The richest man in. Russia, Nikolai Tercstchenko, has just died, in his eighty-ljfth year, leaving property valued at £20,000,000. For more than fifty years he iuul been one of the curiosities of Moscow, lie slept only four hours in the twenty-four, two hours at night, and two hours after luncheon. At 2 o'clock every -morning he had mass said in his room. At 0 o'clock he began work with his secretaries, eating nothing until noon, | when he took an. egg or a bowl of soup. He had only one solid meal a day, and that was at 10 o'clock at night. Though he was charitable, his benevolence was extended in unusual ways—as, for instance, in establishing homes for one-legg-ed and one-armed persons. It is said he wanted to found an asylum for mothers-in-law who were badly treated by sons-in-law, but that the police refused to sanction the scheme. His son, who inherited the vast fortune, died at Monte Carlo of consumption the day after his father's death. Gone!! "Vanquished!! Absolutelycured ! ! The old man's Cough is gone.
