Don COSSack i'm the Field.

The most picturesque figure in the
Russian army is the Don Cossack, with
his long black lance and his devil-may-
care face. A correspondent of the Lon
don NeaOS describes him as practical
philosopher Of manly, self-reliant and
hal-cynical type. The Cossacks ride
through Bucharest fellows who never
saw town in their lives before-as if it
were their afternoon custom to make
promenade on it's asphalt; they are al
ways civil, although punctilious in the
performance of their duty, and they keep
sober when billeted in a public house
with money in their pockets and score
of civilians around them eager to stand
treat While riding between Bucharest
and Oltenitza, this correspondent met
pair of these warriors Jogging along with
that peculiarly reckless, free-and-easy air
which seems the universal characteristic
Of the Cossack. They must have been
wet to the skin; they were uncommonly
muddy; they probably had slept in the
field; it was faint chance that for hours
together they should see anyone to whom
they could make themselves Ineligible;
they could not tell the name of the place
whittier they were bound, nor the army
corps to which they belonged; they were,
in short, the merest waits and strays on
the great Wallachian plain and yet they
cooked their caps and cracked their
whips, and staggered generally with as
much aplomb as if they owned half Wal
lachia. Further on troup of Cossacks
was in bivouac in a field close to the
road The rain had drowned out the
fires, and the ground was knee-deep in
mud; but the Cossacks were not dispir-
tied by their ungenial condition. With
some straw and some branches they had
thrown up shelters against the wind, and
in the lee of these they squatted on
stones, singing Justify to the accompan-
iment furnished by one Of their number,
who whistled more shrilly than any Lon
don street Arab. Several lay stretched
in slumber in the mud, with rain stream
ing down upon them.

walked to the nearest house, bor-
rowed dry clothes, and re-
turned to the shore to direct the efforts
made to recover their unfortunate COM
panion. Accordingly, the neighboFs
were startled from their afternoon quiet
by the sight of Frank, few wet gar
ments clinging to him, running at full
speed toward home. There, of course,
he was received with great surprise, and
his story heard with EXPLANATIONS of
deep sympathy and thanksgiving, while
grandmother and mother rubbed him,
and brought dry clothes and hot drinks,
and finally put him to bed among soft
blankets, where, tired out, he soon fell
asleep. His mother watched him for
short time as he lay warm and rosy, his
yellow hair curled by the dampness
into hundreds of little rings upon his dear
head, safe upon the pillow at home, in
stead OF ON the seaweed underline waves;
then, reluctant to leave him, she went
forth upon her sad errand of sympathy to
poor Mrs. Smith; and the two widows,
each with baby upon her lap, wept to-
gether. In a day or two, Frank was
quite well. Of course he was hero
among his playmates, and, indeed, in
all the village but he bore his honors
modestly, we'll pleased that the boys
never again called him by the old insult
ing names.
And is this all? No; his mother keeps
as a priceless treasure, shining out from
bed of satin in it's case, silver medal,
awarded by the Massachusetts, Humane
Society to Frank P, for courage and
perseverance in saving life. She showed
it to me last summer; and as / looked
into her face, with it's habitual look of
sadness, but glowing then with pride in
her good boy, I felt that I should like to
add to the inscription, after the name SO
deservedly honored, these words: GA

Jews i'm Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem tenement houses for
Jews of different nations are rapidly
building by societies organized for the
purpose. They are going up on the
Jaffa road, and on both the north and
the west sides of the city, and even
within the walls, near the reputed tomb
OF David, large group Of tenements is
now in process of construction. The
poor are to have free rooms for a time,
and those able to do SO are to be per-
mitted to purchase their habitations.
Until recently, the Jews in Jerusalem
had their "quarter. Now they can
live anywhere outside or inside of the

COssacks and ROumanian Ladies.

When the first troop of Cossacks rode
through Bucharest the Roumanian
ladies were very anxious to see them,
and the long avenue was lined with car
riages. A column of dust arose, thick
ening and drawing nearer. A cry of de-
light and Impotence passed all along
ladies eagerly stood up, favored gentle
men climbed upon the coachbox and
the wheels. The column Of dust ap.
preached, and presently the Cossack
lances pierced it, glitterng in the sun.
Dark and colorless masses loomed
through it, and strange but stirring
music was in the air. Not a sound was
heard, even while they passed, except
that martial war-song of the bards who
head each sotnia and the shrill accom-
paniment of whistles modulated to
weird harmony. No rattle of accoutre-
ments betrays the Cossack; his very
horse seems trained to move with silent
activity. With that pman in ones ears,
and the whistles screaming through it,
one beholds without astonishment these
warriors glide past, stealthily and swift.
One recognizes the surviving race of an
earlier time. To the same war-song,
perhaps, marched the ancestors of these
people when they overran Russia. The
Bucharest ladies were not little i'm
pressed and not little frightened.
They looked at each other blankly, with
little shrugs of the shoulder to express
distaste. One of them afterward con-
fessed to the London Standard CORE
spondent, who describes the scene, that
her Muscoyite sympathies vanished at
sight of the first Cossack, SO ugly and
dirty was he.

The Average of Life.

There is considerable speculation as to
the average of human life. In ancient
Rome, in the period Of from 200 to 500
years after the Christian era, the average
duration of life in the most favored
classes was thirty years. In the six
teenth century tie average longevity in
