of deep breathing Draw into the lungs

MODERN RUSSIA.
Innuencr of Peter the
Great.

All nations feel more or less the
original impetus given them by one
great man, but probably none so much
as modern Russia. II may almost be
said to have been the creation Of one
man, Peter the Great, and the features
he impressed upon the Russian state
are still distinctly visible. A mass of
barbarism was transformed by him into
"a powerful and active member of the
family Of civilized nations. lie gave
to his subjects an army, a navy and
an educational system. Commerce
with foreign countries, previously for
hidden, he warmly encouraged. The
autocrat transferred his capital to the
shores of the Baltic, and built the great
city which bears his name to be the
open door 10 the civilization of the
western world. lie introduced the arts,
the literature, the sciences and the
economic theories Of the most advanced
nations. Russia at the present day
is actuated by the ideas Of the great
car. In its restless ambition, its sub
tie and INSCRIPTIONS policy, its var
uish Of culture, scarcely hiding the
ferocity OF the barbarian, its intoler-
auce Of popular liberty and its real
solicitude for the material welfare Of
the people, the Russia Of to-dsy Is the
Russia Of Peter the Great

SAMOAN LIFE
Easy and Agreeable
Time.

When native Samoans are not al war
they seem to foreigners TO have a very
easy and agreeable life. There is never
very much TO do, and what there is is
not arduous or firing. The old women,
for instance, braid mats or sit upon
the rocks and beat and strip the bark
for making tapa, the native cloth. The
men spend much of their time in max
ing fishing nets and tackle.
In spite Of the simplicity OF the ma
tional attire, the Samoans are rather
vain, and spend a good deal of time in
identifying themselves. The hair is
often plastered with white lime, giving
II, when dry, the effect of white wig
The lime is washed off by night The
result is a gradual change in the color
Of the hair from red to bright yell
low. Apart from this strange fancy.
the Samoans quite share the Euro
peans' ideas in regard to beauty. They
particularly admire tall persons.
4 fad Of the young man OF Samoa is
to wear the name of his sweetheart
tattooed upon the forearm. As the
Samoan wears no sleeves this ornament
IS always visible, and he is very proud
of II, which is easily understood, as the
