Nice Lofty Rooms With Sealed Win
SoWa and Smoke Laden Air.
Writing Of the great Russian city Of
Odessa In Harpers, Sydney Adamson
tells Of the somewhat primitive ar
judgements Of even the modern hotels
For our ignorance Of Russian we had
the privilege Of paying over twice the
legal fare for our drive to the hotel.
The porters obligingly arranged the
matter and quite cheerfulIy kept the
difference How like the rest Of the
world We felt at home at once. The
large, lofty bedchambers and corridors
Of the hotels make It Just possible to
live in rooms that have double win
dows sealed with putty, which are
never opened from the beginning Of the
winter till the spring thaw Is in the
air.
AS there are no open fires the only
ventilation Is from the slightly better
air OF the corridors. A framed notice on
the wal. informs the visitor OF all the
privileges he is graciously permitted to
pay extra for. among them the Joy Of
being clean at the rate Of 10 kopecks
for a jug Of hot water or 80 kopecks for
a bath But the greatest mystery Of
all was a samovar at 20 kopecks. In
time It was discovered that your true

CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
Its Two Great Arohibshops and lie TIVE
Legislative Bodies.

lts Two Great Arohibshops and lie Two
Legislative Bodies.
The highest office In the Church Of
England is held by the archbishop Of
Canterbury, officially known as pri-
mate Of all England In distinction
from the archbishop Of York, who is
simply primate OF England. The juris-
diction Of the latter extends over the
province or county OF York, which in
cludes ten dioceses in that part OF
England from the Humber to the Dec
and embraces the Isle of Man as well.
The rest Of England is under the ju-
risdicdOn Of the archbishop Of Canter-
bury. That dignitary, however, as pri.
mate OF all England. Is supposed to
possess a certain authority over the
church In the whole country. He takes
precedence on all public occasions not
only Of the archbishop Of York, but Of
all the nobility save the immediate
members OF the royal family. He
crowns the king, but the queen is
crowned by the archbishop of York.
The church has two legislative bod
les called conventions, which attend
to ecclesiastical matters. Each convo-
cation, that OF York and that OF Can
terbury. contains two houses. The up
per house is composed OF bishops and
other dlgnitaries, and the lower house
Is made mp OF deans, archdeacors and
delegates who are elected whenever a
