East DAYS In Russia.

Fast days in Russia are numerous.
Besides the ordinary Lenten period,
hic owever in Russia is forty
eight days long instead of forty. they
have three shorter periods of fasting
n of nineteen days in June. II of
fourteen days in August, and another
Of thirty-three days in November ard
December. There are also three single
days of fasting, of which two are also
holidays.
Fasting is a serious matter in Russia,
for fish, milk and eggs are forbidden
as we'll as meats. The result is hat the
markets for such products are largely
cut off for about one-third of the year
and dairy farming ecomes unprOft-
able, as strict observance of fasts is 4
weightier matter with the people than
honesty or N other feature of our
system of morals.

head of the house while at dinner to
invoke the divine blessing. Il was

relating the incident. "Then ] rose to
the occasion and asked a grace which
I remembered" But. Mr.. Stedman,"

eagerly, Ito what were you sorely
tempted" ITO do as Charles Lamb
did under similar circumstances" And
that was?" HE looked about the board

his head. Then Lamb prayed, For this

truly thankful"

A Coin In the Sea.

A coin dropped into the sea will sink
to the bottom, however deep it is, owing
to the fact that the meta is heavie
than the volume of water that it dis
places
1t is a common but mistaken notion
that the density of the sea increases
with its depth and consequent pressure.
as does the density of the atmosphere.
which we all know is greatest at the
earth's surface. The air, however, like
all gases, is elastic, and, when under
pressure (as with its own weight,
shrinks in volume and gains in density.
Water. on the other hand, is abso-
lutely incompressible, and, although the
pressure in the sea increases at the
rate of about one pound for every two
feet we descend, the density of the wa
ter remains the same; consequently the
penny continues to outweigh the water
it displaces and the coin sinks until 1t
finds a solid resting place. The pres
sure of the water has no influence at
all on the coin, acting as it does on all
sides equally.

There Was = Time when It WAS an
Unmentionable Article.

There Was . Time when 1t was an
Unmentfonable Article.
The evolution of the pocket handker-
chief is odd and interesting. There was
a time when it was an unmentionable
thing. says Modern Society of London
IAN article to be kept out of sight and
referred to only in a whisper. In po-
lite conversation it was carefully avoid
ed, and as to ones being caught using
a handkerchief it meant social ostra-
eism.
This state of things obtained up to
the time of the FIRST Napoleon. when the
Empress Josephine brought it forward
for a personal reason. The only defect
I'm her beauty was an irregularity of
the teeth, and to hide this she used q
delicate little handkerchief, which from
time to time she raised to her lips
Thus she was enabled to laugh occa-
sionally. Seeing that it was d case of
either laughter going out or handker-
chiefs coming into fashion, the court
ladies adopted the pretty pieces of cam
brio and lace.
In England the evolution of the arti-
Gle which is now so openly displayed
by women was equally slow. There
was a time when it was forbidden to
mention it on the stage or to make use
of it even in the most fearful situation.
while the people in the gallery and the
pit shed their tears into their laps.
Even when it was mentioned for the
first time in one of Shakespeare's plays
it was received with misses and general
Indignation by the audience. Little by
little. however, the prejudice gave way.
and a time came wnen he handker-
chief could be fiourished in broad day
light.
