A GREAT EDIFICE.

From Galignani's Messenger.
The new cathedral of Moscow cost more than
$40. OO0, 900. 1t has been half century in con-
structing, but the wonder is not that the time
is 80 long, but rather it has been SO short. The
great cathedral Of st. Saviour's is erected as q
memorial Of the deliverance Of Russia from Ma
poleon Bonaparte in 1912. Less than three
months after the retreat of the French the EN-
peror Alexander 1. issued a decree that the
church should be built, and few years later
the foundations were laid 1t took twenty years
to erect the building and cover it in, and the
scafoding was taken down in 1858. The scat
folding alone cost ESQ, 600. 1t has five great
gllded copper cupOlas, surmounted by crosses,
the central one Of which stands $40 feet from the
ground.
The whole building is faced with marble, and
the interior is pronounced the most exquisite in
its decoration In Europe. There are magnificent
paintings, elegant windows, costly candelabra,
and the floor and wall are inlaid with many va
rieties of marble.
There is nothing In the world to equal the
gorgeous splendor Of the altar and its accom-
paniments, and the cathedral covers q 900
square feet, and will accommodate comfortably

Some Comparative Figures and Facts
Between Fifty Years Ago and Now.

From the Unions. Gazette
Fifty years ago married women had no legal
existence, no shadow Of civil rights. Their
property became their husbands; their
services for life were his due; they could
neither inherit nor earn one dollar which would
be positively their own; they were held In alb
solute pecuniary dependence.
To-day, the property which women inherit
and that which they personally earn is legally
their own. to be used. managed held or dis
posed Of In life or at death Certain provisions
for the husbands benefit excepted) as they
themselves please.
Then the widow was divorced with but the
life use OF only one-third of the family real
estate, even though such estate might have
been acquired by the joint industry of husband
and wife, or by that of the wife alone. The
property was legally the husbands and his heirs,
her right in it was the maintenance to which
even pauper is entitled.
Now, wife, neglecting her family, may earn
ior herself alone; but fifty years Of unselish
home toll, helping to keep the dear old farm
and clear OF its mortgages entities her to not one
foot OF land, to not one room in the house to be
really her own. Her own children or strangers
outrank her.
Then, mother, If married, had by law no
right In her own child. Its custody was ex-
clusively the fathers; he could dispose of it by
Will even months before its birth.
Now, in New Jersey and several other states
the custody OF the child is primarily with the
mother.
1t is demonstrated, though women reach
maturity earlier that in all countries they reach
decadence much later, and are distinctively q
different type Of being, with q quite special
outlook into life's mysteries. The new view
offers its new hopes and its fresh encourage
ment.

WHY THE BRIDE BENT HER
FINGER.
She Kept the Ring Below the Second
Joint and Made a Mental Reserva-
ton Besides.

She Kept the Ring Below the Second
Joint and Made a Mental Reserva-
From the New York Sum-
At a recent wedding in Newark, the bride
made her promise to love and obey the man
beside her, and he In turn vowed, in the formal
language of the Prayer Book, to cherish and
protect her, and then the Rev. Mr.. Dupuy, an
Episcopal clergyman Of this city, directed the
groom to place the ring upon the brides finger
1t slipped on easily at first but the bride by
bending her finger made it impossible for the
groom to press it past the second joint. He
endeavOred to press the ring on all the way, and
as she resisted, there was a painful pause in
the ceremony. Mr.. Dupuy supposed the ring
was too small and proceeded with the service.
At the reception which followed the bride was
asked by friend what caused the delay when
the ring was produced. She frankly explained
that the wife Of Broad street jeweler had told
her that if she allowed the groom to slip the
ring over the second joint of her fngerh he would
rule her through life; whereas II 1t passed over
only the first joint she would always have him
under her control. She added that she resolved
to resort to this device to effect her supremacy
because she was only Is years old, while the
groom was 40, had been married once, and,
owing to his experience In matrimonial life
would probably have things too much his own
way unless she enlisted the fates on her side at
the outset.
The Rev. Mr.. Dupuy, who baptized the young
lady IN her childhood and had known her init
mately since that time, reprOVed her for desiring
to rule her husband, and reminded her that
though the ring had not passed over the second
joint of her finger. she had nevertheless prom
ised to obey her spouse. She listened meekIy
but afterward told q confidential friend that the
promise to obey was made with q mental reser-
walton.

Society Life in New York.
Blakely Hall in the Brooklyn Eagle

Blakey Hall in the Brooklyn Eagle
A western man who moved here with his fam.
lily two years ago, in speaking of New York
society the other day, said: "This is positively
the most inhOspitable town on the face of the
earth. People here express their surprise that
adventures succeed in getting into a certain
strata Of New York society. The reason
such men get as for as they do is on account of
the number Of families in New York who have
been so thoroughly chilled and disheartened by
frequent rebuffs that they welcome any sort of
q stranger if he Is clever and pleasant as a re-
lief from the everlasting monotOny OF home life
Take my own case, for example. We moved
here two years ago from Omaha, and settled
down permanently in New York. We are not
country people by any means. Both Of nv
daughters and my wife spent five years of their
life, prior to 1880. in travelling about Europe
and the girls are bright and rather pretty. We
came here. bought house In Seth street for

point wish to speak about particularly is the
snObbish talk about blood" which one con-
stantly hears in New York. In England. Won
know, gentlemen when talking about one
another do not prate continually about good
families old families, best people, good blood
and the like 1t Is the custom there, as else
where among gentlemen, to assume that people
whom you meet In society are respectable and
of gentle blood. Here, however there is con-
tinual talk about old families, and to my certain
knowledge there are not dozen families In the

The precautions to be taken in the manage

and through the secular and medical press, and
may be summed up as follows: Isolate the
patient in an airy room having the least possible
amount OF furniture. especially that which Is

Dsinfect all eXcretiOns and secretions and
especially those from the throat nose and
mouth. and all articles sOiled by them, promptly.
while they are yet moist, and thoroughly Use

a very good rule.
Ii the little life is not strong enough to with

house and its contents may yet cause. Do not
allow synpathiZing friends and playmates to
enter; do not have any funeral ceremonies in the
house; treat the sickroOm and its contents as be-
