Russia's Famous Choir.

The members of the choir of the
cathedral of Alexander Nevskl in ST.
Petersburg are all monks. They are
thirty in number and are chosen from
the best singers In all the Russian
mOnasteries. When the possessor of a
fine voice appears among the novitIates
he Is sent to the monastery Of Alexan-
der Nevskl. which adjoins the cathe-
dral. where he Is trained as carefully
as an opera singer and remains there,
doing little beyond assisting at the
music Mt mass In the morning and YES
pers In the afternoon. until he becomes
aged. when he retires on pension.
Many of the voices are Of marvellous
power and sweetness. The monks are
all vegetarlans. The rules Of the or
thodox church forbid them to shave
and their hair is worn like woman's.

IL Was In His Head.

Balzac once promised Lirieux, the
manager OF the Odeon theater In Paris.
FIVE act drama. The Springs Of
Quinola." He was so busy with other
work. however. that not till he had
been long and urgently importuned did
he promise to read his piece to the
company the next week. The company
gathered about him on the day ap-
pointed. and he read his FIVE act play
nuently through to the end Lirieux
was enthusiastic, ran up to shake
hands with the great writer and turn
ed over the pages of the manuscript,
whose contents had pleased him might
lily. But what was this? There were
only four acts. The last pages of the
manuscript were blank. In surprise
the manager asked what 1t all meant
Balzac smiled and admitted that he
had not yet written out the fifth act,
but declared that he had 1t as clearly
In his head as IL 1t already stood on
paper. And" continued the poet mer-
rily. II have in the same head two
more outcomes Of the plot in case the
one just read doesn't please you"

Catacombs of the Druids.

Eleven miles southeast of London, In
Kent, not many years ago were dis
covered the catacombs of the ancient
druids, which are now much visited by
sightseers and are lighted. for part
at least, by electric lights. Over fifty
miles of chambers, cut in the chalk
cliffs, have already been explored The
druids lived in these catacombs when
attacked by their northern enemies,
and here they buried many of their
dead. The stone in which the human
sacrifices were made is still to be seen
and also the well, from which water is
drawn to this day.

Private Schools
Are Discussed
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT A. B.
LIGHTFOOT TELLS OF INTER-
ESTING INSTITUTIONS NOT
UNDER PUBLIC CONTROL.

written for the News by A. B. Light
foot. Deputy State Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
Among the interesting educational
institutions of this country stand
those schools which are controlled
and managed by private individuals
as against public control. These
schools have been written about at
length by people who have visited
and studied them. and there has been
SO much said in their favor that
many people have taken their sons
and daughters from the public schools
and expended large amounts of mon
ey in sending them to the private In
stitutions for their education. | have
always found this an interesting
phase of educational work, and one
from which much can be gained fol
of the occasion offered to see some
of these schools while going to and
from the National Education associa-
tion at Richmond. Virginia.

DAVID M'LEAN IS.
BACK FROM OLD HOME

Constable David Mclean returned
Monday night from a pleasant
sojourn at his old home in Nova
Scotia. The popular peace officer
found that conditions had changed
materially during his stay of forty
years in Nevada. He was able to en-
counter only six persons, who re-
membered him prior to his departure
from his old home.
Il certainly had an enjoyable trip"
said Mr.. Mclean. What surprised
me most was the remarkable change
that had been accomplished during
my absence. One town that could
boast of only three thousand at the
time | left now has q population OF
5000.
Nova Scotia has progressed In
many ways during the last forty
yeear. The steel industry is one OF
the most important in that common
wealth at the present time, and added
thirty-five millions to the country's
wealth. Wages have advanced con-
siderably. A common laborer can
demand $3.50 for nine hours work.
l was compelled to hire a carpenter
for short period of time, and upon
paying him Off he demanded $4.75
day. This scale does not fall far
short of the wages paid in the Ely
district. ] met with many pleasant
surprises ON my trip homeward."
