Russian Priests and Monks.

Although the people are forever in
need of the services of the priest, they
pay him but poorly. For the highest
ceremonies he receives one or two roubles,
and for the smallest and most frequent a
few kopecks. The priest and the monk
being both poor, it is no uncommon
sight to see them bargaining for mar
rage or a burial, and disputing the price
as they dispute only in Russia. From
that all sorts of anecdotes have sprung.
On one occasion it was a priest, who, to
be revenged on father for his avarice,
gave the child ridiculous name at bap-
tism.
On another, q peasant asked his min
lister for permission to get married in an
other parish. every good" said the
priest, "but have you calculated what
your doing so will cost me2 Now, in
the first place would have married you.
Well, that is 30 many roubles. Then,
you will have children, say seven; that
would be seven baptisms. Next, several
of those children would die, say three;
that would be three bxials in my pocket.
After that you would have sons or
daughters to marry, say four; that would
be four marriages I should lose" Eyes,
that's very well counted up" replied the
moujik; "but you are already an old
man, and you might be dead long before
all that could happen" ''That's true"
returned the priest; "we are all mortal,
and for that reason I forbid you to leave
the parish, and I shall only ask you ten
roubles for your marriage. "-Stanley

Work of a Drug Clerk.

People have no idea what a much
abused class of workers are the drug
clerks. They have to spend years study
ing chemistry and other branches con-
nected with the pharmaceutical profess
sion, and after they go to--work what do
they get? The answer iS-precious little
Aside from the small compensation al
lowed us for our services, there are the
long hours and Sunday work. rarely
work less than thirteen hours a day, and
am required to work even harder on the
seventh day of the week than the first.
Besides filling prescriptions and serving
customers with other articles in the line
carried by the trade, am kept on the
run to the soda fountain. The drug
clerks generally have but really little
time to enjoy the good things of this life,
and, after serving many years in the
business, can truthfully say that there
is little in it. The salaries paid years
ago were better than now, but even then
it was not a lucrative profession. The
cause of the present low salaries is the
large accessions to the ranks of the medi-
cine mixers year after year. They are
being turned out of the colleges OF phar-
macy in droves every year, and when
beginning do not object to working for
low wages. The consequence Of this is
that the salaries of the old timers have to
come down, as the owners of the drug
stores do not care about paying more
than they can avoid.-Drug clerk in
obe-Democrat.

The Egyptian Heaven.

Earth was not to the Egyptians what
It is to us-a globe carried safely through
space by the laws Of gravitation. Every
body in Egypt knew that it was fiat,
oblong, quadrangular slab, more like the
upper board of a table than anything
they could imagine. 1t was surmounted
by flat, iron roof stretching at some
distances from it and supported by four
strong pillars, which prevented it from
falling and crushing what was under
meath. Thus the world was like two
stored house, the various parts OF which
might be connected, as they are in our
houses, by staircase or by ladder.
The Egyptians supposed that there was
somewhere in the west tall ladder
which went up straight from earth to
heaven. Gods and goddesses watched it
day and night Nobody was allowed to
climb it unless he had the password, and,
even after giving it, those poor souls
were in danger Of never reaching the
top who were not helped by the hand Of
some piteous divinity. Once on the solid
floor of the armament they travelled
northward until they came to the brink
of the boreal ocean; there they found
tie ferry boat or the ibis of Thot, the
Judge Osiris and his assessors, the island
of the happy, where they settled forever
and ever among the indestructible stars,
as indestructible as any Of them.-Pro-
zessor Maspero.

Tho Oocl<ro>ch of India.

81 should like to make your flesh
creep" is the involuntary thought of one
who essays to describe the Indian cock
roach. Who that has been in India does
not know tbs 60, shining, iu savored,
coffee colored thing seen only in dimly
lighted places, the eyes starting out of
the head, the long, ever moving feelers,
the swift, uncertain movements, the sud-
den, uncontrolled flight when he dashes,
perhaps, into your face, and for brief
and horrible moment his clammy legs
cling to your skin2 What life he must
lead! Ever in cowardly terror of his
life, his perpetual Instinct is to hide
himself. From some dark corner he
glars at you with guilty eye. AS he
darts from place to place he knows you
will kill him if you can, and he knows he
deserves to be killed. Even in the houses
of the highest in the land the cockroach
is not unknown. Boots, gloves and
books bear witness to his ravages, and a
pungent smell betrays his presence in
your wardrobe.
But the paradise of the cockroach is a
ship. 1t is in the depths of the ships
hold, where he may hide among the
cargo undisturbed and feed on all rank
things, that he is in his glory. Happily
he seems unable to live except in trop-
ical heat, so that in the great passenger
steamers constantly returning t. Europe
he is seldom seen. The home of his
heart is the hold of the ship who course
is limited to the tropical seas, There
among bales of rice and keg wi
where darkness reicnS and the ar Is hot
and foul and where human foot rarely
intrudes, he roams at will from post 10
post. Thence the more venturesome
spirits ascend to the upper decks and
haunt saloons and cabins, and especially
pantries and storerooms, where corners
and crevices shelter them and there are
endless chances Of 'loot." Hence comes
the chief ingredient of that sickly atmos-
phere which strikes the sense on descend
ing from the outer air and often makes a
voyage in such vessel a penance in
deed.-Blackwood's Magazine.

A Land of Cigarettes.

have not yet seen q single cigar ex
cept my own. All smoke cigarettes
The result is, am forced when talking
to any one to avoid his breath as much al
possible. The smoke from the cigarette
is inhaled and makes the lungs fetid and
must injure health. May not this tt
some extent increase the dread disease
consumption, which am told is rathe:
common In this land? At the hotels
meals are served In the rooms with TIC
addition to the cost, and judging from
the tea trays being carried along the
corridors of this hotel I would think that
all of its largo population take their
morning meals and late suppers in the
private rooms. Indeed, the manager, to
whom / complained that l could not
find anything ready in the restaurant
until nearly o, informed me he would
rather would take the early meal in
my room, and that it could he had as
early as z. The people here are very
late risers. Twilight lasts till nearly 10.
The people retire very late and shops are
all closed till after IN the morning.
To nibble at something seems to be a
human characteristic; every country has
its particular nibble. In America the boys
eat peanuts and the girls chew gum. In
Japan they eat q small seed, I now forget
what. In China and India they chew
sugarcane. In Siam, Burmah and
southern India and Ceylon, betel nuts.
In Egypt and Turkey, pumpkin seeds.
In Greece, watermelon seeds. Here
every one cracks sundower seed. In the
street cars, at the gardens, and along the
streets people are seen eating this seed,
and at every corner women and boys are
selling them. Carter Harrison's Moscow

Last Friday we had the pleasure Of
paying a pleasant visit to Columbia.
We noticed along the road from Pros
perity to Columbia that the farmers
have been busily engaged at work and
are about through planting cotton
though we regret to say that small
grain along the road is looking little
sorry, however, good season Of rain
would certainly add to disappearance
and improvement. Amongst other
improvements along the road we were
delighted to notice that our flour
ishing little town Pomaria now has
the advantage Of a nice new depot and
waiting room which certainly adds
very much to the appearance of the
little town. We returned home from
the city on the Laurens train Saturday
evening feeling that we had enjoyed a
pleasant trip. Columbia Is certainly Il
beautiful and progressing city and we
always like to visit there. SIGMA.
