Queer religions seots.

NJ Tsakni, a Russian writer, has pub,
lished an interesting work entitled, Queer
Religious Sects of Russia, " from which it
appears that there are not less than 15,000,-
600 followers of insane and cranky notions
in the empire of the car. These commune
ties Of deyout and deluded beings are con
stantly being enlarged, in spite Of all eff
forts made to the contrary by the govern
ment.
One Of these sects is known as the Run
ways" As soon as they embrace the new

sntity as mbch as possible,
oo,,ntsrofth live as R.savages. ''The
istsu are another curious sect They
worship each other The chief ceremonies
are q crazy species of dancing, yelling as
loudly as possible aud pounding stones
with sticks.
The "Skoptsysn believe in self mutila-
tion. but viii not submit to amputation,
even though it would save life. Like the
"Cbrists," they dance and yell for hours
without intermission.
Still another Of these deluded sects is the
dumb Boys" Why they are called dumb
boys no one seems to know, but it is Gu
rious fact that the sect is composed of both
sexes, old men being in the majority It is
claimed that some Of these aged patriarchs
have not spoken in 80 years, although per
fectly able to do 50 did they so desire.
"The Suicides" are a sect led by NJ
SouckelifIe who breaches self destruction
as an absolute necessity to selystion. He
IS very eloquent, and It is said that he often
leaves a church with a dozen suicides re-
mains strewn about the or.-London Mil
