The Russian Empire.

The Empire Of all the Russias before
the late conquests had an area Of 21 900
geographical miles square. A glance at
the map will satisfy us that the surface
Of the smaller half of this Empire Eu.
ropean Russia-is considerably larger
than that Of all the other States Of Europe
put together while the other half-Si.
IBERIA, with the rest of the Asiatic
provinces-is not far from covering one
third Of the Asiatic Continent. A recent
traveller, the Rev. Henry Lansdell, In
bis five months journey from London tc
the mouth Of the Amoor, all across the
Cars domains, went over 1900 milei
by rail, 5,700 miles by steam, and 3,0O(
by horses, or altogether II 900 miles al
most In straight line.

man recently found in forest near TITS
in Transcaucasia. That he was really
human admits of no doubt; but he spoke
no language; his body, limbs, and face
were entirely covered with hair, and an
attempt to clothe him entirely tailed; he
tore the garments from his body with
savage energy. his nationality was un-
known, and 1t is feared that all efforts TO
learn this will be unavaihng, as he ap-
peared incapable Of giving utterancs TO

A FIsH propagating company OF
California is experimenting with Q
frog farm. New Brunswick furnished
the material to start with, 100 frogs
being sent from there, packed in fresh
moss, in a box plentifully supplied
with perforations for the admission Of
air. The moss was frequently moist
ened ON the way. On the arrival OF
the box at its destination, only 112
frogs were found, and of these ten
we're dead. 1t is supposed that the
eighteen that were missing had been
eaten during the journey by their
companions in confinement.

THE School TEACHERS are NO,

THE School TEACHERS are now
enj ,ying themselves as Rehoboth.
Like most other people who labor for
their living they have formed an asso-
ciation.for their own benefit. 1t is
matter of economy to some Of the
teachers no doubt to be able to secure,
in this way, boarding at seaside re-
sort at lower rate. But there is also |
an inducement held out to others to
20 from home who feel that they
should not do 90 or If going should
seek other places more calculated to
benefit their health. This restraint,
which has been made the subject of
remark, will soon however, pass away
with the novelty of the sea bath, and
the teachers be found indulging their
own inclinations, and passing their
summer vacations where they please.
A few of the more influential and
ambitious among them will lose the
influence that has been exerted in
some degree to produce feeling of
independence, not calculated to stimu-
late increased study, diligence and
care for the public schools. In fact
there 10 too much disposition on the
part of teachers to encourage loss of
time through additional holidays, ex-
tending vacations, and curtailing
terms. Teachers labor fewer hours in
the day than any other class, and have
more days for recreation than former-
ly. In the cities there is no special
need for closing the schools on Satur-
days nor for giving two months vaca-
fion in the summer. In the two
months many children forget much
that they had been taught the previ-
GUS month. In former times Saturday
afternoon was as much as was thought
necessary, and then it was given
mainly to let the children assist the
family to prepare for the Sabbath.
Children are not benefited by SO
many holidays. There are fifty.two
Saturdays in the year and it cannot
be otherwise than that in the aggre-
gate an immense waste Of time il
thus caused, and that every child that
loses ffty-two days in the year il
which he might have received two o
three lessons each Of those days will
suffer from it. 1t will not do to sa,
that child cannot be taught as vel
on Saturday as any other day
nor need it be attempted to prove tt
intelligent men that an interval in The
studies from Friday afternoon unit
Monday is not too long. Many be-
lieve that the public interest woult
be greatly served by continuing tn
schools until noon on Saturday.

women OF the south.
st. Louis Republican.

The question is, not whether wo-
men in the south shall be made to
work, but whether they shall be
allowed TO work. There is no COM
pulsiOn about it. Southern women
are not adverse to labor any further
than the traditions and practices of
the past make them so. The be-
reavements and misfortunes of the
war have produced all over the
south shining examples of women
who, by their intelligence, industry
and enterprise, have rescued them
selves and their families from pow
erty and dependence, and become
conspicuous in quiet way in the
task of founding a pew economy for
their section; and when the false
old idea that women ought not to
be permitted to work for their liv-
ing shall be completely abandon ed,
the south, while producing race OF
women no less noble and Virtuous
than their mothers, will brighten
with the increased wealth and COM
fort produced by these women's
hands.

The Catholic Sentinel, speaking
OF the unfortunate and degrading
habit of profanity, says: "Protane
language, moreover, contribute no
elegance to our conversation, nor
does it render our dictiOn more
graceful and our logic more emphat-
ic. Although it is void of every
emphasis and evolutionary embel-
ishment, nevertheless we hear it
often employed by so-called schOl-
ars Dragging of their erudition, re-
finement and Establishments. TO
give the whole matter in nutshell,
we state that the wanton use of
curses and blasphemies betrays a
great want of eTudition and accom-
plishment it is most positively dis
gushing to all rejecting people, and
an open defiance of God, deriding
His Supreme majesty and holiness.
Such wicked conduct, being not on
ly standing reprOach to intelligent
beings, but direct insult to God,
cannot remain unpublished. 1t is
defying Gods infinite justice, cry
ing to heaven for vengeance. Let
the profaners bear in mind that
OOu NenS0dnCSf - SLOW Out SURF
To curse and blaspheme God IS a
shocking audacity. Where is the
servant that will dare curse his mas
ter upon whom depends his life i?
Yet man, in his thoughtlessness of
mind and depravity of heart, has
the base e1frontery TO blaspheme the
Master of masters-his Maker and
Judge. Man, in His very presence,
grossly insults Him on whom de-
ponds his existence and whatever
he possesses. God has forbidden
such use of His holy name, and
threatened the profaners thereof
with the severest chastisements af-
fecting soul and body. He has
spoken and his command will be
executed"

Poisoned by MISTAKE.
Knoxville Tribun,

We regret to learn of the continu-
ed illness and probable worse con-
dition of Mrs. Alex. Kennedy, who
was poisoned two weeks ago by a
mistake made by druggist. Two
weeks ago to-day she was feeling
a little unwell and DIR. M. NJ. Alex
ander was sent for who prescribed
Blaws mass, a gentle iron tonic.
The prescription was filled by a
druggist who took it for blue mass,
and filled it accordingly. He sent
her thirty pills which she unsUs-
pectingly took between Sunday and
Wednesday. The large amount of
mercury taken produced spasms
and blueness of completion and
which is exceedingly hard to eXtri-
cate from her system. Friday she
was doing better apparently, but
yesterday her condition was worse.
