The empress of Russia has just com pleted her twenty-sixth year, and for 2 's years rue has worn the very heavy crown of Knst-ia with wonderful grace and dignity. This, too, in ppite of the fact that she long and earnestly resisted tbe imperial honors that were fairly thrust rpou ber. At tbo time of ber marriage the was not tho least in love with tbe young czr.r. Her youth, passed in tbe almost bumble home of ber father, tbe Duke cf Heste, inclined ber to look with tbe greatest distaste on the tedious cere nionial end icy formality of the Rus sian court, while it went sorely against tbo grain fur ber to change ber Chris tian iicie and ber religion, as tbe Rus sian laws exact. As Princess Alix she bad passed a simple, bappy girlhood, and it was her wihh to have- married for love, as ber plain, kindly sister Irene, now Princess Henry of Prussia, bail ..iie. Her desire fur a Russian marriage was certainly Hot increased by tbe igirt of tbe trag ical misery of ber beautiful sister Ella, Whoso husband is tbe Grand Duke of Jerge, tmcle of tbe present czar. As Princess Ella bad fcoeti u,uiuj pow erb'as to resist her fate, so Princess Alix ai.so yielded to tbe demands of ber fam ily ; but, unlike ber sister, sho found a gvutlcr if a duller consort. Ry infinite tact she has done much to sweeten and refine the life of the court at St. Peters burg. Her influence is somewhat that of ber grandmother's, the queen of Eng land, and she has preserved for herself tbe right to follow ber own religion privately. In all her reforms against court gosmp, snicking among ber ladies, tbe admission of notorious men and women in the royal circle and ugaiii8t antiquated foolish f owns and ceremonies the czarina is quietly tpk-ld by tbe sol emn, rather stupid young czar, who is aid to have the profoundrst respect for Lis wife's beauty and ber splendid vir tue!. He is in fact very much inclined to follow ber advice, defer to her opinion, and be adores her two rosy, blond daughters. Nearly every year by her will alone he brings ber to join her grandmother's horoebnld for awhile in the highlands. It is by her pleasure that they also visit every summer her broth er and sister in their modest homes in Germany, and if all goes well it would eeur that the day would com when this fair young woman, whose iace is icd and severe as that of a nun, will bold great power in tbe Russian empire, to which she came so reluctantly and with tears as bitter as tbose of Ipbi genia.

HU weather is entirely prostrating to tbose oat of condition and it is trying enough to tbe most robust, but it U possible to create degrees in our discom fort and to make it more or less positive under weather which sends the mercury skylarking aniong the nineties. If we eat, drink and drcs properly and eschew fussing.' we are decidedly bappier and cooler than when we allow any reversal of oue of these conditions. in tbe matter cf clothing, wtman is her own tyrant Men learned la;g ago that a costume which allow of circula tion, of al sorption of penetration and of an occaaioual passage of air between the body and clothes, is tbe only sane dress for summer. A woman begins wrong with tbe corsets, and ends wrong with her lined and bonod dress waiet, ber tight garters and ber neck beld ia a stiff white collar, and many details of the habits of individual women but add to tbe discomfort. Of course, stout women 6uffer most from beat, and tbey are precisely those who squeeze into tight clothing. Could it be established, once for all, that this tight clothing only accentuated size there would bo less of it Some authorities recommend a light woolen garment next the skin, but while that absorbs perspiration it pre vents evaporation, and in a climate like ours evaporation is necessary if we would keep cool. If any sudden change comes, those clad in flannel are imper vions to cold or chilL but we have days and days of torrid weather when we rarely feel any chill for which a light wrap is not sufficient protection. Tbe most comfortable dress consists of a lisle thread vest or shirt, low neck and short sleeves; a corset of net a summer corset, as it is called and light ly boned, instead of tbe heavy coutil and irou affair of winter; drawers of fine, thin muslin made loose and open at tbe knees. A thin muslin or india silk petticoat, a thin corset cover and a dress of muslin or nnliued silk made loose will lie found a great relief, especially if instead of the stiff linen a piece of riblKiu or white net is loosely tied around tbe throat Underclothes shodld not be starched by the laundress, and thecorset should be worn loose. Philadelphia Ledger. Summer Work Among tho Flowers. Go over the garden beds daily and re move U fading flowers. This is very necesfary if yon would keep your plants blooming. If seed is allowed to form, the plant will throw all its energies into the development of it and yt will get but few flowers, but if the process of nsrure is interfered with by prevent ing tho plant from forming seed it will, as a gvucral thing, make further efforts to perpetuate itself. In thus thwarting its efforts it can be kept flowering in definitely. Remove all withered flowers fniiu the lower portion of tbe gladiolus i-tlks. If they are lft clinging there, they soon give an untidy look to the spike. Tie the central stalk of each dabiia to a stout support, or the plant may la broken over by a sudden wind. Give morning glories stout strings to clamber on, but never attempt to train sweet i-as ou any support of this kind, for they will stubbornly refuse to make use of it They like best a support cf bmi.li, but tbey will do very well if trained over wire netting with a coarse meh. The netting should be at least five fivt wide. If the season is a dry one, water must be supplied to plants iu the beds. Give it after sundown, to avoid the too rapid evaporation which takes place if the ap plication is made while the sun can get et the KiL Apply it close about the roots of the plants, where it will do luort good. Keep the soil loose and open. This prevents its crusting over so that water will run off instead of into it. It also enables it to act something like a spouge and absorb whatever moist ure comes in the shape of dew. If weeds were kept down well duriug tho early luirt of tbe scasiu, tbey will not need a great U1 of attention now, but the gardener should make it a rule to pull up every one as soon as seen. Never allow a weed to ripen. Grass clippings from the lawn will be found very effective as mulch about dahlias and other plants requiring a constant moisture at the roots. As soon as it begins to decay dig it into the soil aUut the platit aud let it act as a fer tilizer. Harper's Bazar. The Bachelor Girl's Waterloo.

