From the London Evening Standard.

from the London Evening Standard.
A new sect has been formed at Tiflis.
The 'half-weekers." or ''pol-nedel," as
they cal themselves. teach that only
three days and a half In every week
ought to be given to work: the rest
should be devoted to recreation and the
recuperation of the strength lost in la Dor.
Idleness is a sin, 1t is maintained. but
SO is overmuch work. and every man
ought to regulate his life so that he NAV
have an equal share of activity and of
rest. The founder OF the movement, the
Prophet Kusmitch, lives up to his high
ideals, and although he is a cobbler and
has wife and children to support, he
does not hesitate to leave off work every
Thursday afternoon and to repose till
Monday.
