WHHE-WHIPPING IN RUSSIA. - The
married women of Russia, according to
various writer's, look upon sound whip
ping on the part of their husbands as an
expression of affection. The story Is
told of handsome Russian lady, mar
ried to a Frenchman, who after fourteen
days of supreme happiness, became very
sad and melancholy, showing signs of
most profound grief. The young hus-
band being very anxious to know the
cause of her sorrow, she explained the
matter, after much questioning on his
part, by saying GLOW can I believe
that you love me? We have already
been united nearly four weeks, and you
have not beaten me once - The hus-
band was delighted to learn that her
grief could SO easily be assuaged, and
lost no time in procuring tender and
elegant rod, with which, on suitable oc-
casions, he bestowed upon her the ne
cessary tokens Of his love.

A HERo.-A hero, indeed, was Her
bert, the pilot Of the Southern Belle,
burned on the Mississippi. With the
alarm of fire the Belle was headed for
the bank, but desnite the eXertions of
the officers to calm the passengers, some
forty in number, the utmost confusion
prevailed-terror that defes description
seemed to seize them, and passengers
and deck-hands, frenzied with terror,
jumped overheard, the shrieks of the
drowning and piteous appeals for help
sounding high above the sullen roar of
the flames. 1t seemed an age, although
it was but short time ere the Belle
grated against the bank, and pell-mell
the passengers and crew sought the shore.
The pilot, true hero, remained at his
post until the last moment, amid the
flames that encircled the pilot-house,
and almost blinded by smoke, with death
staring him in the face, until all that
could had reached the shore. When he
considered his own safety, around and
beneath him was sea Of fire /; escape by
the usual way was impossible clear
jump of so feet to the dock was the only
alternative. He stood poising himself for
the jump, calm and collected, king in
his glorious manhood, and then down
he went crashing, only to fall on deck
mangled unto death, with his spine
broken.

How CUSTER WAS KILLED. An
gus Mcdonald, of Colville, has arrived
down from a tour in Northern Montana
and the Rocky Mountains. He says
that much smoldering excitement pre-
walls in the minds of the interior Indians
concerning the Sioux war. The Sioux
had reported to their camps that they
had killed since the war began up to the
middle of July, four or five hundred
men. Big Rain was the chief who killed
Gen. Custer, but his body was not mangl
ed because he was clad In leathern suit,
whence they took him to be some brave
accidental stranger out with the troops.
While Gen. Custer was running his sec
ond man through the body with his
sword he was shot by Big Rain, the
Sioux Chief, in the head. Mr.. Mcdon-
aid thinks that whatever help the United
States troops achieve from auxiliary In
dians is, in the long run, undermined by
the bad impression it leaves on the In
dams mind of the imbecility, treachery,
and want of fair power on the part of
the white man to whip him.

FARMERS WIVES. wives,
as a general thing, work entirely too
hard Let them moderate their labors
to the proportion of their strength. and
even if help has to be obtained, to make
up the deficit, it were surely better than
to wear out prematurely from exposure
and overwork, and leave your children
at tender age without a mothers care.
A good woman, with good husband,
can be happier nowhere than on a farm;
but let not sense of duty in the one,
and q false economy in the other, de-
prive the wife OF all needed assistants.
It is far better to enjoy life in old age
with your children than to have slaved
through life to leave them a fortune,
while you lay down in premature grave
ere Ife's great tasks be fully done. Let
the duties and responsibilities usually
devolved upon farmers wives be lessen
ed, and furnish abundant help for the
work to be performed.

