Shoes and other articles besides has
kets and cabinets r manufactured from
birch bark by the Russian peasantry.
The bark from which these articles are
made is from the inner skin of the Rms
sian birch tree, common in almost all
parts Of the empire. It is gathered
spring and fall, and the process is q very
simple one. An incision is first made
around the trunk Of the tree, and the
peasants have q knack of tearing or I'M
winding the bark from the starting
point, which gives them q strip Of even
width that they wind into a ball and
keep through the winter until it is dry
enough to use. 1t is then made into
shoes, baskets and other useful articles.
The barks shoes are universally worn
by the Russian peasantry. Other shoes
used in winter are made Of Sleeps wool.
These are manufactured by itinerant
cobblers who travel from house to house,
using the peasants own materials

o week and will include tho meeting of
the thirteenth international conference
of the association, with public thanks
giving services in St. Paul's cathedral
on jubilee day and q public reception at
Royal Albert hall, Kensington.
George Williams, the founder OF the
organization, now nearly 73 years old,
will attend these exercises and tell how
he came to start the Y. M. G. IA. Dele
gates viii be present from every one of
the United States and from III other
countries, and there will be almost as
many languages spoken as there are
countries represented. The corporation
of the city Of London has appropriated
60, 600 for the entertainment OF the del
egates, so that something Of q civic as
pect will be added to the religious char
acter of the celebration.
The first Y. nj. G. A. was organized
June 8, 1874, at q meeting of the 80
clerks of the big London dry goods
house of Hitchcock q Co, and its stated
object was ''to improve the spiritual
condition Of young men engaged in the
drapery and other trades" Now there
are 20 branches in London alone and
S43 in the United Kingdom, while in
the world at large there are 8, 1853
branches, with q membership close to
600, 900 souls.
The first American branch was organ
lied in Boston Dec. 80, 1851, and with
in two years there were branches in 80
other American cities. The convention
Of the American branches i'm Buffalo in
June, 1854, was really the first confer
n @ in the history of the association,
and the first international conference,
which me in Paris in August, 1856,
was also called under Americans auspices.
IL is o notable coincidence that the
Salvation Army was also started in
London in June, 1874, and that organ
i~zation, too, will have a big anniversary
celebration in London next month.

OF late years the postage stamp
has been invested with a language of
it's own. When a stamp is inverted
on the right hand upper corner, it
means the person written to 10 to
write no more. IL the stamp be
placed on the left hand upper corner
inverted, then the writer declares his
affection for the receiver of the let
Ter. When the stamp is in the CEN
ter at the top. it signifies an afirma-
tive answer to a question or the q
tons, as the case may be, and when
it is at lie bottom it Is a negative.
Should the stamp be IN the right
hand corner at right angle, it asks
the question il the receiver of the
letter loves the sender, while in the
left. hand corner means that the
writer hates the other.
There is a shade of difference be
tween desiring ones acquaintance
and friendship. For example, the
stamp ut the upper corner at tLa
right expresses the former and on the
lower left hand corner means the lat.
ter. The stamp on q line with the
surname is an offer of love; In the
same place, only reversed, signifies
that the writer ID engaged To say
farewell the stamp II 2laoed straight
mp and down in the LETT corner.

attention to his trait of thinking and
acting for himself. Although a Con-
sentative, he fought against his leader,
Sir George e. Cartier, and the powerful
corporation Of the Sulpicians ON the
