IT'S A BIG JOKE.
Easter kissing in Russia Leads to Very
Awkward Occurrences.


Easter kissing in Russia Leads to Very
Awkward Occurrences.
An Englishman who has resided in
Russia as the director OF some iron
works tells woeful story of his suf-
ferings at Easter, when the people
welcome the feast with the old Chris
tian custom of kissing each other.
For week beforehand" he says,
they are busy boiling and painting
eggs, which they are TO present to one
another with a kiss. The moment the
clock strikes twelve, the privilege or
penance, as the case may be, COM
mences. Nobody then considers him
self insulted by the combined offer of a
kiss and an egg.
I'm few cases, it may be confessed,
the trouble is pleasure; but when 1t
comes, as it did with me, to long
line of several hundred workmen-
mostly engaged in charcoal burning, in
the stock and poking of fires and
chimneys, aud other deeds of darkness
the po ,tical and sentimental view of
the religious custom is completely shut
out, and supplanted by the intolerable
annoyance.
Zone may talk of the Balaklava
charge, the storming of the Redan, and
such exploits; think of the nerve that
was required to stand my ground be-
fore bearded and vodka-loving Mujik,
with cinders in his beard, and charcoal
dust in the pores of his skin, man
who had been breaking calcined ore,
perhaps, all night, and looked like the
doubtful progeny of an African negro
or IA red Indian in his war paint.
"Think of my horror of suspense
while one after another a whole regi-
ment of such smutty objects shuffied
up to my place, each drawing a dusty
sleeve across his sooty mouth, each
diving to the bottom of his pocket 10
the painted egg, each taking off his
hat and, calling me down to the pun
ishment with the politest of bows, the
most respectful of grins; and when the
first hundred had kissed me three hun
dred times in the aggregate, to know
that another hundred had TO come
after them!
Here were courage and endurance
worthy of better cause. But should
have done wrong to avoid the courtesy;
and very likely should have deeply
offended the people, to whom it was
often the expression of long cher
ished feeling of gratitude for favors
which perhaps knew nothing of, or
had long ago forgotten"

"Good by" ne answered ",ut first
should like"
"Well?"
MAY have the lily and begin the
new story?"
She looked into his eyes a momrnsj
;hen hastily thrust the lily into his odt-
stretched hand and tripped up the
steps. Within the doorway, she turned
and kissed her ham to him.
In the evening, when church bells
again were ringing and the hum of
people walking came up from the
street below, he stood before t e mir
ror and contemplated n long dead lily,
u mere mummy Of lily in the Grecian
vase beside it, Presently he took the
shriveled flower from the vase and
placed it in the furthest corner of n
dressing case drawer. And thus an
old love was changed into a memory,
and he uttered a sigh.
But moment later he bumped n
tune as he put in the vase, in place of
the I'd dead flower, an Easter lily that
was still white and fresh.

WESTERN artists who have Geen re-
jected from the doors of the world 5
fair can find abundant comfort in the
history of art in older countries. Re-
lection from the established exhibit
tions of France and England has often
been the first sure signs of ultimate
celebrity and sometimes OF fortune.
Instead of wasting moments of de-
preston in vain repinings, let the re-
jected read the lives of the preraphae-
lites, the annals of the Barbizon
school and the first struggle OF the
impressionists The stones which
the builders rejected have often be-
come foundations of new and splendid
temples

EASTER KISS $ IN RUSSIA.
On That Day Even Peasant May sa
lutte a Princess with His Lips.

On That Day Even n Peasant May Sa-
lutte n Princess with His Lips.
There are records of very many curl
Gus Easter customs. In Russia, every
female, even Princess, must submit
TO be kissed by the lowest boor who
presents her with an egg; but in some
parts of England still more curious,
and, if possible, more senseless custom
prevailed.
A chair, gayly decked with ribbons
and artificial flowers, is placed in front
of some inn or house of public resort,
upon the seat of which is a raw egg.
TAe chair is attended by number of
gayly-dressed damsels, who seize upon
any man passing, and, despite his
kicking and struggles, seat him with a
good hard bounce upon the egg. He
is then grasped by dozen strong
hands and lifted bodily, chair and all,
in the air, above the heads of the as
sembled bystanders, lowered, and
raised again. This is repeated three
times. Instead of being allowed to de-
part, however, he is embraced, per-
force and kissed by every one of the
attendant graces.

NO cRowpIno in TEXAS.
Some Staggering Figu->s degrading tao
Lone star state.


