and sent his nephew. Prince wolkonski.
to meet us at the station with one OF his
chamberlains. as we'll as his principal
aide-de-camp, also his sledge to convey
US to the Hotel Slavinski Bazaar. This we
found most comfortable and luxursousfy
furnished with a good restaurant attach
ed. reminding one of some of the Paris
hotels.
Very soon after our arrival the prince
himself called at the hotel and drew up
a programme OF what we ought TO see.
We f1rst visited the Kremlin accompanied
by Prince Ourouzofs, chief asde-de-camp,
beginning with the palace. the modern
part Of which is very fine, one large sa-
loon being painted all white with the dec
orations 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, a splendid apartment with a mag
nificent throne at the end, the frieze and
ceiling decorated with illustrations of the
order Of St George. the walls being hung
with It's colors and ribbons. Next We pass
ed into the magnificent rooms for the use
OF the late car and now widowed emf
press, and their private chapel. ending
with banquerlng hall used on the ocea-
sion OF all coronations, including that OF
Alexander III. and his empress.
After that came the Old part OF the pal
ace. which dates from the fifteenth CEN
fury, and then we proceeded TO the an
cient Romanoff palace, which existed be-
fore the Kremlin. and was inhabited pre-
vsous to the last dynasty. Here the audi
ence chamber has one very low entrance.
50 that you can only pass through on your
knees. An amusing anecdote is told in
connection with it. One OF the emperors
received all of the ambassadors there,
and this door was purposely made so low
to oblige them 10 enter his presence on
their knees as evidence that. being repre-
sentat.ves OF other soyeresgns, they we're

that he was above all other enperors and

Russias, IL not Of greater importance, was
determined not to be beaten. so. finding
himself obliged to go down on his knees,
he entered backwards. thus triumphing
over the naughty monarch by turning his
back on him.
We were them taken 10 the private
chapel, and inspected the vestments worn
by the patriarchs of Moscow, new at the
coronation OF each car. and used only

The Ravages of the PbylloxsrA.

The aggregate area of vineyards in the
whole of France, actually destroyed and
plowed up in consequence of tho ravages
of the phylloxera, has amounted to more
than 1, 500, 600 acres, and it mas been esti-
mated by economists that the total loss,
direct and indirect caused by that parasite
has cost the country in the aggregate a
sum equal to twice the war indemnity
paid to Germany. In the most celebrated
vineyards, where no cost is spared IL the
matter, an effectual plan has beer the in
PRODUCTION of American vine stocks.
The phylloxera is a dainty feeder and
does not like the bark of the transatlantic
vines so the French varieties are grated
on these-as our gardeners graft Ribston
pippins on crab apples or Marechal Mel
roses on briers-and they escape scathless.
Mildew and black rot are combated by a
decoetion of sulphate of copper, known as
the bouillie bordelaise, and scare was
produced some time ago by the suggestion
that the copper was likely to poison the
consumers.
AS, however, it has been shown conclu-
sively that a man must drink 100 gallons
of wine in order to absorb into his system
a single grain of the metal, people are
found bold enough to run the risk. OF
course an immense amount of attention
and no little expenditure are required in
order to deal with these different pests,
and the fact that many of the vineyards
are in the hands of small and needy pro-
prietors makes it difficult to secure any
thing like uniform action.-BlackWood s

Why Is the Negro Black?

If the conclusions of M. Jauffert, the
great French scientist, are to be relied
upon there is no reason why the skin
of the African should be black and
that of the. Scandinavian of milky fair
ness-that is to say, there are no ap-
parent causes for this wide variation
in color. Jauffert says: 1.-The skin of
the African negro is of exactly the
same anatomical structure as that of
the fair-skined, faxen-haired Morse
man. 1t may also be shown that in
the mucous layers of the skin CT dark
compIexioned whites pigment cells
similar to those found in the negro's
skin are developed in exactly the same
way they are in the blacklist African.
Moreover, freckles are of the same ma
ture as the blackness which has SUI
fused the entire skin of many of the
tropical barbarian tribes"
