Scene of Many Tragedies.
Here Ivan the Terrible, murderer Of
1900 men and women, held his grim
sway. Here, when a boy, Peter the
Great saw his two uncles butchered
Here Boris Goodunuff, craftiest of the
boyars, smiled and cringed until his
chance came and then usurped the
throne. Here every car and scion of
the royal line of Rurik has been
buried, usually after a violent end.
Here Napoleon's star began to set in
the smoke of flaming houses. Here
Grand Duke Sergius was blown to
pieces by bomb less than one year
ago. If ghosts returned to earth to
haunt the scenes Of tragedies, Mos
COW would be populated with uncan-

After passing down the very streets
which only the other day were stained
with blood and strewn with corpses,
through the Red Square and along the
walls of the Kremlin, Theophile Gau-
tier, the famous Frenchman of letters,
wrote
Before long we reached the Kitai-
Gorod, which is the business quarter
on the Krasnaia, the Red Square, or
rather the beautiful square, for IN
Russia the words red and beautiful
are synonymous. One of the sides of
this is occupied by the long facade of
the Gostiny-Dvor, an immense bazaar,
intersected by streets, covered with
glass roofs and containing not less
than 5000 shops. The wall Of the
Kremlin, or Kreml, rises at the other
extremity, with its doors pierced in its
steep-roofed towers, allowing a
glimpse over its battlements of the GU
polas, towers and spires of the
churches and converts within.

Recognized by His Lnnr.

An eminent Scotch surgeon and pro-
fessor in the University of Edinburgh
was entirely devoted to his profession.
A quaint incident in his practice will
show this. The poet Tennyson had at
one time consulted him about some af-
fection of the lungs. Years afterward
he returned on the same errand. On
being announced he was nettled TO OBJ
serve that Mr.. Syme had neither any
recollection of his face nor, still more
CALLING. acquaintance with his name.
Tennyson thereupon mentioned the
fact of his former visit. Still Syme
failed to remember him. But when
the professor put his ear to the poets
chest and heard the peculiar sound
which the old ailment had made chron-
ic he at once exclaimed: "Ah. l remem-
Der you now! l know you by yorr
lung" Can you imagine a greater hu-
initiation for poet than to be known.

PINK LEMONADE.
The Story of It's Introduction to the
Circus Public.


Circus Public.
"Old Peter Conklin, the clown" said
circus official, was the first to give
pink lemonade to the world.
1t dates back to 1857, when Conklin
was travelling in the south with Jere
Mabies big show COnklin had dis
pute with Mabie and jumped the show
down in Texas. I've had the story
right from his own lips He bought a
couple of mules and an old covered
wagon, some tubs, tartaric acid, a
lemon, bushel or two of peanuts and
started in the refreshment business.
He followed the circus with his wagon,
and every time the tents were pitched
he would mount a box and harangue
the crowd with:
Here is your ice cold lemonade,
Made in the shade.
Stick your finger in the glass;
It'n freeze fast.
"The lemonade sold splendidly, and
he couldn't wait on the people fast
enough. One day he was surrounded
by a mob scrambling for the juice,
hANh las NoNNA supply Ahh OIls 1hCAS
were no wells or springs at hand. He
rushed into the big tent, but there was
ne'er drop of water to be had. In his
excitement he invaded the dressing
tent. Fannie Jameson, the bareback
rider, was wringing out a pair of pink
tights, the aniline dye coloring the wa
ter very pretty shade Conllin didn't
stop to ask any questions. He grabbed
up the tub and ran. Into the tub he
threw some acid and the property lem,
on and called out:
"'COme quickly. Buy some fine
strawberry Lemonade
His sales were doubled that day
and since then no we'll regulated circus
is without pink lemonade. However
we do not make it the same way now
and sometimes strawberries are used
as we'll as lemons. "-EXchange.

BRUNSWICK STEW.
A GastrOnOmic Triumph With "A Ma
tiOnaI Reputation.

tiOnal Reputation.
This celebrated stew originated in
Brunswick county, Va, from which it
takes its name-a county most famous
in antebellum days for it's perfect
cuisine and gastronomical predilec-
tiOns. The originator was either Mr..
Haskins or Mr.. Stith, each claiming
during a long life the distinction of
having made the first stew and dying
without proper adjustment of the con
troversy. While made everywhere in
the habitable globe, it is seldom made
properly. 1t was introduced in Paris
by Judge John L. Mason of Virginia.
Only in Brunswick county is this stew
so appetizing, so piquant in the season
ing to be found in all its perfection.
To this remark of the writer made to
gentleman in the far south he re-
plies, THE egOtism of a Virglnian
suggests perfection in all things there,
and the slow pace of the state ample
time to arrive at it." The recipe is as
follows: One of three kinds of meat is
used-lamb chicken or squirrel If

