private gallery up behind the carving ut
tho top Of the knights stalls, from
which, after reaching 1t by the aid Of 0

USEFUL HINTS.

USE fresh water Water which has
stood III IN open dish over night should
not be used for cooking or drinking,
asst will have absorbed many foul gases.
MIX little carbonate of soda with the
water in which flowers are immersed,
and it will pref erye thom for fortnight.
Common saltpetor is also a very good
preseryatiye.
Common soda is excellent for securing
tin, rs it will not scratch the tin, and
will mako it look like new. Apply with
piece OF moistened newspaper ana
polish with q dry piece. Wood ashes
are Il good substitute.
TAKE Il new flower pot, wash it clean,
wrap IN wet cloth, and set over butter,
will keep it as hard as if on ice. Milk.

one, will keep sweet for long time, ii
well wrapped in wet cloth.

scnce OF bergamot, ono dram and hall;
essence of 0mbergris and millelcur, OF

To DESTROY ANTS. Take carbolic
acid diluted with water-take one part

syringe throw this liquid into all the
cracks and holes where they nest, and
ants will soon vanish. Cockroaches are
also driven away byit

CURLING FLuD FOR THE HAIR.
trugacanth, one ounce I; rose water, one
pint let the gum soak in the rose water
lor lurty-eight hours, then squeeze the

To REMOVE Om-STAINs FROM Books.
If the stansaro ext nsiyc, roll up each

Russia rs n Military Power.

Railroads lead from subject but hostile
Poland to Moscow and ST. Petersburg.
These cities, therefore, arc not more III
accessible than several other European
capitals. Moreover, the Crimcan war
proved that Russia can be exhausted ana
defeated ON her frontier.
The Russian Government IS based on
force. The theory is simple; but 1t
renders largo standing army essential.
! Without this coercivo element the gov
eminent could not exist day. Where
the consent OF the governed is regarded
as something wholly irrelevant, q power
| full substitute is required. Under s''ch
| conditions an empire that includes o
seventh part of the habitable globe, poo
pied by nearly 80, 600, 900 OF inhabitants,
of many different races, speaking many
languages, can only DO successfully pa
troled by an immense military iorce. AS
this patrol must be kept up in time OF
war even more vigorously than IN time Oh
peace, it is always difficult for the gov
ernment to bring q large force into the
field without weakening, TO dangerous
extent, the foundations upon which tho
empire rests. -,
