RELIGION in Russia.

In Russia all creeds are free" So
Alexander wrote to the Holy Fathers in
1878. 1t was a barefaced falsehood then;
let us see whether it is true now. In VOL
binia there are 10000 colonists from Bone
mia, Roman Catholics to a man. They
wanted priests, so the Government got
three from Bohemia But what priests?
Suffice it to say that they were all married.
The colonists did not like that sort of
thing, SO the Government called together
diocesan conference of the districts of
Dubno, Osrong and Romno. The men
who met at the conference to draw up a
constitution of the church, were worthy of
such priests" as they had One man pro
posed that they should form Catholic
Church without Pope. Another advised
the adoption of the Lutheran creed, but
this was objected to because Luther was a
German, and the Germans were the born
enemies of the Bohemians. A third held
that the tenets of Huss should be adopted
At last they agreed to call themselves
Bohemian Brothers, and to reproduce a
Greek liturgy in the native Bohemian ton

que. The resolutions of the convention
were approved of by the Russian Govern
ment. Most of the colonists turned with
a shudder from the new creed. and de
clared that they would live and die Roman
Catholics, as their fathers had done before
them, and they sent for Polish priests to
minister to them. Thereupon the Russian
Government decreed that none of the colo
nists We're to be allowed to acquire real
estate except such as had joined the Bohe-
milan Brothers. This decree is still in
force. That's what they call religious free

The Origin of Croquet.

Croquet players who have considerable
liking for this favorite and fashionable
sport, will be interested in the origin of
the game. Croquet, is not, as many sup
pose, of modern birth, but may be traced
through its various stages to Persia, as
far back as the eighth century. Its origin
was polo, which the Persians played with
long handled mallet called chugan. In
the ninth century the game made its way
into the Eastern Empire, the original NAL
let changing itself to a staff ending in
broad bend filed with network of gut
strings. Thus" says writer ON the sub
ject, ''there appeared in the East, as be
longing to the great sport of ball playing
on horseback, the first shapes of two i'm

Japanese Fencipg 1Eateh.

Next came two gentlemen in masks and
wearing a costume which was manifestly
that of Japanese-German Chor-Burs hem
equipped for the 'Pawkboden,n OF fenc-
ing ground. Round their waists were
broad, leather belts or vests; from their
girdles hung six square impenetrable lap
pets OF plates. They wore long wooden
two handed swords, such as were welded
of old by crusader knights, and such as
are still used by elephant hunters in Don
COLA. Between them stood an umpire who
made them a speech. at it they went, but
at the first blow one of the warriors called
off. He had forgotten something. Now,
be it borne in mind that the Japanese do
nothing without salt They put little Of
it in their tea-for luck, l suppose and
when they get money they salt that down
too with great exactitude. Stepping to
one side the combatant took drink of
water, and made sign, then he drank
again, and finally taking a pinch of salt
from u dish, went and threw it on the
fencing-ground.
1 had seen this done of old Once in
Philadelphia in a Japanese troupe the
supers, to do their best, could not get the
ropes OF some apparatus to hold fast.
Their was terrific chattering, and then
some one more quick-witted than the rest
ran out and got plate of salt, and threw
some on the ropes. need not say that in
an instant these ropes were secured like
magic They were guyed not verbally,
but salinely. The fencers whacked away
at one another 1 once saw two colored
women fight in exactly the same manner

plements which remodelled the whole
play of life of medieval modern Europe,
the chugan being the ancestor of the NAL
let used in croquet, and of an endless
variety of other playing clubs and bats,
while the bent staff, with its network, was
a primitive racket"
We find that the original ball games in
which sticks were used were played on
horseback, and instead of polo being an
outgrowth Of these sports played on foot
the latter are the changes made in the
Persian game of chugan, which as has
been said, was the parent of all our games
in which artificial means are used on foot,
was easy and natural, and the substitu-
ton of a club came by gradual changes,
the hand being properly the original i'm
plement, which was superseded by the
stick.

