The empire of Russia is an aggrega-
ton of many diverse nations and peo-
plies wrested from two continents.
Contributory levies have been exacted
in the course of time from Turkey,
Tartary. Circassia. Persia, China and
the entire domain of Siberia. The chief
acquisitions have been secured since
the year 1552, chiefly through the in
strumentality of the Cossacks. those in
domitable and constant allies of the
Muscovites, who, from the very begin
ming of their predatory incursions have
constantly pushed their way into new
territory until they finally overrun the
whole immense region which stretches
from the northern boundary of China
to the Arctic ocean and eastward from
the Ural mountains to Behring sea

Bed treatment is running into ex.
treme styles. A few years ago, when
brass bedsteads first came into use,
many people adopted them, principally
for their cleanliness-they had no hid
ing hooks and cracks and crevices for
the depredatory moth or the annihi-
lative bug. Indeed. brass was deemed
repellant to the bug world at large.
Little by little, though, the brass bed

and flowing mantles in difference to

beds Two hundred years ago beds and
chiffoniers were profusely hung with
fabrics, and to-day the fashion is re-
turning with startling force, and bed

YOUTHFUL CHAPERONS.

One of the Funny Things That the Female
College Has Given Us.
have little cousin no bigger than
my thumb.
Well, that is not strictly true and
substantial as fact, but it will do as
figure of speech.
She is wonderful little creature, IS
bright as a dollar and as pretty as a
fairy. She went through school and
went through college like a streak Of
creased lightning, feminine gender.
She graduated at the top of the class,
and the only limit to her honors was
that the supply gave out would not
dare to tell the age at which she got
her sheepskin, it was So little.
Now, there is a certain kind of fame
which travels quick, and when my
pretty little cousin made up her mind
TO teach for a year or two pending the
time when the hero should come and
set her to darning socks and making
cake, the offers poured in from all
quarters of the compass. You would
have thought that teachers were the
scarcest kind of an article. and SO /
suppose they are-that is. real smart
ones
She took her pick of number Of
gilded offers. modestly declining to be
made president OF n western college
and sticking up her nose at mere pub
lie school principalship.
As happy medium, and good thing
to practice on, she took position in
fashionable young ladies' seminary in
the city of New York, with about three
hours day of work and nice fat sal
airy attached. Oh, my little cousin is
smart in more ways than one. She
knows on which side of her bread to
look for butter and molasses.
But the joke of it is that in the school
to which she has gone the teachers
have to play the part of chaperons to
the young ladies when they wish to add
special branches to the curriculum of
their studies. 1t is all very pretty in
theory, but it looks decidedly funny to
see my sweet little seventeen-year-old
cousin, Just as full of fun as she is of
Greek and mathematics. engaged in the
solemn duty of escorting a lot of nine
teen-year-old misses to places of amuse-
ment- i don't wish to give my cousin
away, nor will mention the particular
school which is blessed by her presence
and dignity, but don't mind telling in
confidence that it is not many miles
from Fifth avenue and that when she
is going to convoy a flotilla of darlings
she sends me word. and if ever a fellow
gets the worth of his matinee tickets I
happen to know Tie nan.
My blessings on the youthful chap
eron! She is filling long tclt want

TAKING A SILHOUETTE.

simple Pictures That Are Likely to Become
Fashionable.
There seems some likelihood that sil-
nouetting will be again taken up as an
amusement for amatuer artists.
Black profile portraits of celebrities
who lived in the second half of the last
century. when this mode of portraiture
was in vogue, are now eagerly collected
and high prices paid for them
The silhoutte was derived from
Eticnne de Silhouette, a French minis
ter of finance in 1859. who introduced
several parsimonious fashions during
his administration, called Ia Sill
houette, name which continued to be
applied to the black profile portraits.
Silhouettes were executed in various
ways. One of the simplest is that of
tracing the outlines of shadow profile
thrown on sheet of paper, and then
reducing them to the required size,
either by the eye or by means of a
photograph. The camera obscura and
camera lucida are also occasionally
used for the purpose. Some profilists
displayed considerable talent in cutting
silhouettes by hand, with pair of
scissors.
The appearance of silhoucttes is
greatly improved by adding the
principal markings of the hair and
drapery, which if judiciouly done. has
a very good effect.-N. Y. Continent

The sudden appearance upon the
ground of a considerable supply of an
edible substance astonished certain
people of Asiatic Turkey one day re-
Gently. II came during a heavy fall of
rain between Merlin and Diarbekir
and covered a circular area some six or
eight miles in circumference. Some of
it was gathered up and made into
bread, which was of good taste and
very digestible. Specimens of the SUBJ
stance have since been submitted to
botanists, who find that it is in the form
of small grains, yellow outside and
white and mealy inside and that it is a
lichen (Lecanora esculenta) known to
occur in some of the arid regions of
western Asia. 1t is supposed that the
grains were drawn up in a water-spout
and transported by the wind at a con-
siderable height in the atmosphere. A
French traveller has reported that q
similar fall of lichen occurred in many
parts of Persia in 1928. when il covered
the ground to the depth of nearly an
inch and was eaten by animals and
collected by the inhabitants Many
other falls are said to have been men

You are not lazy, and still you are an

you have done good whole days work
in, say. one day. You do not very much
dislike to work, and still you do not
work much, merely because it does not
seem to you that you could get much
for it. This habit of uselessly wasting
time is the whole difficulty. and it is
vastly important to you, and still more
SO to your children, that you should
break this habit. 1t is more important
to them, because they have longer to
live, and can keep out of an idle habit
before they are in it easier than they
can get out after they are in.

fact is both these classes are manuf act

he has had chance for extra training.
Another is in perfect health because he