Lone star state.
A recently printed statement that
the Western states OF America are
becoming crowded is disproved by
figures that. through various manip-
nations. tell most wonderful story
of the length and breadth OF the mag
nlficcnt empire lying west OF the
Mississippi river. OF the vast area
of the larger Western states, people
who have not visited them and trav-
eled over them have no comprehen-
sive idea. Texas, the largest OF the
United States, has an area of 262,29O'
square miles. To the casual reader.
saws Kate Fields Washington these
figures mean but very little; they
show, however, chat the lone star
state is more than fifty-four times as
large as the state of Connecticut. IL
it were possible TO run railway
train from Connecticut to Texas and
back in a day, and if the train could
take the entire population of the nut
meg state, as given by the last CEN
sus, at every trip, and, upon its rc-
turn, there should be as many per-
sons in the state as there were before
the train left with its cargo, and il
each one of these people were placed
upon an acre of ground upon his ar
rival in Texas, the train would be
obliged to make 224 trips. or so de-
populate Connecticut 224 times, be-
fore accomplishing its mission, and
then there would remain in Texas
703,3 empty acres. 1t may be of
passing interest to know that such a
train, made up of coaches twenty feet
long, capable Of accommodating fifty
passengers each, would extend overa
distance OF more than fifty-six miles.
If the entire state of Texas were
planted with corn and the hills were
two feet apart and the rows were
three feet apart, and if every man,
woman and child in the state Of Con-
necticut were set to work in the field
to hoe the corn, and each person
were able to and did hoe two hills in
five minutes, it would take the army
of laborers seven years 25) days and
seven hours to hoe every hill Of corn
in the stale, labOring continuously
/ day and night 800 days each year.
TO those persons who have never
stopped to consider how great
country they are living IN these fig
ures may be of interest. The man
who fears that he could not elbow his
way around in the Crowded West
without chatting the nap of his coat
sleeves may gather some solace from
! the statement that the entire living
- l.. 4. - n A. IA
souls, divided into families Of five
persons each, could be located in
Texas, each family with house on a
haf-acre lot. and there would still
enain $1,000, 90 vacant family lots.

The Origin = Easter Eggs.

Germany is the home of the Easter
egg Other lands, of course, have
them, but nowhere are they SO beauti-
full or so freely bestowed, or used in so
many lively games. On Easter morn
ing in Germany there is always great
excitement over the colored eggs and
sugar eggs, and printed eggs and eggs
with presents inside found in the nests
the children had prepared, and every
little one you meet will be saying:
oh, just see what the dear little
Easter Hare has brought mel"
One seems TO be quite sure where
this idea started. Some say it came
from the old DAYS of heathen-worship.

FIFTY THOUSAND RAGPrcKERs
The Army OF People Who Explore the
Rubhish on Plris stree 5.


Rubbish on Paris stree 5.
The wealth of Paris is so boundless
that the rubbish and refuse of the
city is worth millions, says writ
er in Harper's Magazine There
are more than 80, - persons who
earn a living by picking up what
others throw away. Twenty thou
sand women and children exist by
sitting and sorting the gatherings of
the pickers, who collect every day of
the year about 1920 tons of mer-
chandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 20. 900
francs. AT night you see men with
baskets strapped on their backs, a
lantern in one hand and in the other
stick with an iron hook on the end.
They walk along rapidly, their eyes
fixed on the ground. over which tho
lantern filings a sheet of light, and
whatever they find in the way OF
paper, rags, bones, grease, metal,
etc, they stow away in their baskets.
In the morning, in front of each
house, you see men, women and chill
dren sitting the dust-bins before they
are emptied into the scavengers'
carts. At various hours of the day
you may remark isolated ragpickers,
who seem TO work with less method
than the others and with more in
dependent air. The night pickers
are generally novices; men who, hav-
ing been thrown out of work, are
obliged to hunt for their living like
wild beasts. The morning pickers
are experienced and regular workers,
who pay for the privilege of sitting
the dust-bins of certain number Of
houses and of trading with the re-
suits. The rest, the majority, are tho
coureurs, the runners, who exercise
their profession freely and without
control, working when they please
and lcafng when they please. They
are the philosophers and adventurers
of the profession, aud their chief OBJ
ject is to enjoy life and mediate upon
its problems.

made popular and which the soldiers
Of the civil war made inevitable, are

A curious custom in England was
that of taking the shoebuckles of
women on Easter Monday by the men,
and the taking of those OF the men by
the women on Easter Sunday. These
were retained till the following

English customs the rolling of young

its back TO the church, joining hands
till the circle was complete, when all
would rush away TO grid about an
other church.

nc will be able hereafter to charge
his guests b. the minute.
