= _ THE MOUJIK.

The Russian calendar is full of saints’ days and of holidays of every kind, and Ivan would sooner see his hay or his oats rot upon the ground than do a stroke of work upon aay day which of- fers the smallest canonical excuse for remaining idle. Then there is ‘‘the drink.’’ This is the darling vice of the country and the real cause of the pov- erty of the peasant classes and of half the misery that exists throughout the land.

The fields remain half cultivated be- cause Ivan cannot spare the time to go out to work, and his really exemplary wife cannot do it all, though she does her best, because of the small children at home. As for Ivan himself, he is in the kabak, or drinking shop, and cannot be expected to tear himself away for guy very prolonged period, for all his friends are there, and why should he be the exception?

If any money comes in by tho sale of hay, or oats, or milk, or anything else, the monopolist who keeps the vil- lage drinking shop krows well enough what becomes of it; so perhaps does Ivan, but it is quite certain that poor, patient, hardworking Masha, his wife, and the small children see nothing of it. They have their lump of black bread for dinner, and perhaps a particle of the game is left over for supper, and that is good enough for them. Ivan lives on vodka chiefly and leaves most of the rye bread for his family, but occasionally he indulges in a wooden bowlful of schee, which is a kind of cabbage soup, or toys with atrifle of salted herring. He is no great eater.—Chambers’ Jour- mal

Her Complexion.

Made up complexions are on the in- «crease in New York. The fashionable or would be fashionable New Yorker who does not teday make up a little is a rare bird. A dab of rouge for evening has never been considered criminal by her, but she now uses it for daytime as well. As always happens when a habit becomes more universal, much of the present make wp is very badly done. The few did it, asa rule, artistically, but the many lay it on with a heavy hand. Without wishing to go into the ethics of make up it is safe to say this —the fact that so much of it is done badly is one reason why we object to the increase.

Owe must always hare a sneaking ap- preciation of the story of the father who ‘when told that his daughter used rouge ealled her to him and asked if it were Srue.

**Tt is,’’ replied the girl.

**For heaven's sake,’’ said the father, **go straight up stairs and wash it off.’’

The girl did so and returned to her father, who gave one glance at her col- orless cheeks.

**For heaven's sake,’’ he cried, ‘‘go straight up stairs and put it on again.”’ — Exchange.

The Old Lady's Discovery.

The Philadelphia Record teils this story of the late President William H. Allen of Girard college: On one occa- sion a business matter called Mr. Allen to a small town in the central part of the state. While sitting in the parlor of the country hotel in the evening after transacting his business he was taken in hand by the wife of the proprietor, who was extremely inquisitive and wanted to know all about his private affairs. Mr. Allen took it all in good part and for a time was rather amused. Finally she asked, ‘*Have you got much of a family?’’

**Oh, yes,’’ said he, and he smiled as his mind reverted to his hundreds of pupils.

‘*How many children?’ she persisted.

**Well,’’ said Mr. Allen, with great earnestness, ‘‘I have 500 and all boys!"’

The good old lady was speechless f: r amoment. Then she arose and hurr-- ing to the door called to her husband: **Oh, John! Come in here! We've got Brigham Young stor nin with us!"’

In reply he received from Sir Wilfrid Laurier a letter insisting on the departure of himself and Lieut. Carranza. Of course, Sir Wilfrid Laurier had no right to order people out of this country. Heisapremier and not dictator; he has only such powers as are conferred upon him by Parliament, and he has po right to insist upon anyone leaving the country.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES —New York Snn: The easiest of all the jobs we have this far undertaken in the war with Spain bas been the conquest of the Ladrooe or Mariana Islands. There: is bumor in the story that when Captain Glas, in the Charleston, bombard the fortin the principal harbor in the island, Governor Don Jaan Marino, who was ignorant of any war between the United States and Spain, ‘* believing that a salute was being fired in his honor, sent acourteons regret that he waa unable to reapond, being out of powder. ”

