accidental discovery that coll‘ee is the real cause of one‘s sickness proves of most tremend0us value because it locates the cause and the person has then a chance to get well. ‘ “For over 25 years” says a Misâ€" souri woman "I suffered untold agonâ€" ies in my stomach and even the best physiCians disagreed as to the cause without, giving me any permanent lhelp, different ones saying it was lgastritis, indigestion, neuralgia, etc., so I dragged along from year to year, always half sick, until finally lI gave up all hopes of ever being ell again. ' “When taking dinner with a friend one day she said she had a new idrink which turned out to be Pos- tum and I liked it so well I told her I thought 1 would stop coll‘ee for awhile and use it, which I (lid. “So for three months we had Posâ€" |tum in place of coffee without) ever having one of my old spells, but was 'always healthy and vigorous in- stead. . “Husband kept saying he was conâ€" vinced it was coffee that caused ‘those spells, but even then I IWouldn't believe it until one day we got. out of Postum and as we lived two miles from town. I thought to use the coffee We had in the house. “The result of a week's use of collee again was that I had another terrible spell of agony and distress proving that it. was the coffee and nothing else. That Settled it and I said good-bye to Coffee forever and since then Postum alone has been our hot mealtime drink. , "My friends all say I am looking worlds, better and my complexion is much improved. All the other mem~ bers oi our family have been bemL mtql. too. by Postufn in place of the eld drink. coffee." Name. given by l’ls’un (1).. lluttle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Postum in place at coffee or tea is the wise thing for every coffee drinker. Such a trial tells the exact truth often where cofâ€" ffec is not suspected. Look in each package for the fam- ous little book, “The Iload to Wellâ€" Lville.” and ‘ THIS MUSIUlllll IS 'DELIGHTED HIS KIDNEY DISEASE AND GRAVEL CURED BY DODD‘S KIDNEY PILLS.

Crow, the wellâ€" known musician of this place, rt- laies an experienve that adds to the already great popularity of Ilodd's Kidney l’illsin this locality. “I suffered for years with Kidney Trouble." says Mr. ('row, "which l)“- cafne aggravated with every attack of cold and caused me much agony.

C7arina's Co t list of the name of Princess Marya lllichailovna Dashkol‘.‘ for an innocent remark, shows how seriousâ€" ly the Czarina takes her duties in .connection with the \\ ar. When Prin- cess Daslikoli was asked, like all 'other court women, to join the sewâ€" ing class, she consented; but re 'marked to a lady of honor that she would prcfer to hire tWenty seam- ’Stresses, who would do more work than all the Czarina’s two thousand aristocrats. This observation was retailed to the Czarina, who forth- with put the Princess on the black- list. The incident created some senâ€" sation. as the Princess belongs to one of the best-known families of the higher Russian nobility. Large numbers of educated young women of the better classes are seek- ing to obtain employment as nurses in the army. Each applicant is in- formed of the terrible rigors of Si- beria; but not one in ten is daunted by the prospects held out. The sociâ€" ety has been obliged to decline thouâ€" :sands of requests for enrolment. The Russian public is greatly touched by these evidences of patriotism on the part of the women. and the reâ€" sult will be a much larger measure of freedom for women in future. Rusâ€" ‘sian women already enjoy more libâ€" erty than the women of any Coun- try except the Angloâ€"Saxon, and the result is that in times of nationâ€" .al danger they comport themselves lwith great ‘heroism. The part they [played at the siege of Sebastopol WILL EVER BE REMEMBERED. It is not only among the aristo- crats that this outbreak of patriotic Icharity manifests itself. Matilde Ix'schensky, Russia's favorite ballet; dancer, has left St. Petei‘sburg, throwing up her profitable engageâ€" ments, and has volunteered and gone to the seat of war as a Red Cross nurse. Not only this, but she is touring the country on the way, dancing to houses packed to their ca- pacity, and giving the entire proâ€" ceeds of every performance to the benefit of the Red Cross Society. Another popular favorite. the singâ€" er Labunskaia, is proving her patri- otism. She is one of the prettiest singers of chansonettes in Russia. and also is making a striking tour of her native country, which began at Perm, a little west of the. Ural Mountains. There, after singing a 'little song to loud applause. she dt~ livered with tumor and spirit a new patriotic song entitled: “Slavnaya Rossiya.” Reports from Penn state that the audience cheered for five minutes. Her opportunity had ar- rived. Blushingly she announced :that she would give a modest kiss to lfor it, and would send the. thus acquired to the lied Cross ciety for the wounded Russians. The men in the audience stormed the stage, and the women present proved their love of country by urgâ€" iing their husbands and S\ve-.-fhearts ito cliastely salute, the pretty singer land to contribute ten roubles to so noble a cause.

We. Cannot get domestic vants because the girls want to be typists or clerks.

All that it re- quired is a, good figure, and the carâ€" riage necessary to show 03' beauti- ful gowns. “'l’he profession is that of manneâ€" quin, or draper's model.

"Unfortunately the demand for such women is not large. But, afâ€" ter all, perhaps, it. is nearly as large as the supply, considering how very few women are perfectly formed now- adays." .____.+......_.. v- .n How a Thls We ochr One Hundred Dollars Reward for any Case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by llall's Catarrh Cure. 1".

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has issued a handsome publication, profusely illustrated with halfâ€"tone engravings, descriptive of the many attractive localities for sportsmen on their line of railway. Many of the regions reached by the Grand Trunk seem to have been specially prepared .for the dclectation of mankind, and where for a brief period the cares of business are cast aside and life is given up to enjoyment. Not only do the "Highlands of Ontario" present unrivalled facilities for both hunting, fishing and camping, but the 30,000 Islands of the Georgian Bay, Thom sand Islands and St. Lawrence Riv- er, Ridcau River and Lakes, Lake St. John. and the many attractive lo- calities in Maine and New Hamp- shire, present equal opportunities for health, plcasure and sport. All these ylocalities are reached by the Grand Trunk Railway System. and on trains unequalled on the continent. Abstracts of Ontario, Michigan, Que-' bcc, New ifanfpshire and Maine fish and game laws are inserted in the publication for the guidance of ,sportsnmn.
