The Russian Hanouan.

The Russian hangman is q convict
who was sentenced to death for robbery
and murder, but the penalty was com
muted to Imprisonment for life upon
the condition that he should perform
the duties of executioner whenever
called upon. He has been confined in
Moscow during the past fifteen years,
and is sent from there, under a strong
guard, to Kietf, Odessa and st. Peters
burg, as his services may be required in
one or the other of those cities. A visit
to this man is described by Victor
TissOt, French author, in a work on
Russia and the Russians, recently pub
llshed IN Paris. He found the execu-
toner reposing after the exertion of
hanging the two Nihilists, Pressniakof'
and Kiyiatkowski. A young woman of
attractive appearance. with child in
her arms, was with him. She was his
wife. The comforts of matrimony had
not been denied him, and he seems to
have had no difficulty, notwithstanding
his condition and work, in finding q
woman to marry him The hangman's
face is described as stolid, rather than
terrible or repulsive. He has abnor-
mally long arms, and is said to be pos
sessed of herculean strength He was
spoken of as having the strength of
twenty men," One day there was a re-
volt In the prison, and he was sum-
moned to help subdue the prisoners.

RepOrtOrial Enterprise.

A story OF a reporter who, in order to
have an account of an execution in the
afternoon paper which employed him,
asked the Sheriff to hang the condemn ed
man an hour earlier than the time set,
has been going the rounds lately in one
form and another. The Dramatic
Times vouches for the truth of the Incl
dent, and gives what he declares to be
the true version. The reporter was
Mr.. Kenward Philip, then engaged on
the Brooklyn Eagle. He was sent to
edo" the hanging of man at Plain
field, n. j., and found the execution
was not to take place until midday, which
would not let him back to Brooklyn in
time to do it justice. He went to the
Sheriff and told him that the failure to
hang the man at 10, as announced,
would knock him out of Sc at least, and
asked him to put the ceremony at II, so
that he could get the 11:3O train back.
To Mr.. Philips surprise the Sheriff was
very indignant, but finally promised
that, if Philip could persuade the con-
demned man to be hanged an hour
sooner, he would only be too glad to
get the disagreeable job off his hands.
Mr.. Philip went to the murderer's cell and
told him plainly what he came for.
They had drink together. The un-
fortunate found Philip very agreeable
companion, and said that, so far as he
was concerned, it didn't matter much
whether he was hanged an hour sooner
Or later. Philip then wrote a letter to
the Sheriff embodying the request, the
condemned man signed it, ana he was
hanged at IL. It was subsequently, as
certained, however, that the condemned
man could not read writing, and the
painful doubt was expressed whether he
knew what he was signing. But Philip
caught his train.

Icebergs Viewed EsthetIcaIIy.

It is pity that the iceberg should be
so highly dangerous, for nothing That
floats upon the deep is more impressive
and picturesque. Such beautiful objects
ought to be fixtures, that they might be
sighted and their grandeur enjoyed
without more risk than lovely stretch
of coast or green and cleaning South
sea island offers. Yet, if the truth must
be told, something of the composite
emotion which the spectacle of an Ice
berg excites is due to the element of
fear which the spectacle conveys along
with IT'S majesty and beauty. Figure
sea shrouded in driving mist and rain
and feather particles of snow the bill
! lows leap out OF the thickness as though
/ born OF the void from which they curl,
combing over in green trans
parent arches and breaking into
! dazzling spaces Of foam the decks are
dark with wet, and the ship has gray
and frozen look as she sweeps over the
Kissing and soaring and trampling
surges toward that whirling fog-curtain
which ever recedes before her while it
closes upon her astern. Suddenly a
loud voice rings out Of the pallid vague
ness of the forecastle; and even as the
helm Is shifted there shapes itself with
terrible abruptness out of the obscurity
ahead huge olltline-an object like an
island, fantastically covered with nina
rets, steeples, towers, looming bastions
and cathedral-like forms, which vanish
in the rushing folds Of the pale, rain
swept sea- mist. The thunder of the
sea shifting its base and boiling
up III heights of sparkling smoke
awakens thousand sullen echoes in the
crystal caverns, in the gloom of the pre-
cipices, and amid the marble-like hills
and heights OF the enormous berg. AS
the voyager sweeps past he hears the
cracking and rending Of ice, he marks
the briiliancy Of snow upon the jutting
points which open out upon the sight
with startling suddenness, amid flaws in
the pouring and eddying mist. and he
feels the stinging breath of the frozen
mass on his cheek as the gale blows past
it down upon him. As the ship runs
roaring by the thunder laden apparition,
large Jumps of ice shower upon her, and
over the rail, the green fragments may
be seen colored to the very complexion
of the deep, half leaping out of the swirl
OF foam alongside and vanishing aStern
amid the swoop of the rushing waters.
What pen can describe the desolation of
a berg so beheld, looming up, as it were.
out OF space, filling the eye for moment
with its mighty, lonely and wildly grand
conformation, and then disappearing as
though its solid and substantial proper
tons were as visionary as the fabric of
the vaDOr that has inclosed il? No hint
of life is seen upon it. No sea-bird
screams around it's nodding summit. It
is a drifting phantom from world of
phantoms, to melt presently and vanish
utterly yet, while it stands, eloquent
with hints of the white and silent realm
from which is has foated-a majestic
ocean-idyl "writ large" and rich with
solemn poetry set to the music of the
organ-ron of the deep. = London

