A COMEDY OF JINGOISM.- Ona Illustration of the Utter InefB- ; ciency of fcnssiau Kule. . A particular example of the Czar be- lng used by one department" against another occurred last year, when the seizure of the British mail steamer Ma- lacca by the ships of the Russian vol unteer fleet caused the relations be- tween the two countries to become del- initely strained. The whole matter lay at the doors of the admiralty, says a writer in McClure's. Their man had done the thing, and whether at the in stigation or suggestion of fcis superiors or not, the Grand Duke Alexander Mlchaelovitch . and Admiral Avellan made no secret of their entire approval of his adventure. The admiralty, having a direct pro- fessional concern in the matter, was the department most consistently hos- tile to Eneland. and there was a pros- pect that they would support their sub- ordinate at anv cost. Their relations with the foreign office were already in- j amicable, for Count Lamsdorff, with that steady Gothic prudence which conroensates him for lack of genius, ; had been assiduous In his endeavors ! to refrain at least from purposeless ex asperation of Britain, and the depart ment had shown their teeth to one an other over the question of the passage of the Dardanelles. So now, when the ; prompt British note of protest -was persented, Lamsdorff was eager to ren- der satisfaction, while the admiralty, high in favor at court, was determined to meet all demands with a truculent defiance. : It is Impossible to render the situa tion by a . Western analogy.' It was more than half a personal matter, and since Count Laaasdorff had at the mo ment no grand duke in hand, he had to walk with caution in opposing Al exander Michaelovitch. There were some of the elements of comedy, too, for it was Iiamsdorff, and not the ad miralty fire-eaters, who must receive the British ambassador, Sir Charles Hardinge; and things might have been funny had not the delay in accounting for the seizure of the ship evoked from Britain a further and final communi cation, which contained an unequivocal demand for the release of the Malacca forthwith. "It was, In short, an ultimatum In all but form, and it lacked nothing of brief force and clearness. With it : came news from the south or the ac tivity of the Mediterranean fleet, and all the government knew .that Russia was now facing a bleak alternative of surrender or war with Britain.' And even then the admiralty was triumph ant, florid with power, blindly exultant over the mess it had made in the af airs of the empire. Alexander Mlchael ovitch went daily to the Czar and was the man of the moment. Lamsdorff saw the Emperor only at his weekly audience. All his plans, his long dispo-j sitions of policy, were crumbling; It was only at the last moment, with the'ed an attorney especially to represent ultimatum to answer, that he lapsed the dignity of his office in his politi- cal need and went to Work m orthodox Russian style. He got himself a grand duke, in the person of Constantin Con- stantinovltch. the Czar's uncle, a big. pleasant man who writes-verses and occasionally acts Hamlet. ' "For ordinary purposes of interde partmental politics the Grand .Duke Constantin Would be inaccessible; as it was, Lamsdorff s appeal to him was an Inspiration. He has weight because he is disinterested and as a rule unin terested in state affairs.- He appeared now as an altruist engaged on behalf of the safety of Russia, and together suugni uiai veueu source oi pow- , er me uowager impress. was to Tsarsko Selo they went 'uSn flis majesty was at Peterhof.

