frames IN RI:MIL—A 'strange affair is related
in the Russian journals :—At Moscow, some nights ago,
the occupiers of a vast house at the corner of Great West-
street were awakened by the glare and crackling of a fire, and.
on getting up, found that a large pile of fuel, consisting of
logs of fir trees, which had been collected in the court-
yard, was in flames. The conflagration was extinguished as
quickly us possible. On examining the remains of the fire.
the calcined bones of a female were found, and it turned
out that a widow, named Theleska T—, about fo
years of age, who had lived in the house, had disappeared.
Nothing could be heard of this woman, and as she had re-
putedly. declared that in three times the sacrifice of human
victims IS necessiu7 to appease the wrath of God against
'inners, the conclusion was come to that she bad lighted
up the fire and placed herself in the midst of it to he con-
sumed. In the Russian empire, the Moscow journals
state, self-cremation, from motive, of religious fanaticism,
is not rare. In the province of Olonets, for example, in the
course of last spring, not fewer than fifteen persona, men
and women, burned themselves to death, in the belief that
they were performing an act pleasing to God.

is cured with complete success by boiling a handful of the
leaves of Datum Steimonioni, or thorny apple, in a litre .1
water, until reduced to one-half, and then administering the
potion to the patient all at • time. A violent paroxysm .4
rage ensues, which lasts but a short time, and the patient
is cured in the course of twenty-four hours. Fur the
benefit of our readers we may state that the leaves of Stra•

in asthma under the form of cigars, to be smoked as usual;
but that the same leaves, taken in large quantities, whether
in powder or under the form of a decoction, will produce
temporary idiotcy. As to its efficacy in confirmed hydro-
phobia, it seems to be earnestly recommended by Father
Legrand, who declares that he has trial it several times.
