RUSSIAN MONASTERY.

on Island of LadOga.

Establishment OF Monks Of WaIamo
ON Island Of LadOga.
From Travel and Exploration.
The monks OF Walamo have a Russian
monastery on a small island in Lake
Ladoga. It would appear that in some
measure the monastery is regarded. like
the well-known monastery Of Mars Saba
IN Palestine. as a penal monastery.
The establishment consists of thirty
priests. who are not monks: fifteen dea-
cons, who play an important part in the
services of the Greek Church, and 90
monks. These with the novices and lay
men make a total Of from 100 to 1900.
At the present time none OF the monks
live alone, but formerly solitary life was
by no means an exception. The last her
NIT lived for over fifty years in retire

1t Is a Poor Habitation IN Pecuiiar
Part of Scotland.
From the Wide World.
The Island Of Arran is one OF those
places in the west of Scotland where
the geologic phenomenon known as a
raised beach" is very apparent. All
along the coast there are evidences that
the land has been considerably elevated
at some period of the worlds history
One OF these proofs is the presence OF
caves of various sizes, formed by the
action OF the waves in the past, but
which are now we'll above the present
high water mark. The farmers use some
of the larger caves as shelters for sheep
in stormy weather. In remote corner
of the island one OF these caves has been
converted into human habitaion, where
a family OF several persons dwen In abb
solute seclusion. Their occupation is the
gathering OF whelks. an employment
which is said to afford bat precarious
livelihood AS the gathering Of the she'll
fish can be done only at low water, and
as the fishers have no boat or other occu-
patton. they have ample leisure to enjoy
the pure afr and bask in the sunshine.
Except for the drip from the face Of the
hish rocks above, which is skiIlfully di-
yerted. the cave is absolutely dry. The
interior is shaped like triangle, the floor
forming the base, Save at the sides,
there is ample room to stand upright and
move about inside. Besides the beds and
cooking utensils. the cave contains many
articles or various kinds, giving the in
terror quite a honely appearance. The
apology for a fireplace Is some way back
from the entrance. through which the
smoke finds it's way outside.

SUFFRAGE AND DIVORCE.
Latter Increases Where Former Is
Granted In Western States.


From the Richmond Times Dispatch
Those who believe that woman is COM
ing into her own, and that equal suffrage
for woman will be here long before the
milIennial dawn. must take renewed
hope from the fact that the arguments
used by the ungentlemanly opposition
are exceedingly weak. In the West a
war Of words is being waged. The ques-
ton is very intense there, for equal SUI
frage there has progressed more as an
active issue than it has in all other parts
Of the country.
The new argument OF those who would
deny the ballot TO women is that in
States where woman suffrage is permit
ted the number of divorces is increasing.
The opposition cites statistics in Colo
RADIO. Utah. Idaho. and Wyoming wo-
man suffrage exists to a certain extent
in these States. and figures are cited to
sustain the contention that where woman
is independent politically she wishes 10
be independent OF her life partner.
The Boston Globe knocks this argu-
ment into a cooked chapeau II points
out that a serious and accurate study OF
these statistics shows that The figures
used cannot be invoked against suffrage.
Divorce statistics are deceptive. One
State viii make a showing OF the grant
% few divorces, because its courts make
the securing OF a divorce a hard matter
On the other hand a State with lax
courts will show many divorces.
The average number of divorces for
every 10000 people in the Western States
mentioned is only &C. while the figures
for Maine are III. for New Hampshire.
10, and for Rhode Island, 100.
1t will be seen, therefore, that this ar
gument against suffrage cannot hold. II

those who are about TO be swept away

ground that the necessary seal was lack

QUALITY OF FOOD WHICH

What did our forefathers eat? How
were our foremothers able to worry along

and the thousand and one things that the
housewife of the present day would miss,
who depends upon many ingredients that
she can buy already prepared at the cor

This question often has been asked, but
it has rarely. if ever, been properly an
swered. What kind of food was cooked
in the open tireplaces of a century or
more ago?
1t has been claimed that the housewives
OF that period by far excelled the culinary
experts of the present age, and recipes
from that time certainly show that the
housewives were adopts in the preoara-
ton of palatable meal II is quite rea-

of those days were pure, and we know
that many kinds of food in those days
were cheap when compared with the
prices of to-day.

the cookery was prepared in such lavish
quantities, or that a bag of flour that
would last the average family a week in
this age was used up in one baking of
pies century ago. and everything else
in proportion.
The old-time housewife had not heard
of yeast, and in place of chemicals used
''emptins,' a sort of home crock.
Some of the old-time recipes were rich,
too, and they were highly seasoned. but
the frills and fancy dishes did not appear.
In the old dishes everything was OF

Even perfumes were sometimes employed

Meats cost from to cents per pound
and poultry was cents. The housewives
of a century ago had elaborate rules for

and even fish; wines were used in prepar-
