The clasp granted to Lieut. Ar- thus Martin Leake, R.A.M.Q., to the Victoria Cross which he won in the (South African war is the first ever awarded in the history of that supreme decoration. "his ordained that anyone who, after 'having received the Cross, shall again perform an set of :brav- ery, which, if he had not• received such Cross, would have entitled him to it, such further act shall be re- corded ,by a Bar attached to the •riband by whioh the •Crass is sus- pended, and for every additional act of bravery an additional Bar may be added." This is the passage in the Royal tVarrant of I''ebruary 5, 1856, es- tablishing the Victoria Cross, which provides for a possibility which bas now been realized. Lieut. Martin Leake, who won the Cross for gallantry at Vlalefon- te!in in 1902, was then ser?ving with Baden-Powell'ss Police, having gone out to South Africa with the Hert- fordshire, Yeomanry.' He is a medical man, trained at University College Hospital, and on his return to England he went into private practice at Ware, Hertfordshire. In September last he re-entered the army and was given a commission in the R.A,M,C. It has frequently been stated that Ol:asps have been won by heroes in the past, but the "Gazette" con - tams no record of such an event. • The late Sir Charles John Stanley Gough, one of two famous brothers who won the Cross in the Indian Mutiny, was treated with possess- ing three Bars. It is true that he. was decorated for no fewer than four conspicuous and separate acts of bravery, one of which was saving the life of his brother, Lieut. Hugh Gough, who also won +the V.C., but he was not gazetted until October 21, 1859, when these various riots were enumerated. Major Berryman, a Crimean vet- eran, 'who was "mentioned" for his !bravery on four occasions, was an- other V.O. wearer supposed to pos- sees a Bar, but he himself denied it. If London Starved. Facing the -almost impossible con- tingency of London 'being 'block- aded, and upon starvation rations, one wonders whether the animals n the Zoo, at Regent's Park, would be slaughtered, as was the case with all the animals in the Parisian Zoo in 1870—some 45 years ago— during tbe- siege of the Gay City, says London Answers, Bearsteaks and elephant cutlets were regarded as the greatest of luxuries, alter the ordinary courses of a menu of the farmyard description had long since become, unpurchasable. The prices that poultry and other arti- cles fetched seem beyond belief. Turkeys cost 100 francs (04) each, and upwards. A goose would fetch 00 francs, while a'sovereign was the price .for a little fowl, Vegetables were equally expensive, and those who indulged in the luxury of car- rots, turnips, and potatoes had to pay as much as fivepence each for the two firsb-named, while the com- mon or garden "spud" would fetch as much as a couple of pounds aterl- ing per bushel. The feline quadru- ped was in great demand, and oats were disguieed in many a pie as rabbits, while the - flesh of dogs was worth half-a-crown a pound, and of horses three tofour' shillings.

RUSSIAN MOUJ1K* AT HOME IN`1'EJl1,S`l'INal PEN • PICT URE OF WS LISJ. The Bearded Fellow Believes in God, the Tau' and Ills Native Country. T1az'a is no country in the world which numbers amongst its inhabit- ants so many different nationalities as the vast Empire which stretches from, the Baltic in the West to the Piteldo in the East, and from the Polar regions in the North to the tropical countries in the ,South -- England's ally, Russia, But the greater part of its 175,- 000,000 population;, the bulk of the Russian people, are the 100,000,000 2i.ussian peasants, or, as they are generally palled "the Moujilss." Although scattered in a country with climates of the greatest var- iety, they are very similar in habita and oilstones, and what can he said of theMoujik in cold Siberia is true of the 'South Russian peasant. A Child of Nature. Civilization, as it is understood in this country, has not made its way vet to the Russian Moujik; lee is stili very much a child of Nature. Love, hatred, joy, and sorrow he shows without disguise; he is not violent in the expression of any emotion, yet he feels deeply. He is not emotional, but always inclined to melancholic contemplation; ; per- severing, even obstinate, yeb eas- ily persuaded and easily led any- where; cunning, and at the same time simple-minded, and with a child's faith. The !Slav character at its best can be observed in that big, bearded fellow who . believes in God, the Tsar, and his country. What are his needs in lifer A small two or three roomed house, a small field, some cattle—and ire is satisfied. If he is not hungry, if he has a shelter over his head without the rain passing through it, he con- siders himself happy. Greediness, passion for ;money, is very rare antbog the Moujiks; all his atn!bi• bions and dreams are another acre of land, one more horse or ox. A. large family is not considered a burden, as every member, whe- ther mrale or female, works and helps. Therefore, early marriages, such as are unknown in other coun- tries, are very frequent. Fathers of nineteen and mothers of even a younger age are not rare. The pa- triarchal family life still exists; the father is head of the ,family, his de- cisions being indisputable. When the son married, if nut liv- ing separately, he brings his wife to his parents, so that the hus- band's family is always the winner by getting a new working member. Marriages a'r'e still contracted in very many cases by the ,choice' of the parents, and the parties whom it most concerns are seldom con- sulted. Yet such marriages are n r less happy than those in which the choice is given to the young people themselves. 