(Continued from llrst pane.) a piece broken from the side of it weighs eighteen tons. Tradition holds that the scaffold 011 which it rested broke. It now stands on a stone platform about four feet high. A clapper lying un derneath it appeared to bo about ten feet long. In the Cathedral at St. Micha el, where rests the remains of Ivan the Terrible, a glass case contained the bones of former saints; and pilgrims wero kissing the glass as they passed by. In another cathedral, we saw a glass case containing a piece of cloth which is said to be a part of the garment of the Virgin Mary; another from the garment of Christ, and a nail from the cross. (At this point the informer re ceives a rouble.) At noon on Thursday we left Moscow and, traveliug almost di rectly south for two and a half days, reached the Caucasus mountains. There our party separated those going to Teheran and Ram adan went by way of Baku and the Caspian Sea. We had been traveling together for almost three weeks, and our parting was rather a solemn one, kuowiug that we were not likely ever to meet again. The remaining eight of us bound for West Persia reached Vladikavkas about eight o'clock in the evening tired, hun gry, and sleepy, and while Dr. V. was trying to tind some one who could speak Turkish, his little daughter Irene sitting on a piece of baggage expressed the senti ments of us all by singing, "I want to be an Angel." That night was spent in a Russian post house, and at seven o'clock the next morning we started for Ti flis in a Russian post carriage. This mode of travel in Russia may be compared to the old fash ioned stage coaches of America, and would be a pleasant oue were it not for the inconveniences of poor food and uncomfortable lodgings of the post houses. These post houses are situated twelve or thirteen miles apart, and we exchanged horses and drivers at each one. We started iu a carriage drawn by four horses with driver on top and our baggage roped to the rear end. After leaving the second post house we began to ascend the Pass and the number of horses was increased to six. All that day we ascended a winding mountain road, the scenery of which was magnificent. At oue time we could see far below us men harvesting grain, while on the steep mountain side opposite us thousands of sheep and cattle were grazing, and far above us were peaks covered with perpet ual snow. The Pass which we crossed about seven o'clock that evening was over 8,000 feet high, and the highest peak we could see was Kazbek which was 111,-5-10 feet. As we drew near to the top, we thought we saw a cloud caught fast on the mountain; but, upon closer observation, we decided that it was a snow bank. This was the 14th of September. We traveled until nine o'clock that aiglit before stopping at a post house. We arose at five o'clock the uext morning and after a breakfast of bread, meat and tea, we were on the road again by six o'clock. This day's journey was a gradual descent from the mountain top we had crossed the previous day. The road was good and so were the horses which would gallop almost continuously from one post house to another. The Turnpike Company had not provided '"breakers" for the com fort of travelers so our old "Cove mountain road" forms uo J comparison. Tito only obstacles lo our progress were lenin of oxen and buffaloes carting 1 11 11 1 -I bor; but, iu tin afternoon, rain i bo''!!!! to descend and wo wore ' compelled to draw thoeurtainsof our carriage, shutting out the scenery we had been enjoying. We arrived at Till is at half past six o'clock Saturday evening, hav ing traveled by post carriage dur ing the two days oue hundred and thirty-four miles. We re maiued in Tillis two days. The Russians a re great lovers of bells and the chimes we heard on Sun day morning as well as the pre vious Sunday iu Moscow were certainly delightful. On Monday, we visited pari of this ancient capital of (ieorgia and took dinner with a Swedish Missionary who is located there. It is unlawful to proselyte among the Russians, but this man keeps a seed store, iu order that he may have the opportunity to sow the Seed of the Word. We left Tillis Monday evening aud traveled about two hours to the terminus of the railroad at Akstafo aud there spent the night preparatory to the post road journey the next day, we all occupied one room iu the post house. This room contained four couches (so called) which were not at all inviting notwithstanding our weariness, a rickety stand, and an ancient mirror which serv ed as a play ground for t he insects of various species that could tind uo room on the couches. Some of our party spread steamer rugs on the trunk's and pretended to sleeep 011 them. 1 j was not prepared to dispute the j right of possession of the couches I which the aforesaid insects claim ed, so I sat iu a chair ;,ll night and had ample time to meditate upon the iinprovementinti aveling facilities since the time that Washington took a "hack" at the cherry tree. It was nine o'clock before we could get started the next morn ing. A troiki or spriugless wag on, carried our trunk's, and we rode in a closed carriage, not built for eight. So we men took turns riding in a little box iu the rear of the carriage along wilh our small baggage. The country through which we were passing was interesting but I would have enjoyed it more had I not been so sleepy. I would snatch a few moments of sleep while we were receiving a new relay of horses at the post houses. W e pa s s e d v i n ey a r d s a n d I i el d so f melons each haviuig a tower with a watchman on it remaining there day and night with a gun at his side just as in Bible times. It was in grain threshing time, but the whistle of the engine was not heard iu the laud. The houses of mud cement were built in the side of a hill aud the Hat roof of the same material constituted the threshing lloor. The wheat was spread over the roof, and horses or oxen dragging a primitive instrument made of boards with spikes driven around in a circle, generally by a woman I who stood of sat, c ill the "thresh- I or" ami sometimes with a baby iu her arms while a man kept turning the straw with a fork. At