Moving a Church.

y singular piece of work has
lately been carried out in Russia
At the village of KOtchausk, near
NovgOrOd. stood Il full-sized
church which was pronounced TO
be in an unsafe condition and was
TO be pulled down But the build.
ing contained many souvenirs Of
the famous Marshal SOuvOrst, and
his old regiment, which is sta
toned at st. Petersburg, decided
to purchase it. Money being no OBJ
ject, the whole church was care
fully taken down, each piece being
numbered, and loaded into $50
wagons. 1t was then transported
40 the capital, and there has been
regretted with such care that ii is
as good as new and may last for
centuries.

A Curious Faculty.

The association of cOlOrs with
sounds, or "cOlOr-hearing," is be-
lieyed to be a faculty of one
healthy person in every ten. This
and other mixing of sensations oc
ours i'll certain abnormal c0ndi-
lions, and the peculiar state of
mind giving rise to ii is now studied
under the name of "synesthesia."
In a remarkable case reported by
DR.. Alfred Ulrich, of Zurich, the
senses seem to have all been in
vOlved at once. A boy of nervous
temperament, who developed cpl
lepsy in his thirteenth year, had
always heard cOlOred sounds. diff
ferent sounds Of the voice and the
cries of animals having each its
characteristic color. The sounds
of the vOwels gave especial vivid
cOlOrs, \ being light green, + vel
low, ! black, o red, L dark green
and Y white. Some sounds gave
also sensations of taste, of tenn
perature and of form. Sensations
of form were associated with color
and sound; smells had colOrs
tastes had colOrs, and colOrs had
taste and temperature. Cold was
green and heat was red.

RRITIsH WEIGHT STANDARD.
One Change Now Authorized Which
MAY Lead to Others.

e~-J N~~NN ~ O~AANA =
The British government has
taken a step which slightly sim.
plifies the system of weights and
measures now in vogue in the
United Kingdom. For a long time
the phrase "hundredweightr has
meant lip pounds, and "half u
hundred" SO pounds. Hereafter.
according to the New York Trib-
une, il will be legal to use 90
pound weight. The American
consul at Liverpool declares that
that city has felt the necessity for
the change more than any other
place, as this is the leading port of
entry for American and colonial
produce of bulk, the weighing Of
which is a considerable item in
the handling, and, indeed, in the
ultimate cost of the shipments.
More cotton, corn, provisions and
tobacco are imported into Liver
pool than any other city in the
world, and by far the largest pro
portions of these imports come
from the United States; so that
the United States is peculiarly in.
terested in the reform just insti.
tuted.
Americans have great difficulty |
in understanding the English syS-
tenn of weights-aImOSt as much |
as they encounter in trying to un
derstand the English fractional
system of coinage. For instance,
if you ask a man here how much
he weighs, he will tell YOU, say,
al stone T." A "stOne" is IA
pounds; so II stone would be 154
pounds, and adding the extra sew
EN- pounds the weight given would
be 16l pounds. Even Englishmen
''tO the manner born" have to
make mental calculation in arriv-
ing at the result in pounds in such !
a case.
Sometimes provisions and 9TH I
az articles are sold at SO much "a
stone, and then if the quantity
weighs Il few odd
pounds over Il stone or Il number /
Of stones the purchaser and seller
ave to figure out the price per
pound. 1t is the hope and eXpec~
alton that the results from the
IdOptiOn Of the new standard of
weight of 30 pounds will be so sat
sfactOry that before long the old
fashioned ''hundredweight" of Fl2
pounds will be entirely abolished
long with the stone, and that IA
ecimal fraction system of five
pounds, ten pounds and twenty
i've pounds will come into general
se.
Whether this reform will re-
ard or promote the adoption of
he metric system by England
low the only important Eu
'Opean country that has not in
reduced it's difficult question
10 answer. Owing to the mental
inertia Of the people, it may not
be- thought best to follow one
change quickly with another.
Still, the kilOgram is So nearly
'qual to two pounds. and the met
rio ton differs so little from the '
''lOng" ton, that their adoption
would cause little Inconvenience
confusion. Moreover. by acrus-
tOming Wholesale and retail buy.

MONUMENTS on SHAME.

hounds Erected 60 Men who Were
Liars While on Earth.
While other nations build monuments
to the memory of men who have done
great and noble deeds, the Dyaks heap
up a pile of the branches Of trees in
memory OF the man who has uttered
a great lie, so that future generations
may know Of his wickGaness and take
warning from II.
The persons deceived start the tu-
gong bula by heaping up a large num-
her OF branches i'm some conspicuous
spot by the side of the main road. Ev-
cry passerby contributes TO II and at
the same time curses the man In mem
ory Of whom it is.
The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass n sa-
cred duty, the omission of which will
meet with supernatural punishment,
and so, however pressed for time a
Dyak may be, he stops TO throw on the
| pile some branches or twigs.
This custom dates from very ancient
times. 1t is interesting TO notice that
though the ethics Of the Dyaks, even at
the present day, do not agree in many
points with the moral code of other
and more advanced races still from
the earliest ages tla Dyaks seem to
have agreed in considering a lie most
disgraceful crime and liar a man
who deserves the curses not only of his
own generation. but also of people yet
unborn.
A few small branches, few dry
! twigs and leaves-that is what the tu-
gong bula is at firsJ. But day by day
it Increases in size Every passerby
adds something TO it. and in few
years time it becomes large and i'm
posing monument raised 10 the mem
Ory of one who was liar.
II has often been remarked by DyaSs
that any other punishment would, il a
man had his choice, be much preferred
TO having a tugong bula put up in his
memory. other punishments are soon
forgotten. but a tugong bula remains
as a testimony TO a mans untruthful-
ness for succeeding generations to wit
ness and is a standing disgrace to his
chlldren's children.
Believing. as the Dyaks do, in the
efficacy of curses-a curse among them
being a fineable offense-it is easy to
understand how Dyak would dread
the accumulation Of curses which
would necessarily accompany the for
nation Of a tugong bula.-Suaits Set
