Khlrgese Prefer the Moslem Faith.

Our Odessa correspondent says that
the Russian orthodox missionaries
have so failed in their proselytizing
efforts among the Khirgese that the
missions will probably be shortly
withdrawn. Nearly the whole of the
steppe tribes, generally described az
'heathens," are now adopting, al
most zen masse," the Mohammedan
faith, which is spread among them
chiefly by Tartar teachers. The Mo
hammedan Tartars have always en-
joyed the right of free proselytisro
among the natives of the Khirgeas
steppes. London News.

unraailxed AnIlcipAtivns.

That Long Islanders are not wholly
devoid Of humor, which has been
charged against them, is clearly
demonstrated by recent occurrence
at Riverhead, the Suffolk county
seat
tt seems that the local debating So
ciety had under consideration the
old topic, "Whcther there is greater
pleasure derived from anticipation
than from realization2' This weighty
subject was discussed at length and
was finally carried in favor of antici.
patton by a heavy majority.
Now, it happens that a favorite
dish of Riverheaders is rabbit stew.
and that one of the losing faction,
Nate Downs, is esteemed as the best
concocter of rabbit stew ON the east
ern end of Long Island.
Not long after the famous debate,
Nate invited the whole company to
visit his house and partake of the ia
vorite dish. Anticipation ran high,
and at the appointed hour the club
assembled en- masse, but elias for re-
alization there was no rabbit stew,
only the usual paraphernalia Of
serving it-dishes, knives, etc.
Nate had sought by this practical
method to force the society to recon
slider its hasty decision and was en-
inently successful. The company
left, very angry, but with the settled
conviction that so far as rabbit stew
was concerned realization would be
more satisfactory than anticipation.
