The Russian czar is eminently a healthy man. ''He has good head,' remarked to an ambassador in St.Peters- burg. "And what is of even more im- portance," " was the reply, ''he has got d good stomach" He is not nervous and does not get into fidgets. All his habits are regular. In the morning, he reads his letters and meets his ministers, NJ. de Giers on Tuesday, the minister of the interior on Thursday, NJ, Wisehnegrad- sky on Friday. At l, he lunches with his wife and children. Then at or half past, after transacting other business, he goes out for a stroll with his boys. Sometimes, he fells trees, but, unlike MT Gladstone, he equally enjoys saving them into lengths. In Winter time, he helps in clearing away snow from the ice hills. In the evening, he dimes. No one in all Russia leads simpler, health fer, more natural life. He is level head ed, conscientious, sure-footed sovereign, conscious of such responsibilities as he has realized and only afraid of doing that which seems to him to be wrong.- Review of Reviews.

An enemy whom the Russian Emperor fears and against which he is yielding all the forces at his disposal in church and state are the Stundists. The Stund- ists are Protestant Non-conformists whose services used to last an hour and who are called Stundists from the Ger man word stunde, which signifies an hour. They are what we would call in England evangelical dissenters and cor respond to our Methodists and Baptists. They are but feeble folk, who are pro- scribed by law. Propagandism, which is the vital breath of all such creeds, is forbidden under stringent pains and pen alties. They have no places of worship, no powerful hierarchy; their members are humble peasants whose only litera- ture is the Bible and whose only liturgy is their hymn book, yet they are spread ing in the south of Russia at rate which fills the official custedians of the ortho- doX Ark of the Covenant with dismay. M. Pobedonostzeff, the procurator of the Holy Synod, man jealous, intelligent and conscientious according to his lights, stands, like Archbishop Land, near the right hand of the czar. Sovereign and minister are united in holy or unholy zeal against the Stundist heretics. The other day, in appointing a new bishop, the emperor instructed the newly ap- pointed prelate to spare no effort to com bat the sect of the Stundists, which was spreading in every direction.-[ Review of Reviews.

Been too busy selling and shipping goods and wrestling with the Grippe, the last few weeks, to change our ad. before. If you have never visited the new furniture warerooms at Hawley- ville,you had better do so at New designs are being added all the time and the stock is now very complete in all lines. All fresh and new no back numbers; no stale jokes under new headings. have just been reading the advertising columns in number of metropolitan journals. All, or nearly all, start off in the same old familiar strain: Selling off at half price, or much less than cost" Thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth offered at 50c on the dollar.
 Now this is radically wrong; it's not business like. It's either falsehood, CT there is screw loose somewhere .4 If judicious purchase and tas- ty selections have been made, what is the need of selling less than cost. Its downright sacrifice, that has got to be made up somewhere. Good furniture in pretty patterns is being made no cheaper to-day than it was six months ago. The natural inference is that the party who so adver tises, if he means what he says, is loaded up with a lot of uneanny, uneouth designs that you and do not want in our houses at any price.
 I want to say right here that the Hawleyville stock is not of this kind and it is being sold right along, one month with another at a liv- ing commission, but those who thoroughly un- derstand the situation at Hawleyville know that a living commission at Hawleyville means rapid starvation and pauper funeral, in most other places and ln all others that can show stock that will compare favorably with Hawleyville. If goods are sold six months in the year at loss of soc on the dollar, what kind of commission must we expect during the remaining six months.
 Sales since opening the furniture business at Hawleyvile have far exceeded my most sanguine expectations. tWe having patronage from afar and shipping goods to all points of the com- pass. The fact is proven beyond doubt that Hawleyvlle, as distributing point and point easy of access, stands without rival in western Connecticut, if not in the State. The Reading Room is well patronized and thoroughly appre- ciated by the travelling public, who need, howev- CT, feel under no obligation, for, as silent ad- trouble it makes. Give us call while waiting for traias,but don't make excuses for not buying. If you need nothing yourself, you are doing us a favor every time you look through the stock, for you will tell your friends all about it and they will some of them come and buy.

You know all Beatitudes are based on something hard to do or to be. "Blessed are the meek" is it easy to be meek? ''Blessed are the pure in heart;' is that so very easy? "Blessed are they who mourn" "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst-who starve-after righteous ness.' So this new beatitude by its hard ness only falls into line with all the rest.

Drudgery is the gray angel of Success. Look at the leaders in the professions, the ''solid' men in business, the master workmen who begin as poor boys and end by building town to house their factory hands; they are drudges of the single aim. The man of science, and to- day more than ever, if he would add to the worlds knowledge or even get rep utation, must be, in some one branch at least, a plodding specialist. The great inventors, Palissy at his pots, Goodyear machine, tell the secret, "One thing 1 do.''-TW. c. Gannett.
