SHOW PICTURES OF WARES
Only Way Russian Merchants Can Let
Illiterate Peasants Know What

Advertising seems to be an indispen-

extremely i~lliterate, ingenious ways of
advertising may be seen Beside the
printed designs of the different shops,
which would be quite meaningless to
the customers. are painted pictures of
what wares are sold there.
The baker shows his rolls, loaves
and cakes; fish are seen at another
place; tea may be found over there
where one sees the teacups and sau-
GERS, and thus is everything else To-
Gated. For the convenience of the
peasant the houses are painted various
bright colors. so that he can find his
way among them.
If he wants to know when the train
starts, instead Of reading the time ta-
bles he listens to bells which are rung
at the stations. When one bell rings
he knows he has still 10 minutes;
when two are sounded only five re-
main, and when three strike his ear the
train starts.
If he wants to read a letter he goes
to the post Office and pays a sum equal
to 2 cents to a man who does it for
him. When he sends a postcard 2h
cents will get it done for him and 5
cents procures a long letter. The adj
dress of q letter costs him half a cent.
He knows where the letter boxes are
because he can see the picture Of the
post card or letter beside it.

CHAPTER II.
The Rest Of the Family.


1t was Saturday morning when the
our young parsonage girls arrived in
Mount Mark. The elderly Misses Avery,

,ending their appearance on Main
'treet, with interest and concern. They
we're Episcopalians themselves, and in
I'll their long lives they had never so
much as heard Of widower-rector
With five daughters and no housekeep-

ling in the bare idea.
The Misses Avery considered Pru-
lence herself rather a sweet, silly
little thing.
'You have some real nice people in
he Methodist church," Miss Dora had
old her. Il dare say you will find
lew of them very likable.'
"Oh, will like them ALL said Pru-

Rev. Mr.. Morgan was charmed, and
said so. So Prudence rushed to the
kitchen, opened the peaches in a hurry,
and fished out clean napkin for their
guest. Then they gathered about the
table, five girls and the visiting min
lister. It was really curious sight,
that table. In the center stood tall
vase of goldenrod. On either side of
the vase was a great platter piled high
with sweet corn, on the cob! Around
the table were six plates, with the nee
essary silverware, and glass of wa
ter for each. There was also small
dish of peaches at each place, and an
individual plate of butter. That was
all-except the napkins. But Prudence
made no apologies. She was daugh-

And the girls bowed their heads.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan cleared his throat.
and began: "Our Father we thank thee
for this table,"
/ There was more of the blessing, but
the parsonage girls heard not one adj
ditional phrase except Connie, who
followed him conscientiously through
every word. Carol burst into merry
laughter, close upon his reverent

soon it was rollicking group around

as soon as Carol could get her breath,
she gasped out an explanation.
'You were just-right, Mr.. Morgan
to give thanks-for the tablet There's
nothing-on ito be thankful for!"
And the whole family went off once
more into peals of laughter.
Mr.. Morgan had very little appetite
that day. He did not seem to be so
