A TATToED MAN.-Therc is now
exhibiting in medical circles in Vi
emma, remarkable instance Of tat.
tooing of the whole body. Accord
ing to his own account, the man, a
Greek by birth, had been pirate,
and had also carried on brigandage
on the Continent. Seven years ago
he ard five companions were taken
prisoners by one of the wild tribes
Of Asia. Three ofthcm were put TO
death, but this man, with two others,
were preserved alive, and literally
tattooed over the entire body. The
operation lasted two months, and
was performed by six men, who each
day operated on different parts OF
the body. The proceeding caused
horrible pain, and his two compan-
ions died under the treatment. His
body is covered with delineations OF
men, animals and fabulous things,
from head to foot. The coloring
material used for the figures appears
to be indigo, the ground, especially
on the chest aud abdomen, being
vermillion; here and there about a
lines breadth of the normal color OF
the skin can he seen. The hands
and the soles of tho feet are colOred
red, but have no figures. On the
face and neck arc inscriptions and
characters resembling Arabic. The
skin has the general appearance, to
the sight and touch, Of blush gray
velvet. He attends the General
Hospital in Vienna, and Proiessor
Zebra. who showed him to his class
a few days ago, has had him photo
graphed in various attitudes. s'.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN IN RUSSIA.

Russia is making giant strides in
the paths of progress, aud In no field
is this more apparent than in that Of
the education ofwomen. While even
in Germany elementary schools arc
considered sufficien. discharge Of
governmental duty toward the "beau-
tiful scX," aud the rest is left to pri-
vatc instruction, in Russia the Gov
ernmcrt undertakes to give i its
daughters a thorough education.
Not merely in the capitals, but in all
the small towns, courses offrec study
are established, and, with tho cxcep-
tion of the dead languages, the girls
learn everything that is taught the
boys. Mathematics, natural sciences,
physics, history, geography; and the
native tongue, which it takes even a
Russian long time to learn, is made
the object of special attention. AL
though most of the students belong
to the poorer classes, the modern
languages are freely given them,
French, German, and even English
being taught. The pupils who have
follow cd and finished the regular
course ofinstruction receive Il proper
deploma announcing that they are
qualified to teach /; without 1t they
cannot even obtain situations as gov
erness. In the very tarthest and
most remote interior of Russia one
may to-day find the institute, of
which every little village possesses
one, and where, at government cx-
pense, the "young ladies" of the
locality receive very good educa-
ton. All women who desire to
teach in these institutes are COM
PEELED to submit to rigid technical
examination at the university. Not
withstanding all this, the Russian
women are far from satisfied, and
now ask for university of their
own. They were originally admit
ted to the universities the same lis
young men, but in tyoublous polit-
ical times they were apt to take part
in the college demonstrations against
the dynasty, and as Il punishment
they were expelled. But they arc
even now admitted 10 the so-called
public course of lectures, and they
intend to force lcnient opinion to
give them every grade ofstudy which
man has offered lin.

We have read many accounts of the
extraordinary cures by DIR. Walkers
California Vinegar Bitter8, which have
seemed incredible. We are inclined to
believe them, as many of those who
youch for them are persons whose vera"-
ity we can guarantee. The newspapers
tecm with testimonials of this character
and their is an mir of particularly and
OF truth about them which cannot be
resisted. Ono manifest superiority the
Vinegar Bitter5 possesses over other
Alternative and Tonic preparations. II
contains none Of the burning fluids with
which most advertised Bitters arc i'm
prcgnated. 1t cannot create Fever.
Instead of clouding the brain, it clears
it if clouded. 1t is we'll known that al
cohol, even of the purest description,
weakens and untonos the stomach in
stead OF bracing it, and is, therefore,
poison i'll cases Of Indigestion. Fancy,
then, what must be the effect of the
cheap EirG-Watcr employed in making
ordinary Bitters aud Tincture3, on.the
weakened and inilamcd digestive organs.
Vinegar Bitters, ON the other hand,
soothes the stomach, while it increases
the appetite and relaxes the bowels.
DIR. Walker is II regular physician, and
his remedies have Just as much author
ity us any standard remedies of the
faculty. We believe they are destined
to become a household medicine. - Com.

How 10 Catch Rats.

One Of the pests of the farmer is
rats. To keep them within endura-
BILE bounds is somewhat q difficult
mater, for a rat is as cunning rs e
fox and as hard to catch; but there
is such a thing rs working strategy
on it, A rat never digs a hole I'M
lees it has some projection to begin
with, say a stone, . stick of wood, or
anything else hat makes an angle
with the ground; a cellar wall it likes
the best. Il Il rat is chased in a eel
lar or other room, it will run round
by the wall, decidedly avcrse toloay-
ing it. From this habit We have n
hint how to ]outgenoral it, The COM
mon steel trap is the best article for
the purpose. Stand box or barrel,
or other article, thin four inches
Of the wall, and in that open space
set a trap, without anything to hide
it. The rat in following the wall will
go into the trap rather than 60 round
the barrel. Whcnit is caught smoke
the trap with . piece of burning pa
per, shift your barrel to another
place, and set tho trap rs before,
