note The rapid inorease Of temperkncS
societies in Russia. A few years ago
the idea of temperance reform, from
the point of view OF the total abstain
er, would have had oceans Of ridicule
poured on it in the press and in socie-
ty. Not SO now. The friends of tenn
perance are active. and many of them
influential. There is hardly consid-
cradle town now in the empire with
out ntits~temperance society; and in hun.
drcds Of villages as we'll the good cause
is making "a pid sway. ,These>societies,

the very existence of these societies
and the uniform success that has at

remnant who have not bowed the knee

Another pleasing sign of the times is
the establishment of societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals I'M

quite common. for moujilz. to fog his
stubborn horse until he falls, and
myself have. seen a bullock driver II: a
rage gouge his beasts eye out while a
crowd of callous spectators watched
the proceedings without a protest.
t There are now active little societies in
all large towns to prevent this sort OF

a shrill whistle to call the attention OF

I
TIT Is Cheerful.
What cmntry of contrasts this is,
The ednca ional authorities in the large
townsshave Ytrict orders to curtail as
much as possible the number
Of children of parents in a humble
rank of life who seek to enter the high
schools. 1t is not poverty that is to
exclude boy or girl from the benefits
of first-class education. If an officers
son applies to be admitted, although
his parents haze harel .ths+ s+neeessaeies,
OF life, he is accepted; but the son of
the rich h house porter or :washerwoman n
is excluded. On the other. hand, we
have the minister of education. strain,
means at his disposal to improve the
condition of the village schools. Some
OF those have become model establish
ments, far ahead of similar schools
IN countries with greater preten-
sions. It is now fast becoming the
rule to supply every new village
school, with piece Of land, where the
pupils will learn the rudiments of ag-
riculture and horticulture. A friend
OF mine recently returned from visit
| to the Province of Poltava. speaks Of
the wonderful effects of these schools
I'm that region, where they have been
Eslong established. Cottagers trained in
them carry their notions into. their ma
ture manhood, and the villagers can
now be numbered by the. hundred
where the. cultivation of fruit, flowers
and vegeta bles fourishes as the result

in the model village schools. May it
continue! Russia still remains the
most cheerless Of countries; her vii
lagos are still sad and squalid clusters
of huts without gayety or color or
brightness. When the Russians take
| to flowers and fruits, to beautifying
their cottages and tidying their farm
steads, they will be well on the road
to freedom. Very paradoxical, per-
