Child-KiIlers in Russia.

The No0oje Kremja warns Russian
mothers of a new religious sect which
has already given several proofs of its
existence. In Rostov, on the Don, an
officer engaged a middle-aged nurse for
his three-year old son. She was very
attentive and seemed to love 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
drowsiness. A week later it died with
out have been really ILL., The corpse was
placed in the coffin, when a young Jew
ess burst into the house, threw herself
upon the dead child, and 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 -murderers, who poison children
by means of narcotics. They are insti-
gated to do so by fanatical woman, who
says "It is woman's duty to spare the
evils of life to as many children as posi-
bic and to make them participate in the
bliss of heaven before the earth has con-
taminated their souls. ."--L0nd0n Neass.

Flowers Makers of Paris.

1t appears almost incredible that in
Paris no fewer than 80, 900 women find
their living by making artificial flowers.
The majority of them are asserted by a
too credulous admirer to be real artists,
initiating nature almost to perfection
with exquisite taste and well-developed
imagination. The rose in the workshop
of the fleuriste is the masterpiece. If the
art of making rose is required, the
maker is supposed to be able to initiate
any other flower, the rose being consid-
cred as particularly developing the i'm
agination of young artists. AS in other
branches of industry, there are specialists
IN the flower factories, the buds, the
foliage and the mounting being done by
different people. At present great
number of flower makers are out of work,
owing partly to flowers being out of
fashion and partly to the enormous COM
petition in England, Germany, Switzer-
land and America, which increases with
every season. No country, however, can
compete with France in elegance deli
cacy and taste, although the flowers are
generally made after French models. It
is a curious fact, says a complacent
Frenchman that women who in Franco
were highly esteemed for their taste in
the manufacturing and arranging of flow
ers lose all their ingenuity when, as not
infrequently happens they go abroad t,
pursue their calling.-P0H Mall Budget.

JONES GOES SHOPPING.

"Jeptha," I" said Mrs. Jones, as her hus-
band rose from the dinner-table, 81 wish
you would get me some skeins of en-
broidery silk at some of the dry-goods
stores, and save me from going down
town to-day"
Gan right" said Jones, airily; what
color do you wantl"
'Oh, mixed gray and black; some
thing like your hair" said Mrs. Jones,
pleasantly.
The first store that Jones went into the
girls stood in a line behind the silk
counter, and looked him over as he
approached; he felt cold chills running
up and down his vertebre, his knees
shook, and clammy perspiration started
on his noble brow as he asked for en-
broidery silk.
''What colorY" asked one of the sales
ladies, as she smiled sweetly at Jones
mustache.
''Just the color of your hair" he said,
in soft, beseeching tone, that sounded
like a cat tapping cream
And then he saw change come over
the face of the girl, even as a thunder
storm crosses the blue of summer sky,
and she turned her back to him, pulled
down box, slammed it on the counter,
jerked off the cover, and revealed a mass
of scarlet silks. Jones stared.
Good heavensl The girl had fiery red
hair
He made his peace with her finally,
and got out of the store alive. He said
1t was his own hair he meant, and he
took off his hat humbly, and she got the
mixed skeins, and gave them to him with
his change.
sit would have saved you some trouble
if you had told me in the first place that
you wanted silks the color of singed
owl, she said, sweetly..
Jones said it was hair-breadth escape
for him.

TIE pRuMMER's DEFEAT.

Talk about pretty girls-but she was a
wild flower and no mistake! She got on
the train to go over to Meridian from
Vicksburg and she was all alone. There
was sort of sidelong movement among
five or six men, but drummer for Phil
adelphia saddlery house got there first.
He grabbed up his grip and walked
square up to her seat and took possession
of half of it without asking a question
and in ten minutes he seemed to be per-
fectly at home. She answered his ques-
tions briefly and he had the hardest kind
of work to keep up conversation, and as
the train approached jackson she sud-
denly said:
81 want to telegraph papa from here.
Will you help me2"
''Oh, certainly. I have blank in my
pocket. Write your telegram and I will
run into the office with it"
We missed him when the train started,
but by and by he was found in the smok-
ing car, his hat crushed down and his
nerves all on edge. When asked what
had happened he drew forth the telegram
which the girl had requested him to hand
in. 1t read:
Bring your shot gun with you to pop
over drummer who has dreadfully an
noyed me. Shoot to kill"
"To think, he gasped, "that one so
fair could be SO murderous. "-Detqoit Free

Sleeping and Eating.

When people sit up late at night, par
ticularly if they are delicate, they should
eat something, if only slice of bread
and butter, before retiring This seems
heretical, but is not. Animals, after eat
ing, instinctively sleep. Human beings
become drowsy after full meal Whyq
Because blood is solicited toward the
stomach to supply the juices needed in
digestion. Hence the brain receives less
blood than during fasting, becomes pale
and the powers grow dormant Sleep
therefore ensues. This is physiologicaf,
The sinking sensation in sieeplessness is
a call for food Wakefulness often is
merely symptom of hunger. Crafty
the desire, and you fall asleep The
feeble will be stronger at dawn if they
eat on going to bed. Fourteen
hours lie between supper and breakfast
By that time the fuel of the bodv
has become expended. Consequently
the morning toilet fatigues many. Let
such eat at bedtime, and take glass of
warm milk or beef tea before rising. In
creased vigor will result " But the
stomach must rest" True. Yet when
hungry we must eat. Does the infants

latter eats less often merely because his

o'clock without hunger. Satisfy it and
sleep will be sounder. During the night
give Yakeful children food. Sleep will
follow. The sick should invariably eat
during the night This is imperative.
At night the delicate and children may
take, slowly, warm milk, beef tea or oat-
meal cruel. Vigorous adults may also
eat bread and milk, cold beef, mutton,
chicken and bread, raw oysters, all, of
course, in moderation. Do not eat if
not hungry. Eat if you are.-BoaO- Bells.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. C. March 5, 1884,
In brief review Of the weeks
work in Congress it may be noted:
the Senate passed the Mcpherson
currency bill first, and then the bill
authorizing the construction of
seven steel cruisers for the
navy, after an extended high
ly interesting debate, in which
Senators Hale, Beck, Bayard, Vest,
and Butter participated conspicus
ously. The main issue being
whether the new vessels should be
built in the Government Navy
yards, or let out to private contrac-
tors. The Senate next passed the
House bill repeating the iron-clad
oath, with proviso that it shall be
retained tc be taken as test of
loyalty during the war in cases
where persons bring claims against
the Government. The Senate also
drew line where Federal assist.
ance shall end by declining to grant
an appropriation for the benefit of
the recent cyclone sufferers in the
southern states.
After discussion which was at
times diffuss and irrevelant the
House Of Representatives cared for
the cattle of the country by passing
the euro.pueumonia bill, which
provides, by an appropriation OF
$S50,000, for the establishment,

ture, ola bureau of Animal Indus.

veterinary surgeon with a salary of
$4,000, per annum.
The memory of Representative
Haskell was honored by eulogistic
orations from number OF members,
and, alta night session, seventeen
private pension bills were passed.
The naval bill passed by the Senate
was also taken up, and there tol.
lowed a day of general debate on
the Navy, the most interesting of
the week. During this Mr.. Thomas
Of ILL.,, condemned the system of
confering relative rank upon the
staff Of the Navy. Mr.. Cox spoke
Of it's tepheaviness, there being an
officer to every five seamen, and
Mr.. Finnerty made a speech in
which he dwclt upon the helpless
