RUSSIA ROYALTY A Shadow That Darkens the Path of the Czars. THE FEAR OF ASSASSINATION Plots That Were Woven Around Alex ander li. and the Bomb That Shat tered His Body An Infernal Machine That Failed to Kill Alexander III. , Tho shadow that falls across the path of tho czars may extend the world round. Wherever the ruler of all the Russias may happen to be, there tho shadow of fear lies. Once In Tarls, once In the palaco gardens, Alexander II. was fired at. Again in the Winter Palace square one Solorieff, wearing the uniform of on official, passed the guards one day, and again the czar was fired upon. Alexander ran for the palace. Solo rieff followed him and fired three times. The czar ran in zigzags, how ever, and so escaped. Not long after ward two mines were laid to blow up tho imperial train. One did not ex plode, but tho second wrecked the train. Once more the czar escaped. Watching eyes had saved him, their owners having persuaded tho ruler to take another train. Later Alexander II. owed his life to tho fact that he came late to a func tion at tho palace. A bomb blew clean out a large portion of the Imperial resi dence, but tho czar was not present. But of all tho attempts on the lives of Russia's rulers two stand out most clearly for their amazing ingenuity. One tells the story of a little unpre tentious shop in Malaja Sadovaja street. Kobozeff, then unknown to the police, took the shop and set out to impress tho police, who were al ways making sudden inspections of premises along tho thoroughfares through which Alexander II. paused, that ho was nothing but n provision dealer. Nearly every one in that street was a paid spy, but Kobozeff joked with his customers, pleased his purveyors and wa3 most affable and apparently harmless; The dealer inspired confidence, and his custom increased gradually. No wonder, for most of the parcels that his customers were carrying away by day contained nothing but earth earth that during tho night hours had been scraped by the man and his wlfo from beneath tho street! It was by such ingenious method that a tun nel was hollowed and cleared under the thoroughfare and a mine laid be neath the way the czar often passed, an Innocent couch upon which the housewlfo slept covering the entry to the tunnel. Yet all the work was useless. On tho day tho scheme was to bo carried out tho czar upset all the arrange ments by going off to lunch with tho Grand Duchess Catherlno Mlchaclovna. Among those who were watching on behalf of the terrorists was a beauti ful girl a countess, too named Fo rovskaya. It was she who, seeing tho altered arrangements, gave warning. Tho czar would return to tho palaco another way. Along this route four men carrying bombs were stationed. One throw his. Men and horses wero killed all around, but tho czar stepped from his coach unscathed. A second man holding a bomb came forward and threw it. "This tlmo tho effect was awful," says Waclaw Gaslorow skl, who describes tho incident iu his book, "Tragic Russia." "Tho czar fell as If cut by a scythe. His legs were shattered to pieces." So died tho czar who had escaped as by a miracle many times. Alexander III. followed, and there were attempts upon his life. Tho fourth was one of the most sensa tional In the cntiro list of nihilist plots. Ou a bright autumn day tho impo rlal train traveled at full speed on tho track well guarded by soldiers. It was toward noon. Tho imperial family were in tho dining car, where lunch was about to bo served. Tho cook and his help wero making tho last prepara tions for it when an assistant was taken ill. Thd court physician attended the man and, having stated that ho had fever, with symptoms of somo inex plicable aliment, decided that tho man could not remain in tho imperial train, and ho was left at tho next statlou. Tho train moved forward toward Borkl, traveling at tho speed of eighty kilometers an hour. Then tho elec trical bell notified tho cook that tho imperial family wero ready for lunch con, A few seconds after tho bell sounded a terrific uolso was heard, and a violent explosion changed iu tho twinkling of an eye tho luxurious im perial train into n heap of broken iron, of wrecked cars, of mutilated corpses, enveloped in smoke and made all tho moro harrowing by tho moan ing and cries for help of tho wounded. Yet tho czar cscapod! Tho dining room car that the nihilists had in tended should bo a gravo for tho czar, his family and his suit saved him, for although its roof and floor wero wrecked Its Bides wero preserved. They Inclined toward tho center, prop ped each other llko two cards and re mained