TITLES OF THE ROMANOFFS.
Alexander III. Wat Proud to Bo Callod
th Poaaant Emporor.
The lnte czar of Uussia Is now known
as Nicholas Komunoff lu the great land
over which he held autocratic sway. It
. is not the title by which he expected to
go down to posterity.
M. do Blowitz. the famous correspond
ent of the London Times at furls, was
responsible for putting on record a
story recording Alexander III., the fa
ther of Nicholas, which is worth recall
Ins in this connection. The czar and
Lis courtiers had been discussing by
what added title he should be kuown In
liistorv. His father had been called
Alexander the Liberator and Alexan
dor the Martyr. What should the son
be called y "Alexander the Just," sug
eestcd one. "Oh, no," replied the czar.
"I am and shall remain the peasant
emperor. So some of my nobility have
gtvled me hi derision, scolIiiij at my
alTection for the moujik. But I accept
the title as an honor. I have tried to
procure for the humble the means of
livelihood, and this, I think, is the best
and only means of keeping the world
going. My greatest ambition
is to deserve to bear to the last the
title of the peasant emperor."
Little could Alexander III. have
thought that the world was so near the
time when his son would ruu the
chance of becoming the "last of the env
perors of Itussia." Dundee Advertiser.

la In most homes the fireplace: hence
its location and construction are of
vast importance in building a home.
The fireplace, if there Is only one,
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy It
most It should be located in the cen
ter of a wall space, either on one side
or at one end of the room. Select the
apace which will permit the greatest
number of people to sit around It
In the construction of the fireplace
you must not forget thnt Its chief pur
pose Is for a fire. The more simple the
lines of construction the better taste is
displayed and the more room the open
fire receives.
There is a great variety of material
suitable for a fireplace, and your indl
viduallty and taste can be well ex
pressel In this Important factor of the
home. Brick, tile, wood and many tile
substitutes may be used. These offer
great possibilities both for good color
and design and lend themselves to any

Our 8uprm Court.
Aa originally made up the supreme
court consisted of a chief Justice and
five associate Justices. In 1807 a sixth
associate was added when a new dis
trict had been created to take in the
new western territory comprising the
states of Ohio, Tennessee and Ken
tucky. In 1SC7 the expansion of the
uatlon westward ngnln called for an
Increase In the court, and two more
associate Justices were added.
In 1S03 a ninth associate justice was
needed, but five years Inter, when np

President Andrew Johnson might have

the chief executive, reduced the num

the Inauguration of President Grant,

constituted tho court has remained.
A Famoua New York Street
Few of the thousands of people who
pass the corner of Nassau and John
streets every day know the early his
tory of Nassau street. And yet right
at that corner Is a bronze tablet which
gives in concise form the following
historical Information:
"Nassau Street, Known Originally
as 'the Street That Huns by the Tyo
Woman,' Was Laid Out About 1093 and
Was Named In Honor of the Ilouse of
Nassau, Whose Head at That Time
Was William the Third, King of Eng
land and Stadholder of the Dutch Re
public. Nassau Street Became Identi
fied Wltu the Jewelry ' Trade More
Than Ilalf a Century Ago."
The bronze tablet is ou the exterior
of the building at the northwest cor
ner of Nassau and John streets. It

The Sea of Space.

expression "the sea of space." if the

of millions of a similar kind were oc
cupied by one single globe 6,600,000,000
miles In diameter it would be but as a
feather in the marvelous spread of "va
cancy" surrounding it. In fact. It has
been calculated that in the space occu
pied by our solar system 2.700.000,000,
000,000 globes of the size of our earth
could revolve, each at a distance of
500,000 miles from the other, and the
whole business would be nothing, for
there Is no wall to the treasure vault
of heaven. Exchange.
Personal Responsibility.
There Is such a thing as personal re
sponsibility which cannot be delegated
to another. In the navy, for example,
we dock ships, and the docking officer
Is held personally responsible. Dis
bursing ofllcers In the navy are per
sonally responsible for every payment
made not only by themselves, but by
their assistants. They cannot delegate
responsibility to the pay clerks even
for the petty cash.-F. C. Coburn in

Between the provincial building, and
the Filipino schoclhouse, part of which
Is used as a girls' dormitory, stands the
sacred tree of the Ifugaos, with a span
of Its branches of 300 feet. Nor is It a

begins ns n parasite vine, kills tho tree
ou which It rises and then hides it In
Its twining trunk. The Ifugaos think
