When the Princess Alexandra Sor butoff was presented flt the luxurious court of Catherine ll, two men had the most Influence lu the empire. One was Gregory Aloxandrovltch Potemkin, tho mighty minister, tho other l'rlnee Mott omoff, the handsome favorite of tho czarina. The gossiping world said that tho pretty eyes of the favorite hail just ns much snare in governing the laud of all Russians as tho great brain of tho fa mous statesman. The <|itlek eye of Prince Monoiuoff noticed nt once the extraordinary beau ty of Ibo new court lady, ami of course lt was only natural that so wide awake a statesman as Potemkin, whose less pretty hut nevertheless watchful eyes wore always open, couldn't help seeing nml admiring. Both men fell in love with tho young princess, and lu the ensuing ardent hut secret struggle for her love the czari na's favorite, Mouomoff, was tinnily tho more successful, Iii; been mo ibo devoted admirer of Ibo princess, and thu wiso Potemkin, knowing that bo was "nut in lt" any more, withdrew, burying his mallee In his diplomatic heart. Thanks to h's Intrigue, lin.- new love of Prince M ornum df now became known to the czarina, who, to avoid a scandal, ordered lier favorite to marry at once the ghi. Tim "punishment" was taken by tin; prince with resignation, which was only natural, knowing that the young princess was not only bewitchingly beautiful, but also enormously rich. The wedding took place with great pomp and ceremony. Tho young pair was overwhelmed with tho costliest presents, among which thu most valua ble was that of the czarina, lt was a large solitaire diamond. Its won drous lire had a beautiful color. Nothing marred the happiness of tho young couple, and their honey moon passed In Joy and pleasure. Once In a happy hour tin; young wife approached her loving husband with this Inquisitivo question: "Toll me, dear, what Is tho value of that largo diamond which von have on 1 your linger?" Monomoff looked upon the czarina's present and did not ll IIS wei' for awhile. "Tell me honestly, sweetheart," con tinued the princess, "how much was given for that stone?" "A kiss," thoughtlessly replied Mono muff. They both laughed al the Joke. "Won't you sdi it to mo? I will pny you double that much for lt." And the charming young woman demonstrated right away her generosity by allowing her husband to "help himself," and the price, two kisses, was willingly paid in fact, overpaid but of course thal is none of our business. "Alexandra, li' you value our lives you must not Iel] ol' this bargain to any one. Von know the czarina." "I ilo promise to you, (har, that no soul shall learn from mo Ilia prlco o? the diamond."

During the evening her most intimate friend, the Prin cess Orloff, had admired the sparkling gem ami (we mt'il remember that all this happened in Russia) Inquired a bon I its value, Princess Monomoff smilingly whis pered into lu i' rosy ears: "ll was given to my husband for a kiss. I gave him doulile the amount for it. Kui I said this only for you and lo no oin" else. Don't let ii p?o farther, or it may bring ns Into danger."

Tho princess lolls everybody that lt was ?hen to lier husband for a kiss, but she gave two for lt. After tho court ball, In the early morning, Prlnco and Princess Mono mbff retired, giving orders to their at tendants not to disturb them until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. lt happened, however, that hardly one hour after they wore rudely awak ened by somebody who executed a live ly tattoo on their bedroom door. "Who is that? Who daresY" called out Indignantly from their bedchamber tho sleepy prince. "His excellency the chief of police wishes to pay his respects." In Kassia every door must open be fore lids "sesame," and In tho next minute Prince MonomolT appeared In thi! half opened door. The chief of polit e was polite. "I must hog your pardon a thousand (lines, your excellency, bul I must dis turb yon ut this unseemly hour. I re gret it very IllUCh, but duly compels me lo do it. My most gracious czarina luis bid inc to deliver to you this order and also lo carry it ?int personally and wit holli delny. Knowing good man ners, 1 do not wish to Intrude Into tho Sleeping apartment of a lady, and I have brought with mc lady attendants to help me in executing it. I must beg your kind indulgence to allow these ladies to enter." Prince MonomolY threw a troubled look In thc direction of the "lady at tendants." who were lined up nicely In tho hall. They wet, all six feet high, very well built "ladies." They were all richly, although a little negligently, dressed. They wore very large French hats with large feathers, and their faces wen- thickly veiled. On their large hands the Uno Suede gloves near ly burstod. Hut tho most extraordi nary thing was that instead of a fan every "lady" had a rod of bindi In her hand. Thc chid' of police delivered his or der to tho prince, lt was a sweet little perfumed, rose colored billet doux con taining these words: "Um- kiss - otu; word, then women - hundred rods." MonomolY paled. The chief of police politely withdrew, and the "ladles" ad vanced in orderly steps. Two of thom tool; the arms of Monouioff, and all en tered Into the bedchamber and closed the door. W hat kind of a ceremony they per formed WO don't know positively, but one thing ls certain, that when they emerged again from thi- sanctum of the princely pair their rods were used up to a great degree.

