It consists of 269 vol umes of the works of tho alchemists, astrologers and other Hcrmetical phi losophers of the Middle Aires, gathered fcr Qen. Ethan A. Hitchcock while' pursuing the studies which resulted -in his "Remarks on Alchemy and the Alchemists," and other kindred works. The editions are chiefly of the" Seven teenth and the early half of the Eight eenth centuries, although some are much older, many of thorn being mao nscripts never printed, one of which bears date 1420, while others range from 1557 to 1907. Here is the Divine Prmander of Hermes Trismeoistus (the thrice (Treat d Mercury of the Egyptians), the icr of Horrnetio philosophy, and whose Writings are claimed to ante date thoeo of klcmet; here is a volume of the learned AJbertna Magnus, 11 84 1490i Friar Roser Bacon. 1214-1284. is well represented; we have Gebirl J anof Perfection," translated from ' 'erfection," translated from ' the Arabic of the Eighth century-lho I oldest book on chemistry proper tn the world.

It is remarkable that though (he bo- tanicol collection is largo, aud con tains many varieties, every plant is still to be found growing in the valley of the Nile. Moreover, tho closest ex amination fails to reveal the slightest difference between the plants thai flourished fifty centuries Ago and those which tho traveler sees today on the banks of the river.

It is ueaicable, there fore, that the Jprospcrous business man who finds hi chief delight while in the prime of life in tho daily round of cares end excitements incident to trade should limit tho hours riven to such labor and seek other associations and other occupations during tho hours of leisure. Then when the time comes for him to give up business ho may gradually increaso the time given to readme to self improvement to works of charity or publio improve ment and finds coual eniorment in those.

Their hospitality knows no limits; no trouble is too great when it is a question of obliging a foreigu visitor; . but, charming as they are, vou are constantly being re minded of the wild nam of their real underlying nature by the strange con trasts of delicacy and brutality, of civ ilization and barbarism, which their daily life offers. To hear the Hus sions talk about tho unwritten con temporary history of their social and national fife is Tike listening to tbt stories of "Arabian Nights.' The true narrative of BkobclrlTs career ana death, and the true narratLra of the circumstances of the asaoawnation of the late ctar, are far more thrilling and extraordinary than print hoe over told. . - . - . As an exarnrile of the strange con trasts of real Russia we will cite two anecdotos that wore related to us by distinguished official, whose Inunlfos was certainly not to throw dust in our yes, or even to astonish na beyond measuro.

The mention of Loris Melikoff brought upnnother anecdote. - fcxime twelro yrais ago tho euiueror sent for Muliho'J fetid annoucccii to Lim that tne plac WMsirir-ing in two vihi-.grs of tlio eiupire, ar:J enrl I dvr.

Loris MelikoiT then ponied to the villages in queation, and having observed the sit uation, telegraphed for twenty Are engines to be sent from the neigh boring towns, had the pumps charged with petroleum, and ordered the fire men to approach the villages by night inundate Uio cottages with petroleum, set them on fire, and savo nobody. Tho order was executed t Uie cottages and their few hundred inhabitant men, women, children and cattle wero burned to ashes, and these two villages disappeared from the map of Russia and from tho registers of the empire.. The measure was radical, but it stamped but the nlae-ue effectu ally. Loris Mel ikoff therefore reported to tho emperor that his. commands had been executed, and then called on the minister of finance to tell him that out of the credit of 60.000.000 rubles granted to him ho had spent only SOU rubles to buy petroleum, and that consequently his excellency the minister could dispose of the balance. In both tbeso stories, which we have reason to believe to be literally exact we find that curious mixture of the grandiose, of ostentation and of barbaric rocklornneas which are char actcrislio of the Russian temperament Tlioo.
