Children Eaten by Wolves.
CFrom the London Telegraph


1t is certainly little startling to
hear, at this advanced period in the his
tory of European civilization, that
wolves are threatening large districts
within hail of populous towns on the
northern shore of the gulf of Finland.
Such, however, appears to be the fact,
and men are now, as In the Middle Ages
sustaining a mortal combat with the
wild beasts Of the forest. A correspon-
dant at Hango states that II children
have, during two months, been carried
off by these ferocious marauders, steal
ing down from the neighboring woods
to the very threshold of the peasants
houses. His challenge to English lovers
of adventurous sport is one that may be
taken up In earnest, the promise of ex-
element being more likely to tempt
keen sportsmen than the offer of re-
ward which has been placed by the Fin
ISL authorities ON the head of every wolf
killed or captured. Two kinds OF dogs
are indicated by our correspondent as
most ser7i ceable in wolf hunting. These
are sheep-dogs and bulldogs form
er we suppose, to drive the game and
bring it into circle, and the latter to
pull it down. Wolf-skins are handsome
trophies, and If some scores of English
hearts should before the end of this win
ter be ornamented with such tokens OF
manly sport it will enhance the value OF
picturesque rugs to know that every one
means the removal from a suffering
peasantry of a cruel and deadly scourge.

A Man of Nerve.

A thrilling accident occurred at the
American Iron Works, in Pittsburgh,
the other day. While Robert Moore
was at work at his rolls his catcher failed
to seize with his tongs bar of white
iron which had been placed between the
rolls. The iron twisted itself thrice
around the roll, forming "collar.
The catcher struck the iron, when there
f1eW OFT piece in the shape of ring,
with stem 20 inches long running off
at right angles to the circles. The band
flew back and fell around Moore's head,
resting on his shoulders. Quick as
thought he grabbed the long stem with
his longs and the white hot ring with his
hand, and with steady nerve and gentle
movement lifted the fiery thing from his
shoulders. His face was badly burned
and the flesh of his hand was cut into
the bone. After the iron had cooled he
put the ring over his head It was but
two inches larger in diameter than his
head.

Root grating can be accomplished In
the house and the grated stocks be
stored In the cellar in boxes of earth.
While there is comparative leisure, trees
already set in the nursery or orchard
may be labelled and such records made
as will enable the owner or his assistants
at moments notice, to learn just what
fruits are on the place and the exact
locality in which they are growing. All
plants in cold pits and cellars now re-
quire rest. and therefore ought to re-
ceive only water enough to prevent them
from drying up.
LATER broods of chickens frequently
occur where fowls are allowed their
liberty. It is a waste of eggs. hens
time, and chicks. They will come out
sometimes on the very borders of win
ter. Oftentimes these broods are as fine
and promising as any brought out
earlier in the season, but there is small
hope of rearing them. If not too late
some may grow up, but they can never
be any profit. They soon become stunt
ed, and mature in a dwarfed condition.
By combining them in a warm, sunny
building, they may be comparatively
comfortable If well fed (and winter
chicks consume an enormous quantity,
but the nights are too severe. This
tells on the growth The better plan
is never to allow hen to sit late in the
season, and it may be avoided if strict
watch is kept. 1t is only neglect that
permits hens to sit in the fall.
If the farmer has no barn or other
cellar than the house cellar, it is bet
ter to pit potatoes, carrots, beets, &c,
where quantities are to be kept, as
they keep better than when stored in
the cellar. Pits are made in accord
ance with the quantity to be stored;
but it is better that the vegetables be
not over or q feet deep, in the pile,
and four to five feet wide. They may
be piled directly on the surface of the
ground or in excavations. The pits
may be of any length desired. The
piles of roots, when ready for covering
should resemble the roof of a house,
the sides having an incline Of so to
co.. Cover by directly throwing earth
on the root to the depth of SIX inches,
and when the weather becomes colder
increase the covering of earth to Is or
20 inches, which will give sufficient
protection, except in the EXTREMIST cold
weather, when there should be added
some strawy or long manure to the
bleakest side. In case large quantities
are pitted IN a single pit, provision
should be made for ventilation by in
sorting wisps of straw reaching from
the roots to the surface. Parsnips for
feeding do well pitted this way, but for
market are better if packed in sand, as
thus they preserve better color.

CAssEL's Natural history is response
BILE for the best of parrot stories. A
prize show of these snowy birds was
held Ia the north of England. After
many others had been brought forward
in front of the judges, one bird, on hav-

acclamation. Looking around on the
company into which it had been SO sud
denly introduced it exclaimed: "By
Jove! what lot OF parrots."

lMPERFECTUS.
By JAMES CLARENCE HARVEY.

wonder if ever a song was sung
But the singers heart sang sweeter
/ wonder if ever q rhyme was rung
But the thought surpassed the metre!
! wonder if ever sculptor wrought
Till the cold stone echoed his ardent thought!
Or if ever painter, with light and shade,
The dream of his Utmost heart portrayed!
l wonder if ever rose was found
And there might not be a fairer
Or if ever glittering gem was ground,
And we dreamed not of a rarer!
All never on earth shall we find the best
But It waits for us in the land of rest;
And n nerfect thing we shall never behold
Till we pass the portal of shining gold.

( District OF Ncw-Yoik These iormaliiics are
! worth noting because the Democratic Congress
might claim that technical defect in New
York, vote had d prvcd General Ggpdeld of
majority, and might attempt to throw the
election INTO the ii 'usc. The position would
be uuSound and the action vilanous; hut 1t
is not impossible though happily 10 longer
probable.
II must not I've forgotten that the smallest
bubbles have been made IN Congress. Among
the objections to the vote of South Carolina
in 1876 were these That the certificate OH the
envelope was not in proper form; that the
electors were not sworn that the certificate
did not estate" that the electors voted by
ballot, as the Constitution requires, etc. Let
there be no inaccuracy anywhere
Lastly, in every State before the Electoral
College is organized, the list should he care
fully scanned to make sure that no persons
holding Offices &" of trust and profit under the
United States" have been chosen. This matter
was thoroughly canvassed during the cam
pacn. but mistakes may have been made. In
1876 Republican votes in various States were
objected to on the ground that electors held
or had held, respectively. these Offices: United
States Shipping Commissioner, Postmaster,
Commissioner of the United States Court, Cen
tcnnia Commissioner, Pension Surgeon and
Examining Surgeon. Many of these objections
were cOntemptuously dismissed by the Senate
without party divisions, but they illustrate
Democratic in genuity. In all cases where GOV
eminent officers are found to have been
elected, vacancy should be erected, by
resignation absence, and filled. 1t was
Canned by the Democrats in several
cases in 1876 that the election of
an ineligible elect0r was failure to
elect. and did not leave vacancy winch the
other electors could till. The Electoral Com
mission decided, however, III the case OF
Watts, of Oregon, that although he was post
master at the time of his election, that fact
was rendered immatcra by his resignation,
q both ms postmaster and clector. and his sub
"sequcnt appointment, 10 till the vacancy so
"madc by the Electoral Coilege.n This plainly
lufls the intent Of the Constitution, which
meant, by the provision under discussion, 10
prevent direct influence by Government oil
cas upon the action of the Electoral Col
lcges. a resignation Of the Office before
the College meets certainly makes such in
hucnc- impossible.
Al admit ttat General Garfield is elected.
But let Us make sure that his title is without
flaw an where.