noon, while eating ancient eggs seasoned with earthy salt, we were entertained by watching oue man beating another over the head with his list for stealing a turkey. We reached the foot of the l)i lijon Pass that evening aud stop ped for the night. We were able to secure two private rooms in stead of repeating another, post house experience, and, also, a good supper of fresh .salmon from a lake near by with bread aud tea. We had a good night's rest, but wero unable to get away the next morning until nine o'clock-. We immediately began the ascent of the lidijou Pass, and i cached the top about noon. The scenery of this Pass is famous but a heavy fog concealed it from our view. The remainder of the post road was under another management, I so we had to exchange vehicles as well as horses. There was no carriage obtainable at that lime so wo were detained there all afternoon, We found that we could not get away that day, so prepared to spend the night there. The largo public room of the itost house contained four couches with mattresses of hard boards aud these we proceeded to occupy. About one o'clock in the morn ing we heard a jtounding at the dixtf it ml opened it. Some new quests bad arrived wlto wished b share our room, but after gaz ing about and finding the conches all tilled, they lied in despair. That was sulaViont post h itise ; experience lor us. i'liitiing 11m we could get a carriage we all 1 arose with one accord, find by three o'clock wore ou the mad again (having warmed ourselves i with some tea) and never stopped except to exchange horses, until we reached Mak'ejeoau near the ; Persian border, having traveled ! continuously for thirty-eight 1 hours. ! We spent that night in Nakhe- jevan, which claims to have been ; the residence, and to contain the grave, of Noah. We thought that ; the human race ought to get its j common ancestor a more con ', spicuous monument. All day we j were within sight of Mt. Ararat, ; whose hoary head pierced the j cloud surrounding it. Noah could j not have found a more suitable 1 lauding place. At three o'clock j 1 lit? next afternoon we reached ; the Aras river which separates ; Persia from Russia. We thought j we had been traveliug by every j imaginable mode, but a new ex perience awaited us. A ferry boat took- us to an island in the middle of the river. Then we were given the alternative of re- I maining there, or crossing the ! remainder of the stream on the ! backs of Persians at their own j price. We chose the latter. A I ,io- Persian knelt down invitingly before me aud I jumped on i his hack and rode over, aud the 1 others followed. How I wished j I had not used all the plates in I my camera when I saw the others ! coming. But another one of our party reached the shore, raised his camera aud recorded the event. This being Saturday, we spent Sunday iu a place that was a cross between a hotel aud a jxist house --the odds being iu favor of the post house. A carriage had been scut lor us from Tabriz but an accident occurring, it did not arrive until Monday afternoon. The Mission aries at Tabriz had also sent us our mail and some food and we devoured both with equal relish. Tuesday morning, we started on our last journey of two aud a half days for Tabriz. The close of the first day found us at Chercher a mud house and a gardou with a mud wall around it. We looked tirst at the mud hut, then at the garden, aud final ly chose a mud platform outside. the wall as our restiug place, while the ladies preferred tosleep in the carriage. The mud plat form was not any more comfort able than the ground but had the advantage of being dryer. With my shoes for a pillow I slept tol erably well. Once during the uiuht, I was awakened by the tinkling of bells and opened my eyes to behold a caravan of cam els passing. There was a long string of them fastened to one another by a rope and their steady, solemn tread in the dim light seemed like a spectre of by gone ages. The next night we fared better, having a whole room to ourselves, Thursday noon found us just outside the city of Tabriz. The missionaries came outto meet us, looked me over and decided to let j me enter the city and one of their homes; and thus I became a mis sionary. ! I was just as glad to reach the i end of my journey as I am sure ! you will be to conclude this uu- ! interesting letter. i C'has. R. Pitt man.

''It is, in ! deed, a grave question whether ! she does not debase herself. Nor I will she be 'well dressed;' the , chances aro far greater that she ! will be 'over-dressed.' No woman j who has any regird for what is : worth while in this world, and ' for what will bring her the surest and fullest happiness in the long run, will so dissipate her ener gies and vitality. The right to ! dress prettily aud becomingly belong.-, to every woman. It is ; her birthright and her duty.

JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energlzer, Is the greatest SPRINQ MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven lo the " worn out," the run down, the overworked end debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic pell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria an3 nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method In the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from ULOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed whl'e the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the disease. But In this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. . Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are kouey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only One scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitallzer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calgmel and other minerals, and fills the veins and artorles with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood Is the life." Good health mean pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, ia universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov ered. This fact Is now established beyond question or eavil. BLOOD roISOH OVKBO UT JOIXMSTOll'a Atte.LPAHII.LA. , " Byron, Mich., October 31, 1894.