Chicago Jourral: “A correspondent cal- culates that since the estimate for the cost (f firiog around from a big modern gun is $1,000, 1,500 shots were fired at the forts of Santiago in one day by the U. S. fleet, the bombardment cost the countre $1,590,- 000. This calculation is detective. The figure, $1,000, applied only tothe 13-inch guns The cost of firing the 8 and 6 inch gun wou’d be much less. The 1,100 pound cast steel shell of a 13 inch gun used against armoured battleships costs about $500. The ordinary ehell, fired at un- armoured ships and forts, costs much less. Of course the 500 pounds of powder be» hind the shell entera into the reckoning, but the remainder of the $1,000 is obtained by dividing up the original cost of the gan between the theoretical number of dis~ charges which it could bear.

ANAEMIA, OR BLOODLESSNESS.

Its Victims are Pale in Color, Subject to Dizziness, Palpitation of the Heart and Other Distreseing Symptoms.

From the Echo, Plattsville, Ont.

Avemia, which literally means blood- lessness, is prevalent to an alarming ex tentamong young girls aud young women of the present day, and is a fruitful souce of “decline” and consumption, The symp- toms of this trouble are many, bat among the most noticeable are pallor of the face, lips and gums, shortness of breath on slight exertion, dizziness, seyere headache, weakness of the vital organs, palpitation of the heart, and dropsical swelling of the limbs. The more of these symptoms shown, the greater the necessity for prompt treatment. Among those who Lave suffered from anemia and found a cure is Miss Emily Webb, a young lady residing vear Wolverton, Ont. Miss Webb saye: My illness first came on when I was about sixteen years of age. My com- plexion was a pale waxy color; I was troubled with general weakness, dizziness and palpitation of the heart. I wa placed under p elica) treatment, but the medicine prescribed by the docwor did pot sppear todo me the slightest good. A time went by I was slowly but surely growing worse. 1 was unable to do any work about the house, and my limbs

would tremble to such an extent ai the slightest exertion that I could scarcely stand upon my feet. Then

my s:omach became so we k that I vomit: ed almost everything I av; I grew des- pondent and feared 1 would not recover. While in this condition a friend trged me totry Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, ard I fol- lowed the advice. After I bad used two boxes I noticed animprovement and my heart was gladdened with the hope of rex newed health. At the end of six boxes my appetite bad fully returned, and with it strength, colorto my cheeks, and bright. nevs to the eyes, I still continued taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills until I bad taken in all twelve boxes, and I can truthfaily assert that I am healtnier and stronger than I ever was betore. I owe this to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I would urge all girls who suffer as I did to give tnem a fair trial,

hereditary, and the fact that one person of a family had died with consumption was considered a sure sign that others of that family could not eecap2 it. This is partly true and partly uotrue. A mao with weak Jungs is likely to transmit that weakness to his children. But there is no reason in the world why the weakness should be allowed to develop. Keep the lungs ful] of rich, red, whoiesome blood, and the weakness will disappear. Decaying tissues wiil be thrown cff, and new materia! wil! be added until the lungs are well and per- fectly strong again. This is the thing that Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery does. This is what makes it cure 93 per cent of all cases of consumption where it is taken according to directions, It search-~ es out disease germs whereever they may be in the body and forces them out of the system. It supplies the blood with rich, life-giving properties. it makes the ap petite good, digestion perfect. Send 31 cents in Onexcent stamps to World’s Dis- pensarv Medical Association, Buffalo, N.

About Telegraph Poles.

The number of poles used for tele- graph wires per mile varies from 20 to 22 on minor lines to 26 to 30 on main lines. These poles are of regulation height, in order that the lowest wire shall not be less than 12 feet from the ground, and as the poles are set into the ground from 4 to 6 feet they measure from 20 to 22 feetin length. The Bag, or dip, varies of course with the number of poles per mile and the condition of the atmosphere, but the average is about 14 feet.
