In the same building where the relics
Of Peter the Great are preserved, can be
found the sarcophagus of a monarch in
TERED more than 1000 years previously.
Among all the treasures of the Hermitage
there is ION more valuable than the so
called Kertch collection. On the shore
of the Black sea, 600 year before Christ,
the Greeks founded colonies, which,
uniting with the native Scythians, were
usually under Scythian rulers. Without
the gates of the modern town of Kertch
long rows of tombs n mounds exist,
which of late years nave been carefully
examined by the Russian government,
and the objects found there, remains of
the former Grecian colonies, nave been
preserved in st. Petersburg, forming the
richest collection of the kind in the
world. In 1881 a mound was opened
called by the Tartars THE Hillock of
the Brave" and In a room of hewn
stone the remains of a Scythian king
were found, together with his wife, his
war horse and servant. His golden
crown and ornaments were there I'M
touched. Even the sarcophagus of
carved cypress wood in which his body
was laid, remains ~undecayedi and the
carving and gilt figures upon it are still
sharp and beautiful. 1t seems incredible
that a substance so frail should AVE en-
dured for more than 1000 years unin-
jured. The gold bars Of his shield, the
silver slaves Of his heralds, the collar of
twisted gold wire are to be seen here,
beside many other articles found in his
tomb, although a largo number were
stolen at the time of the discovery.
But still more interesting and beauti-
full were the contents of a tomb discov-
cred in 1855 of a priestess of Ceres, with
all her rich ornaments, and these were
nl preserved. Most exquisite they are;
the gold chains, buttons, bracelets, neck
laces, equal the best workmanship of
Venice or Florence at the present day.
Tho golden plates from her headdress
are of repousse work of perfect beauty.

Food Eaten by old People.

The statistics tell one simple story,
with so few variations as TO be positively
monotonous, in relation to the food eaten
by these old people. The diet has been
regular New England home dishes of
meat, vegetables, and pastry, with
breakfast early, dinner at noon, and sup
per late. Very few are mentioned as
snail eaters or large eaters; most are
mentioned as not particular, with good
appetites through life. A half dozen
never eat meat, and two have abstained
from water. More han two-thirds have
been habitual users of tea and coffee,
and of the remainder nearly all nave
drunk tea. Few of the men, and none
OF the women, are given as users Of more
intoxicating beverages than cider, and
not n dozen out of all have ever used
liquors TO excess. Ten of the women are
mentioned as habitual smokers, and a
score as snuff takers. OF the men, a
large majority have used tobacco-either
chewing, smoking, OF both. Most of the
tobacco users have been moderate, al
though numbers of cases are given where
the mount consumed is enormous, and
continued constantly up TO the time
when the census was taken. A few
broke away from the habit after it had
lasted for twenty, thirty or fifty years,
and nave now been without the narcotic
for perhaps n decade or more.
The record of sickness is so varied that
scarcely half a dozen cases are alike out
Of the whole long list, except where there
has been no illness other than the usual
complaints of infancy. Out of 1,049
men, 392 never were i'll since early child
hood; and of $50 women, 2S8 have en-
joyed the saIne good health. One hum
dred and fourteen men and III women
have had petty diseases only, and 405
men and 402 women have been seriously
i'll. The serious illness of the majority
was n fever of some sort, typhoid head
ing the list.-Clement NJ. Hammond in
Popular Science Monthly.

