The women in, Russia do two-thirls of the work iil the country. There ere immense wheat, oat and hay fields everywhere, and in August there is great activity in tho country. The largo majority of persons at work are women. They wear short dresses, plain and straight, and n long piece of cloth over theiI. heads, like the Arabs. The wheat is sown broadcast, and if not cut by the women with sickles is harvested with the old fashioned scytho, which has two pound snead and a. broad, short blade. From the snead up to the handle there is wooden bow something like, in appearance, tho half of heavy bar rel hoop This bow keeps the wheat, etc., from falling back over the scythe handle and scattering. Ihave never yet seen man who would deign to gather up, bind and stack the wheat or oats when once it was felled. The women must do this while the men do the 'scentlernanly'' work, although have seen scythe. The neighbors club together in har- vest and help one another.
 A Russian harvesting rendezvous is quite lively and is the scene of @ motley crowd Tho old men and young, boys and girls, with their mothers, grandInothers and aged women, assemble at daybreak. There arc a number of horses, on which are carried water, food and extra implements. The horses, the boys and men ride, while the old women walk They always carry the scythes, forks and razes back and forth every day, and work as long as there is daylight; and since it is daybreak at 8 a. m. and not dark till 9:30 D. m., the hours of labor are long ones-St. Petersburg Cor.

Horse Meat fin Paris.

Hippophagy seems to be progressing in Paris. Tho first horse meat butchery was opened in 1866 In 1867 Z, ,152 horses were eaten by the Parisians; in 1874, 4,35S; in 1884, 10 323; in 1886, 13, ,708. The siege of Paris in- troduced many Parisians to horse meat, for during that period no less than 65,000 horses were killed and eaten. Thero are now about fifty butchers in Paris who deal exclusively in horse meat, and two slaughter houses, one at Pantin, the other at Vineju1. The butchers buy horses that have met with an accident, or horses that have been overworked, but are still in good health. For such horses they pay 12O to 15O francs. Horse filet, pique with bacon and praised is more common in the Shird class restaurants of Paris than people think. Many a tourist who has been dazzled by the splendor and cheapness of Palais Royal dinner has been unconsciously 0 hip pophagist. However, the greater part of tho | horse flesh slaughtered in Paris and in France I in general is used for making saucisson, hard sausage.
 During the siege of Paris horse flesh was sold as elephant flesh in the following cir cumstances: In December, 187O the three elephants of the Jardin d' Acclimation were sold to butcher of the Faubourg de Honore for 1000 francs, and the butcher retailed them at s pound One of the boulevard restaurants bought five pounds for $15. At | o'clock the first plate was served, and at 80 | there was no more elephant meat left, but the $15 had grown to $12O. This success allowed no hesitation, and during the next fortnight the restaurant continued 10 serve esealopes or elephant made with horse meat. The keeper of this restaurant made fortune during the siege by this and similar tricks. Since then
 there has been no elephant eaten in Paris l Paris Letter

A PART OF MY GREED.

 l hold 1t true, bey ond all fear or doubt, That nothug sweet and good will God blot oIt; That what Ills wondrous mind has planned and
 thought, r 3' And what His wondrous skill and love have
 wrought, .. e. Will always1ast, in spite of flood or flame, And be eternal as His holy name. Ihold it true that death itself is slain, z s To be the victor never more again: That life immortal never can be lost, Though dear eyes close and loving hands be
 crossed;
 Nor anything to nothingness return, While God shall live and lights in heaven burn. Our treasures here must yield to moth aud rust, And we must die and turn again to dust. But God has said-and He will prove it true Behold, my children, make all things new" Through all the universe will sound His voice, Bidding all souls that He has made rejoice, When from the dust there shall at last arise All good, all precious things, beneath the skies.

 - "About four years ago was attacked with what the physicians pronounced neuralgia rheumatism, accompanied with srysipelas.
