is a through trunk line extcn ling almost

Not only are the priests subjected to
great hardships and privations, but they
are the butt of all the wits and humor-
lists of the empire. Half the jokes in
the funny papers are about them, and
their lives suggest half the proverbs of
the country. LAS poor as a priest, "
"As stupid as a priest, " GAS wretched
as a priest, 4" GAS hungry as a priest, "
etc, are familiar expressions. Under
the circumstance little better can be ex-
pected of them.
The influence of the priests over the
people is very great. They are the rep
resentatives of the church, in which the
peasant devoutly believes. They baptize
his children, visit him when he is sick,
marry him, bury him and say masses for
the repose of his soul. He is with them
always, like the poor, and if he is a man
of any conscience or ability he cannot
but WELD an immense power. But, still
further than this, the entire system of
political, social and domestic economy in
Russia is based upon the doctrine of au-
tocracy. AS the car is the autocrat of
all the Russias, as the bishop is the auto
crat of his diocese, so is the priest the
pope of the parish, the autocrat of the
village >in which he ministers. That is
about all the satisfaction he gets. will

Animal fat or grease Is allowed to
stand for some time at about so degs.
Fahrenheit, when most of the stearine
separates out; pressure remove the ad-
herent oleine, and the stearine is then
obtained in a solid concrete form. The
oleine is next mixed with cotton seed oil,
purified with fuller's earth, etc, arachis
oil, nut oil, cocoanut oil, etc., at about
so dogs. Fahrenheit; the mixture is then
churned with milk for some time, when
1t is allowed TO flow in a gentle stream
into ice cold water, where it permanently
solidiies. 1t is then milled or ground,
and this operation removes excess of milk
and insures perfect blending at the same
time a small quantity of salt is added,
when we obtain the finished article. The
coloring matter and butter, if required,
are blended in during this part of the OPP
GRAFTON. This is in principle the process of
margarine manufacture. In separating
stearine from oleine in animal fats the
soft fats or greases are used in preference
to the hard fats or tallow. Beef fat is
always used, as being more palatabie.
The stearine is sometimes employed for
candle or soap making; not infrequently
1t is mixed with other fats and passed of
as lard; but this mixture would reveal
an enormous proportion of stearine, by
being harder and not 30 easily fusible as
lard. To get over this, cotton oil is
added to make the mixture more closely
approach the nature and properties of
lard.
A short time ago, when experiment
ing on margarine, Mr.. 7. Bruce Warren
found, after removing a large quantity of
cotton oil, that a quantity of %cocoanut oil
was present. He was completely sur
prised at this result, for the smell of
cocoanut oil is so unmistakable. He
found that cotton seed oil completely
masks the smell and favors of this oil.
Many may ask why, above all others,
should this have been selected for mar
GARNET In the first place, being a con-
crete oil or fat, it is well adapted for such
a purpose; provided its smell and flavor
could be concealed. In the second place,

vegetable or animal fat to the compost

This application OF Darwin's great
theory to commercial competition is more
han a parable. 1t is the scientific expla-
nation Of causes which ave wrecked
civilization in the past and may wreck
them in the future. The struggle must
go on while men arc impelled by the de-
sire for a greater p%rofusion Of what sus-
ain life or makes it happier. 1t often
has been, and often is, carried on by the
sword, but important victories may be
won, and disastrous defeats sustained, by
more peaceful means.
The discovery of the passage round the
Cape transferred the trade of the east
from the Mediterranean to London and
Amsterdam, and most merchants in the
city affirm that the cutting of the Suez
canal has once more deprived England Of
the advantage of situation. The COM
mercial success of Switzerland, however,
proves that national characteristics are at
least as important as geographical posi-
ton, and it is well from time to time to
ask If we are doing all that in us lies to
train those who shall follow us to main
ain what our predecessors have won.-

The Conscientious Newspaper Man.

1t is my experience that a conscientious
newspaper man will do his work-inter-
viewing included-about right II the man
who has the news to give will only let
him. Reporters don't wilfully and ma
liciously misquote takers and misstate
facts, ms they are so generally credited
with doing, and l find that the best plan
to pursue in giving material for publica-
ton is to state the facts clearly and let
the reporter do the dressing up. These
fellows who always insist on being re-
ported verbatim, and who must dictate
the ext of every item they furnish, in
varIably mak a sorry mess of it. An
other thing I've noticed: II n man has a
speech prepared for a banquet, presenta-
ton or any occasion of hat character, he
had better give the reporter the manu-
script and go it blind han trust himself
to stick to his prepared speech, for, nine
times in ten, he'll get away from his
paper beforeghe is half through, in which
case he'll hank his stars forever that the
reporter has n grammatical and reason
ably coherent composition to print instead

Long Distances to Market.
. The huckleberry market at Grand Bay
gave me another glimpse of Saguenny life.
At my camp on the beach | watched the
tide steal up the sands till the great bay
was filed to the brim, and the terraces
of inhabited lands, a verdant amphithea-
tire under bald granite peaks, rested in the
silence OF midnight. Then / walked over
to the wharf to see a quaint market scene
by starlight on the shores of thiss savage
river. AS / drew near the medley of
sounds divided itself into many signs of
human life; the driving OF horses, the
calls of men and women, the talking of a
multitude, filed the obscurity with invis-
ible yet eager spirits. The road WINS lined
on each side with carts and buckboards
piled with boxes, and half draped with
protecting boughs and grass. Half a
dozen buyers moved about among the
crowd, and their lanterns showed u forest
of rough booted legs, of shaggy fetlocks
and muddy wheels, and when the light
was raised to eXamine an opened box of
berries the tanned, furrowed, eager faces
of men came out of the night like heads
by Rembrandt. The darkness was full of
strong human feeling, questions, answers,
offers, refusals, representations, signs of
discOuragement.
a little booth at the end of the wharf
was filed with n crowd watching some
boisterous men playing cards for candies;
with hats tipped back and chins out
stretched in g disputations, they had
shufiled off their mortal responsibilities.
onto the jack of trumps. In the opposite
booth four strong, shaggy, black eyed
men and a wrinkled dame sat about a
dirty table and ate dry bread by the light
of a candle. The talk in this dingy cabin
was low and gloomy; a lad lying on his
back on n bench announced In precise and
bitter speech the condition of things:
The boxes must be large, well filed with
clean fresh berries; the price, then, ladies
and gentlemen, is fifteen centsI'
"Just So" replied one of the men, as he
crunched his crust with vim; 1--WE are
fourteen; we picked hard during two
days, and got sixteen boxes; they gave me
81. 40 for the lot; eighty cents of for the
boxes, caves me SLIGO for the profit. II

to spend u time for them. Now 1 come
from near Lake st. John, about fifty
miles from here, with twenty boxes, and
I've got SO net for picking three days with
twelve hands, and for driving a hundred

Then they were silent for a while, till
the old woman said, in a calm, resigned
way:
well, yes, that's all true enough, but
what can we dof Blueberries arc the only
blessed thing that can be sold for cash.
Where else could we get the $l5, 900 a
