ancient of existing Christian churches,
in the tenth century made an appeal to
the Russians; they received the Chris
tan religion by way of the church at
Constantinople. At this time the great
Catholic church, though preserving a
certain unity, was divided; one part.

Rome; the other, the eastern. the
church of Constantinople. The Rus
slams Of the tenth century were pa
gans, but with minds open for a new
religion. The church at Constantine
pie appealed to Olga, widow of the
duke of Kief, and she was baptized.
When later (9SS) Vladimir, her grand
son, was baptized, Christianity became
the religion Of the Russian aristoc-
racy:
A writer in the Independent, speak
ing of the connection of church and
state, says: Russia received Chris
tianity in the tenth century from that
Byzantine church whose patriarchs
were in partnership more or less base
with the unattractive emperors of Con-
stantinople. Until long after the Turks
over threw the Byzantine empire, the
Russian church was mere dependent
of the patriarch of Constantinople,
who himself was a dependent upon the
Turkish sultan. 1t is strange lineage
for Christian church which we dis
cover in tracing the beginnings of
Christianity in Russia" ::
In 1858 the Russians received q
patriarch of their own at Moscow, but
we're still dependent upon the patri-
archaic at Constantinople. About 100
years later Nixon, patriarch of Mos

patriarch of ConstAntinople and
shocked at the state of his church.
endeavored to institute radical re-
forms. He was too spiritually minded
for his age, and was deposed by a gen
eral council. But In death his ideals
we're recognized and honored, and some
prevailed.
Peter the Great, car not afraid OF
innovations. and yet afraid of them
adopted certain Of Nikon's ideas, but
did away with the Office of patriarch OF
Moscow, fearful Of what a strong man
in that position might do. The patri-
archaic done away with, Peter elected
trusted men among the bishops and
archbishops and formed an ecclesias-
tical commission, the holy synod
which should look after the doctrine
and discipline of the church. To-day
this remains the system of govern,
ment in the Russian church.. The &C.
clesiastical affairs are conducted By
heads OF divisions. eparcnates, divided
into three classes: each under the SUI
perintendence of ITS own prelate, who
is metropolitan, an archbishop or &
bishop. p
The holy synod is regular depart

Curious Transportation.

A large Shipment of Ruberoid roof
ing some time ago went to Chinde.
East Africa. 1t had been ordered in
rolls two-thirds the usual size, in or
der to make them light enough in
weight to accommodate the native
carriers, who carry them into the In
terror Of British East Africa. The
outside label should be pasted on the
end of the rolls, instead Of at the
center, as Is usual The reason given
for this request is that the carriers
always carry the roofing on their
heads, and it was found they thought
the label, which was stuck on the mid
die of the roll. was meant to show
them where to put their heads. They.
therefore, moulded hollow in the roll
without damaging the roofing, SO that
it just fitted the shape Of their heads.
and so carried it very easily. The
Precipitation. however. completely de-
stroyed the label and made 1t unread
able. so that when the roofing reached
its destination they were unable to
distinguish the dihUfent piles. etc.

The question that troubles women
Is how can woman who has some fe-

NV Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

as it does today, and in our centen-
NAL year of 1876 VI was proposed to
sell the Old South simply for the
value of its briclSs and timbers, and
tear it down, that modern business
block might be built on its site. In
deed, it was sold-"kEocked down" at
auction to a bidder for the meager
sum of $1,315!
Suddenly a wave o. patriotic feel.
ing swept over the CITY Ct Boston.
The papers and some of the people
began to protest against the tearing
down of the old Sanctuary of Free
DOM" and movement was set on
foot to raise funds to buy the church
from it's purchaser, and to buy also
the ground on which it stood. This
good plan might never have succeed
ed had it not ben for one noble and
loyal woman in Boston, Mrs. Mary
Hemenway, of hallowed memory.
When the difficulty of securing funds
for the purchase of the old meeting
house became known to her, she came
forward with gift of 100000, and
thus the old Westinghouse was saved
to stand as an object lesson to the
children of future generations.
Having given such large sum to
help save the Old South Meeting
house, Mrs Hemenway felt that it
should be something more than
mere silent monument. She determ-
ined that it should be real, living
force in our country, and particularly
to the children of Boston. She oe-
termined that it should renew and
increase it's fame as a temple of free
dom, and that it's sacred walls should
again echo and re-echo to the sound
of patriotic utterances, and that some
of these utterances should come from
the lips of the boys and girls of Bos-
ton; and thus the Old South Lecture
Course and the Old South Prizes
were established. Each year a prize
of forty dollars and another of TWEEN
ty-five dollars are given to the grad
yates of the Boston high schools who
write the best essays on historic or
patriotic topics. The committee hav.
ing this work in charge announce the
subjects in June, just before the
schools close, and the competitors
must submit their essays the follow
ing January. Then on lWashington's
birthday there is patriotic gather
ing Of the school children of Boston
in the old Westinghouse, and the
names of the prize winners are an
nounced.-From ]. L. Harbour's "The

Old Woman Stopped Maneuvers.

when an old peasant woman held up
soldiers of the Second Corps d'Armee,
who are maneuvering in the district.
During an attack by the entire corps
and when the firing was heaviest, the
officers were surprised to see an old
woman march into the line of fire and
resolutely approach. The soldiers
signals having no effect, the COM
handing officer ordered the bugler to
sound the cease fire, and sent an on
Ger to arrest the woman. She took
no notice Of the officer. however. and,
entering the ranks, distributed an
apronful Of apples among the soldiers.
and then fastened away. amid roars
of laughter and cheers.

Is about as big as silver dollar, and
