could see a few cents more profit, have been
guilty OF offering worthless substitutes for

By It's JuH name. and take no other.

A Nihilist's Awful Death.

On the northern shores of the Black
sea lies the beautiful city of Odessa,
celebrated as the chief grain exporting
city of the Russian empire. But in
this city there is prison which is by
no means beautiful. To any person
unacquainted with the horrible sides of
mankind's character the following
would seem to be incredible. 1t is told
by the Paris Steele, and is unquestion-
ably true:
Ayoung Russian Nihilist, Mr.. Somoff,
had been for years time incarcerated
in that Odessa prison. The cell allotted
to him was so filed with filth of every
description that he was daily near suf-
location. When he could not stand the
filthy smell any longer he petitioned
the authorities in the case to have him
placed before the proper judges in the
matter and duly tried. This petition
maddened his jailer into downright
Russian frenzy, and his next order was,
"Take that scoundrel, tie him to the
lashing-post and give him twenty-five
knout strikes"
The subordirates, as in duty bound,
obeyed the mandate. They took Somoff,
tied him to the terrible triangle, and
went so notify the jailer that his pris-
oner was ready for the execution.
Somoff, finding himself alone, and see-
ing a petroleum lamp burning above
him just within his reach-the tragedy
occurred in the evening-tried to grab
it. Impossiblel And then what did

The Sinking of Vessel by a Whale.

Since it has been generally conceded
that the fish which foundered Capt
Larsen's bark Columbia in mid-ocean,
by humping big hole in her port bow
must have been a whale, popular in
terest in the accident has palpably de-
creased. In truth, it was hardly more
the strange disaster itself than the pos
sibility of a new and dangerous sea-
monster being concerned in it that ex-
cited attention-some mysterious, pow
erful submarine creature, it was hoped,
hitherto unknown and unexpected.
Hence the opinion of one of che crew
that a whale struck the vessel was at
first secuted in favor of the more-se-
ductively indefinite statement of another
that it was "a huge something with fins
and tail" All the evidence, however,
is in favor of the whale theory, and it
is conceivable that a big whale, going at
full speed, could stave in the planks of
an old craft like the Columbia. Had
the vessel been insured, some persons
might possibly have found ground for
suspecting voluntary scuttling, but
she is said not to be insured. Besides,
Capt. Larsen, who is white haired
mariner, with candid eyes, broken En-
glish, and an honest smile, has inspired
general confidence in his veracity. It
is said that this is the first case on rec
ord OF a vessel actually sunk by whale.
Perhaps it should rather be called the
first case of a sunken vessel whose crew
escaped to tell. the story. May not
more than one vessel that has sailed
and never been heard of have fallen
victim to this form of disaster ?-Ne,c

The Physical Value OF Singing.

Singing is one of the healthiest ex
ercises in which men, women and chill
dren can engage. The Medical No.
chensctrift, of st. Petersburg, has an
article based upon exhaustive researches
made by Prof. Monassein during the
autumn of 1878, when he examined
222 singers ranging between the ages of
8 and So. He laid chief weight upon
the growth and absolute circumference
of the chest, upon the comparative re-
lation of the latter to the tallness of
the subject, and upon the pneumatic
metric and spirometric condition of
the singer. 1t appears to be an ascer-
tanned fact from DIR. Monassein's exper-
iments that the relative, and even the
absolute, circumference OF chest is
greater among singers than among
those who do not sing, and that it in
creases with the growth and age of the
singer. The professor even says that
singing may be placed physically as the
antithesis of drinking spirituous liquors.
The latter hinders, while the former
promotes.
