s4rhe Great BeIl OF Moscow"

Inside the Kremlin are three cathedrals:
the Cathedral Of the Annunciation, where
all the czars are baptized; the Cathedral
of the Assumption, where all are crowned,
and the Cathedral of the Archangel
Michael, where all the emperors were
buried up to the time Of Peter the Great
These are all, as are most of the churches
in Moscow, built in the Moorish style Of
architure and most elaborately decorated
Recently, I'm the Church Of the Assump-
tion, which was being renovated, several
very ancient pictures were brought to light
ON the walls, and these have been carefully
preserved. One Of them represents sew
eral scenes from the life of Jonah, and is
very unique in its way. On one side the
prophet is being thrown overheard from
an exceedingly rickety looking ship.
Then q creature with big eyes and q big
mouth and tail lin all about Jonahis

But the crowning masterpiece of the
whole picture is where .Jonah-now safe
on land-is bidding the whale good-by in
the most elaborate and polite Russian
manner.
Near by these churches Is the tower Of
Ivan the Great, very lofty and containing
some fifty-two bells, many Of them Of
very large size. At the foot Of the tower
is the ''Tsar Kolokoi," " or the king Bell, !"
"the great bell Of Moscow" Of which we
have heard all our lives. 1t is immense,
there Is no doubt Of fhatl It Is 20 feet
high and 60 feet In circumference, and Is
about 2 feet through in the thickest part:

A Citadel Of stnniditr.

1t is notorious fact that our kitchens
are the strongholds of ignorance, preju-
dice, irrational habits and mental vacuity,
with the result that Americans suffer be-
yond any other people from wasteful,
unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous
cookery. Acquiescence in this state of
things as something permanent and ir-
remediable is no longer possible. The
time has arrived when the advance of in
telligence and the spirit Of improvement
must invade that citadel of stupidity, the
kitchen, and Danish from it oil degrading
associations by the presence of trained
women who have made the work there
carried on a matter of serious study.
Cooking should bo done as Northcote
mixed his colors, with brains, sirl' The
difference between cooking that is good
and cooking that is bad is very much an
affair of attention to trifes. And this
power of attention to trifes is the out
ward and visible sign of the inward and
well ordered brain. Slight mistakes,
email omissions, little things done at the
wrong time spoil dishes, and therefore
much healthful enjoyment. The charm
of good housekeeping is the order of econ
omy and taste displayed in regard to de-
tails. The little things are the great
things after all, when their influence Is
taken into consideration.-New York

There have been some curious changes
of late years in the fashions for staple
commodities, and especially is this true In
the matter of watches. The watch Is
either looked upon as a trinket or as an
article of serious use. In the first instance
1t is set in a round ball. incrusted with
small diamonds, sometimes intermixed
with rubies or with sapphires, or It forms
the top of q smelling bottle, or is set In
q bracelet or the handle Of parasol. But
the serious watch of every day wear has
become a very practical article indeed.
I'm old days" said to me famous Swiss
jeweler of the Rue de la Paix the other
day. ''the business of replacing watch
crystals was an important item, amount
ing, on on average. TO $50 per week. Now,
instead Of the delicate, soap bubble glass
formerly used, the watch crystal is made
thick and strong, so as to stand any
amount OF rough usage short Of an actual
blow. The introduction Of these massive
crystals has brought about a change In
the make of watches. Not half SO many
hunting cased watches are sold as for
merly, as they are SO much less convenient
than the open faced ones, and the thick
crystal does away with the only real OBJ
lection to the latter. Paris Cor. Phila-

Areminiscence Of Daniel Webster, never
told before In print, was related here the
other day by q contemporary Of the
Massachusetts, senator It illustrates
more forcibly than any hitherto recorded
the extraordinary influence of his oratory.
Webster had given a friend his note for
5000. A miserly old Whig-the richest
man in Acknowledgements the paper at
q sharp shave. He admired Webster and
trusted him. The note matured. The
senator could not pay. The miser dunned
Webster persistently. but without effect.
Mr.. Webster made q positive appointment
to meet him one morning, but was not to
be found either at his home or in the
senate.
The note holder was walking away
from the Capitol in despair when he saw
Webster approaching with head high In
air, eyes sunken with far away look, lips
parted and teeth showing IN broad smile.
The old Wing lost courage and passed
without recognition Next morning, In
perusing the newspaper, he read Web.
ster's reply to Hayne. At once he took
the orators note and tore IL to pieces. SO
prodigious was the effect Of the splendid
phihppic. Washington Cor. America.

NOT AT ALL UNPLEAsANT

Is there no Joy in making these little
plans to please others, so that when tine
veil Of darkness shuts you from their
sight, your going may not be ali an un-
broken pain-that no tender thoughts Of
how you had planned to remain in their
thoughts should follow you on the un-
known voyage to the mysterious beyondf
While this, perhaps, is the strongest ar
gument for persons who possess only
trining things to make will. there Is an
other, too, which has q pleasant side.
Few of us hare the slightest idea Of what

The "Till FamilyH Tonight.

At the Opera House tonight the It'll

ses Of the Jackson Rifles. They give some
very fine music, but the curiosity of the
Concert is thus described by the Balti-
more american:
The four performers played popular airs,
Scotch tunes, the Boulanger March and other
pieces, on sixty rocks of the horn blend varie
ty, found in England, ranged like a keyboard
in perfect tune and five octaves in range. MIR.
D. Till said his father began collecting the
rocks long time ago, and that the family had
spent the leisure time of eleven years tuning
them. Each rock was tuned by chipping up
small pieces till the exact note was found
When tuned, no change of weather affec is
them in the least They are struck lightly
with little sticks, padded at one end with soft
felt similar to those used on certain kinds of
drums. The music was wonderfully sweet.
The public ought to rally to the support
of the Rifles. for they have borne all the
expenses of their organization up to this
time out of their own pockets, and this is
their first appeal to their fellow citizens.
