RUSSIAN PRIEsTs.-There are two classes of
the clergy, in Russia-the white or secular,
SO called from the color of the dress they wear,
and the black or monks. OF the last, the
Eastern church has only one order, primitive
fathers of the Gcumenic Church. From
among the white clergy, who must be mar
ried, the curates are taken, as are the other
ranks of the hierarchy, below the rank of bish-
op. All bishops must be unmarried and
monks. The members of the white clergy
must be married, or at least engaged, before
receiving the final conservation. But they
cannot marry twice, and, on becoming widow
ers, are obliged to enter monastery, or, as
the phrase is, ''Be shorn into MONKS the
white clergy wear their hair and beard long.
The priest is, of course, most devoted hus-
band, and takes the best possible care of his
wife, for, if he losses her, the loss cannot be
supplied. 1t is, therefore, proverbial among
the people, to say, " As happy as priest $
wife, The clergy in Russia form class
somewhere between the nobility, the bourge-
oisie, and the people-inferior to the first, and
superior to the two others.

AIr. Editor The question having been
discussed for number of years, in print and
out of print, of the comparative value ofcook-
ed and uncooked food for swine, and the bold
assertion having been made that Is lbs. OF
cooked food was equal to 90 lbs. Of uncooked,
the Sunderland Farmers Club, for the pur-
pose of testing the truth of the statement, Of
fered two premiums for the two best conduct
ed experiments and a written statement of the
same, showing accurately the manner Of feed
ing and the gain or loss.
The statements of the two gentlemen to
whom the committee have awarded premiums
we send you for publication, and we take oc-
casion to say that the men are both personally
known to the committee as men of integrity
and accuracy, and in the whole experiments
and statements great confidence may be plac-
ed.
1t will be noticed by the statements, that
the manner of cooking was unlike in the two
cases, showing that meal that is merely scald-
ed is better than boiled, and that raw meal is
far preferable to either.
