The intie.\iblllty of Kussiuii ollioinI orders Inis resulted in some queer and needle.** fixtures In the offloiaI sys tern. a ludicrous discovery of this sort wns made by the Empress Cath erine. who was the mother <>f that Km peror Paul who was assassinated in 1801 Catherine at one time was in spired by some passing whim of econ oihy to scrutinize the imperial house keeping accounts. To her amazement, she found among other queer items that "one bottle of rum dally" was charged to .the heir apparent. Inasmuch as her hoii, Naslednlk. then n young tnan, had never evinced any signs of intemperate habit*, his mother was greatly as tonished Going over the accounts to ascertain how long this s6rt of thing had been enduring, she found to her still greater astonishment that the said expenditure went back to the day of his birth, and. indeed, far beyond It So. it appeared, the heir to tliC throne had not only been charged with drinking over thirty dozen bottles of fine Jamaica rum ever since he was born, but for a long time before that. It Is hardly necessary to add that the empress made a thorough investiga tion of this queer entry Finally, by tho aid of an antiquarian, she at last reached the original entry. A century or so before the imperial physician had prescribed t<?r the Nas lednik of the period, "on a-count of a violent toothache, a tea^poonful of rum, to be taken with sugar." This dose was given for sc. rial days In succession, and the nur.-c in charge had deemed it more fining to the Im perial dignity, as well ;is more profit able to herself, to puivh.i^e a new bot tlo of rum each day N > ? -le had ever given tho order to dlsronv ? ;io the pur chase. and It had gone < m for a con tury. the rum having ?-.<n tituted one of tho perquisites of the -urt nurse. When L31smarck during the "term of his mission as ambassador at St. Petersburg was walking one after noon In the summer gfmVn ho met the emperor, who Invited t' .? diplomatist to continue his stroll with him. Soon Bismarck noticed a stntry stationed in the middle of a large grass plot. He asked what the soldier was doing there. Tho czar did not know. The ald-de-camp did not know Ro inquiry was made of tho sentry bin,self. "It is ordered," was his reply. Every official gave the same nn swor, "It Is ordered." but nobody, know by whom A sentry had always stood guard In the middle of that In nocent grass plot. Tiie archives were searched, out In vain. Finally an aged official was found who gave the planation. Ho had had It frozfi his father that the Empress Catherine once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom In that plot and had ordered jt sentry to stand guard and allow tio one to pluck it. For more than a cen tury the watch had been maintained because "It was ordered" and becaoae no one had erer dreamed of dteob+Jinj. the order or questidftiing any WITTO" | tto UllW therefor.?Now York h?H.
