are, however, more than half a million
peasant villages. and these villages con-
tain the vast population of Russia, which
forms nearly one.tenth of the popula-

portion of these many millions
live outside of Russia, and the
village system and customs are

pie. It was supposed and largely is sup
posed to-day to be filled with peasants
who are plotting against their Govern
ment and who are dissati6ed with their
condition. 1t is known as the land of
nihilism, and it is thought by many that
the peasants are among the nihilista. This
is a mistake. Such nihilistic elements
as exist do not belong to the peasantry
at all, and the nihilists, the officials and
the nobility form but a drop in the
bucket of this great Russian population.
The town and the city people number
but few millions, and The great bulk
of the people live in little villages.
These villages constitute the real Russia
and the Russia out of which is to come
the Russia of the future. Of the l20,-
100000 subjects of the Car, less than
2O,OO0,000 live in towns, and the towns
of Russia are numbered by hundreds.

ATTRACTIONS HISTORIC AND MODERN.
AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK.

Great attitudes furnish a gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled
to be exercised and, consequently become
larger and more efficient.
Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing
hemorrhage, as was the old opinion. This
fact has been well established by experience
and observation.
Prof. NJ. w. Harrington, chief Of the U. 8.
weather bureau, says:
Santa Fe lies in the dricst part of the
United States This region is extensive, but
changes in form from season to season.
Santa Fe is always in it, however.
THE WATERS OF SANTA FEE.
Dr. ]. F. Banter vice-president of the
American Health Resort association says
ut is worth travelling miles to drink of
such waters as flow through this deep cut in
the mountains and supply the city of Santa
Fe for domestic purposes and for irrigation
of the fruit farms. The water is absolutely
pure, cold and fresh from the melting
SHOWS above, or trickling from springs in
the mountain side. 1t is free from all lime,
alkali or other ingredients SO very injurious
to the consumptive patient. Such water is
great boon anywhere and at any time, but
here, where other features of sunshine and
pure air combine to produce an ideal
climate, it is of special value"

Called the Bet, but Got Left.

Some years ago an English engineer, now
prominent in the official management OF
one of our great railroads, was superin.
tending the construction of q new road in
Pennsylvania. After supper one evening
he strolled into the "settin room" of the
country tavern, where some twenty men
were seated around the stove, smoking and
chatting.
A regular down east Yankee was ex.
pounding the remarkable strength of the
arch, its use and application in mechanics
and illustrating his remarks by paving a
half bushel measure.
you amt no idee," said he, chow
strong the arch is, if We set it right--if ye
know how. Now there's the egg; nothin'=
got a prettier arch than the egg, and il
you set it right it's mighty strong. Why,
| kin set an egg on this floor in such shape
that ye can't break it with this half bushel
measure"
A general murmur of sueering disbelief
ran around the room, but the Yankee was
game,
Il said kin, and kin, and I'll bet the
drinks for the crowd on it,"
The engineer hated a Yankee, and though

arrogant and preposterous statement, &C
he quietly said:
II will take that bet"
An egg was brought in from the kitchen
and handed to the Yankee. He took ii
and stood it upon the floor in the corner OF
the room, where the measure couldn't
reach.
The engineer did not even attempt to fill
square corner with round measure, but
paid for the drinks and retired, sadder and
wiser,-Cassier's Magazine.
