Moscow DrOsky Drivers.

On the other size of the street there are
three droskies with their drivers sleeping
in the sun, waiting for passengers. One
il covered chaisc in the modern style.
the others are the old fashioned guibars on
which one sits sst,ide AS on horse, keep
ing tight hold Of the drivers waist for
fear of falling. Some Of these droskies
are cool enough, with fast horses, but
the most Of them are abOminable, and
the detestable pavement Ids still more
to ones sufferings. 1t is great comfort
when We can have the good snow roads
of winter and the coy little sledges; then
one starts out with something like pleas
ure, thou IN with the chance of being upset
in gutter. Moscow is so large and the
sidewalks are So narrow and SO bad, that
it is next to impossible to walk much,
and one soon falls into the lazy habit of
always driving. These isuotstchiks prop
%ly wear a long blue cqffdn with an odd
fiat hat, but there are so many whp
come in from tue county FIR short
time that you see all varieties Of costume.
Each has brass ticket with his number
tied around his neck. I have seen No.
1890, so that the number Of these We
hicles must be very large. One set of
men 60 out by day, and at night another
set who prowl lazily along the streets or
stand near some frequented corner, al
ways half asleep, in wait for chance
fare. have sometimes surprised them
at their morning toilet, as I have looked
out early in the mornings little saliva
ON the hauds, AMI the face is soon washed.
Three crossings and genutlection to
each quarter Of the horizon complete the
hasty toilet. Th'se isuostchiks do not, Of
course, all own their horses and droskies,
but for the most part they belong to
artels, or cooperative associations. Some
times they hire the horses and droskies
Of some man to whom they pay share of
the profits, and sometimes the artel owns
them all. Their elder or president sees

lodging and board, and their profits 90

divided up.-Scribnsr's IM0nthiy.

HYDROPmOBIA, or its fatal counterfeit,
has GENE very close to us in the terribly
painful death of the young lady at Hyde
Park from the bite Of Spitz dog. A.
most all the mad dog alarms and depre-
dations that are reported from all parts
of the country are to be traced to this
vicinus or unfortunate little animal. If
other dogs become ral,id, it is usually
from too much CONFIDENCE in the handsome
little nuisance that finds his chief diver
sion in running muck among b th the
canine aud human species. The fatal
lure Of beauty has m .de the Spitx pop
ular. Take him in his earliest hours Of
puppyhood. set off his creamy and downy
Whie coat with blue ribbon about his
shaggy throat, and u spectacle Of animate
limo :ence aud sweetness is presented
that is hard to rival, so far rs appearances
20. But trust him not. Nature in
tended him fora different sphere Of action.
Deprived Of his freedom, and doomed to
the depressing influences Of too much &C
tive carbon, his temper becomes irritable,
and the result of his too intimate asso-
citation with humanity is to, often the
sad one that We have recently had
brought to our notice and that all SO
deeply regret. The Spite dog is not
making II savory reputation, and those
who own an animal Of that species should
either send him North or turn him over
to the executioner.

Great Wealth Il Great MOckery.

IT, you are ever tempted to purchase a
very large pear, decline the investment or
reckon upon a disappointment. You
will probably find it woolly, almost
tasteless, and more like turnip than u
pear. We know, for we have made the
experiment in the land where the gigantic
pears are grown. Overgrown fruits
never seem t. us to have the delicate
swce mes which may be found in those
Of tie usual dimensions. What is gained
In quantity is more than lost in quality.
In the same manner great wealth, great
honor, and great rank generally turn out
to be- great shams. Besides the counter
acting influences IF great care and great
temptation, there is the inevitable safety
in too much Of anything. which soon
renders il tasteless. For sweetness pre-
fer competence to enormous fortune, the

them go into his hands, so Harry ac-
cidentally dropped the whole thing,
and made the biggest 'pi' Mr.. Smith
ever had to sort.
The Office left town next day, and
the villagers felt themselves much de-
frauded. Every one who had paid his
subscription, and some who had not,
grumbled exceedingly, for small dull
town, every mole-hill becomes noun
tain.
When the week came around, to
their utter amaZement, they received
their papers as usual.
This was another subject for talk,
and the unanimous decision arrived at
was. that the paper was printed in
st. Paul.
Harry and Nell never told of those
four days and nights work. Nell re-
turned to her books and crochet,
though that had rather lost it's charm
for her, and Harry went to st. Pau, to
make arrangements for business.
And every week the Empress came
out as usual.
When at last the final issue was
mailed, Nell packed her trunks and
took the stage one morning for St.
Paul.
Harry was in successful business
with Mr.. Harte, and when after a
week or SO sightseeing and idling
around, Nell began to long for work,
she laughingly proposed to take po-
sitionin their office.
They told her they had other bust
ness for her.
''I'llgive you plenty to do as sister, .
give an order to waiter at the door.
''And las wife, whispered Mr..
Harte.
Nell turned away, but he seized her
hand.
"May will you? don't say No,
Nellie, he hurriedly whispered.
Nell didn't say ''No' and moreover
she sat very still, and said nothing
while he kissed her hand and whis.
pered:
'sSilence gives consent.
Harry returned, but a sudden silence
seemed to have fallen on those two
whose whole lives had changed in that
one moment of his absence.
s'What has come to you two9' he
said, looking at them; ''did whirl
wind pass by while l was at the door?''
mo, Harry said Mr.. Harte,'' but
I offered your sister situation, and
she accepts it,
"What situation?' laughed Harry.
'sThat of wife,
(Which she hasn't accepted !''begar
Nell, starting up.
''But she will y exclaimed Mr.. Harte
OBTAINING her. Il know she hasn'1
the heart to refuse a brother printer.
Nell laughed-and that settled it.

