Religion in Russia.
From the Boston Transcript.

The Russian is very religious man
whenever he leaves his cottage or enters it
he will bow before the image of saint that
invariably has its place in a corner at the
window, and before which a small lamp is
constantly burning. Never will he touch
any food or drink until he has made the
sign of the holy cross; that takes the place
of prayer and is not done without thinking
of the Creator. Whenever they receivs
good tidings their first feeling is to thank
God. When the present emperor, then
crown prince, returned from the war against
the Turks. his carriage that met him at the
station had first to stop at the Kasan's
church that he might thank the Lord be-
fore he drew up at the castle to meet his
family.
The better educated families, especially
those of the nobility. have somewhat out
grown this habit, bordering on supersti-
| ton, and the images of the saints are slowly
disappearing from the houses of the rich.
| No devout Russian will ever neglect the
| religious service on Sundays and holy days;
| the attendance In the churches, therefore,
| Is always good. There are no organs in
| the churches, but well trained chorus of
singers, the voices of which are most i'm
pressive; passages of the Bible are read in
the old Slavonic language, that is not
| further from modern Russian than middle
English from modern English. In this way
even those who cannot read will gain a
rich knowledge of the scriptures that will
become deeply impressed on their
minds. The doors of the churches
are always open and many a passer-
by walks in for silent prayer. Who
ever is tormented by any woe or sorrow-
the man troubled with business matters or
| the mother with anxious cares or the young
| girl IN the perplexities OF a first love-wiQ
buy a candle at the church, light it at the
chandelier and put it in front of the altar,
while praying most fervently to the indi-
vidual saint TO give success in an enterprise,
| remove the cares or sooth the hearts grie'.
The sale of these candles is a source of in
come to the church. According to their
| own taste the parents choose these saints at
the birth of their children, recommending
this Few born soul to the especial care Of
the saint Everybody in praying addresses
his personal saint, who Is supposed TO be the
connecting link between the individual and
God.

SPECTRAL KLEProMANIAos.
A Spiritual Seence Which Cost an On
believer 5000.

believer 5000.
From the Ne,g York Commercial Advertiser,
That curiosity, fully INDUCED, is liable to
prove more expensive than villa at New
port is lesson that has just been thoroughly
learned by certain learned medical gem
tleman who combats the physical ills Of the
dives Of this town. In the matter of spir-
itual manifestations he has always been a
sutf-necked and unregenerate dcubter As
child he scoffed at ghost stories, and
when he grew up the specter world became
a mark for his merry qulps and sarcastic
jests. Despite this he numbers among his
friends many of those who believe in the
existence of shades, and they never neglect
an opportunity to hurl arguments at his
head which may tend to bring him over to
the ranks of the elect. Finally. about two
weeks ago. the doctor responded to the ex.
tent of promising to do little investigating
on his own account. He had never gone to
a Undertaking seance and was anxious to
see what one was like, so he put quiet lit
tie personal in a daily paper, stating that
an unbeliever would like to engage a repu-
table medium for test manifestations. At s
O'Clock last Sunday a little party of eight
personal friends sat with clasped hands in
the doctors parlor and stared anxiously in
the direction of the black cloth cabinet
which was family outlined in the
gloom. A pale young man, accompanied by
an obese female, had answered the doubt
ers and guaranteed to produce a very fine
line of three-ply spooks for 800 bill. For
over three quarters Of an hour visitors from
the just beyond kept dropping into the doc
tors parlor. sailing around his rather ner-
vous guests and departing. Then there was
a long and drearY wait, which was ended
by the upturning Of the gas. The pale
young man and the obese female had van
ished as completely as tie specters they had
been supplying. Their cabinet remained
and with it small sachel filed with white
crepe. In the next ten minutes two wal
lets, watch and four scarf pins we're miss
ing. The evening cost the doctor something
in the neighborhood of 5000, and his disbe-
lief in spirits is now something rebid. The
police were not notified.

Ivote the old party ticket, because
l have always voted it, and SO did
my father before me.
I believe in protective tariff, be-
cause it protects the rich from getting
poor and the poor from getting rich.
/ believe in the national banking
system, because it keeps up the rate
of interest and will help to create
landlordism.and make tenants OF our
now-too-independent farmers.
l believe in watering railroad stock,
because it gives An excuse for high
rates of transportation, and helps to
lower the price Of what the farmer has
to sell and raises the price of what he
buys. This will make him work hard
er and leave politics to the rich.
l believe the present system OF elect
ing president and {. S. Senators is
the best, because it gives the best
chance for the political machine,
whereas by a direct vote OF the people
an honest man might be elected who
would be an enemy to plutocracy.
l believe in keeping up armed mill
tia to protect manufacturers and
mine owners, and to scatter working
men when they meet to discuss meas
ures for the betterment OF their con-
dition-because the workmen have
no business to hold such meetings.
II they are not satisfied let them go
