THE CZAR’S CAR IS SHOT PROOF.
A Ruler Whn Travels Continually Be¬
tween Two files of SoMiers.
When the czar travels in Russia the
precautions taken for his safety could
not be greater if he were in an enemy’s
country. A battalion of infantry is de¬
tailed for every two miles oi distance,
and allowing 500 ruen as the effective
force of each battalion, every spot of
ground on both sides of the track is
covered by sentinels within easy dis¬
tance of each other. The czar is sud¬
denly whirled off to the station, ac¬
companied by the chosen twelve of his
body guard without pomp or circum¬
stance, swiftly and silently. The czar
always travels in ar train of five car¬
riages. His carriage is built in a pe¬
culiar style.
The windows, while ample for light,
are high, so that a person sitting down
is invisible from the outside, and the
sides of the car are fortified with plates
of steel concealed in the ornamental
woodwork, but strong enough to resist
a bullet. There are two sentry boxes
in the carriage, one at each end, and
each looking out at an opposite side
from the other.
The guardsmen on duty in these
apartments are shut in from any ob¬
servation from the interior of the car¬
riage, but at intervals of about two
feet, the whole length of the saloon, are
electric buttons, communicating with
the guard chambers, as well as with the
two carriages, one containing the suite,
and the other, in the rear, occupied by
the guardsmen not ou duty. So far,
therefore, as the train itself is con
cerfted, the czar could be no more se¬
cure in St. Petersburg.
The train speeds on to its destination
without a halt, except on account of
accident. At a distance of not less
than five miles ahead is a pioneer traiu,
in which the imperial director of rail
ways and the chief engineer of the par¬
ticular railway ou which the czar is
traveling always ride, As the pilot
train whizzes by the reserves along the
line rush to arms and guard the tracks
of the railway, waiting until the impe¬
rial train has passed, so that the spec¬
tacle is presented of continuous lines of
soldiery for hundreds of miles. Ar¬
rived at the end of his journey, the
czar is escorted to the quarters intended
for the imperial family.
The streets are guarded by special
constables, in the attire of citizens.
Every property owner has been called
upon to supply one or more of these
men at his own expense to do duty
when the sovereign makes a public ap¬
pearance. The constables average one
in ten of the crowd that throng the
streets, and being in ordinary dress
they can mingle with the people, note
what is said, and, perhaps, do some¬
thing that will obtain them regular
employment among the secret police.
With one-tenth the population en¬
gaged as spies upon the remainder,
with troops enough concentrated to
stand a formidable siege and his faith¬
ful guardsmen dogging every step, the
czar goes through the forms of a visit
to the ancient capital of Russia, or
whatever city he may choose to honor.

One Policeman’s Power.
The Paris prefect of police is today
the most unaccountable and the most
powerful man in France. His functions
are highly varied. He controls not
only the ordinary police that patrol the
streets and keep order, but also the
detectives and officers who constitute
the “police judiciaire,” and who work
up criminal cases. Besides these, he is
master of the political police—the
government’s secret ageirts—and he
has in his hands a secret service fund
to spend unaccountably except as
regards his immediate superior, the
minister of the interior.
His department covers the mainte¬
nance of order everywhere in streets
and public places, the punishment of
misdemeanors, the inspection of weights
and measures, the organization of im¬
portant life saving and sanitary services,
authority to permit or to forbid public
spectacles, licenses of numerous sorts—
such as omnibuses and cabs and river
steamers—the regulation of certain
trades and callings, and, in general, the
control of a great number of services
that affect the security of life and
property, the public health and the
convenience of a great community.—
Dr. Albert Shaw in Century.
A Russian Baby’s Cradle.
In Russia a cradle L used, contrived
rudely as to both structure and motion.
It is an oblong box or wicker basket,
with a cord from each of its four cor
tiers converging to tire hook or the
rafter from which it is hung, and with
a looped cord underneath, in which the
mother puts her foot to swing her baby.
In winter—which in Russia is long and
severe—the cradle? or sometimes the
hammocks in which the youngest chil¬
dren sleep, are slung around the great
stove upon which the parents and other
adult members of the family [rass the
night, wrapped in their sheepskins.—

Kelter in this part of the country
means lumber, rubbish, litter, but more
particularly worthless lumber which is

1 have heard it used all my life. It is
quite a common word. Old boxes,

Notes and Queries.
Due to Near SighteUness.
“My social blunders,” said a near
sighted won an recently, “would till a
book. Not long ago at an evening re¬
ception my hostess’presented me to a
lady whom, having heard of before, I
was specially pleased to know. We
talked together some time, and then
drifted apart. Later, in another room,
I saw standing near me a guest whose
features I thought I recognized, but
whose identity I could riot place. As
she was disengaged, I approached her
in my blind way and said, ‘Your face
is very familiar to me; where have 1
met you before!’ Imagine my conster¬
nation when she replied promptly and
with a justifiable curtness, ‘Fifteen min¬
utes ago in the front drawing room.’
She was my just acquired acquaint¬
ance."—Her Point of View in New York

A Cat Setting on Eggs.
A cat story conies from Bridgeport,
Conn. Mike is a brindle puss belong¬
ing to Miles B. Ferris. Twenty eggs
packed in sawdust were standing in the
window of Mr. Ferris’ saloon, when
Mike took it into his head to go to sleep
on them. Every attempt hits been
made to drive him away from the box,
and every inducement in the way of
soft beds was offered to him, but he
persists in lying on those eggs all day,
only leaving them long enough to eat
and drink. Next week the period of
Incubation will have expired. What
Mike will do with his brood if he is
successful is an interesting question.
But perhaps he knows what he is about,
and is hatching them for his own
especial benefit. —Cor. New York Sun.
