The ('znrlna Refuses in Let Others Nnnc olgn. The Czarina has undertaken a re- sponsibility unknown in the history of Czarinas. iAgainst the advice of phy- sicians and the Czar she is nursing lit- tle Princes Olga herself. Before the doctors had finally concluded that after all the nursing would not injure Her Majesty's health m much as the shock of absolute refusal to accede to a loving young mother's reqrest, the peasant women advertised for had begun to ar- rive. They were as numerous and each was as certain of the superiority of her qualifications as the applicants for the position of a prize beauty in a circus parade. For centuries the sons and daughters of the. Czars. up to the teeth- ing time. have had their sustenance from peasant. women. "A woman who had not been the mother of fewer than two and more than four children. dark com- plexion preferred," was the message that flew from village to village, and there beat faintly in the heart of every qualified woman b that fame and rubles might be hers by makin blood and bone for a. princess. All t e we. men of Russia are delighted that their Czarina is to do all the old-fashioned maternal duty herselfâ€"all except the candidates. It almost makes up for the fact that Olga was not a boy. _-_ .-_~<-..â€" _.-- ...... In No Danger. Little Dickâ€"Momma. mayn‘t I have some of that. black coffee? Mammaâ€"Mercv!

During the closing day of the Holmes' trial the court room was crowded to suffocation. and Philadelphia papers mention individuals who had come from a distance of several hundred miles to get a look at the man whoin they con- sidered the ne plus ultra scoMel thus far discovered among the population of this planet. The products of freedom, however. happily do not include Superlatives of that sort. Prodigies of dejl'vity flour- ish best in an atmosphere (I despotism. The prohibition of harmless pastimes has driven millions to seek compensa- tion in vice, and the loss of their earth~ 1y liberty is apt to tempt reckless men to a. license contract with the powers of darkness. In the rogues’ gallery of the universe there is no room hardly for a tin-type of such novice rascals as Holmes and Durrant. The real cham- pions in the internal arena. must be looked for in the middle ages. in tyr- ant-ridden Italy and Spain, but above all in the despotic, East where might is the chief measure of right, and where the sense of justice has been deadened by centuries of absolutism. Only the midnight hour of mediaeval tyranny could evolve such demons in- carnate as the Borgias, and only the soil of Central Asia could engender a monster like Aurungzebe, the usurp- er of the Mogul Empire, the canting. treacherous murderer of his relatives and benefactors. Compared with that adept, the criminals of Pagan Rome appear ' MERE AMATEURS of their specialty. Nero, with all his vices and deviltries, was at least no hypocrite; he boasted of his profligate exploits. and felt so sure of his popuâ€" larity with the masses that he mingled with the crowds of the circus festivals and the competitors of a minstrel match, while the Great Mogul locked himself up in his prayer room and trusted nobody but his court spies and court poisonâ€"mongers. He was the third of the four sons of Shah Je- han. and even in his teens began to sew the seeds of family feuds and Watch for a chance to get his broth- ers out of the way. That 0 portun- ity offered itself‘ in 1657. w en his father fell sick, and his warlike sons contested the privilege of the regency. Aurungzebe at once organized a Conâ€" vention of religious exhortersâ€"a .re- vival, as we would call it, and publishâ€" ed a manifesto adjuring his friends to avoid the horrors of a civil war, but at the same time taking care to circu- late rumors calculated to inflame the passions of the rival pretenders. As for himself, he assured the public be had no worldly ambition; the crown he coveted was a spiritual one, and if he did assemble an army it was only for the purpose of aiding any one of the brothers who should join him in his efforts to preserve the peace. Murad. the youngest of the four, did take the bait, and was kept in check by means of forged bulletins till the two senior brothers had exhausted their forces in a. series of savage battles. Aurungzebe, who in the meantimehad athered re- cruits from all parts of t e country. then dropped his mask imprisoned Mur- ad. and attacked his two elder brothers with a suddenness that compelled their surrender. At the same time he cap- tured his father, who had somewhat recovered. and either by threats or bribes secured the allegiance of all the semi-independent Chieftains of North- ern India. He then .got up another " revival, and after givmg secret orders to murder his brothers published a cir- cular regretting the conjunction of cir- cumstances that obliged him to seize the reins of Government for the pre- servation of peace and in the interest of