Lovers of the time -honored game of draughts Will

ecGaefer Is player of ten years standing, and for
five yoa.s he has been champion OF the State. lie
is we'll studied in the history and theory OF the
game aud well veTscd il its practice lie is sharp
Sna.yst, has an extraordinary memory, and plays
WAT scientific players call rapid game, although
bv common players it would be considered slow.
fie has played with Aud, of Pittsburg, the cham
yiou of Pennsylvania, the twain being about evenly
matched, and also with Priest, of Philadelphia,
another famous player of the Keystone state, and
beaten him. DIR. Schaeter is practising physician.

be said TO have passed the embryonic
state. True, sugar of good quality
mas been made In Kaases of Kansas
cane; several establishments have
been cree ed at an expense little if
any short of a quarter of a million
dollars That Kansas climate and sell
are peculiarly well adapted to the
growth OF good cane, has been estab-
Ilshed by repeated scientific tests and
that merchantable sugar can be made
from 1t with certainty and at reason
able cost Is no longer q matter of
doubt: These things are settled. But
there Is one serious obstacle in the
way OF success which, up to this
time, no person has discovered any
means of removing. 1t is that, under
best conditions, sorghum can be work
ed only ninety days in the year. By
planting at different times, and by
raising different varieties of seed.
the time ripening may be made to
cover a period of three months. But
thisls under most favorable conditions
as TO climate, temperature, etc. the
cane must be worked up while it Is
fresh, 1t can not be kept over. If
shere is any way to bridge the break,
1t is probably by the companies own
ing the land needed, raise enough cane
to yield a nine months supply of
seml-syrup; keep the crushers running
at their full capacity during the ripen-
ing season, put the juice into syrup
and then, when the crushing season
passed, put the semi-syrup into sugar
and molasses during the rest Of the
year. This is the most difficult thing
in tie whole case.

THE CHURCHIN RUSSIA.
The Introduction OF Christianity I'm
der Duke Osk old.
Frank Lsslie,s sunday MAGAZINE

rEa1h Lss4le sunday Magazine
The city of Kiev lies nearly on the
meridian of both Constantiuople and
the modern st. Petersburg, and near
iy midway between them. Here
Russia first sought Christianity. Its
first duke, Oskold. according to ira
dition, in the ninth century became a
Christian. 1t is certain that the
Duchess Olga was baptized In Con-
stantinople in the year 955. Her
grandson followed her example. The
history of his conversion is memor-
able. When he became noised abroad,
emissaries and ambassadors represent
ing manly religions came to him from
all Observation-Disclosures, Jews,
multiplying him in turn with argu-
ments and persuasions. He was clear
ly man OF head as well as heart. for
he sent intelligent messengers on tours
of observation and study among the
Christian churches, both western and
Greek. The irresistible splendor of
st. Sophia liturgy and ritual carried
the day, and heneeforth the Greek
| religion became the national state
religion of the empire. Bishops aad
priests were sent from Constantinople,
and by the twelfth century the work
of conversion was complete. The first
| church was built at Kew, which was
made patriarchate, the first in Rus
STA, but SINE subordinate to the pat
riarchate of Moscow, which Is the
state patriarchate. Here, in Moscow,
religious art for the first begins to de-
velop something like distinctly ma
tional type, although the chnrch and
cathedral invariably preserve the
Basllican or Byzantine spirit or norm.
In the thirteenth century the great
Tartar invasion threatened for a time
the very extinction of the church.
| But to this period can be traced the
swelling, bulb shaped inverted bal
loon shaped dome, which became so
lavlshly identified with roof olna-
mcntation. This question has been
often mooted among psychologists
and antiquarians, and while the Tar
tar or Oriental origin of the dome,
| and other features of characterization,
has been denied here and there, no
other orIginin has ever been suggest
ed. It is safe to assume that these are
Persic or Indian characteristics, for
the excellent reason that they enter
into all structural art in the ORIENT.
and are found nowhere else. The
final triumph of the Russians, under
Demetlus, on the Don, IN 1880, was
afterward signalized by the cross plant
ed above the crescent on all the
| churches.

The Great Alaska River.
New York Herald, Dec. Il.


Before the American Geographical
Society at Chichering Hall last even
ing Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka
lsctured on ALASKA and Exploration
Along the Yukon River; an Account
of the Longest Raft Journey in the
World" Through the center of
Alaska, the lecturer said, flows the
mighty Yukon, a stream so grand
that, if It's head were at Salt Lake
City, it would. as the crow f1ips,
empty in New York Harbor. 1t was
discovered in 1882 by adventures in
the employ of the Russian Fur Com
pany. His idea of exploring the river
on raft, he said, was laughed at by
the whites and many of the Indians.
They SAID that he would never be
able to pass it through the miles of
lakes and boiling rapids. He never
theless determined to make the effort.
The lee urer next gave a graphic des-
cription of the tedious and dangerous
travel over the burning heights be-
tween Sltka and the head of the
Yukon. He described the repairing
of the raft at the latter place. the
crew standing in Ice water and sur
rounded and attacked by myriads of
mosquitoes. After passing a lake,
which ne called Lake Bennett, they
met with high waves and perfect
hurricane which made the raft work
IN the center like an accordion. After
leaving Lake March they encountered
the rapids of the Grand Canon of the
Yukon, where the waves were from
four to five feet in height. Here the
Mosquitoes were uncomfortable. So
numerous and bloodthirsty were they
that Esquimaux dogs were killed by
them under certain circumstances,
and even the grizzly bear was GEM
relied to succumb. He later on des-
cribsd passing and RAINING three
great rivers, one of which he called
Daily, safter the president of the So
ciety. (Applause) The party also
passed an immense stream called the
White river, so called from the white
mud which Is mixed with the water.
The explorers in a few days more
reached Fort Yukon, from which
point the river had been explored by
other parties. The rapids which these
explorers had described, the lecturer
said, proved to be the mildest rapids
he ever saw. After further most in
teresting description of the river the
lecturer closed by saying that Alaska
had a great future with its whale,
salmon and seal fisheries, its immense
cod banks, its vast grazelands on the
east. The house was then darkened,
ans he exhibited number of stereop-
ticon views of the river and sur
rounding scenery.
