TIE B0U0s TFemvd warns Russian mothers
Of a new ligious see which has given several
proofs Of its existence. In Rostoy, on the Don,
an officer engaged a middle aged nurse for his
3-year-old son. She was very attentive and
seemed fond of the child. but after two months
she suddenly left the situation and the town.
The child began TO all the very next day, lost
its memory, and suffered from continual
drOWslness. a week later it died without
having been really i'll. The corpse was placed
in the coffin, when young Jewess burst into
the house, threw herself upon the dead child
ami crying bitterly said: THE same woman
poisoned my child. She was my nurse before.
and now she has murdered your poor boy"
The woman spoke the truth. 1t has been
found that in ROstOv there is a society Of child
murderers. who poison children by means OF
narcotics. They are instgated to do so by
fduatcal woman. who saws. "It is every WO-
mans duty to spare the evils Of life to as many
children a. possible, and to make them share
in the bliss of heaven before the earth has
contaminated their souls
ONE Of those irresistibly humorous revela-
tions Of the working Of the Oriental mind. so
common in the history Of Turkish administra-
ton, is just now town talk. In ConstantinOple
a party Of police encountered a party Of
smugglers on the Asiatic shore of the Bos-
/ phOrus. 1t Is said that everything was annie
able until the smugglers refused TO give the
! police the large sum demanded as the price of
silence. Be this as it may, after some parley
! a skirmsh ensued, in which one of the Snug
! glers vas shot. The rest then went their way
/ with their contraband goods. Now. the Snug
/ glers have lodged q complaint against the pO-
/ lice for unfairness in going out armed, when
/ the law provides that the revenue guard
{ shall be armed only with clubs. The snug
/ glers say that by this breach OF faith they
/ were taken at a disadvantage. since their re-
/ lance on the observance Of law was the rea-
| son why they wore armed only with cudgels
/ They wish the police punished, and if the
/ revenue officers are to De allowed in future to
| carry arms, they wish to be publicly notified
1 50 that they may be properly prepared!
