A Warranted Rubber Root.

, The "Candee" Rubber Co., Of New Haven,
Ct. is making new rubber boot which is just
what outdoor men have long been looking for,
viz, one that is warranted. These boots are
called the "95" Per Cont, Sterling Rubber Boot.
They warrant them three months, and il your
boot cracks or gives way in that time, you can
secure new pair free of charge, provided the
boots have had fair usage
That there may be no question about the three
months, when you buy the @95" Boots, the store
keeper punches the date in the top of the leg,
in spaces provided for that purpose, and the
warrant begins from that date and cannot be
disputed. These @95" Per Cent Boots are as
pure as can be made. and will last six months,
hard wear. The exposed portions are doubled,
and the soles are half an inch thick, of solid
rubber, and will outwear three pairs of any
other rubber boots. illustrated catalogues
with full particulars are supplied by the Scan
dee" company on application, or the boots can
be seen in most stores

Learning the Ballet.

To learn how to dance on the stage
requires considerable time. A girl is
first taught to turn her feet out by
standing with the toe of eacn foot to
the heel Of the other. The next thing
is to give her "a point" This is done
by seating her on form with one leg
strapped to it at the knee-joint, while a
person presses the toe down SO as to
arch the instep. Then she is told to
hold on to bar and to throw each leg
as high as possible without bending the
knee. This exercise loosens the joints
and renders them supple. After daily
and sometimes years, the girl is taught
steps and learns 10 walk upon her toes.
This, which, when well done, always
ELECTS applause, is by no means SO diff
cult as it appears. In reality, the dancer
walks on her big toes, and the others do
not touch the ground. The big toe is
bent slightly toward the others, so that
the pressure is as much on the side as
on the end. But it is far more difficult
to use the arms gracefully than the legs
on the stage. In order to find this out,
a person has only to take a stick and
wave it after the manner of stage
fairy. There must be no angles, and
the curves and movements must be
made very slowly in order to be effect
i've. Miss Kate Vaughan is the most
graceful dancer on the English stage.
This Is because she knows how to
hinder her body from following the
movement of her arms or her legs.
Whatever steps she may be taking with
her feet, or whatever curves she may
make with her arms, her body is in re-
pose, as though her limbs we're uncon-
nected with it. To realize the effect of
graceful movement, let any one observe
the movements of bad dancer on the
stage. Instead of only dancing from
her waist, her body is twisted this way
and that with every step she takes, and
thus she produces the impression of a
young beifer indulging in gambols.--

An Indians Horrible Crime.

The first execution in the Canadian
territories took place not long ago at
Fort Saskatchewan, the victim being
Swift Runner, Cree Indian, who was
guilty of murder and and cannibalism.
The monster killed his mother, wife,
and seven children, and subsisted for
weeks on their carcasses. On being
charged with the crime he pleaded
guilty and offered to conduct the police
to the remains. He had camped in a
hole or cave at the base of the mount
aims, and the bones of his victims lay
scattered about the floor. They had been
boiled. Hooking his finger in the eye
of one of the skulls, he picked
it up, and said in the most nonchalant
manner, This is my mother" and so on
with the other skulls, nine in all. He
said whisky had demoralized him, and
made him feel like wolf. He killed
them all one night while they were
asleep, and buried the bodies in the
snow, cutting them up and boiling them
as he needed them. He was forthwith
sentenced to death, and his request
to be shot instead of hanged was re-
fused.
The Indians throughout the district
were invited to give their views on the
case, and they unanimously approved
of the sentence. Swift Runner was
asked il ne would like to see "black.

st. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg is q city of gourmets
The long nights in winter, and the ex-
cessive cold and discomfort out of
doors, drive the inhabitants to indoor
pleasures. They consequently pay
great attention to the cuisine, and the
cooks become cordon-bIeus. The best
cuisine is, of course, the French, and
there are French chefs in many OF the
houses, but the Russians have a number
of national dishes they are fond of, es-
pecially soups-cabbage soup eaten
with sour cream, cucumber soup, ard a
cold, sour soup, which they swear by,
but which is not very agreeable to a
foreign palate. The root vegetables,
turnips, beets, ETC., are remarkably
good; SO are watermeions and
cucumbers, while game, snipe, wood
cock, cartridges, white partridges,
hazel grouse, black cock, coqs
du bois, and hare are all abundant In
their season and good. In the way of
fish, the salmon is excellent, and they
have trout, pot-fsh, perch, grayling
sequis, somewhat like striped bass,
and the famous sterlet, which do not
think deserves it reputation. Its roe
makes the best caviare. The regular
Russian restaurant is not to be seen in
st. Petersburg. There is one in Mos
COW, they call the Hermitage, which is
thoroughly Russian. A feature of these
restaurants is an immense mechanical
organ, which griIds ont lively airs dur
ing dinner One can hardly talk. The
correct thing to do is to take, before
dinner, "zacouska," which being in
terpreted means preliminary lunch, a
small glass OF iQueatr, generally
"wodki," with salt fish or cavi-
are, or little cheese. This
is supposed to whet, dulled ap-
petite. Besides the pleasures of tire
table, the Russians rely greatly upon
cards to pass the long winter evenings.
|, They play a great deal and play high.
Whist, with some notifications in the
counting; baccarat, and a game they call
GUINEA" something like Boston" are
their principal games. Our great national
game OF poker is not unknown among
them, but its attractions are Just begin
ming to be appreciated. Cards are
monopoly in Russia, and their importa-
ton is strictly prohibited. The profits
on their sale go to the support of the
Foundlings' Hospital, aud it is magnifi-
Gently supported. Any infant can be
brought there, and no questions are

the child, and no payment is necessary.