Tho Arab Spear.

The Hadendowa spear is from six to seven
feet long The handle is of piece of hard
mimosa or acacia, thinner than broom handle.
There is long socket attached to the blade,
into which the wood is driven and fastened
At the reverse end there is commonly piece
Of twisted iron or telegraph wire, which serves
the double purpose Of weighing the handle, so
as to counterbalance the blade, and to prevent
the weapon from being pulled from the grasp.
The spear-herd or blade is rarely more than
two inches broad by eight inches long. Going
into battle the Hadendowas grease their spears
from blade to hilt, so that it is impossible to
wrest the weapon from their hands in a strug-
gle. The spears used by the tribes up the
Nile are much more formidable weapons. The
handle is from seven to nine feet long, made
of male bamboo wood 1t is furnished with a
terrible broad-bladed long spcar-head, like
that of the Hadendowas, kept bright as a mir
TOR and sharp as razor. The blade is some
times fourteen inches long, and FIVE inches
wide. In truth, the Arab spear up the Nile
looks more like an elongated trowel- blade than
anything else. Shovel-heads our soldiers used
to call them They make fearful wound, and
it was with one Of these that Col. Burnaby was
struck in the throat and killed. Being ex-
ceedingly light weapons, although badly bal
anced, the Arabs can handle them with great
Neutrality-suspicious. Telegraph.

Marvellous Foats of Marine Divers.

The fatal leap of Prof. Odlum from
Brooklyn bridge recalls to the New York
Times the exploits of some other daring
men who sought to obtain celebrity by
jumping OF diving from high places. The
most widely known feat of this description
is probably that of Sam Patch. The fam
Gus and fatal leap of that reckless man
occurred in Rochester on Friday, NOvem-
Der Is, 1929, at o'clock in the afternoon.
During the centennial year young
French rope walker entertained thousands
of people who visited Niagara Falls by
leaping into the river two or three times a
week from a rope stretched from bank to
bank l55 feet above the surface Of the
water. 4 piece of stout and very elastic
rubber was fastened to the center Of his
heavy rope, and after walking out on the
rope from the rivers bank, the young
Frenchman would take firm hold of the
free end of the rubber band and spring
downward He retained his hold Of the
band until it had reached perhaps twenty
five feet, and then letting 90 he would
shoot, feet foremost, like an arrow into the
river. The feat was repeated more than a
dozen times, and the performer was in
nowise injured.
The attempts of Prof. Robert Donald
son, young Scotchman, to Jump from the
Eastriver bridge in 1852 attracted much
attention Mr. Donaldson first appeared
on the unfinished bridge ON May 11th of
that year, attired in tights, and prepared
to leap into the river below. He gave up
the idea on that day in consequence of
strong gale which was blowing up the
river. He publicly announced that he
would try q second time to make the leap,
but the custodians of the bridge kept care
full watch of the New York and Brooklyn
approaches and allowed no one to go upon
the structure. Donaldson attempted to
ascend the spiral staircase at the side Of
the great stone pier on the Brooklyn side,
in the guise of a workman, on Wednesday,
May 81, 1852, but he was recognized and
stopped. A third attempt to get on the
bridge was made by Donaldson on July
10th, but had to be abandoned because a
portion of the planBing of the footpath
had been temporarily removed.
John ID. Brumley, painter of No. 4O2
East Forty eighth street, New York, while
intoxicated, ON Sunday morning, June 4.
1882, made a wager ''for the drinks with
some of his companions that he would
jump off High bridge. He walked to the
central arch of the bridge and, after divest
ing himself of his coat and shoes, he
sprang from the structure In his descent
he turned two somersaults, and struck the
water feet foremost. He was taken out of
the river unconscious, but subsequently
recovered. The distance from the top of
the bridge to the water where Brumley
jumped is 145 feet
A young Englishman named 7. P.
Donaldson Owed from the roof of a shed
on the pier of the National Steamship line,
at the foot Of West Houston street, on
September l, 1888 The distance from the
