Russian FOndness for Display.

There is 10 people on earth so o of
display as the Russians. The imperial
family sets the example with the money
wrung from the poor, the princes and
mobiles follow, and Of course the private
citizens must keep up the fashion. Their
hospitality is proverbial, 1t is their great
est pride. Strangers are always enter
tanned in the most lavish manner and
one who carries TO Petersburg or Moscow
letters Of Introduction from influential
people, is sure TO be wined and dined as
long rs he remains.
But behind all this ostentatious display
is practiced an economy which the people
try TO conceal ms if they were ashamed Of
it. The private portions of the gorgeous
homes, the living rooms are usually plain
and comfortless, and the cost of n dinner
party is sufficient TO keep the family for
q month or more. 1t Is go III all the royal
residences. The show rooms are gor-
geous but the living rooms do not keep up
the standard. They are plain and poor
enough TO make u fair average. The
ladies of the ordinary household have
their party and dinner dresses from Paris,
but the garments in which they appear
when not on dress parade are made by
their own servants at home--always plain
and often shabby w Eleroy Curtis.

The Use of Novels.

The use OF reading is TO tighten tho
load OF life and to open vistas Of thought
which otherwise would be closed to, us.
Nobody who has any sense wants TO 90 TO
school again and "StodCe' himself with
mere information. There are, of course,
persons who yearn TO learn the names OF
the kings Of Judah in their proper order,
and to hear how backing is made; but
they are no better for il when they ha"o
acquired the knowledge, even if las often
happens) they are not seized with a dis
tresslng desire TO impart il TO their fellow
creatures. II has been whispered to me
by persons moving in intellectual circles
that the effect OF even the higher cult
ure" is not necessarily e~Xhilarating. 1t
may improve the mind without improving
the man, and as a companion in fact it
often leaves him duller than il found him,
because he has been educated beyond his
wits. The mind OF man is very curious
and n be catered for without ones
inquiring into its character.
What makes me laugh in my sleeve is
TO see the fury into which preachers and
teachers and lecturers all lash themselves
because nine out of ten will persist in
taking fiction ont of the lending libraries
instead of improving literature" 1t
seems to be quite ineXplicable to most Of
them, though some, | see, attribute it to
original sin. In connection with this sub
ject it is pleasant, but by 40 means sur
prising to those who are really acquainted
with it, TO learn that Darwin was n de
vourer of novels. After middle life he
lost his taste for music, painting and even
poetry. "On the other hand, " he writes,
~"novels, which are works of Imagination
and even those which have nothing re-
markable about t~hem-have for some
years afforded me prodigious relaxation
and pleasure, and | often bless the race
Of nOvelists. A large number of novels
have been read aloud TO me, and ! love
them all, even if they are only middling,
especially if they end well. A law ought
to be passed prohibiting them to end
badly ."-Independent.

Itemizing the Little Expenses.

''It is a good thing to keep an account
Of your small expenses" ex-Minister
John Bigelow once said to an acquaint-
ance, as he entered an item in his note
book. His listener smiled at the remark,
but took it to heart. In recently telling
the story of his experience he said that,
up to that time. he had never thought of
the amount il cost him annually for cigars
and drinks and treats arI other sundries.
He began TO itemize the cost daily. He
was amazed at the end Of the year when
he footed up the sum at $50. A change
was wrought in him. He determined
that, for the next year, he would keep
such expenses down to One-third Of the
sum in question. "And now he said,

Any man thinks he can teach school.
The college boy teaches in the intervals Of
his vacation to bring in q little money, or
makes a pastime of it for q year or two
after he gets his diploma, and while he is
deciding upon Il profession. The man
who can do nothing else feels that he can
always fall back upon teaching. 1t Is no
disparagemen. to the many able m IN
scientious instructors TO say that there is
a large number of incompetcnts in the
profession, men and women who are not
qualified either by natural gifts or train
ing for their work, who, while they may
have the technical knowledge required,
lack e~ntirely-and this is the worst of all
that warmth of nature that would
enable them to kindle the sacred fire Of
pure aspiration in the breasts of the
children under their care. They have
nothing in them, and SO they give nothing
out.

History OF the Bean.

The common bean WAS cultivated by the
ancient Egyptians, but their priests re-
garded it as ''unclcan." The Old Tesla
ment mentions the bean twice, and il is
certain that the Hebrews knew Of its ex-
istence ut least 1000 years B c.. The
ancient inhabitants Of Switzerland and of
Italy, in the age Of bronze, cultivated a
small fruited variety of this plant. 1t
was also kuown TO the ancient Greeks and
TO the ancient Latins, and it grew wild in
northern Africa in the days of Pliny.
The first cultivation of the bean is pre-
historic. 1t was probably introduced into
Europe, says De Candolle, by the western
Aryans Celts and Slavs) at the times Of
their earliest migrations. A century be-
fore the Christian era it went into China,
and still later into Japan, and only re-
Gently into India. There were probably
two places where it grew wild before cul-
tivation-south OF the Caspian sea and
the north Of Africa. The bean would long
ago nave become extinct had not man cul-
tivated it.-Good Housekeeping.
