The Dowager Empress Has Com- pletely Shut Out the Young Czarina. The women of the highest Russian laristocrsay, from the Czarina herself dows, are devoting themselves tr the. aid of tho Red Cross Society, anc through their efforts many mil- lions of roubles have been raised for the sick and wounded in the Far Eas t. As the Czarina Dowager still holds th same position at the Russian Court as she held when Alexander It. was alive, there is no position there for the young Czarina to hold, no work for her to do, no duties for her to fulfil--she is, as it were, interloper in her own husband' house. This is a painful enough state of affairs for her when things are at peace with Russia; but it is infihitely worse now when the whole Empire is secthing with excitement, and the air is alive with the clamor of arms. She can do nothing, for whenever ehe tries, she is promptly told by the Czarina Dowager she has already arranged to do it. 'Then, if she per- sists, she is made to understand that her one duty in lifo is to. provide ussia with a Czarovitch, and that ntil this is accomplished the quieter e keeps herself and tho less she is or heard of the better: THE CZARINA, always accompanied by her* eldest sister, the Grand 'Duchess Elizabeth, wife of the Czar's uncle, has been making trips through the lower quar- ters of St. Petersburg, urging pat- riotism upon the poorer classes; ani an on.

Crew, the == known musician of this lates an experience that adds to the already great popularity of Dodd's Kidney Pills in this locality. "I suffered for years with Kidney Trouble,"' says Mr. Crow, "which be- came aggravated with every attack of cold and caused me much agony. The disease developed into Gravel when I was totally unfit for any- hing. "I tried different remedies with- out the desired result and was in much misery when I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills when to my astonishment and delight I immedi- ately began to recover. "After using five boxes the ailment had entirely ceased and I was again enjoying perfect vigor, all of which I owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills."' The fact that Gravel yields so read- ily to Dodd's Kidney Pills is good News indecd, as it does away those terrible operations that supposed to be the only relief this trouble. from calling on members of the aristocracy and the well-to-do in general to in- duce them to give up their old linen for wounded soldiers.

He is in his thirty-fourth year, and was educated for several years at the Roman Catholic College of Beaumont, close to Windsor Cas- tle. Don Jaime holds an ensign's commission in the famous Gradno regiment of Hussars, of the Russian Bodyguard, and is looking forward keenly to sceing active service.

The striking from the Cvzarina's Court list of the name of Princess Marya Michailovna Dashkoff for an innocent. remark, shows how scrious- ly the Czarina takes her duties in connection with the war. When Prin- cess Dashkotf! was asked, like all other court women, to join the sew- ing class, she consented; but re- marked to a lady of honor that she would prefer to hire twenty seam- stresses, who would do more work than all the Czarina's two thousand aristocrats. This observation was retailed to the Czarina, who forth- with put the Princess on the black- list. The incident created sotmme secn- sation, as the Princess belongs to one of the best-known families of the higher Russian nobility. Large numbers of educated young women of the better classes are seek- ing to obtain employment as nurses in the army. [ach applicant is in- by the prospects held out. The soci- ety has been obliged to decline thou- of requests for enrolment. The r | Russian public is greatly touched iby these evidences of patriotism on ithe part of the women, and the re- sult will be a much larger measure of freedom for women in future. Rus- sian women already enioy more lib- erty than the women of any coun- try except the Anglo-Saxon, and the result is that in times of nation- al danger they comport themselves with great heroism. The part they played at the siege of Sebastopol WILL EVER BE REMEMBERED. It is not only among the aristo- crats that this outbreak of patriotic charity manifests itself. Matilde Kschensky, MRussia's favorite ballet dancer, has left -St. Petersburg, ithrowing up her profitable engage- ments, and has volunteered and gone to the seat of war as a Red Cross 'nurse. Not only this, but she is jtouring the country on tho way, ldancing to houses packed to their ca- i pro- performance to the to |benefit of the Red Cross Society. ° Another popular favorite, the sing- er Labunskaia, is proving her patri- otism. She is one of the prettiest singers of chunsonettes in Mussia, and also is making a striking tour of her native country, which began at Perm, a little of the Ural Mountains.
