But wil' Nicholas be able to ascend the thivue? IJ.ick of the Impending lituatlon lies the dread prospect of revolution. It ' more than probable, however, that Nicholas will quietly mcceed his father when the Inevitable scd comes. The Car of Russia names his own accessor, and it is believed the pres ent Czar may name hi son George, whose weak health alone is a bar to his succession. He is twenty-four fears of aee, and bis father's favorite, but little is known of his abilities. It is believed, however, that his views re French, 1 accord with those of his father.

The complaint is made that the mod ern young man docs uot take ns kiud'.y to dancing as h's father or grandfather before him. The general opinion seems to b that our roun-j men di not dance because they fir1 lazy. Another opinion tfven is th.-.t they are afraid of the modern young woman; that is, that they flee from the dance because danc ing leads quite naturally to proposing. When they have aked a girl to dance a certain number of times, it comes quite natural to some young men to ask her to do something even mors foolish, and these young men steer clear of danger. When young men are abl to contemplate matrimony with more equanimity than is possible In these expensive days, then it is sug gested that tiny wil! begin to dance again; but while young women expect to begin then- married life with as many servants and as large an amount of pin m'mey as their wealthy papa furnish them with, the young man be ginning life trembles on the brink of such a venture. Domestic Monthly. Drlak Water for Health. Probably the majority of people flrink too little water. Tea, coffee, beer, wine and other drinks are in dulged in; but these liquids are not a substitute for water, which is one of the most important of a'l substances required for the nourishment of the body. Water is required by the sys tem to the amount of two or thres pints daily. When the skin Is un usually active, as In very warm wea ther, the superfluous heat of the body must be carried off by evaporation from the surface, and a still larger quantity is required. It id probable that the hygienic value of water as a drink Is not appreciated. Some per- sons are even so unwise as to pur- Buffalo, and has been In use In sav posely abstain from water drinking, j ral of the larger cities of the State, with the idea that there Is a virtue in The house on exhibition is 24x12 ao doing.

Into a Maine village where he had preached when he was a licentiate with more hopes than fame, there came a few Sundays ago an elderly and pros perous doctor of divinity. After the morning service an old, white-haired man approached the doctor, and, hold ing out his hand, said: "Glad to see ye. I want to thank ye for what ye said this morning, and to tell ye that ye preached a sermon here years ago I've never forgotten." Pleased by such remembrance, the doctor grasped the proffered hand heartily, and said: "By flie way, what was that ser mon? I don't seem to remember." "Well," answered the old man, "I don't remember the text, nor I don't remember what you called the subject, but the cfvntral thought was that the ology ain't religion; no, not by a d d sight!"

No building lu this city Is better known than the National Academy of Design, corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, which has been the princ pal home of art In this city, for thirty years past. The famous building has been sold to the Metro politan Life Insurauoe Company for i;1ii.mn, and It Is expected the Ac ademy will net about .Vk).(Xk from the investment, for the purchase of & new site and the erection of a new, building, which, of course, will be fur ther up town. The Insurance com pany has consented to allow the build ing to Ik' tked for Its present purposes until May. 1;mi. The selection of a new plot for the future Academy has lieen entrusted to the hands of George Rende. the well known real estate Ug'It. The National Academy of Design was founded In 1S02. and is undoubt edly the leading art society of this country. It has a collection of paint ings and gives spring and fall exhi bitions of the recent works of Am erican nrt'st. and-also maintains free schoo's for the advanced students la art. It Is probable the new building of the Academy" will be located In the vicinity of Forty-second street and Fifth uveuuc The members of the AeaOeny of Hes'fjrt. Academy feel much pride In the suc i cess of the society. It maintains a j reputation with the academies of Taria i and London, and has numbered most of the famous artists of this country I among its members. Its Instruction,' ! which Is by the best teachers in this country, is absolutely free. Merit ' alone can gain entrance to its clashes, ns n money Is ever received for tult'on. The Academy also maintains many stud-nts in Germany and France for the study of art. There are two classes In every branch one for men and one for women and the women have an equal chance in every respect ! with the men. The sanitary condition of the tene ment house districts of New York has 1 in en greatly Improved within two ; years. One result is seen In the fall 1 ing off of the death rate, which is ibout 10 per cent, less for the first half i t 104 than for the corresponding 'pirlod in lMi?.. although the popula i tion has Increased. ' The reduction in the death rate of children under fire ' vears of age was stll! greater. Work ' u connection with the tenement house ' census brought out the rather curious i fact that one-fourth of all the deaths j n New York last year were in jails, hospitals or other public Institutions, j The number of deaths so recorded was i ltl.tB". Of these only about l.OK) rou'.d be traced back to the tenement houses. The death rate in the tene ' tnent disfricts is now about the same : as that for the whole city. This is a ' remarkable showing, considering the rrowded condition of many of the tt nements, especially on the east side, ! where the population Is so largely of j recent foreign importation. I The Police Commissioners have pro ; rislonally accepted a new election j booth for use in this city. A sample has been on exhibition for the past ' week in the yard at Police Ibadquar ' ters. The booth Is manufactured by the Portable Steel House Company of nooks secured to the wall of the honse. These form the sides of the booths. A shelf Is secured to the part of the wall nartitioned off. A curtain hung from New Votlnit Booth. in Iron rod, joining the top of the side walls, hides the voter from the view it the Election Board. There are also booths and opening on the side of the house, while the other door opens on the end. There Is a large table in one corner where the ballot boxes are placed, and several chairs for the election clerks. This part of the house is separated from the booths and the voters by a steel guard rail through which a chain j passes. An arrangement has been iniido by the Police Commissioners whereby tho booths may be purchased I after two years' use for $223. They j are only leased at present. The work of securing the adoption i of the Greater New York scheme, I which is to be submitted to the voters i this coming election, has been taken ! up with great earnestness. A non nart'.san earnnaicu will be vigorously I prosecuted, which, to Some extent, will tvershadow even the contests for uov a big meeting at Cooix-r Union is soon to be called. . MILTON S.
