A Cossack on horseback, says Pascal,
is like a man on wings. There is .
veritable speed-mania that is not at
all dissimilar from the automobile
and aeroplane counterparts which
modern civilization has developed.
sorcerers and superstitions.
There was among the Cossacks no
constitution or legislative body for
the steppe. Custom was the only
guide. A conference usually elected
the chief. They are firm believers in
magic and sorcery, and not even the
introduction of Christianity has
wholly succeeded in stamping out SUI
perstition. In Czajkowskis Cossach
tales there is a characteristic scene
where witch is visited for informa-
tion. We find her with her assoct-
ates. Maruska the cat, and a rooster.
Fire and wax complete the magic out
fit. She lights fire in the cave and
calls the cat forward. Maruska makes
circle around the fire, all the time
mewing softly. The witch then melts
her yellow wax and places the ques-
toner in the magic circle described
by the cat. Strange letters are writ
ten down. followed by a good deal OF
hocus-pocus, and while the rooster
crows and the cat sinks into a cor
ner, the witch pronounces a terrible
horoscope of love, blood and damns-
tion.
The steppe is the symbol OF silence.
of dreams and melancholy. The Cos
sacks have their type OF lyric effu-
sion, which represents. as Chojecki
has written, bitter voluptuousness OF
suffering intoxicated with ITSELF" Bot
this is true, concludes Pascal, only Of
the more intimate songs. For their
warrior ballads reveal the true Cos
sack. with their wild pulsation Of the
Joy of combat, and their ardent pas
sion for the life Of strife.
This in way is a farewell appre-
citation of the Cossack, for the pres
ent war has demonstrated the com
parative uselessness OF cavalry, and
the Cossack soldier is above all thingr
a cavalryman

reaches the plain where the Cossack
army is on the march. The war-god
has claimed his own. Day by day
her sweetheart, and at last the army
comes back. But Ostap is no longer
alive. Marienka takes one look at
the corpse, brought back with full
honors. She smiles sadly. sighs, falls
and expires.
For to Cossacks the war passion is
even stronger than that of love. Most
of the regular Cossacks, Pascal tells
us, form really a celibatory corpora
tion. Not that this should betoker
any confluence on their part. 1t is
the freedom from domestic ties rather
than any absence of sensuality which
is thus denoted. Cossacks on the war
path indulge in every caprice of lust
The Cossack trinity, in fact, would
seem to be Whisky, Tobacco and
Girls.
So strong is the appetite for drink
that to crafty it a Cossack is often
led to sell his horse And their
horses are really part of their very
selves.
But mere plunder is not for the Cos
sack. For he has written somewhere:
HE who desires nothing has nothing.
Let the Tartar be content with simple
pillage. AS for the Cossack, he must
astonish the world. If there were
ladder to heaven itself, or a staircase
to hell, the Cossack would find his
way thither and revel in his con-
quests!"
While the Cossacks were still ON
good terms with Poland they not only
furnished useful contingents to the
enemy in time OF war, but they acted
as the policemen Of the steppes,
against the ravages of the Tartars.
Tartar incursions were frequent. and
were warded of by bands Of Cossacks
numbering two or three hundred. All
might long they would sweep the
steppes and in the morning hide In
the ravines to snatch a bit of sleep.

All DAY SInRlng at Relton.

The singing at Bolton was attended
by vast number OF lovers of music.
Also professors and leaders. The
singing was n great success. 1t made
us feel more like one family, and that
Christ was the Father or us all. Such
singing as we enjoyed last Sabbath
helps to take away from our hearts,
envy, hate. malice and everything that
has tendency to lead us from the
paths of righteousness and truth.
When you feel like you were too good
and better than most any one else go
to one of these all day singings. When
you feel like your friends mad all for
sake. you and every thing went
wrong, attend one OF these singlngs
and 1t will help put the right feeling
in your heart. Now try 1t for yourself
and see. /. Just will make one feel
better than they went every time. We
are commanded to sing. Read and see
what the Psalmist say. Listen It says
sing new song unto the Lord. Praise
Him, all ye saints of His. And when
one hears such inspiring songs as
we usually hear at these singings we
get al wrought up and can hardly keep
from shouting Glory Halleluiah let
us give God all the praise.
have often wondered if 1t wasn't q
sin to quench tie spirit at such time
as this. This cinging was attended
by old and young, great and small,
and all seemed to enjoy 1t greatly.
The. singing held the crowd spell
hound for three hours at q time and
they never seem to tire. Yes these
singings arc treat to all who at
tend. and is free to all flnd the very
best behavior at these sineings, which
speaks we'll for such a large crowd
that naturally attends. Ore only has
to visit one OF those singings to see
what great results. is being accom-
plished.
The convention enjoyed dne talk
from Rev. H. Hadock. Long live the
man Of God and be greatly rewarded
according to his works.
The professors and leaders at the
singing were, j. y. Abbecrumbia, R !.