'With Few Pleasures. The amusements of the Moujik are very few. Dances in the long winter evenings, -where many a, love affair 'begins to 'bud, by the music of accordeons, or "harmonicas," the Russian national instrument, girls' choirs, or the ,Famous "Kho- rovods" in summer, with a few quaint customs, such as masquer- ading at 'Christmas, fortune-telling on the eve of New Year's day, that is all which relieves the monotony of the village life. Owing to the vast area of Rus- sia, and the 'few railways, thous- ands upon thousands of villages are at a great distance from the bustle of oiby life. The visit of` a nomadic sner'chant who, 'travels about in his cart all the year round with a stook of wares to villages in this or that province, covering thousands of miles, is quite an event in the monotonous life of the village population. The newspaper is still a luxury to •the Russian Mou- jik; and all news of the outer world is broughb to hen by these mer - clients. .The Moujik is patriotic, but his patriotism does not resemible 'what it generally understood by this word. He is not Imperialistic; he does not think of the extension of his country. Firstly, because he knows she is enormous; secondly, he thinks that nothing exists out- side her is worth having. He is very peaceful; a warlike spirit is a thing unknown to him; but if he is ordered to fight for his country, he Will go doggedly forward, If push- ed back, he will resettle las anarch —never tiring, never despairing — with obstinate constancy. lie will die without hatred and without re gret, as he knows it is for his "lit- tle another," Russia. A New Era.• The ,great curse of the Moujik, easily explained and, perhaps, for- given, is the "vodlea.'' The amount o.f "vodka" consumed a year in Russia ie appalling. But, as said before, the Motijike. especially the older man, know of no amusement, and 1eaz only tleastae where they ey could drown -their sorrow was the glass of "iodka•" The recent pro• hibibion of the ,Government sale of "vodka" has already shown a fireat improvement in the life of the Moue jik, rind will, perha'p's, be the turnr ing point of his existence. The Russian rM:oirjik of the future will have the qualities and virtues of his predecessor, without his evils. Education and "civilization" will not ,spoil his most valued treas- ure : a kind heart. "IN DEATH'S DAIII( VALE." Scottish Privates Prayed es Gee. mans Surrounded Town. The scene was in the loft of a Belgian house, tate characters three Scottish privates and a corporal, cut_ off during a hurried retreat be- fore an invading •:horde of Germans. AU that was left for the four men to do was to lie low while the enemy were burning, looting, and killing in the street below, and this is their story a'a told in the Sot- tish U.F. Church Record :-?For hours they waited amid all the ter- rible sounds of war and carnage, venturing only to guess as to what Was transpiring outside. Suddenly the corporal said, "Lads, it's time for church parade; let's Pae a wee bit service 'here ; it may be oor last," He took out a small Testament from his breast pocket, "Canna we sing something first. Try your hand at the 23rd Psalm. Quiet, noo—very quiet," and the four men sang: ' "Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear none ill; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod And staff my coanfort still." Then the corporal began reading: "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground with- out your Father. But the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, therefore; ye are of snore value than many sparrows." Shouts rose from below, doors banged, and glass was smashed, but he went on: "He that findeth his life shall 'lose it; and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it." He ended, "We mann finish it oot. Let us pray." The corporal stood, the ethers knelt. While he prayed a heavy hand thrust open the door, and they heard an exclamation of surprise. Not a man moved, and the cor- poral went calmly on. They heard the click of heels that told them a German officer was standing at attention. For a moment the sus- pense lasted, and then carne the soft closing of the door. No one else came near them, and at dusk the four men ventured forth and managed to regain the British lines. RAS BC1,L14T IN BEAM'. Some Stories of Wounded Soldiers Now is London :hospital. Among the many curious cases of wounds which have been investi- gated by the X-rays at St. Bartho- lomew's Hospital in London is one in which a German bullet was found imbedded in the muscular part of a soldier's. heart. The radiographer who located the bulllet said that it entered the man's 'left shoulder and burrowed downward. The amazing feature of the case was that after- the soldier had been bit he walked for a mile and a half to an ambulance. He did not realize that be was wounded, he said, until he saw a few splashes of blood. The bullet was not removed, and the man Jived afterward. This is by nc means an isolated case of a .man 'living, and even of following seine occupation, with a,. foreign body in a vital part. Two interesting radiographs in the lab- oratore. at St. Bartholomew's Hos- pital illustrate this. One is of a German bullet imbedded in the right lung, It ,measures about one and a quarter inches long, and the delineation is perfect, The other shows a number of pieces of dhr:ap- nel in the skull cavity at the base of the eye underneath the blain.

