IN MANY TONGUES.
Wonderful Collection in the st. Peters
burg Library.

The University of st. Petersburg has
the largest and best Oriental faculty IN
Europe; its professors lecture in Arabic,
Persian, Turkish, Tartar. Armenian,
Georgian, Monaghan, and many others.
Particular facilities are always given TO
students of Oriental languages TO pursue
their studies, and many of them have
been sent to China, Japan, Persia and
elsewhere at the expense OF the Russian
Government. For instance, Professor
Wassiljeff, the veteran Orientallst and
professor Of Chinese, was sent to CHINA.
These are some of the peaceful means by
which the Imperial Library has been
added to, but war and revolution have
also contributed their quota. General Su-
varof, with his motto. Forward and
strike" has been just as great bene-
factor In his way to this great institution
as the wealthy Cars aud merchant
princes. The sack OF Warsaw, in which
5000 Poles were slain, made him master
OF that town and master of the valuable
Zaluski Library.
But the benefit which the Russians
reaped from the French revolution Is.
perhaps, the most noteworthy OF all.
Count Dubrovski, bibliophiie, was al
tached to the Russian EN- basSy in Paris
when the great upheaval took place.
During this time museums and palaces
and collections and libraries burnt and
scattered to the winds: hundreds of
manuscripts and books were ruthlessly
DESTROYED Some, however, escaped the
hands of the destroyer, and were sold by
the Government of the day to small shop
keepers, from whom Dubrovski bought
them for q song. Thus Russia has be-
come the custodian OF unique treasures.
Among the letters which were thus ac-
onired are several written by Henry
VII, Henry Will, Richelieu and Cath
crime de Medicis.
The earliest printed book in Russia,
which is in keeping there, is hlstory.of
the Apostles, with the date 1864 ON its
title-pa Two liturgies, printed in
Poland and Galicia, bearing the dates
l475 and 1891, are also to be seen. 1t was
not till l73i that the first German book
was issued in St. Petersburg. As re-
CARDS the library building there is not
much TO be said; it is not very impos-
ing building. nor is it so well adapted to

thing. New York never yet has led in
anything. What better evidence of the
prosperity of our country could we show
the world than by putting up at the en-

Would you have a gold dome?''
Il hadn't thought Of that. I'll leave it
to the architects. The Western silver
mine owners have loaded the Treasury
with silver and they are turning their sill

as easy for the citizens of New York to
SET the use OF this silver for building as
Tor the western mine-owners to get the
Government tc buy their silver. If the
scheme materialiZeS and Congress is
| asked to ierd the use of the silver for such
a purpose the building will be taken down

Royal Attendants at Lourdes.

cleansing and bandaging up sores. She
helps for hours to carry patients into the
plunge-baih ana immerse them. Her
eldest son is bathing-man on the side
of the Grotto set apart for men. Her two
other sons help TO carry pilgrim patients
on stretchers from the railway to the

for reasons that had better not be mem

people could be enlightened. Then eHof1S
were made to unite the various ltallan SO

of the Irish and German residents. They
soon learned that no other country in the
world gives the immigrant such opportu-
mites as does the United States; that
there is complete security of life and
property for all without distinction of

country is preferable to all others, and
that Italians need no special pleaderS.
1t is claimed that the Italians OF New

About Amber,

AT the present day the supply of amber
Is chiefly obtain ed from the dreary and
deSolate region of Samland, on the east
ern Baltic, strange, weird land of blow
ing sand, shifting sand dunes and pow
erty-stricken amber hunters. Il Is cold
northern Sahara. The district produces
absolutely nothing but amber; vegeta-
ton it has none, and from Konigsberg, it's
Capital, to the end of the promontory
scarcely anything subsists that a man
could live upon. It's trade is all retro
spective and geological. 1t lives upon the
memory of Oligocene fertility. Most of
the amber is obtained after stormy
weather by men who wade in the water
with long hooks in their hands, and Sc
cure the Jumps, torn from the submarine
bed, among the floating seaweed. But a
considerable portion Is also got by div
ing. For the beds are almost ali below
sea level, ana it is only after heavy
storms that the precious resin is dis
lodged Ill any quantities. No wonder it
seemed TO earlier ages gift from the
gods, very mystic aud magical. Konigs-
berg and Memel are the centers of the ex-
port traffic.
The biggest Jumps go direct to Con-
stantinople, Mecca and North Africa,
partly to be used up in Mohammedan
ceremonies. and partly to be carved into
cigarette holders, pipe stems, and per-
sonal ornaments. The smaller pieces are
sent to Italy, whore they are manufact-
ured into beads and other gewgaws for
the annoyance OF tourists; while much ia
exported to uucivilized countries for the
further adornment of those dusky ladies
SO dear to the hearts of our Stevensons
and our Haggards. The Jumps vary i'm
mensely in size; there is one in the Ber-
lin Museum which weighs fifteen pounds.
AT first sight the ingenious observer is
apt to think no pine trees of our days
produce such masses of rosin. But then
he should remember he is comparing a
few hundred years of our cleared and
| stunied Europe with heaven knows how
many ages of unbroken forest, and
heaven knows what big groves of gigan-
tic pine trees.-Cornhill.

The Passing OF the Apron.


Although so much has been written
about the advent of the boomers as part
OF the new woman's dress, nothing has
been said of the passing of the apron.
Fifteen years ago the apron was an
esteemed adjunct to The costume OF every
woman, no matter what station OF life
she might occupy. The fashion books
supplied varying styles for the changing
seasons and different occasions. There
were bibless models and models with
bibs. Pockets and strings marked evo-
lutions in modes. Once the woman with
unique apron pattern achieved
temporary fame that was greater than
that enjoyed by the wearer OF the most
outre bicycle suit OF the present.
Nothing SO distinctly marks the change
in the feminine character as this
almost complete disappearance of the
apron among the women who are
to-day challenging attention. Once every
housewife was proud of her Kitchen APP
rons of pretty gingham, her sewing
aprons OF Sheerest lawn or linen. her
fancy work aprons of dainty SILK ana lace.
The apron Was the badge OF the house,
keeper. The memories of it's numerous
vacations bring back sort of heartsick
feeling 10 the man who remembers the
biscuits his mother used to make and the
mttens MS grandmother was accus-
toned to knit long ago. The new woman
has no time TO wear an apron.
She has relegated il 10 the past, when
her sex was in the thraldom OF home.
1t belongs to the person who holds the
position of nurse, cook or seainstress. It
does not fit we'll with Tho boomers.
There is no place on The mannish waist
coat Tor the bib that was once so highly
esteemed. -Philad elphia Times.
