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 burial, and disputing the price
as they dispute only in Russia. From
that all sorts of anecdotes have sprung.
On one occasion it was priest, who, to
be revenged on father for his avarice,
gave the child ridiculous name at bap-
tism.
On another, a 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 me9 Now, in
the first place I would have married you.
Well, that is 20 many roubles. Then,
you will have children, say seven; that
would be seven baptisns. Next, several
of those children would die, say three;
that would be three burials in my pocket.
After that you would have sons or
daughters to marry, say four; that would
be four marriages 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 forbid you to leave
the parish, and shall only ask you ten
roubles for your marriage. STANLEY

The result is, am forced when talking
to any one to avoid his breath as much as

is inhaled and makes the lungs fetid and

common In this land9 AT the hotels
meals are served In the rooms with no
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 could not
find anything ready in the restaurant
until nearly 0, informed me he would

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 small seed, 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 sunhower 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

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 get2 The answer is-precious little.
Aside from the small compensation al
lowed us for our services, there are the
long hours and Sunday work. I 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, I am kept on the
run to the soda fountain. The drug
clerks generally have but really ittla
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
Globe-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 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 a two
STORED house, the various parts OF which
might be connected, as they are in our
houses, by a staircase or by a 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 Coclkroach 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 the g., shining, ~ 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 to Europe
he is seldom seen. The home of his
heart is the hold of the ship who coarse
is limited to the tropical seas. There
among bales of rice and keg, '''i
where darkness reigns 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.

South Americas TAN volcass-.

Cotopad is the loftiest of active vol
canoes, but is slumbering now. The only
evidences Of action are the frequent rum
bEngp that can be heard for a hundred
miles and the cloud of smoke by day and
the pillar Of fire by night, which con-
stantly arise from crater that is more
than 1900 feet beyond the reach of man.

On the southern slope of Cotopaxi is a
great rock, more than 1900 feet high,

that itswas once the summit Of the vol

who have seen Vesuyius can Judge Of the
