really invaluable to the government, to

to call her down the shore somewhere,

early the next morning, while she was
bowling along at about seven knots an

deacon, by ringing bell at the end OF

Infant Baptisms In Russia.

81 was fortunate enough" writes
Trumbull White, ito visit the Church
Of st. David. in Tihis, Russia, just in
time to attend baptismal ceremony.
According to the rites Of the Greek
church, as pracuced in this ancient
Georgian temple, the youngster In
question, fine boy or weeks old,
had to be immersed three times in
baptismal font filed with water, each
time to be completely covered, in ad-
dition to various blessings and anoint-
ings with holy oil and several long
prayers.
"The benevolent looking old priest
proved himself q man Of kindly
thoughtfulness. While the family group
around the baby was getting him prop
erly unclad, for the ceremony requires
that the child shall be naked, the priest
surreptitiously dipped his finger into
the font, and I saw by bis face that it
was too cold. Then be stepped behind
a screen, where his samovar was
steaming, emptied the hot water into
g pitcher, and while the family still
kept busy over the baby he poured
enough to temper the pool that had
been provided for the shorn lamb. The
result was that the little fellow took
his plunges without q murmur and
thereby distinguished himself."-Chl-

'T was called one day to a certain

sician. 'The patient, as it developed
on my arrival, had been married only q
few days before and was in the city

Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having
her husband present at the operation.
However, be insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but I no.

regaining consciousness, when she
opened her mouth, and out fell q set Of

had hoped, poor woman, to pass

her wearing such things being known
to her husband.

A Bold L&tle Bird.

The honeybird is we'll known denl-
zen Of many parts Of the Trans7aaL
It has the unique popularity that 1t
does not fear men and women, but
actually flies up to them, uttering a
plaintire low note and, flying about
their heads, tries to lead them on to
the nearest clump Of rocks or kopje.
The bird knows full well that under a
certain rock lies store Of honey, con-
cealed by the cunning bees, and, rock
honey being as much esteemed by
birds as by human beings, the clever
little fellow tries to induce friendly
being with two strong hands to push
aside the rock, so that it may get to
the honey.
If 1t succeeds in its object and the
traveller on the reldt, attracted by the
birds futterings to and fro between
himself and the rocks, finds the honey,
the bird changes its plaintiTe tone to
one Of joy and pleasure, as much as to
say. Thank you very much"
