quite so keenly as does the sight of
our glorious stars and stripes
"What struck you more than any
thing else in your visit to Russia,
Doctor?"
''The deep religious feeling among
the people. Their churches are every
where, and all classes of society Loyalty
support them. a curious sight was
afforded the stranger in the conduct
Of the people when passing one of
these churches or religious image
They lift their hats and reverently
cross themselves every time. In cities
where churches are numerous this is
certainly a curious sight"
Another thing which particularly
impressed me was the hospitality of
the people. Our notions about Rus
STA are mainly wrong. We think
them cold and cruel, and the horrors
of their prison system are constantly
held before our eyes. If a reason ex-
listed for this belief it has undoubted-
ly disappeared. Prisoners are not
treated with any more rigor than they
are in England or any other country
The people themselves are kindly,
genial and warm hearted This was
the universal experience with all
classes of people. They seemed to
feel that they could not do enough for
their guests.
The hospitality shown was wonder
full. We averaged during our visit to
Russia, one banquet every two days.
One day we had three. At another
visited, spent in one day on us, 1000
roubles, or more than $21, 900. The
whole trip was a continual round of
fetes.
Another most striking thing was
the wonderful future before Siberia.
Witha country as rich and undeyelop-
oped as ours and with climate no
worse than ours, future is opening
before that land such as no other
country on the globe has as far as
material prosperity is concerned. We
were simply amazed at it.
The government is becoming more
moderate in its policy, and it is safe to
say that as fast as the people. are
ready for them, reforms will be made
and wider scope of freedom will be
granted. Yet with all these advan-
tages home is the best place and is far
beyond any possible advancement
which Russia may ever make. Our
younger generation should realize the
wonderful blessings vouchsafed to us
through our institutions and fit them
selves to an intelligent direction of
affairs when the lapse of time calls
them TO assume control. BY care
full study of other countries we can
gain more intelligent and exalted
idea Of your own and become better
and more loyal citizens

insect Connncrors.

A recent bulletin Of the department Of
agriculture points cut the fact that
within the past Is years there has been
a complete change in the chief insect
foe of the cotton plant Previous to
1881 the cotton worm was not only the
principal, but almost the sole, insect
6opredator dreaded OH the cotton planta-
tions Since that year the cotton worm
has gradually disappeared, and a new
enemy to the cotton plant the boil
worm, has taken its place. Such revo-
lutions in the insect world not infre-
quently occur, and sometimes they take
on the appearance Of actual conquests
effected by one species over others. In
the Sandwich Islands, for instance, a
species Of ant introduced from abroad
is driving out all other insects, the only
native species that seems able to with
stand it being the earwig.

The scholar should know his text

ton Of being outmatched in his own
speciality by a layman, as in this story
from an exchange:
A child was brought to q Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told that
the name was to be Noah he naturally
referred to the infant rs ''ho" in the
course of the service. Soon he felt his
surplice pulled by one of the women,
who whispered to him that sit was
lass. "
but Noah is not a girls name, :"
said the parson.
YES, it is, >" spoke up the child's IA
thor.
An adjournment was made to the
vestry to settle the point The father
said that whenever he had a child to be
named he opened the Bible and chose
the first name Of the proper sex that
met his eye The clergyman insisted
that in the present case a mistake had
been made, whereupon the father opened
the Bible at Numbers XVI, 33, and
read, 1.-The names Of the daughters Of
Zelophehad were Noah, " etc.
There was no more TO be said.

tain it is that in q few short weeks she
was dead. The 1eighbors floclsed to the

Gradually Acquiring Information Concern
ing Methods of Collecting a Bill.
"When we moved into the country" "
said Mr.. Changoofair, II almost won
dercd at the absolute confidence Of tho
boss Of the moving party. 1t was long
haul, two or three vans, and the bill a
matter Of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything out OF the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill. l wondered what they would
do if somebody should say then that he
would call at the Office and settle or
something of that sort. But, then,
knew 1 was going to pay; that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff in
and collect the bill afterward Of me, and
/ made up my mind that they were
keen men, who knew people when they
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not
"Well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us in, but
they didn't know us at the Office any
more than if they had never heard Of
us. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans-it was a different crew from
that that took Us out-began Juggling in
the things just rs the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and wondered
again what would happen if they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustling
the things in just as if they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
after awhile the stuff was pretty
much all in-practically all but tho
piano-and 1 wondered why they hadn' c
brought that in before, because had
seen it loaded, and knew it was one Of
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end Of one of the vans. So went
ont to see, and there was the piano,
right where l had seen it when it was
put aboard at the extreme rear end OF
the van, while all the stuff i'll front had
been taken out, carried around the end
of the piano and on into the house. In
front of it the van was empty.
Passing through the hall, met the
head driver, the boss of the party, ant
he, just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill foi
the moving, and paid it on the spot
Then, everything else having beer
moved in, the whole gang tailed on t'
the piano and walked it right into th'
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved Il
until / had paid the bill, but this didn'
give me quite such fiattering opinion
of myself as the other way had, but
more than confirmed my original opin
ion of the shrcwdness and ability of th
van folks. They made few mistakes AM

London, April 14.-Truth says: 1T is
doubtful if Lord Salisbury's health win
permit him to retain the posts of pre-
