THE CZAR'S FAMILY.
Present Great War Has Greatly Bene-
fited Them.
The war has made a great differ-
ence to the Russian royal family. In
the days before the war the Czarina
lived in constant dread of her husband
and children being assassinated and
could scarcely bear them out of her
sight. Indeed, so ill did she'"become
with worry that to please her the
great ballroom at the Winter Palace
in Petrograd was turned into a bed-
room for the whole family, in order,
to quote the Czarina, that in the case
of an outrage they "might all die to-
gether."
That is all changed now, however,
The Czarina cheerfully said "good-
bye" to her husband when he went to
take his place at the head of his
armies, and she and her daughters
are working indefatigably on behalf
of the wounded. The Czarina has no
time for morbid worrying and is con-
sequently in splendid health, and ie
one of the most energetic and hard-
working women in Russia.
The Russian Grand Duchesses are
charming and clever girls, and have
profited by the careful training of
their mother. The Grand Duchess
Olga is an excellent musician and the
Grand Duchess Tatiana paints like a
professional artist. Both sisters
speak several languages with equnl
facility, and both are very fond of
riding and of outdoor exercise. The
Empress likes her children to prac-
tise every kind of sport and to spend
as much time as they can in 'the open
air, .and she has tried to give them
an education on strict English lines,
like the one she received herself.
Willing To Drop It.
A prisoner was in the dock on a
serious charge .of stealing, and the
case having been presented to the
Court by the prosecuting barrister he
was ordered to stand up. "Have you
a lawyer?" asked the judge. "No,
sir." "Are you able to employ one ?"
No, sir." "Do you want a lawyer to
defend your .ease?" "Not particular,
sir." "Well, what do you proposeto
do about the case?" "We -1l -1l," wtti
