An tnostIe I'm Russia.

The bishop and his clergy are sepa-
rated by a wide gulf: the prelate is gen
orally an aged monk, suddenly sum-
moned from his cell to his see by the
will of the Emperor, and perfectly lgno-
rant of administrative affairs. when.
az likewise the greatest part of eccle'
siastical jurisdiction, are delegated to
the SYNOD and TO the copsistories. His
principal duty is TO show absolute obe-
dence to the Car and zeal in the sup
preston of heterodoxy. The lower
clergy. the popes, mostly sons OF priests
and married TO girls of the same
class. are without any protection
against the arbitrary power OF the
bishops, wretchedly paid, obliged
to cultivate their own glebe, entirely
ignorant, uniformly given to drunken
ness, and confne themselves to the per-
Torrance of ritualistIc ceremonies,
such as marriages, funerals. and exer'
cising the houses and stables OF the
peasants. The pay for these perform
ances not being fixed, there is con-
slant haggling for fees. and Engel-
CART in his sketches From the Coun-
try, states that the average income OF
a Pope from these causals is about
thirty five kopecks a day. Under
such circumstances there can be no
question of religious instruction and
cure of souls; the Popes do not know
the fundamental Christian doctrines,
they do not read the Bible, and they
are consequently unable TO contribute
anything to the religious education oil
the people.
Now. given this condition of the Rus
sian Church, it is self-eyident that re
ligious liberty cannot exist in Russia

facts or makes admissions which refutt
her own assertions. In her article she
says:
I'VE consider every schism as
plague, whose infection has TO be

after the ideal of possessing as many
creeds as there are sign-posts; nor do We

Picturesque Prayers.

The young host and hostess were
what is known as smart" people, such
as one might be slow to credit with
thoughtful or reverent habits ; never
theless, their practice was TO conduct
a simple service, which became not
only a spiritual refreshment and pu-
tifyipg influence, but very notable
feature in home life. 1t is true that
the house was one of unusual beauty

ceilings, carved-oak paneling and lat,

Gently and in order. On the morning
in question the host was absent, his
young wife read prayers. She was all
in scarlet-a Directoire dress OF scarlet.
As she stood in the reading desk, her
bright figure relieved against the dark
oak panels, and read the solemn words
in clear, unfaltering accents, one could
not but feel that if this little ceremony
had been omitted far more would have
been lost to the day than the few min
utes thus occupied. We cannot all live

Russian Intolerance.

Russia is the only Christian State
where not only propsgandism Is for
hidden to other creeds and reserved 10
the national Church, but where even
the spontaneous conversion from the
latter to another creed is heaVliy
punished by the State. That this IS the
case we shall see in examining how far
II il true when Nine. Novkoff says: In
Russia you may be Protestant, Catholic
or Mohammedan. You may practice
your rites and worship God IN your
own way, and also bring up your chill
drea in your creed" From the reign
of Ivan Ill. to this day the history OF
Russia has been one of constant con-
quest, and, in extending ever anew her
frontiers in Europe and Asia, she was
Obliged 10 give "a legal status to the
religion OF the annexed countries.
Since Peter the Great at every new &C
QUESTION the Cars promised TO respec.
the religion and the public worship OF
their new subjects. The German was
allowed TO remain Protestant, the Pole
Catholic. the tartar and Khirgiz Mussul-
man. the Israelite Jewish. How FAR
these Promises were kept we shall see
further on. But all these creeds, which,
in the official language are termed for
e,en confessions, y are only authorized
for the conquered provinces and immi-
grated foreigners, not for the Russians

nav, a Jew is not allowed tc turn PRO

Nayille Mr.. Pobedonoszef declares:
That, Russia drawing her vital prln-
ciple from the Orthodox creed, IT is
sacred duty bequesthed to her by his
tory, and an essential condition of her
national existence, to discard from the
Orthodox Church everything when
might menace its security. According
TO the opinion of the high procurator.
in Russia the Western creeds, far from
having abandoned their domineering
pretensions, are always ready to attack
not only the power, but even the unity
of the fatberland. The Government
cannot admit the liberty of their propa'
ganda, it will never allow the children
OF the Orthodox Church TO be torn
away from it and to be enrolled in for
eign confessions. This Russia declares
in her laws and confides for it in the
justice of Him who alone governs the

Hood knew the tragic heart OF
towns. and was almost the first OF our
poets t. recognise in poetry the social
problems of great cities. Until Hood
wrote It may even be said that English
poets had little or nothing to say about
cities. Poetry had haunted the quiet
dales of Westmoreland and the sunny
heights Of Italy, the happy places OF
flowers and feasting, the solemn places
of tragic gloom where worldwide his
tories had been shaped, but Il had
shown no appreciation of the tragic
miseries of great cities. Wordsworth
saw no vision from Westminster Bridge
but the vision OF the dawn adding splen-
dour and majesty TO the long lines OF
houses and the broad sweep OF fllsh'ng
rive. Even Shelley, with all his SYM
patby for suffering, wrote no poem
directly dealing with the slow martyr
dom of the obscure and half-famisbed

Awful Fire in Quebec.

Tongue PoISTE, QUE, May G. The
Government insane asylum at this place
was destroyed by fire to-day. There were
in the institution when the fire broke out
|, 800 lGnatics. 1t is believed that 200 OF
these have perished.
A long line of gaunt towers and mass
of blazing debris reflected in the wild eyes
of the maniacs is all that is left of the luna
tic asylum, and the horrible sights that
were witnessed during the destruction of
the building will never be forgotten by the
spectators, though to the lunatics it was a
time of supreme glee, and in their delight
they dsported themselves amid flames and
waved their arms in turbulent satisfaction
at the ruin that was being wrought Not
until the walls tumblcd over their heads
were their maniacal screams silenced.
There were incarcerated in the asylum
300 lunatics, for the place was more like
a prison than hospital, and this evening
not more than l, 100 had been accounted
for But many had escaped into fields
and woods. The number of dead is now
purely matter of conjecture and is not
likely to ever be ascertained, since no 9th
er record is kept than the asylum books,
and these were destroyed in the fire. TAX
ing into consideration all the evidence
from firemen, halfsane inmates, the Sis
ters in charge, bystanders and personal
observation, it is conservative estimate
to say that 100 victims met their death in
the flames, although some assert that the
number is 200.
