CURIOUS RUSSIAN RITES.

The Babe and the Church-Extreme Unc-

All Russian babies are anointed after
being equivalent to the confirmation i'll
Anglican, churches. The baby's eyes
are anointed and the feet. After this
the baby is brought often to holy COM
munion, which is administered to it
with spoon. But child does not go
to confession before it is seven years
old.
When Russian Christian dies he is
dressed in the costume of his calling,
as the late emperor was dressed in the
uniform of an infantry regiment. The
costume of mans profession is chosen
to clothe his corpse because every man
is held to direct account for his plain
duties in the present life and his call
ing therein.

Habits of tho Nile Observation-Disclosures
! AS songster the crocodile is not
to be compared to the bulbul, but he
can, without any exertion. hold his own
in that respect with the bull. Like the
latter he bellows, but, unlike him, tic
bellows at night, whereas the bull Only
bellows during the day, except when he
is badly scared. With these exceptions
there is nothing in common between
the crocodile and either the bulbul or
the bull. There is no definite informa-
ton to be obtained regarding the ex-z
act lines upon which the first crocodile
was built. It is maintained by those
who have devoted lifetime to a study
of his interior that the traces of dia-
phragm which are to be found in him
to-day show that his organization must
have at one time borne some resem.
blance to that of warm-blooded AMI
mails. H.: 49,, ~ -.
! There is little in the animal kingdom
that can look SO dead and be so much
alive as a crocodile. The number Of
unsuspecting persons who have mis-
taken him for a log and have failed to
discover their mistake until it was too
late to be of any benefit to them will
never be known. In ancient times,
several years prior to the British occu-
patton of Egypt, some of the people of
that country worshiped the crocodile as
a god, there being nothing else like
him. They fed him on dainties and
logged him out with jewels. In other
parts of Egypt, however, the natives
looked upon him as a devil. Having
no firearms, they did not fill him with
lead, but they managed to immediate
him successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time.
The crocodile is not so numerous in
the Nile as he was in the days of the
Rameses family; in fact, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account of the annoyances
inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for tourist to see 3
crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revalver, and to reptile that is
fond of a quiet life this sort of thing is
simply insufferable. He will not me-
lest man unless he can take him at a
disadvantage, and so long as man does
not, unthinkingly, step on him, the
crocodile will go his way and calmly
await his opportunity. .-.. So
His methods of capturing large game
are plural as well as singular. Some
times he will lie on river bank, partly
covered with sand or mud, until all
absent-minded native wanders within
reach. Having grabbed his prey he
will waddle into the water and there
drown the struggler. He will then
drag his victim ashore and bury him in
sand or mud and wait for days before he
gorges himself. . - 4-st'-..s- es4.s.z,
