DEGRADED RUSSIA.
Its Social Aspect and Moral Condition In
the Eighteenth Century.


the Eighteenth Century.
Peter the Great said of his country,
and said truly: 'Russia is rotten be-
fore she is ripe" To realize the true
meaning of these words and the full
ness of their implication, one must
study in detail the reigns of Eliza beth
and Catherine II. In Russia. during
the eighteenth century, were to be
found side by side the vices alike of
savagery and civilization. Add to the
lack of social instinct, of humanity in
the wider sense. and of moral respon-
sibiiity that is to be found in Zulu
kraa1, the worst corruptions that are
bred in courts like that of Louis XIV,
and one can form some faint notion of
the Russian capital under Elizabeth
and Catherine.
The country, as a whole, was orien-
tai in its want of civil organization,
but without the -idealism of the east.
The capital was a weller of blood and
lust, barbarism and sophistry, atheism
and superstition, drunkenness and
savage violence, Incidence and semi
insane activity. The moral condition
was reflected in the physical. Never
was there such a mixture of squalor
and magnificence as in the palaces of
the Empress Elizabeth. The rudest
and the most costly furniture were
fumbled together. Filth and splendor
were always alternating, and the vilest
food was eaten off plates of gold

SURNAMES IN IRELAND.

Celtic Patronymics Becoming Anglicized
Through Dropping the Me- and O..
Blue books are not invariably COM
piled in such a way as to blend the
utile with the dulce, but agreeable ex-
ceptions occasionally occur, and under
this category must be placed the report
prepared by Mr.. r. E. Matheson, the
assistant registrar-generalf for Ireland,
on ''Surnames in Ireland" in which a
series of lists illustrative of the numer-
ical strength of the principal surnames
is supplemented with n great deal of
interesting information as to their
derivation, ethnology and distribution.
There has been some talk of late
about the extensive Anglicizing of Irish
names, and hence it will rejoice the
hearts of all true patriots to learn that
Murphy, Kelly and Sullivan are still
by far the most prevalent patronymics,
the ubiquitous Smith-which leads the
van both in England and Scotland
only coming fifth in the test. 1t is
also reassuring to lerrn that the great
bulk of the most common names
in the country are undoubtedly
of Celtic origin, and that many of
them still retain the prefixes SO" and
Mac" though the reprehensible
fashion of dropping these honorable
emblems of nationality has even af-
fected the patriots" themselves, Mr..
Davitt. for example, being a scion of
the ancient Celtic family till recently
known as MacDavett.
The Anglo-Norman and English
names constitute the largest proper
ton of the residue; but a good many
surnames still in use are traceable to
Danish origin, while the Welsh immi-
grafton is represented by the common
occurrence of the name Walsh in every
county in Ireland.
One significant point may be men,
toned before we conclude our hastv
survey of a most instructive report
The number of persons resident in
Ireland at the time of the census, but
born elsewhere, has increased from
thirty-five thousand in 1S41 to up
wards of one hundred and twenty
thousand in 1891. although the total
population has decreased by almost
one-half. In these circumstances the
progressive Anglicizing of Irish names
need excite no surprise. = London

worms and transcribers who have
given us our written speech
i'll such perfection carried their
deep reverence for absolute cor
rectness in language beyond long
words and short words into the letters
themselves and their formation. Not
without profound lessons for careless
speakers, writer's and students is that
legend of the Talmudical times, re-
lating how the small letter ''yod" being
one day badly put upon the parchment
raised itself up and ''cried aloud to
God"
A word is really one of the most
wonderful things of mans creation,
and deserves to be respected, properly
understood and carefully employed
and pronounced. It may often hide
within its noble moving histories
though lightly used, just as the
clod which the plowman turns
may conceal a treasure. Take.
for instance, the term ''colophon,"
which printers apply to the close of
printed volume. Which of them asks
why it should mean ''the end" or re-
calls the fact that Colophon was that
one of the twelve Ionian confederate
cities which furnished cavalry to the
league, and these horsemen were so
good and valiant that they always fin
ished off a battle VIGOROUSLY, so that
''to come to Colophon" was to put the
last touch to business? It is greatly
to he desired that in the course of their
teaching public and private instructors
everywhere would give themselves more
pains to explain and elicit for their
students the inner history and force of

