mENnonITEs OF RUSSIA.
The Hsrdships sf Q Christian Sect Undsr
the Cars Government.


The mennonitss OF Russia, as well a.
the Hebrews, ara complaining OF the
seventies Of the dzars government,
and, but for the obstacles To their emil
grafton tho whole body Of thsirn would
probably come 10 this country. They
are a christian sect over three centu-
ries old, and hold baptismal doctrine
not recognized by the orthodox Greek
church. into which the government has
tried 70 drive them.
The Russian mennonltes, who mum
ber only about so, 600. took up their
habitatiOn in southern Russia, near the
Sea Of Azoy, about century ago, ex-
plains the New York sun, having then
left Russia on account Of the hard
ships 10 which they were subjected,
They are d peaceful intelligent, yirtu-
Gus and Industrious people and they
have enjoyed rare prosperity in that
region.
The main trouble OF the government
with them grows out OF their religious
principle OF non-resistance and their
refusal to render military service, For
long period Of time they were exempt
from service by tho DEGREES OF the
czars. but this privilege WIS Withdrawn
twenty years ago They then obtained
permission 10 leave Russia within q
specified time.
In 1873 they began to take advan-
tage OF II. and several thousand OF
them found refuge In this country.
The first colonies went as farmers 10
Kansas and Minnesota, where they
purchased land and got along finely.
The ezar, seeing their determination,
modified his decree Of conscription, and
gave orders that. In time Of war, they
should be required only 10 render SER
vice in the military hospitals The
granting OF this privilege and the ex-
piration Of the period during which
they were allowed TO emigrate stopped
the mennonite movement to America.
The whole body of them was desirous
OF leaving Russia, rs they left Prussia
century ago.
Now again they are suffering hard
ships through the operation Of the
conscription law and through the czars
determination 70 bring them into the
orthodox fold. II permission could be
obtained by them 10 leave Russia they
would follow those OF their brethren
who came here eighteen years ago.

sheep Sheartng.

Many advantages are claimed for
sheep shearing by machinery. The
work Is performed more thoroughly
than by hand, it being calculated that
on an average some ten additional
ounces OF wool per merino sheep are
obtained By its employment. The
operation, moreover, is carried out
more humanely, the cuts and stabs
often inflicted in hand shearing, more
especially when executed as piece
work" being entirely avoided, together
with the consequent damage and
deterioration TO the pelts. II has been
estimated that no less than per cent
of the animals perish from injuries due
principally to hand shearing. The
labor entailed on the operation is also
considerably reduced; and aching
hands, swollen wrists and cuts or stabs
to the worker himself should be things
OF the past.
