ARE PRICELESS TREASURES
SOME OF THE HOUSES OF WOR-
SHIP OF THE WORLD.
One Russian Cathedral Cost $50
100000. There Are Others
That Have Gold Roofs.

Several English newspaper CORE
spondents have, it is said, recently
been inspecting the Is, 1903 gold ingots
and IL, 500 sacks of gold coin, repre-
senting some Is, 900, 900 pounds in hard
cash, which are safely housed in the
Imperial Bank of Russia, and which
form Russia's gold reserve; but the
fabulous wealth of Russian churches
may be inspected by the ordinary
tourist without consulting finance min
listers or uniformed officials.
The dome of st. Isaac's Cathedral
in ST. Petersburg is the most cOnspic-
uous object in the city. 1t is covered
with copper overlaid with pure gold;
no less than $4,000 pounds of gold be-
ing melted down for the purpose. En-
tering the cathedral by the magnificent
bronze doors, "A feet wide and 30 feet
high, said to be the largest in the
world, the visitor is overwhelmed by
it's richness and massive splendOr.
The dome of the shrine is supported
by eight COrinthian pillars of mala-
chite, given by Prince Demidoff, and
valued at 200, 900 pounds. The total
cost of this cathedral is estimated at
10, 900, 600 pounds.
In the cathedral of the Kazan the
name of the Almighty blazes in dia-
mOnds from a cloud of beaten gold,
under which are solid silver doors 20
feet high, leading to the inner sane
tiary. This church contains beau
tiful picture of the Virgin Mary, COW
cred with gold and jewels valued at
Is, 600 pounds.
In the Monastery of ST. Alexander
Nevski, near the end of the Nevski
Prospect, is the shrine of the founder,
of pure silver, weighing no less than
3, $50 pounds.
Many of the churches of Moscow,
and they number some 400, contain
treasures of enormous value. In the
cathedral of the Assumption, situated
inside the Klerlin, is the most sacred
picture of Russia, the Virgin of Vladi-
mir painted by st. Luke. The jewels
which adorn it are valued at 45, 900
pounds, one emerald being said to be
worth 10000 pounds. Napoleon took
from the church five tons of silver and
five cwt. of gold, but it's most precious
treasures were concealed previous to
the French invasion and afterwards
restored

nunciatiOn, with its many golden
domes, are a pavement of agate and
jasper and the celebrated icon of the
Virgin of the Don, its most priced
possession.
The icon of the Iberian Mother of
God has small chapel to itself, just
outside the Kremlin. This icon is oc-
casionaIly taken out in gorgeous
carriage drawn by six horses, with
bareheaded attendants, to attend the
sick or dying. The fees for such
visits amount to 10000 pounds.
The cathedral of the Holy Savior in
Moscow is probably the most magnif-
cent church in the world. Its five Gu
polas are covered with pure gold one
eighth inch in thickness. It's internal
decorations are magnificent and very
costly. This church is the nations
thank-offering for the deliverance of
Moscow from the French. 1t took 80
years to build it, and it's cost has
been estimated at 100000 sterling.

a Spring Tonic

Almost every body needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question.
We have on file thousands of letters
which testify to the curative and pre-
ventive value of Peruna in cases of
nervous depression and run down con-
ditions of the system. We quote a
typical case:
Mr.. Frank Williams, 1886 S4th street,
New York City, member First Presby-
terrain Church and Captain Capitol Golf
Club, writes:

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manentuse in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. Itis permanent
in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible il
Peruns contained any drugs of nar-
cotic nature. All correspondence held
strictly confidential.

Alabama Farmers Abandoning Crops.

Specials to the Montgomery Adver-
tiser from Alabama points show that
in some instances farmers are being
compelled to abandon portions OF
their cotton crops on account of the
grass. This is due to the recent rainy
weather, which gave the weeds long
start on the cotton and to the scarcity
of labor prevailing.

A Study of Helen Gould.

Anne oHagan in Hapar's Bazar:
She is, in the main. q timid woman
not in TIE sense Of dreading danger,
but of fearing initiative.
She shows this also in her shrinking
from conspicuousness. None of the
breezy, sometimes blatant, ease and
freedom OF the newer type is hers. Nor
has she lost consciousness in the
largeness Of her work and its import
ancc. She resolutcly declines to be q
public iiau1e, in spite of her public
spirit and her public usefulness The
casual camera, the familiar interview,
are not to her liking. She cannot ac
cept their intrusionS and dismiss their
memory with a tolerant shrig; she
cannot cater good naturedly to The
curiosity Of the world as is the tradi
tionai habit of royalty, rulers, and tho
great in general.
1t may almost be said that Miss
Gonld's only ostentation is her hall
morbid unoslentation. IL shows Itself
i'm various ways. For instance, when

closed and she comes in from Irving
ton, she does not take a suite ut any
gorgeous hotel. She goes to the Mar

for smaller incomes than hers. She
dimes in the public dining room. There