Sick Children.

1t is better to take your child to the
doctor unnecessarily than to postpone
this duty and find that il is too late. A
few hours in the diseases of children
may make all the difference between
hopeful and hopeless cases.
When you take counsel of a doctor
give him your implicit confidence. Do
not permit any friend-even though the
friend be an experienced cd mother and
nurse-to disturb confidence in the doc
tor. Follow no advice that is against
what he has said. IF you lose confidence
IN him get another physician.
When child is old enough to know
what you mean, never threaten it with
The doctor. It may be very important
some day that your child should not be
frightened at the doctor, but regard him
rs friend and helper.
A sick child demands a nursing moth
Or, who has tact, patience, firmness add
ed to her affection. With these so much
can be done; without them the battle
nay be hopeless from the first.
1t is asserted that every year 5000
children die in New York who need not
die If proper care were taken of them.
High heated terms have much to do
with these deaths. Every hour that a
young child is exposed to temperature
above SIS or IS degrees, in crowded
neighborhood, it is robbed of vitality.
High heat acts injuriously on its blood
nerve and muscle cells, and also on the
digestive system of the child and the
milk of nursing mother. High heat
does more-it decomposes all organic
refuse and dirt in houses and about
them, and poisons air, water, food,
clothing, bedding, carpets, etc. Hence
the need of excursions for children and
Of cleanliness at home.

What Makes a House Beautiful.

1t is an excellent thing to have we'll
kept house and beautifully appointed
table, but after all the best cheer of
every home must come from the heart
and manner of the home mother. II
that is cold and this ungracious, all the
wealth of India cannot make the home
pleasant and inviting. Intelligence, too,
must lend its charm, if we would have
home and Eden. The severe style of
house order neatness seldom leaves much
margin for intellectual culture. Even
general reading is considered out of the
question for a woman so hurried and so
worried with her scrubbing and polish
ing and making up garments. A simpler
style of living and house furnishing
would set many bonded slave at liberty
and add vastly to the comfort of all in
the house.
Hospitality rarely prevails in those
spotless line-and. .lettered houses. Com
pany disarrange the books and disorder
the house, which had work enough in it
before. The mother cannot throw off
her household cares and sit down for a
real heart to-heart converse with the old
friend of her childhood. Still less can
she entor into the JOYS and pleasures
right and deIich iul 81 her Own children,
because OF the extra work OF clearing
away it will be likely to make.
With all your tolls to make house
beautiful, do not neglect the first ele-
ment OF ALTO beautify yourself, body
and soul. A sweet, loving word and a
warm clasp of the hand are far more to a
guest than the most elaborately en-
l.. Of n
or the most exquisite damask OF your
table. There are bare cabin homes that
have been remembered with pleasure
because of the beautiful loving presen ce
there, and there are stately palaces
which leave the impression of an iceberg
on the mind.-Boptist Weekly.

TIE Beef SuDnIy.

Notwithstanding the enormous ad-
vance made IN cattle raising during the
past twenty years OF so, the increased
supply, even in favorable seasons, has
not been at all commensurate with the
increase in the demand for beef. The
ratio of increase in cattle is less than
that in population, SO that even with no
change in dietetic habits the demand
for beef would tend steadily to outrun
the supply. But our appetite for beef
increases much more rapidly than our
numbers. The marketman makes his
daily rounds with fresh beef in hun
dreds of communities where salt pork
was eaten almost exclusively twenty
five years ago; and generally through
out the country beef has largely dis.
placed pork on the tables of farmers,
mechanics and we'll to-do people. This
partly because Of the universal improve
ment in the scale of popular living due
to general prosperity, but more, per-
haps, to the influence of an active school
of would-be health reformers who have
persistently decried pork as an article
of food and created a widespread and
unreasonable prejudice against it.
Leaving out OF consideration any pOSsl-
BILE increase in the demand for beef for
expectation, we may reasonably antici-
pate that the home demand for beef will
continue to increase as fast, if not faster,
than the population does and there can
be no marked decline from the present
excessive prices until the supply of beef
cattle is brought up to the level of the
popular reO;lirementS IT iS not the
prime cost OF beef cattle in the field. or
their necessary cost at the shambles
after being driven or carried half across

the price of the meat to the consumer,

relatively SO meager that cattle raisers

A River of Hot Water.

