THE PRIDE OF A GROUSE.
Flying Into the Company of Sportsmen He
Conducted Himself NobIy.


We had got out of the road which ran
through the forest and over rail fence, and
were standing under large hemIock when
we heard ruffled grouse in the dis
tance. He came directly toward US and
alighted on the ground about 40 feet away.
There was small gully or water course be-
tween us and the bird. Before he struck
the ground ne had taken about two-thirds
of circle to break his lightning-like fight.
AS soon as he lit he Strengthened up and
took survey. He soon saw us, but instead
of again flying he swelled up in a most
pompous manner. Never had seen grouse
appear larger or more magnificent.
My brother looked at me, and 1 suggested
that be snap cap at him. Neither OF our
muzzle-loaders was charged. At the sound
of the first cap the grouse slightly shook
himself, but seemed to swell his breast
out more. My brother continued taking
caps from his pocket and swapping them
at the grouse, bringing his gun up
each time and taking deliberate aim
until nine were exploded The grouse
seemed to like the sound and to be fascina-
ted by it, and the scene generally. The
man coming down the road with the dogs
alarmed him, and, turning, he ran several
feet and took wing, and we heard him going
through the thick evergreens away in the
distance.

the dining room. As will be seen novel
feature has been introduced in the shape OF
a mantel, which takes up nearly the entire
side Of the room. Near by stained glass
window furnishes the greatest portion of
light needed and forms at once an UNIQUE
and useful decoration. Surely it serves a
better purpose than solid masonary or plas-
ter, and at night adds an atmosphere which
is highly enjoyable, an alcove window,
in consequence of the plentilulness OF
light, may be heavily draped and used
as the basis for a color scheme of
the room, which may consist of dark tones.
All of the furniture and paneled dados are
in old oak, while the cornice, frieze and
what little wall space there is showing is
stippled and relief designs applied by hand,
this relief being in colors and the back

neglect, for, with the amount specified, the
work could be done by the day.
Starting out then with the assurance of
splendidly made house, we will examine
into the STYLES and details of the various i'm
portant features. The structure follows no
set design, its architectural lines being
adapted from many well-known examples.
The idea of the architect has been to con-
centrate good forms and graceful angles
with an eye to looks as well as utility. As
will be seen in cut 1, there are no cheap eff
fects In the finish, no common posts or
pilasters, abrupt or unfinished places. The
piazza is spacious and pretty, the pediment
not over elaborate, the rail standard unique
in pattern and the junctures handsomely
carved and united.
In breaking up the facade, great care was

In brief article of this nature it is i'm
possible to present an inventory of the
fixtures of the house; all must be told in a
tentative way and much which the good
wife may desire to know about the locality y
of closets, pantries, the quality of table
ware, the convenience of the rooms and &C
cessories, must be left out and can only be
made evident by studying the plans and ex-
amining the materials.
Then, too, the lord of the mansion can not
fully comprehend where all his money is
going to be spent; he may desire stable
built which would alter the plans, and il a
home body, he wants to know about the
heating apparatus and plumbing, the storage
room for coal and wood, where his den or
library is to be placed and SO on. but to such
it can be said that the plans show all of these

The castle of Gatchina, which has
become the favOrite residence of the
emperor and empress of Russia, is
within a short distance of the summer
palaces of Tzarkoe-Selo and Krosnoe-
Selo. 1t was built by Peter the Great ;
but the present house is practically a
creation of Orloff the favorite of the
Empress Catherine, who added the
tower and wings, and who caused the
interior to be sumptuously decorated
by workmen from Italy under the SUI
perintendence of Rinaldi, a celebrated
architect of that period After the
death of Orloff the palace was inhabit-
ed by the Grand Duke Paul, the i'll
fated father of the Emperors Nicholas
and Alexander.
The house, which is an immense
structure, is built in three stories, the
first supported by columns of Finland
marble, and the principal rooms are
hung with pictures, recently brought
from the Hermitage and Winter pal
aces at st. Petersburg. There are
beautiful Italian gardens, with ter
races, temples and fountains, and a
vast and richly wooded park, with
lakes and waterfall through which a
broad and rapid stream flows. There
is a forest which swarms with game
beyond the park, and the whole do
main is surrounded by a high wall,
and beyond is really an intrenched
camp. There is chain of sentries all
round the wall which extends for
many miles and they are changed
every hour All the roads for miles
around are patrolled necessarily and
there is a guard at the railway station
mearly an hours journey from St.
Petersburg), where only persons going
to the chateau and having passes can
leave or enter a train When the en-
peror is residing at Gatchina the inte-
rior of the chateau is thoroughly in
spected by experts belonging to the Sc
cret police at least twice every day

A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
Blown Head First Into a Well by a Ter
rife Cyclone.

