 A number of Russian peasants have been poisoned by kohl or cabbage soup, made from vegetables preserved in yes sels which, on examination, proved to be coated internally With very ap- prpc:able quantity of arsenic. The vic tins were treated with milk, and though for time they were apparently in great danger, all recovered. No clew has been discovered as to the manner in which the arsenic found its way into the barrel of 'bOM."
 The Rothschild family is rich be- yond knowledge. The family wealth, united, amounts into the thousands of millions of dollars, and it holds the financial credit of nations in its hands.

see. his story is worthless. Even in hls l

see, his story is worthless Even in hls own "reminiscences, men and events are sometimes confused by the lapse of time.
 His first military experience was on the expedition sent by the Marquis Duquesne in 1753 to occupy the Upper Ohio. He accompanied the party, how ever, no further than Presquile, having been sent with a detachment to Detroit and Lake Huron. In the next year he was one of the party that drove Ensign Ward from the forks of the Ohio and built Fort Duquesne. He was at this place when Jumonville was killed and his men captured by Washington, but he adds very little to what is known of that affair, except some particulars about the Canadian who escaped the fate of the rest. He was also one of the force under Villiers who defeated Wash ington at Fort Necessity. His account answers pretty well to the French con- temporary reports, none of which, how ever, give the number of Indians who accompanied the expedition. This 1T. c. B." puts at 300, which, if true, makes the total French force upward of 900, against about $50 under Washing ton.
 He gives horribly minute account of the torture of English prisoners by the Indians at Fort Duquesne in the summer of 1755. He was present at the scene, which seems to have left an indelible impression upon him. He not only puts the defeat of Braddock in the wrong year, but his account of it is extremely short and unsatisfactory, adding nothing to what is already known, though he says that he took part in it. He seems impartial In his mistakes, which sometimes tell against his own countrymen. Thus, he declares that at the battle of Lake George the whole French force was killed or taken, while in fact the greater part escaped His ambition to make book has led him to sacrifice rare opportunities of leaving behind him record of personal observations which might have been of great interest and value. He apollo gizes for having so much to say about what he himself saw and did, but his real fault is in adding any thing else.- 7. Parkman, in ~. '. Post.

CHINESE WRITING.
Ideas Expressed on Paper By Means o
 Small Pictures or Keys.

Ideas Expressed on Paper By Means of
 Small Pictures or Keys.
 Chinese is queer langu age. All it's words are only one syllable long. But the sounds in the Chinese language are not very many, some four hundred and sixty-five at most, and their written lan- guage contains about eighty thousand pictures, each picture representing a thing or idea. And these pictures must be committed to memory. This is hard work, and not even the ablest Chinese professor can learn them all. But now comes difficulty. For, of course, where there are so many words and so few sounds, many different words have to be called by the same sound. How then are they to tell, when several diff ferent things have exactly the same name, which of them is meant?
 We have such words. For instance, there IS Bill, the name of boy; and bill, the beak of bird; there is bill, an old weapon, and bill, piece of money; there is bill, an article over which leois- latures debate, and bill, a claim for payment of money; besides bills of exchange, bills of lading and so forth. But Chinese is full of such words of a single syllable, gen, for instance, which, like bill, means many very diff ferent things. So they chose number of little pictures, and agreed that these should be used as ''keys.H' Each ':key" meant that the sign or signs near which it stood belonged to some large general set of things, like things of the veg etable, mineral or animal kingdom, forest, mines or seas, air or water, or of persons, like gods or men. It was like the game called Throwing Light, in which you guess the article by narrow ing down the field until certain what it is.
 But there Chinese writin 2 stopped short, thousands of years ago. There it is to-day. There are now two hun dred and fourteen of these keys" and, by intense application, Chinamen learn to use their method with surprising quickness and success.-Henry Eckford in St. Nicholas,

4 Simple and Approved Method of Rais-
 ing Queens Artifcially.

4 Simple and Approved Method of Rais- ing Queens Artificially.
 In the matter of rearing queens, there are two methods, which we will style artificial and natural. Artificial queens, raised from artificial cells. Natural queens, raised from natural cells, as when swarming.
 In raising queens artificially there are several ways. of which the following is probably as good as any other, and can be carried on any time during the sea- son, from May to October.
 Select colony from which you wish to breed, being careful to examine and see that they have plenty of young brood and eggs. Remove the queen, and, in order to save her, take out frame of matching brood and adhering bees at the same time. Place these with the de- posed queen in new hive and in new location. You can build this up to any strength by inserting frames of brood from other colonies. The colony left queenlesS will at once start number of queen cells, visible in three or four days. It is hardly necessary, in th:s enlight- ened day of ours, to state that the young queens thus forming are reared from eggs that would otherwise have matched worker bees had not the queen been re- moved. At the end of eight days the queen cells formed will be capped over, eight days more. or six teen days in all, and these cells will hatch out perfect queens. Between the time in which the queen cells are capped over and matching time is the time to make good use of them. When they are about twelve days old, cut out the cells, inserting each in a frame of bees and brood taken from some other colony.
 Be careful in selecting frames of brood not to get the queen, as she would soon destroy the cell containing your young queen. After having inserted your queen cells in frames of young matching brood and bees, place these frames Gone in each hive) separately, forming small colonies, generally called nuclei. With each colony so formed place an empty frame of comb and divis on board to contract the space to suit the size of the colony formed. You can, if you wish, take frames of brood or honey iron other colonies, instead of the empty frames, building up to a full colony, but, if you have made good selections of brood frames this will not be necessary, as they will soon multiply and increase to full size. If you have been success ful in your transferring you will have quite number of two or three frame nuclei, just right for additional queen raising. In two or three days the young queens will be out and in ten days they will be laying and ready for sale, as ''untested" queens.-The PouIterer.

