GREAT RUSSIAN POET.

hundred years ago Russia gave
birth to one who was destined to be-
come the brightest star in her sparse
ly studded galaxy of poetic genius
Pushkin and Mickiewicz share the
honor of being the two representative
poets of the Slavonic race. and the
only poets of their country who have
attained worldwide celebrity. In the
productions of this strange genius.
Pushkin, Russian poetry first became
an independent power. His writings
were at once the type and expression
of his country's nationality, and they
have become part of the household Ian
guage of his native land He is I'M
deniably the national poet of Russia
Pushkin's birth and parentage are
more than usually interesting and sig
nificant. The founder of the family
was a German warrior. who migrated
into Russia and obtained great renown
in the art of war One of the more cell
ebrated of the poets ancestors was Ga
Of Demetrius the Pretender, that I'M
fortunate impostor who so nearly be-
came emperor of all the Russias. This
ancestor plays an important part in the
poets historical tragedy, Boris God
unoff. But on his mothers side Push
kin's descent is still more peculiar.
His mother was the granddaughter of

TO Expel Foreign Bodies.

To remove foreign bodies from the
nose is often matter of some Difficult
ty, more especially when they have
been forced or drawn by inspiratory-
shutting efforts up the nostril. Here
is simple maneuver which has been
practiced on such occasions with sue
cess:
While the child lies on its mothers
lap screaming, place a thin cloth or
handkerchief over the mouth and face,
place your own mouth to that of the
child, then give sudden, forcible puff.
The effect of this is to expel, or at least
to send forward. the contents of the
nostrils. In this way plum stone
has been blown clear out of the nose,
and in other cases a button or other
foreign body has been shifted so near
to the external mares as to render it
easy of removal and thus save great
deal of painful and difficult poking
about in the recesses of the nostril.

The Chinese wall is one of the eight
wonders Of the world, with which the

1t has always been, it is gratifying to
know that the material it contains is
to be turned to some practical use at
last. II the Chinese rivers that so
often prove destructive to everything
near them, can be confined within their
banks by the contemplated building Of
a new Chinese wall, it may be said that
Shi-Hwang-Ti after all builded better

Friendship Insurance.

That there may be such thing as
carrying insurance too far is indicated
by the case of Mr.. Mulcahy and Mr..
Mulhooly, two Irish gentlemen.
Though they were known to be great
friends, they were one day observed
to pass each other in the street with
out a greeting. why, Mulcahy," a
friend asked, in establishment, have
you and Mulhooly quarreled?" THAT
we have notr said Mr.. Mulcahy, with
earnestness. There seemed to be a

Every one was accounted for either

the fear of the conflagration and the
scenes he witnessed there, fled to the
woods and has roamed there ever since,
living on wild animals and birds and
sleeping in hollow trees and caves.

pensively built than any great en-
bankment or tunnel produced by mod
ern engineering, and have endured
longer than walls built during the
present time will last.
An appropriate estimate of the ma
sonry in the Great Wall Of China from
such data as is obtainable-a wall that
would extend from Philadelphia to
Omaha if it could be lifted from its
place and transferred to the western
hemisphere-would make it measure
the extraordinary total of 3.0l2,000,000
cubic feet
These figures indicate an immensely
so great that the mind is unable to
grasp the full meaning Of the idea Il
conveys. Assuming that the bricks
are of the ordinary size of modern
bricks this would make a grand total
of 64,456, 100000 bricks in this one
stupendous work The immensely in
dicated by thees figures is equally be-
yond the grasp of the human mind.
The only way to obtain any adequate
idea Of the immensely of the wall is
to compare it to some familiar bufld-
ing of great size. The Public
Building, in Penn Square, as a fit ex-
ample for comparison. That great
structure as it stands contains 1,125,744
cubic feet of masonry. The masonry
of the Chinese wall would make a
structure thirty times as long and thir-
ty times as high.
The accompanying Illustration shows
what speck the present structure is
in comparison with the space that
would be occupied by building in
creased thirty times its length and
height.
1t is equally difficult to conceive the
number of laborers that would be re-
CURED to construct such a work in ten
years. Judging from the history of our
Public Building Commission during
the last quarter of a century the work
would still be incomplete if it had

at once, but with marvellous strength
for SO old a man he wriggled himself
free from the OBTAINING grasps and
sprang forward again. When he was
captured second time one of the fore
most in the posse threw himself upon
the wild man and the two rolled upon
the ground in a fearful struggle, strik-
ing and scratching at each other. The
farmer endeavored to grasp on the
throat OF the wild man, but the latter
was too wary and tore off the hand half
dozen times. Meanwhile the rest of
the posse were lowering around the
two struggling men, seeking to lend
aid to their companion, but fearing to
injure him by interfering. AT last the
farmer who was wrestling with the
crazed man proved the stronger of the
two and succeeded in turning his adj
yersary on his back. At once a dozen
strong men seized the wild man and
ropes were thrown around him and he
was rendered incapable Of doing any
further damage.

Each stone had to be brought by hand
hundreds of miles and a ChiHaman

Thousand mile rampant"
The reat Wall of China, like other
wonders of the world, never served the
purpose for which it was intended. 1t
was built by the first universal emperor
of China ShiHwang to prevent
the barbarians on his northern and
northwestern frontier from making in
'cursions into his domnions. Like
Weylers less stupendous and equally
useless trochas in the island Of Cuba,
II always failed to keep the barbarians
out when they chose to scale the great
rampant and invade the Celestial EN-
piTe.
For many centuries it has served no
purpose whatever, not even nominally.
unless it was to embellish the school
biographies of the western barbarians.
Few travellers were ever permitted to
visit 1t and there are no authentic de-
scriptions of it in its present condition.
Indeed its very existence has been de-
MED. A dozen years ago a paragraph
was printed in nearly all the newspa-
pers of Europe and America declaring
that il was a myth. While this was
not true, it is not so interesting to
know that the great wall is as that
n is to cease to be.
According to the usually accepted ac-
counts the Great Chinese Wall is L.
255 miles long, but as it follows the
undn!ations of hill and vale" scaling
the precipiees and topping the craggy
hills Of the country" as Lord Jocelyn
described it sixty years ago-its ac-
tual length reaches ] 500 miles. 1t is
not all solid masonry, as has often
been supposed. 1t is formed of two
strong retaining brick walls, the in
tervening space filled with earth and
stones. The breadth at the base is
about 25 feet deep and at the top Is
feet Six horsemen can ride abreast
upon its summit. In height it varies
from IS to 80 feet At distance of
about one hundred yards apart there
are towers, many of them 40 feet high.
The surface of the wall for the great
,er part Of its length was a covering of
brick. AS the six horsemen never rode
abreast along this rampant to any ex-

an African who was brought to Russia
by Peter the Great, who gave him the
name of Hannibal, and placed him in
the navy, where he rose to the rank OF
admiral Thus the poet blended in him
self the cold temperament OF the Teu-
ton with the fiery, untamed spirit of
the children Of the desert. To this an
cestor he dedicated more than one Of
his smaller works, and he makes FREE
quent and proud allusion to his Afri-
can descent.
His education was erratic. many
teachers having him in charge. A
young Scotchwoman taught him Eng
lish literature, and Russian woman
trained him in the literature of his
own country. Pushkin was poor
scholar, though he read widely. He
was irascible gloomy and imperious.
His poetry was the first ever read by
the peasantry, and he was worshiped
throughout Europe by the lower
classes as well as being favorite
with the nobility. He died at 3S, being
killed in a duel.
