His Lordship said the only paint he wanted raised was whether it was advisable for him to hear the case at once.

A BEAUTY FARM.

An “amazing marriage” has just taken place near Perm, in North-East Russin, on the estate of a wealthy retired distiller named Reshetnikoff

The bridegroom, a handsome peasant, named Vasilieff, of splendid physique, and the bride, a lovely girl of 18, were driven to church in M. Reshetnika's carriage, and given as dowry a large wooden coltage and a plot of land. Hundreds of persons witnessed the ceremony, and at the wedding breakfast M. Reshetnikoff delivered an eloquent speech, in which t welcomed "the second generation of his nurlings, who are to make of Holy Russia an Earthly Olympus peopled with Apollos, and Hebes."

The meaning of these strange proceedings is as follows. At the time of the Russo-Turkish war, M. Reshetnikoff, struck with the inferior, ill-nourished physique of many recruits, set aside annually out of his fortune the sum of 10,000 roubles for the purpose of eliminating the unfit by encouraging marriage only between young people of exceptional beauty, health, and intelligence.

To attain this end, he employed as workers os his estate only the handsomest and health- · iest villagers. These he encouraged to enter upon matrimony by free grants of land, pay ment of all marriage fees, and annuity of 30 roubles a year for every child born.

He succeeded in removing from his estate by rather harsh means all deformed and sickly persons, and attracted handsome giants from all parts of the province by granting them

valuable privileges. Those who refused to marry the partners he selected were uncere moniqusly deported.

Since the institution of this human beauty
