The most monstrous story of miserli-

Podolia, where, in the town of Dunois,
an elderly man was found dead in gar
ret. He had perlshed with cold and
slow starvation with half q million of
roubles in gold in the room, hidden un-
der heap of rubbish, which also con-
cealed greater sum in securities. For
many years he had not been known to
have fire in his miserable lodgings, or
candle at night. To save few copecks
in the price he would journey to vii
lage several versts distant for bread,
which was his principal food.

The Skin.

THE skin is wonderful beyond concep-
ton in the multiplicity of its parts, and
in its diverse offices and relations. Mil
lions of nerves connect it with the brain.
Thousands of arteries bring to it nour-
ishment, and almost as many veins bear
away the waste. Millions of ducts empty
out the perspiration upon it. Innumer-
able glands anoint it with q lubricating
oil, and countless little scales are con-
stantly thrown from its surface. So
intimate and powerful is its connection
with the nervous centers, that one kind
of emotions instantly blanches it and
another kind mantles it with a burning
blush-the first contracting its vessels,
the other dilating them. The skin has
its peculiar diseases, but manv of its
ailments come from its readiness to help
other organs which are diseased or tor
pid, for it exceeds all others in this "vi-
carious power. The skin is double.
The outer epidermis - protects the
nerves and vessels of the inner from rude
contact with, and from the absorption
of, poisonous or harmful substances.
70 vaccinate, we have to break through
the epidermis. So, too, when this is
sound, it is safe TO handle morbid mat
ter; but to do so with the slightest
scratch or chafe is sometimes to incur
death in its most frightful form. Warmth
applied 10 the surface dilates the blood
vessels of the skin, and cold contracts
them. Hence, warm bath soothes and
refreshes, by drawing the blood to the
surface local lamentations over an in
famed spot will relieve the pain by
drawing away the blood. A counter
irritant acts on essentially the same
principle. Cold applied to the surface
for brief time contracts the vessels and
crowds the blood back, which then re-
turns with accumulated force, producing
healthful glow. If the vitality is low,
this reaction does not take place, and
the cold only harms. Generally only
the purest soap (castile) should be used
in washing the hands, as the alkali of
most soaps tends to destroy the epi-
dermis. No bathing of the whole body
should be protracted beyond few min
utes, else the good effect of it is lost,
even if serious harm is not done. Sea-
bathing is additionally beneficial from
the stimulating effect Of its salts

never TO accumulate money, but to benefit
humanity, especially It's feminine portion
Consequently, It was as willing to pay ninety
six per cent. per annum as half
quarter Of that rate. At least three
fourths Of the deposltors are asserted
TO live out Of Boston, and never
TO have drawn their interest when IL had
fallen due, which has materially helped the
"bank' TO pay Oh city creditors. Tue fact
has been revealed that large number OF Bos-
ton business men have, sngularly enough,
raised every dollar they could by selling Sc
curities, household furniture and personal
property in order to put it in the Deposit.
While they had no faith in It's management or
ultimate solvency, they were willing to incur
the risk, reasoning that, If the establishment
should 0nlyust one year, they would nearly
double their capital, and then draw out the

A RemarkabIe case.

THERE died on Tuesday last at Bnyview
Asylum one Of the most singular persons that
mas ever lived--a female with woman's head
and the body and arms of q child. Visitors to
BayYlew have noticed this singular case, and
it has attracted largely the attention of med
ical men. Her name was Kate Dashields She
was received in the old County Almshouse in
1852 with her mother. The latter died of the
cholera and the child has been cared for ever
since by the city. On the separation of coun-
~ and city and the erection of Bayview Asy-
lum for the city poor Kate was removed to
the latter place. During all the time she has
teen in the institution her head has grown

came the head Of woman, but below
the neck nature was at stand.stll.
She occupied to the day Of her death the
child's chair she occupied when three years
old, and slept in the same cradle. Her arms
and hands were beautiful, and she would show
them with great pride TO each visitor This
vanity was about the only womanly trait she
exhibited, and with the exception Of being
alive TO remarks complimentary to the white
ness and perfection Of her hands and arms,
she seemed 10 be inscnsible to all else passing
round her. This singular creature was sub
iect TO epilepsy, and this is what caused her
wonderful condition. She ate and slept well,
and seemed in her usual health up 10 fifteen
minutes before her death, when she was
seized with an epilcptic lit, from which she
never recovered. Katie was forty-elght years
Of age at the time of her death. Forty-hve Of
these she was cared for at the county Aims
Eouse and Bayview Asylum, and IL is perhaps
attributable TO the care and treatment she re-
ceived in those institutions that she had sur

Things as They Are.

AS we advance in life the ideal soon
hides behind the real. How few things
come up TO our expectations. Most girls
have an ideal husband in view-a kind
hearted, noble man with the figure
of an Apollo and the beauty Of an
AdOnis, WAC paws the same delicate at
tentions to his wife that he did before
their troth was plighted. The real hus-
band is brusque, matter-of-fact, unseu-
timental; he eats his meals at a down
town restaurant and only remembers
that he is married when he is obliged to
pay the household expenses. The ideal
housewife is a woman who keeps her
home in the most delightful order, who
cooks the most delicious dinners and
presides at the table with the grace of
a queen. The real housewife is wom-
an whose face is red and blazed with
cooking over a hot stove, whose voice
is sharp and earnest and who is given
to gossip. The ideal baby is a little
fellow with the daintiest tinted checks,
the curliest hair, the sweetest little
"coo" and with angels wings Just
sprouting from his shoulders. The read
baby is young wad of humanity. with
open valves, screaming all the time,
fuzz on his bald head like thistle-down,
and bears no resemblance to an angel.
And so it is with everything in life
things are seldom what they SEEM
