Russian Weidinna.

In no country In the world, says the
author of "Wooings and Weddings In
Many Climes," is the tie between
brother and sister closer than it is in
Russia. The brother Is regarded as
her guardian equally with the father
and as her protector even more.
In many districts when the groom
comes to claim his bride her brother
places himself beside her and with
stout stave or a drawn sword pre-
vents the groom's approach. The
twain often engage in much poetical
barter, In which the bride incltes her
brother to extort a goodly price for
herself, her veil and her beauty.
Upon the wedding day the groom
comes to her parents house and claims
his bride. Then there is a touching
little bit Of ceremony, one of those
pretty human comedies which are
called "empty shows and FORMS" but
are written in warm, tender emotions.
The maiden kneels before her par
ents and asks them to pardon her for
any and every offense toward them OF
which she may ever have been guilty.
They lift her up and kiss her; then
they together offer her bread and salt,
which signifies that while they live
they will not see her lack the neces-
saries of life.
When she leaves the house Its door
is left open to signify that she may re.
turn when she will; that her girlhood's
home is still hers.

What Makes a Gentleman.

Archbishop Temple, the recently de
ceased primate Of the established
church of England, and a man Of the
highest character, gave short time
before his death the following outline
of what he considered really gentle
manly conduct:
"The man who Is thoroughly unsel-
fish In all small things he Is the man
In regard Of whom 1t is quite impos-
sible for you not to feel, that man Is
gentleman. Let his rank In society
be what 1t may, let him be ignorant Of
the ordinary convcntionallties Of so
clal intercourse, still, II the man be
truly self-sacrifcing, IL In his ordinary
relations with his fellows there is true
and genuine unselHshness, 1t Is impos-
slble for any man who has much to do
with him not to feel That man Is a
gentleman l don't care whether he
Is learned or not, whether he Is edu-
Gated or not; l don't care how ig-
norant he may be or how low he may
stand; l don't care II he be ever. so
poor; the man who constantly shows
that he is giving himself up for the
sake Of other people, that man is at
heart and In reality one of natures
gentlemen, and this is the way In
which he shows It."

He was In personal appearance very

Leaving Sir Reginald to his wild ride
on that lovely May morning, we will go
back a day or two In our story, and again
seek DIR. Elfenstein, In many Of his
visits, which were all professional, he
had, by dropping some leading word,
striven to discover the public mind In
regard to the murder committed In their
midst twenty-five years before.
To his surprise, he met everywhere q
decided reluctance TO talk upon the sub
ject, as the law had acquitted the only
one suspected, but the gloomy looks and
wise shakes Of the head he so often met
told him we'll that the younger brother
Fltxroy was still held guilty In the Opin-
Ions Of the general mass Of the inhab-
itants.
Sorry to see that his friend was still

This permission was easily gained, and

boy Of fourteen, volunteered to ride with

there is nothing whatever tending to any
extent to show that he received any such
bounty or gratuity, or that any such was

is that he did not receive any bounty or

National Government. The claimant has