Which tbe HepobUcnn PartT lino Made Good, mill We Have Oue Country Again A Rousing Soldier Meeting n Support ot the Soldier Ticket Pence at LasC Between Phil adelphia Factions. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Aug. 15. The beginning of American victories over Spain was not at Manila, but at Appomattox. When General Grant stid to the beaten and broken Confederates after the sur render. "Keep your horses; you will need them to plow your fields," he sounded the high keynote of that con sistent Republican policy which has resulted In making this cation a union Indeed, not a mere collection of com munities pinned together with bay onets. This has been brought strongly to mind by two events which have taken place here within the last few days the visit of the survivors of Pickett's division as the guests of Phil adelphia Grand Army men. and the meeting of the Pennsylvania Associa tion of War Vterans' clubs, for the purpose of reminding the old soldiers and their sons, to whom tbe war of the sixties Is only heroic hearsay, that there is a soldier ticket on the Repub lican corner of the ballot this year which deserves the!- votes as repre sentative of both the past and the future of the country. However they might appear at the flirt glance, no two meetings were ever more consistent with each other. Both represented the comradeship of all true soldier who. In reaching out the hand ot gallant recognition toward all brave men who stood in the opposing line, do not forget the fraternity of men who have slept under the same blanket and faced the same fire. A veteran of Pick ett's who left a large fraction of him self In Pennsylvania after that last mad dash at Gettysburg and now walks on crutches made this point very well. He was a typical back country Virgin ianneighbor, no doubt to that one who shocked one of the hallboys at the swellest hotel In Philadelphia by appearing upon the ground floor after midnight, in sock feet, with his sus penders hanging from his shoulders and the Ice water pitcher In his hand, inquiring where the pump was but he is a notable man ia his neighborhood, has been continuously Justice of the peace for 20 years, and served a term in the legislature. And while he might not be up to date In some peculiarities of modern civilization, he Is full of homely common sens; and useful knowledge. Experience teaches the observing that there Is many a man who Is liable to blow out the gas who Is nevertheless tit to make laws for the directors of the gas company. The "squire said: When General Grant started your party on that high plane of treatment of our i-eople he put us on our honor. We were down on our backs, and the republican party was th.-oned in abso lute power. In our anticipation it was orly a question how many of our lead ers you would consider It necessary to hanr- You might have treated us as the piostrate inhabitants of conquered Isl ands, and you received us instead as fellow citizens, and lived up to your proclamations that you had been fight ing with us for four years only to keep us In that relation. Much has been said of the magnanimity, the gen erosity, the charity and so on of the treatment of the south by the norfi tfter the war, but It took the present war to call proper attention to the fore pl:ht and broad statesmanship of the Republican party In following the pol icy it has pursued. McKinley has shown himself worthy of the example of Lincoln and Grant, When he contin ued Kits Lee at Havana and then gave old Joe Wheeler the chance he sought to go out and get shot at under the old flag he warmed our hearts and turned a clinch on the good work of 30 years. What do we folks think of Mc Kinley? What did you think In 'to, when it was tried to put somebody else in Lincoln's place to settle the job? Na president since Lincoln has grown upon the country after his election so fast as McKinley, and there are a lot of us down south who never voted anything tut a Democratic ticket who are not oi.ly going to be for McKlnlev next time, but who are for the ticket that lepresents McKinley this fall. The party tbat has fought the war must be the party to settle the issues growing out of the war. now as in '65. We may he just at the beginning of our troubles and all the nations of this earth must be taught that this country stands right behind its president, as the north stood by Lincoln. His defeat would have been worth an army to the Con federacy then, and any doubtful sound that would go out to the world from our voting places this fall might cost us an other war. You we have one party in this country which has proved it self capable not only of conducting a great war. but of gathering its fruits and dealing with the questions which follow, and the enthusiasm for Its suc cess In the elections this year Is Just plain horse sense. And so," he added, with a sweeping gesture to ward the room w here the war vete rans were declaring their loyalty to the Republican soldier ticket, "so Is that. I wouldn't give shucks fur an old sol d!er who wouldn't