(I�,} �•C Il.Il1 ! Pleture of g Scottish Cnogregeti.on a Century Ago. Only.. very lately, a recent writer declares, hes it ceased to 'be cus- tomary in Scotland fur a ,Scottish shepherd to be accompanied into church by his celiiee, Even now, theettendance of a discreet dog or se is not infrequent, and passes: without criticism; but the privileg- ed animals must 'be of quiet and ir•• reproachuble'bsliavier, Conditions that were common a century ago would to -day excite the horror of worshippers no more tattle' pious than their grauclfathers, and in mast requirements of religious de- corum 'far less rigid. Dr. R&!beet Russell of Yarrow Kirk has drawn an unseeing rand amusing!picture of the country congregation, human and canine, as it used to ;be,. "There were no doors on the pews," he exclaims, '''and nothing but a norrow deal as a footboard, and no separation below between them; and itcaneasily !be imagin- ed that when the shepherds from Ettrick and Yarrow casae to !church each shepherd -was ' accompanied by his dog .and snugly wrapped in his plaid—no matter what the weather or the season ---what crows there were, • "On the slightest growl, the dogs all pricked up their ' ears. IT a couple fell out and showed lght ib was the signal for a general melee I The rest that were .prowling .about, or half asleep at their master's feet, rushed from their lairs, found a way through below the pews, and among the feet of the occupants, and raised a dust that fairly envel- oped them. Then the rstrife waxed fierce and furious; the noise 'be- came deafening, the voice of the minister was literally drowned, and he was fain eo ,pause, whether in preaching or in prayer. "Two or three shepherds had to leave their places and use their ni'bbies unmercifully before the rout was quelled and the service re- sumed." When the belligerent animals re- frained from interrupting the ser- vice, they frequently went to the other extrema and participated in it joining in the 'singing of the psalms with long -drawn howls. The benediction, as a matter of course, was always pronounced -with the people seated "to cheat the dowgs" ; then, at the first move- ment after it, -a perfect storm of barking + broke out as the dogs pour- ed out of the building ahead of the people." It was often inconvenient for the shepherds to leave their collies Ibe- hind, and it was long 'before the dogs' were excluded by order, One minister. gave great offense through placing such emphasis on the Scriptural words, "Without, are dogs," as pointedly to suggest the inference that he considered their presence withia the church distinct- ly undesirable. FINDS IN THE TRENCHES. Valuable Articles Are Sontetiwes Picked l'p By Soldiers. From time to time some extraor- dinary lucky finds have been come upon by our soldiers when trench - digging. .A sergeant in the Black Watch informed the writer that two of his men, when digging some deep trenches near a ruined peasant's cottage in the neighborhood ofathe Yser, •Same upon abig ;pile of Eng- lish, French, and German gold and silver coins, the total value of which was close on $500. The men divided the spoils between them., and that very night both were wounded, and in three days were sent to England, taking their find with them, The ,peasant's cottage had been in ruins for several years, and the coins had evidently been placed there a good time ago, for none of them bore a more recent date than 1850. A girl typist in a London office recently received from her 'brother at the front a• gold and enamel necklace, which he found in a trench his company had captured from the Germans, and which had apparently been dropped there by one of its previous occupants. The necklace •turned out a valuable find. The girl's employer, who had some knowledge of the value of antique works of art, noticed he necklace on the girl, who told him how it had come into her possession. He told her that it was probably 200 years old, and of a design that was ex- tremely valuable. The girl then had it valued by an expert, who valued it at about $1,000. In another 'trench captured by the ,Germans one of oar soldiers found it beautiful gold cigarette. case, exquisitely ohased and bear- ing some word's in !Gerlman which Tommy eo'uld not read. Later his effioer read them ;for him, and ex- plained 'that they meant that the ease had !been a present from the 'German Emperor to some officer, "Well," said Tommy, with a cltuelkle, "perhaps I may cnvpnbee old KStant, Bill by -offering Irian a cigarette out of his !bloombr' lovely box when we catch him I" THE SUNO Y CRROOL STUDY INTERNATIONAL LESSON, APIIIl i 11.
