Child Killers.

The Novoe Vremya warns Russian
mothers of a new religious sect which
has 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 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 drowsiness. A
week later it died without having been
really Ill. The corpse was placed in the
coffin, when a young Jewess burst into
the house, threw herself upon the 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. It has been found that in Ros-
toy there is a society of child murderers,
who poison children by means of mar
cotics. They are instigated to do so by
a fanatical woman, who says, F'It is ev-
cry woman's duty to spare the evils OF
life to as many children as possible, and
to make them share in the bliss of heaven
before the earth has contaminated their
souls

one leg and lighting fresh cigar. "The

The Great Trip-Hammer.

works at Essen gained its name, "Unser
Fritz" and the inscription it bears,
"Fritz let fly % in the following manner:
When, in 1877, the Emperor William
visited Essen, this steam-hammer at
tracted his attention. Krupp presented
to him the machinist, Fritz, who, he
said, handled the hammer with such
nicely and precision as not to iniure or
touch an objest placed in the center of
the block. The Emperor at once put
his diamond-studded watch on the spot
indicated, and beckoned to the machinist
to set the hammer in motion. Fritz
hesitated out of consideration for the
precious object, but Krupp urged him
on by saying: "Fritz, let fyl'' Down
came the hammer, and the watch re-
NAMED untouched. The Emperor gave
it to the machinist as a souvenir, and
Krupp added 1000 marks to the present.

An Accomplished Butler.
philadelphia Records Washington Letter. ]

philadelphia Records Washington Letter.
One day last fall handsome mulatto
boy came to the door of a friend of
mine, asking for work. he was a good
butler, he explained, despite his years;
he had been carefully trained and could
do many things outside his strict line of
duty. My friend happened to need just
such serving man and accepted him
very imprudently on his face, which was
good, without asking particularly for
his recommendations, which were bad.
He was a most accomplished servant.
He knew all about the dining-room; he
knew all about the front door; he was
willing and ready, and quiet, and a
great success in every way. He was an
extremely polite boy, thoroughly gentle
and kind, and he soon worked his way
into the good graces of the family. One
day, when one of the young ladies was
playing on the piano, he was discovered
listening. The next day he was found
listening again. His devotion to music
was remarked upon. Finally he plucked
up courage to ask whether he could not
sit down to the piano at odd moments
when the ladies were otherwise engaged.
They said he could. He did at the first
opportunity, and for a mulatto serving
man he played exquisitely. OF course
the ladies heard him and were pleased.
