Mr. Rothsay had several servants, and lived with a degree of quiet style in a house twice the size of Frank's. He rarely went to town, and passed a great deal of his time in the superintendence of a farm that covered about ten acres. He was a large man, with an iron-gray shock of hair, a gaunt shape on which dun? clothes that seemed the very extravagance of bad tailoring, and a pair of eyes that you saw. when they restlessly lit on you, to be a veiled, yet tiery hazel.

These were the six cities in Russia having more than 150,000 population each, according to the estimates made at that time. Hy the census just completed—the first regular census taken in Russia—it is seen that St. Petersburg has a population of 1,250,000 ar very little less than the city of Vienna, and more than Tokyo, Japan.

The modest little vegetable garden at the back of his house was separated from a large meadow of Rothsay's by only the most insecure of fences. Within this meadow the Rothsay's cows were left all day to gmze. and more than once they broke through into Prank's domain. The result, as usual in such cases, each time proved disastrous. Frank's man remonstrated with one of Rothsay's numerous men. and several times the fence was repaired. But in so slovenly and haphazard a way was this reparation performed that one particular little short-horned cow with a wicked black eye found slight difficulty in committing fresh pranks of demolition. And at last Frank determined to see Mr. Rothsay and settle the matter, if he could, both amicably and permanently. £ very speedily cnmo to a different conclusion. A young limn can least of all profit no good taste in dress, no matter how general a foolish fad may tieeome. Ho is always being judged hy some one older than himself, and many a business man judges a young man's character hv his dress. The colored shirt of violent color or design is not the young llmn's friend. It is his enemy. He doesj not impress peoplo with his good taste by wearing it. On the contary, lie shows the weakness in his character of u tendency to unwise imitation. The quiet, gentlemanly garb is his, and ho should adhere to it.

"that you are never just your real self except when you're with me." One of the segte' rVyns of the Spnnis'a army forbids the taking cf photographs without a permit. For a shot at a formication with tho camera the penalty is espocially severe. Nevertheless it is the universal testimony of American newspaper correspondents that while traveling in Cuban camera is a better protection than a passport. This is because no nationality is fonder of posing in uniform before the lens. The Spaniard, ollieer or soldier, writes \V. 11. Stevens in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, never misses a chance to be "taken." Permission to photograph a fort will be refused with a very positive shake of the head, but a request, to be allowed to snap the garrison drawn up with the fort us a background is always met with smiling acceptance. A captain or a lieutenant will turnout his command and put ft in any position suggested if he learns that a picture is wanted. If a susjiect or a real insurgent is brought into camp, the, detachment which has made the capture will enter heartily into a plan to pose in a way to reproduce tho scene of Its efficiency. The prisoner will lie brought out and made to kneel while the soldiers and the officer in charge of them take positions. On one occasion the whole scene was reproduced in such realistic manner that the jtoor prisoner clapped his hands upon his eves and for a few moments underwent all of the mental torture Soft and delicate lightweight silks fig ured with a tiny dot on satin of a contrasting color are made into charming toilets with bodice cut down in corselet style and completed by a guimpe of sheer India silk or shirred silk batiste. s j. % rv'-: Then Adela's blue eyes would kindle, and perhaps she would remain meaningly silent, perhaps she would jjentlv answer: "So tan# as that is true, Frauk, I've no reason for complaint." The next largest European city «rit»r St. Petersburg is Constantinople, the population of which has always been somewhat conjectural, for a detailed enumeration of its inhabitants has never been made, and, moreover, the number of transients in Constantinople Is at all times considerable. The second largost city of Russia is Moscow, the population of which was returned by tho recent census us within a small fraction of the million mark— 997,937. Moscow is a much older city than St. Petersburg, and it was for many .years the chief city of Russiu, but that distinction belongs to it no longer; though, as may be seen, tho population of tho old Russian capital is largely on the increaso. The third largest city of Russia is Warsaw, with a population of 550,000, and Odessa is fourth, with a population of 350,000. Two Russian cities whSh have increased very largely are Kiev and Lodz in Poland. Fifteen years »go the population of Kiev was 120,000, hut it Is now 200,000. Fifteen years ago the population of Lodz was 110,000; it is now 150,000. Nineteen Russian cities are returned as having upward of loo.otK) inhabitants each. Thirty-flva cities in the empire have more than 50,- 000 population. Samarkand and Kokand occupy higher places in tho list than such ancient and important couters as Tyer, Kursk and Poltava.

Most of these are made with open fronts and a blouse or vest, the fronts turned back with pointed revers. Still it nettled Frank a little to think that people should imagine his wife dull and uncompanionable. He waf himself the soul of vivacity and liveliness; a young, athletic fellow, with a short, dark curling beard, eyes that were black stars and a smile that could somehow warm your heart before you heard his voice, lie used to say of himself that he was by instinct a loafer but by profession a Wall street stockbroker. though it was reported of him that his proceedings among the purlieus of hazard implied anything rather than laziness.

"Dress cheerfully. At 20 we need notdress as if we were 50. There is a happy medium between tho black tio and the violent cravat of rainbow hue. That is where good tasto comes in, and a young mun must exercise it. The colored shirt is possible for him, but within limitations. The pin dot or stripe is not, offensive. On the. eontary, it is becoming. Rut brilliant cravats, fancy waistcoats, loud and large 'checks' in clothes and extreme colors in shirts are not for the young man of taste, refinement or (if future standing. Vor are they one whit in better taste for tho man of mature years. They are offensive and bespeak the man who affects them." A cream serge suit is equally satisfactory to nine out of ten women, blond or brunette, who select it for dressy demidress uses. The various silk blouses, vests or shirt waists worn en suite with the jacket vary its effect wonderfully. CI.A8PING HER HUSBAND'S NECK WITH BOTH A KM 8. "I'm glad of that. Tell me. Adela, does he look like me or like you?" He called upon his next-door neighbor one morning before going into town. He had heard that Rothsay was given to occasional fits of intemperance, and felt therefore not quite so surprised as he might otnervvise have been to find him pacing the floor of a rather vulgarly-furnished sitting-room with bloodshot eyes and a morose mouth. Still, whatever may have happened on the previous evening, he was by no means in his cups now. Hut he chose to treat Frank very uncivilly about the In the exhibit of simple but elegant French goods of the season, the black and white silks and satins, sheer wool fabrics, grenadines, etc., the striped silk and wool materials, which impart length and slenderness to the figure, are in great favor.— New York Post.

So Adela sat there, building her little castle of hope, when Frank suddenly appeared and demolished it as though it had been a child's house of cards. Miss Havwurd says: The 'coronation roll" is wonderfully and curiously complete. It sets down every detail with minuteness and elaboration. The "coronation roll 'of Qneen Victoria is like tho roils of all her predecessors since flic time of Hiciuird II—a huge. Iiulky roll of parchment.

Certain things had happened during that tmvn life of theirs which had bitten indelibly into poor Adela's memory. There had been evenings—there had also been a fe«v midnights—wheD Frank had come home as he would not have cared to see himself could he have done so with a sober gaze. To Adela these episodes had been fraught with an almost delirious horror. In vain Frank bad told her that what had happened to him happened to hundreds ol other men.

Only once in such journeying did the little black l«Dx f:»il as a friend maker with the S]ianish troops. That was during a visit to n camp of roconcentrados.

He dearly loved her, and at length made her a solemn vow that he would never touch wine again; for, although days of perfect self-control would enter by protracted periods into his life, he would be sure sooner or later to cross that boundary which divides continence from excess. But even this promise, after awhile, lost its potency. One day. feeling rather jaded and ill, he took stimulant, "just as a medicine," and that which had now become the unusualness of the draught provoked sudden and strong craving for more. Adela suffered anguish once again, and Frank made no concealment of his bitter repentance. Adela slowly rose from her husband's side. Frank rose, too. and stared at her wonderingly, because sh" had grown of a sudden so unaccountably pale. That evening was exquisite, and she sat on the piazza until the heavens had become whitely thronged with stars. By degrees she grew more and more concerned about Frauk. Nino o'clock changed into ten. and yet he did not return. Finally she decided to visit the hotel grounds herself: they were only a very short distance off.

At the same time he told his wife that complete abstinence would not, in his case, by any means prove possible. He had hosts of business and club friends who were forever tempting him: there were certain times, in fact, when for him to drink nothing would amount to an uncivil act; he had thought the whole matter carefully over, and there was only one thing for him to do. "They are the same in a matter of this sort among gentlemen—always," returned Frank, feeling his nerves tingle, as he spoke.

She could not be quite.sure, but certain words almost convinced her. Soon afterward she recognized Rothsay, and then she became aware that a bitter quarrel was in progress. And oh. it was so horrible to see the drunkenness of Frank! He scarcely bore any resemblance to his former self, and yet the likeness, after all, was unmistakable. His face had a bloated look; his eyes rolled wildly; he tripped and stumbled. Adela felt as if her heart would break. She wanted t~D cry out. but dared not. Then again it seemed to her that she had the courage but not the power. "Our little one. Adela —" She lifted her head and stared into his eager eyes.