THE COST OF LIVING. Pnrchaalnsr Tower of a Dollar To-day ml from 1890 to lOOO. -All important food articles except sugar and coffee are higher at the present time than the average for the 10-year period from 1S90 to 1900, says a writer in Pearson's. In looking back upon the course of prices since 1890 It 18 interesting to discover (from flg- l'res compiled by the- government) that in that year $1 would buy seven and four-fifths pounds of fresh beef, while to-day it will purchase only six and four-fifths pounds. That amount of money in 1890 would buy ten pounds of salt beef; to-day nine pounds. Of salt pork In 1890 it would buy nine and a half pounds; to-day a little over seven pounds. One dollar In 1890 wiuio purcnase seven ana a quarter pouDds of chickens; to-day less than 8lx ana quarter pounds. It would buy ten pounds of fresh fish in 1890; ro - oay nine ana a tmra pounas. In 1590 lt would pay for five dozen and fotlr eggs; to-day for only four dozen and three. One dollar in 1890 would buy nearly IT quarts of milk; to-day less tnan 18 quarts. It would purchase in lbUO lour and a quarter pounds of butter; to-day only three and three quarter pounds. One dollar in 1890 was a fair equivalent for six and a third pounds of cheese; to-day it will purchase half a pound less. To-day $1 will buy less than eight and a half pounds of lard; in 1890 it would pay for nearly 11 pounds. Of cornmeal to-day you can purchase for that sum 38 pounds; in 1890 yon could get 46 pounds. When it is con sidered that the average American family whose income does not exceed $1,200 spends nearly 45 per cent of Its entire income on food, it is easily seen how great a difference is made by a rise in prices of 10 to 25 cents on every dollar's worth of edible supplies, cover ing meats, vegetables and practically all other eatables. ' As compared with the average prices governing during ihe period from lt90 to 1900 it is reck oned by the United States Bureau of Labor that hams and salt beef have gone up 12 per cent, salt pork and bacon, 32 per cent, lard 35 per cent, fresh vegetables 13 per cent, cornmeal 1 per cent, crackers 19 per cent, New Orleans molasses 20 per cent, beans 31 per cent, herrings 31 per cent, salt 21 per. cent, pepper 72 per cent and currants 121 per cent. Protesting' Against Fate Reduction. Atlanta, Ga. The recent proposition of J. Pope Brown, chairman of the Georgia Railroad commission, to re duce the passenger rate in Georgia from three to two cents per mile was protest ed againet by the Botherhood of Loco motive Engineers, the Order of Rail way Conductors, and unions of the blacksmiths, machinists and telegra phers, boiler makers, railway train men, carpenters and joiners, clerks and i car men. These organizations employ- j them, who urged that such a reduction would work against the prosperity of i the state and lead to a reduction in the number of railroad employes as well as of their wages. The Travelers' Pro tective association also protested that a redaction as proposed would result in fewer trains and poorer service. Her Transformation. She drank quantities of water, ate a lot of starchy foods, Abstained from exercising every day; She assimilated,; lactic and a case of ' malted goods, Bat it seemed her fate to have to fade away. She so mourned attenuation, with a vis age like an owl's, That a smile upon her face was never seen; While below her mouth were wrinkles, and above her eyes were scowls, And her nose was like a hatchet in be tween. . But one day she fell to laughing in a strange, hysteric way. Just in thinking how ridiculous it proved; ' And it mellowed to a cackle that was . sane enough, they say, Till at last she giggled every time she moved. - Why, she chuckled out her wrinkles, and she snickered off her frowns, And then took to all the things she shouldn't do; Now she's grown as fat as butter, and has outgrown all her, gowns; 1 But she laughs away at that disaster, too. x Woman's Home Companion. .

MRS. MINNIE E. McALLISTER, wife of Judge McAllister; writes from 1217 West 33rd street, Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years wi"h a pain in the ymall of my back and right side. It inter fered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem ts help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to tryv it. Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. "Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once mere is the bet thing I could wish f or, and thanks to Pfcuna, I enjoy that now." Pain in the back, or on the right side. How often a physician hears this complaint! Over and' over we hear women say; "I have a pain in the small of my back. , I have a pain in my right side, just be low the ribs. These symptoms indicate pelvic or abdominal catarrh. They indicate that the bowels are not acting properly that the liver is out of order that the pelvic organs are congested. Pelvic catarrh that is the name for it. Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, w' en all of ' these symptoms disappear. The catarrh may be ' all in the ab dominal organs, when it would be prop erly called abdominal catarrh. At any rate, it is one of those eases of internal catarrh which can be reached only by a course of treatment with Peruna. We have on file thousands of testi monials similar to the above.
