 Russian census gives some interesting
 facts and figures. It appears that the
 largest body of Non-conformists is the
 Staro- -obriadzi, or the Old Believers, who are divided into two chief groups,
 the Popoftzi and the Bezpopoftzi-that is to say, those whose spiritual affairs are directed by irregularly ordained clergy (popes), and those who reject the ministrations of clergymen. The PopoftZi are again subdivided into two sections, and the Bezpopoftzi into five subdivisions. Among the latter are the Beguni, whose extreme fanatics, some few years ago, created a sensation by burying alive fifteen of it's members at Tiraspol, near Odessa. There are really some nlty distinct Sectarian divisions all having their own particular creeds, customs, superstitions and codes of morals and differing in dogma from the original chief sects. They may be divided generally into two categories, Rationalists and Mystics. Among the former are the Dukhobortzi Ca great of whom are now settled in Canada), Molokani, Stundists, the fol- lowers or disciples of Tolstoy, the Zion ists and few others. Among the Mystics are the Skoptzi, or self-mutia-

AN AUSTRALIAN STATE FARM.

and Mixed Farming.
 Among the experimental farms estab- lished during the last few years by the New South Wales state government that known as the Wollongbar, in the northern coastal district, possesses several features of interest. It com prises an area of about 200 acres, the work of clearing being commenced as recently as 1893, thus showing the manner in which virgin land may be converted into soil fit for cultivation The farm according to a recent visitor occupies commanding position, giving views of the most delightful character over an immense stretch of country, across the farm-studded undulatng volcanic rises and valleys northward toward the Tweed river, westward up the Richmond river, past Lismore, in the direction of Casino; on the south toward the Clarence river and east ward right out to the Pacific ocean. An air of trimness characterizes the farm in all it's appointments, the ex- perimental test grounds alternating with the larger paddocks for stock keeping, dairying and general agricul- ture, in handy, well-fenced and good workman like form, while all the re- quired buildings have been put up on thoroughly practical lines. Further, they have been constructed economic ally by utilizing the labor of the students, and the timber ana other material on the ground, in such manner as may be followed by the set tiers of the district.
 The climate, both as regards rainfall and tempera ture, is an ideal one. and combined with the dark red volcanic soil, explains the remarkable fertility of crops successfully grown Plants, fruits and grasses peculiar to tropical or semi tropical localities, we are told. 'are here found growing side by side with those of the temperate climates, and both flourishins in an equal degree. At Wollonbar for example, banana groves are to be seen luxuriating with

At the Baptist church in Ottawa Kansas, last Sunday Rev.

Senator Deliver, of Iowa, the other day told of his visit to a little town in the western part of the State last fall. He found that an old friend of his who lived in the county was there in jail, having chosen to stay in a cell rather than pay a tax he considered unjust and illegal. Delivers friend wrote to the sheriff: Dear Sheriff; It will be a great favor if you will let me out of jail for two hours, so l can hear my friend Deliver make a speech The sheriff was a good fellow" said MT Deliver. "He wrote his consent on the back of the note, and then added these words, The remainder of your punishment is renitted.'"

CUBI EDS HfLP.

Officials of the War department who have been studying the figures of the receipts and expenditures of the Cuban government, covering a period of two years past, say that unless relief in the way of tariff concessions is granted the republic will reach a financial collapse inside of six months after independence is granted. The receipts of the gov ernment during 1900 were s17, ,3S5 905.3 .35 and the expenditures during the same period were $15, ,691, ,453 .06, leaving a sur plus of little more than s1,500,0 ,0O0 The receipts during 1901 were $17,154 939. .5S, while the expenditures were $17 ,644,- s94Si, d deficit of about s5G0,G00 Since June 30, 1901 which is the latest date for Which the statistics are complete, the falling off has been even more pro- nounced and by the time the govern ment is turned over to the Cubans next June there will be a large sized deficit awaiting the treasurer. With the with drawal Of the American officials from the island the CubanS will be called on to assume lot of expenses which are now borne by the American treasury. It is estimated that the expenses of the Cuban government will be increased forty per cent. by the withdrawal of the American officers, the appointment of natives in their stead and the estab- lishment of the numerous adiuncts of government that will be necessary.
 As it is evident that the Cubans can't stand a system of internal taxation it is evident that if they are not going to have some relief from the kind people who have adopted them they will have to bust"

At the close of tea in a house in the fashionable quarter of Philadelphia, says the Times, one of the guests could find no trace of the new sealskin coat which she had worn that afternoon for the first time. When each of the late departures had donned her wrap there was still left a sealskin coat that was decidedly the worse for wear. The host ess was profuse in her expressions of regret, and her friend was obliged to temporarily accept the old coat in place of the new one. She proceeded to her furrier the next day to enlist his help in securing traces of the stolen mantle. The case seemed hopeless until the fur rier suddenly exclaimed: T always sew the name of the customer on the inside of the lining of sealsllin coat before l send it out. Perhaps the man who made this one does the same" In a moment the lining was ripped open, and there, in the very place where he looked for it, was the name, written in indelible ink on a piece of tape of the lady who had given the tea!

4 A well-known publisher has been looking into the question of how long a life a book now enjoys, in comparison with the life it would have had some twenty years ago. He has come to the conclusion that, roughly speaking, a book has less than half the length of life it used to have. Thus in the old days a novel, if it was read by the pub lie at all, would go on being read for a year Now six months' career is al- most noteworthy and one of three months is not to be despised The same change applies to works on science and all the learned subjects, though not, of course, in SO marked degree. A work has hardly established itself to- day when another, rather more up-to- date, comes out and eclipses it.
