The Trade in Wild Beasts.

AN article in the New York Times gives
some very curious facts respecting the
"wild beast trade" in the United States.
One man in that city monopolizes the en-
tire business. He imports on order every
variety of wild beast and bird, from an
elephant to Guinea pig, from an ostrich
to- Java sparrow. Does the proprietor
of a menagerie lose his elephant, he re-
pairs to this gent'eman's repository He
states whether he would prefer an African
or an Asiatic elephant. He gives his or
der according to his fancy, and in due
time the animal arrives and is immedi-
ately shipped to where his new owners
caravan may happen to be- If an African
lion is wanted, dispatch is at once sent
to Cape Town; if horned horses, giraffes
or rhinoceroses are in demand, orders are
at once sent out to ship to New York all
that can be bought or found.
He employs fifteen men In Asia and
Africa to be on the lookout, and catch for
him whatever is wanted. AS there are
more than thirty menageries travelling
over the country, each of which loses a
certain per centage of animals each year,
this gentleman has business enough and
is enabled to realize good prices. His
sales, it is said, average over 100000 a
year. We are told that, Gas a general
thing" animals are captured when young
by the natives, acting under instructions
from the white agents. If lions are
wanted, the natives sally up the country
and either kill the parents and then Sc
cure the cubs, or track the lioness to her
den, and then, waiting till she goes for
food, Selling the opportunity of taking
the cubs.
In capturing elephants, they drive them,
OLD and young, in an enclosure, hamstring
the old ones, so as to disable them from
protecting their calves, and then easily
secure the young ones

Russia and Her WOrkmen.

The latest of the internal reforms begun
by the Emperor Alexander of Russia is
broad and sweeping measure for the i'm
provement of the condition of factory
hands. Statistics have shown that there
are now about ninety thousand manufac-
tories in the Empire, employing about
million persons, exclusive of those who are
furnished with work at their homes by
these establishments. So badly construct
ed are the factories that the workers in
them have to endure all the maladies en-
gendered by violation of the laws of
health. Ventilation is of the worst posi-
BILE character Cleanliness is something
scarcely ever thought of. Light is bad.
The homes of these toilers are in some re-
spects even worse than the factories, espec-
tally where the slim, overcrowded accom-
modations have to serve the double pur-
pose OF workshop and a residence
Death has consequently reaped heavy
harvest Not half the children now attain
the age of five years from sixty to seven
ty-five per cent. of the laboring population
suffer from the chronic diseases contract
ed by the fatal neglect Of sanitary precau-
lions. The average duration of life
among these people does not exceed twenty
years.
The Russian Government has under
taken to deal with this state of affairs di-
rectly and indirectly, and from the pecu-
liar nature Of the control which it can
exercise, an improvement will be made
Immediately. 1t is intended to regulate
the hours of labor with reference to the
age and sex of the employee; to impose
penalties upon both the parents and the
employers who permit children to work
when not of proper age; to enforce the
payment of a certain compensation by
employers to persons disabled or rendered
infirm in their service; to compel proper
sanitary arrangements in the construction
and maintenance of factories; to institute
careful superintendent of schools and
other institutions for working classes; and
lastly, to appoint Government inspectors
empowered to see all of these measures
carried out fully and in accordance with
their spirit.
Such is brief outline of the sanitary
reform intended to elevate the working
classes of Russia. 1t is noteworthy, as
showing how modern ideas are beginning
to ferment in what was SO lately vast re-
gion supposed to be dead or insensible to
outside advancement. 1t is perhaps we'll
for the stability of Russia that the Gov
eminent has initiated the movement.
Symptoms are occasionally developed
which show that even in Russia human
nature will bear only certain degree of
pressure before it will react The Gar
Alexander may not be as ambitious as his
father, but he is wiser in his generation

Now every one is sending us tiny
hens eggs, little hreefor-a- cent ones They
are not big enough to eat, and yet when
one gets in your pocket, and a lady asks
you to sit down, and you feel confused,
and sit down fast, you find that egg is in

seem too particular, but we really wish
people would quit sending us eggs. Maria

clean that pocket will be to cut it out and
put in new one.-Utac0 Herald.
"A lady residing in Lansingburg hailed
a passing car with her little son the other
morning, to see him safely on the horse
car for trip to Troy. He stepped on
board and scrambled for the front of the
car. AS he was going, his mother said ::
"Why, aren't you going to kiss your mother

delighted at the prospect of ride, and in
such hurry that he hastily rejoined, look

Manifest AbSurdities.

Is there any good reason why the dictates of
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practice? Surely not. Yet how literally they are
sometimes set at naught in the treatment of dys-
pepsla, liver complaint constipation, nervous pros
tratlon and general debility How often are pow
erful purgatiyes, emetics and salivants given In
cases of indigestion, bilious collie and costiveness,
when the disease has already robbed the patient of
strength he needs to combat with the attack. The
absurdity of giving facilitating medicines to sick
people who are too weak already, is so manifest,
that 1t is astonishing how any sane man can believe
In such practice. The rational course under such
lating medicine, and the experience of quarter of
century has proved that Hosetter's Stomach Bit
