- 1t appears that the Russians have a
plan for " tending babies" very similar to
that Of our North American Indians A
traveller says that Russian babies look like
90 many idols with their heads carved out,
and the rest OF the body left in the block.
The appearance is caused by their being
rolled up in tight bapdages, leaving only
the head out, that they may be put away
out OF mischief and danger. On going into
a Russian house, you may find one little fel
lew len on shelf. another hung to the wall
on peg, and a third hung over one Of the
maia beams of the roof, and rocked by the
mother, who has the cord looped over her
feet.

to his military experience:

her hand a yellow bowl covered with a
piece of paper. Mr.. Barger soon entered,
and the woman handed him bill, saying
it was counterfeit, and Immediately claim

handed her another bill, she threw the con-
tents of the bowl-vitrol-in his face, ex.
claiming, "Take that!" The liquid struck
his forehead and eyes, and ran down over
his breast and shoulders. The suffering
of Mr.. Barger was terrible, until the acid
