THE RUSSIAN CHURCH. Ih PrevalllnT Religion of Rnssla Sine the Time of Peter the Great. The great majority of the inhabitant nf Russia belong to the Russian llum-h. which is a branch of anil is identical with the Greek Church. Christian ity was introduceil into Rusft in the ninth century. . In ihe jreat schism between thn Eastern and West ern churches the Christians of Russia were divided in sentiment, but later they o-enerally gave in their adherence to the Greek party. In l."89 the Rs sian Church was made a patriarchate, subordinate, however, to the patriarch nf Constantinople. This subordination was acquiesced in for about a century, and was then repudiated by the Patriarch Nikon, who claimed autiiority to alter the ritual of the church, and even to dis regard civil power. One of the first reforms therefore, of Peter the Great, was th. suppression of the patriachate and the direct subordination of the Church to the civil authority. He acted ver- cautiously in the matter, appoint ing, on the -death' of the patriarch Adrian in 1700. an acting director of ecclesiastical affairs with the title of K.tsuvh, to" set until a new patriarch could be. chosen, and when, after an interval of twenty years, the public mind had partially forgotten the patri archate, lh ortice was formally abol ished, and the administration cf church affairs placed under thsj direction of a council of Bishops and Archbishops appointed bv the Emperor. Un der the direction of this council a com plete revision of the doctrine, disci pline and government of the church took place, and the chauges being ap proved by the Czar, the new code was adopted by the Russian Church. In doctrine the church does not differ ma terially from the main IkkIv of the Greek. The liturgy used is the same as that of the chsreb at Constantino ple, but it Is not read jti Greek, but in the Slavonic tong-ie. One of the prin cipal objects of t hit iirperial policy to ward the church, inaugurated by Peter tbe Great, has been a general uniform ity of religious opinion throughout the empire. Dissent, in all its forms has not, only been discouraged, but in many cases rigorously repressed, and ii ha onlv been durin late vears that general toleration na- uwu peiunutm. The Roman Catholic Church, forming the largest body of dissentients ha been the object of especial severity, particularly under tiie Czar Nicholas. The next largest body of dissenters is generally called the Raskolniks, but they style themselves OKI Believ ers. They withdrew from the church at the time that changes were intro duced into its ritual by the Patriach Nikon, and they have never Agreed to acknowledge the Czar as head of the church. They have often been severe ly persecuted by the government. The established church is still granted some especial privileges. None of its mem bers are allowed to secede to another denomination, and all children of mixed marriages are declared to be under its control. In other respects, under the laws of Alexander II., all Catholics and Pi-otestants enjoy equal civil rights with members of the estab lished church, and ara equally admis sible to the. highest offices of the em pire, while even unconverted Tartars are allowed to hold military offices. Cliicttqo Inter-Olefin. REALISM IN FICTiON. The Art of Interesting I'eople in the Com mon Things of Kvery-Day l.ir-. it requires a great deal more imagi nation to write a realistic novel than Ui write a fairy-tale: because the ob ject of a realistic story is not to repeat common things, but to interest people iu, common things; not to create un common things, but to show people that common things are not by any means so uninteresting as they seem at first sight. The realistic writer must see, not new things, but r.ew qualities iii things; and to do that, he must have plenty of imagination. Those whom you call "old-fashioned writers" imagined that they must describe the thoughts and looks and clothes and ac tions of a Princess, or some creature out of the range of Very-day life: but the realistic writers have discovered that the thoughts and clothes and looks and actions of a little beggar-girl can lie made just as interesting to people, if only you can see what is unseen alxiiit them with your mind's eye. Now, which would you say had really the nobler imagination a man who went into his library and wrote a re markable poem alxmt the golden ap ples of the Ilesjiftrides, that were pure creations of his fancy, or Sir Isaac Newton when he went and sat down under a common appletree, and set his imagination to work to find out what made the apple fall to the ground? The realistic writer is satisfied with the very-day apple tree that is quite cer tain; but' here is your mistake about him, he isn't satisfied with telling you that the apples fell; he shows yon how they fell, and what a great, beautiful, wonderful law of the universe caused them to fall ; and he makes you feel that the law was all the more lieautiful and wonderful for not applying merely to one particular apple, or even to the whole class of apple trees, but to every thing. A little while ago you spoke of one of Mr. Howells heroines who tried to do something and couldn't. I suppose yon mean the poor rich girl who lrt all her money, and found that all her tine edu cation did not help her a bit when it came to earning her living. Now if Mr. Howells had merely meant by that to show girls how absurd it was for them lo try to do any thing, it would have leen a very cruel story; but I think he merely meant to show the parents what scrappy sort of education they were giv ing t heir daughters, with all the money they were spending for it- " The red color of bricks is due to the iron contained in the clay.

Loops of ribbon are em ployed . to edge the new Hungarian bodices of plain velvet, and row upon row of narrow loops aro frequently laid across the edge of satin kiltings as a finish. Similar loops are then set d'vn the front of the corsage, mingling with the lace garniture, the cascades of ribbon and lace decreasing in width as they reach the belt. This gives an effective finish to a gown, however simple its character, and is generally becoming. Velvet, satin or moire ribbon, with picot edges, aro also laid in flat rows over the plain outlines and border! ngs of gowns made of light-weight summer wools in alba tross vailing, camel's hair and the like. Although the price of a genuine Irish poplin may seem very high at the time of its purclrase, it - must be remembered that in point of wear, it outlasts two silk gowns, and as this material, when made up. requires lit tle if any trimming, it is on that ac count undoubtedly economical. The garnitures requireJl for many fabrics are often more expensive than the ma terials itself. Poplin of 4he modern weave is so soft, flexible, and rich look ing, falling in such grateful folds in its drawing, that it needs no extraneous additions. Its charm lies in itself, and when unadorned it is adorned the most. Many women prefer the very finely-ribled qualities, thinking that they wear bctler lhan th heavier cords.
