Indeed, it seemed somewhat doubtful whether Russia could even maintain her Independence. Tho story of how a lino of men, resolute to shrink from no means, even the most shame ful, In tho pursuit of their end, built up after tho havoc of tho Mongol fury n new state around tho obscure city of Moscow, is one of tho most remarkablo In history. Yet in 1G11 all their work seemed undone. Ivan IV., prematurely aged, worn out, broken-hearted, hav ing murdered his eldest sou In a fit of maniacal fury, passed away In circumstances of tho utmost horror In 15S4. For the next twenty years tho real ruler of Muscovy was Ivan's great minister, Boris Godunov, ono of the "now men" whom his reforming zeal had called to tho front. Godunov was In many ways an excellent ruler ho was perhaps tho most enlightened of tho pre-Petrino monarohs of Russia. But the great nobles dis liked him, and there is little doubt that he cleared his path to tho throne by making away with Dmitri, tho half-brother of tho nominal Czar, Fep'dor I., and his natural heir. The great family" of the Romanoffs stood near tho throne, for Feo dor's mothor had been a Romanoff. While Feo dor lived Godunov dared not attack them, but when the weak monarch died in 1598 and tho minister, despite his more or less feigned reluc tance, was elected his successor, tho wholo fam ily was banished. Suspicion was the bane of tho otherwise bene ficial rule of "Boris. Finally, an adventurer named Gregory Otrepev gave" out that ho was Prlnco Dmitri, who had escaped from tho assassins of Boris, and raised a formidable insurrection, aided by Slglsmund III., king of Poland. In tho midst of tho war Boris died, and tho fatal "period of troubles" of Russia began. Tho supposed Dmitri soon overthrow tho youthful Feodor II., son of Boris. Ho proved an admirable ruler, but he was a Roman Catholic and wns murdered by tho nobles Shulski, ono of tho conspirators, was elected Czar under tho title of VasllI V., but obtained no firm footing. Revolt everywhere broko out, sprang up In every direction, raised armies of miscellaneous ruffians nnd Polish adventurers, and spread terror and devastation to tho gates of Moscow For years this anarchy lasted. Tho worst of tho pretenders was "tho Thief," whoso lair was at Tushino, near Moscow, but everywhere tho wretched country was overrun and wasted by gangs of Cossacks, 1. e., robbers. Tho desolation was foarful; In five yeais tho fruits of a century of effort ap peared to hav been hopelessly lost. Tho wretch ed Shuiskl purchased, by tho mirrondrr of terri tory in tho Boitic provinces, tho aid of Sweden; but tho result was to bring about a Polish inva sion In 1609 "Smolensk was hrslrgod; nrsxt yoar the great Polish gonoral, Zolklew&kl, defeated and captured Hhuiski, entered Moscow, and pro claimed Wladljslaw, son of Slglsmund III., czar. By skillful diplomacy ho occupied tho Kremlin, nnd galnpd Rome mpnaure of support for Wladlr. law Russia Boomed lost. Smolensk held out with bitter desperation for two years, but was at last taken. "Tho Thief" was murdered but his fol lowers held U-gether and contested tho posses sion of Mohco? desperately with tho Poles.

Minin was appointed treas urer. They issued an appeal to tho peoplo at largo refusing to recognize either tho Polish Czar or the Dometrlan protondorn. Early in 1612 tho patriot army took Kostroma and advancod to Yavoslari, where by means of skillful negotia tions Pozharski withhold the Swodos, who wore overrunning tho northwest, from occupying more, territory. Meanwhile tho Cossack hordes wero wasting to tho southward, and tho small Polish army at Moscow was practically besieged In tho Kremlin. TIicbo brigands ulmply fought for plunder; they hated tho patriots more than tho Poles and actually tried to murder Pozharski In July. On August IS Pozharski, Intending to coerco tho Cossacks, arrived outsido Moscow, and thrco days later Chodkiowlcz, tho Polish gonoral, camo up from tho west. Fighting went on intermit tently until tho middle of October. Tho Cosnnek host simply looked on, but Chodwiowicz could not break through Pozharskl'o blockade of tho Kremlin, nelthor could Pozharski drivo away Chodkiowicz. At last, on October 15, tho Rus sians mado a night attack on tho Polish en trenched position. They wero repulsed, but Chod klewicz had lost nearly half his small Polish corps, and next morning ho retreated. On Octo ber 22 tho Polish In tho Kremlin, who wero ex isting on human flesh, capitulated Tho Russian patriots in tho ruin3 of Moscow then called a national assembly for tho purposo of electing a natlvo sovereign There wan great confusion and much fruitless discussion Princes Pohnrskl and Mstlslavskl declined tho ciown, mid it appeared that nothing would bo decided upon, when two delegates ono Russian, ono Cos sack independently suggested a Romanoff, that family being nearest of kin to tho old Rurlkovlch hoiiso Tho head of tho family had henn ton sured by BoriB and was a prisoner In Poland. Ho was a man of great ability and vigor, and perhaps tho assembly thought that by choosing his son strong government would bo insured once they rould releaso tho father. On February 21, icai, Michael Feodorovich was olectod by tho notables, and on his namo being propoped to the army and burgesses of Moscow ho was chosen with enthusiasm Michael ho was only slxtcon years of ago was bheltering with his mother In tho Spasovskl monastery near Kostroma. Ho was not discov ered until March 21, and then shrank from as suming tho crown.

