Wives of Russian Priets-

There is only one happy woman in Russia-the priests wife--and it is a common expression to say: "As hap py as a priests wife" The reason why she is so happy is because her husbands position depends upon her.
 If she dies, he is deposed, and be- comes mere layman, and his proper ty is taken away from him and dis tributed, half to his children and half to his government. This contingency makes the Russian priest careful to get a healthy wife. if he can, and makes him take extraordinary care of her, after he has secured her. He waits upon her in the most abject way. She must never get her feet wet. and she is petted and put in hot blankets if she has so much as a cold in her head. It is the greatest possible good fortune for girl to marry a priest infinitely better than to be the wife of
 noble. Our You9q People.

VALUABLE BOOKS.
Rare Volumes That Are Worth Their
 Weight in Gold

Rare Volumes That Are Worth Their
 Weight in Gold.
 It is no unusual thing to see small volumes that you can hide almost in a vest-pocket go for from S20 to SS0. Some books, if they are rare enough of the incunabulG and black-letter kind-will bring hundreds of dollars The first edition of one of Longfellow' s books, 1.-The Coplas de Manrique, !" thin and dirty though it be, brings al- most always fifteen or twenty times it's original price. Tennyson's first thin volume, containing also his brothers poems, which must have been published for not more than $1 50, I saw sold the other day for only trife short of $40. ''Fir st editions" are especially stimulative to prices, as there are so many collectors who pride themselves on their possession in this line. The edi- tions, however, must be of books and authors themselves highly es- teemed. Their value rests on the fact that, having long been out of print, they are positively unprocurable. ex- cept by the bare accident which the book auction occasionally affords. An uncut copy of a first edition or book has extra value, for it bears it's own evidence that no bookbinder has cut down the margin.
 It is surprising to see how dingy and apparently worthless some of the rare books are that bring high prices. If you do not know the special charm that is bestowed on the air to the initiated by one of these suspicious volumes, of course you can not rate it highly. You would give more for a gill-edge modern book that has just preceded it, and was sold for 25 cents But now the coveted prize is an- nounced. and. To! it goes up to, per- haps, $S5 or $100. You must be born a book -fancier to know wherein that value lies. Paper and print and de- scription are powerless to commit nicate the information. - CoSmopoli- tdn.

Hi, therer called voice to Roy, Q few days afterward. Roy was walk ing along the street, having just taken a sorrowful look at the window inside of which were the fishing-rods, and settled on one he would have bought, if he could have bought any. It was Mr. Pike who called. and Roy went to- ward him with cheeks again turning red, and wondering as he had wonder ed the hundredth times, if MT. Pike knew.
 Here's your half-dollar," said MT. Pike. '.Did you think I meant to make you pay it for one marbleP"
 Roy hung his head and held back his hands
 ''Take it." said Mir Pike, grasping the small hand and putting the coin in- to it. ''But let me tell you, my little man," he added in a more serious tone, you'd better face right about in this matter of being sneaky and de- ceitful. You've got long life ahead of you, and if you go through it paying away truth and honor and manliness for every trifie you want, it will be a much worse bargain than paying fifty cents for marble"
 "Tll remember. sir, and thank you," said Roy, in very humble tone. I'll run and bring back the marble"
 Mo-" said MT. Pike. You can keep il"
 ''But I hate the very sight of it said Roy.
 'Never mind that. Put it among your other marbles, and play with it Don't trade it nor give it away, but let it always remind you to stand by fair and honest dealings as long as you live"

The worst fiend they encounter is the

When Partisan ladies smoke, they use
deliciously scented cigarettes tinctured
with roses, carnations or heliotrope. A
French journalist has recently visited
the great establishments where cigarettes
are manufactured for fashionable women
exclusively. The most expensive kind
made unites the fragrance of delicate
flowers with a soupcon of opium. The
journalist being evidently a scolds
the Partisan bellies for debasing them
selves to the level of the brute creation
-man-and warns them that they are
running their teeth and contracting the
bondage of the opium habit. The soup
con of the Chinese drug should be left
out, of course; but it might not be a bad
idea to encourage effeminate youth of the
masculine sort to smoke these ladies'
cigarettes. Heliotrope, c|arnation or rose
perfume might do something toward
fumigating the smell of burnt paper
which now pervades the atmosphere OF
streets and parlors.-New York Tribune

An Actress Playing Corpse.

1t is not easy for a good actor to play a
corpse. Miss Annie Russell had an ex-
perience the other evening that illustrates
a scarce suspected difficulty, yet one that
might easily turn a sad scene into a ride
ulous farce. In the last act, for fully ff-
teen minutes, the lady maid of Astolat IS
seen by the audience stretched out upon
her bed that has been lain upon the barge,
her limbs rigid, her features firm and one
hand visible, stiffened in death. A white
light is thrown upon her. A feeling of
sadness pervaded the audience as they
watched the pale countenance. Not u
single person in the theatre knew what
was passing through the mind of the
corpse. Miss Russell was in perfect
agony. She felt that her rigidity of limb
end pensiveness of feature were sadly i'm
reriled. Her nose twitched, and she felt
that she was about to sneeze. Horrors!
Farewell, smooth, placid features locked
in death; farewell, tears standing in many
eyes, and, horrorsl-laughter, ~convulsive
laughter Fortunately she did not sneeze.
But, oh my! if l had, she said plain

They evidently don't believe in duels in
Italy. The recently promulgated penal
code decidedly sets its face against that
fashionable French amusement.
According to its provisions, the sending
of a challenge renders the person sending
it liable to imprisonment for from three
to six months, The principals in a duel,
even if they do net succeed in wounding
each other, may be kept in durance vile
for the latter period, while the seconds, if
the meeting takes place, are liable to a
similar penalty. Nor is punishment
avoided because the ''event" has taken
place outside of Italian territory. In ad-
dition, any one insulting a non-combatant
because he refuses to fight may be kept
behind prison bars for a month or a year,
according to the gravity of the ~offense.-
