Despite the bitter cold, flowers are
the ~luxuries Of Russians In winter.
They are everywhere. The houses
overflow with them-fOwers receive
You at the door, and go with you up the
stairway; Irish twas festoon balustersi
jardiniers adorn the landings on every
floor. In the embrazure Of the wiz
dows bananas spread out their broad
silken leaves; TALBOT palms, magnolias,
camellias, growing like trees, mingle
their blossoms with the gilded volutes
of the cOrnices; orchids hover like
butterflies around lamp shades Of crys-
tai, porcelain aud %curiously wrought
terra-cOtta. From the h"Orn-shapel
vases of japanese porcelain or Bohe-
milan glass, placed in the centre Of a
table Or at the cOrne of a sidebOard,
spring sheaves Of superb eXOtics. And
all this floral splendor thriyes as in a
dollhouse. Every breath of cold air is
carefully excluded. The windows are
invariably double, and the space
between the sashes is covered with a
layer of fine sand, designed to absorb
moisture and prevent the frost from
silvcring the panes. Twisted horns of
paper containing salt are set in it, and
sometimes the sand is concealed 10y a
bed of moss. There are no outside
shutters or blinds, for they would be
useless, since the windows remain
closed all the winter, being carefully
filled in around the edge with Il kind Of
cement. Heavy curtains of rich ma
terial still further deaden the effect Of
the cold upon the glass. Shivering in
the street, you are at the pole; within
doors, you are transported to the trop-
les.

NTonastiC Life.

| greatly desired to visit the famous
Convent of La Trappe, near Antwerp,
and, thanks to the courtesy of the
monks, passed a pleasant day within its
walls. Life there must be an intensely
solemn thing; fortunately for the
monks, however, it is varied by labor,
the many workshops of the convent
embracing every trade. remained to
dinner, and had an opportunity Of see
ing the members of this little commu
nifty. Very quietly the dinner passed.
They ate neither meat nor fish. l had,
as did all, a large bottle of beer, made
on the place, as they brew their own
beer. With the beer in question we
had vegetables. The meal commenced
with a soup of milk and bread, substan-
tial and not exciting to the members Of
the institution. | made a substantial
dinner out of the eggs and fresh bread,
etc., and went out with two young
priests into the garden for a siesta. 1t
was a hot day, and lying down upon
the grass in the shade, a running con-
versation was kept up about old walled
towns, and old converts, and the rest.
Afterward, an old monk conducted me
through the convent. Passing through
the dining-r6om or hall, my attention
was called at once to the two long rows
of black and brown napkins arranged
upon the two long tables at each side.
They seemed like the monks themselves
in miniature. Ascending Il rickety
fight of stairs, | entered their large
sleeping apartment; each one has his
"little crib" where he sleeps, or thinks
he does. The bed is hard piece of
matrass with at slight covering, and a
curtain drawn around it, and the name
of the happy occupant placed above in
black letters on wood. My last visit
was to the workshops. | will not de-
scribe all the different "metiers," but
there were all trades represented, and
capuchins working at them. All were
grave and silent. Indeed, Il solemn
SUNDAY" atmosphere brooded over the
entire place, and ! was glad to leave II
! behind me.

When the late Gar was at Warsaw,
shortly before the outbreak of the Cri-
mean war, in the course of one of his
flying journeys through Russia, the
officer of the day came to inform him
that a woman awaited without who
wished to present Il petition to him.
The Car babe him admit her, and a
Polish woman entered, clad in deep
mourning. I'm a voice broken with
tears she told her story. She was a
widow with an only son, who had been
torn from her, in direct violation of the
law excepting the only sons of widows
from liability to enlistment. Nicholas
heard her patiently to the end, and
babe her return on the morrow, insur-
ing her that her case should be carefully
considered. The recruiting officer, who
had been concerned in the alleged
ofrense, was next summoned, but the
latter stoutly asserted that the whole
story was a pure fabrication; that the
widow had in reality two sons, of whom
he had taken the eldest, and that the
complaint was merely a ruse on the
mothers part to keep her son at home.
In this falsehOod he boldly persisted
when confronted by the mother on the
following morning, perceiving this to
be his only chance of escaping detection.
Nicholas looked decidedly nonplussed
and the staff officers began to exchange,
in cautious whispers, various %jocular
illusions to the judgment of Solomon.
But suddenly the Emperor's marble
face lighted up, and turning to the re-
cruiting officer, he said with ominous
suavity
"You are ready to swear, then, that
this woman has two sons?"
81 swear 1t, your majesty" answered
the unabashed officer.
"In that case" rejoined the Gear.
with a smile, which showed how thor.
oughly he appreciated the situation.
"Russla must not lose a soldier; give
back the son you have taken, and enlist
tho other onsi"

