burg. Just before leaving the Russian
capital some of the officials of the city
gave a banquet In her honor. At the
end of the feast one of the Russian of
ficers, a nobleman of high rank, said to
Rachel In a bantering sort of way:
"We will not bid you 'goodby,' but
merely 'au revoir,' for we will soon be
In Paris to drink your health In spar

"Monsieur," replied Rachel, "France
Is not rich enough to treat all her pris
oners of war to champagne."

The Satan of the Greeks.
Tlie Greek conception of tlic evil one,
whom tbe.v call Yawn, makes that per
sonage one of the most satanic of the
whole evil tribe. According to theit
Ideas of him, he is 240 miles high and
the hairs on his body stand out like
palm trees on a mountain side. He
punishes the doomed being submitted
to his charge by putting them in beds
of boiling oil, sawing their bodies in
two, pouring molten lead in their ears
and such other little pranks as pulling
out their tongues, toe and finger nails
and gouging out their eyes. He Is a
heartless old fiend of the most fiendish
kind and has many other exquisite lit
tle tortures laid up for the helpless
wretch consigned to his "chamber of
horrors."

The Cent la Not Small.
With the exception of the English
penny, the cent is the largest minimum
unit of money in the civilized world.
Roughly speaking, our cent is worth 2
kopecks, 2 cents Mexican, Chinese and
East Indian. 2 atts or mllllemes. It Is
two and a half times larger than the
cent of the Netherlands or the kreutzer.
There are 4 pies, ore. or pfennigs to the
cent or 5 ban!, centesimi, lepta, heller,
pennia, centimes or stotinkl. A cent
Is worth 10 paras Turkish or 10 Japa
