Apart from the fact that the great bulk
of Russians are sincerely pious, the pre-
liminary exercises enjoined by the Greek
church as preparation for the great
holiday are such as to predispose even
the most unfeeling individuals to the
sense of something exceptional lingering
in the air.
Preparations for Easter begin as early
as the Carnival, week during which
devout people already abstain from
meat, though they eat everything else
and freely enjoy the frolics pertaining to
the time. With the first day of Lent
about ninety millions of Russians-eighty
millions comprising the peasant class
alone-give up eating meat, eggs and
milk, and henceforth subsist entirely on
vegetable diet, the poorest relying
chiefly ON picked cabbage, cucumbers,
buckwheat Cruel, dried peas, black bread
and "kvass," a slightly fermented home
made drink, though not intoxicating in
the least. A great many well to do peo-
pie likewise abstain from fish, which, ac-
cording to the severe rules of the Greek
church, can be, eaten in Lent only on
Annunciation day and on st. Lazarus
Saturday, preceding Palm Sunday.
1t can well be conceived that the hu.
man system gets very much run down
by such a diet when kept up for seven
consecutive weeks, and that in conse-
quence Of it nerves begin to play sad
havoc with delicate constitutions. Then,
as if this were not sufficient, comes the
week of church devotions obligatory on
every member of the Greek church pre-
vious to the receiving Of the Holy Sacra-
ment. These devotions imply going to
church at least twice day and once in
the night, the services lasting about two
hours on an average. Though most men

weighs about six ounces.
Roadways with the macadanl top and
with or without the Telford base may be
constructed from a a'common dirt road.
The method for such work is described
in a recent article in The Philadelphia
Record. A variety Of macadam roads
are now under way in the vicinity OF
Philadelphia, and this article evidently
treats the matter from practical point
of view:

The Food of Man.

The lower mammals can live and
flourish with comparatively little
change of diet; not so man. He de-
mands food not only dissimilar in its
actual grosser nature. but differently
prepared. In word for the efferent
nervous impulses, on which the di-
gestive. processes depend, to be prop
erly supplied, it has become necessary
that a variety of afferent impulses
through the eye, ear, nose, palate)
reach the nervous centers, attuning
them to harmony, so that they shall
act, yet not interfere with one another.
Cooking greatly alters the chemical
composition, the mechanical condi-
sition, and, in consequence, the flavor,
Il the digestibility, and the nutritive
value of foods. To illustrate: meat

magnitude in the case of most vege-

chemical compounds are replaced by
others, while some may be wholly re-
