SQuirPels in Winter.

Gray squirrels do not hibernate, but
seldom leave their nests during the
very cold weather. On mild days in
winter, however, they come out and
race through the tree-tops and visit
the large stores of nuts which they
gathered and hid away in the autumn.
Red squirrels are smaller. but much
harder, creatures than the gray ones,
and although they, too, have snug
nests of cedar-bark in the hollow trees,
they use them only at night, for no
weather is SO severe as to keep these
little fellows indoors. They are about
the most provident of all the creatures
in the woods, usually storing away
under brush-heaps, beneath fallen logs
and in hollow trunks far more nuts
than they can possibly eat in one
winter. They do not put them all
in one place, as rule; they generally
have several boards at some little
distance apart. This is wise pre-
caution, as it sometimes happens that
one store is discovered and stolen by
an enemy, and unless there was an
other supply to fall back upon the
squirrels might die of starvation

seated themselves alone at one end
of the porch, do you suppose it is
that educated women do not marry?"
'But educated women domarry," she
replied. Il know of three or four edu-
Gated women who have married within
the past month or two"
ooh, yes, Of course, some of them
marry. But why do SO many of them
remain single?'
perhaps it is because the educated
woman's horizon is broader than that
of the uneducated; because she de-
mands more"
Then it is not because she looks
upon marriage itself as bad thing?'
ooh, dear, no."

curious Ceremony BY Russian Pilgrim
in the Holy Land.

curious Ceremony BY Russian Pilgrima
in the Holy Land.
The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that of the Russian pill
grims at their annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the river Jor-
dan. A week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slay peasants are seen
trudging along the Jericho road with
every imaginable kind of haversack
and carry-all on their backs. Some
Of the pilgrims are old and weather.
worn, others young and cheerful, while
a few, overcome by sleep and fatigue,
are lying prone along the roadside. But
somehow the whole lot, young and old,
manage to reach the banks of the riv-
er in good time for the ceremony.
They spend the night, perhaps, in
the Russian hospice at Jericho, where
they simply huddle together like flock
of sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank where Greek priests,
who will presently drive a most lucra-
tive trade, await them. The princi-
pal articles sold are branches Of trees
from various sacred spots, stones from
the Mountain of Temptation hard by,
plants from the wilderness and rosa
ries with olive stones for beads. To
whatever religious value is claimed for
these articles the Russian peasants in
plicitly give credence, and they will
ingly pay their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the motley crowd
is occupied in prayer and silent de-
votiOn. To many pilgrims this occa-
sion is one of the greatest life can
bring, namely, to be permitted not
only to visit the Jordan, but actually
to battle in its sacred waters. Sudden
ly chanting is heard, and the crowd
quickly opens to let a procession of
purple-clad ecclcsiastics pass to the
waters, then the pilgrims close in
again, and station themselves along
the banks, eager and watchful. And
now, quite reverently, a jeweled cross
is laid by the patriarch on the surface
Of the stream to bless it, and no sooner
does the sacred symbol touch the wa
ter than dive is made into it by the
enthusiastic crowd, which splashes
and sprays and dips-altogether a
strange scene. Such is the baptism,
and the longer it lasts the greater the
merit the pilgrim will enjoy.
All dripping with water each shroud
is now wrung out and slowed away
to serve as the cerecloth when the pill
grimage Of life is over and the body is
ready for the grave. AS the traveller
rides away the next day to Jerusa-
lem he will see these childlike peas
ants, bedraggled with mud, and ia
tigued by constant. sleeplessness, plod-
ding along toward the holy city, chant
ing and singing as they go, and lean
ing on their sticks of reed. But there
is now smile on their faces, and JOY
in their hearts, for have they not
bathed in the waters of Jordan?-Lon-

NEW IDEA FCH EXPRESS TRAINS,
Makes No Steps, But Drops Pasasn-
GERS OFF at Stations.

A model of . new device was re-
Gently shown before the members of
the British Association, by means OF
which 1t is possible to put passengers
of at any station along a railroad
without stopping the train.
The model showed a circular track.
The last carriage on the train was
slipped as each station was passed,
and passengers wishing to alight at
the next station would proceed to the
last carriage. the train being OF course
continuous on the American plan, SO
that access could be had right
through. Then the slipped carriage
had deposited It's passengers and TAX
en- up fresh lead, it would be started
and the Eext train would be allowed
gradually to catch 1t up. 1t would
then form part Of the new train until,
having passed a sufficient number of
stations, 1t came to be the last car
rage again, when it would be once
moro slipped. or course the cars
would be electrically driven, and the
author exhibited model showing
how by an electrical device it could
be shown in the separate car and in
the oyertaking train how far the two
were apart.