On his way to Moscow tho youthful Czar encoun tered nothing but misory and horror, and at last stopped at JTroltsa. unablo to faco tho wrotchod ness of Moscow, whore ovon in tho Kremlin tho palaces wore roofless. Ills own gunrds were starving nnd in rags, and their noods wore sup plied by gifts from tho great merchant house of tho Strogonovs. Something was dono to alio viato tho distress, nnd on May 13 Michael was escorted into Moscow by tho entire malo popu lation. On July 13 ho was solemnly crowned. Tho troubles of Muscovy wore not yot over. Years of effort wero needed boforo tho bandit hordes wero finally put down. Sweden had to be bought off with cessions of territory. In 1017 a great Polish army under tho titular Czar Wladls law invaded Russln, captured town after town, nnd inarched ngnliiBt Moscow In 1G1S.

Maybe You're a Genius. "Men of genius are almost uniform ly largo eaters," says Dr. Hanover. Thoy require a tremendous amount of good, wholesomo food, for long con tinued and exhaustive intellectual work demands full nutrition to repair tho waste brain tissue. Scott is said to havo attributed his tremendous capacity to his power of digestion nnd tho good wholesome restraints of appetito in his youth Most of the French leaders, In war, oolltics, and literature, wero men whoso digestions wero powerful and nppotites unfailing. Napoleon's ca pacity to eat was enormous, bh was Talloyrand's and Mlraboau's. German statesmen and poets scorn to havo had tho samo reputation, for Bis marck and Goetho were both of thom noted for their Insatiable desires for food.

"Bo It over so Jiumble, thoro's no placo llko home" applies with especial forco to a neat Httlo cottage that la built for comfort nnd surrounded by well-kept grounds. A cottngo houso well kopt looks n great deal' better, and It gen erally contains a great deal more com fort than n larger houso that is in a measure neglected. In building a small houso, It is cus tomary with 8omo builders to slight tho work In certain directions, bo causo it Is only a ohenp affair nny how; but tills is a nilstako. It docs not pay, for Instnnce, to uso outsido doors that are less than ono and three qunrter Incites lti thickness You can put on cheaper ones, nnd dioss them up so that they look nil right for a while; but after a tlmo tho panels spilt nnd the doors warp until It Ib nn nggravallon' to open or sliut on Tleni repairs are necessary, and you put more expense on tho job than would bo necessary to do It right In tho first phico. If ou nro building a houso to sell, somotlmus you can skimp it In places and get out from under; but it is a. poor way to do business. If you want to drlnlt from a bIovo, you must drink way In making a start for a home. Of courpo a llttlo money Is necessary; but the amount paid out for rent each month would soon pay for a $1,200 cottago, and leave tho ownor In posi tion to go nhead on something larger If ho noeds It. Sometimes people get so nttachod to a llttlo homo wbtoh la comfortable nnd convenient, thnt they nro In no hurry to Icnvo it. My ad vice has always been to make ft start, and mnko it modest enough so that you are not embarrassed In making your pnyments; and I believe It la a groat donl bottor to bo a good deal too slow than to ;o a llttlo bit too fast I llko to soo good houses; and whoa n porson can afford It, I llko to see them living fn an expensive houso; but I do not llko to scg young fellows Btnrt In with n proporty a good deal lnrgor and more oxponslvo than thoy need, when thoy havo not tho moans to pay for It, becnuso I know It means many months and years of hard work and a good mnny nights of worry alt of which may bo avoided by making tho proper Btnrt.

Sometimes a houso built fur salo does not sell right away If It Is well built, It may bo rented to ail vantage until a purchaser comcB along; but you must not rent a poorly built hoitBo unless you uro looking for troublo. Tho cheapest way to build a house is to put up u box llko this, and put it straight roof over it It mnkes all straight work.

Thoy nppnnred like dis tant shrieks and bowlings, mingled with tho indlstinqulshablo raglngs of a furious tumult, and with groans and curses, a3 on tho day of tho massa cre.

No mat ter how cheap tho houso, you do not want the front door to look bare nnd unprotected; and you cannot protect It In nny other way qulto so well aB by building a solid-looking, comfortable vornnda.
