rival at the door of his entrance hall his chief aid-de-camp met us and con ducted us upstairs, and at the top we were received by our host, who pre- sented us each with bouquet of flow CTS from his own gardens. His niece, Princess Wolkonsloi, did the honors as hostess. She was beautifully dressed in Q Paris costume, with the finest jewels, and looked remarkably handsome. A distinguished general took ne in to dinner, and l sat on the left of our host.
 The dinner table was covered with beautiful gold plate and splendid flow CTS, and learned that the best garden CTS in the country are generally Ger mans. Before we left that evening the governor general gave each of us an in terest;ng little book on the history of Moscow written by himself, which am glad to possess as a mcmento of our visit. He sent us home in his three horsed troika. q. tn nif i.+F

KEEPING IN PRACTICE.
The Singular Metaod of Practical
 Min.icd Man.

The Singular Method of Practical
 Minded Man.
 Gen. Thicbault, in accounting the story of his life, dwells at some length upon his experience in the swimming school on the bank of the Seine. Among the habitues of the place was one man who had opinions of his own, and q mind to exercise them. He came b the school three times week, and Gen. Thicbault thus describes him:
 He wcs about forty years old, tall, thin, serious looking. and carried him self like an aristocrat. He always came straight into the school in his street dress. his hat on his head his coat but toned up to his chin, gloves on and cane in hand.
 Without paying attention to anyone he walked along the platform, drawing nearer and nearer to the edge, and then suddenly, and to all appearance as much to his surprise ns to anyone else's, his foot slipped, and into the river he tu1nblcd.
 The first time saw this performance supposed it was an accident, and was preparing to go to the mans rescue, when I saw him pick up his hat, put his cane between his teeth and strike out for the platform.
 Having reached the platform, he re- tired to a drcssing-room, out of which he presently emerged wearing bath tug suit like the rest of us By this time was half disposed to believe him crazy, but when I venturcd to ask an explanation of his strange behavior, he roplid:
 Sir, we learn to swim in order to be able to save ourselves if we should ever fall into the river. Now, then, If such m accident should happen to you, do you imagine that you would be dressed in swimming drawers? No, sir, you would have on your clothes, your boots, your hat; and being taken all by sur prise, you would most likely be drowned. As for me, if were in such position should save myself easily."- Youths Companion.

male voices seeming very soft and pret- ty Before we left they gave us some excellent tea, with the usual slices of lemon, and rolls and jam made by themselves. We also tasted their black bread andt"schwass, which is the com mon drink of the peasants, and is made from black bread soaked in water; thought both very nasty.
 Then we had q long, cold, but exhil- arating drive in our sledge all through the capital, even some way beyond, and on the other side of it to the Dons- koy monastery. This is a very curious place, a great contrast to the convent we had just left behind-as ta'iste and somber as the latter was bright and cheerful. The monks seemed as sloven- ly, as unkempt and as stupid as the nuns were neat, clean and intelligent, giving us the idea of belonging to quite two centuries ago. But they live comfortably, their cells being fur nished, though very dirty. They seemed an idle lot, working only in their gar dens, and not making much of them.

archbishops, the archbishop of Mos COW being the chief; but the czar him self is the head of the Russian church, although not in priests orders. He even crowns himself at the coronation, and then crowns the czarina, and him. self takes from the altar the holy Eucharist and afterward makes his sol- emn vows.
 On the first Sunday of our visit to Moscow Prince Dolgoroukoff, the gov ernor general, kindly invited us to be present at high mass in the private chapel of the palace. The music was all vocal, the singers being out of sight, as they always are in the Greek church, an arrangement which adds greatly to the effect. As we have lately read in the descriptions of the marriage of the present czar, no instrumental music is ever allowed in the orthodox charch. The altar stands behind gold en gates, called the Tconastas, on which arc painted in fresco sacred sub jects; the priests and dcaconS remain behind the doors out of sight. Sudden ly the gates burst open; the Gloria rises from the invisible choir, while the Gospel is brought out by deaeons be- tween two huge lights, to be read by the high priest to the people.
 The czar is the only layinan allowed to go behind the golden gates into the sanctuary. A curious incident occurred while we were there. A little baby in arms received the holy communion. The nurse attired in Russian national

But when for the moment one opened these wraps when sledging to have look around and to get more of the fresh air, one realized fully the intensity of the cold, and gladly pulled all close round again.
 The governor general, Prince Dol goroukoff, had been apprised of our coming, and sent his nephew, Prince Wolkonslzi, to meet us at the station with ono of his chamberlains, as well as his principal oid-de-camp; also his sledge to convey us to the Hotel Slav .inski Bazar. This we found most com fortable and luxuriously furnished with a good restaurant attached, re- minding one of some of the Paris hotels q- Very soon after our arrival the prince himself called at the hotel and drew up programme of what we ought to see We first visited the Kremlin accom- panied by Prince. Ourouzoff, chief aid de-camp, beginning with the palace, the modern part of which is very fine, one large saloon being painted all white with the decorations and designs in bas relief; and having on the walls in gilt letters a list of the regiments that took part against Napoleon in 1872. Then we saw the throne room, splen- did apartment with a magnificent throne at the end, the frieze and cell ing decorated with Illustrations of the Order of St. George, the walls being hung with it's colors and ribbons. Next we passed into magnificent rooms for the use of the late czar and now wid- owed empress, and their private chapel, ending with banqueting hall used on the occasion of all coronations, in- cluding that of Alexander III. and his empress.

costume, carried it up to the priest at the altar rail. and he dipped the holy bread in the chalice and fed the child with a spoon. The Greek church holds that if you give infants the sacrament of baptism, you have no right to with hold the other sacrament from them. At the end of mass the high priest brings a crucifx with our Lords figure painted on it, and all present go up to 1t and kneel before it. It is a curious fact about the Russian cruci- fixes, which one secs in such large numbers, that they are only painted, never carved, as the worship of an image is forbidden; this, as we know from history, having been the cause of the first rupture between the eastern and western churches.
 Another very interesting experience was our visit to the Strastnoi convent, Q little way out of the city. From the tower is to be seen by far the finest view of Moscow. We were the first Eng fish ladies who had ever visited the con- vent. The lady abbess q dear, kind old lady, received us at the gate, order ing some of the nuns to show us about, and one pretty young Polish novice to act as interpreter, because she spoke French. They showed us their refec- tory, their worlsroom and their cells, the latter formed of single partitions reaching half way up to the ceiling and down the length of ono long hall. Everything was scrupulously clean, and the cells rather more furnished than one would have expected to find them, but quite ih the simplest way
 In the chapel they have miraculous Tcon, believed to be capable of curing all maladies; and of this they told us many incredible tales. The choir sang to us the music used at high mass, as we'll as the Song of the Chcrubim, and some of tho Psalms in Russian, the fe-

s. Petersburg is of peculiar interest as the modern capital of Russia and the place of residence of the imperial fam fly; but from picturesque and histor> ical point of view Moscow is the more striking of the two, with its marvellous Kremlin, the most curious building in the world, containing under one roof a magnificent palace, picture galleries, museums, cathcdrals and chapcls. The view, too, of the whole capital is beau tiful, for it stands or an cminence, the frozen river below stretching away as far us the eye can see. Then there are the quaint buildings of purest white mingled with oriental colors, golden domes and innumerablc Ininarets, the church of St. Savior's conspicuous among all in the center of the city, built-of the whitest stone, shaped like Greek cross, erected in memory of the retreat of the grand army and the de- liverance from Napoleon in 1872.
 When we arrived the cold was in- tense, but wrapped up in our big Rus
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-02-17

After that came the old part of the palace, which dates from the fifteenth century, and then we proceeded to the ancient Romanoff palace, which ex- isted before the Kremlin, and was in- habited previous to the last dynasty Here the audience chamber has one very low entrance, so that you can only pass through on your knees. An anus ing anecdote is told in connection with it. One of the emperors received all of the ambassadors there, and this door was purposcly made so low to oblige them to enter his premises on their knees as evidence that, being repre- sentatives of other sovereigns, they were in his estimation Beneath him self, and that he was above all other empcrors and kings. The French ann bassador, hearing of this, and consider ing that the king of France was equal to the czar of all the Russias, if not of greater importance, was determined not to be beaten; so, finding himself obliged to go down on his knees, he en- tered backwards, thus triumphing over the naughty monarch by turning his back on him.
