The wOrId,s ereatest choIr.


Russia boasts Of the worlds great
est choir. 1t is the cathedral Of Alex
ander Nevski, in. st. Petersburg, and
is attached to a convent erected in
honor Of the patron saint Of Rus
STA. Its members are all monks chos-
en- from the bestyoices ip all the Rus
sian monasteries. When a fine sing
er appears among the novitiates he is
sent to the monasteries Of Alexander
Nevski, where he is trained as care
fully as an opera singer, and remains
there, doing nothing except assisting
at the music at mass in the morning
and yespers in the afternoon, until he
becomes aged, when he retires on a
pension. Some of the voices are
of marvellous strength and sweet-
ness, and tits said that some members
of the choir can shatter a thin glass
into fragments by singing into it,
so powerful are the vibrations of their
tones. The monks are all vegetari-
ans; they never eat meat. The rules
Of the church forbid them to shave,
and their hair is worn like 2 woman's.

The Cosmopolitan for September

It is risking something to ask the
public to place a piece of fiction
alongside of Poe's best work. The
editor of the Cosmopolitan ventures
this in the following note, which
appears in the September issue:
Zone does not often find a story
which seems to come in the CLASH
6cation of Edgar Allen Poe's best
work. Yet one might be tempted
to ask such a place for The Canon

lane contributes to The Cosmopoli.

Scientific Discovery.

Perhaps the most remarkable
scientific discovery made in a long
time-so far at least as its wonder
full possibilities are concerned-is
that of radium. Apparently this
substance has from the beginning
been giving off particles at the rate
of sixty to ninety thousand miles
per second, without dinunition Of
its own force-and will continue to
do so forever It supplies light
without heat. Array of this light
conducts electricity. It converts
ovygea into ozone and colors glass
permanently brown. These are
only a few of the properties of this
remarkable substance. In the

FarmYilIe Tobacco Market.

Receipts on the Farmville tobacco
market were light this week compared
with those Of last week, due princi-
pally to the extremely cold weather,
and muddy roads. However, a good
chance Of the weed was sold and
brought satisfactory prices. Prices
hold up better on this market than
on any other in the State. 1t is true
that a small drop is noticeable when
the market is glutted, but as a general
rule it is on common grades and not on
good tobacco.
Receipts for last week ending Deem
Der 9Th, amounted to 547 ,595 pounds,
which was perhaps the largest week
since the opening Of this years market.
The total number of pounds sold this
season is 1850 100. Last year at this
time there had scarcely been sold
100000 pounds, and about 10 per
cent Of that is said to have been water.
Very little fine tobacco has been sold
this season, and it is the opinion Of
many that the crop is not as good as
at first reported. This does not mean
that the farmers did not make good
tobacco this year, but that an improve
ment can be made in the next years
crop. 1t is reported that the farmer
is holding his good stock until after
Christmas, with a view Of getting bet
ter prices.
Now that the weather has turned
warm, it is expected the market will
be glutted every day next week.
Factories are working night and day
in order to get rid Of the stock they
have on hand and make room for more
More tobacco will be sold this year be-
fore Christmas than has been known
for many years.
