 Another of those curious sects which are continually springinG up in Russia is reported from the government of Astrakhau They call themselves, or are called Enoch Hes, and their beliefs are, as usual in these cases, the result of gross ignorance. combined with much reading of the Bible. says the London Standard. All tokens of the imperial government arc unrecOgnized by them as being the works O. anti Christ, whose seal, namely, the Rus sian eagle, they find on all official pa pers and the current coin of the land. That wonderful priest, John of Kron- stadt. is for them the Prophet Elias. while the local orthodox priest is Enoch, and the appearance of these two in the flesh they regard as pres aging the end of the world. As is the custom in such cases, the police have laid hands on all members of the sect that they could, and some seventy per sous are hoW lylH5 III PAtooh, oHo "lAi In the ordinary course be sent off to residence" for life in Siberia.

LETTER BOXES.

Which Deliver Messages and Cards t@
 Upper Floors.
 In several of the new apartment houses in Paris an ingenious invention has been placed, which Is of such puac- tical, common sense value that it might be Introduced with profit in this country where any saving of time and labor appeals so strongly to modern American ideas. The patent in Ques- ton is an automatically moving letter box for the reception of letters ad- dressed to a tenant. In the gestibule of the house are placed just as many of these letter boxes as there are ten ants in the building In general ap- pearance there is little difference be- tween the group Of boxes and those to be seen in the vestibule of any fat house in this country. Instead, how ever, of retaining the letters. cards, etc, until a servant descends to get them, or the tenant opens the box on entering or leaving his house the Paris invention performs it's work promptly by delivering it's contents to the person for whom they are intend ed. Thus, when the postman on his rounds has a letter for Mir So-and-So ne deposits 1t in the box bearing that gentieman's name. The missiYe opens lever at the bottom of the box. which thereupon moves upward until it comes to MT. So-and-So's apartment. Then, by a co-relative mechanism. the contents of the box are emptied into a receptacle in the hall of the apart ment, and bell is rung automatically to notify the servants that letter has come. It's duty done, the box de- scends again to take it's place with those Of the other tenants in the ves- tibule. And not only a letter alone, but even visiting card dropped into the box will speed t on it's upward errand, so light is the weight required to operate this practical mechanism.

FLORIDA OWLS.
Young Birds of Different Ages Found
 fn One Nest.


 Early in April of last year the cap tain Of the steamer Roseada, plying on the Kissimmee river, reported the dis covery of white owls nest, which was in hole of leaning dead cab bage palm, oVernanging the river, says Forest and Stream. Twice week on his trip up and down he watched the growth of the birds, until he consid- cred them old enough to move. He then transferred them from the nest to 3 box, under serious protest from the parent birds. The birds proved to be speeiments Of the barn owl and great was the surprise to see the three owls of three different sizes and evidently considerable differences i'll their ages. From inquiry it is learned that these birds. after matching the first egg, lay another. whose matching is left to be done by the young bird while 1t feath- CTS, thus explaining why the birds in the different stages of development were found in the same nest and ex- blaming, too, the responsibility that LLAC OIuCSk Mi u tO A@FC NNA the younger ones-mueh as the older child watches over tue younger ones of a family The oldest owl was al most matured-in full feather-its large black eyes, almost human in ex- preston, being we'll set off by the snow-white face. The plumage on the back was golden brown, the rest Of the body streaked with white. The second bird in size was an ashy, dull white; he was covered with down the down on hIs face giving him a vicious expression-entireiy different from the oldest bird. The baby of the nest was scarcely half the size Of the oldest bird. had a sharp, narrow and long face, with a weazened, monkeylike expression, but be was snoWwhite, looking like ball Of wool He cud- died under the larger birds and at feeding time was the most ravenous eater of the crowd All day long these three little owls quietly sat, making no sound except when ap preached when a sharp snapping of their beaks announced that they wished no intruders. To turn them out of their box in daytime meant quick return to it. They were turned out one day for visitor to admire, aud the box removed. when they quietly sought refuge under the folds of her dress skirt. At night they were in their element when turned loose; they walked around. Tapped their wings, would come up and take food from the hand and drink water from spoon placed between their beaks with as much ease as person possibly could. After eating to their satisfac- ton, they would return to the box and there sit for an hour, peering out, swaying their bodies backward and forward, as if rocking themselves to sleep. The pleasure and the study de- rived from observing these young owls scarcely compensated for the sorrow caused around the old palm tree. For several trips, as the Roseada passed up and down the river. the old owls fol- lowed the boat. darting at it and cry ing for the loss of their young, their mournful tones coming to the crew on the still nights like some haunting spirit.

OPINION BY SMITH.
Ex. Attorney General Speaks from
Suprsm Bench.

w. o. Smith has written the opinion
OF the Supreme Court in the matter OF
the application OF Richard Ivers. Col
ector-General of Customs, for a writ
of mandamus against Antonio Perry,
first Judge of the Circuit Court OF the
First Circuit.
The statute authorizing a court o!
record or judge to order a commission
to issue for the examination of wit
nesses vests a discretion in the court
or judge 10 direct the method OF eX-
animation.
THE refusal to order a commission
to issue, directing oral examination
not an abuse of discretion under the
circumstances presented in this case.
'tMandamus is the proper remedy in
such cases only when an abuse OF dis
erection is clearly shown.
This is an application by the Col
lector-General of Customs for n writ
of mandamus directed to 4 Circuit
Judge of the First Circuit to compel
him to order a commission to issue
for the examination OF witnesses re
siding abroad upon oral questions OF
interrogatories.'
In conclusion:
1T would seem that the additional
delay and expense could be avoided
by granting the desired commission
now, but at this stage of the proceed
ings we are unwilling to interpose anC
control the judicial discretion OF the
Circuit Judge.
