1t seems curious that religious
edifice which has been in use for so
many years should still await its con-
secration. but the reason is that the
cathedral has only lately been freed
from the debt incurred in the build
ing expenses, and it would thus have
been impossible to consecrate the
cathedral while there was still a
chance of its cesec-ation.

FOR NEW FARMER CLASS.
Peasant, Under New Provision, May
Now Sell His Land.

st. Petersburg.-The agrarian rev.
olution proceeds apace. The Council
of the Empire has now passed a pro-
vision that the holdings of peasants
under the new system of land tenure
which is fast superseding the rural
commune shall be individual and not
family property. The step is one Of
incalculable Importance to the future
social and economical life of Russia.
The peasant not being bound to leave
his holdings to his heirs, but being
free to sell it, the land will in course
OF time pass into the hands OF the
thriftier and more Industrious, thus
creating a new farmer class, while the
landless will pass into the towns or
become agricultural laborers.
