kussian Doctors.

From the Hamburg News.
The following story illustrates the way
which Russian physicians shirk unpleasant t
work During quarrel peasant in the
province Of NovogOrod was struck in the
chest with an axe, fracturing several ribs
and wounding the lungs. He was in an
extremely critical condition, and doctor
from the nearest town sixty miles distant,
was sent for. The surgeon, as is customary
in Russia, took his time, and reached his
patient by slowest stage. The man had
nearly succumbed to his injuries by this
time, and stood very little chane of
recovery. The doctor made an examin.
alton and pronounced the wound az fatal.
He waited several hours thinking that the
man in the meantime would die, but
things did not turn out as he expected 80
in order to facilicate matters and save him
the trouble of again visiting his patient,
he made out death certificate and started
home. For some reason or other the man
took it into his head to get we'll, and he
finally did recover entirely. The authori.
ties, learning of the strange proceeding,
demanded the return of the death certifi.
cate, which was refused, and now the man
walks about in the full possession of
the consolation that he Is legally dead,
and that his body lies buried in the
village churcbyard, according to the death
certificate.

Some Hints to the rair.

From the Baltimore sun.
Tight lacing, high heeled shoes, and the
wells of mourning which poison the blood
ruin the complexion. Tight lacing not
only spoils the complexion, but small
waist spoils the figure. Bromide Of potash
spoiis the complexion more than any other
drug, and does more harm in this way than
the old crime of heavy calomel dosing.
The diet has had more than its share of
blame for bad compilations. Butter, oil
and grease, generally considered bad, are
not injurious but are an assistance.
The long thick crepe yell is very iuiur.
ious to the complexion, and Baltimore ex-
ceeds other cities in the wearing of them.
The rough crepe rubs the skin off and the
poisonous matter is taken into the circu.
latiOn in that way, as well as carried into
the lungs in breathing. Such veil worn
for two consecutive years seldom fails to
produce evil results. Similar goods about
the neck, and black silk aud black cotton
goods also produce bad effects. Paris has
a feather-dyers' disease, produced from
the dye IN which the feathers are dipped.
A parasite similar to that which causes
the mould on leather or on cheese causes
trouble about the skin and hair. These
may be caught from dogs and other ami
mails.

specimens. The mineral exhibit include
specimens Of gold, silver, copper and lea
ore from mines now being worked in th
state. The exhibits of fruits will be yer
fine, and will embrace over 600 Jars pu
up In alcohol. The exhibit of fish en-
braces $50 specimens, nearly all of whic
are of commercial value. The Charlesto

The REMOVAL of Rocks and Rubbish.
From the Germantown Telegraph.


The best plan to get rid Of rocks when
occupying space in cultivated land is to
dig holes as near to them as it can be done
with safety aad toppls them in. The
holes should, Of course, be dug deep
enough so that they will be buried be-
meath the reach of the plow. OF courte
this can be applied only to rocks of such
size as can be managed in this way. Stones
scattered over premises usually become
of value in building fences, or breaking
and filling up quagmirss upon the place,
or in constructing hard roads about the
farm. In the same way there is no better
plan to gee rid Of old tins, crooks and other
rubbish that accumulate about house
than by digging hole and burying them
at least one foot under the surface. A
farmer once told Que of his men to dig a
hole to bury large quantity Of rubbish
about his place. But he was answered.
What am to do with the dirt that
comes out?' "Why, dig a hole large
enough to hold oil tho trash you have and
the dirt too." The farmer was, of course,
right. A post hole will not only hold the
post, but all the dirt that comes out Of the
hole,

Exodus OF resro.s to Arkansas.

Several carloads of negroes, Numbering
$50 persons, embracing men, women and
children, passed through Columbia, S. @,
on Monday, en- route to Argenta, Ark.
They have sold out all their little property
at home and have taken only their personal
and bed clothing. The negroes in that city
have had slight attack of the Arkansas
fever, but not sufficient to do any harm Z.
The railroad authorities in that city are
arranging for the transportation Of four
hundred negroes to California under con-
tract about the 10Th inst. Emigration
agents are rapidly reducing the laboriug
population of the state, but the exodus is
not caused by the tear Of again being put
into slavery.

