Music for Russian Workmen.

"The laboring man in Russia,
though in rougher surroundings than
found in other countries for the same
class, has undoubtedly compensations
which serve to make his life happier
than could be imagined under such
conditions" says a writer in Social
Service. One is love Of music, Gull
tivated and enlarged By the fine rem
dering Of the anthems and chants Of
the services of the churches. The
choral singing Of men and boys in
some Of the smaller hamlets is in
deed so rich and finished in style as
to be a constant source of wonder to
all travellers, Soothing and delightful
also is the delicious melody of the
church bells which render hourly
their music; and musical as we'll as
cheering even the tinkling of the bells
on the harness of the horses. No
whip is needed by the drivers who
urge their beautiful ponies only by
the exhilarating sound of national or
popular airs sung in their rich chant
ing tones

RUSSIAN VILLAGERS.
Not a Hair Left on Their Heads and
Faces,

A story comes here from the town
of Duboyo, in the southern part of
Russia, which shows how strong a
hold superstition still has on the low
er classes of the Russian people.
One morning an elderly man ap-
peared in the street of Duboyo with a
beardless face and a head shaver as
close as a billiard ball. The inhabit-
ants Of the town, which is scarcely
more than village, to their surprise
recognized in him the "Starosta" or
headman of the town.
A meeting of the Common Council
was Immediately called to consider
whether a headman without any
beard or hair could be allowed to
hold Office. The headman, Taras
Artasoff appeared before the meeting
and declared that the shaving of face
and head was a patriotic duty and
that in the night Abraham had ap-
peared to him and told him that hair
on the head was q covenant of orig
inal sin, and that if Russia desired
victory in the present war her sons
must sacrifice their hair, mustaches,
boards and eyebrows and even pull
out their eyelashes Each hairless
Russian meant death to a hundred
Japanese.
The council thereupon Immediately
decided to initiate the patriotic head
man; and the next day every man,
woman and child in the district was
absolutely hairless.
A few men who were too proud to
sacrifice their whiskers were expelled
from the town and all their property
con1scated by the counciI.-Cincin-

Educators Heart Is Kind

Anecdotes about President Eliot OF
Harvard abound this summer because
oil the attention to his personality
called out by the fact that this year
sees the completion of fifty years edu-
cational service by him at Harvard.
In Cambridge scores of stories cir
culate which illustrate his almost i'm
pulsive generosity. 1t is well known
that on one occasion student, sick
with contagious disease and Stunned
by those about him, was taken into
the presidents own house.
A raw sub-freshman from a country
village in Connecticut. on the evening
of his first day in Cambridge. found
himself in need of Latin grammar
to prepare for the next days exam
ination. Quite without friends at the
uni Eersity. he told his need to the
first man he met, and was biGden to
the strangers house.
There a long search unearthed
Latin grammar. but 1t proved to be OF
too old an edition to serve the pres
ent need. BY this time the strangers
perplexity and anxiety to get the book
The Ordway new era., 1904-10-14

exceeded the students own. and.
after some thought. he sent the young
man on with note to friend in a
neighboring street who might be like
ly to have the right edition.
II was weeks before the student
learned that the chance stranger
who had given an hour Of his time
and an even more precious measure
OF his sympathy to a lonely and trou-
bled studen; was the president of the
university. In a university that MIN
bers over 1000 the opportunity for
personal touch between student and
president is small: but there are
scores OF stories Of the enlistment Of
the presidents personal interest in
some students behalf.
There was young man who de-
sired to study botany, but had failed
TO satisfy some technical preliminary
requirement. The committee which
stood between the student and his
wish have vivid recollection of the
warmth of snner and the emphatic
gesture OF the president as he declar-
ed: IF that young man wants to study
botany he shall study it."-ontlools.
