THE KING IF BELLS
One of the Sight; Looked For by
 Tourists in Moscow.
Its History Dates Back to the Six teenth Century-Broken and Re- cast il Number of Times
 Weighs IA, ,OOO Pounds.

Means of rapid communication have of recent years removed much of the charm and mystery that for centuries hung over Russia and especially Mos COW, with its quaint architecture. Half century ago it was thought that to see Moscow vas to see the last corner of the world, but to-day this city of the north is on the itinery of every globe trotting tourist, and for those not so fortunate as to have visited this an- eient seat of Museovite rule, the mod ern book and magazine writers have offered so many descriptions as to tear from it every remaining vestage of mystery. though not of it's charm. One of the first object the tourist in Mos COW seeks for is the Great Bell, famed in legend and history.
 On a granite pedestal at the foot of the belfry tower of Ivan the Great, in the Kremlin, stands the Tsar Kolokol, the King of Bells In the sixteenth century the art of casting bells was brought to perfection in Russia, and Olearius. secretary to a Dutch embassy, to Moscow in 1G36, asserts that a great bell was cast in the reign of Boris God unof. During a fire in the reign of Alexis this bell fell to the ground and was broken. In 1854 1t was recast and weighed 2SS.000 pounds In 1874 it was suspended from wooden beam at the foot of the tower. from whence it fell on June 19, 1706, during a fire. Its fragments lay on the ground until the reign of the Empress Anne, by whose orders it was again recast in 1733 by the bellfounder Ivan Matorine. Owing to the falling of some heavy rafters during yet another fire in 1737, the bell i. fell height of 15 feet, buried itself in the ground, and a piece was knocked out of its side. According to some ac- counts, this was owing to an imperfec- tion in the metal, caused by jewels and other treasures having been thrown into the liquid metal by the ladies of Moscow. During the reign of Nicholas l., in the year 1889. the architect of St. Isaac's cathedral at St Petersburg, M de Montferrand, took upon himself the difficult task of raising the bell, and completed the operation with much skill It's weight at present is All GOO pounds, it's height from the top of the ball and cross placed upon it by the or der of the Emperor Nicholas l. is 26

women, as find it insures regular and painless smenstruation cures leucorrhna and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. l also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies l know of. ," M. C. Gee, M. D.
 Catarrh is systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures eatarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does.
 Peruna immediately iuvigorates the nerve-centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then eatarrh dis appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr Hartman, giving q full statement of your case. and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis
