The amnesty, however, should now herald a period of less petti- ness -and suspicion. Public opinion abroad certainly does not favor Royalist conspiracies, and from to- day it will condemn them with es- pecial severity. Further, the Roy- alists themselves are beginning to realize that their wisest course is to let the republic entirely alone. They regard it as a clique based on the indifference of the country, a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as bo, such it may be left to work out its own salvation.

Bikorsky's giant biplane, Tlya louromets, makes flights oy over St. Petersburg and its envi rons. It has flown for one and a half hours, carrying sixteen per- sons. Seen from below, it seems to ide the air without any of the roll Tor pitch that is noticeable in' the esser machines. The biplane is at present propelled by four motors '100 horsepower each, placed on each side of the fuselage, two in front and two behind. M. Sikorsky intends to fit on a fifth 100 horse- power motor, and thus increase the speed. : The Ilya Mouromets, so named af- ter a legendary hero, has a wing area five times "that of the ordinary Farman biplane. The 'metal fuse- lage is 65 feet long. The forepart of the fuselage contains a number of cabins extending over a length of 28 feet. The cabins have large windows on both sides, and also Sondows in the foes dor observa- lon and photographic purposes. At fight the caliins are lif by electyi- city. On the' roof of 'the cabins there is a platform. > The total weight of the aeroplane is 8% tons. With a total develop- 'ment of horsepower of 400 the Ilya Mouromets raises a total useful weight of a little over 1 ton 14 cwt., besides neanly 8 cwt. of fuel and oil. "The mechanics can move about free- parts of the machine without dis- turbing the equilibrium of the aero- plane while in flight. arms es ce NO NOBILITY FOR HAECKEL. Philosopher Rejects Right Given'to Him on 80th Birthday. One of the tributes to Haeckel on his eightieth birthday was the grand cross of the Ernestine Order, given. to him by the Dukes of Saxe- Meiningen,. Saxe-Altenburg and Saxe-Gotha. It happens: that this ordér "carries with it, the right to hereditary nobility if the 'decorated cards to claim the right.e The German press has been won- dering what Haeckel, one of the leaders of Liberal opinion, would do. . He bas settled the agitation by a letter, in which he says: "Of course, I am not going to put in any such claim, like my grandfather Sethe, who, when seventy years ago he was given the Black Eagle by Frederick William 1V.; also "re- nounced hereditary nobility." Sethe "was a distinguished jurist in the early days of the nincteenth century, who on one occasion fell foul of Napoleon. Haeckel's friends are delighted with his dignified stand against a snobbishness which is at least as common nowadays in Germany as in England. MARRIED IN A HOSPITAL. Just After Bridegroom Had Under- gone an Operation, A marriage of an unusual nature took place in Broadstone 'Jubilee Hospital, = Port-Glasgow, between James Dick, plumber, Port-Glas- gow, and Helen Burns, Greenock. Scotland. The marriage had been arranged to take place in the Vie- toria 'Stréet Hall, Greenock, and for that purpose the proclamations had been gent to the registrar.

The first woman to take up the Diplomatic Bervice as a profession has just been appointed at Chris- tiania, Miss Henrietta Hoegh, a pretty woman of twenty-seven, is now First Secretary of Legation at the Norwegian Legation in Mexico. She passed her examinations in in- ternational law and political econ- omy two years ago. As a First Sec- retary she will have the privilege of wearing the usual diplomatic uni- form, with the exception of the or- namental sword and gold-braided breeches. ------ i Rhodes No Dude. Cecil Rhodes was not much of a dresser. "When premier of Cape Colony, he usually wore a flannel suit which badly wanted cleaning and a dilapidated slouch hat. His successor in. office, Sir Gordon Sprigg, who wore 'a black | frock looat even in the hottest' weather, once made an effort to enforce tho wearing of "respectable" dark clothes in the Cape Parliament. But Rhodes would not have it. He said in parliament that if he could not help to legislate in comfortable clothes he would not help at all, and he thought that members would agree with him. They did. --t The Origin of a Fad. Marcella, who had been gazing out of the window, suddenly began to laugh hysterically. "What in the world is the mat- ter, child " asked her mother. "When I finished my carpet rug," Marcella explained. 'I folded it across my lap and carried it that way down the street to show it to Rosemary." "Well, what of it?' "That was only three days ago," gasped Marcellz, with a renewed outburst of merriment, "and now nearly every girl in the block is wearing a carpet-rag muff." In Doubt. An insurance agent was filling out an application blank. ; '""Have you ever had . appendici- tis?' he asked. '""Well,"' answered the applicant.

As this account gives the impression of a personal experience, it has been thought by some scholars that Luke received the account from Cleopas. : Emmaus--The exact location of this village, rendered immortal be- cause of this narrative, is not cer- tainly known. Josephus speaks of an Emmaus sixty furlongs from Jerusalem which was inhabited by a colony of Titus' soldiers, but com- mentators differ as to its location. 18. Their eyes were holden that - they should not know him--The tra- vellers were preoccupied and blind- ¢ ed by their sorrow, and were not expecting to see Jesus. The ap- pearance of Jesus may also have been changed, to what extent we cannot tell; but certainly the weariness and anxiety of the 'last day had disappeared, * The Bympathetic Companion. 18.

And certain of them that were with us--This probably refers to the visits of Peter and John. Cleopas and his companion may have left Jerusalem without having heard that Mary Magdalene had seen him. See John 20. 3-10. The Comforting Companion. 25. Slow of heart to believe in all © that the prophets have spoken-- Christ's suffering and death had destroyed the hope of these disci- ples. Had they understocd the pro- phets it should have confirmed their hope. But, like most Jews, they remembered the promised glories of the Messiah and overlooked the predictions of his sufferings. 26. Behooved it not the Christ-- Was it not appropriate for him, according to the prophets. 27.
