These pilgrims beg for money com
paratively rarely. They have the self
respeet nnd Independence which beflt

they have saved for this pllgrlmnge for
many years; they nro hardy up to the
last degree. At night they sleep where
tney can, In a monastery or perhaps In
sheds that hnvo been erected for them
by the road, nnd when they wish to
drluk they stop nnd nsk for water at a
peasant's hut w here they nro respect
fully received. If they nro short of
bread the poor moujlk will give them
some, If he has any, for the charitable
instinct of the people In Russia is Inex
tinguishable. And perhaps, too, they
will render some service to the homes
that they visit Tolstoi has described
a pilgrim to the Holy Land who found
a whole family dying of starvation and
set them up again. And when Satur

then men and women will plunge Into

Glad, after this Interminable march
of mnny weeks, is tho Russian pilgrim
when he sees far olT, flashing against
the asuro sky, the domes of tho church
es of the holy places whero he la to
worship, and especially Is he glad If It
be a town, like Kiev, that stands on a
range of wooded hills, breaking the
monotony of the endless plain. Sing
ing a more Joyous hymn, ho approach
es eagerly, for bo knows that there are
food and lodging assured him at his
destination. At Jerusalem there Is an
Immense convent built supported by
the Russian government which is well
aware of what tho pilgrims do to In
crease Russian influenco and her repu

eky there Is a hotel with sloping coun

the lavra of Fctchersk, the oldest of the
Russian monasteries, there has been
a house for the poor since the eleventh
century. Borne of the pilgrims are ac
commodated In rooms that resemble
well kept haylofts, and each one has a
locker, where he may sit during the
day and sleep at night. There Is a hos
pital there, too, with eighty beds, and
a special wing for those whose all
bents are not of a serious description.

called pure literature. lie turned out

CAHLYLG AND Cf.iERSON.
Rvlilrnce That Hither Hirer ferl
ouslr Stndlea Christianity.
The grave charge Is to be brought
against both Carlj le and Emerson that,
while they were the product of Chris
tian civilization nnd drew the sub
stance of their message from the ri
llglim faith of their people, there Is
tin evidence thnt either ever seriously
studied Clirlslfimlty. The greatest
phenomenon In tiuninn history engages
lint lightly the attention or tho enthu
siasm of either, nor doe either fathom
tho need of the humanity thnt has
risen on tho strength of the gospel of
Christ. It was the dim perception of
this fact thnt led l-ord Jeffrey to re
mark to Cttrlyle thnt he went about
ns f hn were to found a new religion.
No one had done anything for tnnn's
soul until be enme. One can hardly
read the correspondence of Cnrlyle and
F.iucrsMii without the feeling of their
excessive cniiHcqncntlnlnes In the
presence of the Immense historic
achievement of spiritual r?enlus; In the
presence of the spirit, the teaching nnd
tho Influence of Jesus. Ilolh were es
sentially modest men, and yet they
lived In the sense of a uniqueness and
an Importance which they do not pos
sess. They tire both frequently oracu
lar when uttering with literary distinc
tion only the commonplace moral wis
dom of the Christian world. It Is
valid criticism upon Carlyle and Emer
son that they fulled to recognise the
ns k whence they were hewn and that
they did not exhaust the quarry; that
they were oblivious of the pit whence
they were digged, nnd that the precious
metal remained after they wero taken
out In boundless abundance. Her.

The Maple Death In Rnclaad.
In England the black denth In the
fourteenth century made Its first ap
pearanco In Dorsetshire and quickly
spreading over tho west It reached Lon
don by way of Oxford, leaving death
nnd desolation behind It everywhere.
It was ns fatal In the country as In the
town. Whole villages were depopulat
ed and small towns almost wiped out
of existence. The dead lay unburied
ns they had died, fnr priests had been
swept away with their flocks, nnd In
ninny parishes there was no one left to
celebrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended In the universal
terror nnd suspense.
To add to the horror of the times
bands of marauders roamed about un
molested, robbing nllko the dend and
the living, nnd dogs, deprived of their
masters by death, came together In
packs, made ferocious by hunger, and
scoured the country like so many bands
of wolves.
A Story of "Old Ironsides."
One of tho most famous of the Con
stitution's exploits was during the war
of 1812, when she escaped from Brake's
squadron, among which she hnd acci
dentally fallen. The sea was almost a
dead calm, so Captain Hull bad to re
sort to towing. All her boats were
lowered, with long lines attached, and
In addition Hull bad ropes spliced to
gether to make a line half a mile long,
to which he attached a kedge anchor.
This was carried In a boat half a mile
ahead and dropped, when the crew
hauled the ship rapidly forward. The
commodore of the English squadron
soon adopted the same tactics, nud If
It had not been for a breeie springing
up the Constitution would have been
captured.
The Shark File (he Feather.
Speaking of sharks to an old sailor,
I first heard the proverb "The shark
flics the feather." It appears to be
true. We are acquainted with the
voracity of the shark. When follow
ing a ship It will devour without dis
crimination any article that may be
thrown overboard, such as cordage,
cans, cloth, wood, shoes, knives, spoons,
forks, plates, etc., but sailors declare
that It will never touch a pilot fish or
a fowl, either alive or dead. It avoids
sea gulls, sea mews, petrels and every
feathered thing. Such being the case,
why do not people who bathe in shark
Infested waters wear a suit made of
feathers? New York Press.
Emphasising; a Fact.
There are peculiarities, Idiosyncrasies
of expression, which emphasize and
accentuate facts. It Is not enough to
say, 'he Is deaf." We lnvarlubly add,
"as a post." It would appear sufficient
to say, "he is blind," but we prefer In
nearly all cases to admit of no contra
diction by announcing that be Is "stone
blind." To be "dead" should suffice;
"dead as a doornail" clinches the fact

