irish Landlords in Famine Tlmo.

It is not understood how desperate the
position OF the Irish landlords was in 1915.
Really half of them were ruined There
was grand show on the rent rolls, but
deduct tine charges on the revenues, the
annuities, dover charges, marriage por-
tipns, interest on debts and the remnant
will eat a shabby figure
Sometimes gentleman with a nomina
rent roll OF ten thousand year had hardly
two Thousand Yet he must support the
position Of the man with ten Inevitably
estates Of this kind grew more and more
encountered Half the apparent rnpacity
Of the landlords Is due to the frightful dis
proportion between their revenues and
their state When the famine came many
landlords gave up the struggle Having
long paid the bulk Of their income as in
Jerest TO their creditors, now, there being
no rents they had nothing left 90 pay The
creditors seized on the rent roll since at
thai period they could not sell the land.
All over Ireland there were landlords
who had no more word in the management
of their reputed estates than the poorest
cotter report OF the period tells of one
barony where every one OF the landlords
from Mr. -, who is 10 possession Of
100000 acres. to the lowest of them-was
involved, lived on an allowance, and had
his estate managed by the agency, so That
the poor were placed between a landlord
who was unable to give them any assist
ance, and the agent who had no interest in
giving them any.-Octaye Fhanet in Cent

4 lInra Test.

In a western court witness had
been detailing, with great minuteness,
certain conversations which had oc-
Cured several years before. Again
and again the witness testified tonames
and dates and precise words, and it be-
came necessary for his cross examiner
TO break him up. This was done by a
very simple device While the witness
was glibly rattling of his testimony the
cross examiner handed him law book,
and said. Read aloud paragraph
from that book What forp in
ouired the witness. II will tell you
after You have read it, said the law
yer. and the witness accordingly read
aloud paragraph Of most uninterest-
ing material about lands, appurte
names and Embellishments.
Then the lawyer went on and asked
him a few more questions about his
memory. and the witness was positive
that his memory WIS very good. Sud
denly the lawyer said, by the way,
will you please repeat that paragraph
you just read about lands, appurte-
nances and hercditamentsW why, of
course / could not do that, replied the
witness. You must have queer
memory retortod the lawyer, since
you can repeat things that You say oc-
Cured wears ago, and you cannot re.

Perm.

The town of Perm, though far infe-
rior in dignity of aspect, commercial
importanceand natural beauty to Mini
Novgorod, Kasan and other towns on
the yolga, is not altogether devoid OF
life and interest. Situated on the ele-
waited left bank of tine mother river, I"
as the peasants call her, it commands a
homely bat pleasant prospect, extend
ing over fifteen versts of tie ancient
land ''Biarmy," with its old fashioned
churches and houses.
In Perm you will still see the old fash
toned vehicle of fifty years ago, called
leeneyka, the most atrociousl3 uncon-
Portable contrivance that was ever de-
vised for mortals to sit on, especialls
for ladies. As the seat is long, high
and narrow men can easily sit astride,
but the unfortunate women are obliged
10 sic sideways, with their legs hanging
helplessly down, if they do not happen
to be long enough to reach the foot
board.
Having no support for the bach, they
can keep their equilibrium only by sit
ting in the modern causeuse fashion
and linking their arms through, as in
country dances. If a lady sits alone
she clutches hold Of the drivers wooden
sash, with which he girds up his long,
loose caftan, and is ierked and joltsd
