reading, travel and mental and phys
ical development could do SO. Since
the hour of his birth the fact that he is
some day to be the ear has never been
forgotten by either his imperial par
entS or those intruSted with his educa-
ton. He has proved himself, it is said,
to be powerful and brilliant intellec-
tually, and he learned with ease the
severe tasks prescribed fer him by his
tutors. lie is said to be proficient in
literature, history. languages and mill
tary science and art. lie is said to be
a handsome young man, with large
lusterful eyes, clear cOlorless skin,
both of which he inherited from his
Danish mother; black hair worn short
and a mustachc as fiercely military as
nature will allow He lacks, however,
the powerful physique and command
ing stature of the ROmanOtfs and, while
he is graceful in action and bears him
self with dignity, he has not the
distinguished presence that marks
his father. He has travelled eX-
tensively in Europe, and was received
by royalty at Berlin, Copenhagen and
other capitals. He is said to be tact
full, gracious and gentle, rather than
blunt and aggressive, as some of his
ancestors were. He is held in high es-
TEEN by all who know him, and it is
predicted that when he assumes the
purple an era of political reform will
begin in Russia. He is said to be friend
ly toward Germany and Austria rather
than toward France, with which coun-
try the present car has been allied.
Grand Duke Nicholas is betrOthed to
Princess AliX, of Darmstadt, who will
join the orthodox Greek church, of
which the car is the head. Gossip has
coupled the name of the cZarOwitZ with
that of an opera dancer who is said to
be causing some trouble because of his
approaching marriage to Princess
Alix. The health of the grand duke
was for long time delicate, and it was
often predicted that he would not live
To v'oar the crown. Recently his health
has improved and he is said to be now
in good physica' condition. He has
two brothers and two sisters, SO that
the line direct from the Ror2nnoffs
will continue on the Russian throne
for some time, in spite of the niH:liSts
and the maladies which seem to be
part of the royal family's heredita-
ments.

HUMAN SACRIFICES IN RUSSIA.
Vain Attempts to Abolish the Practice
Revelations of a Newspapers.

Vain Attempts to Abolish the Practice
Revelations of a Newspaper.
1t is probably known to few people
that the practice of sacrificing human
lives under certain conditions still ex-
lists in parts of the empire of Russia.
The government and the orthodox
church have attempted in vain to stop
the inhuman practice, but up to the
present time they have been unsuc-
cessful. Revelations regarding the GUS
tom were made in recent issues of the
Gazette of Yakootsk, Siberia. 1t pre-
walls among a sect known as "Tshuk-
shen," not far from that city. Old peo-
pie, beyond the Biblical limit as to age,
and sick ones, tired of life, offer them
selves as the sacrifices. When "Tshuk-
she" decides to offer himself up," he
sends word to all his relatives, friends
and neighbors, who then visit him and
try to persuade him to change his in
tentiOns.
But prayers, upbraidings, threats,
are useless in such case, and the IA
and relatives leave his house and re-
turn in ten to fifteen days, bringing
the death candidate white clothing and
several weapons, with which he is sup
posed to defend himself in the other
world against evil spirits and shoot
reindeer.
After completing his death toilet the
10 -, +,1 hig ,,lDpa n n of
his house or hut. About him gather
his relatives. who offer him the choice
of three instruments of death, a knife,
a spear and a rope. If he chooses the
knife. two friends hold his arm while a
third plunges the blade into his breast.
Practically the same thing is done if
he decide to die by the spear. When he
prefers the rope. two of those present
place it about his neck and strangle
him to death. A cut is then made in
the breast to let the blood flow out All
those present sprinkle their faces and
hands with the blood, believing that it
will preserve them from evil and bring
them fortune.
The body, after this ceremony, is
placed on sled, which is drawn by a
reindeer, to the cremation hill, near
the village. The neck of the animal is
cut at once upon arrival at the place.
The body is stripped of clothing, which
is then cut in small pieces and placed
on the altar with the dead man or wo-
man. During the cremation the mourn
ers" utter prayers to the spirits, beg
cling them to watch over those mortals
still left on earth. This custom has been
followed by the sect for centuries.-N.

Russian Horn Music.

From authentic records concerning
the country of the Gar we find account
of an absorbing and pleasing enter
tainment. one demanding, doubtless,
more genius and earnest application
than absolute expense in money. 1t
surely offers opportunity of enjoyment
u the many, and is, as well, of re-
dring and elevating nature. The only
instruments are horns, and each pro-
duceS but one tone. The horns vary
like the pipes of an organ, One of
them sounds only every c, another
only every d, and so throughout the
tune Each player is so correctly
trained that whenever his instrument
must speak, it is given with the great
est accuracy, and the tones of the diff
ferent instruments sound as if from a
single one. The players, usually serfs,
receive very careful training, and the
works of Haydn, Mozart, and other dis
tinguished composers, are executed
with taste and skill. This pleasing
style of band entertainment was in
vented by Narisc hllin. Since his time
there has been great improvement in
the construction and capabilities of the
instrument and skilfullueSs of treat
ment. Nearly hundred and fifty wears
ago, at grand festival in Moscow.

Building and loan association au-
thorities are of opinion that the recent
panic will prove to them blessing in
disguise. The excellent record made
by them, they claim, will have the eff
feet of convincing thoughtful men of
the stability of the system and
of the immense advantages to
the communities in which it operates.
In consequence of this it will be posi-
BILE for building and loan associations
to achieve greater prosperity and at
tain more rapid growth in the next few
years than they would have been able
to do under ordinary circumstances in
thrice the same length of time. Judg-
ing, they claim, from the gener-
al conversation of men as heard
in the ordinary interchange Of
opinions among business acquaint-
ances on the streets of Chica-
go and in the clubs, the present condi-
ton of building and loan affairs is bet
ter than that of almost any other line.
Their prospects for the future are fully
as fiattering as those of any other
branch of trade or finance.

less than forty years, won the race
without much difficulty. Mr.. Atkinson
Bill Atkinson they call him in Geor-
gia-represents much that in the old
days would have been held in light es-
TEEN, says HarPer's Weekly. His ante
cedents are humble. and he earned as a
boy the money with which to pass
through the University of Georgia, and
afterwards to study law. He entered
politics as soon as he obtained his ma
jority, and, if some stories are to be
credited, he had political ambitions
long before he was old enough to vote.
When he was sixteen years old he drove
q load of cordwOOd to Newman, the
nearest town to his fathers farm. AS
he stood at the head of his team wait
ing for a customer. some lads who
knew him at school jeered at him, and,
with laughter, called out: Look at
Bill AtkinsOnr'
Never mind" Atkinson is said to
have replied; look at Bill Atkinson,
for some day Bill atkinson will be gov
ernor of Georgia"
Mr.. Atkinson has served several
terms in the state legislature, and has
also been speaker of the house. He
was chairman of the state democratic
committee during the last presidential
campaign. In the legislature Mr.. At
kinson's greatest prominence has been
gained by leading the opposition to the
effort to give to the state, and secure
state support for it, the home for con-
federate veterans. This institution
was built by private subscriptions, but
1t is now in ruins for lack of funds.
Though the republicans joined with
the populists, and there were dissen-
sions within the democratic party, At
kinson has won by very much reduced
majority.
