The New Jerusalem in Russia.

Dr. BnCkleye Letter.
When we had made about three fourths OF the
way to Moscow the train crossed the Volga. This
is one of the great rivers of the world. From
the point whore we crossed it it is navicable,
without a break. for z, lj0 miles. A regular line
Of steamers plies upon it to Astrakhau.
Fourteen miles from the line of the road, at a
town 379 miles from st. Petersburg. stands the
monastery Of New Jerusalem, founded oy the
most celebrated Patriarch the Russo-Greek
church ever had-Nicon. At this spot he built
a church, consecrated by Gar Alexis, and
named the New Jerusalem. Neon undertook
to initiate the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at
Jerusalem. The river Istra is called the Jordan.
He had a brook dug, and called it the kedrou.
He called a village in the neighborhood Nazareth.
But he became too great a power, and the Gar
withdrew his countenance. AS he refused to
come to the cathedral to hear Neon preach on
an important occasion. the Patriarch, who sup
posed he could bring him TO terms, threw off his
episcopal robes, resigned his crozier, and. attir-
ing himself in the habit of a monk, withdrew to
this place; but the Gar never asked his forgive
ness. A council of the Eastern Patriarchs was
called at Moscow. Neon was degraded and
banished.

How Hand-Me-Down Clothing Is Cut Dot 10y

Wholesale.
New York Mail and Express.
Some few wholesale clothing h0nses that do
a large Western business have machines that
will cut say thirty or forty pairs of trousers at
one time, and other garments in like proportion.
One large establishment on Broadway has two
machines constantly at work cutting out enough
suits in a few days to suffice for a small army.
II will show how they work" said the head Of
the firm to q reporter. The operating room was
situated in the fifth story. She noise made by
the machines under u full head of steam sound
ed not unlike tho whiz of a planning machine,
only not so loud. The cutting machine is run
on a table twenty feet long and four feet wide.
The cutter docs not move the cloth,
but takes the handle of the cutting machine, and
follows the chalk pattern mapped out on the
cloth. The slightest twist of the wrist moves
the instrument with its guillotine-like knife over
many thicknesses of cloth clean through, leav-
ing smooth edges. The action of the knife is up
and down, like the sewing machine needle, but it
is so rapid, no matter how fast the hand moves
over the surface, it goes through buzzing like a
whip saw. There is a foot plate that moves I'M
der the cloth, the knife working down to it The
machine is attached to the table by means Of
pulleys, levers and a single track, which per
mits the knife to move to any portion Of the
table. The little knife makes 700 revolutions in
q minute.
I'VE have q man to cut trousers, one 20 cut
overcoats, and another for suits. II takes eight
or ten men chalking out the patterns on the
cloth for each instrument, so rapidly do
they work. Twenty pairs of thick trousers can
be cut at one time, and almost as many over
coats. Indeed, we usually cut 100 oveFcoats Der
day easily and seventy five suits on % machine.
Now, when the goods are thin a great many
suits can be Gu. at one time. In spring goods
forty pairs of trousers is nothing for the little
knife to wade through together. The capacity
for cutting alpaca goods is almost unlimited. II
generally turns out IA alpaca coats at one feed,
and /, 200 of them per day. Forty-nve white
vests can be cut out in two hours. The use Of
the cutting machines reduces expenses at least
so per cent, besides saving time. We get an or
der from a Western firm for 70 many hundred
suits of clothes, sizes ranging from so and so. In
a few days they are on their way West, so fast
can the cutting- machine do its work"

A Southern friend contributed the following
recipe for Confederate chicken pic" Boil a
chicken until it is tender; then take a deep
earthen dish and put a layer of chicken, well
seasoned with butter, pepper and salt; then put
a layer of cold boiled rice on this, and so on I'M
Ill you have exhausted your resources, taking
care to have a layer of rice on the top, Put this
into the oven and let it remain there until it is
very hot, and then serve.
When the goose is to be baked, fill it with tart
apples, peeled and cored, and place some apples
in the pan. French or Italian chestnuts make
also an excellent filling. About three pints of
chestnuts will 90 required. They must be
shelled and then boiled until they are nearly
soft. Stew an onion in butter and mix with the
chestnuts, seasoning to taste.
To make a delicate sponge cake, mix the yolks
of six eggs with four ounces of sugar, add four
ounces of -four, and mix thoroughly,
Aavoring according to taste. Beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and stir well
with the first mixture. Bake in a buttered
mould or pan in a quick oven.
Good breakfast mullins are made of three
pints of -four, with two heaping teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, one tablespoonful of salt, ono
quart of milk and two eggs. Beat the eggs very
light, stir all smoothly together and bake in rings
in q quick oven.
Now is the time when the game is worth not

