The Neva is the glory OF st. Peters
burg. 1t is the soul of the city, the
cause of it's being and the secret of its
greatness. Every one knows that ST.
Petersburg stands on the Neva. But
no ono who has not lived in the city
can imagine what the Neva is to st.
Petersburg. Even the Russians them
selves do scant justice to their magnili-
cent river. What the Adriatic is to
Venice, that tho Neva is to st. Peters
burg. The city is as if built on the
river, and seems almost to float on the
water.
One-third of st. Petersburg is built
upon the islands which lie in the bed
Of the Neva, and which are united
with the mainland by several bridges,
opened for an hour or two in the early
morning for the passage of ships.
Ocean going steamers can therefore
steam through the heart of St. Peters
burg, and the sight of these great ships,
anchored opposite the palaces on the
Quai de la Cour, is almost like that of
the tunnels of the steamers amid the fol-
iage of the trees that line the canals at
Rotterdam. Many of the most fash
ionable' houses are built along the
canals, and the views of the Fontanka
from the bridge between the Anitch.

great variety of intermediate fabrics
such as tablecloths, napkins, etc.
The material can be spun without

Milk is not always admirable as din

part in the menu. Tea or coffee taken
with meat is simply suicidal. These hot
beverages turn the meat into something
resembling leather, and the result inter-
fercs sadly with digestion The man who
desires long lfo must not give place to
''high tea" in his daily programme. OF
tea itself it can only be said that 1t is
harmless if not taken too often or made
too strong. Tho American lady who
after several calls and cup Of tea at
each remarked that she could "always
worry down another cup" was probably
unaware Of the mischief she was doing
herself. No one need totally abstain
, from tea if they only take the precaution
to buy it good, not TO mako it strong, not
more than twice day and to abjure 1t
after in the afternoon.

AN EXPERIMENT IN FLAX GROW
INa.-A large lot af imported fax seed
has been received by j. II. McAllister
of the firm of McAllister & Bentz. from
a gentleman in New York who is in
terested in the fax growing industry in
Ireland and Scotland, aud who is mem
ber of largo importing house in New
York city. This gentleman has been
in correspondence with Mr.. McAlIster
for some time III regard to the adaptable
ity of tho soil and climate of this section
to the growing of flax and the favorable
reports which Mr.. McAllister, who is
himself throughly informed ON fax grow
ing, was able to give have induced him
to send on quauity of seed to be used
in tests the coming season.
The seed now in Mr. McAllister' 8
charge, and he proposes to distribute
them toa number of intelligent and
trustworthy farmers who will agree to
make an experiment are satisfactory to
encourage the spread Of the industry
with view to establishing a mill here
some day. Mr.. McAllister will be glad
to have applications for the seed from
farmers who care to give them trial
and he will be ready to inform any who
call for that purpose on the details o
the cultivation of the plant.
Those who know something abou
fax growing say that it grows well here
having beon cultivated on small scait
in this section before the war. 1t is t,
be much more profitable crop than cot
ton, and if the experiments Mr.. Nc
Allister contemplates succeeds, fla,
growing might largely supersedo cottor
growing in this section. It is certainl,
well worth the trouble of careful trial
