pinned to the pillow wtinrn rilrf:-s
the child who, If his ltfo b prolong
ed, will some dar succcod to tho
throne of Russia, the Czarina, It la
reported, recently found ft note.
In hrlef, terrible words It Informed
the unhappy lady that It wns useless
to attempt to protect tho life of her
Kin, that both the boy and his father
were certain to bo stricken within
tho twelvemonth.
How came It In this placo, protoct
ed is It by thomanda of soldiers,
this frightful threat, every word of
which wns a stab to tho mother's
heart, Is a myfctcry not explained. It
5 incomprehensible that tho most
daring Nihilist could have pawed nil
tlio guards and stolen his wny Into
this most private of chambers. Yet
tho Czarina hns preferred to believe
this explanation rather thnn necept
the other and moru awful theory,
that treacher.- In her own royal
kousehold, menaces the llfo of her
beloved boy.
The horror of the Incident Is but
typical of what the royal mothers of
Europe are suffering.
It Is tho custom to laud tho cour
age and devotion of mothers of the
poor, and their herolsir Is Justly
praised, but tho least fortunate of
them Is no more torn by dread, an-
RUSSIA'S CZARINA.
Rulsh, fright and misery, than half a
doten of Europe on whose heads are
set crowns and whose shoulders are
wrapped In the puiplo of klnghood
The fright of the Czarina over the
newest threat on the life of her son
and her husband are but the renewal
of scares that hare Increased In vio
lence In the last two yoars. A score
of Russian Generals and men high
In power have fallen by the mob,
tho pistol and the dagger of the
fanatto.
When the bomb th:own Into hi
carriage blew the Grand Duko Sergtus
tc fragments tho unhapfr Csarlua,
saw tho assassin's hand penetrate
Into her own family. She knows
that the land Is honeycombed with
hatred of her line. Hot husband,
her son, herself and even her poor
little daughters are In the glare of
thin hatred. One Instant's relaxing
ul vigilance on the part of the guard
Irig soldiers, treachery in her own
huosehold or carelessness on the
part of herself or her children may
mean a new tragedy in unhappy Rus
sia, and more blood of royalty li
spi'led In the never ending battle
with Nihilism.
Theco ere the thoughts the
Czarina carries with her day and
night. These added to the normal
burden of every "mother, the His of
tho children, their education, their
tendencies, makes a weight under
which the truest spartan might
bend.
With every attack on royalty, suc
cessful or unsuccessful, the fears
of the Czarina must be augmented.
She must feel that the chain is tight
ening, that the regicides are coming
closer. Thirty people were killed a
couple of years ago when soldiers
fired into a palace of the Czar, and It
was only chance that saved Nicholas
from bolng numbered with the slain.

TIIK HELL OF WAR.
MsenMe More Dendly Tlinn Ilullcta,

The splendid achievement of
clentlflc medicine in civil life in the
prevention of disease, should be even
more effectually obtained In an
army, where only healthy men are
accepted, and vigorous outdoor camp
life should keep its units, who are
subject to strict military dlsclullno.
In perfect physical condition. I'Aalth
alone, however, la no guarantee
against tho Insidious attack of the
silent foe that lingers In every camp
and bivouac, says an article In Ap
pleton's. It la this foe, as the rec
ords of war for the paBt 200 years
have proved, that Is responsible for
four times as many deaths as the
guns of the enemy, to say nothing
of tho vast number temporarily In
vallded or discharged as unfit for
tM'ty.
It Is the dreadful unnecessary sac
rifice of life from preventable dis
eases that constitutes the hell of
war today. In tho Russo-Turklsh
war the deaths from battle casual
ties were 20,000, while those from
disease were 80,000; in our great
civil conflict, of the nearly 1.00,000
men who perished on both sides,
about 4 00,000 were sacrificed to
disease to 100,000 from battle cas
ualties.
In a recent campaign of the
French in Madagascar 14,000 men
were sent to the front, of whom
29 were killed in action and over
7,000 perished from prevent
able diBcaseB. In the Boer war in
South Africa the English losses were
ten times greater from disease than
from the bullets of the enemy. In
our recent war with Spain 14 lives
were needlessly sacrldced to ignor
ance and Incompetency for everjr
man who died on the firing line or
from the result of wounds.
That the monstrous sacrifice of
80 per cent Is almost totally unnec
essary, was abundantly proved in
the records of the Japanese war.
whore 1.200.000 mor. were sent to
the front, in a country notoriously
unsanitary, and only 27,000 men
died from disease to 69.000 who fell
in the legitimate line of duty on the
field of honor. This because ine
Japanese had "a properly equipped
medical and sanitary department.
whose officers were empowered to
enforce proper sanitation and hy
giene.
