Anne Of Russia's Ice Palace.

Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly of ice was the
palace built ON the Neva by the Carl
ma Anne of Russia. Large blocks of
Ice were cut and squared with great
care and laid on one another by skill
full masons, who cemented the joints
with water, which Immediately froze.
The building, when completed, was
fifty-siX feet long, seventeen and one
half feet broad and twenty-one feet
high. 1t was of but one story. The
facade contained door surmounted by
an ornamental pediment and six win
dows, the frames and panes of which
were all of Ice. An elaborate balus-
trade, adorned with statues, ran along
the top Of the facade and another bal
ustrade surrounded the building at the
level of the ground. The grounds were
further adorned with life size figure
of an elephant with his mahout ON
his back. A stream of water was
thrown from the elephants trunk by
day and flame of naphtha by night.
A tent Of ice contained hot bath,
In which persons actually bathed. There
were also several cannons and mortars
Of Ice, which were loaded with bullets
of Ice and iron and discharged.

Bullet stopplna Tricks.

Five feet of clay, three feet of loose
earth, or two and half feet Of sand
will stop modern rifle bullet at the
closest range; but, curiously enough, as
the layman may think, ramming earth
hard reduces its resisting power, and
high velocity bullets have less pene-
tration in sand at short than at me-
dunn range. Eighteen inches of sand
between boards is bullet proof, also
nine inches of well built brick work.
Soft wood. like fir, across the grain Is
bullet proof at point blank range If
forty eight inches thick, or at 500 yards
If half as thick. Similarly, twenty
seven inches Of hard wood, like oak,
is point blank proof, or fifteen inches
at 500 yards. Half an inch of wrought
iron or mild steel, quarter of an inch
of hard steel, or fifth of an inch Of
special steel is bullet proof. So are
six inches Of single, fifteen inches of
coal, or, rs some people may be sur
prised to know, eight feet of snow

History has contributed to sep
arate the two masses Of Slavs. The
Mongol yoke for two centuries intro
duced Asiatlc customs among the Rus
sian Slavs. The Turkish yoke for
many centuries and down to our own
times influenced the character and Gus
toms of the Bulgars and Serbs. On
the other hand, the Latin Slavs fol-
lowed the historical eyoiutions Of the
occldent-they were with Godfrey de

Napkin Rinae.

But for the napkin rings. They are
relics of departed age, reminders Of
the era of the Saturday night bath, the
old folks concerts and the painted pan
Dramas Of the Nile. They abide now in
out of the way corners, furnished and
forgotten, bands of old silver, often af-
fectionately inscribed at the command
Of givers long since turned to dust.
They are the sort of reminders Of a
gentler but less fastidious generation
that we do not like to part with ex-
cept for some good reason and have no
desire to keep. The serial napkin went
long ago. TO the melting pot, by all
means, with the rings, and that they
may melt up into millions of dollars
worth Of silver is our sincere wish.-

The ciaarmakers, LUXURY.

Besides the privilege of having news
papers and novels read to him while he
works, the Cuban clgarmaker demands
another indulgence-that of cheering
his labors with cigars provided by the
firm. Every morning six high grade
wrappers are handed to him for his
own use, and in these he folds as much
as he likes Of the tobacco supplied him
for the days work. The cigars thus
made and consumed are said to cost
the Havana tobacco industry sum of
close on $250,000 year. The head of
one great firm once declared that he
would Willingly make over his factory
and plantations TO his employees II in