TELOPHONlC MUSIC.

At a recent telephone concert in
Washington, it was stated by the
lecturer that the electric waves of
sound sent through a single wire are
frequently conveyed, indirectly. by
other wires running parallel with it
on the same poles, although entirely
disconnected from it. This statement
was verified in the Washington office
of the Associated Press, where a
number of the tunes played in Phila-
delphia, and conveyed electrically to
Lincoln Hall in Washington, were
distinctly heard on the relay used in
the Press office, which had no connec.
ton with the wire that was attached
to the telephone. The tones thus con.
veyed, although not loud, were stated
to be audible at a distance af several
yards from the instrument.

POETRY
THE WIND.HARP.

set my wind harp in the wind,
And wind came out Of the south,
Soft, soft, it blew with a gentle COO,
Like words from maiden's mouth
Then like the stir of angels wings.
1t gently touched its trembling strings;
And oh my harp gave back to me
A wondrous heavenly melody.
set my wind harp in the wind,
And storm from the north blew loud,
From the icy north it hurried forth,
And dark grew sea and cloud.
1t whistled down the mountains height,
1t smote the quivoring chords with might,
But still my harp gave back to me
It's tender, heavenly melody.
All me, that such q heart were mine;
Responsive toned and true,
When all was glad, when all was shine,
Or when storms of sorrow blew,
That so, mid all the fret and strife,
The Earring undertones of life,
My life might rise to God, and be
One long harmonious symphony.

MOLES.

A correspondent of the Ohio Guilt
vator says: ''There are two kinds of
moles in this country-English and
American. The English mole is rath-
er small, with short, thick, blue fur;
it's feet are large, broad, and powerful,
used in burrowing; its nose is also very
strong for the same purpose. 1t runs
in burrows. underground generally.
/ have seen it, when plowed up in
corn fields. burrow under the loose soil
rapidly, simply by the use of its nose,
going, even in hard ground, faster
than dog can follow by digging. I
suppose this mole hibernates in ex-
IRENE cold weather, as / have not no.
ticed it during the colder part of this
last winter. / think for this reason
that its food must be chiefly worms
and insects. as these are all gone in
cold weather.
1.-The other mole is about as large as
half-grOwn rat. It's fur is graylsh
brown on the outside. but blue close
to the skin. It's feet are not SO large
or powerful as those of the English
mole, and its runs are mostly on the
surface of the ground, under grass.
| weeds. or rubbish It's nostrils are
extended beyond all other parts Of the
nose. Its smell is very acute. also its
! hearing. but its vision is poor. making
it depend upon its smelling and hearing
for it's principal guides in the rapid
pursuit of insects. The mole mouth
has. in the fore part, four long sharp
incisors-two in upper, two in lower
jaws, like the squirrel and other ro-
dents. In the back part Of the jaw, at
this season Of the year, the teeth are
fat and square, like the grain-eating
animals-not rounded and sharp as in
the animals entirely insect-eating.
| So their teeth must have come in con-
tact with some hard substance which
ground off the sharp points. Again.
they have double stomach, large and
small intestines, ETC., while the AMI
mails Of entirely insect-eating habit
have small and simple stomach, and
scarcely any intestines save the ESQ
| phagus and pylorus. :

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

The desire for length of days seems
to have been far greater in times past
than it is now. With a view of be-
slowing some timely hints on our
active business men, who are rushing
on in pursuit of riches regardless of
the exhaustion of their physical and
the New Y ork Sun publishes lengthy
article, from which we condense the
following:
Nearly all the principal writer's on
longevity are agreed that human
beings may, under the most favorable
conlitions, live to a hundred, and
several have recorded instances of
per sons reaching much greater age;
but the instances given do not in any
case satisfactorily bear rigid examina-
ton. Hufeland, public lecturer at

very little out Of Life. A still more
striking instance of the kind was that
of Mr.. Augustus Hemingway, Of
Boston, who worked himself into a
lunatic asylum, whence he came worth
some S15, OOO,O 900, only to get into his

whether the history of the world could
show more reckless disregard of life
than is shown by commercial men in
this country. The science of com
bining intense application with those
habits which conduce to longevity is
one that they have not acquired. That
it may be acquired cannot be doubted.
Newton lived to a great age; and
great lawyers have been famous for
long life. There seems to be lack of
wisdom in commercial men as to the
real value Of life. They put wholly
lnordinate estimate upon the power
of getting and spending.
Rest assured that there is, in brief,
only one golden rule to be followed by
all who seek longevity moderation
in all things, and management of the
mind.
