A Russian Princess.

Karolint Bauer tells the story of the
Princess Natalie Kuraklin. She was an
imposing and captivating beauty, with
the temper of fiend, and became the
most admired and feared woman at the
court of the Emperor Alexander. Her
husband idolized her, and, unfortunate
ly, allowed her complete control over
himself. To indulge her love for pleas
IRE and luxury he went beyond his
means, and then sold one estate after
another. Once, when he handed her
little packet of bank-notes he had won,
as q sort of peace offering, Natalie
seized them and threw them into the
fire, to cure the General, as she said, of
club gaming and late hours. Another
night, when she was adorned in full
splendor for court ball, the General
kept her waiting. At last he came,
greatly excited, with red face and
flashing eyes. She supposed the excite
ment was caused by wine and told him
so in vehement words. mo, dear dar-

Improbable Customers.

Almost every machine-shop owner
has suffered more or less from the friend
who drops In to have q rivet put in his
knife, the spring of his pistol fixed, or
some other one of the million little odd
tinkering jobs done. Of course, he does
not expect to pay for it, cit is such o
trifle, you know" nor does the proprie-
tor like to make charge, and thereby
lay himself open to being thought
small" When a charge is made, it is
seldom commensurate with the cost of
doing the work, and rarely, if ever, pays
for the annoyance and diversion from
more important work. Such jobs, it Is
safe to say. are always distasteful, but
the proprietor does not know exactly
how to refuse to do them. Not only do
they take more time than would be sup
posed, but considerable time is wasted
in getting back to regular work, and
in many cases other employees have to
wait on the one doing the job, machin-
cry is idle, and the minds of the men
have to go back and gather up the
threads of the work in hand. Such jobs
are an imposition, not intentional per-
haps, because those imposing them are
ignorant of the annoyance they cause,
but this does not lessen their cost in any
measure. The machinist who does not
want such work should plant himself
squarely against it, and refuse to take
it at all. A few words of explanation
would satisfy any reasonable applicant.

An Unnatural Mother.


The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph writes that a horrible
case of barbarous ill-treatment of
child has been brought to light in that
city. The victim, he says, is the little
son of q commercial traveller living in
the Rue Boulle, near the Boulevard
Richard Lenoir. For the past two
years the boy, who is now 10, has been
kept in a dark, closet, scantily clothed,
and fed on small rations of bread and
salt, even his supply of water being
limited. He was frequently beaten by
his unnatural mother, who threatened
to kill him outright, and he did not
even know in what country, street, or
house he was living. The poor child,
who had been previously put out to
nurse in the country, had been brought
to the house at the risk of his life in o
box, and the neighbors were actually in
complete ignorance of his existence. A
few days ago the boy was handed over
to q woman, who took him to the hos
pital, and his terrible condition at once
showed the surgeons to what inhuman
treatment he had been subjected. The
police were communicated with, and
after much trembling hesitation the
little victim, who had learned from the
woman where his parents lived, gave
them the address. Even then the police
had some difficulty in finding the house,
as the concierge innocently declared
that his family only consisted of the
father, mother, and little girl of II.
Questioned by the police, the mother at
first stated that the boy was not her
son, but ut last was compelled to admit
the fact. as also that she had broken
sticks in beating him. His sister spoke
of the poor child with the utmost cynic-
ism. She had begun by saying that
she had no brother, and it appears that
she had assured her aunt that he was
boarding out. AS for the father, he
was often absent from home, and left
his wife to do Us she pleased with the
little martyr. The child is in n de-
plorable condition. Although 10 years
of age, he does not look more tharr6.
His body is frightfully emacated and
covered with bruises, and until he went
to the hospital he had not lain in bed
for two years. He has no hair, it
having all been torn off his head by his
mother, and his scalp is one great open
wound. So savage was the Indignation
aroused in the district by these dis
closures that the wife of the commercial
traveller had to be taken to Jail by a
strong body of police, or she would in
| eyitablv have been lynched.

A WISE REFORM.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malaral
maladies was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public, but profes.
sonal men have adopted, not wholly, of
course, but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as safe botanic substitute for the per.
nicious alkaloid The consequences of this
change are most important Now fever and
ague sufferers arc cured-formerly their
complaints we're only for the time relieved or
half cured-the remedy eventually failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except the
doses were increased. A course of the Bit
tiers, pcrsistently followed, breaks up the
worst attacks and prevents their return.
The evidence in favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfactory, and
the sources whence it proceeds are very
numerous.
