My first evening, or night in fact, in
Ponta Delgado--as well as many there
after-was spent in the society of the

tiringly attentive Of tho inhabitants Of
the Azores, the very merriest, happiest
Of creatures, who enjoys life with a zest
that is seldom equaled, who halls with
delight each newcomer to the isles, and
welcomes them with the most flattering
warmth. We had q lively time together.

The CHANGED Rubies.

There seems no end to the curious
stories about jewels lost and stolen. One
Of the latest is that Of Mrs. A, who re-
Gently took Il pair Of large ruby solitaires
to be reset at IS, where they had
been purchased. The morning after the
maid brought her the card of the firm,
saying Il gentleman wished to see her,
and on going down to the drawing room
she found one Of the clerks, who told
her that the stones. which were appar-
emily Of great value, were in reality
false and worthless. Very much agitated
over the intelligence, Mrs. A. asserted
that the jewels had never left her pos
session since their purchase, and claim
ed that the fraud must have been per-
petrated before she received them. This
Of course the firm denied, but the feel
ing on the subject became very bitter on
both sides, and detectives were employ
ed by both to ferret ont the mystery.
When former butler of Mrs. A. was
proved to DO discharged clerk of the
we'll known. jewellers, the inference was
obvious, although no proof against the
man has been found, and the jewels have
never been recovered. Gazette.

The best existing maps Of the moons
surface show 13a,S Of these crater
like holes and over 100, 900 mountain
peaks. or projections, which compare
favorably with what we know to be
mountain peaks. Not longer since than
last summer the astronomers gave it as
their opinion that these craterlike holes
and mountain peaks had been caused by
q prodigious shower of aerolites, or
meteorites. That theory has been re-
Gently knocked out by noted European
astronomer, NJ. Verde. who gives it as
his opinion that the moon was originally
a vast aggregation Of miniature planets
which have amalgamated, or coalesced,
into one. According to his theory, the
openings and projections are the inter-
stices which were left when the separate
fragments came together to form the
ball which all now recognize as the
Queen Of Night. He says that in all
probability there are several holes which

An Odd Custom.

The Oldest temperance society il the
world is the abstaining commune in
Achlyka, in Siberia, all CT whose mem.
bers are strict teetotalers every day in
the year except one. Regularly on the
first day Of September, year after year,
all the adlUt members of the commune
assemble il the parish church, and ev-
cry one takes n solemn vow before the
altar to drink no Wine. beer or spirits
from the morrow" of the following
day for the whole year. The clause
from the morrow" is introduced in Or
der to give them 4 reward for their vir-
tues i'll the shape of whole day Of
drunken carnival. As soon rs they leave
the church they begiL 70 indulge in a
horrible bacchanalian drinking, which
continues throughout the day, until nei-
ther man nor woman in the village is
sober. This is naturally followed by
considerable physical suffering. and
then by mental rcmorse. whereupon the
penitent parish enters upon its twelve
month of model sobriety, and all live
like the Rechabites. Some students
imagine that this queer proceeding may
be prehistoric tribal custom.

Turkish and Russian Soldicrs.

The Turkish army is perhaps the only
one in the world which has invariably
behaved better i'll the field than the
peace conditions of both nation and
army led critics to anticipate. The Rus
sian army, SO far as the war Of 1S71S is
concerned, belongs undoubtedly to the
category Of armies which have not full
filled expectations.
The average Turkish soldier is phys
ically, morally and intellectually supe-
rior to the average Russian soldier, for
three reasons-first, because be is total
abstainer; secondly, because e.e is re-
ligious-that is, intellectually religious,
whereas the Russian is ignorantly re-
ligious, i. e., superstitious; thirdly, be-
cause elementary education is better in
Turkey than i'll Russia These plain
facts should be borne in mind when the

il DISPATCH from Boston says that
the army Of Knights Templar that
will invade the Hub next week is be.
coming serious one. 1t is true
Boston experienced little difficulty
in providing for the tens of thou
sands Of Christian Endeavorers who
participated in the international con-
vention last month. but the great
ma jority of these were satisfied with
the accommodations provided in
boarding houses and private homes,
both in the city and on the outskirts.
For the Knights, however, different
arrangements must i've made. There
are - grand communicates. and each
one Of the number desires to keep
open house in the central portion Of
the city throughout the conclave.
Just how to make provision so that
every commandery shall be satisfied
is problem that has not yet been
entirely solved. The hotels have
had three times AS many applica-
lions as can be filled. all the central
halls have been pre-empted, and still
provision for number of "open
houses" has yet to be made. The
difficulty is one of space and not OF
money. for the Boston Temp!ars
have made up fund of sl5O.OOo for
the entertainment of their guests.
According to the latest advices the
conclave will attract not less than
$4,000 fraters and members of theil
families.
