Anoien. Ear. Pierced For E.rr;,o..

A correspondent writes to the Pail

statement that the ears were not
pierced for earrings until the seven
teenth century. The most ancient ear

There is a tradition that when Sarah.
Jealous of Uagar. vowed to DE her
hands In the latter's blood. Abraham
saved the situation by boring Bagar's
ears and letting Sarah insert silver
rings. so that her vow was fulfilled
The rings. however. lent such splendor
to the girls dusky cheeks that Sarah
soon adopted them herself. and this
was the origin Of earrings.

ART IN ICE.
Wonderful Palace That Was Built by
Czarina Anne of Russia.

OLdTin1 ammo OF Russia.
The use of ice for architectural pur-
poses is an art that has been carried
to high state Of perfection in north
ern countries. and some almost incred-
ible feats have been accomplished In
this curious branch Of industry.
Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly OF ice was the
palace built on the Neva by Czarina
Anne Of Russia in 1879. The first at
tempt to construct this building was
unsuccessful. as the slabs Of Ice were
too thin and the building collapsed in
the first thaw. Subsequently large
blocks Of ice were cut and squared
with great care and laid on one an
other by skillful masons. who cement
ed the joints with water. which imme-
diately froZe. The building when COM
pleted was fifty-six feet long. seven
teen and half broad and twenty-one
high. 1t was Of but one story. The
facade contained a door surmOunted
by an ornamental pediment and six
windows the frames and panes OF
which were all OF ice. An elaborate
balustrade. adorned with statues. ran
along the top OF the facade. and an
other baluStrade surrounded the build
ing at the level OF the ground. The side
entrances to the inclosure were finnked
with pillars supporting urns. the lat
ter containing orange trees. whose
branches. leaves and flowers were all
OF ice. Hollow pyramids Of ice on each
side Of the binding contained lights
by night The grounds were further
adorned wish life size figure of an
elephant. with his mahout on his back.
4 stream of water was thrown from
the elephants trunk by day and a
flame OF naDhjAa by night.
A tent of ice contained a hot bath,
in which persons actually bathed.
There were also several cannons and
mOrtars of lie. which were loaded with
bullets OF ice and iron and discharged.
The interior of the building was COM
pletely furnished with tables. chairs.
statues looking glasses. a clock. com
plete tea service. etc. all made OF ice
and painted To initiate the real objects
A bedchamber contained state bed
with curtains. dressing table with a
mirror. pillows. bedciOthes. slippers and
nightcapS. all made OF ice. There
were Ice candles, burning naphtha and
most wonderful Of all, an ice fireplace
containing burning ice logs-i. e.. blocks