There are tiny lambs roasted whole,
salmon which has been brought packed
III ice upon the heads of runners from
a distance of q hundred miles, appetiz-
ing kababs of lambs and v~enison,
fowls and cartridges Gin silver bowls,
stewed 10 rags and served with strange
coiored sauces of the richest kind;
great heaps of boiled rice in steaming
pyramids, white rice, green rice, col
ored by an artful admixture of herbs
rice boiled with saffron of a rudy
gold color; omelets and sweet dishes,
innumerable little china cups of tooth
some pickles, small china bowls con-
tanning various thick soups, but not a
single joint to be seen. Everybody
eats away as if he had never tasted
food before. There are no forks, no
spoons, no plates; but every mans
hand appears to be dipping Mt once
into the innumerable dishes.
Occasionally our host, with his
mouth half full, grunts out an en-
treaty that we should taste some par
ticular delicacy, and in twenty min
utes all is over. Iced rosewater is
poured upon the fingers of each guest
from n silver ever, and he wipes them
upon a delicately embroidered napkin.
About a tenth of what has been pro-
vided has been consumed by the party
the rest is removed and gobbled up
with surprising CELEBRITY by the great
tribe of hungry servants. Pipes are
brought ono more, but there is little
or no conversation; the Persiaus say
that ito talk after a good meal is the
act of an i'll bred man or a fool" And
then we get up and bid our h~ospitable
friend good night. And as we leave,
We see that the mysterious covered
tray is being taken to the banqueting
room, and we know that our fellow
guests and our host will drink, smoke
and gamble until an unholy hour in
the morning.-Good Words.

PeeullaritIes of tho Minus.

Inasmuch as there are no family
names, no village, tribal, or national
rights to be respected, there is nothing
approximating to father right or
mother right. Or perhaps it would be
more exact to say that, inasnuch as
women are only recognized as servants
throughout their whole lives, and as
mothers as soon as they have reached
the proper age, the personality of the
whole family is sunk in that of the
husband and father while he lives.
When he dies he is at once and abso-
lutely forgotten, and each surviving
member OF his family pursues an en-
tirely separate course, in no way con-
corning himself about the Others. Ii
a man dies and leaves a family of in
FAINT children, the care of them de-
wolves upon the mother until the
oldest son reaches the age of about IS;
then he becomes the head of the
family. Female inheritance is utterly
unknown, as would be expected in q
society wherein women have no rights
at all. If u man is so unfortunate as
TO leave no true heir, or SO careless as
not to have adopted one, his property
goes TO his next younger brother, or
his nearest male relative, if he have no
brothers either by birth or adoption
]. X. Goodrich in Popular Science
Monthly.

The French artillery and mitrail-
leuses responded vigorously to the
Krupps, and with deadly effect, but as
far as we could see the German left
continued its advance and staff officers
came up frequently to report that all
was going on well at points hidden
from our view. These reports were
always made to the king first, and
whenever anybody arrived with
tidings of the fight we clustered
around to hear the news, Gen. Won
Moltke unfolding a map meanwhile
and explaining the situation.
This done, the chief of the staff,
while awaiting the next report, would
either return to a seat that had been
made for him with some knapsacks,
or would occupy the time walking
about, kicking clods of dirt or small
stones here and there, his hands
clasped behind his back, his face pale
and thoughtful. He was then nearly
20 years old, but because of his emaS
ciated figure, the deep wrinkles in his
face, and crows feet about his eyes,
he looked even older, his appearance
being suggestive of the practice Of
church asceticisms rather than of his
we'll known ardent devotion to the
military profession. Gen. Sheridan
in Scribner's Magazine.

In the Streets of St. Petersburg.

All the main streets are alive with
droschkies. Their horses are, as a rule,
small; but they go fairly well, and they
are surprisingly cheap. Fares are al
ways settled by bargain. Absolute free
trade prevails in this despotiC land.
There is no tariff. Fares are fixed by
the higgling of the market, so beloved
by the political economist, and n lively
higgling it is, especially when you do
not know a word of Russian, and the
tsvostchik is equally innocent of any
language but his own. l never found
any difficulty.
You make n signal, and down swoop
upon you all the isvostchiks within sight,
each eager for your custom. Holding up
the coin of the realm which you are will
ing to give for the ride, you mention
your destination. A chorus of protests
bursts out, which presumably throw
SCOTT upon your offer, but to you it is as
the chattering of crows. You then walk
off, followed by one or more isvostchiks,
to whom you renew your offer. Seeing
you arc obdurate, one of them will cry
"pojalooyte," you jump in, and the bar
gain Is complete. The driver sits on q
perch in front of you; you sit behind, on
a seat which will hold two. As there is
no rest for the back the lady is supported
by the arm of her follow traveller, q cus-
tom which has a very pretty effect, and
is apparently very POPULARITY. T. Stead
in Contemporary Review.
