A." Uneasy Rests the Head That Wears a
Crown"

A thorough investigation of every por-
ton of the Winter Palace, in st. Peters
burg, having at length been completed,
and the police authorities having salts
fed themselves that no danger of an
other attempt upon the Cars life within
the walls of his town residence is at pres
ent to be apprehended, he now resides
in the palace again, sleeping, however,
in different apartment every night.
The life actually led by the Russian En-
peror in his magnificent abode is pitiably
dismal. No nOurishment, either solid
or liquid, that has not been tasted in his
presence by some official parsonage ever
passes his lips. His bath is examined
every morning by the medical officers of
his household before he ventures to use
it, and he seldom approaches a stove or
a fireplace, lest some explosive material,
concealed among the fuel, should have
been secretly introduced into it. Before
he retires to rest, his bedroom and dress
ing room, as well as the apartments
contiguous to them on the upper and
lower floors, are submitted to a rigorous
inspection. His Majesty appears ex-
tremely nervous, takes no interest in
State business, and exhibits Indifference
to the military details which heretofore
constituted his favOrite occupation.

Rest for Headaches.

DR.. Day says in late lecture: "What-
ever be the plan of treatment decided
upon, rest is the first principle to incul-
cate in every severe headache. Rest,
which the busy man and anxious mother
can not obtain so long as they can man
age to keep about, is one of the first
remedies for every headache, and we
should never cease to enforce it. The
brain, when excited, as much needs quiet
and repose as fractured limb or an in
famed eye, and it is obvious that the
chances of shortening the seizure and
arresting the pain will depend on our
power to have this carried out effectu-
ally. 1t is practical lesson to keep
steadily in view that there may Turk
behind simple headache some lesion
of unknown magnitude which may re-
main stationary if quiet Jean be main
tanned.
"There is a point worth ATTENDING to
in the treatment of all heachaches. See
that the head is elevated at night, and
the pillow is hard; for if it be soft, the
head sinks into it and becomes hot,
which with some people is enough to
provoke an attack in the morning if
sleep has been long and heavy"

Sardines.

A foreign letter in the Boston Journal
tells the following concerning the pre-
paration of sardines: These little finny
creatures are caught in nets, and after
being well washed the heads are cut off
and the fish are sprinkled lightly with
fine salt. After laying for few hours
they are placed on grids in rows almost
perpendicular. The frames are then
placed in pans containing boiling olive
oil. This oil is changed as often as it
becomes too black and dirty for contin-
uing the cooking process. As soon as
the fish are considered sufficiently
cooked they are withdrawn from the
pans of oil, and the grids are placed on
tables covered with zinc, the surface OF
the table inclining towards a groove in
the center. The oil is thus carried to a
vessel prepared to receive it. Around
these tables stand the women whose
business it is to pack the fish closely
and uniformly in boxes. The boxes
being full, the fish are covered with
fresh oil, and the lids of the boxes are
then soldered down. Thus hermeti-
cally sealed thay are placed in wire
basket and immersed in boiling water.
The smaller boxes are thus boiled for
about an hour, and the larger ones
somewhat longer, in proportion 10 the
size of the box. The fish are then
ready for the market, and being packed
in cases, are sent to the ends of the

athletic, agile, and generally are desper-
ate characters. Most of them are good
looking, and they aim to get information
of the habits Of the families they mark
for robbery by forming acquaintance
with the nurses and servant girls, either
at the area gates or in the parks, when
the girls are sent out with the children.
Troy Dennis was one of the boldest of
this class. and came to his death while
practicing his nefarious work. de had
lust robbed one house in Madison ave
nue., and was climbing up to the second
story window of another when the Ill
secured coping over the door fell with
him, and in some way, as he and the
stone came down together, his head was
undermost, and was crushed. He lived
only until he was carried to Bellevue
Hospital. That famous robbery OF Moore,
the gun-maker. of $500, 600, was perpe-
trated in that way by Troy Dennis and
Q. Carr. Carr committed suicide by
taking poison on Sound steamer.
q" What is the most dangerous GRIM
inal?'
/" That depends on how you mean
dangerous. If you mean dangerous to
those who attempt to interfere with him
or who seek to arrest him, your third or
fourth-class burglar; the Ignorant brute
who relies only on force, and has NOR
bid dread Of arrest, is the werst. But If
YOU mean dangerous to the community
at large, by reason of his greater capaci-
ty for crime and ingenuity in evadlng
punishment forit, by all odds your sober
criminal. to whatever class he may be-
long, is the worst. You Will find at the
top of every class of criminals few who
drink nothing stronger than settler wa
ter, if they even 90 as strong as that, and
they are the terrors. There was William
GRAY, the bond forger, who was brought
back here from Europe by Captain Kealy
wear ago last July. His father was for
years Chaplain of the United States Sen
ate. He was well educated, had the
most charming manners and apparently
correct life, and never drank even a sip
of wine. That was how he came to be
at the head of the most expert band OF
forgers in the land. The forgers, Rob
erts and Gleason, were also strictly tenn
perate men. The really first-class burg
lars, those who confine their operations
to banks and other great affairs, and the
bond forgers and counterfeiters, will not
trust man who gets drunk" ...

