The Empress Eudoxia, Peter the; Great and Maj. Gleboff. An uncouth giant. a beautiful young patrician and a kind-hearted officer formed an unusual and striking tri- angle in the dawn of the ecighteenth century. The uncouth giant was Peter the Great; the patrician, the Empress Y.udoxia, Lis wife, and the officer, Maj., Gleboff, whose name would 1ave passed Into obscurity if it were not for the part he played in the life of the empress. Poter the First, surnamed “The Great,” was one of the founders of the Russia that was a tremendous force in the history of the world, but 48 & man he descended to unbeliev- « able depths of hatred, cruelty and dis- sipation. The czar had the nature and tastes of & peasant and hated Anything that savored of the refined. He mixed among his people, worked with them at manual labor, and also joined them in drunkén carousing. He reccived diplomate in a short <hirt, with his hose slopping over his feet. He could be seen on th streets at times ciad in the filthiest olothes, and his large bulld, great strength and fearsome temper magni- fled every uncongenisl quallty in him. He could be truly regarded as the personification of one of the terrible, “Just Hats” By Vyvyan Hat Trimming Matches Suit.

To a man of Peters inclinations a woman like Eudoxia was gall, and within a year after his marriage he dispatched her to a convent to pass twenty years of her life in a loneiy, friendless exist¥nce. Peter later took to his bosom & kitchen maid, formerly a camp fol- lower, who fascinated him because of the neat way in which she kept the kitchen of a friend. It was she who became the famous Catherine, ele- vated by Peter, in spite of the shock- of his country, to the 12 Confined in_her solitary ocell at the convent, Eudoxia suffered every deprivation.” She had not enough to eat or clothes sufficient to keep her warm through the intense cold of & Russian winter and she had to to friends for neoe comforts. One of those friendly persons who took compassion upon the fortunate queen was Maj. His kindness aroused in Eudoxia a fondness which soon developed into a passion, though she knew he was a married man and ghe was nominally the wife of Peter. In time Glebo! either became fearful of the conse- quences of keeping up his relations with Eudoxia or his interest cooled, for he stopped coming to her. Then followed the letters from Eudoxia to Gleboft which were to bring the lat- ter to a horrible death at the hands of Peter. The following excerpts are from these letters: “Where thy heart is, dear one, mine is also; where thy tongue is, there my head; thy will is also mine. 4 My light, my soul, my joy, has the hour of _separation come ? ow can I endure exist- ence? ~ Rather would I gee my soul parted from my body. ~God alone knowe how dear thou art to me.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D., Noted Physician and Author. Misapplied Sanitary Precautions. The modern practice of sanitation|T. still includes too many extravagant and useless rites. The experience of well protected |communities over a period of many !years 'has provea beyond question that terminal fumigation has no posi- tive value in the prevention of the|j spread of such diseases as scarlet tever, diphtheria and smallpox, vet some communities are spending good money for this useless rite. Not only is It useless, but rather dangerous in flect, bec: ignorant persons im- agine’ that once an apartment has been fumigated there is no longer any need for care to prevent the spread of diseases, whereas the most efficient fumigation of the sickroom or the entire apartment or dwelling.does not warrrant any such assurance. Dis- ease is spread by persons, or at least by animate carriers: and, of course, fumigation has no effect on the real agencies of infection. egulations or ordinances dealin with the sanitary precautions whicl undertakers must use in the disposal of the body of one deceased of a con- tagious or infectious disease place an unwarranted burden of expense on the shoulders of the bereaved family and add not one iota of safety to the publio in any way whatsoever.

Black Puss: the Cat, glaring angrily up at Spooky the Screech Owl as he sat in an apple tree with the young Mouse in his claws, sald that it was her Mouse. Spooky, glaring down at Black Pusey, said that it was his Mouse. As for the young Mouse himself, he sald nothing at all. He hung there limp and appafently lifeless. Black Pussy’'s tail twitched back and forth with anger. Spooky's hooked bill snapped with anger. The yellow eyes of both glared with an- ger. Black Pussy growled. Spooky hissed. Each called the other a rob- ber and & thief, and all the other bad names to be thought of. Now, Spooky was not sitting very high up in that apple tree. Black Pussy wasn't afraid of him. He was too small to be afraid him. Had it been Hooty the Great- horned Owl in Spooky's place, Black Pussy wouldn't have even stayed to quarrel.