A GREAT NUISANCE.

Useful Suggestions for Farmers Desirous
 of Fighting the Rat-Pest.
 The question has been asked why neither the National or State census enumerators inquired how many rats the farm averaged per acre, nor how much grain per annum they consumed, and how much time and money the farmer had spent the past year in build ing against rats, in making repairs of walls, foundations, cribs, doors and harness damaged by rats. The Chinese custom of making game of rats is in ac cordance with good economy
 If one can make the imagination and stomach so harmonize that rats may be esteemed as much of del;cacy as young squirrels or frogs, then we have made some advance in the great prob lem of food-supply and of utilizing all the products of the country. But as we are far from such condition, the question is rather how to destroy than to utilize rats
 One correspondent drives the pest from his cellars, stables and cribs by the use of copperas and whitewash. He mixes enough copperas in the white wash to make it yellow, and then white washes the walls and ceiling of the eel lar and sprinkles the crystals about and Tn their runs, and about the corners of the floor. He claims a perfect stam- pede of rats under such management. can recommend the use of cop- peras with whitewash as a disin- fectant, and for this alone it is well to use 1t at least once a year in the eel lar. But if one has the time and would be very particular, he will find benefit in the frequent use of copperas. The family that will at least twice year clean out thoroughly the cellar, and whitewash with lime and copperas all the walls, hooks and corners, and will keep the cellar clean, and barrels and boxes off the floor, will not be troubled with rats, or typhoid or malarial levers
 Instead of inducing rats to come, as many do, by leaving butter, fruits and dishes uncovered in the cellar, let noth- ing be left uncovered for them to nibble at or to regale themselves with
 Shut out the raS from the house and crlbS, and keep them out by carefulnesS in not leaving things lying around for them to get. Such care, with a good cat or two, will make rats scarce about the premises.
 Rat poisons will be wholly unneces- sary about the premises so cared for. If one is careful in building houses, cribs and piggeries, so as not to give favor able quarters to rats, their numbers may be diminished.
 Piles of rails and old lumber make harbors. These may be broken up, and the place made to look better, too, by having a rack to set rails and old boards against. Rats will not harbor in them when set on end, so dogs and cats may pass through. Pests and nuisances generally disappear before thorough going neatness and order in all parts of the house and farm.-AnlerIcan Guilt DGtOr.

The Bass Was Too Greedy.
Paris (Mo.) Mercury.1

John Clark, who lives on North River, Missouri, while chopping wood near the river Tuesday, heard terrible splashing in the water. He went to the river bank and saw large bass floating helplessly about. He took stick and pulled the fish ashore, and was surprised to find in it's mouth a good-sized catfish. The horns of the latter were protruding through the gills of the bass, and thus both fish were fastened together in such a manner that they could not be separated.

He dyed his hair black, thinking to please her, and she, ignorant of his noble sacrifice, bleached her hair white to please him. There was strange far-offness when they next met.

Opinions of Various Experts Upon How to
 Edit Newspaper.
 In editing a newspaper a pen is a necessary article; so is a pencil, inas- much as it may at times be more con- venient than a pen to write with. A pair of scissors is also necessary. But what is most necessary is brains. Next to brains in value I estimate what we call the newspaper instinct, the sense of what news the public require, and what discussion will be most effective. Next after this come special talents and general knowledge; and the more Knowledge, general and special, a news paper man has, the more useful he will be.
 But with all these gifts and graces he won't accomplish much unless he also possesses a sense of humor and an uncompromising love of truth and of the United States Constitution.
 A pair of scissors, however, is not as good as pair of modern-sized shears, and neither scissors nor shears can make journalist. c. A. DANA,

In the hands of an editor "entirely great" the scissors are as mighty as the pen. Good exchange readers' are scarcer than good writers, and, although they come high, we must have them in every well-regulated newspaper office. The most successful journals of the day in this country are those which make the best use of the scissors, giving due credit for borrowed matter, whether copied bodily or adapted and however classified. Browsing on the exchanges is wholesome pastime and a nourish- ing and stimulating practice for any man in the editorial room, from editor in-chief to office boy. Very truly yours,
