Several district .Tasseiiiblies of the Govern- ment of Wologda have clhsed their ublic schools: some places they were 0 liged to do so for want of'funds; in other places they didit because the Government agents assumed the positions :school inspectors and principal managers, and this was not to the liking of n the population. Where the latter was the} the assemblies Voted to trim their public schools into parish schools. But~‘as according to the existing laws the ' h schools must hold their ses- sions in the church building, and thechurch-' es of those districts are preparedto accommo- date suoh institution, the schools are prac~ tically closed. In a hospital of Odessa. an experiment was made recently with Brown-Sequard’s “lymph which may prove of greatngi ific- to the medical science. n a patient suffering from scurvy the superin- tending physician resolved to trytberg mjec‘ :tion of Brown-Sequard’s lymph. After one week’s trial the patient’s condition ‘had im- proved. The injections were stopped, and his condition grew worse again. Then the medicine was applied again without inter- mission, and within three weeks his recovery was complete. The lymph was produced, at the laboratory of the physician who tried itgfrom the organs of domestic rabbits. On Feb. ll the smokeless powder factory, which the Government began buildingin St. Petersburg in last June, was opened. After the religious ceremonies, customary on such occasions, the machinery of the estab- lishment was put in motion, and work began at once. Between noon until 6 o’clock pm. eight poods (320 pounds) of smokeless pow- der of an excellent quality were manufacture ed. The Working capac1ty of the factory amounts at present to twentyw poode a day, {but this will be considerably increased when the annex, now in course of erection, is ready for the manufacture of pyroxyline on the premises. ' The Society for the Protection of Animals has awarded a medal to Mr. S. A. Khroostchofi‘ of St. Petersburg for the considerable man» her in which he keeps the horses which have done‘service for him. That gentleman is a member of the brandy distilling firm of Kel- ler & Co. He has caused a special hospital to be built for horses which have grown old in the servide of the distillery. There are at present three horses there. One of them, named Selim, is twenty-two years old, and has been at Work in the distillery about sev- enteen years. V The other inmates of the in- stitution are Maltchik, twenty-nine years old and retired for the last six years, and Starik Syeday, 30 years old, and cht on charity for the last seven years. His head has grown to abnormal proportidns in some parts ; of his te th only the roots are left. He spends the greatest part of the day lying in bis‘stall, and when thelattermust be clean. ed.he is helped to get up with an appliance made specially for the purpose. 'VVhen he is put on his legs he is led about in the yard for sometime, two men walking by his side to supporthim. He is fed on oats, flour, and chopped hay. ' - Graelidanin of St. Petersburg is quite des-, pondent about the religious state of the Russian people. “ In the higher spl-eres of ‘Bussian society,” the editor moans, “ there 'is a constant and successful propaganda of all sorts of heresies going on, from the oldest heresies down to those which are promulgat- ed by Tolstoi. Among the intelligent peo- ple religion has ceased to be a subject of. earnest consideration, and among the lower classes‘of society many millions can be found upholding false doctrines and adhering to false beliefs. Whither we go to preach rc- ligion_fateful powers stand in-our way. W'e went to enlightened Bulgaria and behold dark and bloody shadows covered that/land ! We carried religious truth to Abyssinia and the waves of theses drove our vessels back. from the African shores. We desired to spend our religious solicitude on Jerusalem, on the very tomb of our Saviour, and trouble and contention among our own foiled our odorts. , VAlas ! it seems that the hand of ‘the Almighty Himself inflicts such painful WOllndS on the bleeding Russian heart.” The illustrious editor of Grazhdanin Prince Mestchersky, writes an editorial two columns long in this heartrending strain. Ever since the Crimean war many of the populous thoroughfares of Odessa have been undermined. In 1884 a law was framed by the municipal council (dooma), making it obligatory upon, every landlord to fill up the mine which opens from his premises. But obedience to that law was never insisted CHAPTER IV. I betwaen the ring and the bird than this ap- I hurried home with the desecrated ring pesl of Agatha’s. It sounds absurd when in my pocket.
