chance to get in. All devoutly blessed the
picture and crossed themselves continuous

the boat he built, this latter placed between
his cottage and the outer building. The
heat in the little chapel, with the lighted
candles ard the packed little mass Of not
too clean humanity, was excessive, and the
peTspiration stood out on the faces of
priests and choir, who went about their
work in quiet, businesslike fashion; but
the devotion OF the crowd TO memory, to a
something they themselves perchance could
not explain was very apparent.
Ostensjbly it was the holy picture, but ii
IS the INK between the picture and Peter

This Peter who built st. Petersburg gave
Russia 4 port and q navy and started her
on her mountaineering career The fierce
remorseless, indom:table restlessness of the
man and his crimes are forgotten; all the
bloodshed he caused in seizing upon the
sole rule and his ill-planned campaigns

murder of his own son, Alexis which rumor
and tradition lay to his charge-all is for

Jewels. the tools with which he worked,
his writings, his books, everything is treas

PETER THE GREATS MEMORY.
How the Great Gear Is WOrshfped in
the Empire that He Built Up.
Black and White.

Black and White.
Peter has become almost a cult in Russia
Go to his cottage on the banks of the
Neva on a Russian holiday, and you will
have to fall in queue and squeeze your way
into his little room, ostensibly to kiss a
holy picture, but this holy picture is mixed
up in the Russians mind with Peter the
Great. The Mouiik looks around on the lit
tie home Peter built for himself on the
Neva marshes as If he looked on the relics
of a saint. Peter was essentially a man of
acuOn--an artisan of genius, his handi-
work and the tools he used prove; yet
born commander, restless, ruthless When
near the site of his future St. Petersburg
he saw tree SCARED with mark high
above the ground, and he asked of the peas
ants near:
What is that?"
'"The height to which the waters rose in
$780, replied a peasant.
You liei'' cried Peter He cut the tree
down. He was not to be deferred by the
fact that floods had swept over his chosen
site, and his masterfulness is to-day felt
by the Russians until they have nearly
made u god of him. 1t is impossible now to
see the exterior of Peters cottage on the
Neva'S banks, for a stone house was built
by Catherine IL over it as a shell to pre-
serve this wooden cottage, and so the out
ward appearance is gone. Inside this stone
this has very foolishly lately been painted
to initiate bricks; but inside you can see
in one room the type of place Peter lived
and worked in. Here in this one little room
there are but two in the cottage-are the
oak furniture, old leather chairs. a little
boat, and the worn little wooden bench seat
on which ne sat at his door and dreamed
OF the future capital, or raved at those who
carried out his orders or failed to do So
In this room he transacted business with
his ministers of state and received foreign
ambassadors
The very greatness of the man forces
itself upon one by this act alone He the
Gar, with all the jeweled group of the
Kremlin to enshroud himself with sitting
on this bench or in his timber hut and Great
ing a power that in less than two centuries
was to rule s.alf the world The other room
of the cottage is also greatly transformed:
it was Peters sleeping and dining room:
row it is a chapel and a picture of our
Savior which Peter took with him on all his
travels, and which he bore with him at the
famous battle of Poltava, hangs here. It
is in, a gilt frame with q jeweled crown that.
as is usual in Russian towns. quite over
shadows the picture.
Not long ago / went out to this cottage
on 2 Russian saints day. and service was
being performed in the chapel. A small
