SACRED PICTURES IN RUSSIA. Peasants Carry Them Throuen the
 Streets to Invoke Blessings.

A picturesque ceremony Is per formed in times of public distress by the peasants of various parts of Rus sia, says the Syracuse Herald. They bring from the churches the sacred pictures which adorn the walls, or the silken banners which rest on the altars, and carry them in long process sion to the prayer booths which they have erected in appropriate places. If drought is running their harvests they build these votive booths near some river; if too much rain has fallen they build them in neighboring field; Ii pestilence has smitten their villages they build them in the burying ground.
 The moujiks of the village then gather about the church. With barred heads they wait while certain of their number enter and bring forth the sa- cred picture. This is often heavy, as in many instances 1t is framed in gold. But the peasants are not discouraged by its weight. They have made a rough frame in which they place the picture. Then the bearers grasp poles which are slipped through the frame, after the manner of palan- quin, and stagger with their sacred load over the rough road. The rest of the moujiks follow accompanied by their village priest, who leads in the prayers and chants. When the booth is reached the peasants kneel round the picture, supplicating for relief, and the priest sprinkles the field, river or burying ground with holy water After this service the picture is carried back to the church in the same solemn procession.

The Good Roads Convention.

Tke fact that a number of gov ernment and state officials who have practical knowledge of road build ing will be in attendance at the good roads convention to be held in Little Rock on the 21st and 22d of January, has aroused general in terest iE the movement throughout the state, County good roads con- ventions are being held over the state, and each will be represented at Little Rock by large delegations. The main object to be obtained is the putting on foot of some practi- cal plan to secure better roads. Arkansas is progressing in every way, and great improvement has been made in her highways in re- cent years, but yet the work is in its infancy. There is no other one thing that brings greater returns than good roads, and the interest manifested by the people at large in the forthcoming roads con- vention is assurance of the accom- plishment of much good.

No Pension for Corns.

A veteran of the Spanish war re- gently appealed to the secretary of the interior, claiming a pension on account of corns that he had con tracted by wearing army shoes. The department, after an exhaustive course of reasoning, comes to the con- clusion that corns are not pension able disability. The decision says. "Corns are inconvenient, but are seldom incapacitating, and when they are the remedy is simple and within easy reach of anyone. The soldiers patriotism ought not to ter minate with his military service. It should prompt him to go to a chiropodist rather than to the pen sion bureau"

THEIR FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
Young Couples Experience Lacked
 Something of Being Tragedy.

Something of Being a Tragedy.
 They had walked half way through the park at a smart pace, and she now sank on a shaded bench; he seated himself beside her. They were en- tirely alone, says Smart Set, save for an old man at one end of their seat, immersed in book Their agitated conversation continued.
 "Oh, it is too dreadfpl!" sfle shud- aered, covering her face with her hands, as if to shut out some unbear- able sight.
 ''Fearfulw he agreed, deeply moved and mopping the profuse per spration from his brow
 'Horribler she added. ''I cannot bear to think of it. The loss of hope, happiness, perhaps even life itself"
 ''Hush!" he interrupted, gently. 'Let us strive to think of it no more, or it may grow to prey upon our minds"
 Pardon me-" said the old man on the end of the bench, his watery eyes distendsd in lively apprehension; "has there been some awful disaster? Have you been forced to look upon some awful tragedy?'
 The young couple regarded each other in some confusion. Hesita.ing- ly the youth answered.:
 "No, sir. You see, We have just become engaged, and we were talking of what calamity it would have been had we never met"

Talking Through the Body.

To talk through a human body--or arrow of human bodies, for the matter of that-is one of the weirdest of the electricians ats.If a telephone wire be severed and the two ends be held by person, one in each hand, but far apart, it Is quite possible for two in dividuals to carry on conversation through the body of a medium as readily and distinctly as if the line had been properly connected.

Evidence of Prosperity.

As an evidence of the growth and prosperity of Arkansas, nothing bears greater weight than the re- port of the postmaster, W. S. Holt, of the Little Rock office. During the past six years the total receipts were just double the former figures. This is indeed gratifying and should be appreciated by every citizen of the state.
