Streets of Paris Fairly Abristie With
This Coeuettlah Invention of th

England — Some Adolent Lore
About Recent Fashionnt Revival.
Ruffs are "in" again.
Crinoline is only "coming," but ruffs
are here.
Once more the streets of Paris bris-
tle with this coquettish invention of
tne Renaissance, modified to suit the
siltnpler costumes of our day. Every
eteetty lane upon the boulevards, and
many a one that has no claim to
:beauty, peeps at the world from out
of a soft bewilderment of filmy rut-

Sings.
One change, especially, has come
with the changing centueies. Now any
one of any social class feels privileged
to wear what once was a badge of
wealth and social power. The shop-
siri is as much befrilled as is my lady.
The little democrat from across the
sea outrivals the haughty dame of the
French nobleese in the rich elegance
of her ruchings.
Many ruffs have come and gone in
Paris since catberine de Medic's first
brought them thither from Florence
with her weddliag outfit To -day, as
then, there are ruffs of various sorts,
some narrow, some wide, some coarse,
some fine, some crisp and fluted, some
eoft and clinging. But time has weed-
ed out the more fantastic patterns and
left the riffs a dainty and becoming
piece of neckwear.
The original!, ruff, worn by that
blackbird, Cathikrine was eothing but
a simple gorget of plain material, with
round stiff folds that encirclethe
throat, reaching from ear to Collar-
bone. Formal of shape and harsh te
the neck, it was regarded, -not as adf
aid to beauty but as a sige of inward
grace, an evidence of mddesty and
strength of character. It Was as aue-
tere as the manners of Charles IX.'s
court.
With the acceseion of Henry III.,
"king wonian and man queen," the
ruff came into the heritage of folly,
which influenced its later destiny.

Advice For the Sickroom.
Never enter a sickroom in al state
of perspiration (to remarn for any
time), for when the body becomes cold
it is in a state likely to absorb the in-
fection; nor visit a sick person, if the
complaint bo of a contagious -nature,
with an empty stomach. In attending
a slek person; do 'not stand between
the sick persoa and any fire that paY
be in the roo , as the heat of the fire
will draw the infectious vapor in that

M. • Constantine Petroviteh Pobie-

Czar granted a constitution to the
Empire. .
M. Constantine Petroviteh Pobie-

1827. Ile was educated at the School
of few, in St. Petersburg, and enter-
ed the public service as an official in
one of the Moscow departments of the
Senate.
From 1860 to 1865 he was professor

University, and it is interesting to
note that while in thee capacity he in-

tration. In 1868 he became a Senator
in St. Petersburg, in 1872 a member
of the Council of the Empire, and in
1880 Chief Proeurator of the ° Holy
Synod. This post is practically the
connecting iink between the Russian
orthodox church and the Czar.
In- the early years of tlie reign of
Alenander II. there was a. strong move -

Although the reigns ef Henry IV.
and Louiei XIII. were marked by re-
turn to comparative simplicity in
dress, yet iarge ruffs till held their
own in popularity. Indeed. they in-

the more liberal ideas of, western
Europe, but M. Pobledonostself strong-
ly optiesed all the innovations, main-
taining that none of them would be
applicable to Russia and Russian
ideas. He always set his face steadily'
against parliamentary methods. of ad-
ministratime, modern judicial organ-
ization, trial- by jury, freedom of the
press and Inecular education.
Probably there was no man in Rus-
sia more cordially -detested by so many
people as M. Pabiedonostseff. He al-
ways opposed by every means in his
power any liberalization of the civil
or religious institutions of Russia, but
he was at least sincere. He believed
implicity that Russia was destined to
dominate the globe, and frequently
said :—"Russia is not a State; Russia
is a world."
For a quarter of a century M. Pobie-
donostseff dominated the Council! of
the Empire by his overwhehuing per-
sonality. None of the Ministers1 could
withstand the crushing force !of his
arguments, and his victories were
countless.

"What then?" asked Nelson.
"I can tell you no more," she re-
plied. "The book is closed."
After the battle of the ile, when
Nelson ;completed his fortieth year, the
prophecy came to his Mind,. Had the
book of life indeed closed for him?

when he went on his last Voyage, it

Country Life and Lunacy.
Those wbo view the, increase of in-
sanity with alarm are apt to attribute
the deplorable growth of lunacy to the
preesure of modern life and especially
the struggle for existence in great cit
les. They picture the simple country-
man living the "simple life" in reason-
able content and keeping a sound Mind
in a healthy body, while the dweller in
crowded areas succumbs to nervous
strain. Upon this picture the fifty-
ninth report of the commissioners in
lunacy, just published, turns the hard
light of facts. According to this sum-
mary of the year's records of insanity,
It is the countryraan who goes mad
soon.est on. the average, while the
much pitied townsman, in spite of
strain and competition, remains sane
enough to be called upon to look after
him. "There is no apparent -relation-

commissioners boldly declare. "Many

LARGER THAN A CRICKET.
The Creature a Tutor Described and
It Final /dentifieation.
One of he tutors at a great universn'
ty, according to the Dundee Advertiser,
Wrote to the leading newspaper of the
city to the ,following effect: "Walking
in the (luta' through the grounds of the
juniversity the other evening, my !at-
tention Was arrested by a low mur-
muring sound near me -svhich was nei-
ther a hisie nor a whistle. On looking I
new a creature lying on the ground,
larger than a cricket. Two antennae -
like proteberances projected above the
eyes. -It had no wings, and the cov-
ering 'itf it.s body was variegated,
though Certainly not like down. Mind -
rut of the elanger to myself, I did not
venture tolturn it on ite back se as to
. count the pgs. On the ground lay a
small qua itity of snow white sub-
stance whh evidently exuded from
the body. i'Can any of your readers
• )
identify thlucreature fuoim this imper-
feet desalton.?"1 The goverment etaturelist fell into
- -
the trap—b ited probably specially for
him. He Vqyate learnedly about vari-
ous insects and concluded that the one
observed ixt st be one. of two whose
long Latin Parnes he gave. The an-
tennae -like rotuberances are used for
burrowing li the ground, and these in-
sects secret a fluid which they have
the power o .ejecting to protect them-
selves in case of attack, The tutor
wrote again to thank the naturalist for
his information and to say he need not
trouble bim ifurther, as .he bad fortu-
nately obseryed the creature again
more closely !under exactly similar cir-
cumstances and was -able now to iden-
tify it himself as the Vacca valgaris,
