RUSSIA AT CLOSE RANGE.
Canonization of St. Seraphim Called

Canonization of ST. Seraphim Called
Together Over 100000.
The act of canonization of st. Sera-
phim on Aug. 1, 1903, was treated by
the Russian authorities as a purely do
nestle concern. Diplomatic representa-
tives were not invited. Few foreigners
knew OF the matter beforehand, and
those who asked for permission to at
tend were Informed that all the accom-
modations of the monastery had been
assigned Even the leading British adj
vocate of union between the Anglican
and Orthodox churches Jared no better.
An Englishman and myself were, as
far as know the only foreigners that
went, and we were made to feel th4
our presence was undesired. Notwitn-
standing this and the discomforts we
shared with peasants wearing shee,,-
skin coats and birch bark footgear, we
were richly repaid by the opportunity
to study Russia at close range, and to
witness a marvellous manifestation of
the faith that expects and creates mir
acles.
The function of canonization called
together a camp meeting of more than
one hundred thousand people, a verita-
BILE nation assembled in faith, theo-
cratic witenagemot. Besides at least
ten myrlads of peasants, artisans and
small tradesmen-Russlan accounts
say 350,000-the ceremonies demanded
the presence Of the imperial family,
modified an army corps and no incon-
siderable number of police, and at
tracted host of civil and military dig
nitaries and clergymen of all grades.
The complicated action and interaction
of the autocratic, bureaucratic and
hierarchic machinery of church and
state were laid bare to an unusual ex-
tent. The Emperor and the court Wis
tied the haunts of the hermit, and
drank and laved themselves with wa
ter from the miraculous spring beside
which his hut was built His luncor-
rupted remains were placed in costly
casket beneath a massive silver canopy
Of monumental proportions, both the
gifts Of his Majesty, and the monastery

Cisimir Perier," he said, "who will
call you in few days to tell you that
the French government is favorable to

Unfortunately for Monsieur Bunau-
Varilla's plans, however, the ministry

The Dreaded Artist.

The thought Of possible cartoons
cannot well be absent from the minds
of men whom all the world knows.
L. A. Tollemache, the author OF
Talks with Mr.. Gladstone" tells
rot in the book-a story which pre-
sents the statesman in an attitude not
familiar in ordinary representations of
the great man.
One stormy day during one of Mr..
Gladstone's visits to Biarritz he
walked from his hotel to call on Mr..
Tollemache, who was amazed to see
that Mr.. Gladstone came without an
umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone laughingly explained
that If the high wind had happened
to turn his umbrella inside out, a pic
ture of him in that forlorn plight
would have found its way into half
the comic papers of Europe.

Then curl the part A over B, bringing

can sit in G and be hoisted to any

knot to make if you want to lead an
OK or horse by a halter, as it will not
slip and choke the animal. This is
really the most important knot that is
made. 1t is handy in making fast a
boats painter and in tying fish lines
and sinkers.

A SONG.

When pallid Dawn comes up the sky,
And Day and Night for moments brick
Touch hands and lips, the waking Sea
Bethinks her of some ancient grief.
Haggard and wrinkled, gray and grim,
She means the burden of her care,
The ghost of that wild thing that leapt
BY day the winds wild sport to share.
Belize the voices of the dead,
Tossed in her boundless charnel caves
Since mans first ship was drawn to
death,
Haunt her above her beating waves.
Or else there presses on her heart
The weight of immemorial age,
Before the sun brings back to mind
Her youths eternal heritage.

her to manage the boat-in these first
early spinrg days.
Maude looked upon her guest as her
property. She had long ago laughing
ly told him how unceremonious had
been his welcome to her, and he had
wooed and won absolution.
Sometimes Florence sighed as she
watched them together, while she sat
alone; but she gave to the sigh no
name, and thought the tribute to be
vanished years.
One day came her awakening.
Maude and Mr.. Grover had gone for
their afternoon ride, but 1t had ex-
tended beyond it's wont, and she had
grown anxious and ventured forth to
meet them, striking into the forest
path which was their favorite way.
A half-mile from her home she met
Maude's horse, riderless. Pale with
terror, she FASTENED on, when sudden
ly she stopped, rooted to tho spot.
Almost at her feet knelt the man
her heart had loved always. and in his
arms he held Maude's unconscious
form.

word being borne distinctly to her.
"Speak TO me once-just once! Oh,
Maude, are you hurt? My darling! my
darling, Would that l might have
given my life for yours!'
Then he stopped and pressed his
lips to hers. A long, fluttering sigh
escaper them.

When a few hours later they knew
that there was no need for anxiety on
MaUde's account, Florence shut her
self up within her own room to fight
her battle.

And, for the first time In her life,
there came feeling of bitter resent

library as she entered.

The mans face paled.
She could almost see him grid his
soul for the conflict, and crush out his
heart behind his honor.
Even Maude looked up, with a sus-
picion of coming trouble.
''It is only this, dear" she said, turn

Then she saw that the steel had
struck home. The girl answered moth

full eyes to him, who dare not meet
their gaze.

she said, calling up all her woman's

Then she FASTENED from the room to

Some audacious experimenters have

Several lots of caterpillars were fed
from their birth upon leaves i2npreg-
mated with red dye. They ate their
livid meals without any show of re-

reddish tint throughout the body.
When allowed to spin on freshly col
lected natural branches these worms
produced red-tinted silk, the whole