Blown Head First Into Well by a Ter
rife Cyclone.
1t was in 1882, the 9th of June;
you Will see why have no trouble in
remembering the date.
1t had been an exceedingly hot day,
not a cloud to be seen, with the sun
beating fiercely down, and not a
breath of air stirring. We sat on the
porch after supper, trying to find a
cool place. The clouds were begin
ming to gather, and it looked as if
there might be a shower The three
little ones went early to bed, and in
spite of the oppressive heat were soon
fast asleep.
1t couldn't have been far from 8
o'clock when heard a sound which
at first thought was thunder The
others noticed it, too, and, as it grew
louder, terrible rushing sound came
with it, and we looked at one another
in silence a minute, and then ran to
where we could look out westward
My heart almost stopped beating
when saw coming toward us with
terrific speed a black, funnel shaped
cloud, the rush and roar accompany
ing it growing louder every minute.

The water was some ten feet deep. [

though I wasn't used to diving in that
fashion, and | managed to right my
self and come up head first.
The well was not more than three
feet across, and the pump had been
broken short off and carried away,
leaving a two inch iron pipe standing
straight up in the middle.

when l came to the top of the water
My hands touched something floating
on the surface. | thought it was the
cat. Imagine my surprise when l
found it was Charlie. our 5-year-old
boy.
He was terribly frightened, and as
amazed as | was to find himself not
alone in the well. The wonder was
that we were not both of us impaled
on that iron pipe; how we escaped it l
can not understand.
The cyclone had passed on, and
terrific, steady wind was blowing. l
could hear it roar above our heads;
and by the flashes of lightning could
see that rain fell in torrents. We
were both so wet we didn't mind the
little extra water that splashed down
on US, and as soon as possible l raised
Charlie to my shoulders, and by aid of
the pipe managed to work my way to
the top of the well. This took some
little time, and the rain and wind had
nearly ceased when [ set my feet on
solid earth again, and found we were

The Advance of Cholera.

The news about the continuance of
cholera in Mesopotamia has again
raised the question whether Europe
stands in danger of another invasion
of the disease Cholera in Bussorah,
and even in Bagdad, does not necessa-
rily involve such danger, and al
though the disease has now for many
months past prevailed in both these
places and in the intermediate cOun-
try, its incidence has apparently been
all but limited to MesOpOtamia and to
the western portion of the Persian
empire. The only really disquieting
occurrence is the intelligence that it
has made some Roadway along the
Turkish trade routes to Europe
routes which would in the main con-
vey the disease in a northWesterly and
nOrtherly direction towards the ports
on the southern coast of the Baltic.
Should the part towns become infect
ed, it is certain that no Russian or
Turkish means of prevention such as
have been adopted on former occasions
would be likely to stay the diffusion
Of the cholera poison if the local cir
cumstances favored its epidemicity.
But cholera in Mesopotania, while
it may usefufly incite us to the remov-
I'll Vi THOSE 1IIIluG4CCS WHICH Uollu 10
propagate that disease, is by no means
to be regarded as an actual cause for
anxiety. We certainly are not in a
position to boast of any assured immu-
nifty from cholera travelling in a west
erly direction from Asia Minor; but
we have the satisfaction of knowing
that. after years Of sanitary progress,
and with a steadily improving sani-
tary organization of our port and in
land districts, cholera failed to get a
footing in this country during the Eu-
ropean epidemic of 1884 87, and this,
Notwithstanding the fact that we re-
manned all the time in frequent and
unhindered communication with Paris
during the whole period of the cpl
demic in that city. Our clear duty is,
while maintaining all necessary
watchfulness as to the march of cho1-
era on the eastern confines of Europe
to continue that line of sanitary work
which we have now maintained for so
many years and which has already
saved more lives in this country than
cholera ever destroyed among U.S.

that such collections were being made
came out through the indignation of
