SOME PASSPORT RULES.
Ne Exceeding strictness Observed ~ sh<
Police Authorities Of Russia

Ne Exoscding strictness Observed By the
Police Authorities Of Russia
There are few countries In which trav-
slers now require passports In order 10
promote their convenience and security.
In Brazil and Venezuela u passport must
be shown to the officials before one Is al
lowed to leave the country for foreign
port. This Is vexatious measure, en-
forced apparently for the sake of enabling
few officials to collect small fees.
In Russia passport regulations arc en-
forced with great stringency. No trav-
eler Is allowed to enter the empire until
ne has obtained a passport and convi ed
the Russian consular officers at tho port
from which he sails that he Is neither a
Roman Catholic priest nor Hebrew. The
question ordinarily asked Is, what Is
your religion" but it is designed to pro-
vide against the entry of either OF these
two classes. When the traveller arrives ut
Russian port, with passport which has
been properly visaed and oountersigned at
a consular office, it Is critically examined
by a police officer and duly registered. AT
the entrance of the hotel another police
| officer takes possession Of the document,
and, in the course of "a hours, returns II
with a permit for a limited residence IL
the country.
When the traveller departs for another
city in the empire, he must have the pass
port countersigned by the police. Thi
process continues until he reaches TIT
frontier, which he cannot cross unless tn
passport has been visaed and stamped b,
the police Not infrequently tourists ar
stopped at the frontier and subjected q
serious inconvenience because they hav
neglected to comply with the police regu
lations respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance an
irritation among tourists, who are apt :
overlook the fact that Russians as we
as foreigners are compelled to observ
these police regulations. 1t is the bushes
of the police to know where everybod
lodges. A permit is required If natiy
removes from one quarter OF a town
another. Everybody Is registered by tn
, police when he arrives or departs, and To-
eigners when they are in Russia are dea
with on equal terms with permanent res
dents. Youths Companion.

ever, that did see him and offered to
sell him an interest in the shipyard.
This deal might have been contaminated
but for some sharp traders who sought to
take part in the transaction. My reason
for Offering to sell an interest in the
plant was to have an ordnance factory
established Mt Newport News and also
to extend the yard, though it is now
one of the largest in the world. Ioffered
to sell Sir William Armstrong half OF
the stock, or, if he wished to have the
controlling interest, 90 per cent of it.
This, say, was in the interest OF the
yard. i would not think of selling that
much of the stock if did not have SO
much other business to engage my at
tention. / cannot state positively
whether or not an ordnance factory will
be located here. / have not abandoned
the idea, however. New York Trib'

ISLANDS NAMED FOR DOGS.
An Amusing Legend That Is Illustrative
of Canine Independence.


Dozens, some say scores, Of islands OF
greater OF less dimensions are known as
Little Dogs, Dog islands. Big Dogs, etc.
An island in the Thames, now part OF
London, is called the isle of Dogs. Three
lofty, rocky islands near ST. Thomas, Viz.
gin islands, are known as the Great Dog,
George Dog and the West Dog.
There are Dog islands in the Malayan
archipelago, off the coast OF Maine, on the
coast of Franklin county, Fla, and anoth-
er in the Serawati group.
On the coast of Kamchatka there is an
island known as the island OF Talking
Dogs. The curious story connected with
this spot of land and the one that gives It
the name it bears is this, according to an
Asiatic legend:
The first inhabitants Of the far north
did not employ dogs, but drew their wal
rus rib sleds themselves. After ages had
elapsed men made an attempt to use the
dogs of that region--which, by the way,
talked Just as men do--as beasts of burden.
The talking dogs, however, argued the
case with their would be masters, and
were not long in proving that they had
! enough to do to catch game for themselves
| and the children of men.
But the men soon learned the use OF tht
bow and arrow and the spear, thus ruin
| ing the occupation of the talking dogs
/ Again an attempt was made to harness
them to sleds, but they rebelled, and al
swan out to the island afterward known
as the island of the Talking Dogs.
Here the game was scarce, and the dog
soon turned cannibals and by the end O
| the first winter there were only seven LETT
| Some human kamchatkans volunteered
to row out to the island and bring oil tn
remnant of the dog colony. But the dog
refused to leave their barren island, say
ing: "What people are your We have new
CT seen you before" For this untrutl
I Chrmi, the dog god, took their voices ava.
from them, and until this day they hav
been the dumb servants OF man.-Phila

One interesting feature of the flower

An Artist Anecdote.

Holman Hunt began life as clerk to
an auctioneer and estate agent. One incl
dent of this tedious yet ambitious period
of the artists life never ceased to AFFORD
him amusement. Tho windows In his
room were made of ground glass, and as he
had little to do he spent much of his time
in drawing flies upon It's roughened sur
face
a blot of ink sufflced for the body and
some delicate pencil strokes for tho wings,
and at q distance the deception was per-

Day by day the number increased, and
one morning his employer came In, stop.

His wife had fought for long time

LETTING OUT THEIR FEET.
Chinese Women Manage to Hedge ON the
Old Custom.


Old Custom.
There are few people who are not thor
oughly familiar with the custom of tho
Chinese women of binding up their leet
to make them as small AS possible. But
it will be news to most Of us that 1t Is pos
sible for Chinese women to hedge in the
matter and to so bind their feet that, II
they become wife who has to work, they
can "let their feet out" SO to speak.
A British consul who was stationed Tor
some years at Chinese town bears wit
ness to this fact in the following story ::
He was startled one day by an announce
ment from his manservant that ne hao
had an offer of marriage, adding that the
woman had noticed that he was good
looking fellow, with fine position, and
that she had sent the preliminary go be-
tweens.' "How much does she cost and
what are her feet likef" the consul asked.
"She says she requires no body money,
and, though her feet are squeezed, they
are not past letting out.
The price of a first class marriage, In
GLIDING trousseau, red chair ana music
feasts for the gentry, amounted to Sl7i
and this the consul agreed to pay, bu'
with one stipulation: "Well, won't have
small feet stumping about my premises
If you let her feet out, it Is bargain.
Within two days the servant came to an
nounce that lit was all right. The mar
riage comes off tomorrow. Tho consu
could not quito make out how he hat
managed it, but the next night. while h
was sitting at dinner, the door suddenl.
opened, and the servant burst in with hi
! best clothes Oh and his bride behind him
| She was we'll dressed, comely woman
about 80, and her feet were already lie
out" She could walk quite easily .-Nev
