 Severe Plainness of .Tolstois Home.

 On arriving st the house Count Tolsto, showed me into little room on the right hand side of the entrance. 'sThere," said he, ''you can accupy that-sleeping in the little library among the books, and you can dress in the adjoining room where I dress" The dressing room was also the sitting roor and work room of the count. In the recer by the window lay the shoemaking tool with which he used to employ himself; near the door was washstand and mirror.
 'Perhaps you would like to wash now," said he, opening the washstand. "You can wash here. When you are done you can empty the water out so," and, suiting the action to the word, the count stepped out on the raised terrace in front of the house and flung the dirty water out into the gar den. This was done so naturally, and with such an evident unconscious confidence that 1t was the right thing to do, that you could not feel more than 8 momentary inn pression to the incongruity of the novelist, philosopher and nobleman, emptying his dirty water for the convenience of his guest.

Tb0 Directory fOr Nurses,

Now we'll advanced in the third year of its existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for 8 new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as
 many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been
 given all parties, is sufficient proof that the
 selections have been judicious. Generally
 the calls for Nurses have been answered
 promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand
 has been greater than the Directory could
 supply. Upwards of a hundred names are
 the best nurses in this city and vicinity,
 both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted | their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform | the duties they undertake and for conn., pen- | sation below what the services of the Grad- uated Nurses will generally command. It is | the object of the Directory to supply ! promptly competent nurses, both male and | female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant The fee for furnishing a Nurse is small and much
 valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when 8 nurse is
 needed, either in emergency or for future ! service.
 | Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and all calls by telegraph, mail
 or telephone will receive prompt attention by

Dr. Norman Kerr of England began investi- gations in 1870 to disprove the statement of temperance advocates, that 60,000 people die annually in England from the effects of strong drink. The result of his inquiry proves that the truth was only half told. He estimates the number of deaths annually from intemperancs to be 1900 in Great Britain, 142, 900 in France and 80, 0e0 in the United States. or 342, 900 in an aggregate population of 112, ,o00,0 900.
 Astonishing are the results lately recorded by J. F. Nomack, an Austrian chemist, after three years of study of a sensitive plant from the tropics. The leaves of this plant are in pairs on opposite sides of the stem, and with varying atmospheric conditions they describe many different angles and curves, from which rain, fair or clearing weather, increasing or decreasing cloudinsss, coming thunderstorms, earthquakes, winds and even their force and direction, as well as rising and falling tem- perature, have been predicted with surpris- ing accuracy for at least two days in advance. tiveness to hitherto unknown substance in the cells on the upper side of the leaves. How divorces are sometimes obtained in l Chicago was strikingly illustrated in a police | court there the other day. A man was on ! trial for bigamy, and his first wife came into court and testified that she lad secured di- l vorce from her husband because he had been sent to the penitentiary, but had not brought | her paper to court because her lawyer told 1 her not to. The judge insisted on seeing the | document and she produced it. It contained \ no date, no judges name, no mention of any court and nothing to distinguish it from a common sheet of type-written paper. It was
 a poor imitation of decree of court, without seal or signature. The woman had paid $25 for it, and supposed that she had been di- | vorced.
 l California comes to the front with new fuel. It has been demonstrated there that
