An examination of the recent Rus
sian census tables, by P. Kropotkin,
shows that the centre of gravity of the
population of European Russia has
been shifted within the last fifty years
southwark. That is, the Baltic is los
ing more and more of it's Importance
to Russia, and the Black and Caspian
seas are gaining in proportion. All
the large cities, with the exception Of
st. Petersburg and Riga, are situated
to the south Of Moscow, and the prince
mentions nine towns of from ninety
one thousand to one hundred and
seventy thousand inhabitants, which
fifty years ago were ''quite insignif-
cant spots."' They are either centres
of q considerable trade or of some i'm
portant branch of industry.

something relishing Miss Matte had
fetched in. They said they invited
her to dinner, but she had comply:
one of them harnesses next door,"
"Fiddlesticks" said the deacon's
wife, in avery disrespectful tone, "You
just drive straight back and bring
Marthy Ellison up here to dinner.
Tell her I don't take any excuse, and,
if she can't come otherways, she can
bring her comp'ny along. though the
way them shif'less harnesses impose
on her is mortal shame"
Good Deacon Giles had learned
docility in many years of experience,
and the double knock at Miss Mattie's
door followed as quickly as could be
reasonably expected. Miss Matte at
tempted neither excuse nor hesitation,
but accepted her good providence with
radiant delight.
"Mother said to fetch your comply
along" said the deacon, glanoing
doubtfully about the small room. 1--WE
heard you had one of the harnesses. I
kinder hope faint the cross-eyed one
that stole my pears"
"Oh," said Miss Matte, laughing
into the little mirror, as she tied her
bonnet, ''he's had his dinner and he's
gone out"
She didn't say that he had eaten
hers also, but at Mrs. Giles's hos
pitable table, under the genial inau-
ence of generous fare and pleasant
old-time "reminiscences, she told the
story of Tommy Barnes and the lamb
chops in way that made the deacon
lose his breath with laughter. And
when she was tucked into the yellow
| sleigh for the ride home, Mrs. Giles
stopped at the door to say:
II putsome bits of bones and things
! in basket under the seat for Tommy.
Takes sight Of stuff to RELY fill up a
| cat fur 'nough to give his moral princi-
Piles fair showin'."
Tommy was on the step waiting to
! welcome Miss Matte, which shows
his forgiving disposition, and, though
he got as much as was good for him
out Of the basket under the seat, Miss
Matte very wisely concluded that the
mince pie, roast chicken and cram
berry sauce could hardly have been
meant for his delight, so she locked
them in the cupboard, saying de.
cidedly:

give your moral principles a fair show

soon to go tumbling into the heap of
clashing, jingling coins tossed about
by the butchers greasy fingers, or
perhaps into the pocket Of that hor-
rible apron with blood-stains on it.
Miss Matte shuddered, but quickly
recovered herself to say, cheerful]y:
ooh, thank you, Mr.. Simmons; but
don't you think ducks are q sight of
trouble, what with the stuGing and the
roasting and needing to be looked
after and basted regular? I made up
my mind to something simple, and I
don't know anything that's easier got
or more relishing than lamb chops.
Two lamb chops is about what J.
thought Of, Mr.. Simmons. You know
there's only me"
Mr.. Simmons had not seen the FIVE
cent piece, but he understood just as
we'll as if he had, and he began to cut
the chops at once, talking all the time
to relieve his own embarrassment aud
assuring Miss Matte that eff folks
only knew it, there was nothing like
lamb chops to encourage your appe-
tite and strengthen you up all over. :"
"But you'll have to take three
chops" looking curiously atthe money
Miss Matte laid in his big hand, cor
I'll have to make change, and change
is scarcer than hens teeth tonight.
You might have company unexpected,
you know, and an extry chop would
come in handy"
Miss Matte laughed so genially
that the market man ventured to slip
sweetbread and q bunch of yellow
celery into the basket on the sly. He
would have loved to put in the duck,
but that would have looked as if he
suspected her reason for not buying
1t, and, bless you, he knew better
than that. Some people have feel
ings, though their faces are red and
their hands coarse and greasy.
Miss Matte went very happily down
the street. She had lighted her lamp
before she went out, and a cheerful
little ray smiled encouragingly at her
as she came to the gate. All the
other windows in the weather beaten
old house were black and empty and
looked to the lonesome little woman
