RULER HAS ABSOLUTE SWAY
Of Religion, Though Little
Known to the World.

The most absolute monarch in the
world is the least known. He rules
In Urga. 1t is the capital Of Mon
gofia. and the potentate is at the same
time the official head of a religion.
He is. In fact. the Mongol pope.
Urga Is to some extent modern
town. having many Chinese and Rus
sian inhabitants; but the native por-
ton of II bears no resemblance to
anything that can be found anywhere
else on earth. For this Mongol part
Of the city is movable and constantly
changes Its location and arrangement.
The MOngol houses are hemisphere
cal huts of felt cloth extended over
light structure of latticework. They
are readily collapsible. and can be put
up or taken down at a few minutes
notice Felt cloth being an excellent
insulator, they afford a warm and
weatherproof shelter during winters
of extreme cold.
There are at Urga, however, num-
Der of large monasteries. 1t is the
holy city of the Mongols. The priests
(called 'lamas") are numbered by hum
dreds of thousands, and their ia
maseries" are scattered all over the
country.
The business of the lamas is to drive
away the devils which. but for their
pious activity, would soon destroy all
the people. At intervals they give
great outdoor exhibitions Of a quasi
theatrical character, in which hum
dreds Of lamas take part, dancing in
grotesque masks and fantastic cos
tunes to music furnished by drums.

Charles Dickens Has Been Called Vain,
but This Story Seems to Prove
Otherwise.

The reproduction of very rare car
feature portrait of Dickens appeared
In q recent number of Dickensian.
William Miller was the author of the
portrait, which was advertised for in
vain by F. G. Kitton, more than
twenty years ago, for insertion in his
book, Charles Dickens by Pen and
Pencil" says Christian Science Mont
tor. Dickens first saw the portrait in
question when walking along Picca-
dilly with Disraeli one day. He was
vastly amused, and. entering the shop,
bought several copies one of which
was sent to the Hon. Mrs. Richard
Watson at Rockingham. In a letter
written from Gad's Hill place he says:
Il hope you may have seen a large
headed photograph with little legs
representing the Undersigned 1t has
just sprung up so abundantly in all
the shops that I am ashamed to go

when first came upon it. until 1

GREW FROM ROMAN COLONY
City and Fortress of Cologne Has

A fortress of the first rank, and

semicircle on the left bank of the
Rhine. some 45 miles north-northwest
of COblenz, and, as the center of net
work of railways, 1t has direct COM
municatiOn with all the chief cities
of Europe; whilst along the broad wa.
tiers of the Rhine its ships may 90

Julius Caesar was leading his legions
over Gaul, in the first century before
the Christian era, Cologne was the
chief town of the Ubii. and was known
to the Romans as the Oppidum Ubi-
Drum. Here, In A. d. so, a Roman
colony was planted by the Emperor
Claudius, In honor of his wife, Agrip-
pima, and given the name of ColOnia
Agrippine. 1t rapidly rose to be a
place of Importance, and, under the
emperors, had the privilege Of the Jus

the empire, and with it the outlying

Early Trench Journals.

There is very long list of these
early trench journals, the majority of
which have been collected by Mr..
Charles de la Ronclere. who has de-
posted them at the Bibliotheque Ma
tional in Paris for the benefit Of the
future historians of the war. They in
clude lie Petit Echo du Eighteenth
Regiment, d'infanterie territoriale,
which was very artistically edited by
Corporal Huhuet and autographed In
many colors; L'Echo des Tranchees,
the editor of which was the famous
short story writer, Paul Reboux, and
which contained articles and poems by
such writer's as Poincare and Rostand,
Theodore Botrel and Henri de Reg
nier; and the Echo du Ravin, the or
gan of the Firty-first chasseurs, which
boasted of private wire connecting
the office with abroad-the barbed
wire reaching right up to the trenches
of the Boches.

INDULGE IN JOYOUS "MIxUP"
People Of Villages Of the Ukraine Hold
Peculiar Celebration on Resur-
rectlon Sunday.

