Across the Russian Frontier.

George KEENAN, contributors TO the May
Century an illustrated description OF his trip
scross the Russian frontier, and the following
.rtist found when they reached the boundary.
A picture Of such scene as the one des-
,ribed here forms the frontispiece OF the
number. I'VE sprang out Of the tarantas
aud saw, standing by the road .de, a square
pillar ten or twelve feet In height of stnc-
coed or Jlastered brick, bearing GU one side
The coat OF arms OF the European province OF
Perm, and on the other that OF the Asiatic
province Of Tobolsk. 1t was the boundary
post Of Siberia. No other spot between ST.
Petersburg and the Pacific is more fun OF
painful suggestions, aud none has for the
traveller a more melancholy interest than
the little opening In the forest where stands
his gref-consecratrd pillar Here hun
dreds OF thousands OF eXled human beings
men, women, aud children; princes mobiles,
and pcasants-have hidden good bye forever
10 friends, country and home.
NO other boundary post In the world has
witnessed so much human suffering, or been
passed hy such multitude of heart-broken
people More than 10000 * les have travels
ell this road since 1873, and more than half a
million since the beginning OF the present
century. As the boundary post Is situated
AbNul uANNaV between tne last European
and the first Siberian etapc, IL has ALWAYS
been customary To allow exile parties TO stop
here for rest and for a last goodbye TO
home and country. The Russian peasant,
even when a criminal, is deeply attached to
his native land; and heart-rendng scenes
have been witnessed around the boundary
pillar when such party, overtaken perhaps
by frost and snow in the early autumn, stop
ped here for a last farewell Some gave way
10 unrestrained grief, some coInforted the
weeping; some knelt aud pressed their faces
10 the loved soil Of their native country, and
collected "A little earth TO take with them
into exile: aud few pressed their lips to
the European side ri the cold brick pillar,
as II kissing good bye forever 10 all that II
symbolized.
AT last the stern order Strosar Form
ranks !! from the under officer OF the convoy
put su end to the rest and the leave taking,
and at the word 'Marchp' the grsy-costed
troop OF exiles and convicts crossed them
selves hastily all together, and, with a con-
fused juggling OF chains snd.leg-fetters, moved
slowly away past the boundary post into ST.

forth the astounding reply that the stranger
himself was the president aud that he de-

friendly. The settlers would not be-
, iieve in their friendlness. though un-
Ill they saw the soldiers coming up be-
hind them. Then they threw open
their cabins. and told us Of an Indian
raid Five dead horses outside OF the
cabin confirmed their story and we i'm.
mediately started in pursuit. We went
into camp that night on the ground
where the old timers said, the Indians
had been the night before. On the
strength OF that Information We recruits
didn't sleep well-at least d dn't.
THE next morning the Indian scouts

we were in the saddle. We prepared

is wonder that we didn't excited as
we were, but our captain managed to-
restrain us. He discovered Just in
tine that they were our scouts return
ing. The mistake arose from the fact
that they had thrown aside the clothes
they wore when they left camp and
were riding in true Indian style nearly
naked.
And the fring'-the story teller
chuck led "the firing was done by these
seven Indian scouts. who had caught
one poor : ouX in bathing. They had
fairly riddled him with bullets and then
cut his scalp into seven pieces That
night they had war dance over it,
and that was not the worst of it either.

.ork for Women and Children.

One Of our consuls in Germany makes a re-
port 10 the department OF state on the kinds II
labor in which women and children are en-
gagged IN the country where be resides. II
b"sed on the last annual report Of the factory
inspectors OF the German empire, and shows
that very large number Of women and chill
dren are employed not only Ia manufactures
Of cloth, matches, candy, and preserves, but
in brick yards, Zinc and iron smelling estsb-
lishments, lime and cement works and the
building and repairing Of railroads In the
tobacco and candy factories large proper.
iIon OF the work is done by children between
tue ages OF u and IA years, though many
who are much younger are employed.
In many OF these places the heat is great
aud the women work with their feet aud
limbs uncovered. Those who work in brick.
yards, about lime and cement kilus, in smelt-
inRworks and on railroads can not wear
skirts OF anv considerable length and are gen
orally bare footed. The women receive much
smaller paw than the men, and. as conse-
quence. have poorer food. In many cases
they live chiefly on black bread, so that they
can have money TO spend In fnery Many
employers state that women are cheaper than
machines for doing various kinds Of work
They sre also cheaper than draft animals for
moving brick, ores, and dirt There is no
trouble in finding women for doing these
them 10 domestic service. as they can do a.

hours

10 state positively that they are bad In
most parts Of this country thousands OF
young children are at work for hire when aI-
parently they should BE- al school In Chca-
20 and other large cities thousands OF women
are engaged In employments that are un-
suitable 10 them, though they are less ob.
Jectionable than those in which females are
engaged In Germany. Many persons are all
vocating the enactment Of laws prohibiting
the employment OF children in factories. But
the question is. What Is To be done with
women aud children who are unprovded for.
1t they are prevented from working aud thus
earning money TO support themselves they
must starve or the creature called the state
must feed clothe, and shelter them. The
creature called the state Is made up OF many
individual members. These individuals are
generally employed In supplying their own
wants. and thew are ordinarily kept pretty
busy thereat. They do not see why they
should give a large share Of their earnings
for The support OF the wives and children Of
other men. Thy fail To see why the Dumer-
Gus progeny Of shiftlcss people. incapable OF
supporting themselves, should be chargable
