Hats off, has become the rule IN another

New York letter Of the Church Standard :

and repairs made during the summer
The Hebrew OF this city says that the
fading away OF Jewish customs makes it
even more than necessary that some record
of their features should be made. Novels
and sketches have done much in this direc-
tion, but something more comprehensive is
wanted, and collection of the folklore
would be especially interesting.

The mans clothes and belongings, besides
the vessels name, served ultimately TO ideu-

ship that had sailed frCm Carthagena three
months previous to the discovery of the

Blood Will Tell,

1t will be remembered that an explosion
took place under the portico of the Palazzo
Massimo. in Rome. on April 80. In refer
ence 10 this the Messagero has published
the following letter from Prince Massimo:

journal that the explosion which took place
under the portco of my palace terrified my
family. beg 10 inform you that those who
have in their veins the blood of the Fabii

A few days ago, out by Mr.. Nelms' place,
like notoriety heard guinea hen making
terrible fuss. and she proceeded to investi-
gate. She found big rattlesnske coiled up
near the fowl. Eve herself could not kill
snake and the good woman called for help.
Help came anu the snake WAS killed. The
moment this was done the guinea dropped
dead. 1t certainly was not struck the
snake. It didn't get sick and 1t didn't swell
up. The explanation is that the fowl was
charmed. ANYHOW. it died as soon as the
snake was killed and 1t certainly wasn't
poisoned by the snake.

but religious doctrines and are not even
taught English, for in their anxiety to pre-
serve their language and their faith these
people declined the Government school

and an additional per capita tax for each

and quite a curiosity in its way. Here is

their caps and their hair flows back
from their high foreheads, making you
think of the patriarchs OF old, and dur
ing many Of the services they appear in
gowns OF silver and gold and wear great
tara-like hats which sparkle with gold and
jewels. The Russian Greek churches are
fa- more gorgeous in their appointments
than any other in the world, and there is
enough gnldieaf plRstered over the churches
OF this country TO pay the Russian national
debt and to relieve the starving people of
the famine districts. From all parts Of ST.

Russian cathedrals, and their gOldsplated

golden spires pierce the sky every where you
