Nicholas 11, emperor and autocrat of all the Russians, king of Poland and grand duke of Finland, to our faith!ul sub jects make known that Russia, relat ed by faith and blood to th* Slav peo ple, has never regarded their fate with indifference. “But the fraternal sentiments of the Russian pegj*Je Tor the Slavs have been awakened with perfect unani mity and extraordinary force in these last few days when Austria-Hungary knowingly addressed to Servia claims inacceptatle for an indepemlent-state. “Having paid no atteniion tcrpacif ic and conciliatory reply of the Servian government an i having re jected the benevolent intervention o: Russia, Austria-Hungary made haste to .proceed to an armed attack and began.to bombard Belgrade, an open place. “Forced ov the situation thus created to take necessary measures of precau tion we ordered the army and the navy put on a war footing, at thu same time using every endeavor to obtain a peaceful solution.

She still exerts her far-reaching - and tremendous in fluence from within over the struc ture of society. Her ideals are still postulated by George Eliot: "high veracity, delicate honor in her deal ings, deference to others, and refined personal habits." The progress of her gradual effacement is something that can be read only on the dial of the generations. Loath as the world of poetry and romance may be to lose her, pathetic as is her fate in the rising floods of democracy, her loss, nevertheless, is attended by a certain very definite gain. Both mentally and physically, the race may profit. Tho decline of the gentlewoman Is hailed with particular joy by those feminists who believe that the ideal relation of the sexes should be based upon com radeship. Should our romantic, Christian civi lization. now slowly being effemina tlzed. evolve my degrees into a paeV or classic one—for which portents aTld auger!e-s and even historical analogues are not wanting—it is possible that woman may lose far more than she has gained. A race of women delib erately divesting if»elf of those physi cal lures and beauties which serve a natural purpose, a race of women striving for a great and increasing share in the work and business of the outer world, would necessarily have an enormous effect upon the nature, attitude, and activities of the male. It is possible tha-t man’s inherent hunger for power and adventure may take other forms, perhaps that of a masculine cut of strength, and beauty, partaking of a newer, purified Hellen ism and in accordance with the natu ral advantages and ascendancy of the male animal. Women—drab, utilitari an. and self-divested of those artifi cial or acquired beauties by which she has cleverly thw'arted nature's Inten sion of making her the less berfutiful sex—may again, should she fall to ap peal to man's sexual or esthetic nature, sink into a subordinate place. Or this may be brought about through the gradual usurpation of the occupations of nun by the increasing number of so-called neuter women, already so ac tive in the world as the slaves of me chanical routine.—Herman Scheftliur in The North American Review.