stand by another old soldier whenever he got a chance." The War Veterans had a remarka bly representative and earnest meeting, by the way. On the roll call 51 coun ties responded, and. before the presi dent of the association. Colonel Robert D. Death, finished his opening address, a number of others came In. They were men whose names stand for something, too. As a sample, take this committee on resolutions: Hon. George W. Hood, of Indiana, chairman: Thomas G. Sample, of Al legheny; T. A. Cochran, of Armstrong; Captain Fred M. Yerger. of Berks; Hon. W. T. Davles. of Bradford; Major J. T. Ensmlnger, of Dauphin: Hon. Mil ton S. Lytle, of Huntingdon: Captain S. A. Craig, of Jefferson; Colonel Os car L. Jackson, of Lawrence; General John P. Taylor, of Mifflin; James S. Morrison, of Philadelphia: Hon. D. J. Horner, of Somerset: Colonel Chill W. Hazzard, of Washington, and Colonel N. A. lliKonn, of Wyoming. In the resolutions, which were adopt ed with fervid applause, after congrat ulating the country on the heroism of its young soldiers who are now in the field, and warmly endorsing President McKinley for his conduct of the war, the association declared as follows: "That, in the coming election, we pledge our hearty and unanimous sup port to our comrades, as well as their associates upon the Republican ticket, and thus show by our votes that tbose who stood by our country's flag and defended it in the hour of need have not been forgotten by a grateful peo ple, and that such sons our common wealth delights to honor. "That it is the sense of the veterans of the war of the rebellion, and we be lieve It to be the judgment of all the patriotic citizens of this commonwealth, that, as in the year 1861, so now the soldiers in the field should have the right to vote, and our state officials should early take the necessary steps to have this privilege accorded every soldier and sailor now in the service of the country. "In 1S1 the Democratic party of this state declared that the legislation ai lowtr.g our soldiers and sailors In the field to vote was unconstitutional, and ' In support of that declaration tha pres- I ent Democratic candidate for governor, I Hon. George A. Jenks. by his voice and influence, showed that he was In com- ' plete act-orS with the leaders of his party, and be ought not, therefore, re- I ceive political support from those who I believe in the Justice of that measure to the men then serving their country ' on land and sea. That, as survivors of the war of the rebellion, we call upen our comrades and fellow citizens to cast their voir s at the comlnj election for the KepuL- tjeacr, in oraer mat mis gie. ..,ti. .tut hjill have a full Re publican delega'.ion In congress, and a Republican legislature, so that it shall become a matter of record that Penn sylvania is arrayed on the side of right. Justice, humanity and prosperity, thus saying to the country at large that the people may continue to rely on Re publican principles as the means by which the nation, under the wise lead ership of President McKinley and his advisers, may continue on Us onward march of progress." Speeches in the line or the resolu tions were made by General James W. Latta, x-Lleutenant Governor William T. Davles. General B. Franklin Fisher. Congressman Thad Mahan and others, and a campaign committee of 15 wa ..w. for. to pee to It that the work ! done with so much effect for McKinley In '. and by the parent organization the old "Boys In Blue" as far back as 1866, shall be repeated this fall. Here In Philadelphia, whose big vote biwavs a matter of general state in terest, the significant development of the week lust closed Is the decisive e vi dence that the factional differences which have split up the party for over three years have been wipea aw it's as safe as a bet on McKlnley's ay. re- election that there will be only ont publican local ticket this fall, with whole party behind It GEORGE IL WELKHOX Re the FOR LITTLE FOLKS. The youngest volunteer A Eansns Boy, Only Fifteen Tears of Age, Fighting For tho Flag. Thn little farmiue town of Lin wood, on the line of tbe Union Pa.i'p rail- Tr A 27 milpa west of Kansas C ity, is tbe home of the youngest of the 200,000 ninnteer soldiers who are serving Un cle Sam in the war with Spain. The distinction is one worm noasting and Linwood is making the most of of. iu opportunity. , Tho name of this youthful talriot Craig Harris, and bis ago is 15 years and 4 months. Ho is a son of United States Senator William A, Harris, Ian w 'In I. . cmio HAKKIS. wood's most distinguished citizen Young Harris was greatly inti rested in tbo war from the first, and when the president called for volunteers he promptlv enlisted. The elder Harris was astonished and mncb disturbed when be learned of bis son's act and was strongly inclined to interfere, bnt tho boy pleaded fo hard and so well that the father yieUU-d. "I saw that Craig's heart was set upon being a soldier and going to the war," remarked tbe senator to cue of bis friends, "and I concluded to let bim have bis