in that rosltion, protecting thoso who wero there from being crushed. Tho cook who had been put off tho train had worked tho whole thing, llo had placed an Infernal machlno la n cone of sugar and had faked his ill ness, thus getting clear away. Phila delphia Ledger. A CULINARY MASTERPIECE. When You Go to Paris Don't Turn Up Your Nose at Mussels. You will find in Tarls a small res taurant lust inside the street entrance presided over by a waiter who has ap parently been forty years of age for the last twenty years. He has a friendly, alert nii and anything in the world that you want he will promptly provide. You will naturally order some sort of potago or something that your fan cy suggests; but, whatever else you do. be sure to call for mussels. I can see you turning up your nose at this. In America who eats mussels except at rare times perhaps some plcuieu mus sels? They are with us in the same category as tripe. But behold the genius or tne irencu: When the waiter brings in an enor mous sliver bowl with a domelike sli ver cover nud when he removes tuo rover, then you forget everything In the world except the delicious savory smell of the steam which rises from tho myriad shells that open lovingly for you to extract from tuem tne dain ty sea flavored mussel that lurks within. Mussel, did 1 say? No; these are not tho ordinary mussels that Americans know. French castronomic genius has transformed them into moules marl- nlere. In some deftly magical way the French chef has imparted a delicious suggestion to the moules, just that in definable, evanescent memory or gar lic-garlic which In the bands or tne ordinary cook Is an offensive and dead ly weapon, but which In the baud of a cook of high degree an artist in fact Is a meaus for achieving some of tho supreme triumphs of his art. After the moules you will have any- thlnc vou care for dainty slices of galantine or sliced capon nestling, amid watercresses and then peruaps some peaches in a little basket where the fruit is infolded In leaves from its own tree and ripened to precisely the right turn on some ancient wall in the sunshine of an old French garden, then perhaps some pulled bread and a bit of Camembcrt and a Cafe Maza gran in a long glass. No one remem bers now the battle that gave its name to this particular preparation of cof fee, which shows that men may come and empires may fall and armies may be dashes Into fragments upon the bat tlefield, but tho genius of cookery re mains triumphant and its achieve ments are uever lost Bookman. Mercy turns her back to the unmerci-ful.-Quarles. ENGLISH MONARCHS. Death Often Unkind In the Manner of Their Taking Off. Of the monarchs who have reigned over Encland since the days of the Norman conquest nearly one-quarter of tho number have met violent deaths. William I. was killed by a fall from his horse, William II. was shot while hunting, whether by accident or de nim is still one of the unsolved prob loms of history: Richard I. was killed bv a shaft from a crossbrow while besieging the city of Chaluz, in France; Iiirhnrd II. was murdered In Pontefract castle, Edward II. was murdered in Berkeley castlo and Edward V. In the Tower of Loudon, Richard III. was killed on tho battlefield of Bosworth, and Charles I. had hia head cut off in London. Elizabeth's death was hastened by remorse that sbo had ordered tho ex ecution of Essex, and her sister Mary sickened and died soon after tne loss of Calais, declaring that the name of that city would bo found after deatn written on her heart. The death of Edward III.'s son. the Black Trlnce, caused tho aged mouarch to dlo of orlof. So. after the loss of his son in tho White Ship, Henry I. was never seen to smile again and lived only a short time. Henry VI. and Georgo in were lusaue during tho latter years of tholr reiffus and finally Oiea irom what In these days would be called nnrpsla. Charles II.. Henry VIII., Ed ward IV. and Georgo IV. hastened then deaths by tho lives they lived. Only two monarchs died of that great na tional scourge, consumption. They wnro Edward VI. and Henry VIL Queen Anne's death was due as much na nnvthlncr else to overreeuing. uniy two monarchs, Henry VI. and George III., died after long Illnesses. London Tatler. A Good Position, can be bad by ambitions yonng men and women iu the field of "Wireless'.' and Railroad telegraphy. Since the 8-honr law became effective, and since the Wireless companies are establish ing stations throughout the country there is a great shortage of telegraph ers. Positions pay beginners from $70 to 90 per month, with good ohance for advancement.
