A REIGN OF TERROR IN RUSSIA.

In six districts of Russia the govern
ment has resumed the exercise of that
absolutely despotic authority which in
theory always exists In the dOminiOns of
the Gar, but which, in the notifications
of many generations, had dropped out of
use and given place to an administration
in which people lived as in countries
where they have rights guaranteed by the
protection of law. By the appointment
of governors general for Petersburg,
Kharkoff, Odessa, Moscow, Kieff and
Warsaw the government does not merely
declare martial law-though these gov
errors have as absolute authority as gen.
erals in time of war-but it relegates So
ciety in those districts to the condition
in which it was at least century ago.
Every mans life is subjected to that alb
solute scrutiny, espionage and immedi
ate accountability to authorities neither
polite nor considerate-that constitutes a
moral reign of terror wherever il exists.
The progress of a hundred years is count
ed out of the game of Russian history as
to those six provinces.-N. Y. Herald, 20.

POTATOES.

Prof Tracy, of the Missouri agricul
tural college, has this to say of some OF
the varieties of potatoes tried by him on
the college farm last year:
Beauty of Hebron, introduced by the
department of agriculture last year, is s
very smooth white potato, of excellent
table quality. 1t is shaped like the early
Rose, and ripens at about the same time
but appears to be much better keeper
Snowflake has proved universally good
with me; it is of fine quality, yields vel
and keeps well.
Brownell's Beauty has been failure
when planted on heavy clay lands, but
on we'll drained river bottoms 1t will give
an enormous yield of excellent potatoes
White Neshannock is among the best
for for fall and carly winter uses, but is
very uncertain, and sometimes nearly ev
cry tuber will rot in the ground.
Early Rose heads the list for summer
and fall use, but when grown in a warm
climate it becomes Watery and of inferi
or flavor in the winter"

forcible possession of and settlement up
ON lands of what is known as the Indian

which territory is designated, recognized
and described by the treaties and laws of
the United States, and by executive au-

IT WAS ALIVE.
The Finest Exhibit at the Paris EXPOSE
ton.
St Nicholas

~.
An interesting feature of number of
the foreign sections at the Paris exhibit
ton was the soldiers who had been sent
there by their respective governments,
nominally to guard the exhibits, though
principally as a sort of ornament, they
being simply required to stand round
and be looked at by the curiosity seek
ing visitors. Some economical govern
ments, thinking that wooden soldiers
would answer the same purpose at less
expense, accordingly displayed figures
representing soldiers in the various uni
forms, and people IN the different cos
tunes of the country. These figures
were sometimes quite well made, and
were placed in such positions as often to
appear quite life-like. We have more
than once seen people open their mouths
to ask their way of one of these wooden
soldiers; and we ourselves on one Occa-
sion deeply apOlogiZed to u wooden Chi
nese mandarin, whom We had carelessly
run into and almost thrown off his bal
ance.
Sergt. Jones, of the L. s. Marine
corps had doubtless witnessed similar
laughable mistakes, and this is probably
what suggested TO him the idea of play
ing little trick at the expense of the
visitors.
At all events, one fine afternoon, as we
were passing through the American sec
ton, we found the sergeant standing per
fectly straight and absolutely still, near
one of the showcases. Rather perplexed
at his attitude and at the seriousness of
his expression, we sought a post of OBJ
servatiOn and waited.
For u while no one noticed him, but as
he continued immovable some one pres
emily stopped before him and stared.
Then two, three, four, six idlers stopped
to see what the first idler was looking at.
There stood the sergeant, grave, silent
and mOtionless. An incredulous smile
appeared on the faces of the observervers
and their number doubled, trebled, quad
rupled. The sergeant had not moved.
Some one ventured to touch his hand,
another followed, and presently dozen
curious people were feeling him from
head to foot. Not muscle relaxed-he
had not so much as winked. An exhib-
itor who was busting the contents of his
showcase seeing what was up, sauntered
carelessly along and carefully busted of
the sergeant. This settled the question
beyond a doubt; it was statue! There
were now about 300 people of all nation
alities gathered about this marvel Gus
piece of workmanship!

| different languages.
The last man had barely opened his
lips to have his say, when the look of ad
miration suddenly departed from the 300
| faces, and the 800 Threats simultaneously
sent out guffaw which fairly shook the
vast edifice, and attracted hundreds OF
| visitors from all sides.
The statue had turned on its heel and
quietly marched off.

Should you during the day enter into

and some times pretty lively ones-don't
harbor the unkind, words said; trytO for

girls can caress little brother and nurse
anger in their hearts.
You can train young mind and heart
in any direction you choose; you have
the power Of implanting an abhorance
of rude, uncouth things, and bringing
all the better feelings and longings into
play. l am speaking seriously, girls
and / want you to try my plan, and SET
if by cultiyating q kindly spirit and pa,

inform yourself upon these subjects. II
