When the snows of winter melt la
Eossta land the woods are fragrant
with violets and the Ice in great masses
floats down the rivers to the sea the
peasant who Is on the threshold of ok)
age, tired of long Inaction, comes forth
from hla laba' and looks abroad.
Strange thoughts hare been stirring In
him fir several months, recollections of
a VOW that be once made that, if hear
en willed, he would one day worship In
a certain monastery and there venerate
the relics of Its saints. For many a
long year It seemed as if this vow
wouk never be fulfilled, for there was
Wprk to do In the village of which he
could tn no way rid himself, and still
more pressing was the burden of a
numerous family that could not be left
But now the children have grown up
and can fend for themselves, and the
father and mother are no longer of the
same value to tbe community as lhbor-
Indeed Were they to quit the vil
lage they would not be much missed.
One way, however, remains for them
to redeem their lost position and to en
title themselves for the rest of their
jives to the respect of all their neigh
bors. It Is to go on a far distant pil
grimage. Innumerable are the sacred places In
Russia and out of Russia which the
pilgrims visit On the sterile tundras
that end In the lonely strand where the
waves of the White sea fling their foam
upon the walls of the Solovetsky mon
astery; on the qunjs of Odessa, await
ing the steamer that will carry them to
Jaffa, or on the monotonous Btralght
roads that for veret upon verst lead by
forests of white stemmed birch or som
ber pine to the resting place of St
Serge, near Moscow, or of the saints
who sleep In the catacombs of Pet-
chersk at Kiev, there may be seen
bands of pilgrims, staff In hand, Jour
neying on foot, through poverty or lu
accordance with a vow, to their far-
off goal. The men often wear clumsy
but comfortable shoes of plaited bark,
Stockings fastened round the leg with
string, breeches reaching to the knees
and wide, baggy, flowing coats attach
ed to the waist with a colored belt
The women have a colored underskirt,
a short dress and bodice all in one and
a bright bued handkerchief wrapped
round tbe bead, a knapsack on the
bock end a gourd or kettle fastened
to a girdle. But tbe . costumes are
very various, and It would be Impossi
ble to describe them all.
These pHgrlms beg for money com
paratively rarely. They hove the self
respect and independence which befit
people presumably so pious. Perhaps
tbey have 6aved for this pilgrimage for
many years; tbey are hardy up to the
lost degree. At night tbey Bleep where
they can, In a monastery or perhaps in
sheds that have been erected for them
by the road, and when they wish to
drink tbey stop and ask for water at a
peasant's hut, rcbere they are re.2ct
fully received. If they are Bhort of
bread the poor monjlk will give them
some, if be 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 bas described
a pilgrim to the-Holy Land who found
a whole family dying of starvation and
set them up again. And w hen Satur
day arrives, and all good people are
bound by their religion to tako a bath,
then men and women will plunge into
the river regardless of the want of
bathing machines and careless of all
bathing regulations. -
Glad, after this Interminable march
of many weeks. Is the Russian pilgrim
When bo sees far-off, flashing against
the asure sky, the domes of the church
es of tbe holy places where he Is 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, he approach
es eagerly, for be 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 the pilgrims do to In
crease Russian Influence and her repu
tation in the Holy Land. At Solovet
sky there Is a hotel with sloping coun
ters that serve as a resting place. At
the lavra of Petcbersk, the oldest of the
Russian monasteries,, there has been
a house for the poor since the eleventh
Century. . Some of the pilgrims are ac
commodated in rooms that resemble
well kept haylofts, and each one bas a
locker, where ho may sit during the
day and sleep at night.' There Is a hos
pital there, too, with eighty beds, and

