cy. A stove is always the principal
item of furniture in them, and these
contrivances are used TO sleep On as
well as TO cook in. The mujick, hav-
ing no bed, curls himself up on his
stove at his time for going TO rest.
Sometimes he may be found creeping
right into the stove and enjoying the
delights Of n good vapor bath. The
amount of heat which Russian will
stand is amazing, and his carelessness
in facing the cold afterwards not less
so. On Saturday, which is washing
day all over Russia, you may see in
any village n mujick, who has been
cooking himself in his stove till he is
of color like boiled lobster, rush
naked into the snow and roll himself
in it like dog till he glows all over
TO his satisfaction. 1t seems monstrous
that one of the Russians principal
projections against the cold-his beard
was laid under penalty by Peter the
Great and subsequently by Elizabeth
and Catharine H., when they were
trying to civilize their subjects accord
ing To the custom of the West. These
three sovereigns all laid a tax on
boards; and peasants entering cities
on market days were required to ex-
hibit, in proof that they had paid
their tax, brass coin stamped with "a
bearded face and the words "boroda
lignaia tiagota" (the beard tax has
been settled). This absurd impost was
abolished by Paul. but the effects Of it
still survive in a manner, for the beard
is still considered bad form" in aris
tocratic circles. Military officers wear
only mousiache and whiskers ; dipIo-
matsts and other civil servants eschew
the whiskers and generally reap their
faces altogether. A Russian with
beard is pretty sure to be either a
pope" or "A member Of one Of the
classes below the upper middle.

2. The Sunday school was never in.
tended to supersede either the family
or the House of God.
Nothing is ever gained by exalting
the one Mt the expense of the other.
Nothing is more noticeable IN the life OF
our Lord than that he was trained to
obey his parents, and to prize and at
tend regularly upon the services of Gods
house.
These two influences-the home and
the Sanct,tdry-made him holy child.
Bodily strength is good, but spiritual
strength is better.
Jesus not only grew in stature and
size, hut in intellectual and moral pow
er. Probably there was natural and
wholesome development in his whole
being-physical, intellectual, social and
moral Many of the old traditions and
legends describe him in ianciIul and
extravagant colors, but they do him no
honor. He was a wonderful child, but
he was no less a human child. lie was
type and representative of all true
humanity. He had vigorous and
healthy body. but his highest beauty
and noblest strength were spiritual.
4. Youth should appreciate the coun.
sells of age.
So did the youthful Jesus. lie sat at
the feet of the venerable ..rabbis eager
TO hear their lessons. and TO ask them
Tor further instructions. He was
thoughtful, but not pert, anxious TO
learn and respectful to his teachers. 1t
was not wonderful that "he waxed
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom u
". 40l.
5. Learning is one thing; wisdom is
another.
Jesus was not learned, but he was
wise. "The fear of the Lord, that is
wisdom, and to depart from evil is un.
derstanding." (Job 2S 2S.l

Salt Lake Dispatch to the Chicago Times.

men DIR. Sperr and John Poole, were
carried away and the body OF Poole has
not been found. There are but lev in

The Russ ans have great knack
for making their winters pleasant.
You feel nothing Of the cold in those
tightly-built houses where all the doors
aud windows are double and where
the rooms are kept warm by big stoves
hidden in the walls. There is no
damp in a Russian house and the in
mates may dress indoors in the light
est of garbs, which contrast oddly
with the mass of furs and wraps which
they don when going out. A Russian
can afford TO run no risks of exposure

with fur bonnet, his feet and legs

which are drawn on over the ordinary

ample top-coat with fur collar, lining
and cuffs /; aud he buries his hands in
a pair of fingerless gloves of seal or

so that 1t mufiles him up to the eyes,
the Russian only exposes his nose to
the cold air; and he takes care FIRE.

stranger, who is apt to forget that pre-
caution, would often get his nose

of the Russians, who will always warn

and will, unbidden, help him to chaie
it vigorously with snow. In Russian
cities walking is just possible for men
during winter, but hardly SO for ladies.
The women of the lower orders, wear
knee boots; those of the shopkeeping
classes seldom venture out at all ;

4 Humorous Judge.

Two State officials DESTROYED the
fyke nets Of William Fancher, which
they found set in the Seneca river
contrary to law, and he sought TO
recover damages. His claim was that
he caught only such fish as bull-head,.
suckers, catfish, and that he threw
back into the water, without injury,
all the pickerel, bass and other game
fish. Judge Riegel, in deciding against
this claim. said
1T is possible that Mr.. Fancher did
throw those FISH back into the river
the law forbade him TO catch. But
this law was framed with reference to
the known moral character Of ordi-
nary mortals who would not do any
