LONDON, April 4.-The full text of
Lord Salisbury's circular had not
reached st. Petersburg or Vienna
yesterday evening. At st. Peters
burg the circular is regarded as proof
that the Congress could not have sue
ceeded if it had met at Vienna. The
effect is so satisfactory as to almost
compensate for the failure of the
Congress negotiations, and Austria
now awaits the effect Of English and
her own communications at st. Pc
tersburg. The Vienna New Free
Press says the renewal of bloodshed
will be Russias fault. England is
championing international rights and
the Freindenblat says: "If Russia NIT
igates the treaty stipulattons in con-
sideration of Turkish alliance, she
will thereby deprive that treaty of
any binding force.
PARIS, April 5.-Prince Orloff, Rus
sian Ambassador, has complained
against the tone of the French press,
particularly the Journal des Debats,
which belongs to Leon Say, French
Minister Of Finance, and the Repub-
lique Francaisse, Gambetta's organ.
Prince Orloff contends that for these
papers Government is responsible.
The French Minister OF Foreign AZ
fairs in reply to the Princes COM
plant said the Government has mo
control over the papers in question,
but the press has been invited to be
less aggressive. Prince Orloff was
much dissatisfied with the reply.

Advice Not Taken.

Few Of US who admiringly contemplate
the great career Of Daniel Webster have
reflected what splendid juggler he
might have made. But one cannot follow
everybody's advice, and Daniel Webster,
whstsver the loss may have. been to him
or to the world, certainly neglected the
opportunity to become wizard. Mr..
Harvey, his anecdote- biographer, repeats
his story of his last visit to the Hansons
in Hanover "a family whom his father had
bsfriended), just before his graduation
from college.
III spent the night. and was about to
leave the next morning, when Hanson
said to me-
swell, Daniel, you are about to grad.

have got college larnin', and now what
are you going to do with it9'
II told him had not decided on q
profession.
"'Well, 'said he, you are good boy;
your father was kind man to me, and
was always kind to the poor. I should
like to do kind turn for him and bis.
You've got through college, and people
that 60 through college either become
ministers, or doctors, or lawyers. As for
bein' minister, would never think Of
dom that; they never got paid anything.
Ooctcrin' is miserable profession; they
live upon other peoples ailin's, are up
nights, and have no peace. And as for
bein' lawyer, would never propose
that to anybody. Now said he, Dan
iel, I'll tell you what! You are boy Of
parts; you understand this book-larnin'
aud you are bright. 1 knew a man who
had college larnin' down in Rye, where
lived when was boy. That man was
a conjurer; he could tell, by consultin'
his books and study, if man had lost
his COW, where she was. That was
q great thing; and if people lost
anything, they would think nothin' Of
payin' three or four dollars to man like
that, SO as to find their property. There
is not copjurer within hundred miles
Of this place, and you are q bright boy,
and have got this college larnin'. The
best thing you can do, Daniel, is to study
that, and be a conjurerr "-Companion

An Awful Holocaust.

At Tientsin, says the Hong Kong Hail.
terrible calamity occurred. A fire
broke ont at 10 o'clock in the morning, at
one Of the relief yards established out
side the city wall for the benefit of the
famine refugees. A strong Northeast
wind was blowing at the time, and scarce.
ly an hour passed before all the sheds
were burned, and between 2,8OO and
1900 women and children were suffocated
or burned to death. As correct an esti.
mate as l can get gives the number Of in.
mates as 5000, of which only a little over
100 escaped. The location of this soup
kitchen was unfortunate. On the East
side was the city ditch; on part of the
South and West sides was an ice pit,
while hUuses lined tho remaining sides.
In addition, it was surrounded by q strong
fence of kauliang stalks plastercd with
mud, in which there was only one gate,
and it Is said that on the bursting forth of
the hamee, the gate-keepcr locked the
gate and ran away. Many of the Chinese
showed much courage in trying to render
assistance, as testified by an eye witness,
who, passing just at the time, FASTENED to
do what he could in tearing down the
fence and rendering other services. He
speaks IF the scene at that time as terrible
beyond description. The scene presented
after the fire had done its work was ghast-
ly and horrible, and the picture of it
rises before my mind as one that can never
be effaced. The contortions of the fea-
lures, the positions Of tie bodies, hands,
limbs, mouth and eyes, the same as when
the flame and smoke overlook them, re-
minded one of the description of Pompeii.
Had the gate been left open probably
many more might have made their es-
cape, but so rapidly did the flames spread
through the mat sheds, and in the straw
and mats spread on the ground as pro.
lection against dampness, that before an
opening could be made 10 the fence few
even were left to linger ON in suffering.
How the fire originated no one seems to
know spark, possibly, from the range
where at the time the millet was cooking.

A Homemade Telephone.

l noticed recipe for making cheap
given by Prof Barrett in a
recent lecture on that instrument. In
making his instrument you use a bar
magnet, and have to go to considerable
trouble, for all of which you can only
talk distance of about hundred yards.
Now I can give recipe much more sim
pie, and when the instrument is finished
you can converse at distance of nearly
five hundred yards. Take two half gal
Ion Tor quartz tin fruit cans and take the
bottoms out of them. Now take couple
of half cigar boxes, tack down the lids
and cut Q hole through the bottom and
lid of each, SO you can fit in your cans,
first bringing the ends level with the lid
or bottom. Now stretch wet rawhide,
parchment or bladder over the other end
and tie tight and let it dry, and your
speaking tubes are finished. Now take
two. ply of shoe thread and wax it we'll,
making it as long as you wish it. Punch
hole in tho centre of the parchment
head, poke the end of the string through
and put knot on it to keep it from pull
ing back. Then put up your string like
a telegraph wire, but don't let it touch
wood. Where you wish to support it or
make turn, run it through loop of the
same kind of string, but don't put the
supporting loops closer than is necessary
to keep it up, and leave the string pretty
loose to allow for contraction when wet.
Fssten up your speaking tubes at each
end Of tho route, and you are ready to
gable away. You can bore large gimlet
holes in your window sash to run the line
out through, keeping it from touching
the sash with loop, a. described. The
signal call is to drum ON the parchment
end of the can with our fingers, or bet
ter, pick the string like harp about q
foot from the head. They are very USE
full and interesting.-Detroit Free Press.

REFORM Your TABLEs.-A gentleman
from Smithville, No., sends Us the fol
lowing: The great American malady is
the malady of the stomach. Conscien-
tious people become dyspeptics; non-
conscientious people become drinkers.
Bear in mind this fact, that the appetite
for drink is not necessarily made by
drinking, but in nine cases out of tsu
it 10 created and cultivated at your
tables-in your children-by the use Of
coffee, tea, pepper, pickles, mustard,
spices, too much salt, hot bread and
pastry, raw meat and grease, and above
all, BY the use Of tobacco. The cry Of
. depraved appetite and inaamed stomach
il always for something stronger. Re-
form your tables if you wuold reform
your drunkards and save your sons.
