CoUNTERFEIuNe TO THE DEATH-The
" etfete monarches of the Old World
are now busy with the " autumn mannu-
vres " of their armies Theie manouvres
resemble in many of their features the
famous general training day of our
torefathers. At the Russian camp, how
ever, some additions have been made
which undoubtedly would have astonished
even the traditional militia officer.
At this camp one day a sham fight was
arranged, and preparations were made by
the ambulance corps to take care of the
wounded As the battle was only to be
teigned, it was necessary in the first place
to select a number of men to play the parts
Of the killed and the dying, and to prevent
mistakes and confusion each one was fur
nished with a ticket, setting forth the ma
ture and the severity Of his injuries
The troops then marched out, the mimic
combat began, and soon the ground was
thickly covered with the victims of wars
fell rage. The ambulance men advanced
and began to pick up the sufferers. The
wounds Of each one, as indicated by the
ticket attached to the body, were care
fully examined, and the proper remedies
were promptly administered One of the
soldiers, however, received Instructions
which justified him, as he thought, in Civ
ing u the ghost. Those who were taking
care of the wounded were surprised at
finding that he gave no sign of life and
Immediately called an officer for consul
tation. The officer asked the man what
allied him, but received no reply, a ply
sjcian was then called, under whose direc-
ton water was thrown in the WOUNDED
mans face, but without the desired result.
Finally, the signal for the close of the
exercises sounded, whereupon the dead
man jumped up as well a ever. In reply
to the question which were put to him he
said that he had done nothing but what it
seemed to him the severity of his wounds
required him to do.

HOMEMADE AeUtBIUN-Ny first at.
tempt at an aquarium was to keep nine
teen minnows in a large bowl on my
window sill l took 4 world of comfort
with them; they got very tame, and
would eat crumbs of bread from my flu
gers, but they had a trick Of Topping out
Of the bowl. and almost every morning |
would find one OF more OF my pets dead or
dying on the floor So finally | gave
what remained Of them to little broth er
for his pond.
4 while after, when at 4 picnic, l found
little pond swarming with nevis. With
the help Of the other girls, and two tin
pals. | caught sixteen. carried them home
through thunder-shower, and put them
in 4 washboEl half full of water, with a
she'll in it big enough for them to crawl up
on, as nevis, after they lose their gills,
cannot live unless they come out of the
water TO breathe. | covered the bowl
with two panes Of glass, leaving a little
crack between them for air, and put two
stones on the glass TO keep it in place
The next morning [ was somewhat
alarmed TO find that they had all shed
their skins during the night, and were
eating them. thought they must be
nearly starved, and hastened to get them
some angle-worms. If you have never
seen nevis eat, you can have no idea of
what pigs they are. They will snap at
anything they see move. Two often get
hold Of the same worm, and neither will
let 60, but both will pull, rolling over and
over till the poor WORM breaks in two.
l put my newtery out Of doors under
an apple tree, and left it there all summer.
Every morning [ fed the nevis and chang
ed the water. One died but the rest
grew very fat Every time they chang d
their skins, which was about once a week, |
their colors got brighter; and they grew
so tame that when l put my hand in the
water they would crawl up on it, and act
as if they liked to be handled-all but !
one, which seemed to have different dis
position from the others, and would snap

How To GET RID oE SUPERFLUoUs Flesh.
Halls J0urHqL Of Health says
Not long ago a gentleman of three score
who had hardly ever been sick in his life
thought he was too feshy and began to,
Bantamize. He succeeded famously, and
boasted to his friends that he had got rid of
ten pounds in a few weeks, 4 little later
be was attacked with a painful aud dan
ger0us maIady, from which he has been suf-
lering more than year If man can
sleep soundly, has a good appetite, with
no unpleasant reminders after meals the
bodily habits being regular every day, he
had better leave himself alone, whether he
is a big as a hogshead or as thin aud dry
as a fence rail. Several cases of Bright's
disease have been reported by medical men
otreputation as a direct result of practicing
Bantam's plan for getting lean The very
best and safest way to get rid Of fat is to
work it off, This may be aided by eating
food which contains a large amount of nitro
gen and small amount of carbon. Nitro
gen food is that which gives strength,
power TO work, as lean meats; carbonaceous
foods are those which makes fat such as
cheese, potatoes, rice, corn, peas beans,
tapioca, arrow root, corn-starch, milk,
sugar, syrup, and all oily and fat food.
Raw fruit largely eaten are great ends TO
reducing weight But, after all, the great
reliance should be in exercise and work in
the open air, Barclay the great English
pedestrian, who performed greater feats
than Weston lost ten pounds in two or
three days walking, and was never the
worse for it.

