COUNTRY DRIVE IN RUSSIA.

Speed Proportion te 10 Price Paid
Through Village Roads.
TIE Russian popular idea of driving
horses is to fog them along mile after
mile without moments breathing
space. TIE sreed IL rroportionate,
within limits, to, tire price paid, but
the horses are never at any speed
allowed to slacken.
The high road to Ruza runs in Sc
ries of ups and downs like an endless
witcbback," yet the "jamshik"
(driver) never , once ., allowed his
horses to rush the last Of declivity
to carry them up the next rise, but
kept the pace steady up hill or dosn.
a regular rate of one verst in FIVE min
utes. We insisted several times on
giving the poor brutes few yards at
a walk, but at last had to acquiesce in
the custom of the country, with the
result that at Ruza it seemed better
to take another team for the remain
ing four miles across country.
The way now lay over what are
called through village" roads. These
are simply a tract of Mother Earth
bounded on one, sometimes on both,
sides by rough ditch, and only 9TH
erwise differentiated from the sur
rounding arabic land by the surface
being cut up by wheels instead OF
plows-and the Russian plow hardly
cuts a deerer furrow in the fields than
wheeled traffic on such road"
In order properly to understand
some Of the conditions Of rural life
in Russia 1t Is necessary to travel In
the simplest manner of the native;
our impressions Of the same road
when we returned behind a pair OF
fine horses in a properly balanced
carriage with a sufficiency of springs
were wholly mis- leading, II more en-
joyable.

SeedIess GRAPES.

What's become of the "coreless"
apple? Twenty years ago 1t was an
nounced as discovery or a develop
ment calculated to revolutionize the
orchard industry. OF late we hear less
about It,
A little later the "thornless' black
berry appeared on the horizon. It cer-
tainly was thornless. but somehow 1t
failed to drive the ferociously armed
brambles OF. the berry gardens into
the desert! 1T is still produced, but
the older kinds are yet much more
common.
Now the "seedless" grape bids for
favor. Such a fruit would surely
meet long felt want" II the quail
ity and flavor of the few thus far
grown can be perpetuated and 1t
proves remuneratively productive and
capable of standing up" for shipment
there is big future before 1t.

DUST EXPERT IN A WAY.
One Man Who Is Constantly Conscious

One Man Who is Constantly Conscious
Of the Presence Of Dirt in tie Air
mo matter where you live and
noweve- high in the air you always
ind dust settling on everything every.
where, but" said the nearsighted man,
IF you want to realize the fact as
you never did before you want to
wear spectacles and work at some en-
ployment that requires constant bend
ing over.
Fourteen times a day, or as much
oftener as you look, you will find your
glasses covered with fine particles Of
dust. Maybe you don't look, and then
maybe some bigger particle, some
speck that is by comparison a veri.
table boulder Of dust, settles there
square in your line of vision, where
it may not obstruct your sight but
where it cannot fail to arrest your
attention. Then when you take them
of to remove that boulder you find
your glasses covered with dust in
finer particles, as you would find them
indeed, however often you might look.
"Over such an area as that of New
York, for instance. there are tons Of
dust floating in the air, as though,
perhaps without figuring out its
weight, many people, such as house
wives and storekeepers, are aware;
but perhaps nobody is reminded Of
this so constantly as the man who
wears spectacles and who bends over
at his work, and on whose glasses,
where 1t is ever before him, dust is
constantly settling"

There was man." he said, who
had no success at golf at ali. The
more he played, 1t seemed, the poorer

Dear, dear he said to his caddy,

to the ancients, but they were used
only on extraordinary occasions.
Persons Of culture as we'll as the bar
barians took their meals and their

says that to this day the primitive
people prefer the reclining to the sit.

lie not upon the back but upon the
