In Mr.. Herbert Barry,s account o.

during his residence there, he remarks
upon the simplicity of the peasant

One such village he used to visit on

Starosta, very old man, whose wife
was still active and lively at 20 years
OF age. She used to interest herself
vastly in the conversation that passed
between me and her husband
This man, forester, was remark
able character. BY intelligent indus
try and perseverance he had raised
himself from the station Of CON-
mon serf to the management of
woods greater in extent than many a
German princlpallty.
He had given his son liberal edu-
cation, and was himself man of in
curing disposition, anxious to get in
formation on all sorts of subjects
Our long discussions of things in gen.
eral, and the worlds recent history in
particular, were highly amusing, If a
little perplexing, to the old lady who
sat and listened to them.
One morning | was sitting before
the stove, talking with the forester
about the British Constitution, and
happened to mention our gracious
Queen. At that moment the old lady
broke into the conversation.
"You will excuse me-" she said,
that l do not speak English. hear
you always talking about your Queen
Victoria; now, / want to know what
does she do for our Emperor, because
of course she lives at Petersburg"

lives in her own country-my country

What part of Russia is England9"
asked the old lady.
England is not in Russia at all. II

TURTLE SOUP.

The turtle must be killed over night
and hung up to bleed. Iu the morning
carefully separate the shells, taking care
not to break the gail; put the eggs, fns
and flesh into the cold water, renovin Z
carefully the black skin from tie fins.
Put the turtle to boil in twice as much
water as you wish soup, to allow for
boiling away. Let it boil for two hours,
skimming it we'll; thea add six slices of
nice ham and quarter OF a pound OF
fresh butter, and let it boil three hours
more. About an hour before it is done
add one gill of rice, one gill of four
creaned with a heaping steaspoonful of
butter, one onion minced fine, two stalks
of celery chopped up, little bunch OF
thyme, half teaspoon each Of cloves
aud allspice. Cook for an hour MORE

Then there was silence for the
space OF two minutes, as the two men
drew near and passed the pretty
young woman. Then the young man
IN the box coat remarked:
You didn't speak to each other.

The question is often asked; Why do
cyclones, "whrlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl Of from
right to left' Astronomical spectators
have supposed that ali the planets once
existed as rings of thinly scattered
matter around the sun, aud that these
rings were annular segregations from a
vague, irreguIarly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses, thus
determining the direction in which the
rings revolvei, and all the rest from
this took the same course. "But, you
say, "why did the nebuta revolve at ALI"
IL gre Y from chaos, and chaos, pre-.
sumably. possessed au inherent motion

ACH e


! The fussy man may hide his pc
culiarities in measure when away
from home, but in his Cwn household
he is privileged to make himself and
others supremely uncomfortable, I'M
der the mistaken notion that he Is
setting things right" Marriage, 1t
has been said, very rarely mends
mans manners. 1t certainly gives
fussy men additional opportunities
for indulging in those irritating hab-
its which entitle them to prominent
place among Objectionable men. For
by prying into this, and poklng into
that, worrying about one thing and
pottering about another, they keep
every one about them in fever of
anxiety To his womenkind, the
fussy man is a perfect scourge. He
finds out II the wall paper has been
Clipped or soiled, and discerns the
smallest cobweb No unswept cor
ners escape his eye, and woe be to
them who dust his books and replace
them upside down. The ventilation
of the nursery, the appearance Of a
new scratch on the silver, or spot
upon the table cloth, all secure his at
Itention and give him scope for fldget
ting his wife and domestics to set
matters right. This kind of man
invariably concerns himself In the
most disagreeable fashion, too, about
the clothes his womenkind wear. He
objects to certain colors, worries them
about their boots and wraps, grumbles
at their extravaganza, and dictates
the manner in which they shall dress
their hair. He will not allow his
wife to use certain perfumes, to pur-
chase any save special kind OF win
dow curtains, or to introduce fashion
able fancies into the house. As a
travelling companion he is simply
maddening. When he is not goad-
ing his fellow-passengers to despera-
tlun by fussiness over che disposal
of his wife's handbag, umbrella,
wraps, position with regard to the
engine, and his anxiety as to bag
gage, he fldgets them nearly to
death in a hundred other ways, so
that it is relief when the journey
is over, and he has rushed fuss
lily from the car to secure car
riage which meets with his approba-
ton. Fussy men always know some
thing about everything, and can
invariably advise you on the manage
ment OF infants or the choice Of
house. They are Away amateur
carpenters about routine. One might
almost say, "by their wives ye shall
know them, for upon their faces you
see the traces of perpetual fussiness.
There is a careworn, anxious express
ion that speaks Volumes" and they
only know how truly Objectionable the
fussy man can be, how completely he
can and does enslave those who are
of his household by that perpetual
worrying over trifies and undesirable
interest in matters with which he
should not allow his masculine mind
10 concern itself.
