Russis N the Eighteenth Century.
Peter the Great said of his country
and said truly, Russia is rotten be-
fore she is ripe.r To realize the true
meaning Of these words and the full
ness Of their implication one must
study in detail the reigns of Elizabeth
and Catherine IL In: Russia during
the eighteenth century were to. be
found side by side the vices alike Of
savagery and civilization. Add to the
lack of social instinct, of humanity in
the wider sense and Of moral respon-
sibility that is to be found in Zulu
kraal, the worst corrnptfons that are
bred in courts like that of Louis XIV,
and one can form some faint notion
Of the Russian capital under Eliza
beth and Catherine ~ zg9 f. +t4t.,t%&5g88
The country, as whole, was orien-
tai in it's want of civil organization.
but without the idealfsm OF the east.
The capital was welter Of blood and
lust barbarism and, sophistry, atheism
and superstition, drunkenness and saw
age violence, Incidence and, semi-in-
sane activity. The moral condition
was reflected in the physical. Never
was there such q mixture Of sqnalor
and magnifeence as In the palaces Of
the Empress Elizabeth. The rudest
and the most costly furniture wers
5umbled together. Filth and splendor
were always alternating, and the lyilest
food was eaten: Of plates Of gold

,BuoYS ON THE COAST.
The Lighthouse. Department Uses
seven Different Kinds.

The Lighthouse Department Uses
seven Different Kinds.
Seven styles or kinds of buoys are
recognized and used by the lighthouse
department Of our government. u They
are known as the nun, cam cone, ice,
whistling bell and spar buoys, and, ac-
cording. to their size, the nun, can and
ice buoys are divided into four classes,
The nun, can, cone and ice buoys are
made Of steel. The upper parts Of
these buoys are generally modelled in
the frustrum of cone, with the ex-
ception of the ice buoy, which is sim.
liar in shape to spar buoy, tapering
at the ends. SsSs $Ssk{s
These buoys, are fastened to the
ledge or bottom OF the channel by
means of chains, shackles, swivets and
ballast balls, which move freely with
the current Of the water at all stages
Of the tides. The lower ends Of the
mooring chains OF these buoys are al
SO connected either to q sinker or. a
mushroom anchor, which is an anchor
with a saucer shaped head onia CEN
tral shank. ss&ga 4}l@.tfzfssstta cas- 4 I'D
! The bell buoy is a circular shell of
steel, forming the main body Or float
Of the buoy. The bells used are made
Of the. best quality of bell metal, cop
per 80 per cent and block tin 80 per
cent, and, usually. weigh about 200
pounds. We believe the government
stipulation Is that all bells for sea
buoys shall weigh BOG pounds. Il zs; r4
Perhaps the most ingenious Of all
the classes of buoys used by the light
house board is the swhistling buoy,
which is fitted with an apparatus by
which air compressed by the move
ment of the waves is made to escape
through a tube, thus producing d
whistling sound. This apparatus con-
sists of a whistle, "A check valve and
the necessary. connecting pipes. The
whistling buoy Is protected by an out
or guard or cage. .+
There are three classes Of spar
buoys,. ranked according to length and
size from the first class, .forty-fYe
to fifty feet long, down to the fourth
class, twenty feet in length, to be
placed in position in accordance with
the height OF, the incoming tide ii or
der to be effectual. These are usually
moored to q mushroom anchor. There
is also; a starboard and a port. hand
buoy used for marking the, course Of
the channels. These are cone shaped
buoys about thirty feet in length, at
tached at the bottom end by, shackles
and straps. sFs,.,,. -, r. -, :,
The colors Of tie bnoys are inter:
esting. Red bnoys mark the starboard
or right hand side Of the channel com
ing from seward and the black the
port or left hand SIDE. Midchannel
dangers and distractions are marked
with buoys having black + and red
transverse stripes and midchannel
buoys black ana white stripes. Buoys
marking wrecks are painted green.
The starboard and front buoys are
numbered from the seaward! end Of the
channel toward the aharbor,l the black
bearing the odd and the red the even
numbers.--Bangor Commercial. obi

