Sir William Harcourt, speaking nt

when such agitation avowed Illegal views, no
government would fall to bo supported In ahy

THE CITY OF PALACES.
.Congressman Cox SlRht-fteclna; In the His
toric City of St. Petersburg
B. Cox, In N. Y. Express.
It Is Imposslblo to doscribo oven a fow
of the phases of this Russian lifo in a
fow hurried letters, or to mako a proper
roviow of tho scenes and places which
we havo had time to observe I might
havo mado a moro picturcsquo sketch of
tho military or dynastlo church, where
in lios buried Russia, or hor Czats. It
would bo a pleasure to recount moro In
dotall tho visit to tho hut of Fotor tho
Groat, who-e ho lived while planning
this city. Tho boat and chair, which
ho mado himself, attract our oyo, whilo
tho sacred picture under glass in tho cor
ner, set In precious stones nnd illumi
nated with candlos is considered so raro
nnd talismanio that It attracts crowds,
who kiss tho glass covering. It is a fa
mous picture of tho Saviour, nnd lovoly
in ita touching sadness. It has a witch
cry, for, bolng borne in front of tho ar
my, it incites to 'victory.
Our noxt drivo was to tho placo whoro
tho Into Emperor was killed. Thero is
beautiful shrino under an Oriontal
kiosk'liko tomplo over tho exact spot,
in front of which nre candlos burning
and devotcos bowing and crossing.
Thoro seemed to bo an unusually doop
solemnity horo; and oven tho guards
nnd mlnlstrants had n moro serious and
anxious expression. Wo wont to vari
ous other churches, all called "parish
churches," but splendid in domo of
groon or bluo, nnd rich in decorations,
golden docoratlons predominating, for
oven silver is gildod ovor. No images
aro allowod In tho Greek churohos, only
pictures. So it is said, but it is hard for
us to distinguish betweon them. Faces
of tho Saviour and Virgin appear iu
beautiful outllna and color, surroundod
by golden aureoles and by enamolod
and gemmed frames of raro handiwork.
Our last visit on Sunday to church was
that of "Our Lady, of Kazan."
Knzan is n town on tho Volga, and tho
oputation of its saint is such as to en
rich hor shrino abovo all others. The
building liko mostofthoother church cs
has pondont from ita sldos nnd in Its
chnpols flags of all nations, taken by
Russia in battlo. Considering what
wars sho had, at homo and abroad, you
can well imagino what an immenso
multitudo of old, torn, moth eaten, yet
over-glorious ensigns, from Central
Asia to Poland are bung upon her sa
cred walls. Tho gates, balustrado, and
altar of Kazan Church aro of solid sil
ver. Four fluted jaspor columns adorn
tho altar. At iU doors as at all tho
churches aro poor peoplo, very raggod,
and worn with pilgrimages from afar,
who bow to you obsequiously, nnd pre
sent their black portfolios, with a Greok
cross upon thorn, as credentials for their
mission to bog for tho distant parts of
tho ompiro, and their spiritual noods and
monasteries.

Table Manners.
Mrs. O. II. Ward, In Youth's Companion.
Tho first essential of refinement in
life nnd mannor is a total absonco of
pretension; nnd tho first point necessary
to be consldorod in tho arrangement
and ordering of a homo is that ovdry
thing should bo on a scalo exactly pro
portionate to tho husband's income.
Let all young housekeepers begin lifo
by a resoluto abnegation of shams. As
weath increases, expenditures may in
croaso; but never forget that misery is
tho result of living boyond ono's means.
To embollsh homo, to mako happy tho
lives of thoso near and dear ones who
dwell within it, is a task of no littlo hon
or, rewarded by no scant meed of grat
ltudo and praiso.
Tho ideal wifo and mother "openoth
her mouth with wisdom; and hor tonguo
Is tho law of kindness. Sho lookoth
woll to tho ways of her household, and
catcth not tho bread of idleness. Her
children rise up and call hor blessed;
her husband, also, and ho praiseth
her."
Nothing rollecls moro upon homo
training than bad maimers nt table.
Restlessness, shown by fidgeting in
your scat, moving tho feet unnecessa
rily, playing with tho tablo utensils, or
crumbling tho broad, is very annoying
to thoso who havo beon trained correct
ly in youth.
To opon tho mouth wnilo chowlng tho
food, instead cf kooping tho lips oloscd;
to talk when tho mouth is full; to suck
up soup from tho spoon; to put a knlfo
in tho mouth; to bond tho head low down
ovor the plato; eating rapidly, or to
mako any noiso in eating, aro breaches
of good manners.
Chow tho food woll, but quietly, and
oat slowly. Nover uso a spoon for any
thing but liquids, ico crenm, cheoje,
fish (where silver fish knives aro not
used).
Everything that can bo eaten without
a knlfo or spoon, should bo oaten with a
fork; such as sweet bread, rissoles. pies,
etc. Bread is alwavs broken when not
butterod; not bitten nor cut with a
knifo.
Easo and good breeding aro nowhere
moro indisponsablo than at tho dinner
tablo, and tho absonco of thorn is no
whero moro apparent. As soon as you
aro sealed nt a dinner party, romovo
your gloves; half-unfold you tablo nap
kin, and piaco it across your lap, put
ing your roll on tho left of your plato.
As soon as you aro holpetl, begin to
eat. Tho custom of waiting i obsolete.
Take soup from tho sido of tho spoon,
and bo careful not to mako n nolso In
doing so. By tilting tho spoon you enn
avoid sucking it up. Nover tilt tho
plato however.
Soup and fish aro not taken a second
timo. You can refuso any dish that is
passed. After eating tho mouth should
bo wiped with tho napkin, beforo drink
ing.
Fruit is eaten with a silver knifo and
forK, after whiih you dip your fingers
In tlio iingor glass, wiping them on tho
table-napkin, not on tho d'oyloy. If a
linger glass and d'oyloy aro placed on
your dessert plato, you should nt onco
remove tho glass and d'oyloy, placing
thorn on your loft hand; tho glass on
tho d'oyley.
Also, when a plate is placed before
you, with a fork nnd knlfo on it, imme
diately removejfork and knifo, or spoon
to your right hand. It is a mistake to
keop guests ovor two hours at tablo,
oven at grand dinnors. Ono hour is
tho limit of an unocromonlous dinner,
whoro host, hostoss nnd servants under
stand their duties.
