should be taken up and shaken once
year, and If the room is a common one,
twice or more. Whenever carpet Is
taken up it should be carefully examined,
and If any places are burned OF worn tney
should be carefully darned with the ravel s

very much by guarding the entrance

tins climax she approaches by carefully prepared
steps, sparing her voice greatly In the opening
scenes but indicating by many subtle strokes ana
delicate hints the imminence OF the coming catas-
trophe. In her Lucia there are little symptoms OF
an unstable mind from the very beginning of the drama
and the horrible ending seems only the natural develop

Dramatically therefore her representation is remark

A Russian Winter Fair.

But the third class of Russian fairs 7
have to mention is the only n really
deserving the name, and that is the Win

fair on the ice of the River Neva. There
you see races with sledges and skates.
and with horses, dogs, goats and stays
harnessed to different kinds of sIedge
vehicles. They also have their horizon
tai roundabouts, and their perpendicular
h~lgh-fyers, like sedan chairs, going up
III the air and down again. But the
grand amusement of all is that of the
ice hills" They are thus constructed:
A strong scafolding is raised to the
height OF thirty feet, with a landing at
the top, assembled by a ladder. From
the top of the landing a sloping plane of
boards is laid, about twelve feet in
width, and ninety feet long. descending
ID a very acute angle to the surface Of
the frozen river. This inclined plane is
supported by wooden piles, decreasing
III height, and the sides are protected BY
a parapet of planks. Upon the inclined
plane are laid square slabs of ice close
together, and then water is poured all
down the slope. This water freezes

is quite enough for that-and the incline
then presents a broad sheet of pure ice.
From the bottom of this incline the snow
IS cleared away upon the level surface OF
the frozen river for the distance of 600.
feet, and twelve feet wide (the same
width as the inclined plane. The sides
OF this level eoufserare ornamented with
dark green frs and pines. Each fair
goer who wishes to indulge in this na-
t1onal amusement provides himself with
a peculiar sort of sledge-more like a
butchers tray than anything else
ascends the ladder to the landing on the
top, seats himself In his tray on the edge
OF the gllttering incline, off he goes!-and
away he skeels down the slope OF iceI
velocity does he attain before ar,
irving atthe bottom that he'is not only
carried along about 600 feet of this lev
level below, but clean up to the top of a
second ice hill like the first, with another
slope on the other side, down which he
skeels with the same rapidity as before
Il away again to an equal distance on
the level below. The sight of a success

yet with no chance Of ofertakine each
other, unless by some unlucky and very
unusual upset, presents a most peculiar
and extraordinary scene. Wheneves the
balance does happen TO be lost by a man,
down he goes all the same, to the CON
tlnual peril of his limbs or his neck; and
1t is impossible to predict whereabouts
