that in the empire there are no less than
100000 Of devout followers II insane

new religions or sects are constantly

the Russian authorities.
One of t.ese secls Is called the Runa-
ways. They lily from their villages or
towns. They believe in returning To a
wild state of existence, destroying their
identity Is much Is possible, and living
like savages. Civilization they regard as
the great curse of humanity, They also
carry on a sort of brigandage, and one Of
their most sacred duties is TO rob
churches.
There is another sect. calling them
selves ChriSts, They adore one another.
Cray dancing forms part IF their relis-
ious ceremonies.
The Skoptsys, another religious body,
believe in self mutitauon. They are also
expert dancers and ulmblers, Barnum
would he proud of such a set of acrobats.
There is another sect that never speak.
They make signs szillfullv.
Bloody sacrifices form part of the re-
ligion OF other fanatics, and the butcher
ing of sons and daughters to appease the
wrath Of the Lord is getting rather too
common.
There are also missionaries who 60

For all kinds of memoranda, notes and
references | use uniform paper
namely, paper cut the size Of a postal
card, common paper, such as one can get
IN any quantity at a printing office for
almost nothing, and cut in the bargain.
A bunch Of these papers, kept together
by rubber band, is always lying at
hand ready for use. Whenever | am
reading book | put one of these papers
as a mark between the leaves, and
it Is the work of only a mo-
ment to note thereon the number of
the page. with a catchword or two as
guide to the character Of the passage.
whenever l strike anything that / wish
to remember. This manner of referring
can be used with a borrowed book as
well as with ones own, as it leavas no
unsightly marks or underscorings. When
the book IS finished | thus have a list of
the parts that are of most significance
to me; and the list may he filed as it is.
or, in case of references of special i'm
portance, It's topics may be drawn off and
kept in topical or alphabetical order.
On these same papers / keep also my
own notes and comments, and all are
kept filed under the same alphabet To
facilitate the finding Of these afterward.
| always give title to a note or refer
ence, like the side heading Of a para
graph. Thus | bring all that l NAV
want to use again, whether lines of
thought that | myself have begun. or
thoughts that | have collected from
others, under one index ready for use
together. - John F. Genung in The