the true faith. An overruling Pro- vidence. he said. had ordained the death of his beloved. though frivolous, broth- er Murad, and prevented the succes- sion of impious Daraâ€"the first born, who. in fact, was a sort of freethinker. and had published a book intended to reconcile the doctrines of Brahmanism and Islam. Aurun zebe professed a creed compounded o Buddhist and Mo- hammedan dogmas. with mystic admix- tures of his own, and pretended to spend two or three hours of each day in his prayer room. Splendid religious ceremonies occupied the attention of the populace, while the pious ruler con- trived the assassination of some fifty- four of his political adversaries. and quickly poisoned HIS OW’N FATHER. In the massive east wing of his palace he had a torture chamber that he kept will filled with malcontents and visited in the intervals of his devotions. The only Euro n rival of that East~ ern paragon is he Chevalier Bayes, a French nobleman. who in 1439 was ar- rested under the strong suspicion of having kidna d and murdered half a hundred chil ren. and burnt at the stake after being convicted (by acourt‘ of by no means prejudiced judges) of forty-eight of the fifty-four astonishing charges. Giles de Laval. Lord of Bois- jean and Reyes, served his countryy in the war must the English invaders. and in 14 was made Marshal of France, but. soon after bad to be ar-. reigned on a charge of cruelty unheard? of. even in that era of military despot- ism. He was accused of having mutil-. ibecn lured to the castle and s iritcd of Reyes. in the neighborhmd of Nantes a twenty miles further south his brother. Dernis. cultivated belles-lettrcs as abbot of a wealthy monastery. and in 1437 this brother was amazed to learn that the rustics of Raves had risen en mass and besieged the castle of the ex-Marshal. Fifty, according to oth~ era. nearly a hundred children. some of them of the next neighborhood. had awayâ€"murdered probably and uried under the vaults of the cellar dungeons. and built aout seventy years ago. The Possrbly they were stil confined in the tower of the old burgh. whence HORRIBLE SHRIEKS had more than once been heard by am- ateur detectives who had contrived to approach the castle under cover of dark- ness. The accomplished abbot. ridiculed both theories. He knew the ferocious tern- per of brother. but he also knew the superstitions and bugbearâ€"making pre- Judice of the ntry. and promptly appealed to Nantes for militar assist- ance. The stadt-holder of the uke of Brittany did collect a few hundred pikemen and dispatched them to Bayes. but wrth an unexpected result. In- stead of dispersing the insurgents the leaders of the relief party can ht the infection of the feverish exci ement. and after a council of war a reed to compel the surrender of the c evalier. and at all events prevent his escape, but protect his person and give him a fair chance to refute the frightful charges. But for the meddlin zeal of his brother the Chevalier wou d have effected his escape durin the first dark night, but the ne-en orceinent of the besi ers obliged him to change his plan an surrender to the commander of the Nantes detachment. Possibly he had counted on the chance of bribing his way out. of the death trap, but, as in the Holmes case. the waves of popu- lar indignation ran too high; the jail- ers, in‘fearm. their own lives. redoublâ€" led their Vigi ance, and the prisoner’s :servants were arrai ned before the tribunal of Nantes. {e was defended by counsel of his own choosing. had the Icourt's and a wealthy brother's assist- .ance in summoning and desired witâ€" ;nesses..but nevertheless was convicted _of havmg kidnaped more than forty ‘childmn and tortured them to death.

A HORSELESS OMNIBUS. hid Cnrlons Vehicle Used In England Success fully About Seventy Years Ago. The horseless omnibus was invented and built about seventy years ago. The motive power was steam. and, as will be seen, the vehicle had a considerable carrying capacity. It was known as an auto-car, which is not a very well selected name. It might better be called a “ horseless omnibus," after the anology of the homeless carriages of the present generation. The omnibus was used on the Pad- dington Road, runnin out of London. For some time it crea ed reat considâ€" ation along the roadway. ut was very I _ The engine. boiler and y furnace were in the rear, and were all attended to by one man. The steering ‘ was done by a guide or pilot, who pre- ‘sidedpver a horizontal wheel in front. It is not known why the managers abandoned the scheme of running all t a certain that this is the only one of its kind ever used. It is very probable that the science of economy of coal storing and of weight had much to do With the matter. The vehicle was sim- iply a forerunner of the locomotlvc pretended to hecdl [which was merely a steam omnibus running along rails. â€"â€"â€"â€"..._.._____ Hammer Worked by Flea Power.