If to fry, the outer skin removed, then
put on in hot water-a-plenty to cover
it-a large onion cut fine, large slice
of middling meat cut fine. black and
red pepper in abundance and salt.
After cooking until the bones can be
extracted. and hot water added if not
enough, corn cut off the cob and to-
matoes chopped fine are added, with
half a pound of butter. more pepper
and salt. Before serving add stale
light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish
potatoes or butter beans or any vege-
table save corn and tomatoes. Serve
in a tureen. 1t should be the consist
ency of thick soup and very highly sea
sOned. 1t is considered one of the
finest of stews and has a national
reputation Richmond Times.

Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know how to do cbeap
Job of painting, and have it look good.
Here it is; The cheapest thing there is
IN the way OF good looking iob-say
nothing about its being goods De-
voc; the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is that Devoe goes fur
ther than anything else. Lead -and-oil
is good-looking; don't go so far and
costs more. The other paints are more
or less short in one way or another;
don't go so far and costs more than
Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; YOU don't
mind it lasting longer, do you? We
can't help 1T; paint that goes further
lasts longer; we can't help it.
Yours truly,

A bow legged man usually possesses
more than ordinary strength. Why?
Because his legs in supporting great
weight can bend in one direction only,
whereas the man with straight legs is
inclined to be wabbly. Such being the
case. why should not a knock kneed
man he stronger than a bow legged
one? His knees. being braced against

ECZEMA.
The Way TO Treat This Distressing
AnIictiOn.


A1IlictiOn.
Eczema can, even when inherited, be
controlled by attention to the general
principles of health-cleanlinesS, eXer-
else, proper diet, clothing and ventila-
ton. Eczema patients, old and young,
should never use stimulants in any
form. They should take daily baths
and be most particular as to the regu-
larity of all important bodily functions.
Occasional doses of mild saline aperi-
ents, such as cream tartar, phosphate
of soda or the old fashioned remedy of
lac sulphur and cream tartar, mixed in
equal quantities, with enough mOlasseS
to form Il creamy paste and taken
three times Il day for ten days running,
then omitted until again required, will
be found of wonderful benefit. Let the
patient drink freely of lemonade and
avoid salt meats. pork in any form,
and live upon diet of fruits, red
meats and antiscorbutic vegetables.
Many people are particularly suscep-
tible to shellfsh, and case of eczema
sometimes follows the eating of lobster
repeatedly, Strawberries will also pro-
duce this effect frequently. Vigorous
exercise will often, by inducing excess
i've perspiration, act as a curative for
eczema, particularly when combined
with the use of Il harmless external
application. Sulphur baths are effica-
cious for most skin diseases. If posi-
bic, it is well to take them in an estab-
lished bath house. but they may be pre-
pared at home as follows: To each ten
gallons of water add an ounce of sui
phuret of potassium, or to each fifteen
gallons of water add an ounce of sui
phuret of calcium. Where there is itch
ing and the eruption seems virulent the
sulphur bath is excellent as a preliml-
nary treatment.

GREAT MUSIC.
The Mystical Influence 1t wieIds over
Our SensibiIities


Our SensibiIities.
Great music is a physical storm, agi-
tating to unimaginable depth the mys-
terry of the past within us s-or we
might say it is a prodigious incanta-
ton, every different instrument and
voice making separate appeal to diff
ferent billions of prenatal memories.
There are tones that call up all the
ghosts of youth and joy and tenden-
cieS; there are tones that evoke all
phantom pain of perishel passion;
there are tones that resurrcct all dead
sensations Of majesty and might and
glory. all expired civilizations. all for
gotten maguanimities Well may the
influence of music seem ineXplicable
to the man who idly dreams that his
life began less than a hundred years
ago. But the mystery lightens for
whosOever learns that the substance OF
self is older than the sun. He finds
that music is Il necrOmancy: he feels
that to every ripple of melody, to every
billow of harmony, there answers
within him out of the sea of death and
birth some eddying Unreasonable of
ancient pleasure and pain.
Pleasure and pain! They cOmmingle
always in great music. and therefore it
is that music can move us more pro
foundly than the voice of ocean or
than any other voice can do. But in
music's larger utterance it is ever the
sorrow that makes the undertone, the
surf mutter of the sea of soul. Strange
to think how vast the sum of joy and
woe that must have been experienced
before the sense of music could evolve
in the brain of man,-Lafcadio Hearn.