CLEANING THE CITY.
How the Sewers are Washed Out and Alleys
and Cutter, Cleaned,

anu Cutters Cleaned.
During the month of July all of the sewers
throughout the district were flushed, and
workmen are engaged in cleaning them this
month. When the men stopped work last
night they had cleaned all of the traps and
flushed all Of the sewers between Third street
east and Eighteenth street west, and from the
boundary to the river. The labOrers are di-
Nidcd into two gangs, which begin work at
the same point and work in opposite dircc-
tions. In flushing sewers one of the men Is
lowered through Il manhOle with hose. the
outer end of which is attached to a fire plug.
The water is then turned on and the force of
it drives the refuse into the longer sewers,
where men hoist II to the surface and II is
carried away. The force now employed can
flush about $50 sewers day, and in II month
are able to clean over 100 miles of sewers.
The refuse that escapes the men in the main
sewers flows into the thirty-ioot sewer at the
rear of the Botanical gardens where Il is
dredged out by, men into boats. The district
saves considerable money by having this
thirty.tOOt sewer, as 1t gets large quantities of
sand from the refuse, which is used In work
done by the district employees, such as paving
sewers, &c.
In addition to flushing the sewers there IL n
gang OF men constantly employed in cleaning
sewer traps. A large cage, or net Is attached
to each of the street corner traps which re-
tains all of the refuse deposit, the water drain.
ing through. The laborers lower one of their
number into the trap, and the latter fills
bucket, which is also lowered, with the refuse,
and 1t is hoisted to the surface. The refuse is
then carted away. Officials Of the health de-
partliteht say that never in the history of this
city has the sanitary condition been 50 good.
Allpf the unimpovpd alleys, cutters, and
streets in the city are cleaned by the chain
gang, and Capt. Burroughs, the superintendent
of streets and alleys, stated yesterday that the
unfortunates in the gang had never worked so
hard for their board and lodging. In the east.
ern and southern sections this gang have
nearly completed cleaning every alley, gutter,
and unimproved street Their work consists
in keeping the cutters and alleys free from all
deposits or growth of weeds leveling the
streets, and working boundary lines
The street cleaning department receives all
of the complaints about sewers cutters, and
alleys anda record ismade of each case. When
a complaint is received men are sent to repair
the defect, for which they make return of
the amount of labor necessary and of the cost
If the citizen making the complaint is will
ing to bear the expense the bill is sent to HIM,
but generally the district has the work done
by its employees.
There were 1902 sewers cleaned during July,
from which l,126 cubic yards of silt were re-
moved, and the same number will be cleaned
this month. There have been less complaints
of late about defective drainage than for some
time past, and the completion of the sewerage
system will, ii is said, cure all defects.

a MIRAGE.
The Washington Monument Appears TO BIO
Painted on the Clouds.

Several persons in this city saw wonderful
phenomenon in tho heavens last evening In
the shape of II mirage of the Washington
monument. Some gentlemen on Twelfth
street say that just as the sun was going down
they stopped on the west side of the street,
and from their point COULD not sec the monu.
mcnt. one of them glanced mp Mt the sky and
saw what looked like u reflection of the monu-
ment. He called the attention of the others,
who gaZed at II for about five minutes, when II
disappeared. The mirage was very dim, III
fact, almost invisible at first and was obsclircd
for time by some NapOrouS clouds. These
passed away however, and then the full out
line Of the monument from the base to the top
could he seen.
one of the gentlemen AYERS that he saw the
flag on top of the monument He says that 1t
was iluttering when he first caught sight of 1t,
and that he distinctly saw the figure Of u man
approach the stan and pull the flag down:
Another gentleman COrroDoratcd the hrst, ana
said, while watching the man pull down the
flag, he saw the latter kick piece of plaster
or brick from the monument, and so wrapt up
in the illusion was he that he stepped back
instinctivcly to get out Of the way OF the fall
ing missile. Alter looking at the operations
for about five minutes, golden shat of light
from the sun shot through the mirage, ana 1t
gradually faded away. About half u minute
later the sun went down and the mirage was
seen no more.
A flag was floating on the monument yester-
day more than $40 feet from the ground. II
was hauled down about sunset
