Russia is pre- enlinently the land of

old eagle slip quietly from her eggs

Another Revival of Art, II Is Claim
ed, liz Needed.
In order to reform our present stereo-
typed methods of art we want a sec
ond renaissance. For long years we
have done nothing but turn out from
our colleges young men stuffed with
useless scientific lumber, and they very
quickly lose 1t all, and there is nothing
to take Its place. This is not to be Won
dered Mt when throughout Europe
there is such II neglect of art IN our ed
ucation. 1t may be replied to me that
the inventions of science compensate
for the deficiency, but these inventions
are almost exclusively If not quite a
mere increase In the power of the bod
lily senses and faculties-the telegraph
In that of the tongue. the telephone In
that of the car, the railway in that of
the legs the Photographic science in
TINT Of the eye-and these inventions
leave in ignorance the more intellectual
part of the Individual. Your portrait
can be taken, your voice boxed up-thls
Is eXtraordinnry-but the soul which
commands, the god which is in the
head. Is forgotten
And yet the means for altering this
state of things is near at hand, is be-
meath our eyes. We have still the same
nature that inspired those anonymous
sculptors to give us the Gothic; we still
have n sufficient number of Gothic
masterpieces intact-so many epitomes
Of nature, as have said-to show
what can be done by the man who
starts with his vision open to her
teaching.-Auguste Rodin in North
American Review.

bert was killed by Il cannon ball. A
moment or two after my right hand
man had his head taken clean Off by a
round shot. His trunk kept upright on
the horse for several yards and then
fell over near me. Men and horses now
began to fall very fast, and we galloped
ms hard as ever we could.
We got among the guns mt last, and
II 1t was proud moment for us the
feeling was short lived. We fully ex-
pected to be supported, but when the
smoke cleared we discovered that what
we took for British troops were In re-
atty Russlap cavalry. They came for
us In perfect cloud, and we faced
about and rushed right into them.
There was an awful clash Of swords,
and almost before we could realize it
we had cut right through them. This
opened a passage for the remainder OF
the brigade and was the only real bit
of fighting we had. The other was only
slaughter.

prisoner brought face to face with her
Judges and accuscrs and who now sat
alone apart, her hands clasped togeth-
er in her lap, her proud head bent and
her blue eyes dull and heavy, their
glance not lifted from the floor.
The chief councillor sat on q bench
surrounded by the council, and back of
them, seated OH wooden stools, were
the witnesses and accusers. Josiah
Taunston, summoned to serve in both
capacities, sat with his mother in a
place Of prominence and received
large share of comment and curious at
tention. Seated just before him In the
council was one of the visiting judges
from Sterndorf, who, after surveying
Margaret's youth and beauty with as
constituent, turned to Josiah, saying
softly:
BY my faith, good SIR the maid Is
possessed Of wondrous beauty and
looks not like one that had sold her
soul to the devil"
Josiah's grim face darkened.
Hist. man! Look not her way, an
put thy thoughts on holy things. To
appear winsome Is of her evil art; it's
one of the first tricks she doth use to
put folk under her SPELL IT'S well

The man turned about with fright
ened expression and, fixing his glance
on the audience, kept it there.
Soon the chief councillor, in large
curled wig and loose gown of black,
rose to his feet.
Margaret Maryland, rise"
The prisoner, without lifting her
eyes, obeyed his command

speaking with stern distinctncss, sin

taken into custody and now brought to

nivance with Satan in rebellion against
God, possessing n malevolent influence
over human beings and supernatural
powers to injure them, to read their
thoughts, to fascinate and harm by n
look, to control the elements and in
other ways most wicked to practice
the awful crimes of magic, black art
and witchcraft. Thine accusers state"
he continued, that already thou hast
wrought much suffering to thy neigh
bors in this village. Woman, hath
augllt to say in thy defense?
For the first time Margaret lifted
her eyes. Good sir, Of the charges
thou dost name ! am not guilty." she
answered gently.
Hast thou secured any one to ar
que in thy defense, to plead for thee?"
he demanded.
NAY, sir"
Her head fell forward, and she
clasped her hands together tightly.
IL have no friends heteabout,
save one old woman, who can do
naught but cry for me-"
Thou mayst be seated"
A murmur Of deep interest ran
through the assemblage as the old
councillor said: "Councilmen, we will
proceed with the trial. Let the first
witness be called"
He resumed his seat with solemn
dignity, While the court crier, bris.
ting with Importance, rose ut once
calling dramatically. "Josiah Taun-

THE EGG IN HISTORY.


Legends and Beliefs.
Like many another term In Chris
ian nomenclature, the word Easter
derived from pagan sources. The
s''iXon goddess of light, Estra, was
heaorcd with an annual festival ut the
vornal equinox. The Jewish Passover
was also regulated by the March moon,
and the resurrection Of Jesus occurred
at this season. In later centuries the
great Christian festival came to bear
the pagan name Easter and to be cele-
Jewish feast
Since remotest times the egg has
symbolized recreation. Persian tradi-
ton has 1t that the world was Matched
from an egg at the season which cor
responds to the vernal equinox, for
which reason eggs are still given for
New Years presents by the Persians
The druids said that the sun, great
egg, Matched from itself the earth and
other planets.
By the Chinese it Is believed that the
world was formed Of two parts Of a
great egg. From the yolk man came
forth. He then waved his hand, and
the upper half of the shell went up
ward and became the concave heavens:
the lower half reversed, making the
convex earth, and the white albumen
became the seas.
When Christianity took over various
of the Saxon rites the Paschal eggs of
the Jews We're vested with new Sig
nlficance-namely, the resurrection Of
Christ. They were colored red In mem

This Is che of many quaint cere-
monies that take place ut the Church
of st. Gildas, in Brittany, on the feast
day of the patron saint Two or three
thousand peasonts on horseback ride
IN procession three times round the
church and then proceed to draw water
from the sacred well close by and
pour 1t over their animals in the be-
lief that 1t will act as sure preventive
of accidents and disease
Meanwhile the women inside the
church are engaged In standing In n
stone sarcophagns supposed to have
contained the body Of the saint. This
Is looked upon as n certain cure for
tootllache. But the most important of
all the ceremonies is the throwing of
Il fowl from the tower of the church
to the people below. 1t is torn to pieces
in an instant. and the man who is for
tunate enough to secure the head Is
looked upon MS champion, while his
parish is regarded as sure to secure
the best harvest.

Climate and PoItttc.

The climate of Australia is the chief
factor in fashioning Australian poll
ties. Ii 1t is advanced 1t is because
the sun there has forced IN early de-
velopment. Girls here reach maturity
two or three years earlier than In
America. and countries count by gen
erations. Meanwhile perpetual sum
mer and continual sunlight ure sapping
Individual energies. Even the Ameri-
can who comes here soon finds that
sustained hustling is n physical impos-
sibility. Let him spend three or four
years in the country, and he will cease
to wonder at the laws for an eight hour
day and tie early closing of shops.
The winter is only another summer
cooler, 1t is true, but not cold enough to
be invigorating.-Bur Graham in

In Four Compartments 1t CARRIE.
Water to Last u Journey,


Water to Last u Journey
The stomach of camel is divided
Into no less than four compartments,
and the walls Of one of these are
lined with large cells, every one of
which can be opened and closed at
Will by means of powerful muscles.
Now, when camel drinks it drinks
very great deal Indeed it goes
drinking on for such very long time
that really you would think that 1t
never meant to leave Off. But the fact
Is that 1t is not only satisfying its
thirst, but is filling up It's cistern as
well. One after another the cells In
its stomach are filled with water and
as soon as each is quite full It is tight
~ closed. Then when the animal be-
comes thirsty few hours later all
that 1t has to do Is to open one of the
cells and allow the water to flow out.
Next day it opens one or two more
cells. and so it goes on day after day
until the whole supply is exhausted
In this curious way camel can live
five or even six days without drinking
ut all and SO is able to travel quite
easily through the desert, where the
wells are often hundreds Of miles
apart
