After the murder of Alexander,
however, the Russian Nihilists ad-
dressed a memorandum to his son,
Alexander in witioll they promis-
ed to abstain from further acts of
violence if he would concede thena a
national assembly, modelled some-
what upon the lines of the British
Parliament. This was a distinctly
healthy depaxture from the broad
lines of anaxoby. Unfortunately,
however, nothing came of it; and Rus-
sian Nihilism, albeit momentarily
quiescent, is stilt a pewee to be reck-
oned with.
The other European Anarchical so-
cieties have hitherto failed to show
similar signs of grace. Their work
has been written in ghastly letters of
blood aeross the history of the Con-
tinent. We in England, have only been
free from their outrages on account
of the protection.
WHICH SOHO HAS AFFORDED
their fugitives, and our national dis-
inclination to interfere with liberty of
speech. Elsewhere they have been
less amenable.
In Spain, for instance, there have
been the Barcelona outra.ges, the first
on November 7,1893, when a bomb(
thrown from the gallery of the Liceo
Theatre killed 20, and maimed up-
wards of 100 poor victims; and again,
on June 7,1896, when a similar out-
rage killed 15, and wounded 40 child
members of a religious procession.
Then, too, the strong hand. with which
the Premier, Senor Canovas, punished
this fiendish act was rewarded by the
bullet of Golli, who assassinated that

You take ship and. go to some other

TO STUDY THE OCEAN.
Germany, with its usual thorough-
ness, is bent on systematically ar-
ranging the knowledge likely to ac -
cure from its development as a sea
power. Emperor William has ordered
established at Berlin an institute for
the study of the ocean. At this center
materials already annuired will be col-
lected, and coneiderable additions are
expected to be made to the knowledge
of the marine physic's, chemistry and
natural history-,
this, the sufferer being careful to
keep out of tiler sun far a day or two,
will usually suffice.
If blisters form, they should be
pricked with a clean needle at the
most dependent part, and. when the
water has drained away they should
be covered wtih a cloth spread with
one of the greasy applications just
mentioned.
Freckles occur usually on persons of
e sandy complexion, especially those
with red hair. They are not com-
mon in very young children, under 6
or 8 years of age or in persons of
middle or advanced life. They usu-
ally come for the first time in sUrnq
mer, and are less marked, or even
disappear in witober. Persons who
freokle do not tan as a rule.
Freckles, like sunburn, may be pre-
vented by the wearing of a veil, pre-
ferably red or brown. 1VIedical books
sometimes speak of removing fx•eokles
by electricity or by touching eaoh one
with a amp of carbolic acid 011 a

are worse than the disease. The spots
will fade out morel or less completely
in the winter and will disappear whol-
ly in time. Ls any case they are not
particularly disfiguring.