language which will not yield up to pa
tient and enlightened analysis some
illuminating record of how they came
upon the tongues of men. Some are
as ancient as the first sound that was
babbled by a child to its mother; some
have whole histories in them; some are
new, ugly and incorrect, and, like
scientist" authoritarian and ''elec-
trocution," vex the scholarly ear with
their base construction. Possibly the
new school of English literature at
Oxford may effect something to revive
and encourage the declining study of
words. 1t is only the ignorant and
the foolish who think that it matters
little how we deal in speech and script
with these coins of the mind.-LondoI

He DID NOT HAVE TO PAY.

One-Legged Pennsylvania Man who Has
Spent = Fortune In Tolls.
Speaking Of bridges.
One time there was q one-legged man
who lived in Kittanning, Pa, and who
had fairly comfortable situated mar
ried sister living across the river in
Williamsburg. He had lived along the
rivers of Pennsylvania all his life. and
had worked at the modest but honor
able occupation of shoemaker, but who
had in every instance had some tie on
the farther side of the river which drew
him over the bridge evenings and Sum
days and holidays.
OF course in Pennsylvania all the
bridges are toll bridges, and even
foot passengers are required to con-
tribute at least two cents every time
they cross.
This shoemaker had observed that a
large number of men in the humber
walks of life wore one leg instead of
two, as was the case in other states.
Indeed, he was quite consoled with his
loss by the reflection that peg-legged
men were quite the fashion.
One evening he started across the
bridge as usual, and when he came to
the toll-taker's lodge in the center he
stumped over the roadway, dropped his
little fee and went on.
Funny thing" he unused. 81 never
paid my toll yet but I had to walk
across the roadway to the toll-taker.
My path seems to be always on the
wrong side of the bridge. l should
think now and then a toll-taker's Office
should be on my side of the bridge"
But he went on, visited his sister
and started back. On the return trip
he met another peg-legged man going
over to Kittanning and the two walked
together. When they came up to the
lodge the shoemaker fshed up two
pennies and started across the dusty
roadway.
Where you going?" asked the other
peg-legged man. hating and looking
curiously at his companion.
''Going to pay toll"
s'Why, you don't have to-"
''What?'
'You don't have to. One-legged men
don't have to pay toll in Pennsylva-
mia. The law always exempts them.
It is only able-bodied men who pay
TOLL"
The shoemaker looked long and ear
nestly at the wise man; then concluded
he would try it. He walked past the
lodge, watched the keeper, saw grin
spread over that pig-iron face and then
burst out:
"And have been paying toll on this
bridge for the past four years, four
times a week! Jerusalem, what fool
I've been!''
YES" agreed his companion.
'sAnd what is worse" he resumed
mournfully, sis that I have always
been on the wrong walk and have had
| to cross over"
Eyes, you're in hard luck"
But that didn't console him. Nothing
did. He kicked himself all the way to
| Kittanning with his peg leg. He took
daily trips to his sisters home. He
found rooms in Williamsburg and board
in Acknowledgements the trip six times
a day. He went over and back when
| ever he had time. just to even things
up. But he never could. to the day of
| his death, get back the money he had
needlessly played against Pennsylva-
MIA toll bridge.
There's hard luck for you.-Chicago

Curing Sick Headache.

If you ever have sick headache. and
want it cured quickly and effectively,
with none of the facilitating effects of
anti-pyrine or kindred druas, just take
a tablespoonful of red pepper, mix it
with vinegar to a thick paste and
spread upon cloth, cotton or linen,
bind upon the forehead with hand
kerchief, from temple to temple, then
take about two grains of the red pepper
in a teaspoonful Of vinegar and swallow
it. The mixture on the forehead will
burn, but will not blister, and in the
course of ten minutes the headache will
disappear under the stimulating effects
of this remedy, leaving the patient
feeling as if such distressing things as
sick headaches were unknown to the
human family-N. Y. World.