Artificial Diamonds.

Prof. Maskelyne now admits that dia-
monds can be artifcially produced. Mr..
Mactear's results he considered failures,
but of the specimens sent to him by MIR.
Hannay he says: sin luster, in GER
tain lamellar structure on the surfaces
of cleavage, in retroactive power, they
accord so closely with that mineral that
it seemed hardly rash to proclaim them,
even at first sight, to be diamond. And
they satisfy the characteristic tests OF
that substance. Like the diamond, they
are nearly inert in polarized light; and
their hardness is such that they easily
scored deep grooves in a polished sur
face of sapphire, which the diamond
alone can do. There is no
doubt whatever that Mr.. Hannay has
succeeded in solving this problem, and
removing from the science of Chemistry
an opprobrium so long adhering to it ;
for, whereas the larger part of the great
volume recording the triumphs of that
science is occupied by the chemistry OF
Carbon, this element has never been
crystallized by man till Mr.. Hannay
achieved the triumph which have the
pleasure of recording to-day"

Our correspondent, who boards next
door to the Gar, says: The other night,
about three a. NJ, the Gar awoke very
hungry, and, after feeling around for
his slippers, went softly down stairs into
the cellar to forage for a quiet snack.
After barking the Imperial shins once
or twice, he reached the refrigerator
and lifted the lid. AS he did so,the pal
ace Henry cat, which had been by some
mischance shut up in the said chest, flew
up in his face with frightful yawp and
splitter. With frantic shrek the ter
rified Gar dashed upstairs again, and,
plunging into bed, drew the cover up
overh head. "What on earth's the
matter, Aleck?' inquired the astonished
Mrs. Gar, waking up. " Matter
enough" groaned the prosecuted mon
arch. "I'll be eternally Hinged if they
haven't got to putting torpedoes in the
cold ham!'

Fashions and Fancies in Wall Decoration.

The tendency in colors is gradually to
leave the olive tints and shades and to
tend toward the light, warm browns that
are styled coral in England, but which
are unlike any corals except those wide,
branching kinds called sea-fans. This
color is seen at its best in the English
flock papers, which, in spite of all innO-
vations. are almost as much used now as
they were a score of years ago. The
patterns are more elegant than those
formerly employed, being vines or sprays
of leaves so closely interviewer as almost
to cover the ground, but producing an
effect that is much richer than that of
plain color. These papers are pro-
duced in every conceivable tint, so that
it is possible to match them to any dec
Grafton or furniture. BrOcade and cash
mere and tapestry papers are shown in
great variety, and are remarkable for
the skill with which the pattern is
brought out, so that it is visible from
any point, instead of only being appa-
rent to person who stands i'll exactly
the right place, as are many OF the de-
signs in which the figure is outlined in
gilt. The grounds are in gold chemi-
cally treated so as TO present a great
many different tints; in silver made to
assume a very delicate green, and in fine
salmon pink that looks ike satin. The
figures are vines in dark shades con-
trasting tremendously with the ground,
and in looking at them it is hard to be-
lieve that each leaf is not separately
tinted bv hand instead of being the re-
suit of many successive printings. 1t
must be understood that on these papers
no machine work is possible. Those
who have examined a piece of fine bor-
dering or a roll of paper may have no.
ticed that along the uncolored edges
there are small dashes of color apparent
" without meaning, and destined to be
cut off or hidden. These dasheS are the
registers that mark the limits of the
blocks used in printing on the prepared
ground. and as twenty impressions are
sometimes needed to produce a pattern,
some rolls of paper have to be handled
and dried scores of times before they are
finished. The gilt and silver grounds
are allowed to season a year before they
are printed, and this delay and the
great quantity of work involved in the
printing are the reasons why the bro
cade and the satin papers are so eXpen-

A manuscript supposed to have been
written by St. Peter has lately been dis
covered among the property of man
named Bore, who died last year at Jeru-
salem, at the age of one hundred and
nine. The style of the work has led TO
the conclusion that it is authentic, and it
is stated that the London Bible Society,
which has dispatched a committee to the
spot. has offered Bore's heirs the sum OF
SlOO. 900 for its possession. The heirs,
however. refuse to part with the manu-
script, though it seems probable that
they will allow the society to reproduce
and translate it. (The London Bible So
ciety denies the above statement so far
as il is concerned.)

"Reports received from the cotton
region Of the Southern states
state that there has been rain enough
to keep cotton generally in fine
growing condition but considera-
bic damara has been done in some

many sections rust Is worse than the

crop throughout the states is good,
and tits not believed that the damage
by rust and worms will srially
affect the yield which, 1t is estl-
