Russia's Great Church.

The chief procurator of Russia in late re-
port to the Car on the state of Russian religion
brings out the fact that the power and wealth of
the Greek church is immense. There are $3.50
of these churches in the empire. During the past
year S33 new places of worship were consecrated
In connection with these churches there are 49,
65S monks, 36,146 nuns. There are 1850 head
priests, and 1918 ordinary priests. These, to-
gether with $3.50 deacons, make a grand total
along with seven other divisions (the figures Of
which are not exactly given, of 10000 persons in
an official position. A sum of nearly $3O,O0O,OO0
was paid by the Russian people last year for the
support of this vast force. Nevertheless the Of
fetal goes on to say that family worship is rapidly
disappearing, and even grace at meals is rarely
heard. Drunkenness and immortality are greatly
on the increase, and the clergy, especially in the
smaller places, seem unable to cope with these
evils

page. After an hour of earnest effort. however.
she felt sure she had mastered them all but the
last of which she still little uncertain In
the book, and when her stubby forefnger was glued
to the page just beneath this refractory syllable
the letters obediently assumed the order of BED
But minute after, finger in mouth and eyes on
ceiling, they sometimes seemed to be E-D-B, DEB
and various other perplexing combinations. 1t hap
pened that Winifreds associates kept their places
during recitation, and somehow the class was
called and in full blast while the newest and lit
test girl in the school was still struggling. with
the difficult word.
''Winifred," suddenly called the teacher, "how
do you spell 'bed'E
'eWhy, Miss Emily" returned the small scholar,
chats just 'zactly what | wanted to know" And
she couldn't imagine why all the little girls about
her laughed and the teacher bit her lip and gave
the word to some else

Tear Nieces and Nephews: Aunt Bus- is anx-
;ously waiting TO hear from her young friends
about her proposed club. Do not forget that Aunt
Busv will give prize for the most appropriate

Salt Lake Herald. Aunt Busy expects to hear

friends. name the club, and all put in the pennies
at the same time!
Aunt Busy will organize one this very mo,
ment. She will name it the st. Lawrence CLUB, ana
will start by giving it ) cents.

Redheaded Bows and Girls.

English scientists have been collecting statistics
regarding the intelligence of school children
Among the interesting results of their observa-
lions are facts which show relation between color
of the skin and hair and mental proficiency They
say that the auburn haired boys are generally at
the head of their recitation classes and that blonde
girls are the best at learning.
The auburn and blonde girls come out best in
arithmetic, but are not good at composition Dark
haired children of both sexes seem to have bet
ter imaginative qualities than the fair ones and
have much better style in composition. The dark
boys behave better than the fair and are more SEN
sitive to praise or blame
