Economic Conditions Are Frishtful in
the Extreme.
e The bad economic conditions OF the
Russian peasantry may be shown by
the statistics Of farm animals, The
Russian novelist, Uspenski, once
wrote a story of peasant life, which
he called "A Quarter OF Horse" and
which was intended to set forth, In
the guise of fiction, the social and
economic status of an agricultural
population that had only one. horse to
every four families. Statistics CONF
piled by the zemstvos OF the central
provinces show that, even before the
agricultural crisis became as acute as
1t is now 20 to 80 per cent of the peas
ant farmers in the formerly rich PROV
inces of Chernigof. Voronezh, Poltara,
Saratof,A Kursk and Tambof did not
have even a single horse, while nearly
one-third of the entire population of
Voronezh had neither horse nor COW.
In the province of Riazan $4,000 peas.
ant propreitors out of $4,000 had no
horse and $1,000 had neither horse nor

The /. oranqX Tree.

The orange tree is regarded as q
prince among trees and the emblem Of
genius. A popularity of this tree Is
that it bears fruit and flower at the
same time; Its leaves are evergreen
and as 1t grows older 1t grows in
beauty and frritfulness, its blossom
filling tie air with its fragrance. It
is indeed a fit emblem Of marriage
promise and hopes. The orange tree
is considered typical Of love, because,
though its fruit is golden and its flavor
and scent delicious. its rind is bitter.
And as every one knows who has ex.
perienced it Cupid's dart causes pain.
The orange tree is emblematic of graft
tude as well as OF genius and love.

radiation Of sounding Bodies.

The so-called N-rays, the new form of
invisible light, discovered by Blondlot,
In France, Is found to be given of by
bodies under strain, as in compression
OF bending. Hence vibratory body,
such as a tuning fork or a bell, which is
undergoing rapid alternating strains, Is
q source Of the rays, which also emanate
from the vibrating air surrounding so
norous body. The rays are detected by
their property Of increasing the bril-
liancy Of phosphorescent substance.
When the revolving disk of siren is
made slightly phosphorescent, 1t is seen
to shine out more strongly every time
the instrument is sounded.--Success

Buttons on women,s Clothes.

Attention was drawn by DR.. James
Shaw at the Ambidextral Culture So
ciety to the singular fact that the
buttons Of feminine clothes are on the
wrong side-or, rather, since women
may maintain that It Is mems but
tons which are wrong, that mems but
tons are on the right side of the wear
err, and women's on the left. This pc
culiarity, DR.. Shaw ascribed. not to
feminine perversity, but to the fact
that those who set women's fashions
were supposed to have maids to dress
them, for whom this position was more
convenient. - London News.
