This may be explained by the fact that cabbage has
no effect on the hearts action.

In the majority OF cases the Russian priest is
the son Of priest; sometimes he comes from
the small shopkceping class or from the peas
antry. He passes six years at the Diocesan
Seminary. where he is taught theology, the
Scriptures, and 4 very little Greek and Latin.
Those only who satisfy tho examiners are or
dained as priests, the remainder receiving the
inferior degree of deacon and psalmist. The
members generally OF the Russian clergy form
a class apart, and are never invited either TO
the castle or the house of their middle-clasa
parishioners except for official purposes. In
money matters they are exacting One OF

and Il. G.. Citrou for defendant There were
about 20 Cinnamon in attendance, two or three
interpreters, the witnesses being armed with o
big pile Of books.
Then they all began TO swear, and swore in
so many different ways that, by the time they
were through, neither the attorneys nor the
justice knew anything about the case, in fact
couldn't make head or tail out of it.
Finally one of the celestials suggested that to
get at the truth of the matter a chickens head
be cut of. This was agreed to after some little
parlying and as Justice Tuttle didn't wish 10
turn his court into slaughter house, the joss
house was repaired TO.
On arriving there the defendant was as bold
as n lion, and bustled around and secured q
chicken, some lighted tapers, etc. 1t was
agreed that if either the plaintiff or defendant
weakened the one who so did should lose the
case. When everything was in readiness the
plaintiff walked up to the block, picked up .
hatchet, and il was good-by chickens head.
The defendant weakened, and. looking over

On one of the recent cold nights a man was
fastening across the Common with his overcoat
buttoned up TO his neck. He was rather anx-
iOus to know what time it was. but he was too
lazy to unbutton his coat IN order TO get at his
watch. Just then he saw man of we'll l-dressed
appearance coming in the distance. When he
came up the man who wanted to know the time
touched his hat politely and said: Sir, do you
know what time it is?" The stranger paused,
removed his right glove, unbuttoncd his over
coat from top TO bottom. unbuttoned his under
coat. and finally pulled out his watch while
the cold wind beat against his unprotected
chest. Holding up the watch so that the light
would shine on it, he scrutinized it in an in
slant and said: "Yes," and then passed on
without another word.
