POWER
OVERWHELMING PRIDE OF RUSSIA'S
NOBLE FAMILIES
Where Access to the Circles Of High Society Is
Very DifficuIt--Tolstois Graphic
Descriptions.

Russia possesses 600, 900 mobiles with
out counting $50, 900 whose titles are
not hereditary. Among the Russian no.
bility there are many Of foreign origin.
The Russian social code recognizes four
categories or estates (soslovia)-that is
to say, mobiles. priests, town jewellers
and peasants. The character of their
employment distinguishes these classes
from one another. Each is dependent
on the czar for all its privileges, and
the emperor has absolute power to
change tho condition of his subjects
from high to low estate. None Of
these classes possesses either historic
al, political or social individuality.
The Russian aristocraoy is deprived
Of political Importance, and it cannot
boast of such chivalrous qualities as dis
tinguished the French mobiles. For the
present it lacks sufficient good sense or
education to play any part in public
life Russian aristocrats all desire to be
considered as direct descendants of the
Boyars, merely because it is pleasant to
be such, and thus get o position of So
cial superiority. Their ambition goes no
higher. The Boyars, like the feudal
western landowners, are the descendants
of the men who Of old composed the
Russian princes army. The members
of the Russian aristocracy have in great
part retained their places at court, so
that there can be encountered most of
the old historic names Children of both
sexes inherit the titles of their parents.
The Russian aristocracy is distinguish
ed by overweening pride and haughti-
ness and at the same time there is Of
ten united to this, in bizarre contrast,
a certain snobbishness. Access to the
circles of high society is very difficult.
1t is only possible to penetrate into them
If we'll born and we'll connected. The
Russians rarely abandon their titles, be-
ing too proud of them to quit them cas-
lily. A marriage between poor gentle
man and rich stranger, or vice versa,
is considered in this country as shame
full mesalliance, and the couple would
not be received in the aristocratic salons
of the capital. Tolstoi as we'll as Prince
Maschersky, director Of the newspaper
Grajdanine, has given in his novel very
oAdC1 anu SrapniC ueSCrlptlOuS VI NUS
sian high life. But with all their innate
pride the Russian great folk have never
looked upon work as degrading. Thus.
if need be, they will adopt with ease
and without mauvaise homie any offices,
any public charges. There is at st. Pc
tersburg prince who serves in the GUS
tom house, and many mobiles and titled
men become professors, schoolmasters,
even actors. In a pastry cook shop at
Moscow somo princesscs of high blood
serve behind the counter. Others will
become governesses, companions, house
keepers, telegraph clerks-in fact, will
adopt any employment that may turn

Business Competition.

Billboard competition runs pretty
high nowadays in the metropolis. An
owner Of some down town property was
awakened by the loud ringing of his
doorbell recently in Harlem.
"What on earth is that?" he e1claim-
ed. us the house on fire."
Somebody's Dead" said his wife.
In the meantime servant was return
ing from answering the bell.
''Please, sir, there's two gents down
stairs as wishes to see you," said the
girl.
"See me? Why, it's o'clock in the
morning.
Important business, they says, sir. I"
"Well, I should think it would DO,
waking man up this time O. night.
I'll have to go down, suppose.
He quickly threw ON some clothing
and went below. Two gents" awaited
him in tho hall.
II beg your pardon, sir, for knocking
you up at this hour, but want to make
you proposition for billboards around
the corner of your place on Blank street
while you are rebuilding. Name your
figures, including two theater tickets
every night of the season.
"And, SIR" began tho other "gent, I"
"ny company would like to make you
proposition for the uso of the walls
that may remain standing after the
fire. ="
"Firel Fire! What are you talking
about?" The old man was completely
nonplused.
"Why, your place caught fire about
two hours age" said tho first "gent. "
And is Quilted by this time" added
the second gent.
"Of course you'll give me the refusal

IL the uorrn@rn pur5 or CANADA tnert
ere still several Indian tribes who ate
human flesh. In Guiana and in this
Orinoco we still find Caribbeans who
have the honor of having furnished thu
name for that terrible custom of eat
ing human flesh. Cannibal comes from

bis or Canibis, the name of the inhabit
ants of the Antilles when Columbus ar,
rived there. On the upper Amazon. be-
tween the rivers and the borders of tho
Bolivia, live the Tupis Guaraniens,
who manifest liking for human flesh.
Cannibals are common in Australasia,
the Papuans, Karnkiens and Battakiens
being the most distinguished. Canni-
balisin is, however, considered the main
trait of the New Hebrides. There arc
more human flesh eaters in Africa than
anywhere else.
Cannibalism is not sign of low
state of civilization, for many cannibal
races stand higher in culture than those
who abhor the custom. Many cannibals
live in regions full of ordinary food, but
they prefer human flesh as delicacy,
the men forbidding their wives and
slaves to eat it, In northern Australasia
it seems that tho dead are eaten. Herod
otus tells us that it was the custom il.

eat them to insure their future saliva

IN A HOPEFUL STRAIN.

The circular issued by the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. Saturday contains most interesting and encourage ing notes. It says:
 The general situation remains virtually unchanged. Both sides of the stock mar ket admit that so far as respects mate rial conditions, the outlook is good. It is conceded that the harvest outcome, taken as a whole, is likely to be at least a good average and that the money yield to the farmer promises to show an inn mense improvement on the past year. It is acknowledged that the commercial spirit is healthy and hopeful, and that the manufacturing interest is buoyed by the expectation of an increased consumption. The danger from an excess Of lmpofta- tions is certainly less than has been feared, and not likely to affect adversely the exports of gold except in the event of a smaller export of products than it now seems reasonable to expect. The national exports of last month showed an encouraging gain over those of year ago. and the increase was due less to a larger quantity than to higher prices for many of the more important articles. An advance of 12 cents in wheat of IF cents in cotton and an equal rise in petro- leum, compared with year ago, means millions of additional value in our chief articles of export for the current fiscal year, sufficient to more than offset any increase in our merchandise exports at present anticipated.

CAUSE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.

Pipe iron has advanced again. This time Cleveland has the benefit, and the great metal has gone forward $1 in three days. Sooner or later the advance will spread over all the iron districts. The weekly capacity of all the furnaces throughout the country was found to be 1S0,525 tons, according to the Iron Age. This estimate was made at the begin ming of the current month, and it is well talked of that the supply falls away be- low the demand Some idea of the profits that accrue may be gained by a cursory study of figures and prices given above, together with the constant and steady advance.
 Cheering advices come also from the money centers of the East The state ment sent out by the associated banks of New York is pronounced by leading financers to be most satisfactory, viewed from the standpoint of steady progress and recuperation from the evils lately brought about by the panic years. Lead ing financial authorities openly assert that the condition of the country is better now than it has been since the beginning of the business depression.
 Sterling exchange has weakened, and according as the profits are lighter the shipments of gold to Europe grow beau tifully less.
 The cotton outlook is also promising. There are indications that it will bring a reasonable profit, perhaps beyond ex- peetadons.

THE VIRTUE OF cANDoR.

The open letter of Governor OFerrall of Virginia on the financial question was an admirable affair."
 The feature which will most commend it to minded men is it's candor. Gov ernor O'Ferrall freely admits that he has been educated by the campaign of edu- cation. The man of small mental calibre would have hesitated, if not declined, to make such an admission. He would have pleaded consistency, which, as Car lyle says, is the virtue of fools
