Nihilism is on the increase enor-
mously in Russia. 1t increases in q
geometrical ratio by repression. There
seems to be no cure for it but to run its
course of q wild and destructive revo-
luton, anarchy, military despotism,
and back to modified monarchy:
That was the circle which the spirit of
liberty usually runs in an energetic,
virile people. So it was in England
and France. and if it proves SO with the
Muscovites, it will thereby be shown
that they are the material out of which
a long-lived and dominant and enlight-
ened empire is to be made. They have
all the natural resources, and a patient,
plodding, sturdy race, who are in no
danger of going into chronic revolu-
ton like the Spaniard.

of voting any other. On his return
from the depot he was asked for the re-

FOLDING STEPS FOR Cause.-The Del
aware Il Hudson Canal Company have
lately added very useful improvement
to one Of their passenger cars. 1t con-
sists of movable steps, which, at the
stations, are let down within one foot
of the ground. When in motion the
steps are rather high, making it impos-
sible for any one to jump off or on, and
thus preventing the accidents by which
SO many people have been killed or
crippled for life.

1t is stated that the successful borings
for water in Frame county, South Aus
tralia, promise to render large dis
trict, formerly almost destitute of wa
ter, highly valuable for agricultural or
pastoral purposes. One artesian we'll,
400 miles north of Adelaide, sunk to the
depth of $40 feet, yields 10000 gallons
of excellent water day. Much of the
arid and inhospitable region between
the coast and the rich lands which have
been discovered in the interior of the
continent is expected to be reclaimed
by systematic tapping OF the springs
supposed to exist beneath.

The best lawyers always tell the best
stories, and with none the less zest
when at their own expense. Not long
ago Counselor c. was before Sur
rogate Calvin in case where the ques-
ton involved was as to the mental con-
dition of the testatrix. The witness
under examination, herself an aged
lady, had testified to finding Mrs. S.
failing, childish, and that when she
told her something she looked as though
she didn't understand. Counselor
c.. cross-examining, tried to get
her to describe this look, but she didn't
succeed very we'll in doing SO. At last,
getting little impatient, he asked
Well, how did she look? Did she
look at you as l am looking at you now,
for instance?" The witness, very de.
murely. replied: well, yes kind OF
vacant like. "-Hwper'S.

SETTING THE TABLE. AN untidy,
frowsy girl cannot set dinner table
properly, unless she has received care
full training. The household mistress
should attend to this duty herself.
Country house keepers, alas ! while too
solicitous of the substance, often COM
pletely ignore the symbol. In most
cases their cloths are clean usually in
some districts that is all. They are often
wrinkled, frequently there are no nap
kins, the, glass is dingy, the knives un-
polished, the food arrayed more as re-
CARDS quantity than appearance, and,
altogether, to sit at such board long
would effectually check any attempt to
rise above the gross materiality of the
subject. There is scarcely woman
who in her secret heart would not de-
sire better. But the thought Of set
of hungry, impatient, dusty, sweaty
farm hands hangs upon her like mill
stone. Yet would advise her to try
the experiment, and see how it works.
l am familiar with every difficulty
which can beset the mistress of a
farm. house. Yet think what cause you
have to hope. Your men and boys all
go to the pump ana splash themselves
plentifully with water as though by in
stinct. II they knew that you sincerely
desired it, they would soon form the
habit of taking just minute or two
more to arrange their toilets. 1t is
pretty safe to say that if the table inva
riably presented an exquisite appear
ance for two weeks, they would be sorry
to see relapse the third. With pa
thence, you might complete your good
work.

To my thinking, there is not a single
noble character to be found through
out Homer, though many worthy and
estimable. In Shakespeare is to be
found one pair of noble characters
yet not SO in supreme degree-Cor-
della and Coriolanus, hardly any more:
the rest are made of the same stuff as
Homer's folk. Put all Goethe's works
together, and you cannot find a siEgle
instance of the magnanimity portrayed
in Schiller's Marquis Posa. p

In the Jaws of q Huge Fish.

A telegram from Ocean Grove, n. j.,
Aug. u, says: This morning three young
men went in bathing at Ocean Park, a
short distance south of this place, and
soon one of them, William KillOck, aged
Is years, was heard to cry out to his
companions for help. They saw large
fish jump half out of the water, and Kill
lock cried: I" 1 am bit /; my legs are cut. -
They landed him on the beach, and
found that the whole of the calf of his
leg was lacerated, as though the wounds
had been made by many large teeth.
KillOck said that when he was floating
something snapped at his leg, and the
sensation was like the incisiOn of thou
sand needles. He then felt huge body
by his side, and when he struck it it let
60 its hold, jumped partly out of the
water, and dashed away. He thought
that it was shark, because it had a sort
of shovel nose. His wound, though Sc
rious, is not dangerous, but will cOnfine
him indoors for some time. He lives in
Philadelphia.

H.,srs to the Braye-1 Goose Story.

On Wednesday an interesting fight be-
tween two geese was witnessed in va
cant lot ON Summer Street, near South
Union. A flock of geese were engaged
in extracting from large mud-hOle such
delicacies as are relished as food by that
festive bird, when a stranger-goose made
his appearance and began quietly grub
bling, evidently deeming the mud.hOle
common property. For some time the
appearance of this stranger was not no
ticed, but at last one of the geese looked
up and beheld the intruder, and, walk
ing to his companions, seemed to COM
municate the intelligence to them. A
short consultation was held, and one Of
the number approached the intruder,
and, rs subsequent actions proved, ex.
tended challenge for combat. This
challenge was promptly accepted, and
the two began to fight, all the geese sur
rounding the two and cackling fiercely.
For a period of about ten minutes the
warfare was waged fiercely, and at the
end of that time the intruder began to
press his antagonist SO hard that he took
refuge in fight. The intruder, after
following his opponent short distance,
returned to the spectators and was re-
ceived by them in silence. He raised
his wings and strutted round, cackling
all the time. The whole crowd then fol-
lowed the vanquished goose, kissing and
striking ut him with their mouths and
forcing him away. The victorious in
tl1lder was taken into full membership,
their former companion being banished.
The process of grabbing in the mud
hole was then resumed with unwonted
activity.-Nashrille Tenn. J american.

To PICKLE GRAPEs.-Takc grapes
fresh from vines, pick them from the
stems without breaking; then put them
in your jar; for seven pounds of grapes
take one quart vinegar, three pounds
sugar, one tablespoonful whole cloves
and the same of cinnamon bark; boil
all together a few minutes; then let it
cool until you can bear your finger in it /;
pour over your grapes, turn a plate over
them, and set them in cool cellar, and
they are done. DO not cook the grapes,
nor beat the pickle over; if properly
prepared they will keep year, and be
as plump and fresh as when picked from
the vines. Do not disturb them for a
couple of weeks, and then when YOU
taste them you will be paid for all the
pains you have taken with them. These
are of more value than all the strength
ening bitters, wines or appetizers. The
pickle is splendid for mince or vinegar
pies,