The Ukraine is the richest and
most thickly settled district Of Rus
sia. Travellers will remember 1t as
a plain of never-ending wheat fields, a
land of silent, friendly peasants, Of
colorful dress and curious folk Gus
toms. Large cities are few, but there
is village every few miles.
The people of the villages, and even
the more enlightened folk Of the cit
les, have retained some traditional OBJ
servances peculiar to the land. One
of the most curious Of these was part
of the celebration of the Greek church
holiday, Resurrection Sunday. This
date was up to a few years ago the
occasion for municipal free-for-all
fight in many Ukrainian cities.
The people of the city were divided
into two camps. Sometimes the city
was divided into halves; more often
the division was made into the true
urban jewellers on the one hand, and
the suburbanites on the other. All the
able-bodied men, and still more en-
Enthusiastically, all the small boys,
poured into the streets for battle. Ne
weapons of any kind were used; even
sticks and clubs were barred. Fists
were employed freely, however, and
any man could get literally all the
fight he wanted.
The combat sometimes ragged all
day. Any time some combatant had
enough" he needed only to indicate
as much, and the crowd was bound to
part and let him through. He was
then barred from further participation.
The battle sometimes ended with one
party or the other driven from the
field, but usually the decision was
draw and nothing but collection Of
bruised knuckles and sore heads re-
NAMED to show for 1t.
The origin Of this custom has given
rise to considerable speculation. 1t is
probably due to the fact that the Uk-
rainians were for centuries fighting
people. In the middle ages they were
continually involved In petty warfare
with the Cossacks and the Tartars.
When the balance of power" peace
descended upon Europe, they seem to
have turned instinctively to warlike
sports to keep alive the fighting spirit
among the people. In view of recent
developments, the recourse would hard
ly appear to have been a success

war Activities Of ceoIooicaI Survey.

The special training of the geological

for effective war service both overseas
and in this country. The large amount
of technical data collected through the
years by the geological survey was
found to possess a value not antici-
pated, and the official machinery or

AT REST BENEATH FLOWERS
Beautiful Conception of "Garden Of
the Brave" Above the Heroic
Dead In France.

That was a beautiful and moving
conception of Sir John Fraser's spoken
at the Pilgrims luncheon that the buri-
al lands of the war in France should
be made gardens of flowers. In his
eloquent words:
81 would like to see-and do see
sometimes in my vision-the flowers
of America growing over where lie SO
many of your gallant sons.
Il know there will be mighty
stretches of heur-de-lis marking the
sleeping place of 1.5OOOO0 brave
Frenchmen. | would like to see the
blooms Of Belgium nodding over the
graves where brave Belgians sleep, and
| know that out there l would like to
see mighty avenue of maple trees,
all glorious with their crimson and
with their gold, telling the place where
the Canadians rest, and there will be
mighty masses of the wonderful Aus
tralian waffle showing where the Aus
tralians are sleeping; yes and know
that out there, too, will be great
sheaves of green, the shamrock cover
let for the brave Irish; and there will
be roses everywhere, the white rose
and red rose, the roses of Old England,
of Lancaster and of York, telling
where 100000 brave Englishmen lie.
Perhaps out In that Garden Of the
Brave would come across stretches Of
heather, beautiful gold-purple heather.
would know there were Scotsmen
buried there. There would be playing
Il would hear the sound Of the pipes,
for the pipes always play where dead
Scotch soldiers lie; that is the vision
that comes to me-"
There would be many American SYM
bols to join the goldenrod,
California peoples, the Wild rose,
among the rest. Certainly no more
glorious and fitting memorial could be
imagined than such fields Of mingled
beauty.-New York Tribune.

In Valenciennes there Is a statue
OF Jean Froissart, prince of war cor

town. Froissart came into all the
splendor of the medieval life of Val
enciennes. the streets crowded with
knights and soldiers. priests, artisans
and merchants, and the churches and
houses rich with stained glass and
precious carvings. There were also
festivals, Mosques, mummerles and
moralities every year. Instlgated
by his seigneur. he set himself to
write contemporary history. He
could describe battle more wildly
than any of his contemporaries. He
wanted to know everything; liked to
get the story of a battle FROM both
sides and many points of view, and
wanted the details of every little cav
airy skirmish, every capture of cas-
tie. every gallant action and brave
deed. A good journalist, he forgot
nothing. II had" he says, thanks
