In Russia,

The brilliantly colored signboards give
the streets of a Russian city particularly
gay appearance. At almost every corner
you come upon a Byzantine-looking
shrine of the Virgin, with number Of
Russians in front of it, bareheaded,
crossing themselves. You meet the
Virgin in various other unexpected
places-in railway stations, in postoffices,
with little oil lamp Pickering at her feet
even in the drowsy lock-ups, where
tipsy muiiks can be heard yelling all day
and night. The behavior of the people
in the streets is quiet and civil. If a
Russian knocks against you, he begs
your pardon with sincere show of con-
triton; if he sees your nose turning
white in cold weather, he picks up a
handful of snow and rubs it with a
brotherly officiousness till the circula-
tion is restored. All along the populous
streets peddlers saunter, selling dried
mushrooms, cotton handkerchiefs, reli
gious prints, white bread and fritters;
but few of them shout. Pigeons infest
the roadways with impunity, for they
are held sacred. Even if Russian were
starving, it would not occur to him
to knock one of the birds on the
head and cook it. Dancing bears are
also to be seen in great numbers, and,
though not sacred, are great favorities,
and always draw crowds, who laugh at
their antics like children, for Russians
are very easily amused.

Capturing an Eagles Nest.

Recently United States Deputy Mar
shal Dewing and party went up the
river to investigate the cutting of logs
from the public lands. On Black Lake
they discovered an immense eagles nest
in the topmost branches OF large tree,
and began cutting the tree down. There
was young eagle in the nest, and when
the cutting commenced the parent birds
made hostile demonstrations, swooping
down upon the party. The female was
shot and killed. The wing of the male
was broken by shot, and he was cap
tured after falling in the water. He was
with considerable difficulty taken into
the boat, knocking one of the men in the
boat overheard by a stroke of his wing.
The young bird was killed by the falling
of the tree. The nest was twelve feet in
diameter, and was constructed of at least
three-quarters of a cord of wood, some
of the pieces being four feet long and as
large around rs mans leg. The old
male bird measures seven feet and two
inches from tip to tip.-,MrCrcpOrt (La.)

Rich without Money.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket are rich. A man born with a
good sound constitution, good stom-
ach, good heart, and good limbs, and
pretty good headpiece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold; tough mus
cles than silver; and nerves that fash
fire and carry energy to every function
are better than houses and land. 1t is
better than landed estate to have the
right kind of father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herbs and
horses. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies or to Develop good
ones; but il is great thing to inherit
the right proportions of faculties to
Start with. The man is rich who has q
good disposition-who is naturally kind,
patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who
has q favor Of wit and fun in his csm-
position,

Wind LocomOtion on Land.

It is curious to note that while to the
railroads is owing the abandon ment of
the wind carriage formerly seen by
travellers in China, Spain and Holland),
to the same agency it now seems likely
that its rejuvenation will be due. Wind
vehicles are already in use on the long
stretches of tracks which extend over
the Western prairies, and the speed at
tained is said to rival that of the fast
express train. One which has been in
use on the Kansas Pacific railroad for
the past three years was devised by Mr..
G. j. Bascem. The vehicle is said to av-
erage speed Of thirty miles per hour,
and, with strong breeze, to travel at
the rate of forty miles in the same
period. This last speed was reached
with the wind right abeam. A distance
of eighty-four miles has been passed
over in four hours, the car sailing part
of this time close hauled and over disad-
vantageously curved track.
The vehicle has four wheels, each
thirty inches in diameter; is six feet in
length, and weighs 900 pounds. The
sail has two booms, respectively fourteen
and fifteen feet in length, and an area of
about eighty-one square feet. The mast
is eleven feet high, tapering from four
inches square at the heel to two inches
at the truck.
1t will be obvious that many of the
laws applying to the iceboat apply
equally well to the sailing car. A little
consideration will show that when the
latter is sailing at forty miles per hour
it is travelling faster than the wind that
impels it, and this is constantly the case
in iceboat sailing. On the other hand,
iceboats always sail best close hauled; !;
in fact, the sheet is almost constantly
kept fiat aft. The sailing car, as stated
above, gees fastest with the wind direct
ly on the beam or side. Of course the
difference is due to the greater resist
ance offered by the larger and more ele-
waited surfaces of the car body and its
occupants, and to the friction of the
axle journals, which probably, under
ordinary condition, is sufficient to pre-
vent the sailing car ever attaining the
iceboat's speed.--Scientifc american.

all like just bowling and passing on.
No he felt like stopping, shaking hands
and getting out to see how his men were
doing.
"God bless you, sir, I" said Mr.. Moore.
"You have given me the best medicine
I've had. 1 believe it's going to save
my life. I don't know how to thank
you, but know feel like new man."
$50 do I, friend Moore. So do I.
But don't thank me. It's all Toms do
ing. I thought I was teaching him a
great lesson, but, bless you he was
teaching me greater one, all the time.
Well, the Lord has great surprises in
store for us, sometimes, hasenpt He ?"
And, with fervent shake of the hand,
Mr.. Thyson got back into his wagon
and drove home.
From that time, Mr.. Moore's health
steadily improved, and from that time
also, Mr.. Thyson was another man. 1t
was the beginning, but not the end, of
his kind deeds.
A few years later, when Tom and
Bessie commenced housekeeping on
their own account, and Glover lowed
contentedly in her new home, Tom re-
marked. with merry laugh:
"You see, father, was longer-head-
ed than you thought. Twas all in the
family after all.

Words of Wisdom.

Truth is simple, requiring neither
study nor art.
Wrong none by doing injuries, or
emitting the benefits that are your duty.
Dignity is expressive, and without
other good qualities, is not particularly
profitable.
Be not proud of riches but afraid of
them, lest they be silver bar to cross
the way to heaven. You must answer
for riches, but riches cannot answer for
you.
There is hidden thunder in the stores
OF heaven, ready to burst with burning
wrath, and blast the man who owes his
greatness to the ruin of his neighbor.
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between
sunrise and sunset, two golden hours,
each set with sixty diamond minutes.
No reward is offered, for they are gone
forever.
Love is secondary passion in those
who love most, primary in those who
love least. He who is inspired by it in
a high degree is inspired by honor in a
higher; it never reaches its plentitude
of growth and perfection but in the most
exalted minds.
