Mixed the Services.

In his "reminiscences of his early days
at oxford Max Muller tells of one or
the canons Of Christchurch who had
spent half a century in the place and
read the lessons there twice every day.
OF course he knew the prayer book by
heart, and as long as he could see to
read there was no harm in his reading,
but when bis eyesight failed him and
he had to trust entirely to his memory
he would often go from some WORD III
the evening prayer to the same word IN
the marriage service and from there 10
the burial service. with an occasional
slip into baptism. The result was that
he was no longer allowed to read the
service in chapel except during long
vacation, when the young men were
away,

MOST curious OF modern authors
lM is Cork. the Russian tranp. For
uN seven years bis work has been
known and admired in Russia.
but little vas known of him in other
nations until recent dispatch fr.5m
St Petersburg announced that he had
gone back 10 his hobo life again
Then people began TO ask who he was
and what he had done
II seems that Cork is a real Weary
Willie yeTitable Dusty Rhodes
Every now and -nen'he appears 20
dazzle Russian literary circles and
then is swallowed up By the laboriess
brotherhood again. and drops out of
sight ike those mysterious stars
which blaze for 3 while on an aston
ished world and then disappear and
no man knows whence they come or
whittier they go. He is now about SO
years old and has been a tramp most
of his life. When he was a small boy
he tried his hand at several trades
and occupations. but none of them
suited his peculiar bent, and he found
the life he desired in that of a tramp.
But all this time ne was trying to ed
ucate himself. picking up little learn
ing here and little there, until final
" he was seized with a desire TO
write. A lawyer became interested in
him and sent him to school. But Cor
XII could not stand the confinement
long, and the first his patron knew
the boy had taken TO the road again.
While he was tramping about he
wrote story OF gypsy life, which was
published in a country newspaper It
attracted some attention, but when it
was printed its author was wandering
with his fellow vagabonds and look
sian farm houses.
In 1898 Cork again appeared as an
author. He had written a story of
tramp life which he somehow got to
the notice of the Russian writer. Ko-
rolenko, who helped him to get it pub
lished. 1t was a great success and its
author at once became literary light
in st. Petersburg. Cork gave up
tramping and settled down as liter
airy man He wrote of tramp life and
was hailed as new and original ge-
MUS. For seven years he has been
gaining in reputation among his coun-
trymen, who saw in him a new and
greater Tolstoi. He was at work on a
story to be called THE Moujiks" when
he suddenly disappeared from the
Russian capital and went back to his
old life and his old companions. It is
said that before taking to the road
again he destroyed the last chapters
of the book His friends believe that
he will reappear again before long
and take up his unfinished literary
work.
His return to the life of tramp,
while probably due entirely to the nat
ural instinct of the man, has had the
effect of giving to him and his writings
an advertisement outside of Russia
which they never had before Had it
not been for Gorki's eccentricity. 1t
might have been years before some
American. Englishman or Frenchman,
desiring new thing" in literature,
had discovered him. Now his fame
has gone abroad and it is in order for
some of his works to be translated
into English.

EFFIeIEs OF DEAD KINGS.

Sightseers in Westminster abbey
We're until few years ago shown
the famous wax efiigies of Queen
Elizabeth, Queen Anne, King Will
liam of Orange and his wife, Queen
Mary, and many other distinguished
persons. These were funeral effi-
gies, models of deceased monarchs
that figured most prominently and
significantly in the pageants and pro-
cessions that preceded their burial
In very early Saxon and Norman
times when Kings were sometimes

purposes mock funerals would have
been arranged, had not very strin-
gent means been taken to prevent
such frauds, to convince the people
of the demise of the crown, the dead
monarch's body was emDalmed.

was finally carried on an open bier
in the sight of all 10 its last resting
place. An old chronicler describes
the cerements of King Henry IL most
infinitely, and says that he was cloth
ed in royal robes, his crown upon
his head, white gloves upon his hands,
boots OF gold upon his legs, gilt spurs
upon his heels, a great, rich ring
upon his finger, his scepter in his
hand. his sword by his side, and his
face uncovered and all bare
Later the custom and its primary
inceptions declined, but it did so,
after the manner of all funeral prac-
tees, very slowly and gradually.
While lying in state continued, and
the face of the dead was still per-
mitted to be visible, efiigies were
prepared to simulate the body upon
the bier in the final public process
sion. The figure made represented
the departed monarch as closely as
possible, and was dressed in the
actual robes Of the departed The
face was carved in wood until wax
modelling came into vogue, and was
found to be more like reality, and
until the custom was absolutely a.
bandoned wax was used.
A higher bier was provided for the
effigy to rest upon, so that those who
stood in the streets could see the
face of the departed. as well as those

why the Oyster Crop Fails.

1t Is pointed out that partial failure
Of the oyster crop In certain years. the
diminutlon in size of the oysters on the
market and the extinction Of many
oyster beds that formerly were famous
have been due to want of material for
the production Of the oyster shell. The
beds throughout the oyster belt have
steadily deteriorated In late years and
in many cases become absolutely
worthless In spite Of the fact that food
has been supplied artiflcially at great
expense and trouble and wire fences
have been used to protect the oysters
from the starfish.
For this trouble the defilement Of
the water by sewage and waste Of va
rious manufacturing establishments
have usually been blamed. sometimes
Justly. sometimes without cause. What
the oyster must have or 1t will perish
Is full supply Of carbonate Of lime
with which to build its shell. Near the
mouths of rivers, where carbonate OF
lime In mechanical solution, as II is ex.
pressed. comes down from the hills and
plains Of the interior In drainage. the
oyster has all the material 1t needs fol
building Its house. and at the same
time the infowing tide brings 1t ample
food.-Boston Transcript.

Buptinx For Ostrich Exe..

"Once, and once only" says Fl. B.
Tristman. an English traveller In Sa-
hara. II had the good fortune to take
an ostrlch's nest. although fresh eggs
were not lnfrequcntly brought In by
the Arabs. We observed with our tele-
scopes two birds standing for some
time 10 the same spot and were in
duced to ride toward them. They
rapidly scudded of. but on intersecting
their track we turned back and re-
traced It instead Of continuing vain
pursuit. An ostrich's track Is by no
means easy either to follow or to- re-
trace. for his stride measures. when he
is at full speed. from % to % feet, and
the oblong impression Of two toes at SO
wide intervals affords no very evident
track to any eyes less expert than
those Of a Bedouin huntsman.
I'VE retraced the impression to the
spot where we had seen the birds
standing together and where the sand
was we'll trodden down. Two Arabs
at once dismounted and began to dig
with their hands. and presently they
brought up four fresh eggs from q
depth Of about foot under the warm
sand.
"Ostrich egg omelet we always found
a most welcome addition to our desert
bill OF fare and convenient and
portable provision. for from the thick
ness Of the shell the eggs keep per-
fectly sweet and fresh for fortnight
or three weeks"
