Philadelphia Press: 1t is no unusu-
al thing this summer to meet the
barefoot boy" at every turn among
the smart set. Master Millionaire has
discarded shoes and stockings for the
hot weather and trudges through
country grass and over seashore sand
in the full b~lissfulness of barefooted-
ness.
This is an encroachment on the Gus
tom which has prevailed in the south
for many years. There the children
of the best families run unshod all
through the summer. Far from maxi
ing their feet large and unshapely, rs
some have supposed, this freedom
from footwear allows natural devel-
opment and prevents troubles of the
feet. Ane tall and graceful southern
woman, who never knew a summer
in shoes until she vas half grown,
wears a double A, a size which any
one might envy, for few feet are mar
row enough to carry it.
The healthfulness of this new fad
is un~doubtable. The principles Of air
baths are contained in it; all the
foundations OF physical culture are
its footholds. A radical physician has
lately declared that infants ought not
to be burdened with any clothing at
all for n time, so that their little bod.
les could absorb all the oxygen posi-

CHAPTER XVIII.

TIL dew-drops were beading the long
waving grass, and glittering tremblingly
on the rustling ivy leaves, which shook of
the translucent gems, in a passing breath
of the sweet summer morning breeze,
down upon the fresh, rose-tinted faces of
the little daisies beneath, scarce Enclosed
as yet to the warm smile of the sunlight.
The blossoms of the dewy white roses
stirred softly, too, and the perfumcd liquid
of their snowy chalices dropped on the
thirsty leaves Of the purple-fowered wild
geranium, that clustered in %shrub-like
scented masses of downy leaves and lilac
starred petals.
But the birds were silent in the shadow
of the elm-trees; chirp and song and 1ut.
tering gladness alike were hushed. The
feathered occupants waited, watching in
fear and surprise, to see the final issue Of
the strange invasion of that sunny, peace
full corner by tho elm trees, where the
white roses and purple geraniums had
bloomed in wild luxuriance for so many
years, where the dark clustering ivy
twined and crept over the messy wall,
and the pink-tipped daisies starred the sod
the sunny, peaceful corner in the old
English cemetery Of the town Of Winston,
State of Massachusetts,, United States of
America.
Unwonted and strange the invasion ap.
peared; for the peace and quiet of that lit
tie, old, O~ut-of-the-way cemetery and its
weed-grown, homegrown graves was
seld I'M disturbed by the arrival of another
occupant for one of the many narrow
homes in that silent land. More seldom
still was one brought to the sunny corner
beneath the elm trees-the strangers cor.
ner-where the bones of a score of ship
wrecked emigrants from English homes
Tar over the sea had been lying more than
forty years.
Yet was one coming now; for the new
home-oh, so narrow, so dark, so cherries
was prepared, and the pink-tinged daisies
and tender dewy grasses, cut and shorn
away, dropped and died, heralding the ar
rival of the new tenant to his home. Pres
emily a group Of dark-clothed men had
gathered, and one, robed in white, with
open book, solemnly gave possession to
the new occupant of his six feet of earth
In the God's-acre of the sunny old ceme-
terry. Then the small group of men laid
the stranger dow in that strange home
in a foreign land, with a few signs and
grave sad looks, but no tears, no sobs, no
pallid bereaved faces; there were only a
rev grave, sober men-no women, save
one, and she was weeping. The hour vas
early, the cemetery was distant from the
town; no women were there, save this one,
who was young and pale and fair, and
wore fresh mourning tokens, and quietly
wept behind her thick black veil.
She had a cluster of beautiful dewy
white roses, buds. and %half-blown bios
SONS in her hand; and, as the men pre-.
pared to lower the oak coffin, with its
FURNISHED plate flashing in the rays of the
morning sun, down, down from the flow-
ers aud sunshine, the stirring blossoms,
the gbttering d~ewdrops, the breath of the
sweet summer mornings life, into the
dank, deep, silent place appointed, she
pushed gently forward.

RUSSIAN COURTS.
Justice Adninistsrcd In Primitive bnt
Effective ashton.

In the poorer parts of Russia Justice
is administers in a primitive yet effect
i've fashion. says n recent writer who
had the fortune TO be present Mt n sit
ting of one Of the peasant courts in n
government of central Russia. The
judges, chosen from the peasants, were
unlettered. The session was held in a
log cabin-a small, low room. A pict-
IRE of the emperor decorated the wall,
and as in every Russian house, in the
corner hung the holy eikons. Three
judges and IL scribe were present. The
day was Sunday, n day of idleness for
the peasantry. The hall, the judges
and the public AL had an air of simple
dignity, almost of rude majesty.
Two cases were tried. Parties and
witnesses, as they entered. bowed low
to the holy images. The judges spoke
and questioned by tNrns. or all at once,
each loudly expressive his opinion. |
admired the patient persistence with
which they tried to b~ing the litigants
~ an amicable understanding. One
case was characteristic.
A woman, n large, robust virago,
complained of having been beaten by a
man. The mans defense was that the
woman had struck him first. Plaintiff
and defendant stood before the Judges
yolubly pleading each his or her case
and appealing 10 thor witnesses at
their sides.
"Varvara Petrova, declared one wit
ness for the defendant has said that
with n vedro Of vodka she was sure Of
winning her case"
This statement did NIT appear to as
tonish or scandalize he court. The
judges gravely nodded their heads, and
after II brief rebuke went on with the
case.
Come to terms; make it up between
YOU" they repeated over and over, try
ing to get the parties themselves to sug-
gcst n sentence, instead of pronouncing
one of e~Xcathedra.
well now, Varvara Pctrova," said
one of the judges, nj last, show much
indemnity do you want?"
three roubles."
"Ah, three roubles! That's too much.
You won't get that" muttered the
Judge. Then turning to the defendant:
"And you, how much are you willing
to give herP"
Nothing" replied the man.
"Ah," again muttered the Judge,
that's not enough. How much will
you give her?"
We'll, then, one rouble."
"One rouble and a shtofg" interrupted
the woman.
"Shtofs and whisky are not to be men,
toned here" remarked one of the
judges, whose austerity may have been
increased by Il presence. "Out of
here you may drink all you want, but
that has nothing to do with the deci-
sions we render here"
The woman, on this, looked resigned;
the scribe read the sentence, the two
litigants bowed in acquiescence, then
again TO the holy images, and withdrew
with their friends and relatives.
