A Fifth Season.

In northern Russia the month of Oc-
tober is characterized by features so re-
markable that it is reckoned as fifth
season, coming between autumn and
winter, and called the rasputnya sea-
son. 1t is nearly coincident in time
with our Indian summer, but is more
regular in its occurrence, and lasts
longer. The word "rasputnya," says
Mr.. Trevor-Battye, recent traveller in
Russia, means 'the separation of the
roads," During the season bearing this
name the country is impossible, owing
to the thawing of the first frosts and
the blocking of the streams with broken
ice. The land resembles a quagmire,
and even the government postal service
is suspended for a month.-Youth's
Companion.