Tbe confederate by the target slight

A Myattaed Crow.
During a piazza game of plngpons
one of the balls waa sent quite a dis
tance out over the lawn, where a crow
seized U and bore It off In triumph, ev
idently thinking it was an egg. After
much pecking, from all of which the
frolicsome little ball bounced away un
broken, the crow had an excited con
sultation with several of his fellows
and then deliberately carried the ball
to the top of a high tree and let It drop.
Again tbe assembly of black feathered
experimenters gathered around In
amazement Was there ever such a re
markable egg? It had fallen from a
height that played havoc with their
eggs and their little ones as well and
yet survived Intact! Then one after
another tramped on It cawing loudly
all the while.
At Inst, In sheer exhaustion and dis
gust, they all gave It up, flew to the
top of their favorite tree, and, still
cawing loudly, watched one of the
plngpong players come out from the
bouse and carry off this invincible egg
that hnd baffled their boldest attacks.
Babrktna and Hla Friend.
Babyklns had a little friend that used
to come to visit hlrn once a week. It
was the day of the" week when the
nursery was swept. Nursle would put
the glass from the bureau down upon
the floor while she was dusting and
putting things awny, and then it was
that this other little Babyklns came.
It was a dear little Babyklns that
had curly hair waving over its iieed.
Babyklns would creep up close to the
glass, but be never could touch the lit
tle visitor.
One day Babyklns thought he would
creep around behind tbe glass and have
a romp with the dear Babyklns who
lived there. Oh, he was so disappoint,
ed! What do you suppose was there?
Nothing at all but tbe back of the
es ! Babyklns made haste to creep
back again to the front. of tbe glass,
and there was tbe visitor.
Babyklns played with him until
nursle came and took the glass away.
Then Babyklns little friend went too,
for another week. Babyland.
Questions Por Boys and Glrla.
If you are good at guessing or an
swering here are a few questions you
can wrestle with:
Yqu can see any day a white horse,
but did you ever see a White colt?
How many different kinds of trees
grow In your neighborhood, and what
are they good for? .
Why does a horse eat grass backward
and a cow forward?
Why does a hop vine wind one way
and a bean vine the other?
Where Bhould a chimney be the lar
ger, at the top or bottom, and why?
Can you tell why a horse when teth
ered with a rope always unravels It
While a cow always twists It Into a
kinky knot? -
Cow old must a grapevine be before
It begins to bear?
Can yon tell why some leaves turn
upside down lust before a rain?
. What wood will bear the greatest
weight before breaking? Exchange.

His sister, seeing It waltzed around

"You have my candy, miss. Give It to
me!" be cried. "Brother," she answer

be Jonah." '

SMART SET FRIENDSHIPS.
Tfcey I'euallr Have m Tarpoae, So
cial, Political or Financial.
There are friends in what Is labeled
"the smart set" whose motto In life
would appear to be, "BanUh dull care,"
These are the people who give tboso
cheerful dinners where nobody cares a
ftp for precedence. Everybody takes
tils' fttflnlfy In to dinner. The host starts
Iff with the prettiest girl, and the host
ess Is taken down by some beardless
boy. It Is Liberty hall, with nicknames
for all present, abundance of "chaff"
and stories something more than risky.
They are all great friends, of course,
and call each other "dear things" and
know exactly how much Is meant by
that while they smile sweetly and say
"Cat!" In connection with most of them
behind their backs. Few of these so
called friendships In society are made
without a purpose, either political, so
cial or financial. The peeress wants a
' "tip" from the millionaire, either a
Stock Exchange tip or one affecting
coin or copper or whatever his special
line may be. Our "nloo" friends are
nice In so for as they are useful to us.
At the. same time, in Justice to society,
It ought to be pointed out that no one
Is taken In by these Interested friend
ships. The people who only make
friends calculating how much they will
benefit thereby are seen through by ev
erybody and disliked so openly that
only their toadies fall to let them see it

The Plnlshtntr Tench.
The small boy with his eyes open of
ten knows more of things as tbey are
than tho artist who draws things as
they are not. An Illustrator who is
winning laurels by bis fine work main
tains that his most valuable critic Is his
son, a boy of twelve.
Ho knows little about drawing, sys
the artist but he bas a quick sense for
beauty and a keen Imagination as well
Not long ago I had to make a drawing
or a street full of peoplo running to a
flra I flattered myself I had made a
llfellko and moving sceno and submit
ted it to my boy with a feeling of satis
faction. De surveyed it for a moment hands
tn his pockets, head on one side. Then
he said;
"Tbo people ore all right, but Where's
the dog?"
"The dog?" I Inquired. "What dogr
"Any dog," he said in a tone of pity
for my dullness. "Why, father, don't
you know there's always at least one
dog running alongside and getting un
der everybody's feet when you're going
to a fire? Haven't you ever been to a
fire, father, or eocn a crowd going to
one?"
When 1 thought It over I knew be
was right, and tho dog went in.

Sere Is a headache cure that Is said
to be a marvelous remedy and to re
lieve the sufferer when all else falls

the headache will be relieved and the
patient will be asleep. When the hand
kerchief becomes dry saturate again

who have tried everything else say
that this borne remedy relieves then
Colckest At any rate, it la worth tre