New York Pawnbrokers.
In New York the pawnbroker Is com

fore offering pawned articles for snle.
During the Inst month of this period
the merchandise must be so advertised
that the ierson who pawned the goods
may recognise them as his property
from the description given In tho pub

As an Instance of tho severity of the
court against any Infraction of this
rule a pawnbroker who loaned a cer
tain Indy $0,000 upon a valunblo neck
lace valued at $12,000 and nt the expi
ration of the required limit sold the
Jewels without specifying explicitly
enough so that tho lady was enabled to
recognise and redeem her property the
New York court ordered that the lender
pay to the Indy $J,00 and a year's In

A Cartons Hoyal Custom.
When any Spanish sovereign dies, the
body Is at once submitted to the proc
ess of fosslllsntlon, nor can it be placed
In tho royal pantheon until the body
has been absolutely turned into stone.
Curiously enough, the period required
for fosslllzatlou varies considerably.
Some royal bodies have become solidi
fied In a very short period, while others
have taken years before the fosslllza
tion took place. It took exactly thir
teen years to convert the body of the
father of Alfonso XIII. of Spain Into
stone.
Rldlnsr Ana With the Bride.
In many of the border counties of

bridegroom still rides away on a foam
lug steed with his bride behind blm as
In the good old days. The brides pre

Th War the tlreitt Rmperor Charles

The diary of a German gentleman,
Bartholomew Sustrow, who lived In
the times of the Emperor Charles V.,
gives us a good Idea of the gnstrouom
Ic custom of those times. Host row's
description of the tiililn linhlts of the
rrcatcst ruler In his day Is very Inter
esting. Young princes nnd counts served the
repast. There were Invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor
bad no one to curve for him. He be
gan by cutting his bread In pieces
large enough for one 'mouthful, then
attacked his plate, lie often used his
fingers while he held the plate tinder
his chin with the other hand.
When he roll thirsty he made a sign
to the "doctor" standing by the table;
then they went to the sldehonrd for
two silver flagons nnil filled a goblet
which held about a measure and a
half. The emperor drained It to the
last drop, practically nt one draft.
During the meal he never uttered a
syllable, scarcely smiled at the most
amusing sallies of the Jesters behind
his chair, finally picked his teeth with
quills nnd, after washing his hands,
retired to a window recess, where nny
body could approach blm with a peti

Cartuace' Great Snake,
The ancients firmly believed In mon

the wars with Carthage a great snake
Is suld to have kept the Roman army
from crossing tlio Iiagrados river for
several days. Tbo monster swallowed
up no less than seventy Roman soldiers
during this combat and was not con
quered until a hundred stones from as
many different catapults wero fired
upon It all at one time. The monster
skull and skin wero preserved nnd
afterward exhibited In ono of the
Roman temples. Tbe dried skin of
tbe creature was 120 feet In length, ac

of this was, it is said, that a new race
of birds was introduced, and tbo beau

In the bold of his Dutch ship In 1631
to the Delaware river, so tickled the
fancy of the Indians with these odd
looking articles that he bought a large
tract of land, afterward named tbe
Vnlley of the Swans, from the red
skins with a barrel of bis Edam
cheeses. After the cheese had been
devoured the gentle aborigines repent
ed themselves of their rash specula
tion and a month later massacred tbe
entlro Dutch colony."
Irish Wit.
I must admit that Irish wit Is often
of the most mordant and even sar
donic kind. Was there ever a more
sardonic stroke of description than
that O'Connell gnve of Peel's blood
lessness? "His smile was like tbe sil
ver plate on a coffin."
Of another and lower quality, bnt
good of its kind. Is the following fish
wife's sarcasm: A friend of mine was
waiting his turn to be served In a fish
shop while a little weazened old gen
tleman priced every fish In the shop.
"How much Is this and this and this
and this?" etc., till tbe exasperated
sbopwomau exclaimed: "Ah! Go on
out of that wid ye! It Isn't fish ye
want but information r London An
swers. Babies' Crrlnar.
The Instant a child is born it cries.
This Is a providential expansion of tbe
lungs nnd not ns many suppose, an in
dication of suffering or pnln. Well de
veloped, well formed and healthy ba
bies cry lustily at birth, while the
weak child has a feeble little cry. For
the first few months the cry Is tear
less, and It Is not till the second year
that lachrymal or tear ducts are fully
developed. After that there Is a co
pious shedding, and a very slight cause
will lead to crying.