but work, and a simple, healthy life. Expen-
sive appliances and nurses are not needed for
his disease. A plain, commodious house, in
which the clerk could write, the scholar study,
their daily labor; simple, wholesome food; a
skillful physician at the head, no liquor, and
strong locks on the doors, are all that is needed
to make cures of ~inebriety possible. The
cost OF maintaining a patient at such a house
ought to be small enough to bring it within the
reach of families of small means. Wife and
children would at least be free to earn their
own living, while the bread winner would have
% chance to regain his lost place in life.

Legal Restraint for Drunkards.

Z TTF FuTT ~
Legal enactments are needed by which the ha-
bitual drunkard, in whatever station OF life,
should be subject to constraint with precisely the
same conditions as if he were insane. Houses of
detention are needed in which, for a reasonable
sum, he could be kept until his cure was, atleast,
attempted. No drunkard can be cured unless
he is absolutely debarred from liquor, which only
can be done in such a house. The smallpox pa
tieut is removed to the hospital, where cure is
possible and where the community is safe. Why
are there no hospitals for the cure of this worse
disease, and the protection of the family and the
should be luxurious or costly. 1t Is not

FASHION NOTES.

Garnet of every description are dis
played in great numbers.
Velveteen combines better with plaids than
woollen stuffs, its richer quality removing any
garishness of effect.
Wooden lace is not cheap by any means.
Flounces a yard and n quarter wide, covering
the whole skirt, cost 500.
and trimmed with wooden lace of the same color
as the plush or velvet of which they are made.
A bonnet with dark green velvet crown has
steel lace brim and a bow of shrimp-pink terry
ribbon, with an aigrette fastened high i'll front.
Sets of undyed Astrakhan, consisting of cape,
rnuff, cuffs and hat, will be Worn by young girls
OF bright complexion, but let the sallow maidens
beware of the tender gray.
The shades of blue-royal, electric, gentian,
sapphire, hussar, brakes neck, lobelia, and
Presbyterian can all be found among the latest
importations of fine hosiery.
Fur plays a more important part in the trim
mings for cloaks, dresses and hats than ever
before, and many fine effects are produced by its
tasteful blending with textile fabrics.
Instead of the time-honored orauge-hower
wreath brides now wear the veil fastened with
several large diamonds or Rhine crystal pins,
the orange flowers forming bouquets wherewith
to loop the draperies or adorn the corsage only.
Instead of ruching in the neck and sleeves of
dresses are now placed bias bands of silk crepe,
two or three in number, one a little above the
other. Cream is the usual color chosen. This
is soft and pretty, and much better than ruffling
for the high standing collars.
a prune velvet poke bonnet is lined with clair
de lune satin and IS trimmed with a superb bird
with prune -colored p)umage, the top of the
head being covered with feathers of the FREEDOM
inant color. This beautiful bonnet costs seven
five dollars. the bird alone costing fifty dollars.
A ball dress of salmon-silk is covered with
longitudinal folds of tulle of a much paler shade,
powdered over with soft marabout feathers. In
the hounce at the bottom of the skirt there are
other marabouts, very soft and light The bod
ice is of pink satin with a garland of marabouts
around the neck.

Come yc apart into a desert place and rest"
-Hdrk Q: 81.
Lord, help me, from the strife and whirl and
din
or life, to go apart awhile with Thee;
Fen though it be deserts depth within,
1t viii be sweetest rest to me.
My heart is weary of mems sateless greed
For wealth; of powerthatplays the tyrant
part;
of bigotry, with its dead forms and creed,
And fire and fagot in its heart.
Iweary Of blind prejudice, whose hate,
Would battle with advancing truth AM
right;
Loving the larks song at the mornings gate
Less than the hootings of the night.
But most weary Of myself my ways
OF i'll, on better purpose Following ever;
Ny vows so often broken; my to-day's
Resolve, to-morrow's weak endeavor.
So let me flee into desert place
Where can be apart from all but Thee;
Where on my troubled brow Thy pMcid face
May look, and give its peace to me-
That desert place-be it of Thine own choos
ing; j,
The path that leads there may be steep and
rough
And dark: but the way shall not fear losing;
Thy leading hand will be enough.
Through whatsoever of trial Thou see'st best
will with gladness go to that lone place;
Where, all the world shut out Shall nnd rest,
Gazing in rapture on thy face.