A Medicine Should not BIO Gauged

BY the suddenness and violence Of its effects.
Self-evident as this proposition would seem,
there arc many foolish persons who are content
only with a remedy which acts abruptly. The
pill and other nostrum-venders who trade upon
tho credulity of this class find their "best holt,
as poor Artemus Ward termed it, in the sale of
violent purgatives SO long as they wrench
the bowels OF their dupes sufficiently, they are
pretty sure of a certain measure of success.
IL, instead of such pernicious rubbish, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters Is used, the results are
widely different. The bowels are relic red, but
always gently, by this pleasant laxative, which
does not weaken, but invigorsles them, and
endows the cooperative organs of digestion
and bilious secretion with activity and regular
ity, strengthens the constitution and physique,

Man and Miracles.

Without creation man has enormous
power over nature. He can, and daily
does, overpower her laws, or seemingly
make them work as he pleases. De-
spite the law of gravity, he ascends to
the sky in a balloon; he makes water
spring up in fountains; he makes YES
sells, weighing thousands of tons, float
on the seas. Despite cohesion. he grinds
rocks to powder; despite chemical
affinity, he transmutes into myriads of
different forms the few elements of
which all matter consists: despite the
resistless power of the thur derbolt, he
tames electricity to be his servant or
his harmless toy. With water and fire
he molds into shape mighty masses of
metal; he shoots, at sustained speed
beyond that of birds, across valleys
ard through mountain ranges; he
unites seas which continents had sepa-
rated; there is nothing in the whole
earth which he has not subdued, or
does not hope to subdue, to his use.
THERE'S hardly a physical miracle which
he does not feel he can, or may yet,
perform. But all this wonderful, this
pounuIess, power over material laws is
gained by these laws. He alters no
property of matter, but he uses one
property or another as he needs, and he
uses one property to overcome another.
1t is by knowing that gravity is more
powerful in the case OF air than in the
case of hydrogen gas that he makes
air sustain him as he floats, be-
meath a bag of hydrogen, above
the earth. 1t is by knowing that it is
more powerful in water than in air that
he sails in iron ships; it is by knowing
chemical affinity or repulsion that he
makes the compounds or extracts the
simple elements he desires; it is by
knowing that affinity is force, and that
force is transmutable into electricity,
that he makes messenger of the ODE
dent lghtning-shock; it is by knowing
that heat, itself unknown, causes gases
to expand that he makes machines of
senseless iron do the work of intelh-
gent giants. He subdues nature by
understanding nature. He creates no
he, therefore, performs no
though he does marvels.-J.

ton by means of fixed stations IN the
Polar regions. These stations are in
the summer months to be supplied for
the long winter siege. The main
tenance of the two northernmost points
have been assigned to the United States
Government. The purpose is not, as
Capt. Howgate explains, simply to dis
cover the North pole, but to make reg
ular and systematic observations for a
period of years.
The proposed location, where it is
practicable for steamer to keep ccm-
munlcation open with the civilized
world, is Lady Franklin bay, about $50
miles from the pole. A fine aud easily
accessible deposit of coal exists at this
point, about mile from the shore of
small bay, and distant four miles from
the winter quarters of the Discovery.
Here it is proposed to erect buildings
and store provisions. The occupants
of this station would not be exposed to
greater hardships than are usually en-
countered In the Polar regions, and
the horrors of the long Arctic nights
will In great part disappear before the
kindly influence of improved appliances
for comfort and amusement now avail

fresh-water lake; and much game was
killed there. indicative of vegetable
life, also, during an eptionally- cold
winter. "In ordinary seasons it is
not expected that there will be any
serious difficulty in reaching the sta
ton by the aid of steam vessel es-
pecially fitted for the work, and the
vessel can annually carry out fresh
provisions, clothing, books, implements,
and, if need be, fresh details of men to
replace those who may wish to be re-
heved. The work of observation
and survey will furnish constant
AMI useful employment for the men.
This will render them less liable
to attacks of inconsistencies after the !
first feeling of isolation has worn off |
and they become accustomed to the
surroundings and duties With sledges,
dogs, boats, and captive balloons, they
will be ready to avail themselves of /
any opportunity to push their way
north"
The scope of their observations will
include the determination of the figure
of the earth by means of pendulum ex-
periments, the magnetism of the globe,
the ocean tides and currents, polar
winds, and all geographical, geological,
and botanical facts that
are to be obtained. The practical re-
suits he predicts will be wider knowl-
edge of air currents and atmosphere;
better data for predicting storms; and
some success, may be, in discovering
and, if possible, anticipating and pro-
viding against, the cause of those ex-
tremes of temperature which sweep
over the northern regions Of the globe,
and especially the continent east Of the
Rocky mountains.-DetroH Free Press.

gives 1873 tons of carbonate of lime and
magnesia, and LOTT tons of sulphate of

Mississippi, and the estimate is given
at six times the amount of the soluble
matter. This produces over the whole
globe an amount of denudable matter
equal to 600 tons square mile per
year. Going back in all time at this
rate, and allowing for coast erosion,
