BLESSING
THE WATERS

Aiidwinter in st. Petersburg each year
Bees a unique and solemn ceremony, called
"the blessing OF the waters" 1t was in
the closing act Of the ceremony two days
ago that the attempt was made TO as
sassinate the Car. A chapel of ice, richly
decorated with ornaments from the pal
aces and churches and dedicated 20 St.
John the Baptist, is erected on the frozen
surface Of the River Neva. The river is
then called the Jordan and religious serv-
ces are conducted in the temple by the
metropolitan or high priest OF the national
church, attended by the emperor and all
his court. The ceremony is in memory of
the baptism Of Christ, and is supposed to
be a safeguard against dangers from
Hoods, as well as TO benefit those who
make their living on the sea.
A hole is cut in the ice in the center OF
the floor Of the chapel. From this the peo-
pie are baptized by sprinkling by the
priests, and the faithful members OF the
Greek church go in vast crowds TO get
their share. while religious devotees often
plunge into the ice-cold flood through the
hole. If they catch cold and die, as they
often do, heaven Is secured for them. on
the evening before the ceremony devout
churchmen make crosses on their thres-
holds TO prevent the evil spirits that are
driven from the water from taking refuge
In their houses.
Both a blessing and curse to St.
Petersburg Is the River Neva. Upon its
banks the most magnificent palaces an.
erected. The numerous islands are parks
or pleasure grounds of the people and are
filled with resorts that are thronged dur
| ing the winter and summer months. There
Is only one permanent bridge. the re-
mainder being so constructed that they
can be removed when the stream freezes
over, as it usually does in November.
when the teams aud pedestrians pass over
on the ice till April. The Jockey club holds
Its race meetings on the ice
But when the spring thaw comes or
when a strong northwesterly wind blows
the water in from the sea several DAYS in
succession, there is great danger Of food.
for the city is not more than four feet
above the mean level Of the river When
q flood is coming the inhabitants are
warned by the firing Of guns. Ice jams
are removed by dynamite and the army
6 ordered out with axes. There is no way
TO prevent the floods that come with the
winds.

Hale White the author of Pilgrims
Progress" is described as follows: HE
appeared in countenance to be a stern

mild and affable not given to loquacity
or much discourse in company unless
lsome urgent occasion required it. He
never boasted Of himself or his parts.
He abhorred lying and swearing, being
Just in all that lay in his power to his
word, not seeming to revenge injuries,
loving to reconcile differences and
make friendship with all. He had a
sharp, quick eye, accompanied with an
excellent discerning of persons, being
Of good judgment and quick wit. As
for his person, he was tall of stature,
strong boned. though not corpulent,
somewhat of a ruddy face, with spar
king eyes, wearing his hair on his up
per lip after the old British fashion.
his hair reddish, but in his latter days
time had sprlnkled it with gray. His
nose was well set, but not declining or
bending, and his mouth moderately
large, his forehead something high and

SHORT END FOR M'GRAW
t Was the Strenuous. Life Travelling
With the Detroit Team.

George Mullen says that one of the
most strenuous experiences in his life
was his travels around the country
with the Detroit team several years
|ago. At this time Detroit had such
'well-known "crabs" as "Ducky"
.Holmes, Jimmy Casey Jimmy Barrett,
Norman Elberfeld, kid" Gleason and
Others who would as soon start a fight
as steal a base.
They were of that style Of a ball
player who would say to another
'Wen, If you don't take a punch at him
will"
1t seems that this aggregation or one
Of il put "Scrappy" McGraw out of
business on one occasion, and as
events proved it put the aggressive
Header out of baseball for good as far
as the playing end of il is concerned.
It seems that Detroit was playing Bal
umore at the latter city and McGraw,
who is not the most loved of ball
players. was particularly cranky that
day.
He got 'Ducky" Holmes worked up,
land as the Duck" is no angel he told
. the Baltimore crowd to look out. The
second time "Ducky" came up Nc
Graw told him to look out for himself
. If he got as far as third and Holmes
replied that he (McGraw) might be up
against It himself. 'Ducky" got a
hit and on coming down to first made
a dive feet first for Dan Mccain, who
+ quickly stepped out of the way.
'Ducky" was cautious going to sec
ond, a Jimmy Williams and Gilbert
were well liked. but when he started
for third on an infield play everybody
knew something was doing. McGraw
did not move and Holmes came at him
like a catapult. and. jumping high in
the air, slid into "Scrappy" and struck
him on the knee with both feet.
Down went the Baltimore third base
man, and when he came up he made
a punch at Holmes, who retaliateo

field, and Joe Kelley. manager OF the
Reds came running in. but by the
time they reached the infeld the trou-
BILE was over and McGraw left the field
never to return again as a regular
player. Bresnahan went to third anc

Cold the morning, late the sunrise.
Slow my pulses sluggish beat;
Rings the milk carts noisy clangor
Out upon the frozen street.
Stn feel a sense Of comfort,
! myself expectant hug,
For the buffers on the buckwheat
And the sirups IN the jug.
Late last eve with friends fingered,
Fiched some needed hours from rest
Saw my chum walk OF triumphant
With the girl I like the best.
Sadly from my glass this morning
Cleans my poor, forsaken mug
But tho buffers on the buckwheat
And the sirup's in the jug.
Dark before me looms the shadow
of a day with care beset;
Pressure Of a lot Of business
I'd be happy to forget.
These stink back into the distance,
And oblivion's wall they hug
When the buffers on che buckwheat
And the sirup's In the jug.
Cold no longer CLEANS the sunshine;
Steadily my pulses throb.
