The Panic in a Russian Church.

The terrible panic which occurred in
an Orthodox church in the village OF
khmelovo, near the town of Kozloff on
the oath ult., was far more disastrous in
its consequences than it was represented
to be at the first kilograms on the SUBJ
ject. The church had been newly built
and vesper service was being held in
connection with it's conservation. The
large town of kozloff being not more
than eight miles off. there We're many
townsmen as we'll as peasants from the
surrounding country. AS the ventilators
had not been opened at first it became
necessary to throw open somewhat sud-
denly both ventilators and windows,
whereupon dense clouds of vapor issued
forth from the steaming congregation
within. which was mistaken by the crowd
outside for smoke, especially as at the
same moment a blaze of light was pro-
duced by the lighting up of all the cam
delabra. The candles in the chandeliers
of Russian churches are lighted by ignit-
ing the end of an inflammable thread pre-
vioUSly attached to all the wicks. The
people outside imagined that the altar
screen was burning, and set up frantic
cries of Fire and Help The crowd
ed worshippers crushed towards the door.
The scene and the results which fol-
lowed remind one of the khodinsky Plain
disaster. There was no medical aid near
er than KOzloff. and when the morning
dawned there was a vast heap of dead
and dying. Altogether "A persons were
killed. including Is pregnant women, and
100 were more or less seriously injured

THE WATCH As A CURIOSITY.
Some Facts Not Commonly Known About
The Pocket Timepiece.

Open your watch and look at the little
wheels. springs and screws, each an in
diSpensable part of the whole wonderful
machine. Notice the busy balance wheel
as II flies to and fro increasingly. day and
night, year in and year out This won
derful little machine is the result of hum
dreds of years of study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average man
is composed of IS pieces, and its manu-
facture embraces more than 1000 distinct
ana separate operations. Some of the
smallest screws are so minute that the
unaided eyes cannot distinguish them
from steel filings or specks of dirt I'm
der powerful magnifying glass a per-
feet screw Is revealed. The slit at the
head Is 2-l0O of an inch WIDE 1t takes
3Os,oOO of these screws to weigh a pound,
and pound is worth $15S5. The hair
spring is Il strip of the finest steel, about
91s inches long, LOO inch wide. 27-l0 900
inch thick. 1t is coiled up in spiral form
and finely tempered. The process of
tempering these springs was long held
as secret by the few fortunate ones
possessing it. and even now is not gener-
ally known. Their manufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip is gagged
to 20-lOO of an inch, but no measuring in
strument has as yet been devised capa-
BILE of fine enough gauging to determine
beforehand by the size of the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will
be. a-100O part of an inch difference in
ference in the running of watch of
about six minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from which
they are made. A comparison will give a
good idea. ton of steel made up into
hairsprings when in watches is worth
more than twelve and one-half times the
value of the same weight in pure gold.
Hairspring wire weighs 1-20 of grain to
the inch. One mile of wire weighs less
than half pound. The balance gives
five vibrations every second, 300 every
minute $1,000 every hour. $4,000 every
day. and ISL $50, 900 every year. At each
vibration 1t rotates about one and one
fourth times. which makes 1871, 100 900 rev.
olutions every year. Take for illustra-
ton. a locomotive with six-foot driving
wheels. Let its wheels be run until they
have given the same number of revolu-
tons that a watch does in one year, and
they will have covered a distance equal
to twenty-eight complete circuits of the
earth. All this a watch does without
other attention than winding once every
twenty-fOur hours.

Cheeriu!ness at Home.

perhaps there is nothing that adds
more to the happiness of home than
the habit of cheerfulness," writes Mrs.
F. NJ Colby in the December Woman s
Home Companion. at is a potent factor
in the secret of housekeeping, and the
housewife who has always pleasant
smile and a soothing word has already
acquired one of the most valuable ac-
complishments. AS long ago as the days
of the wise man a merry countenance
be pleasant. Yet how many neglect this
important requirement. Some women
are constitutionally cross and morose:
others are weak and nervous, and are
made fretful by the exactions of their
household cares. But there is no excuse
for much of the friction that exists in
many households. 1 have been in some
where the atmosphere seemed actually
to bristle with hostilities. Everybody
was in fret, and frowns and cross
words were the rule and not the excep-
ton. How uncomfortable life in such n
home must be to the inmates. as we'll as
to the passing guests. One learns to
shun such homes as one would pest
house.
IAN women cannot be beautiful. but it
is the duty of every woman to look as
well as she can, and nothing adds more
to a woman's good looks than a cheerful
countenance. Il have always, said the
good Vicar of Wakefield. been an admir-
er OF happy human faces. Hc ScutI-
ment is universal. The pleasure thus de-
rived compensates for the absence Of
beauty, and supplies the deficiency OF
symmetry and grace.
"Cheerfulness can be cultivated and ac-
auired as well as other qualities. If ones
work is exacting and tiresome, it makes
It no easier by being fretful Form the
habit of being cheerful under adverse
circumstances. Our happiness observes
a standard writer. is sacred deposit for
which we must give account A serene
and amiable temper is among its most eff
ficient preservatives. 1t is virtue not
to be gainsaid. Admiral Collingwood,
one of England's great naval heroes. In
his letters to his daughters. says. i new
err knew your mother to utter harsh or
hasty thing to any person in my life
What loftier eulogy could woman have
than that?.
Some women are naturally cheerful.
but allow themselves to be put out by
little things. Suppose the servant has
broken DISH or the butter doesn't come,
or your husband comes home to dinner
late. does it mend matters bysany impa-
tent complaint? Preserve your eaua-
nimity. The world was not made III a
day, nor was it made all flowers and rip
ping sunshine. Your work will go
along much smoother. you will accom-
plish more. and you will make others
happier by being cheerful.
