The superstitious belief that the health and even the life of Grand Duke Alex is, the young heir npparcnt, depended on the presence of Gregory Rasputin, the mystic monk, n notion which is generally known to have accounted for Rasputin's tremendous influence over the imperial family, is explained in tlie following manner by the Russky Slovo: Rasputin, according to the news paper, slated in confidence to friends at convivial moments that be was able to fortify this superstition with the help of Madame Virubovn, lady in wuiting to the empress, and M. liadmaef, court physician, until the empress wns absolutely convinced that the life of her son depended on the nionk. Whenever Rasputin was absent Madame Virubovn obtained poisonous powders from the physi cian and placed them in food brought to Alexis. The result was thai, dur ing Hnspnt in's absence the delicate health of the younf heir apparent grew worse until Rasputin was sum inoned back to the court, when the powders were stopped and Alexis bo came better. Kasputiu always announced that forty days after his death Alexis would fall ill. This prophecy came true, being caused, the newspaper de clared, by Madame Virubovn admin istering another powder to the little Women m Middle zige Many distressing Ailments experienced by them are Alleviated by Lydia E.
