St. Pktebsbubg, Oct. 19. There seems
to be no longer any reasonable doubt
that the czar is rapidly approaching his
end. A dispatch from Lividia today an
nounces that hia condition has changed
. for the worse since yesterday, and the
imperial family is alarmed. A special
dispatch received subsequently from
Lividia says the czar last evening suffered
from a sudden spasm of the heart, which
compelled him to lie down. His condi
tion became so critical that his confessor,
Father Yanischew, ' was hastily sum
moned. It was reported here this after
noon an imperial edict will be published
Monday entrusting the regency to the
czarowitz, General Count Vorontzoffda
choff, aide-de-camp to the emperor, and
minister .of the imperial house; K. P.
Pobiebonastieff, procurator-general of
the holy synod, actual privy councillor;
Witte, minister of the interior, and Gen
eral Vanneuski, minister of war.
It is announced here this afternoon
the condition of the czar is desperate.'

president ot the diet, M. Kusumoto, re
plying to the speech of the mikado,
thanked his majesty for advancing with
the imperial standard and for personally

majesty might have considered China
was the enemy of civilization, and we
obey the imperial desire to destroy its
barbarous obstinacy." .

jury.

Like most other people,
our folks formerly used lard
for all such purposes. When
it disagreed with any of the
family (which it often did,)
we said it was "too rich."
We finally tried
C077GLEKE
and not one of us has had
an attack' of "richness"
since. We further found
that, unlike lard, Cottolene
had , no . unpleasant odor
when cooking, and lastly
Mother's favorite and con
servative cooking authority
came out and gave it a big
recommendation which
clinched the matter. So
that's why we always fry
ours in Cottolene.

TORTURING TURTLES.
How tie Foor Reptiles Are Deprived
of
Tbelr Shells.
"I never see any of the pretty arti
cles made out of tortoise shell," said a
citizen of Oakland, Cal., recently,
"without thinking' of the probable
torture the poor turtles had been sub
jected to in order to procure the ma
terial for their manufacture. The na
tives in the West Indies lie in wait for
the turtles as -they come to the shore
to deposit their eggs, then they catch
them and turn them over on their
backs, so that they are absolutely help
less. The operation of divesting these
creatures of their shells is cruel in the
extreme. The tortoise shell that we
value is merely the scales that cover
the bony shield of the turtle. These
scales are thirteen in number, and a
large turtle will furnish about eight
pounds'. In order to detach this shell
from the living1 animal (for they don't
-want to kill them, as in that case they
would be exterminated in a few years)
they fasten him down, and then put
dry leaves and grass under his back, to
which they set. fire. The heat causes
the scales to separate at the joints.
They, then insert a large knife beneath
them and lift the shell from the back.
Many turtles die under the operation,
but they have been known to be
caught a second time with an outer
coating reproduced, but in such cases
there was only one piece," instead of
thirteen. '

COURTEOUS BY INTUITION.
Bat He Would Throw Any the Snail All
the Same.
A very little incident will sometimes
show the natural trend of a person's
nature. An old Scotchman visited an
office where some young men were con
gregated, and, after concluding - the
business which took him there, stopped
for a social chat. In the midst of this
he took out an old-fashioned snuff box,
opened it,, took a pinch of the mixture
and offered the box in turn to each one
present.
The surprise of .one Vas reflected in
his face as he declined the proffered
luxury, says the Detroit Free Press.
Another smiled, broadly as .he said:
"Excuse me," but the third took a
pinch and held it in his thumb and fin
ger, while the old man replaced his
box, showing in every line of - his
shrewd old face his appreciation of the
snuff-taker, and soon after he took his
departure.
.'-What will . you do with it?" asked
one of the group.
"Throw it away," was the reply; "but
I Was not going to hurt the poor fel
low's feelings by refusing to take a
pinch. It is Jike eating salt with an
Arab it. makes you-his friend thence
forth forever."
"How do you know that?"
"I have intuitions," was 'the quiet
answer.
