A lamp over- hangs the table, and sometimes summer evenings, it is black with in- sects that cling to the globe in such numbers as to obscure the light. Here. to, the wondering stranger will lie able to note how little the idea of caste seems in some way to have taken root in Russia. A begâ€" gar will appear at the table during luncheon and pour out his pi'teous tale, or the little son of one of the innumerable male servants will apâ€" proach and play, and the members of the family, instead of sending him away. will call out to him.

LACK OF PRIVACY. _\\lhat strikes a stranger after a. short visit to this house is the utter want of privacy. For as the build- is only one storey high, it is ob- vious that to go from one and to the other it will be necessary to pass along a. corridor or to go through various rooms. Where the corriâ€" ‘dor exists it is fairly wide, and in order to ac'conuuodute all the mem- bers of this very numerous house- hold certuin portions have been se- parated by means of curtains, and are assigned as bedrooms to the maid servants. Hero, of course, dilute is the minimum of privacy, es- perinlly for those who wish to re- ,tire at 10 o'clock in a land where little account is taken of the hours, and where it not unl‘requently hap- pens that night is turned into day by rmelers and card players. But, exrept for the father and mother of the family, no one is really much better on”. The bedrooms are all at one corner of the building; the boys sleep in one, the daughters in th ‘ot‘hor, and in one of them a. thir _of the room has been shut off by a ,screen for the governess. There are inn keys in the locks. so that any ,01:e in the family who is given to sleep-walking may stroll into any ,room and leave. the door open be- tbe position of teacher is very astronomy, physical analysis, cation." for it on a scale that; would excite astonishment in England. But the houseâ€"keeper is not allowed to dine with the family. The val-et‘s hate her because she has stopped them fighting for the food as soon as it has been taken from the table, and, of course, she does not dine with the servants, and loud are the la- nmntations that she sometimes utâ€" ters, as she presides over the saino- 1n var, of the lonliness of her lot this well-peopled house. She speaks Polisdi, Russian, lerm-an, French and in the true spirit of a linguist is anxious to add English to the list. ___+.__._ Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot“ reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam- ed you have arumbling sound or tru- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for- ever.
