Hooks and Eyes for Russian Soldiers.

By an imperial order just issued con- siderable changes are to be introduced into the uniform of the Russian army. Buttons are to be rigidly suppressed, and their places supplied 5y hooks and eyes, and two breast pockets are to be worn in all cases for holding the re- serve cartridges on occasions when the troops are compelled, in going into &C., tion, to leave their knapsaeks behind. The officers uniforms are to be of sim liar make, with the difference that they are to be adjusted to the figure of the waist and that buttons be allowed for attaching their epaulets. In tho case of the dragons the familiar kepi and chako are to be replaced by an Astrakan sap ornamented in front with cockade and the imperial eagle. The imperial guard, on the other hand, will retain its present uniforms and caps. A writer in the La0alide R,sse explains that these and other minor notifications have for their chief object the simplifying of the work of supplying the army with cloth ing, the uniforms under the new sys- tenn being more easily adapted to the varying sizes. and figures of the men, London Daily Neus.

' upon some plan to crush the milkman and make him acknowledge the fraud he had been practicing for months, and at last an idea struck him. He hunted up his sons fshpo1e and started for the lake, and after some three hours of patient fishing on the government break water returned homo with half 8 dozen perch, that would average about four inches in length, and placed them in the aquarium. Then he told the hired girl to be sure and call him early enough in the morning so that he could go out and get the milk when the milkman came along. He said he wanted to see the milkman particularly, on business, and she said she would be sure and call him, and she did. About o'clock there was rush of wheels, the jangle of a bell and the milkman was at the door: then rushed to the aquarium. Only three of the fish were alive, the others having died during the night. MT. Furness seized the live ones, thrust them into the pitcher and rushed out. By holding the pitcher pretty high up the milkman was prevented from seeing what was in it, and he poured in the milk, all unconscious of the trap that was laid. MT. Furness then handed over the milk ticket and said it beat all what weather We were having. The milkman said he never saw such weather since the fall of AT, when there was period of seven weeks that the sun never shone.
 For goodness sake, my friend,' said MT. Furness, "what on earth is in this milk?"
 II don't know, I'm sure," said the milkman "let's see." And he bent over and looked into the pitcher.
 "Why, it's something alivel" ex- claimed MT. Furness.
 "Here," said the milkman, "let's pour it out" And he took the top off a milk can and held it while Mir Furness poured out the contents of the pitcher.
 "Fisb, by the Lord Harryl'' said the astonished milkman.
 "Well, should say fish p calculated MT. Furness, indignantly, and looking at the milkman in 8 searching manner. "What does it mean p
 "I'm blessed if I know" said the poor milkman, helplessly.
 "Wel, I'm sure I don't," said Mir. Furness.
 There was long pause, and then MT. Furness said:
 'sI want you to tell me candidly, now, just how much water you put in your milk, and whether you put in any thing else besides water"
 "Well, you see, sometimes l am little short. When have milk enough to go around to all my customers I don't put in any water; but when I have sale for-well say-a hundred quarts, and only have ninety or ninety five quarts of milk-well, I can't afford ts lose my customers, you know"
 "Are you short very often?' MT. Furness asked.
 "Well, no-not very often," and the man blushed and moved uneasily on the seat.
 "I see the subject is becoming pain full" said MT. Fnrness, stifly, "and I will not pursue it further. But don't you think that hereafter you can fur nish me with little purer article of milk, and we will let by-gones be by go es."
 s'Yes, sir; think can."
 They bade each other good-morning, and ever since then the milk furnished the Furness family has been almost pure cream.-Peck's Sun.

He had partially risen as if to speak, then grasped the desk with convul- sive otion, and would have fallen had not his neighbor, David Fisher, of Ohio, caught him in his arms. The representatives and those of us core srondents who had seats on the floor hastened to the spot, and there were cries of Stand back l" "Give him airl" Garry him to the win dowI'' Nearly all seemed panic st uck and confused, but Mir.

The fresh air, however, did not revive him, and by invitation of MT. Winthrop he was taken into the speakers loom, where bed was soon made on large, old-fashioned sofa. Five physicians, who were members of the House, held hurried consultation, and by their direction mustard poultices were ap- piled to his feet, producing, however, but little effect. Meanwhile Mrs. Adams, with some female friends and the family physician, had arrived. Cup | ping was then resorted to. and about an hour a ter he had fallen the dying patriot opened his eyes and said to Dr. Pey- ton: ''This is the last of earth, but am composed"

Educate the stomach. When it is once accustomed to simple food. vo- racious appetite, distress and disease will disappear.
 There are no two substances known that can furnish better sustenance to the body and brain than whole wheat, un1eavened bread acd cows milk.
 On matters of life pertaining to health, there is at present no coscience with the people, but there should be one, and you and ought to help create it. A five minutes nap is often better than hours sleep, because you do not wake up with that halfdead feeling l which some people complain of when we urge them to rest, and the sleepless- ness is gone.
 Whooping cough has been success fully treated by turpentin vapor. The theory was discovered by allowing 8 room freshly painted, when notice able improvement took place.
 Seven rules by which to get we'll and keep well:-1. Keep the head cool. 2. Keep the skin cool 3. Keep the feet warm and dry. 4. Keep bowels open. There is no such provokative cause to disease as constipation. 5. Rest regu- larly and profoundly. Empty the brain at night of all the days proceedings. Train the will to help to do this. G.. Be careful in the choice of associates. Do not be demagnatized or vampired by people. 7. Go to bed and get up at regular hours, thus cultivat- ing the habit of sleep.

His history closing as life seldom ends He had outlived all foes, till the world were his
 friends.
 Statesmen of all parties, including Henry Clay, called upon him, but he knew them not, as he lay with closed eyes, apparently inanimate. He lin gered until the afternoon of the 23l of February. His spirit quietly took it's flight, and Burling, Healey, Palfrey and others who stood at his bedside might have exclaimed, in the language of Beaumont:
 How sweetly Even death embraces thee The peace of
 Heaven,
 The fellowship of all great souls go with thee.
 A few days later the remains of MT. Adams were escorted to their last rest ing place at Quincy by large Congress sional committee, who were hospitably entertained at Boston after the funeral. The old speakers room in which he died is now the room of the House committee on banking and currency, and when MT. Sam Hooper was chair man of that committee he had bust of MT. Adams placed there, with slab beneath bearing an appropriate com memorative inscription, written by Charles Sumner. Perley Poore.
