Bright ana Vigorous Intellect She Is Passionately Fond of Music and Makes a Study of Matters Pertaining- to the Government of Nations Tbe beautiful young- empress of Eus sia looked upon her recent coronation not as doubtless have many others in her place only as a state function of unparalleled splendor but as a solemn religious rite She makes no secret of the fact that she has taken life most seriously since her betrothal to the czarowitz became an accomplished fact nor yet that in spite of her devo tion to her husband the man of her hearts choices as well as the suitor whom the statesmen of her country thought it desirable she should espouse she considers that the brightest part of her life was left behind with her irresponsible girlhood During their honeymoon as was natural with a young lover the czar was inclined to cut audiences of state short to sign official documentswith hardly a glance at their contents and to openly display impatience when too many details were submitted to his consideration With womanly tact and sweet reasonable ness the czarina has modified all this Her bright and vigorous intellect has known how to give Inteiest to the dull ness of business of state her originality has thrown a glamour over the monot onous rouud of court ceremonies while her suggestions as to what might be done for this or that seifo n of the community have done much to make her consort realize that the millions he has to govern are human individu als and not one great vague indefinite whole We do not assert that the young em peror would not in time have made this discovery for himself but it is notori ous that his youth and disinclination to interfere in public affairs have kept him move in the background than is usual w ith heirs to the throm while j his fathers unexpected death prevented the Tate ezar from associating- his son with himself in the administration of the empire It is an undoubted fact that Eiaperor thoughl most highly oi his fnture daughter-in-laws strength of purpose- and force of character and in the conversations had with her during his iast illness it is likely he spoke long and seriously on the opportunities she would have of influencing her husband and thus in directly swaying the destinies of the vast and great race abou to be commit ted to his hands It is nothing new to the Muscovite statesmen to note the gracious pres ence of a lady In the couneil chamber The young czarina is only following the example of the dowager empress when linannonnced she quietly enters the room usually with some dainty in linn V A - 1

that Princess Alix of Itesse was passionately fond of mu sic and as in marrying the czai she ntered a family -whose devotion to the art is equalled by few It might be thought that she wowld spend more time than ever at the instrument she prefers The contrary is the case the nanificem piano in her boudoir will remain closed for long mornings at the tune while the graceful head of the young empress is bent low over some page in the crabbed characters of the Muscovite tongue or one which while written in simpler language of the Fiench deals w ith subjects of no more general interest than international law London Queen The Illusion impelled An elderly Russian jirnicess much ad dcted td gambling and very supersti tious Uim one day engaged in her fa vorite pastime when a gentleman of genial aspect but horribly deformed came and sat down beside her How lueky thought the good lady Jn this persuasion and with the assurance com mon to persons of high rank she began to stroke the protuberance of the hunch back whilst increasing the amount of her stakes In the course of half an hour she lost G0000 francs yet she did not complain being firmly convinced that she would recover the whole amount lefore very long But suddenly the hunchback stopped playing and as he stood up he looked as tall as a grena dier He thriist liis hand up his back and withdrew the hump The latter was nothing- more or less than a husre felt wide aivalve that the -wearer had stowed away under his coat to save him self the trouble of leaving- it in the cloakroom The supposed hunchback was as straight as a pikestaff The princess flew into a passion called him a swindler and an impostor and it re quired the united efforts of all her friends to pacify her El Diluvio Stub Ends of Tnoughts The
