“ The City o f Golden Domes” —
such is the name so often applied
to the metropolis of Russia, St.
Petersburg. It was Peter the Great
who founded the city and built }t
on a veritable swamp. The waters
of the Neva river overflowed Hie
lowlands all about where the beau
tiful city of the czar now flourishes,
but it was at the expense of many
thousands of lives that the founda
tion of the present metropolis was
Built. It is said that even now one
may see the moisture underlying
the city oosing up between the pav
ing blocks on the Nevsky prospect,
a busy thoroughfare. The city is
not only built over water, but the
heavens seem to frown upon human
beings having intruded there, for
it rains or snows at least 200 days
of the year and sometimes
more. The city is practically sur
rounded by water, for swamps
abound og tw? gides^ the sea and
.e river on ¿bother.
At the very beginning of the
building of St. Petersburg every
5fie MAmea to haie the place, ail
save Peter the Great. Ana, in view
of the dislike expressed by nobles
and peasants alike, the ruler set
thousands at work, “ under compul
sion o f the knout,” to build dikes
and reclaim the land for the city.
He called the city his “ paradise*
and forbade the use of stone in
building elsewhere, ordering all the
stone accessible to be brought to
St. Petersburg. Any peasant who
wished to enter the city could do so
by fetching a cartload of stone.
rhia was his passport. Indeed, peo-
ile did not have to beg to enter St.
'etersburg. They were forced by
the czar’s command to abandon otbr
er places and come to dwell in bis
’’pet" city. The consequence was a
crowded quarter, where the poor
herded together like so many rati,
living in squalor and misery. Even
to this day the Russian metropolis
is the most unhealthy capital of
Europe.
But St. Petersburg has become a
beautiful and a majestic city nev
ertheless. There is something im
posing about her streets. The Win
ter palace is splendid, as are also
entire streets of beautiful build
ings. It might be called a city of
space, for the streets are so wide,
and nowhere, save in the slums,
does one find crowding.
Nevsky prospect is the fashion
able street of S t Petersburg. It is
only three miles in length, but it is
as celebrated a highway as Regent
street, London, or Fifth avenue,
New York.
During the winter months the
days are very short, artificial light
being turned on at 3 :30 in the aft
ernoon and daylight not coming in
full till about 10 in the morning.
But during the summer months—
June and July—one will see the sun
at 2 o'clock in the morning and
easily reaff a book at 10 o’clock at
night by nature’s own light. Thus
the summer recompenses one for
the dreariness of winter.— Boston

T^a Happy Man.
An oriental monarch was anxious
to find out the secret of happiness.
He called to him all his wise men
and sages and debated with them
for many a day. Finally an old
man, who had hitherto remained
silent, arose and said: “ Oh, king,
the secret of happiness ir easily
mastered. All you h ^ e to do is to
secure the shirt of a happy man.”
This advice seemed sensible to the
king, who immediately started forth
on a journey. He met thousands
and ■ thousands of his subjects, but
none of them was happy. At last,
in the remotest part of his king
dom, he came across a man who ad
mitted that he was happy.
“ Then give me your shirt,” said
the king.
“ I never had one,” said the happy

when he was surprised to find a man
perched on the top of a signpost
which bore this inscription, “ This

Jones was quite unable to make

called out, “ What are you up there

“ Begorra,” the man replied, “ I ’ve

A Royal Compliment.
Mgr. de Nosmund, archbishop of
Toulouse, when preaching one day
in the private chapel of Louis X I v.
lost the thread of his discourse, so
that he had to remain silent for
some time. The king came to his
lordship’s relief with this graceful
remark: “ I am very glad, my lord,
that yon are giving me a little time
to digest all the good things con
tained in the former part of your

An old volume, the “ Noble Boke
of Cookry, ffor a Prynce Houssolde
or eny other Estately Houssolde,*
written about the year 1467, con
tains many rare and curious recipes
in use in those days not only for
ordinary dishes, hut those to be
eaten on fast and fish days. It is
curious in reading this cookery book
to find that there are the same
birds, beasts and fishes, the same
courses and sometimes the same
names to dishes as in a modern one;
but, although the names are often
the same, the ingredients and the
preparation are very different For
instance, their “ blanche
was composed of lamprey or other
fish, and their costards contained
fresh pork minced small.
Here is one recipe from the book:
“ To make mon amy take and boil
cows’ cream and when it ia boiled
it aside agd let it cool. Then
take cow curds ana press out the
whey; then bruise them in a mortar
and cast them in the pot to the
cream and t o fi together. Put there
to sligarfnoney and may butter,
color it up with saffron jmd in the
setting down put in yolks of eggs
well beaten and do away the strain
and let the potage be standing;
then arrange it in dishes and plant
therein flowers o f violets and serve
it.” -
Some of the recipes in this quaint
old book were intended specially for
a Torde's” table. For instance, a
i »ike was to be served whole to “ a
orde,” but cut in pieces -for . the
“commonalte.” Cabbages were to
be thickened with grated bread for
ordinary people, but served with
volks of eggB for a “ lorde.” The
dishes at this time used at table
were either gold or silver for great
occasions ana wooden trenchers and
platters for ordinary nse. It was
not ontil the time of. Queen Eliza
beth that plates of metal and
earthenware began to be generally
used instead of wood.
An Anacdota of Duma«.
Speaking of Alexandre Dumas, a
writer says that his chief character
istic was his utter disregard of
money. He made millions, but nev
er had a franc at. his command.
“ For example,” said he, “ upon one
occasion Dumas had invited com-
any to dinner and, finding that be
an
id not stand possessed of a single
cent, drove to a friend’s and asked
him to lend him 2 louis. This his
friend readily did and as Dumas
was taking his leave suggested, as
he had just been getting some very
fine pickles, he would he glad to
give him a jar to add to his dinner.
The servant was sent for the
pickles, and when he put the jar in
the carriage Dumas, having no oth
er change about him, dropped the
2 Ibuis n the man’s hand.”

There was a certain old New Eng
land minister who had a blunt way
of getting right at the bottom of
things. With a solemn air he an
nounced from the pulpit one day
that a button had been found in the
collection. “ Only one individual in
the church could have been guilty
of this trick,” he said, “ and I shall
expect this person to replace the
button with a coin.” After service
a member o f the church owned a
to being the culprit and ask
“ How aid you know I was the
man?” “ I did not know,” said the
clergyman. “ But you said only one
person could have done it.” “ Jnst
so,” was the reply. “ Two persons
could not have put the same button
on the plate.”
