RUSSIAN ARMY ODDITIES.
Queer Features of the Military Service Of
the Gar,

Queer Features Of the Military Service Of
the Car.
The Russian army is full of strange
features. Thus the biggest fellows are de-
tailed for duty in the bodyguard regiment
rashenski-founded 10y Peter the
Great and originally composed of that
monarch's personal friends, all giants in
their way. khe cars family take great
pride in this regiment, and on the named
day Of its patron saint attend the festivi-
ties in body, usually ro-enforced by for
eign ambassadors and ministers. Then
there is the Ismailowski regiment, where
only bonds are tolerated. and the well
know pawlow guards, ell OF whom must
have turn up noses.
The regulations of the guard chasseurs,
on the other hand, admit only dark haired
men. The guard officers, being privileged
by birth as well as rank in their chosen
professions, treat their colleagues in the
line almost rs badly as the latter treat
their subaterns. Up to few years ago
the distinction between them was such
that guard lieutenant had precedence
over the captain of the line. The late
cars father changed this state of things
somewhat, but not much. A major of tho
guards would even today rank higher than
a line colonel, If there were such a person.
But the advancement of the regular army
officer seldom surpasses the rank of bat
TALON chief Men having attained that
distinction are generally made com

QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.
Superstition Plays Leading Role With
Young Men and Maidens.

Superstition Plays Leading Role With
Young Men and Maidens.
1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve sup
per tables, and for tho young people,
blindfolded or in the dark, to pick out
each q straw thercfrom. Should the straw
be green the lucky maiden expects to wear
q bridal wreath or the youth to lead q
blushing bride to the altar during the ap-
preaching year, but a dried straw foretells
to either long waiting, possibly even until
death.
In other rural Polish districts on the
"Christ's eve" wine, beer and water are
placed by girl between two candles on a
table. She then retires into corner or
an adjoining room to watch the result re-
flocted in a mirror hung for this purpose.
If as the clock strikes midnight a man
enters and drinks the wine, she is happy,
for her wooer will be rich. Should he
drink tho beer, she may be content, for
the wooer viii be well to do. If the water
be chosen, her husband will be very poor.
But if as tie clock strikes no man comes
to her table the anxious maiden shivers
with more thnn midnight terror, believing
that she is doomed to be early the bride of
DEATH
Poland is peculiarly rich in these OBJ
servances, spreading themselves through
out the year, both sexes being equally
superstitious in this respect. On New
Years eve the young unmarried men place
themselves before a fire, and bending down
look beneath their legs. Should a woman
appear in the background it is the one
they will marry, but if they see shape as
of coffin it forebodes for them death
during the scar close at hand.-Pbiladel-

He "rlnpsd., Him the Gloves.

1t is related Of the famous Jonas Han
way that, on being politely reproached by
nobleman for not coming oftener to dine
with him, be replied:
Indeed my lord, cannot afford it..
On another occasion he was paying
the string of servants, who, as usual, ap-
peared on the scene as he was leaving the
house he had visited.
''Sir your greatcoat,' said one, upon
which he paid a shilling.
Your umbrella, sir, said n second,
another shilling.
''Sir, your hat" another shilling.
"Your gloves, sir.'
"Why, friend,' said Hanway, "you
may keep the gloves They are not worth

doors and announced in the voice of q
man who felt that it was quite time
for this nonsense of calling to be put
an end to by the more compact arrange
ment of the morrow:
Lord Parkhurst!''
A man of middle size, with fair and
pleasant face, and a rather short beard,
entered the room. His blue eyes
smiled rather more than his lips as he
took the little hand of his hostess in
his own with the air of one verging on
proprietorship of the same, and said:
Now, darling, about what we have to
settle before morning! l have come en-
tirely on business, as you perceive"
Rosalys merely smiled up at him.
Miss jennings left the room and Ros-
alys' sailor silently kissed and admired
his bctrothed, till he continued:
"Ah--my beautiful one! l have moth
ing to give you in return for the inn
measurable gift you are about to be-
stow on me-CXcapting such love as no
man ever felt before. | almost wish
you were not quite so good, and per-
feet. and innocent as You are! And
wish you were q poorer woman-as
poor as land had no lovely home such
as this. To think you have kept your
self from all other men for such an I'M
worthy fellow as me!'' ...-.... -..s
Rosalys looked away from him along
the green vistas of chestnuts and
beeches stretching far down outside
the windows.
"Oswald-I know how much you
care for me, and that is why Hope
you won't be disappointed-afte you
have taken me tomorrow for good and
ALL / wonder if l shall hinder and
hamper you in your profession? Per-
haps you ought to marry girl much
younger than yourself-your nature is
SO young-not a maturing woman like
me-"
For all answer he smiled at her with
the confiding, fearless gaze that she
loved.
Lord Parkhurst stayed on through
paradisaical hour till Miss Jennings
came to tell them that tea was in the
library. Presently they were reminded
by the same faithful relative and de-
pendent that on that evening of all
evenings they had promised to drive
across to the house of Col. Lacy, Lord
Parkhurst's uncle, and one of Rosalys'
near neighbors, and dine there quietly
with two or three intimate friends.

Washington County Railroads.

The controversy cone erning the renewal
of Col L. ID. Green's charter for the
Maine Shore Line railroad was continued
before the committee, all of Thursday
afternoon and until nearly midnight In
he afternoon Col Green told the story of
ais attempts to build the road, of the time
and money he had expended and the
obstacles he had met In the evening
Hon. A. McNichol argued for an hour
against the renewal He contended Col.
Green had shown to the committee why
nc could not build the road. The Maine
Central had gone back on him, Russell
Sage would have nothing to do with him.
Mr. McNichol told of his conversation with
Sage aud reasons why the latter would
aid in building the road to connect with
his Shore Line and make it profitable, pro
vidcd Col Green could be got out of the
way. AS to Green's vested rights, why, if
lie had them, did he come to the Legisla-
ture? The men now opposed to Green
had helped him until convinced he could
not build the road. As sure as both char
ters be extended there will be fight. He
was followed by Col Green, who put in
letters to show that the Maine Central
was not against him. and told why Russell
Sage was opposed. He put in a lette r
from Mr. McNichol bearing on the mat
ter. Judge Rounds spoke next. he
claimed that the people were not for the
Washington County road more than for
the Shore Line A few men wanted to
rob C OF. Green of that for which he had

At the late election in Kingman

boys were elected to county offices.
C. X. Furrow, the 27-year-old son
OF "Uncle Calvin" Fsrrow, who once

Populist ticket by 4 plurality OF %,
while l.. w. Kabler, another worthy

ticket by a plurality of 200.
