MAY LOSE HI8 CROWN.

These persons say that tho grand ducal coterio will stop short of nothing to preserve autocracy in Its full power, and that if the present czar is not willing to look out for his crown, a regency will see to it that tho Infant czarevitch is not deprived of it unless it is taken I rem liim by force. Plainly this means that the men w ho have murdered by their counsel and methods thousands of the workmen and peasants In the many years of their rule, will not shrink from having put out ol tlm way the ruler who, it is strongly asserted they reverence in public, while they hold his lack of de cision, his desire to placate all of the factions and bis evident leanings to ward the 'moderate liberals in private contempt. RESERVES BREAK UP A CROWD. Russian Revolutionists were Blocking Streets in New York. New York, Feb. 21. Police reserves were culled out tonight to disperse a crowd said to bo sympathizers with the Russian revolutionary party. Kight men were arrested, charged withparad ing without a iKirmit, collecting i crowd and holding an unlawful meet ing. The trouble started when two police men rani8 upon a crowd cheering and applauding a seech made by one of tlielr numlier. The police were unsuc cessful In discrsing tho people, and called for the reserves. It was said that a rod llag was being waved and later a sergeant of police, who assisted in the raid, made tho statement that on one of the men arrested was "in flammatory and revolutionary' litera ture." This man's name was Albert Argenlier, nnd tho police found on him a suliscription list for Uie Jtussian rev olutionists, Baid to have been issued by tlm pro-revolution committee for litis sla.

There appears to Jie no end to the unique unen to which photography may be applied. The very lalont tiling In tho photographic novelty line U the Imprinting of portrait and other subjects on the actual surfneo of apples, piiirn, etc., but though tho latest. It Is merely one of a group of distinct novelties that have recently been evolved and which bring much Joy to tho lover of the unusual. A few your ago when photographs on buttons were announced by enterprising photographers tho announcement carried with It no small amount of Interest to the general public and added a new wrinkle for those who would wear their heart or their badge on their outer clothing to revel In, but now the girl who delights to carry a photograph simile of ber beloved about with her need not content herself with such comparatively clumsy devices as buttons or brooches as a frame for them. If she desires she may actually have the photograph made on her own delicate skin, and there, where there Is no danger of losing It, she may retain It as long as she wishes. Htlll another device that might perchance catch her vagrant fancy Is having the photographic print made on her finger nail. Hut If these nov elties do not entirely satisfy her whims, she can extend the list to almost unthought-of ends. The photographer of the present Is as obliging as ho U resourceful. He will print the picture on gloves If she wills It so, on her handkerchief If she likes, on cups, saucers, vases; practically anything with a surface on which a film enn he spread, whether living or dead or manufac tured mntter, may be made to serve the purpose of her wishes and come out of the photographer's bands adorned with the picture she baa desired so presented. Photographic printing on fruit, however. Is something In a class by itself, though It Is of the same Idea from which all the other novelties have sprung, nnd Is susceptible of being put to many novel uses. Already it has become quite a feature of the bnnquet boards in London, and at a recent mansion bouse affair the souvenir was a large red apple at each plate, adorned with a photograph of King Edward. The process by which photographic prints are made on fruit Is simple, and the surprise about It Is that It was not thought of before. It involves the use of no new principles, and Is merely the adaptation of photography to new materials. It Is simply a mattter of sensitizing the surface of the object on which it Is desired to print. All of these novelties tn photography had their origin In Tarts nnd are of such recent date that they have only recently begun to make their appear ance In this country. Singularly enough, only the Anger nail photographs have been taken up by New ork photographers. WORLD'S RICHEST GIRL TO WED. It is announced that Ilertha Krupp, the 10-year-old owner of the Krupp gun works at Kssen, Germany, Is be trothed to Dr. I lock, of Itbeodt, Ilben Ish. Prussia. Miss Krupp, who Is the wealthiest girl In her own right In the world, owns practically all of the $40,000,000 capital stock of the Krupp gun works, besides other wealth. amounting to JM.000,000 more, which her father left her. She has an an nual Income from the Krupp works alone of $2,400,000. She has already given great sums to clmrity and Is planning other philanthropic work for the benefit of her workmen nnd the poor. She wns expected soon to make her formal debut In Ilerlln society, un der the special protection of the kaiser, who was a close friend of her father. She wns said recently to have express ed Ideas In regard to matrimony which her relatives regarded "impossibly romantic." Ono of the declnratlons made wns that her husband, whoever ho be, would have to come and live In the factory town of Kssen, as she would never consent to leave the town where she snld her life work lay tn bettering the condition of the Krupp worklngmen nnd tlielr families. EVOLUTION OF THE FLOWERS. Tlicy llccomc BopliUtlcatcdi but Lone None of Tlielr Cliurm. It Is a far cnll. Indeed, from the wild rose to the American beauty; from the dainty, old-fashioned "pinks' to the Lawson and the enchnntress carna tions; from the pretty little china asters of our grandmothers days to the su perb chrysanthemums which renr their uuignltlcent mops us tropuies ol trie llorists' art. There are really very few things hi use In the world to-day which have not been materially changed by the forojs ot methodical development. Civilized men mid womeu themi'Ives nro the best examples of this nll-pervndlug In fluence, comments the Kunsas City Rtnr. The heusts of burden nnd the rentures which supply tho world with niitmal food nre remotely different from what they were In the beginning. The work of breeding and training has ndded beauty and usefulness to tho birds of the air nnd the beasts of the Held, and the same upward tendency Is noted In these hitter days. In tho flow ers which gladden life with tlielr lovo llness and which admonish man per petually of his fnillty. . Pleasant It Is to know what may be called the sophistication of flowers has robbed them of not a whit of their na tive charm. There Is, in the sensuous BERTHA KntTP. mntmr odor of the American beauty, the mag ic to revive In any mind attuned to the heart of nature sweet memories of tan gled vines and wild roses, creeping and blooming along country roads. The scent of a rich and full carnation will call up In a moment tender recollec tions of borders of spicy little pinks tended by loving bands that have been folded for years In dreamless repose. In the regal chrysanthemum Is seen the amazing product of brave little as ters which came to embellish the door yard with the first chill of autumn and after all of the summer blooms had perished. Flowers, thank heaven, are beyond the reach of affectation. They may be rendered, by careful culture, more -radiant, more prodigal of beauty and fragrance, more replete with the power to brighten the hour of gladness and to lend comfort to times of sadness and affliction, but tbey can bo spoiled or deteriorated never. As long as the world abides flowers will exhale their beneficent fragrance for all. and will never tire of the riot of beauty which they have provided since the morning stars sang together for the delectation of man.
