The latest educational report issued in Russia shows that only about one-tenth of the children , . , the , empire attend , in school. The other nine-tenths are growing up in ignorance. An unusual number of icebergs dis¬ turbs the serenity of mind of the cap¬ tains of the Atlantic liners.

Tho New Y- .k ledger remarks that ' iun in all its phases is more popular in this country than in any other in Christendom,” and it goes on to re¬ mark that our national aspect, which is thought by foreigners to be grave and sedate, is exceedingly deceptive. It is estimated that $5,000,000 art expended annually in New York alone for orangoi, and throughout the United States the figure is placed at $25,000, 000, New York being included.

One the most uu:q io institutions •ver heard of is what h known as a “Poverty Society,” which was recently organized in Russia. The object of tho society ii to “popularize poverty among tho poor and teach them that their lot is not one to be repined at, since the first pleasure of fife can fio enjoyed in¬ dependently of money.” The promoters of tfiis scheme, it is almost needless to remark, are among those who have more than (heir share of tliii world's goods. A now railway system has come into use in Hungary which is receiving much attention.
