The Prince has at the meet an income of $3,000 a year—probably not so much— while Princess Anne is the daughter of a ruler so poorehat he Is compelled to depend upon the bounty of the Czar, his patron, In order to make ends meet. It Is probable, however, that Emperor Nicholas will dower Princess Anne to the extent of 1,000,- 000 roubles, just as he did in the ease of Print -eke Helene when she was led to the altar by the Crown Prince of Italy. Anne, like her sister Helene, and their elder esters, was brought up at the court of St. Petersburg under the personal supervision of the now welowed Czarina, lier paients being tim poor to defray the cost of her edu- t alien.. The late Czar became sen- tiently fond of tbe girls to dower the two elder ones on their marriage just as his son has done for Princess Hel- ene, and is expected to do in the ease of Prineees Aune. A tiellion roubles, even with t•Ite precut depreciated value of that much abused Muscovite coin, rep- resents about $350,000 in English mon- ey, so that that young couple may in the long run not be so badly off after a IL—Chicago Record. -- Don't Start Butner\ Damaging truths are bad euougli.

Ellicott, U. 8. N„ writes an article for Si, Nicholas on \Whet Is Told by the Belt\ la whieh he says: Nothing in a »hip becomes so closely identified with her throughout km whole ettreer as the ship's bell. Cancers and crew teem and go; west*, derba. engines, and boilers become aid, amid mre replaced by new ones; but tmen the (lily that site tire glides into the water the same blotter ben remains al- ways a pat -t of her, marking her pro- gress all over the world, and Inane going down with ber to a lonely grave at the bottom of the ma, or surviving her áto a elterisited souvenir of her ex- istence and atidevemeuts. Ou a man- of-war the bell is usually bustelbed with her tonne and the date Of her anti 218 ills probable that It niny genie day become a memento of a glorlime history, the bell Is often the subjeet of speelal care in vesting or se- leetioe. Sometimes the hundreds of workmen who have built the great ship contribute eaeh a sliver cola to be melted and molded into a bell which ‚Ilan be tile token of their love for the object of their ereation and their In- terest In her future career. Often the people of the city or State after which a man-of-war is named may present to her a magnithent bell appropriately ornamented and inscribed with wants of good -will and good wishes. Sark a bell I» usually presented with cere- mony after the ship gees late fee - mission, Ships' bells in general are made at bronze, like other bells. The addition of silver in their composition gives them a peculiarly clear and musical tone. They are placed in such a pod- llon on the upper deck that they may heard front one end of the other to the other; and are usually near the mainmast or at the break of the fore. - castle. One peculiarity exists in a ship's bell which is necessary on ac- count of her motion at sea. The tongue Is hung 80 that it can swing In only one direction. If it were not w the -bell would be continually ringing as the ship rolled and pitched. The direr don In whieh the tongue can swing is another Important point. If it were athwartships the bell would ring at every heavy roll of the ship; and if it were fore end aft the bell would ring at every deep pitch; so the direction ia which the tongue can swing is nearly half way around between t beer t WO.
