Russia's Awakening.

In Russia 1t is the government only that sleeps. The people are awake and astir, says the author of Greater Russia" They are making new de- mands and feeling new freedom which is apparent every day in the absence of the former rigid repres- sion, and in the frequent indulgence in license that is mlscaled liberty.
 One will sometimes see on the pal. ace quay at St. Petersburg a line of people waiting for the steamer to take them to the islands. Along comes some high official who, instead of awaiting his turn, drives to the head of the line and crowds in ahead of the others. Formerly such an occur renee would have been received in silence as a matter of course, but now the people hiss and denounce the off cial and police do not interfere.
 If street car is delayed for con- nection at some transfer station, the passengers often become riotous and demand their fare back, or begin to pound on the floor and even break windows until the police make the driver go ahead without waiting for tLe other car; and he is not allowed to stop again until he reaches his destination.
 If an officer remonstrates with a street car conductor for lack of cour- tesy to a passenger the crowd will at once interfere, and even the offended passenger turns on him. The officer is told to give, his orders to soldiers who have to obey, not to free men who do not, and not to interfere be- tween men who are as good as he is.
 These are triaing things in them selves, says the traveller, but to one who has long known Russia they are startling signs of new spirit of freedom.

Surgery in High Favor.

Not so many years ago surgical 0per ations were generally regarded by the public as means of last resort, and were submitted to only when the pa tient or his family was advised that no other escape was open for the suf- ferer. Frequently the sick man was in extremes when he went under the sur. geon's knife, and 1t is asserted by med ical men that the large mortality in a given number of operations was due to this fact. In this way the popular fear of going through these ordeals was increased, the surgeons generally being held responsible for the fatal outcome.
 To-day there is less fear of the knife, and statistics show that the mortality is far less. This is attributed by the profession to the advanced views now held and what may be termed the greater popularity of surgery. Of course, a most potent contribution to this condition of affairs is the more ex- tensive knowledge possessed by the modern surgeon and his greater skill. But there is another source from which help comes; that is, that cases requir. ing the services of surgeons are not de- layed until the last minute, when the patients are so exhausted or they can. not stand the shock they must neces. sarily sustain.
 To-day it is appreciated by all stu dents of the ills to which flesh is heir that if the knife is to be used the soon. CT it is done the better; just as every body knows that if disease is to be checked the sooner medicine is admin istered the better. And to this view of the matter the doctor and the surgeon have gradually educated the people. This accounts for the popularity of sur gery and for the material diminishing of the death rate of persons passing under the knife-Baltimore Herald

The Invention of Cards.

It is generally believed that cards were invented for the amusement of the early kings of the line of Bour- bon, but this belief is erroneous though who the man was who invent ed these instruments of amusement is not known, neither can we tell in what age they were invented. Our knowledge is limited to the country whence they came, viz, Egypt. The colors are two, red and black. which answer to the two equinoxes. The suits are four, answering to the four seasons; their emblems formerly were and still are in Spain, for the heart, cup, the emblem of winter; the spade, an acorn, the emblem of au- tumn; the club, trefoil, the emblem of summer; the diamond, rose, the resemblance of spring. The twelve court cards answer to the twelve months, and were formerly depicted as the signs of the zodiac. The fifty two cards answer to the number of weeks in the year; the thirteen cards in each suit to the number of weeks In . lunar quarter.

Father" said Jimmie, one even ing, when they had the porch to them selves, "can you keep your third finger straight out while you clinch the other fingers on that hand" Jimmies father smiled-not too knowingly. Jimmie had been camp ing out with his Uncle Jack and the boys. But he tried it. With his left hand first, for he was just little proud of doing things with that hand. He often said that if he had not been forcibly discouraged in infancy he could have become ambideXtrous. It had been perfectly natural to handle his spoon with his left hand, but his mother would not have it.

 "Now," repeated Jimmie, put the egg lengthwise between your two hands and try to crush it."
 The egg, still intact, was soon in Jimmie's pocket, and the towel was over his fathers eyes. He took out his watch. "Now," he said, keep perfectly still for five minutes"
 That's easy" said his father.
 "You moved your lips" said Jim mic, unwinding the towel and pass ing his father a match.
 Put the match across the nail of your second finger. Now break it," commanded Jimmie, with the first and third fingers of the same hand"
 When the match, unbroken, had joined the egg, Jimmie told his father to sit squarely in his chair. "Not on the edge" said Jimmie. "Now get up, daddy, without bending forward or putting your feet under your chair.
 "Now-" began Jimmie. But his father saw Jimmie's mother coming, and hastened to correct too nasty impression of insanity on his part by reaching for his newspaper. When he had secured it he turned again to Jimmie and said, "Tell me, can you do those things?"
 "You can't catch me on any of them," replied Jimmie, evasively.- Youths Companion.
