She refused to say that Tier "former religion was accursed; that her conversion to the Russian faith was due to her that her own religion was not founded upon truth." as the law of the Russian church required. Neier before had the holy synod of Russia had to face such a refusal. Argument was In vain.

At her baptism in Russia she received the names Alexandra Feodorovna, and flie ezar afterw.ud conferred upon her the rank of grand duchess of the empire. The firmness of character which the czarina possesses has never overshadowed the more graceful qualities of her disposition. She is not stiff, but lively, graceful, and elegante, In the Parisian sense of the word; she Is sensitive, Impulsive, sympathetic, and witty. She is beautiful, of the refined, blue eyed type of beauty, with finely chiseled features, a clear complexion, and large, bright, laughing eyes. - Her accomplishments are more than ordinary.

Absolutely no provision is made by the constitution for a regency or for a vice presidency, and It is difficult to conceive what constitutional course the French Government could possibly take were Germany to stfeal a march upon France during the absence of the president, say in Russia. In such an save himself could respond pvent lo an ultimatum, no one irat himself would hare the power to legally convene the national legislature, and If it met of its own accord it could not take any legal action whatsoever, not even th6 voting of Supplies. Moreover, he"in!ghf experience difficulty in returning home to France,, since the triple alliance would'hardty permit him to cross their territory by Tall, while an endeavor would be made to intercept any French cruiser or deputed to bring him back.

Princess Allx was called by this curious modification of her mothers name because Queen Victoria found that the name of Alice was so badly pronounced by the Germans. The little princess received in addition of her aunts, Helena, Vic, the names toria Louise, gnd Beatrice. In her childhood she was called Sunny," from the brightness of her temperament, but after the loss of her mother and father the graniduke died In 1S92 she became mpre serious. From childhood she was remarkable for a distinct char- -' acter and Individuality of her own, and this was shown last year In connection with her entry Into the Eastern Orthodox church.

They charged $10,-Oo- O apiece ae thetr Tees and took tb money out of the treasury of the bankrupt corporation they were regularly serving as attorneys- - I know another case of a lawyer being employed to attend to a little business connected with the transfer of the ownership of a gas company. Ills services would bsva liberally compensated with $500. He had a lot of securities in hla hands and he put In a bill for $10,660, and got fche money before he would give up tbs securities.

The lawyer brought suit, collected the money and kept It all, send- Ing In a bill for $3,000 for his services. On a smaller scale, but in the same line, la s case In this city.

Many eminent lawyers, avowedly scale their fees to the amount of work Involved. Apply this theory of compensation to the medical profession and a doctor who saves a mans life would be warranted In taking a large share of the property. It takes no more brains and no more experience to be a good lawyer than to be a good journalist, yet the good lawyer ordinarily chargee a thousand dollars for an amount of time and special knowledge and skill for which the good journalist would be gaid to get s hundred.

Health Role Jo r CjclUta L No one should become s habitual cyclist without medical authorization. Before committing himself to an opinion ths medical man consulted will do well to examine the beginner on dismounting from the machine as well as beforehand; there are certain cardlao defects which only become recognizable when the subject Is under the in2. fluence of excitement or fatigue. A cyclist should at first be contented with a moderate pace, not exceeding twelve - kilometers -- per- hour (about seven miles and a half)! A higher rate of speed should only be indulged in after the rider has gone through a regular course of training. If a break in the practice occurs, lasting even a few days,- - the cycllst ahouTd recomiEeace at the slower rate. 3. The temptation to go quickly must be controlled as far as possible.

With a light machine on a good road, and helped ever eo little by the breeze, an amateur, even when only half trained, can easily achieve his twenty-fiv- e kilometers within the hour (fifteen miles and a half).
