The Empress Anne liked fine clothes 20
much that the Oldest courtier. with white

Russian court reached its greatest splendor
under Catherine II, for In her reign men
and women seemed to challenge each other
as to who should be most loaded with dia-

This expression Is not exaggerated, for
numbers of the principal people of fashion
were almost covered with hem-thei but
tons their buckles. the scabbards of their
swords and their epaulets consisted Of dla-

triple cord OF precious stones around the
borders OF their hats.

this class of persons were families who

Most Remarkable Canal

The most remarkable canal "a the
world is the one between Worsley and
St Helens, in the North OF England.
1t is sixteen miles long and under
ground from end to end. In Lancashire
the coal mines are very extensive, half
the country being undermined. Many
years ago the managers OF the Duke OF
Brldgewater's estates thought they
could save money by transporting the
coal underground instead Of on the sur
face; therefore the canal was construct
ed and the mines connected and drain
ed at the same time Ordinary canal
boats are used, the power being fur
nished by men. The tunnel arch over
the canal is provided with cross pieces,

more serious. There was some abate-

idly approaching a point equal to the
highest noted since the meteorologi-
cal Office was establihed in 1866. Riv-

with and great inconvenience has been
caused in several towns by inunda-
tons. Acres of gran are under water
in Yorkshire. and reports Of general
floods come from the north of Eng
land.
