 The best Russian railway trains are just as good as ours, but the power behind the timetable may be said to De the teatable. When the train stops at a station. everyone from fne engineer down to the last passenger may De seen with their teapots carrying them to the samoyar to make their cup Of tea When everybody has had time to make his tea, the train moves on.
 Russians drink their tea without milk but use domino sugar, taking bite of sugar and then a drink of tea, which is favored with lemon The. samovar is served at all hours of the day and at every conceivable oppor- tunity, either of business or social life.
 The Police System.
 Rev. MT Parker explained the st. Petersburg police system, which puts over every house a dbornik, who is partly a servant and partly a police spy. The dbornik has charge of the gate which leads to the court around which the houses in a square are built and no man may enter or leave his own house without the knowledge of his dbornik.
 Another characteristic Russian ex pression is equivalent to presently" This means anything from 'in a little while, in two hours, tomorrow, or next day, to whenever I can,' and is .1 ipif that is another national characterfs- tic. Only one per cent. of the people of Russia can read but the country is bound to improve but improve slow 1y. The government is to blame for not educating the people.
 Clergy in Russia.
 The lecturer spoke of the condition of the clergy in Russia. Many of them among the peasant class cannot read. in the villages they are poor and live on tips. It is a custom for them to go around from house to house to bless the Easter feast, eating at each house and drinking vodka. The re- suit is that in thousands of Russian villages on Easter night the priest is carried home drunker than any one else in the village. The lecturer also described the beautiful Easter service as seen in the cathed.-als where in St. Petersburg 4,000 people kneel at once holding lighted candles, an impress sive sight, never to. be forgotten. Since Bloody Sunday, when the czar's soldiers shot through the ikons which the peasants. carried, they have been saying that the czar had killed God and the church attendance had fallen off 75 per cent, but the visit of Hal Iey's comet last summer had had some effect in soaring the people back into the churches.
 The lecture concluded with the views, for which Rev. F. O. Cunning ham handled the stereopticon well.
