SUPPORTED THREE HORSES.
The wages of the workers in the shel- tered trades of this country are 100 per cont above the pre-war level-some per cent, more than is needed to meet the present increased cost of living, and as these high wages in the sheltered trades go into the index figure of the cost of living they thus breed a vicious circle..... On the other hand, the wages of the workers in the unsheltered trades are only 60 per cent. above the pre-war rates, or 18 per cent. less than the increase in the cost of living,

END OF A MOSCOW CONVENT. A SURVIVAL OF IMPERIAL RUSSIA.
The Bolshevik authorities, says the Riga correspondent of The Times, have recently discovered a small, benevolent institution at Moscow under the name of "The St. Martha and St. Mary Convent, which has hitherto escaped the attentions of the Soviet liquidators and has thus survived the various storms of the revolution Until a few weeks ago it continued un- astentatiously to carry on its charitable work, though all other institutions of a similar nature had been nationalized or liquidated. It has now been exposed by, n Communist nnned Zorich, and the authorities have directed to it the atten tion of their liquidating commission.
This convent was founded during the war by the Grand Duchess Serge for the purpose of ministering to the sick and unfortunate. The convent established a small buspical and opened a dispensary. These have continued their work until the present time, having in some inexplic able way managed to become affiliated to Moscow University
The most serious charge now brought against this institution is that it still serves as a refuge, and an outlet for the "old-style work of charity of such promi ent persons as the widow of ML Gordiell, a former Governor, Princess Galitzin, and others. The Proto-Hierarch Berebrian: sky; who acted as spiritual, lather to the conrent, has been banished to the Nary district of Siberia, bis chief offence being that he openly stated that the convent not only reared the sick, but also ad ministered spiritual comfort to the fallen and afflicted.**
