He and his fellows do nothing in Park

the only resource of the detective is to
drive them from the street with threats
The other day the crowd in Ann street
Just off Park row was astonished to see a
little man approach a big man. and with
a single blow knock him into the gutter.
The big man rose, caught sight of his as.

Horrors nj Russian Prisons.

Yadrintseff, the author, who has de-
voted many years to the study of prison
life in Russia and Siberia and who is now
editing The Oriental Review at st. Peters
burg, writes of our provincial prisons:
Almost in every 'ostrog'-lockup-
there is a corridor nearly underground
which has the moisture and smell of o
grave. In this corridor are the cells for
the more important common law prisoners
awaiting their trial. These cells are half
underground. The floor is always wet
and rotten Mold and fungi cover the
walls. Water is continually oozing from
beneath the floor. A small painted win
dow makes the cell almost completely
dark. The men are kept there in irons
There is no bedstead, no bed. The prison
ers are lying ON the floor, which is covered
With worms and myriads of feas; and for
bed they have rotten straw, for cover
ing their poor overcloth torn to pieces

runs away to breathe fresh air; and in
such cells the prisoners spend several
years, waiting for their trial. Even the

The growing evil of droughts and insects
and weeds, and sweeping winds, VIC can
provide against only by prompt action and
combined action. We do not need laws
against oleomargarine hundredth part
as badly as we need strong legislation to
compel the destruction of weeds and spar
rows and the prevention Of the destruction
of forests and scattered trees. If all of
our legislatures would confine their atten-
ton to the practical needs of the land for
one summer, and then adjourn without a
successor for five years, we should stand
some chance of getting the value of the
taxes paid to support our state political
institutions. New weeds are invading US,
new insects overwhelming the crops, and
the sparrows threaten to be worse than all

Talking I'm Opera Boxes.

In German opera the orchestral part and
the choruses and declamatory sections are
just as important as the lyric numbers.
and many of the most exquisite passages
in the operas of Weber and Wagner are
kind of superior pantomime music during
which no voice at all is heard on the
stage Now am convinced that much of
the talking in opera boxes is simply due
to ignorance of this fact. Vocal music is
much more readily appreciated than In.
strumental music, and those who have no
ear for instrumental measures do not
realize that others are enraptured by them.
Hence they talk as soon as the singing
ceases, unconscious of the fact that they
are greatly annoying those who wish to
listen to the orchestra. Henry 7. Finck
in the Cosmopolitan.

With joyous tone and hurried breath,
Some message that could comfort Death.

flugging and Embracing.

Plugging is comparatively modern institut on.
 Our ancestors never hugged. They calmly and demurely embraced.
 There's big difference between a hug and an embrace.
 The hug is an earnest, quick, impetu- ous contraction of the muscles of the arms and chest when the object to be hueeed lies within the circle bounded bv the arms. while the chest is the goal or final point of the hug. The warmth of the hug is deter mined by the extent of the muscular contraction. But the hug is not, as anatomists assert, determined when the object is brought in contact with the chest. On the contrary, the sweep ing in is but the shell of the operation.
 The kernel is reached when the space between the hugger and the hugee is annihilated, and the blade of knife could scarcely be inserted be- tween both surfaces. That is. perhaps. the most dangerous stage of the opera ton. A pound. nay. a few ounces of extra pressure. may result If not in the displacement of rib, at least in the bursting of a corset-string. with the almost inevitable destruction of bangs. montagues, waves. puAs, and such like head-gear.
 The release. if not skiIlfullv manag- ed. is attended with danger, and should he as gradual as the elementary press ure.
 Expressions of anguish on the part of the huggee may. as Q rule. be re- qard,d as hypocritical. and should have no effect m inducing the hugger 10 dim nish the pressure. In like man. ner all danger signals in regard to the arr val of q third party on the scene should be investigated by the party of the first part before rece Nng the at- l tention the genuine arrival of a parent or guard an m ght command
 This may be done by quick glance over the shoulder, and this rapid change of the q rection of ihe head may be accomplished by by a little practice, without making any relaSa- 1 on of pressure necessary.
 If the warning should prove to be without foundation the de- ceit may be punished by from two to three pounds of addi- tional pressure, but so gradual that none of the ornaments of the person bupged may suffer. These little acci- dents rune the temper and embitter the memory of the operation. The small affa rs of the toilet are not accom- plIshed easily, and the female mind s 1 ruflled by the destruction of the labor ons embellishments of the morning | hours.
 The embrace is merely the throwing 1 out and part al contraction of the arms. without any special attention to the ob' l jeet ve point. Near relat yes should be embraced and not hugged. An espec ally young l and pretty aunt may be excepted, and eases are known where an extremely 1 juvenile and good-looking step-mother i has been the occasion ofrthe merging 1 of the embrace into the hug. But this is rarely done, part eularily if the em. braces is dependent on the purse of | the old man for the necessities as well | as the luxuries of life.
 To embrace mother-in-law IS hol- i low mockery, and should be attempted 1 only when important objects has to be attained and even then it IS hardly eX cusable. Chicago Iiitef- f-Oceaia

TheIe was not breath of air moving, nor sound but that of the surf booming half niile away along the beaches and against the rocks outside.

 If the conduct of the men had been alarm Ing in the boat, it became truly threatening when they had come aboard.

 ofall the gloomy features of that gloomy afternoon, this obvious anxiety on the part oi Long John appeared the worst.
 We held a council in the cabin.