A fragment of n curious volume lins fallen Into the hands of a loeal physi cian which graphically describes the methods of surgery ol' several centuries ago. When lt ls considered thal anaes thetics were unknown in those ancient days, the modus operandi ol' Um sur geon of the sixteenth century must ap pear startlingly cruel in the light of the present day. The work ls that of Ambrose Parey, who In 1570, being then tin: much fa mous "elilrurglon" of his day, publish' ed a bulky volume which became such on established authority and held its placo for so long a time that TO years afterward lt was translated Into Ellg llsh and published in bondon. In his first book he considers (he gen eral phenomenon of tho body lu heult li and disease, and Iii the chapter relat ing lo temperaments and humors ho writes, "An humor is called by physi cians what thing soever is liquid and flowing In the budy ol' living creatures Inclosed with blood." Proceeding to the "manifold divisions of humors," he separates them into four parts, dis tinct In color, taste, effects and quali ties-namely, blood, phlegm, choler and melancholy. Exact in his subdivisions, he says: "All men ought to think thal snell humors are wont to move at sot hours of the day as hy a certain pe culiar motion or tide. Therefore, the blood Hows from the ninth hour of the night to the (hird hour ol' the day; choler to the ninth of Hie tiny. Theil melancholy tho blood Hows from the ninth hour of the night ls under the dominion of phlegm." Equally curious is the following on spirits, which he divides into "illll mall," "vltall" and "naturall:" "Tho animal spirit hath taken his seat in the brain, it is called animal because lt ls the lire, ..ut the chief and inline Instrument thereof. Wherefore lt hath a most subtle ami aery sub stance. This nnlmnl spirit ls made and harbored In the windings and fold ings ot' the veins and arteries of t..o brain, brought thither sometimes of (Do pure air or sweet vapor drawn in by the nose in breathing. The vital spirit ls next to lt in dignity and ex cellency, which hath Its chief mansion in the left ventricle of the heart. The natural spirit, If such there be any, hath its station In the liver and veins." Describing "certain juggling and de ceitful ways ol' healing of cures by such means as fear, surprise and even hy music for spider bite, the music causing the patient to dance so lustily (hat he shakes all the poison mit ol' his system," ho sums up some of those heroic remedies thus: "I would not east the patient headlong out of a window, but would rather cast them soda Inly, and thinking of no such thing, Into a great elstern filled with cold water, with their heads foremost. Neither would 1 take them out until they had drunk a good quantity of water, that ny that sodnln fall and strong fear Hm matter causing the frenzy might be carried from above downward from the noble parts to the ignoble." A medicine upon which he dilates at great length ls "inumilllo," referred to as tho usual remedy for contusions, and ho describes lt as follows; "Mtiminie ls a liquor Hewing from the nromntlck einbabnons of dead bod ies, which becomes dry and hard" and being ground Into medicine was "ad ministered either ill whole ol' portion to such os have fallen from high places, the first and hist medicine of almost all our practitioners at this day in such a ease."

Besides tailors, shoe makers und halters, he owed money to florists, Jewelers, livery stable keepers, dealers In theater tickets, shlrtmnkers, stationers and restaurateurs. One of the largest bills against thO-jiiau was contracted lu tho course several years at a prominent up towu restau rant. "You must have been hung up for a great spread," sahl a patron of tho place to the manager, pointing to the Item. "Not nt all." he answered. "That bill represents hundreds of charges and has grown slowly to Its present magnltl ceut proportions." ' Hut how ls lt done-how do people run big bills In a restaurant?" "Well, lu the first placo, because wo look upon men who come here as gen tlemen nnd trent them accordingly.

Then he drops In mid orders a modest luncheon or a not elaborate dinner and scribbles his name across the cheek, gives ibo walter a tip, and the new account receives Its first ad dition. "Little by little the account grows, but never by any really large charge, and when at last the man has a little dinner party willi a big appetite the check ls liable to be 'O.

"When the account lins grown HO huge that we think lt should have at tention, we give the bend walter a tip, and without te'ling tho man In so many words he is given to understand that cash would be preferred to an autograph. Sometimes the man takes tho hint and makes a payment or asks for more time and tells us that he will pay as ho goes, and he remains a cus tomer without Increasing lils account, but generally ho leaves us and goes to some other place and complains about poor service here and In other ways tries to Injure our business be cause he can't have what be wants to eat and drink for nothing.