The great Sutro tunnel, cut to relieve
the celebrated Comstock mines at Vir-
ginia City, New. of the vast quantities
of hot water encountered in them.
affords an outlet to 100000 tons
every twenty-four hours. Some of the
water, as it finds its way into the mines,
has a temperature Of 1875 degrees, while
four miles from the mouth of the tunnel
the temperature ranges from 1870 degrees
to 135 degrees. To obviate the incon-
venience which would arise from the
vapor such vast quantity of water
would give off, the flow is conducted
through the entire tunnel, four miles, in
a tight fume made of pine. At the
point of exit the water has lost but
seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below
the mouth of the tunnel the hot water is
utilized for turning machinery belong
ing to the company, from whence it is
carried off by tunnel LOO feet in
length, which serves as a waterway.
Leaving the wasteway tunnel, the water
flows to the Carson river, d mile and a
half distant. This hot water is being
utilized for many purposes. The boys
have arranged several pools where they
indulge In hot baths. The miners and
others use it for laundry purposes, and
arrangements are being made whereby
l ZOO acres belonging to the company
are being irrigated. It is proposed to
conduct the hot water through iron
pipes, beneath the surface of the soil,
near the roots of thousands of fruit trees
which are to be planted, and in a SINH
lar manner give the necessary warmth
to number of hothouses to be used for
the propagation of early fruits and veg

The House Ffv.

The most persistent companion Of
man is or APPS the house fly. 1t has
followed I'm everywhere in his own con-
veyances, and is found, so far as we
know, wherever civilized man has estab-
lished himself. Cur American house fly
was described as a distinct species
(Natsc0 harpyio) by Barris, but Pack
ard found it. after critical comparison,
specifically iden titiei with the Linn@an
species. Already, with the growing
warmth, the fly begins to show its fanlil-
lar form III our houses, and to inspire
the careful housekeeper with feelings
anything but agreeable. Whence comes
it? How has il passed the winter? Such
questions are often asked. Let us an
ewer them. Not all who have watched
the fly poising OF darting noiselessly
and gracefully in mid air or making his
toilet, have realized that at on time it
was a crawling maggot, as unlike it's
perfect SELF as two things well can be.
The eggs are about four huudredths of
an inch long, one-fourth as wide, dull
white in color, and pitted with elongate,
heXagOnal depressions-mere whitish
specks to the unaided eye, laid in little
agglutinated piles in warm manure or
III decomposing vegetation, especially
that about our tables and barn-yards.
From eighty to hundred are laid at q
time, and probably at three to four diff
ferent intervals by the samefiy, although
on this point we have no exact date.
Within twentyfour hours in summer
they hatch into footless maggots which,
after rioting in filth till their tender
skins seem ready to burst from reple-
ton, become full fed in less than week
and, descending into the earth or shell
tering under some old board, contract to
brown, shining objects, rounded at both
ends, and technically known as puparia.
Within the darkness eff this hardened
skin profound changes rapidly take
place, and the insect passes through the
pupa to the perfect state, and finally, in
about five days, the anterior end OF the
puparium is pushed off, and the fly
quickly crawls out. At first its parts
are pale and soft, and its wings are
crumpled and useless, but these soon
expand, and suddenly, without practice
or teaching, the newly -fedged Fl y wings
its way to your table to mock your dis
pleasure, to share your repast. The
length of time required from Matching to
maturity varies with the season and
temperature. but will not exceed ten
days in midsummer, while the life of the
perfect fly lasts about three weeks at the
same season. AS cold weather approach
es propagation ceases, and the older flies
perish. A few Of the more vigorous fe-
males, however, retreat to some nook or
Granny where, in a state of torpor, they
survive till the ensuing season--links
'twlxu the summer gone by and to come.
The insect may also hibernate in the
pupa state in the ground, as I have
found the puparia quite late in the fall.
In rooms kept continuously warm, or in
more southern latitudes, the fly remains
active all winter, and our palace sleep
ing cars bring them daily to 1ts from
Florida during the coolest months ofthe
year.-C 7. Riley.
