Learning did not count for much In
Russia in the time of Peter the Great
even a prince knew little beyond the
simplest rudiments OF education. Men
lived to be amused, and court testers
and dwarf3 were held in such high es-
TEEN that noblemen did not disdain to
hold the Office. AS for dwarfs, the
country was eally alive with them.
One old author says there was scarcely
nobleman In the land who did not
possess one or more Of these "frisks" of
nature. At almost all state dinners, il
these pygmies were fortunate enough
to escape being served in pie it was
their duty to stand behind their lord 8
chair holding his snu f-box or awaiting
his command. They were usually
gayly dressed in a uniform or livery OF
very costly materials. In 1709 Prince
Menshikof sent to his wife in Russia
two dwarfs whom he had made prison
ers of war In Poland. Accompanying
the gift were the following lines: 81
send you present of two girls, one of
whom is very small and can serve as a
parrot. She is more talkative than is
usual among such little people and can
make you much gayer than If she was
a real parrot" One Of these dwarfs
lived TO be nearly hundred years old.
She had a babyish voice, and except
when looking into her face, one would
think her to be a child five or six
years old.

him in his quest. He at once led him
to a dungeon whore there was a Jug OF
water and piece of brea suspended
by a string from the ceiling, and coolly

and cries OF rage were in vain. In the
nature of things, he was presently

food he had, and, alter numerous
jumps and as many tumbles, he sue
Gee led at length in gaining possession