way." As showing the sort of stuff this youth is made of it may be said that a few weeks afttr bis enlistment iu the First District of Columbia regimeut us a pri vate he was promoted to be corporal. and since then has been made o sergeant in Company I. Ship's Mascot In Battle. "Scared?' said an engineer of the Terror, speakiug cf San Juan. "Well, I coesa I was. It was awfully hot be low, and wo couldn't see a thing, and the concussion of the guns and . the knowledge that we were in a rain of shells were mighty unpleasant The cat and I were very badly frightened. guess the cat was worse than L But then, yon know, the cat and I were the only folks on board that minded it" He had evidently forgotten the cele brated goat, William Terror, who excit ed so much interest when tbe monitor was iii New York last winter. Billy is very young. Tbey call him an appreu tice goat It was his first time under firo, and he behaved very badly. When the action opened, he was on the upper deck, and at the first broadside became panie stricken. He tore snout the deck. A sailor had to carry bim below, and in the depth of the ship, alone and nncom- forted, he trembled and bleated till the last gun was silent. Tbe Detroit's goat was braver. He had n station on tbe gun deck, aud whilo tho tiring was going on and tbe shells were wnimng over him he re mained absolutely quiet But whenever there came a lull ho crpered madly about There is a difference of opinion as to why be was so composed during all the confusion. His friends among tbe crew say he was Interested and was watching the battle with a critical eye, and that bis subsequent capers were but an expression of satisfaction at its re sults. His tlctractcro contend tbat he was paralyzed with fear, and tbat when the noise ceased t lie spell was broken, and he gave vent to his feelings cf terror by his wild antics. Chicago Inter Ocean. Homeless Sea Birds. Owing to tbe activity of tho govern ment in coast defenses many thousands of sea gulls have been wiped out of ex istence. Great Gnl! Island, situated at the eastern end of Long island, wad ouo of tbo interesting spots iu America to scientists who desire to study the habits of sea birds. It was estimated that more than 14,000 gulls found their nesting places aniong tho cliffs cf this little is land, which comprises only about 11 acres. Last y ?ar the government decided to erect fortifications on the island, and workmeu scut to build temporary dwellings made sad havoc among the birds and their eggs. These peaceful birds in gray, unused to cruelty, were so tame tbat tbey made no attempt to fly at tho approach of man, and so were easily captured and destroyed. This spring a few returned to the old haunts, but as other forts are to be erected there will be no place for the feathered pio neers of tbe island. New York Tribune. "Doobtfal Characters.' When Mr. Gladstone and Lord Tcn nysou paid a visit to Kirkwall and wished to see St Magnus' cathedral. they had to get the assistance of tbe United Presbyterian minister to show it to them. "I was," Mr. Gladstone said, "such a doubtful character tbat even iu the company cf Tennyson I was not suffi ciently respectable to be conducted over it by the proper authority." Tbe story is told by Mr. Patrick Campbell, for so many years Mr. Gladstone's election agent in Midlothian. Westminster Ga tctte. Qaeer Beckoning. Indian street peddlers throughout Mexico sell lanauas for 12 cents a dozen, but when offered 24 cents on payment for two dozen bananas the peddlers refused it aud demanded 25 cent. Tbe course of reasoning is that 1 real is 12 cents; 2 reala, 25 cents; 8 reals make a dollar. So the trav eler must pay a real for one dozen ban anas, but L'5 cents for two dozen, and po amount of argument will convince the peddler that ttis is not right tVty Sho Cooid bailie. "Your wife always wears such a happy expression, Mr. Willikins. She always seems to be smiling." "Yes, sbe didn't have to earn the $4? worth of gold that she wears in her front teeth." Cleveland Leader. Shakesperean bangles made la axi died silver, with a Shakespearean quotation In old EugUnh lettering, have been brought out as a recent novelty. Tbe quotations chooen re supposed to have some affinity with the person by whom they are worn. The golf player aud tbe bicyclist are favoring bangles made of fine silver fishing lines twist ed round a silver fishing pole, or golf club bent to the shape of the arm, and the wheel of a bicycle has also been adapted to the same purpose. These are rivals to the fine wire go'd bangle which jingle at every movement of the wearer owing to the innumerable orna ments attached. Since the Amerieim 8panisl war patriotic, bangles are sell ing in New York, having red, white and blua enameled bands, the charms consisting of i-annons, flags and ticy me n-of-war. The good luck bangle has a figure of Buddha in diamond, which is supposed to make the wearer wise; a email statuette of SL Joseph U to prosper ber love affairs, while the pig brings wealth and the frog health and happiness.