if the glass had not been accidentally
broken by an apple falling on it. When L
discovered it, some hours later, the little
good-for-nothings had taken French leave
of me forever.
Last fall we were going to have little
company, and l wanted something to
interest our guests; so | got large plain

fine sand, put in a few small bright shells,
and filed it with clear spring water.
Then | put in two baby nevis that had
just been given me, a water snail, poll
Iiwog, two or three small miunows, and
half dozen fresh water clans, beautiful

and all seemed more interested in it than

The CHINESE II CALIFoRNIA.-The h.
dependent publishes an article by Rev
II. c. Trumbul, from which we copy as
follows:
All the way down the western slope Of
the Sierra Nevadas and up and down the
coast Of California the Chinese are numer-
Gus as house servants, hotel walters, field
hands, and laborers on public works. They
did not a little toward building the Central
Pacific Railroad, and now they largely
keep it in repair, wait on guests at its eat
ing houses, wash and iron for its Ameri-
can employees, and serve IN the kitchens
of settlers along Its line. They plant and
tend and gather Strawberries and vegeta-
bles in immense fields that could never be
cultivated by any other available labor.
They furnish Just the help by which the
farmers can DO their sowing and harvest
ing. They are the ordinary factory hands
wherever manufacturing IS attempted
They CLEAN the gold fields, swelling the
rich aggregate product Of mining by their
plodding work in once abandoned claims.
In San Francisco they are no insignificant
portion of the manufacturing and trading
population. Three thousand of them are
said to be engaged in the one item of cigar
making. Some of them are heavy import
ers of teas, silks, and Chinese fancy goods.
Others manufacture cotton and silk on a
small scale. Among them tailors and
shoemakers abound and there are dealers
of all sorts. Most of the laundry work Of
the entire coast seems to be done by them.
Even down to the lowest street scavengers
Cinnamon are busy in San Francisco.
Rarely is one an idler or a drone, all
adding to the wealth and prosperity Of the
Pacific Coast metropolis. Indeed, it is
not easy to see how California could have
attained its present position without Chi
nese industry and resources, or how It
could supply the place of the Chinese, il
they should now be removed.
As laborers, the Chinese are admitted
10 be industrious, economical, intelligent

Rev. Dr. James W. Alexander wrote ID a
friend As / grow old a parent, my
views are changing fast as to the degree Of
conformity to the world which we should al
low to our children. / am horror struck to
count up the prodigate children 81 pious
parents and even ministers. The door at
which these influences enter, which counter
vail parental instruction and example, | am
persuaded, is yielding to the ways of good
society. By dress, books, and amusemeuts,
an atmosphere Is formed which is not Chris
tianity. More than ever do ! feel that our
families must stand IN Kind but determined
opposition TO the world, brcasting the waves
like the Edystone Lighthouse And | have
found nothing yet which requires more cour-
age and independence than to raise even a
little, but decidedly above the par Of tic
religious world around US. Surely, the way
in which we commonly 60 on is not the way
Of self denial and sacrifice and cross bearing
in which the New Testament talks Of. Then
is the offense of the cross ceased. Our slen-
der influence on the circle Of our friends ls
often to be traced to our leaving so little
difference between US.

few nights since John Wright of VIII
Jamestown, and Leland Thompson OF Pownal,
discovered in one Of the traps OF the former
a large black bear, which had twice before
managed to spring the trap and carry off the
halt This time, however, the skill of the
TRAINER was too many for bruin. Wright
conceised the novel idea of capturing the
animal alive, and directed Thompson, whose
evner;ence in bear hunting had been limited.
% hold him by the hind leg while he bound
i'm. when a iudicrous scene was presented
AS John had anticipated. Thompson was IN
stantly thrown into the mud and y water, with 6
nal blow on the head with club, and
Thompson was released from his unpleasant
tempt to hold a bear by the leg; The
weight of this sheep stealer was 33o Il

\ pretty piece of romance was spoiled az
the Hamilton Camp meeting, last week,
where fue boy baby was, as supposed
abandoned by woman. The little fellow
was speedily . adopted > by Mr. and Mrs
Ashworth of Ballardvale, and dutifully sent
up to the stand to be christened. Everybody
stood up to see the innocent sprinkled, and
Hamilton Ashhury Ashworth was given as
its name. just then up cnmc the mother,
with proofs of her ownership, and took pos
session of her darling WhereupOn itappeared
that early IN the day she had placed the
child in It's grandmother's care which un-
natural relative afterwards got tired Of her
charge and relieved herself of it in the way
above stated.

Moscow STREET SCENEs.-A picture
slue view of the street population of
Moscow Is given in the following sketch
Neither cathedral, nor bazaar, nor hos
pital has more charms for the stranger
than the outdoor life of the city. The
streets are OF varying width crooked
paved with sharp, finty stones, and lined
with buildings Of every style of archi-
lecture. Churches, palaces, and the pink
and yelIow-washed cottages Of peasants
are jumbIed together, and from whatever
point you look, some picturesque group OF
domes and towers delight the eye, or per-
haps down the vista you catch glimpse
of the Kremlin wall
Through these aveneus pours the varied
population. Princes pass in their swift
carriages, and perhaps the metropolitan,
hidden in his stately coach drawn by sleek
black horses Of noble breed merchants
dash By IN their droskies-men, it may be,
Of enormous wealth, and whose transac-
tions are now with Pekin drays and
country carts lumber along, driven by
peasants with wide blouses tucked into
high boots, or tied with string-their

or strips Of lime-tree bark-a blouse like

faces, they should choose pink | do not
understand, over the trousers, confined
at the waist by sash or belt Of leather,
and this, unless in a heat of noon, a wrap
per Of sheepskin reaching below the knees
while often there IS no covering for the
head but the yellow, matted hair, bound
with a filet, and falling low on the shoul-
ders as the full beard falls on the breast.
In the open spaces stand the coachmen
with their vehicles waiting to be hired
dressed in low, broad crowned, black hats;
caftans Of dark cloth, fitting close about
the neck but without collar, padded at
the hips doubled in front, fastened under
the left arm with six mettle buttons while
their thick white gloves, when not in use
are secured by their thumbs to their CIR
dies. Men carry about buckets filled with
saited cucumbers, selling them one by one
