MAlDENS IN RUSSIA.
A Pom Picture of the Girl Subjects Of the
Mighty Gar.

A Pom Picture of the Girl Subjects Of the
Mighty Gear.
The daughter is great pet in Rus
sian families, perhaps because there
are generally more sons than daughters.
says Madame Romanoff in the English
Magazine. Take the younger men,
bers Of the imperial family as an ex-
ample, and we find twenty-five grand
dukes and only seven grand duchesses;
and this may be stated to be about the
average proportion in most families.
The necessity for men in the rural dis
tricts as assistants in the agricultural
labors of their fathers, has given rise
to saying, Zone son is no son; two
sons are half son; but three are q
whole son." Notwithstanding the pride
AMI satisfaction with which the birth
of a boy is hailed, the little girl is the
darling, the object of the tenderest
affection and care of parents and broth
ers, not to speak of other adoring rel
atives. Much is not expected of her
in the way of assistance in the family,
she is INDUCED in as far as their means
and circumstances permit, and she takes
it quietly and as her due, butitis rarely
that she does not voluntarily and tacitly
contribute her share in helping her
mother. Her occupations are much
about the same as those OF all Euro
pean girls, but parish work in Russia
existeth not for her. She cannot have
classes at Sunday schools, as religion
is taught by priests or deacons. 1t
would be thought quite extraordinary
and improper were a young unmarried
girl to visit the sick or poor in towns,
but in villages it is sometimes done
under the direction of mamma or
grandmamma. She is undoubtedly
fond of pleasures, likes to be we'll
dressed, and generally adores dancing.
Music is not the Russian girls forte,
nor is solo singing. Most Of the In
stitukas, though they thoroughly know
the theory of music, play like child
of -; of course, there are exceptions,
but it is seldom you find a girl able to
play quadrille or polka off hand.
Girls marry very young in Russia
and there are very few Of those most
estimable individuals called old maids.
There are no colonies for the Russian
to run away to; and statistics show
that the births of boys much exceed
those of girls.
Long engagements are not approved
of, they seldom last longer than a few
months, during which time the tiancee
is the mistress of the house. Her girl
friends assemble to help to sew the
dowry, the sewing afternoon generally
ending in a dance after tea, when the
bridegroom drops in with few bache-
lor friends. Another wedding is thus
often arranged; and so on, little by lit
tie, till, like the fifty-one cards in the
game of ''old maid" they pair of.
and one. generally of the sterner sex,
is left forlorn.

AUSTRALIAN CITIES.
Their Advantages and Dangers From

Many P0lnts
The prevailing state socialism is fill-
ing the larger towns with good things
excellent museums, splendid libra
ries. free reading-rOoms, parks, botan-
ical gardens. manifold places of inter-
est or amusement. These are for tho
multitude, and the multitude in Aus
tralia is unquestionably becoming
southern in its taste for excitement and
amusements. For the rich are, music.
the theater, and clubs as expensive and
almost as luxurious as those of Pail
Mall or Piccadilly. For the children
OF all, excellent schools and UNIVERSE
ties. So rich and poor alike crowds
into towns. which become large with
out becoming crowded, SO wide is the
room for expansion, SO perfect the ap-
pliances of tram. rail and boat for the
suburban residence. Thus the cities
have acquired not only an excess of
population, but also a social and politi-
cal dominance which is neither British
nor American, and for which only a
continental parallel can be found. TO
an outside observer the resulting con-
dition of things seems artificial
and not without grave dangers,
but curiously interesting. as il
Illustrating, new forms of national
growth, possibly incidental to extreme
democratic development. The concen-
tration of population has enabled the
artisan class to secure unequaled pres
emit advantages, but there is justifica-
ton for the view entertained by many
Australians that it will sap the founda-
tions Of. permanent prosperity unless a
check can be found The gravest
problem before Australia is apparently
how to get sufficient agricultural
population to stay upon the land. The
temper of the country is not favorable
to the patient industry of the farm,
with it remote results and slow &C
cumulation. Within the last few years
the curious phenomenon has occasion
ally presented itself of serious dearth

the expenses of the schools for the eDsu-
ing year at $4,000. Of this amount the
matrlculation fees will pay abouts 800

nearly the same amount, leaving about
5000 to be raised by taxation, and the
board as asked the city council to levy a
tax OF $3.50 on the thousand for school
purposes.
The increase in the expenses of the
schools is due to the fact that it was
necessary to employ three more teachers
than were engaged in the schools last
year and TO the building of a negro
