famous Peiruukevlteh" as he Is called in Russia, Is the man whose name for a score of years has been in the forefront of Russian liberialism. He does not look the leader he undoubtedly is. A bearded man of 50, of medium stature, he would hardly attract a oud glance in an ordinary assemblage. Rut upon closer examination the lines and piercing eyes beneath shaggy brows lend to his otherwise ordinary countenance an intelligence and force which mark him as a man among men. He comes from noble stock, an family of the province of Chernigofr, where he was reared.

After having brilliantly finished his college career at the University of Moscow, Pet ninkeviteh lived for ten years upon his estate, greatly interested in the peasants, studying their liie and habits and needs. At the sime time he served in the zemstvo of the province and there really began what might be called his public career, but his natural inclination to liberalism and his outspoken declarations in of measures to educate and lift up the ignorant peasantry arousal hostility among the bureaucrats of St. Peters lean official circles that the Mexican for in thoroughness government is preparing t0 ucc 0 He should not construct gotiations looking to the sale of low- fancy out of the highly er California to the United States In-j I plates in a seed catalogue and ter cat in the proposition is especially colored realtty.

Nothing is known in Washington about the project and it is extremely doubtful if congress will agree to the purchase of any more territory for some years to come. Lower California was discovered by Xtmenes, a Spaniard, in 1532, and was year later explored by Cortez. The region was visited by Drake as early as 1579.

It is best to plant them in the fall; then as spring begins they begin to and produce a surprising amount color. The crocuses, snowdrops and squills may be planted In the lawn, and mowed down, for they flower very early and will continue to bloom for several years.

Jonquils and narcissi may also be left In shrubbery, or in grass, where they are not cut, and they will bloom many years. The bulbs may also be planted in the early spring -any dealer will tell how. gweeet peas are deservedly popular, because of their ease of culture, profusion of bloom, dainty colors and delightful fragrance. Plant them in any good garden soil, fertilize well with rich cow manure, in rows preferably running east and west. Keep the flowers well picked each day to prevent seed pods forming, for, like pansies, the vitality of the plant Is impaired by the production of seeds.

The seed should be planted very early in the spring, in trenches three or four inches deep, being covered over a little at first and the trenches gradually filled as the plants grow. Few persons are acquainted with the merits of the gailiardia, or blanket flower, which is a hardy perennial and blooms in the summer in great profusion.

As Dame Curfiiey has said before, only very near and dear friends of the bride-elect should be asked to these affairs, for the bride should not be asleed to accept or people to give things that are not prompted by a heart full of love. The affair in question was so called because each friend tried to think of some thing that the honored guest would not have and they consulted together, so there were no duplicates. There were ten guests and here is a list of what they took: A bag of silk to cover the hat while traveling and a case of postal cards, one addressed to each girl; a pad of paper and a bunch of stamped envelopes; a late magazine with the especially good articles marked; a new hook greatly enjoyed by the giver. box of candles In spring cleaning, as in many other things, forethought is the mother of success, and the careful housewife will think and plan methodically long before the actual work begins.

As a preliminary to spring cleaning it is necessary to have a thorough turn-out of all the drawers, cupboards and storage places. In a modern house these may not be as many or as ample as you would like, but still it is wonderful how much you do store up so much so that it is quite necessary to have a turn-out twice a year Some people hoard much more thaa others. They hate to get rid of anything, saying as soon as they do give this or that away they find a use fo it themselves. But you cannot keep everything, so out with them all, see what can he used, and make away with the rest. After the drawers have been emptied they need a good clean, a wash, or maybe a dust out will do, and then reline with paper.

Use white or cream paper, but better newspaper than anything that looks soiled or creased. If your wardrobe Is open in the ings and so lets the dust in, it is well to line it throughout with glazed calico, lightly tacked to the wood at the top and bottom. This will save all that hangs therein. The walls of cupboards should be brushed down and whitewashed if necessary, and when the shelves have been cleaned put back everything that has not been condemned as rubbish. Soap and washing soda are necessaries that should always he bought in large quantities tor the sake of economy; and of these you must have a plentiful supply; but there are other things that must he thought of such as ammonia, turpentine, whiting and furniture polish.

Provide plenty of flannel washing cloths, and silks, iinen and cotton dusters. It is not necessary to use new material for these; old woolen dresses, flannel petticoats, silk hand kerchiefs, linen aprons and print dresses can be utilized. When the actual work begins should be done in as methodical manner as possible. Begin with the highest rooms in the house, descend in order take halls and staircases next, and finish off with cellars and outhouses. All hangings and curtains must be well-shaken when they are taken down to free them from dust.