Homemade Paint

Paint not only improves prop
erty, but makes the persons
living on the place where it is
used feel that thew have a more
inviting home. Such things are
likely to Influence ones sell.
respect. Very frequently the
cost of the paint is the reason
why farm homes are not made
more attractive. The following
simple formula for making an at
tractive and durable paint at
home very cheaply does away
with the excuse that the expense
of painting is too great to be
afforded.
Into one gallon of skim milk
stir about three pounds Of Port
land cement. The cement will
have a tendency to settle to the
bottom and the paint must be
stirred quite often to avoid this.
Mix no more than can be used
during the day. Paint powder
can be used to get a desired
color. Venetian red would be
often used for painting barns,
barnyard gates, etc.
Such paint is SO cheap that
most persons are likely to imag-
inc it has little value; but il has
been known to last upward of
twenty years.
Without coloring or with some
light tint il will be found very
suitable about the dairy, ia the
chicken house, and many times
even about the residence. It
will be found better to expert.
ment first on gates and other
small objects, SO that one gains
some experience with mixing
and handling the paint before
objects OF greater importance
are begun on. In using a pow.
der for color, care should be
taken to add it very gradually
and to stir it thoroughly, to be
sure that the desired effect will
be attained. The powder had
better be worked into a thick
paste and later thinned. This
will make the mixing easier.

unfortunately do. What is the

POSTAGE Stamp Costume.

Over 10000 postage stamps were
used in the making of a dress for an
American lady, which she owre at a
ball at Bermuda short time ago.
Years had been spent in collecting the
stamps, and three weeks in making
the dress, which was of the finest mus
lin. The lady appealed to her friends
to help her, and the dress was COM
pletely covered with stamps of all ma
lions. In the center of the breast was
an eagle made entirely with brown
Columbian stamps. Suspended from
the talons was a globe made of very
old blue revenue stamps. On either
side of the globe was an American flag
the stripes of blue and red stamps. A
collection of foreign stamps was past
ed on the back of the bodice in the
form of a shield, the center of which
was made up of a portrait Of the brave
Sir George Summers, out from old
revenue stamps. A large picture hat
covered with red and blue stamps was
worn with the costume; a mask and
very pretty fan were covered entirely
with pink.

| With the taxable valuation Of the

| less than last year there will still be
q reduction In taxes, to be paid next
| tween 70 mills, the levy last year and
1886, the levy for next year, which
has just been completed by the board
of supervisors. or the reduction OF
1853 mills, 2.363 was made by the ways
and means committee Of the city coun-
ell, and the balance, s. of mill, was
cut from the consolidated, or county
tax, by the board of supervisors.
The eliminating of two items in the
| consolidated tax by the board of SUI
pervisors, those of IS mill for soldiers
relief ana the other OF ] mill for coun-
ty bonds, with slight increase in 9th
Ell items makes the difference OF 8
which the supervisors made in the
| county tax late Wednesday afternoon.
In the soldiers relief fund the county
has already enough money SO no levy
was necessary. There is but one coun-
~ bond of $1,000 outstanding, and the
county has enough money in that fund
not only to pay the interest but the
principal as well. This is the only
outstanding indebtedness against the
county, and 1t only due to the holder
of the bond refusing to allow the
county to take it up that 1t was not
bought this year. The holder would
rather have the interest, and insists
on holding 1t until 1t natures next
year. When 1t Is taken up the indeb-
tedness of the county will be wiped out
and 1t will be free from all debt
The lower taxable valuation is due
chiefly to the reduction of per cent
made by the state board of equaliza-
ton on all farm land in the county.
Last year this valuation totaled 49,
604,239, while with the reduction 1T is
now but $7.S08,4S6, and the result is
that while the valuation on which the
farmer will pay taxes will be less than
last year. the assessment will also, be
less, and the difference in taxes will
be considerable item.
The items making up the total levy
is as follows:
