IN RUSSIA CENTURIES AGO

Giles Fletcher, an English traveller,
saw Moscow fired by an army of Tar
tars in 1871. in the absence of Gar
Ivan the Terrible. He writes: There
was nothing but whirlwinds and such
noise as though the heavens would
have fallen" According to Fletcher,
numerous persons were burned to
death, while crowds struggling to
escape from the flames met and the
ensuing crush resulted in thousands Of
fatalities.
He asserts that there perished at
that time by the fire and the press the
number of 100000 or more" This
estimate, of course. was excessive As
a means of getting rid of the dead
bodies. says Fletcher, the Car Ivan
ordered them on his return to be
thrown into the Moskva, and the
corpses damned the deep and rapid
river and caused it to overflow its
banks.

whenever he would tell folks where
he was raised they would ask him

1t irked the young man to find that

"I will hustle around and make my

Then the society got to work and

Did the society locate it at Blink

No; for nobody at Blink Center

Wanted Merry Men in Camp.

DR.. William Henry Drummond. the
poet Of the French Canadians, has
given up his medical practice and
gone into copper mining in the DOM
inion. Part Of his duty recently was
to engage a number of workmen. In
doing SO he astonished everybody by
radical departure from old-time
methods. After asking some more or
less perfunctory questions regarding
a candidates ability as miner he
inquired: Can you play the fiddle
or concertina? Do you dance or sing?"
1t was noticed that unless the man
could give Affirmative reply to at least
two Of these questions he stood small
chance of getting work. The wisdom
of DR.. Drummond's course became
apparent when 1t developed that near
ly all the men he engaged were good
humored fellows whose happy spirits
kept the mining camp in peace.

One who travelled through Russia In
1893 wrote in Latin an interesting ac-
count of what he saw. These were
afterward translated into English, in
part as follows: THE Muscovites are
generally of very strong Constitu-
ton, both very tall and bulky. Above
one-half of the Year is taken up with
their Fasts, when the common people
feed upon nothing else but Cabbage
and Cucumbers, and these, raw, only
picked" The writer. Henry William
Ludolph, has leanings toward vege-
tarianism, for he added: This is an
evident sign of their natural vigour,
though it must also be allowed that
they promote the digestion by the
Brandy and Leeks which they use in
large quantities, and questionless cor
rect the viscous Humours arising in
the Stomach by such indigestible
Nourishments."

them have voluntarily subjected them

men have been stationed in Europe
to watch the evolution of their art

army is largely officered by young
