A Dutiful Son.

1t is said that the late William Fl. Vanderbilt
was one of the most dutiful sons to his father,
Commodore Vanderbilt. In his youth he formed
the habit of smoking, and when grown to man
hood, one day he entered the presence of the old
Commodore putting blue clouds of smoke from
his after-dinner cigar. Noticing his son, the
Commodore said abruptly, ~ wish you would
give up that smoking habit of yours. I'll give
you $4,000 if you do it." "You need not give
me any money; your wish is quite sufficient" an
swered the son, throwing the cigar away.

HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE,
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The position of Harper's Young People as the
leading weekly periodical for young readers is vel
established. The publishers spare no pains tc
provide the best and most attractive reading and

strong dramatic interest, while they wholly
free from whatever is pernicious vulgarly sen
satonal; the papers on natural history and science
travel and the facts of life, by writers whose
names give the best assurance of accuracy and
I value. Illustrated papers athletic sports
games, and pastimes give full information these
subjects. There is nothing cheap about it but it;
price.

Since the date of disestablishment

some dispute as to the right of the
Episcopal church in Ireland to call
itself, as it was wont to do, "The
Church of Ireland" and not long since
prominent government official was
taken to task by the church authorities
for so doing. The question was sub
mitted to the law officers of the Crown,

WRAPPED IN FUR,
How Russians Manage to Keep Warm In
Winter.

The Russians have great knack of
making their winter pleasant. You
feel nothing of the cold in those tightly
built houses, where all doors and win
dows are double, and where the rooms
are kept warm by big stoves hidden in
the walls. There is no damp in Rus
sian house, and the inmates may dress
indoors in the lightest CARDS, which
contrast oddly with the mass of furs
and wraps which they don when going
out. A Russian can afford to run no
risk of exposure when he leaves the
house for walk or drive. He covers
his head and ears with fur bonnet, his
feet and legs with felt boots lined with
wool or fur, which are drawn over the
ordinary boots and trousers and reach
up to the knees; he next cloaks himself
in top coat with fur collar, lining
and cuffs; he buries his hands in pair
of fingerless gloves of sealskin or bear
skin. Thus equipped, and with the
collar of his coat raised all around SO
that it nsoffles him up to the eyes, the
Russian exposes only his nose to the
cold air; 4nd he takes care frequently
to give that organ little rub to keep
the circulation going. A stranger who
is apt to forget the precaution would
often get his nose frozen if it were not
for the courtesy of the Russians, who
will always warn him if they see his
nose whitening" and will, unbidden,
help him to chafe it vigorously with
snow In RusSian nitiac Xva 1lyino ic i,,ct
possible for men during the winter, but
hardly so for ladies. The women of
the lower order wear knee boots; those
of the skop-keeping class seldom ven

go out in sleighs. The sleighs are by no
means pleasant vehicles for nervous
people, for the Kalmuck coachmen
drive them at such terrific pace that
they frequently capsize.-Cor. Chicago
