RUSSIAN WIVES.

a story has been going the rounds of
the FIench papers illustrating the status
~ married women in Russia. The simple
CONAN in this case seems to have
imagined that she might get from Rus
alan magistrate some sort of protection
AGAINST a husband whose favorite pastime
vas cruelty to torture her. She had
been yoked by her playful husband to
the shafts of his cart, and driven along
for sixteen versts, in double harness with
the horse, under the furious blows of
heavy whip. Having survived this
ordeal. she was brought home again, her
bead was shaved, and after she had been
smeared all over with tar she was rolled
in feathers and then tnrned out OF the
house In this plight she resorted to
the person whom she iondly imagined to
be most beneYJent, or at any rate the
lesst savage, in the village. She went
/ tothe priest but, INSTEAD of obtaining any
shelter or relief, was rudely struck by
the pious man, who called the husband
and advised him to administer fresh
castigation. 1t would have been well
for the woman if she had taken the
! broad hint offered her by this reception
at the priests residence, and had re-
turned home to suffer in silence the tor
ment TO which she was fated. But she
was ignorant OF the Russian law, and she
could not persuade herself that she was
utterly without remedy in such a case as
this. So she went to law, and brought
before the couO both the husband and
the priest Here the procurateurg general
at once declined to enter into any argu-
ment on the subject of the husband, ex-
| planning that the whole matter was one
of merely private family interest, and
! that husband and wife could always
come to an understa 1ding among them
selves without the interference of the
law. The priests case was a little more
difficult. But the worthy man repre-
| sented that facts of this sort occur often
and inevitably among the lower orders .
in Russia, whereupon the court, without
further discussion, acquitted both the ac-
cused persons.

Says the New Orleans CORE spondent
of the Baltimore Sun: "This morning,

tor of the hotel, drew my attention to a
man who was sitting off by himself in

parently about sixty years of age; he
had a downcast look; his feet were peer
ing through his boots; his linen was
sOiled and torn, his black clothes were
spotted and shiny, and yet there was
about him the unmistakable indications
Of decayed gentleman. You see that
man ?" said Col. Rivers. HE was once
among the wealthiest of our rugar plant

one of the best customers of this hotel,
and his bill would average from $72 to
500 a day. Now he has scarcely money

Leak l, the Earn.

Here and there NAV be seen stables
and barns with broken windows, loose
boards, holes in the roofs, or doors and
windows that cape open and refuse to
shut closely. Through these openings
the cold air and rain will leak in and
the warm air will leak out. Such leaks
as these are disagreea5le TO see, and
are uncomfortable TO the occupants of
the buildings. But these are by no
means the whole Of the affair. The
worst Oft is, that through these leaks
the farmers profits disappear, very
silently, it is true, but not the less stead
ilv and constantly. While his cattle
stand and shiver in the cool. sharp
nights, or steam under the penetrating
rain storms or snow, with every shiv-
er there disappears . quantity OF the
fodder from the barn, as well as some
OF the milk from the COWS, some fat
from the steers and the pigs, some
wool from the sheep, and some eggs
from the poultry. The farmer looks
and wonders. He complains that the
cows are rough, that "there is no good
in the feed, that the pigs do not iatten
as fast as they should, that there are no
eggs,and the hens are eating their heads
of. Well, an animal can not use up all
lis foods in keeping warm, and at the
same time make milk, fat, wool or eggs.
These are made from food, and from
only the surplus of the food after the
bodily wants aud needs are supplied.
In the polar regions, a man needs six
pounds of fat meat, and the same of
bread, for his daily meals, while an
East Indian needs but pound OF rice
for DAYS subsistence. " hen working
in the northern woods in the depths of
winter, with the thermometer far be,
low zero for weeks at g time. the lum-
berer eats with relish huge Jumps
OF clear fat pork with his daily two
pounds of bread and liberal messes of
bean soup; food of this kind would
siCken a man, were he 20 look at II III
the harvest field. All this food goes to
make up the waste of heat from the
body during the excessive cold. II Is
precisely so in the barn, or in the pig
pen. If these are kept so warm that
water will never freeze in them, much
less food is needed by the animals than
il the air is far below freezing temper
ature; and if the temperature; is
comfortably warm. less food still will
be required. So whether a stream Of
cold air, snow or rain, pours ia upon
the cattle, or when they are miserable
AID uncomfortable, a stream of wasted
food pour; out all the time through the
leak. Now is the thine TO stop these
leaks. a board here and there; good
glazed window in place Of a broken
shutter; warm, dry litter in place of
foul wet bed; tight roof and a plas
tered or doubled boarded ceiling, all
these are actually worth more than an
extra portion Of the food TO an animal,
because, although when cold and chilled
il eats the more, yet it thrives poorly;
while if well housed, it will keep sleek
and thrifty upon comparatively mod
crate feeding.

A NEW REMEDY FOR BURNS AND
ScALDs.-There is no end to specifics
for burns and scalds, but most of them
prove to be at best mere palliatives.
The latest one comes with an endorse
ment of remarkable character, where
the discoverer gave practical illustra.
ton ofits efficacy, by scalding himself
severely before many witnesses, and
trusting to the new remedy for relief.
The remedy is the application of bi-car-
Donate of soda, (Which is the simple
cooking soda to be- found in nearly all
households) with a wet cloth laid over
it; the pain will vanish as if by magic,
and the injury will rapidly heal.
Some months since. this paragraph
went the rounds of the daily press. as.
serting strongly the value of the bicar-
Donate of sodium in burns. Not long
after, in one of the University laborat-
ories in this city, an assistant of the
editor of this journal burnt the inside of
the phalanx of the thumb severely
whilst bending glass tubing. The sat
urated solution of the bicarbonate of
sodium, used in the cardiometer. was
at once applied; in five minutes the
pain was gone, and with it all soreness,
so that the part, although bIistered, was
freely used and pressed on in bending
tubing, screwing up and : unscrewing
apparatus, etc. In the last number of
