One peculiar type of song, the liorovod, is universal all over Ilus niu. liorovod nieuns lender of a chorus. Every Kussian villngor, man or woman, knows a liorovod. It al ways begins with the chief melody ; sung by 0110 voico or by a number , of voices in unison. The secondary parts nro a frco imitation of it, and onco tho chief , melody hns been given out every mcmbor of tho company develops it according to his taste. Tho two ' sexes never mix and Bing with each other. J here aro always male and ! female horovodi. Somo of theso ! folk songs arc collected from phono- frams by Kugcnia I.inolT in "Tho 'easant Song? of Groat HiiBsia." j Tho broad, slow flowing rivers of Utissia seem to cxereifo a strong fascination upon tho peasant's im agination. On tho banks of tho Volga groups of men and women may often bo Been in Btimmer drag ging out timber which has floated down, and as they tug at their bur den they Bing, Tho m'st of most of their river songs is that if you aro born to la - Itti t'ui imiaf lul riti fPill til Inlt bravely, one, two, three, and yet xlnnco more, and the task is done." & ' Many eongs belong to tho Volga dls - ' 1 1 1 1 1 iMt It flk J l HINDI hW.I ...I, J 1.1., ..... v irici, aim one is iii'incnicti to ".ioui- c!cr Vo,n" ,icrf,ulf" Th u,,s9inn punrnint also boliovcs his rivers to 1 peasant also boliovcs his rivers to ' bo inhabited by mysterious beings.

A catalogue was to accompany them M) arranged that tho emperor could readily find any desired volumo. The distribution of mibjecls was ax follows: Forty volumes on religion, fortv of enic noetrv. fortv nf tlm 1 drama, sixty volumes nf other po etry, sixty volumes of history and a hundred novels, "In order to complete thu quoin," ran thu in structions, "tho balance shall bo ......1.. .... - i.ti. . !. it iniiiiu 111, 111 iiihhm mil iiieilliiirn.

A man docs not take oil his hat to a lady because ho looks nicer without it. The instance of bald men would bo alone sufllcicnt to un let such an explanation. Ho docs it because you must posi tively do something when you meet a lady or your whole civilization f;ocs to pieces, and taking off your mt is easier than taking off your nccktio or lying faco downward on tho pavement. Tho primary point is that you must do something, not that you must do something beautiful. And 03 long as cultivated people cannot grasp this fact thoy will find thoir efforts quite futile in dealing with what they often consider the dull ness of the middle classes or tho vulgarity and morbidity of tho poor. In bo far as tho bourgeois thinks it more important to wear a Sunday hat than a becoming hat ho is per fectly right. It is more important; the religion of the tribe is more im portant than tho pretty appearance ! of .Mr. .loncs, 1 In bo far as tho charwoman thinks II ttinrii frtmnrtnttt Mint linr lmattnn1 .1.". ....... .11,. . .

There is nothing which I so sincerely respect in sav ages as their widespread and gener ally ascertained dispotilion to wear top hats. Loudon Illustrated News. Left It All to Noah. A good story is told with refer ence to the publication of a certain Biblical dictionary. Tho editor is said to have given tho article on the deluge to what he considered a safe hand, but when tho article wus sent in it was found to contain views which would certainly have shocked orthodox readers, what could bo done? Tho volumes had to bo pub- iisned lortiiwuii. in tins dilemma ho put in his dictionary, "Delugo see llodd." This, at any rate, post poned tho dilHculty, and tho article on tho Hood was given out to a writer who it wa thought could bo bolter trusted. But when this bcc oud article came in it was found to bo worso than tho first, and an other postponement was necossary. Tho now volumo contained another referenco, "Flood mo Noah," tho bewildered editor trusting that by tho time Nonh was reached ho would succeed in finding a man who would Imj able to mingle scienco and or thodoxy in duo degrees.

This is the wuv the railway man heard the conundrum: "At what timo shortly before noon is it .1 o'clock ? At a quarter of 18, becuuao a quarter of twelve is throe." And tin's tho way ho worked it off oir his friends: "At what timo shortly boforo noon is it 3 o'clock? At 11:15, be cause 11:15 is 3. It doesn't sound right either, blame it, but that's the wuy 1 heard it." Central Market! llolbrook Mock. Sec its for the Choicest Cuts of the Host Meats Obtainable. Orders Pilled anil Family Trade Solicited DOES THE DOQ REASON? Authentlo Initaneee That 8eem to War rant That Conoluilon. A dog I owned Buffered a great deal with indigestion. Tho least in discreet diet would bring on theso attacks, and as they occurred very frequently 1 had a large bottle of medicine "always on hand and kept it on a shelf in his kennel. Tho dog seemed to have acquired a thor ough comprehension as to tho relief Jirinrrlnrf rill ill i f V nf that hottlfi Wlievor ho was ill and food was placed before him ho would scont it, poisoning. Keep a bottle of Pain walk away without touching it, then Balm in your home and it will save turn to the shelf and, gazing stead- 'you time and money, not to m;n llv nt thn bottle, indicato nlainlv his I tion the inconvenience and suffer- wnntn. Hn took tho medicino with - out tho Blightcst balking, which Is rather exceptional, as any one who ever tried to doso a dog will agree. This dog when let out would never disturb anything in tho poul try yard, but tho moment a stray I I, t t . I ! t.f .1 it.- chick iosi ner way inio ms varu mu Bavogo got tho hotter of him. Ho would catch tho unfortunate strag gler, kill and devour it, leaving only a few leatiiers as eviuenco 01 tno "murder." Punishment alwayB fol lowed. Tho remnants of feathers wero shown to tho dog bo aB to im press on him his wrong doings and mako tho cause of tho punishment clear to him. From timo to timo young chickens would bo missing, and ail oiiorts to locato tno guuty ono wero vain. Tho dog's yard was always scrutinized, but nothing found. Mv best broilers worn disntmear ing lit a rapid rate, and I decided to have tho dog watched. Soon ho was caught in tlio act and tho, mystery nolved. Tho moment tho dog had finished his meal ho scratched tho feathers in a heap and carried them with hi teeth to a corner of his vard, whero ho buried them. Tho doir had tho most embarrassed and helpless expression at tho timo ho was caugut tnat 1 over noticed on n dog. An extra sovcro punishment was dealt out, and 1 do not know if tho mortification of being trapped or tho punishment did tno work, but tho dog was cured from that moment on. Tho related observations show reasoning in order to accomplish something for 11 set purpose. 1 be liovo most animals possess tho qual ity in some degree, moro or less, according to their tnontal dovclop mcnt. In tho last caso described tho dog's instinct led him to catch and kill thu chicken, but memory told him that punishment would follow if found out. Ho reasoned that by Hiding tho evidenco of his guilt ho would escapo punishment for his ac tions, which lio understood to bo wrong. Tho very fact of being ablo to discriminate between right and wrong and trying to check tho con sequences of tho latter shows tho necessity of thinking and thcrcforo or reasoning power. b. u.