Under the head OF Beer in Africa
a French journal publishes some in.
formation which is rather amusing.
Almost all the people of Africa, 1t APP
pears, drink beer; but those who like
this drink best are the Caflres. The
female Caflres are the brewers of the
beverage, to which they give the de-
lightful name of "utschulla." But the
the beer which they drink is not intox-
fcating; it contains, on the other hand,
fattening principles. AS corpulency is
n sign Of distinction among the Caffres,
one may imagine, says the French
writer, what a vast quantity of beer Is
consumed by each gallant Caffre, SO
that he may rank among the dignitaries
of the nation. Followers lower in the
social scale have equally aristocratic
tastes; consequently beer is an i'm
portant item in the Caffre establish
ment. The malt employed in the
preparation of this beer is said not to be
made of barley, but maize and millet.
The grain is arranged for the purpose
of termination, then is roasted. The
Caffre, we further learn, is independent
Of hop; he has a substitute of his own
which acts as an elfectual 'substitute,'
1t seems, however. that the Caffre pro.
ceeds quite methodically with his brew
Ing, and does not appear to be much
troubled by the phenomena of fermen-
tation. There are other people In Cen
trail Africa-the Balondes, for instance
who brew, but their beer has no "fat.
tening principles" Still 1t has It's
recommendations, for we learn that In
this district beer drinkers may be OBJ.
served extended full length upon the
ground, drunk. This circumstance,
naively adds the French writer, may
also be observed In European countries,
and is not peculiar to Central Africa

One finds it difficult to understand
how these people, so courteous in their
manner, so digniied in their bearing,
with a naughty repose ever looking
out of their dark eyes, can be suddenly
converted into the active wild beasts
we know they can. But a creature so
tranquil, so unreasoning, so indolent,
finds no measure for the extravaganza
of passion when he INDUCES it. He
has no continuity of activity, he has no
habit, in any line of his thought, of
liberality, or freedom, So the tiger in
him leaps up, master Of his nature, and
will not withdraw again to the dark
cavern of his heart till its thirst for
blood is appeased. War seems to take
him from his Incidence and stimulate
him to sustained bravery through the
energy of his fanaticism. The best
opinions agree in considering the Turk
ish soldier as superior--docile, capable
of training, and fearless as few are.
What he lacks is the proper officer.
With his ignorance of everything comes
the ignorance of modern tactics. He
may buy the best gun that America
can furnish, but, till he understands
the terrible enginery of war, the valor
of his soldiers is half lost TO him by i'm
perfect leadership. How much he
knows, how much of the old rage which
once carried all before it still survives,
the world, by springtime, seems in a
fair way Of ascertaining. We cannot
but honor this desperate valor and the
sublime indifference to death which
their doctrine of fate (Kismet) allows
them.-[SyridR Sunshine.

"pETTESGML's NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY
ADVERTISERS HANDBOOK" recently published
By Messrs. s. NJ. Pettengll 4 Co., advertising
agents, 81 Park Row, New York CITY, is an ele-
CANT volume, and bears upon lis face the i'm.
press Of honest, careful, and thorough work.
In these days OF books issued In the interest OF
i~llegitimate advertising schemes and special
newspaper lists. or which have for their object
the flching OF money both from advertiser and
publisher, we are glad to welcomes publication
which, unswerved by self interest, attempts 70

ton IN regard TO the character and circulation
OF the numerous publications OF this country Is
difficult TO obtain, but with superior advantages
aud earnest labor Mr.. Pettengill has produced

advertisers and all who need such information
liz the prosecution OF their business. 1t has
now been nearly thirty years since Mr.. Petten-
gill began business as an advertising agent. He
was the pioneer OF the business. The press OF
the country was a small interest compared With
what 1t now ia, and there was very little sys'
tematic advertising being done. II was MIR.
pettengills idea TO bring about an understand
ing between the business men OF the country
ard the publishers to show the advertiser
that legitimate newspaper advertising was the
cheapest and best way Of bringing his wares
before the public; and the publisher, that in
all proper WAYS ne bnOulu IeBhIu lnb lHleIebbh
OF the advertiser. He thus aided both, and
placed both under obligation. How successful
Mr.. Pettenglll was is best shown by the inn
mense business establishment he has built up,
and the high esteem in which he is held both
by advertisers and publishers the country over.
Since he entered into the business q great many
rivals have come into the field. Many have
failed involving both publishers and advertisers
in their disaster. Others, with youth, energy,
and capital, have succeeded in establishing a
more OF less prosperous business but in the
esteem and confidence Of both advertiser and
publisher no one has ever rivaled the firm Of
which MIR. Pettengill is the head. His name ls
q synonym for fair dealing and rectltude, and
his STRAIGHTFORWARD business course is the more
marked in contrast with the methods OF some
who aspire to outstrip him in business. .
The shyster and schemer in advertising. as
in everything else, must have his day, but
eventually the advertiser will find him out, and
his lists and worthless schemes, which are
three. fourths agents profits, will be neglected,
and his occupation gone. There may be less
immediate gain in the old-fashioned, straight
forward way Of doing business, but, in the long
run, it will pay the largest profits. We trust
that our young men beginning in the adyer-
Using business will observe the great success
Of Mr.. Pettengill, and. initiating his methods,
Law the foundation on which to build a business
at once profitable, permanent, and honorable.

RHUBARB MERINGUEs. - Wash and
skin the rhubarb, cut into inch lengths,
and put it over the fire in a porcelain
lined saucepan in which is plenty of
sugar lido not add any water); when
tender, thicken with a little corn
starch, made smooth in cold water.
Have ready deep pie-plates, lined with
a rich biscuit crust (rOlled thin), pour
in the rhubarb and bake in a quick
oven. When done remove from the
oven; when cold cover the tops with a
meringue of beaten whites of eggs and
powdered sugar, favored with lemon
extract. In making a meringue, the
usual proportion is the whites of four
eggs to a pound of powdered sugar, but
half the sugar | have found answers
very well. When the pies are covered
with the meringue return them to the
oven until they are a delicate brown,
which will be in a minute or two. Try
