Education of Poor Girls in Russia.

The most important step recently
taken in Russian education is the insti-
tuition of a special school for the in
struction of the daughters of the poorer
class OF Russians. AIiddle-class educa-
ton is already well provided for by
private institutions and the public
gymnasia. For the elementary educa-
ton of women. however, the existing
arrangements are by no means perfect
j he fewness of the elementary schools.
uniting. SO to speak, the primary and
middle educational establishments has
state of society to resort with their chill
dren to the gvmnasia: whereas, in the
greater number Of cases the pupils thus
placed find themselves not only without
the requisite capacity for the pro-
gramme peculiar to these middle-class
i'll stitutions, but also hindered by
poverty from completing a successful
course of study. As matter of fact,
very few OF these young persons ever
pass the examinations prescribed. They
often leave the gymnasa without know
ing Russia correctly or being able to
work an arithmetical sum without error.
To supply the want caused by this state
of things, a new school of a special type
for girls from nine to eleven years old
has been founded, under the patronage
of the Empress. The course of study.
will include religion. the Russian
language, elements of natural history,
caligraphy, drawing, singing, music
and needlework, and the term of study
will extend over a period of four years.

Cold Feet.

The more direct cause of the GOODNESS
of the feet may be the absence of good
circulation of the blood. the warm
blood from the heart falling to
reach the extemities. This is often
aggravated by tight bands. small
booths and the like. Interfering with
this circulation. 1t is often true. also,
that the blood is Withdrawn from the
feet by active brain labor, demanding
fine unasua al supply for the brain. It
may be that some have too little physical
exercise to favor good circulation.
That is good rule. Ito keep the head
cool by temperance in all things, the
feet warm Iy exercise, and the con-
science VOID of oflense toward God and
man.
The warmth of the feet may be pro-
noted by the removal OF these obstruc-
tions to the circulation, by due exer-
else, in most cases. In difficult cases,
it is well to soak the feet at night in
warm water. removing them and dash
inc on little cold water-to quicken
the circulation-which is to be followed
by thorough rui bing with crash,
securing glow of heat. The daily use
of the fesh-brush, in he winter, is a
good substitute for the daily bath,
adopted by the Clearly. Golden RnIs4

1t is learned at the Bureau of Sta.

tobacco into this country has increased
from thirty Eight pounds in 1880 to 1885,
763 pounds in 1882. The tobacco-raising
citizens of Connecticut are very much

Carrying Currency.

Very few people know the inside his
tory of Bristow's fight with the express
companies when he was Secretary of the
Treasury. The express companies made
| what Mr.. Brlstow thought, were exor bi
tant charges for. carrying currency to
the great distributing point of the New
York Sub-Treasury. He told the com.
panies that a lower rate must be con.
coded or he would take the business
| away from them. The companies were
defiant. This is the way the express
companies were circumvented. The
| Secretary selected a trusty special agent
of the Treasury, who simply put the
currency in a valise and went over to
New York as an. ordinary passenger on
the night train. Thomas Cavanaugh,
the Deputy .Ser3eant-at-Arms under the
gallant Colonel Hooker in the House, was
the special agent selected for this work.
/ He. is :. a tall, broad-shouldered, deep
chested, manly looking specimen of hui
mainly. His square, resolute, sun
Drowned face is accentuated by a crisp,
curling mustache, completely hiding
his mouth. His straight nose, clear blue
eyes, and square jaws stand out in a
face remarkable for its combination of
good nature and iron resolution. Mr..
Cavanaugh used to set out from the
Office of the Secretary of the Treasury
after night with a valise simply stuffed
with Government CURRENCY i sisE
One night he had in his bag $4,000
in greenbacks. Every dollar ever in
trusted to him was safely carried. Not
aspenny was ever lost. Z His pay from
the Treasury was his regular one, eight
dollars per day and his travelling ex-
penses. He gave no bonds for this work,
as the law recognized no such way of
carrying such funds. The Secretary
had absolutely no protection beyond
Cavanaugh's individual honor. If he
had run away with an odd million at
any time, he could not have been pros
ecuted for more than a breach of trust.
In the carrying of this money, Cava-
naugh carried more than his life in his
hands. If it were suspected that he
was carrying such sums over in a
section of New York sleeper, as an
ordinary passenger, he would certainly
have been attacked. If he had been
robbed, nothing but his death in defend
ing his trust could have saved him from
the scandal of being classed by many as
a guilty participant in the robbery.
Toward the last Cavanaugh became,
very nervous. He used to start out with
his money IN one hand and revolver
in another, hidden in the pocket of his
great coat. A close coupe took him,
downthe avenue. In the sleeping-car,
toward the last, he slept but little. Some
one was always reaching across his
gashed throat-for the money placed in
his trust. It was a great relief when
the dreadful responsibility came to an
end and he was able to go back to his
ordinary duties. To-day sCavanaugh is
again carrying Government money. He

His value as a mouser does not seem
to be in the least diminished. One of
my experiments as to his capacity in
this direction came near costing me
dear. l had heard the gnawing of a rat
in an old closet where there lay a guam
tity of newspapers. Here it was decided
to leave Dido over night, and while ar
ranging the papers for the purpose, my
hand was suddenly caught by the claws
and teeth OF what at the moment seemed
like small tiger. Poor Dido! He
really looked ashamed of his blunder in
mistaking my hand for his anticipated
victim. Fortunately the papers served
as shield, or the injury inflicted might
have been more serious. may add that,
on opening the closet the next morning.
there was Dido mounting guard over a
slain rat as big as ever spoiled good
provisions or tried a housekeeper' s

1t is well known that the house-cat
will find its way back from distant places
to which it has been carried blindfolded;
and how it performs such feats natural
lists have never satisfactorily explained
The theory accepted by some of them is
that the animal takes note of the sue
fcessiye odors encountered on the way,
that these leave as distinct a series of
I images as those we should receive by
the sense of sight, and that, by taking
them in the inverse order from, that IN
l. which they were received, he traces his
homeward route. -
But, in the cat now described, the
sense of smell is by ne. means acute, as
|has been proved by a variety of meth
DDS; and, moreover, although, as one
quite uniformly chooses the shortest
road ,ghome 4 without reference to the
path he may. have taken on leaving the
house. Curious to see how far this
hoqning instinct would extend, took
advantage of fall of snow that wrap
ped under it's mantle every familiar OBJ
jeet, concealed all the paths, and dead
ened every odor and sound. Taking
Dido to a considerable distance from the
house, and making number of turns to
bewilder him, | tossed him upon a DRIFT
and quietly awaited results. The poor
creature tuned his sightless ,orbS this
way and that, and mewed piteously for
help. Finding, at length, that he was
thrown entirely on his own resources,
he stood motionless for about one min
ute, and then, to NV amazement, made
his way directly through the untrodden
snow to the house door-which, it is
needless to add, was promptly opened
for the shivering martyr to scientific in
vestigation, to whom consolation was
forthwith offered in trimming bowl of
new milk. f.
p My conclusion, therefore, Is that Wal
lace's ingenius theory of accounting for
orientation by what he calls ''brain
registration" will not explain what has
been described; but that the mysterious
homing faculty is probably Independent
of such methods of gaining knowledge
as have been ordinarily observed, and is
analogous to the migratory instinct con.
trolling the long flights of some species
of birds.-H. c. Horey, IN Seienttff