LIGHTNING IN CAMP.-A camp of
soldiers was lately struck by lightning in
France, and the result is a good instance
of the effectiveness Of points to attract
the electric fluid. The tents were full
of men and arms, and the cots had iron
frames. In one tent three men were
killed and seven wounded, all but one
being struck either in both legs OF on
the right leg. That one was struck in
the right eye. In another tent where
four men were wounded, the charge en-
tered by both legs or the left one. Some
men were thrown out of their beds, or
turned over in them. The uniforms of
the soldiers were perforated, and show
ed spots which are said to be ''sil1phur-
ized." One of these will be analyzed.
The most significant part of the occur
renee is the escape of tent which stood
near the telegraph line. A soldier stan
ding in front of it was struck, but the
tent escaped, the electric current passing
to the telegraph, where it broke doz-
en- poles. Tt is thought from this that
camps may be protected by being sur
rounded with lines of wire surmounted
with points, and well connected with the
earth.-NoUen26er Galaxy.

How THEY MAKE PINs.-A snappish,
voracious little dwarf Of machine pulls
in the wire, bites it off by inches inces-
sanity, lao bites minute, and just as it
seizes each bite saucy little hammer
with concave face hits the end of the
wire three taps and "upsets" it to a
head while he grips it in countersunk
hole between his teeth and lays it side
ways in a groove, where levers and
springs playing like lightning, point the
pins and hence they are dropped into a
box. The pins are then polished and
two very intelligent machines reject ev-
cry crooked pit. Another automaton as
sorts half dozen lengths, and perfect
genius of a machine hangs the pins by
the heads and transfers them to slips of
paper, and by one movement sticks them
all through two corrugated ridges in the
paper, when the work is finished. The
pin machine is one of the nearest ap-
proaches to the dexterity of human hand
that has been invented. It is about the
size of a sewing machine, which it close
ly resembles.

MORE FOR HUXLEY Modena, in
Italy, within circle of four miles around
the city, whenever the earth is dug and
the workmen arrive at the distance of
sixty three feet, they come to bed of
chalk, which they bore with an auger,
five feet deep. They then withdraw
from the pit before the auger is remov-
ed, and upon its retraction the water
bursts up with great violence and quick
Iy fills the well thus made, the supply
cf water neither being affected by rains
nor droughts. At the depth Of sixteen
feet are found the ruins of an ancient
city-houses, paved streets and mason
work Below this is a layer of earth,
and at twenty-six feet walnut trees are
found entire, and with leaves and wal
nuts upon them. at twenty-eight feet
soft chalk is found and below this vege-
tation and trees and the remains of an
other city.

HOW TO TREAT SORE THROAT AND
SCARLET FEVER.
[From the Indianapolis Journal


Your paper of this morning speaks
of the prevalence of scarlet fever and
diptheria in the northern part of the city.
To parents whose children shall be
thus stricken down let me suggest that
in diptheria or putrid sore throat, when
ever the appearances are indicated by a
flushed face, and sometimes Immediately
an emission of yellowish matter from the
nostrils- generally from but one, but
always at the beginning of the disease,
the swelling of the throat-fill at once a
hose half full of salt, wet it with cold
water, adjust the salt so that it may lie
evenly from ear to ear, and apply at once
to the throat. If matter shall obstruct
the nostril remove it by passing the fin
ger down from the bridge of the nose.
Keep the nostrils free. Keep the feet
warm, and excite them by rubbing until
the child shall sensibly feel the action.
Keep the tongue and mouth moist by
dropping into the mouth or upon the
tongue a few drops at time of rich
cream. This is especially necessary and
important when the disease is aggravated
and the child has fallen into a stupor.
Whatever medical aid may do, the
above suggestions will, if carried out,
serve as very material help in restoring
your child.
The writer thus administered to his
own children for malignant diptheria,
and thus put them in condition to re-
ceive with benefit the skill and medicine
of a physician, with which, by close
watching and nursing, they were made
well, passing, however, from diptheria
through what the physician called dip
theritic scarlet fever. The treatment
was simply by laxatives, and greatest
caution against currents of air passing
too near, the patient, at the same time,
in both diseases, having a perfectly ven
tilated room, and disinfecting the whole
house and sick-room with Chord of
lime.
As scarlet fever approaches more slow
ly, time is afforded to prepare for it. By
the application of the above suggestions
and prompt action our three children
were spared, and this communication is
made i'll the hope that the same admin
istrations may be the means of saving
the lives of other dear and loved ones.
