Schelm interrupted hun most humbly:
''To be sure, Your Excellencyp' But you
might be indulgent with the weakness and
the heart of man who does not claim that
he is faultless. You Yourself had an
nounced to me the Cars displeasure and
aroused my wrath. Your nephew had
mortally insulted me. 1 was furious
against all who bore your name. The Counts
name was mentioned, and 1 was delighted
to know that he was involved in this con-
spiracy. II, in my anger, 1 went too far,

conspiracy in my hand, and it was surely

to avenge myseli!'

''You can return to your roomsF"
Schelm Withdrew with low bows.
Just then the Countess Lanin was an

and more attached to her, the more services
he had rendered her.

Schelm's cunning had we'll calculated the

Cars person on Count Lanin. The latter

the General could no longer resist; he
yielded so far that Schelm's punishment
should consist in his banishment to Beresof,
on the western frontier of Siberia. Jana,
however, was not quite satisfied. Her noble
soul wanted Schelm to be entirely forgiven.
She besought the General until he gave
way, after long resisting her. He yielded
to Jana as to spoilt child. 1t was finally
agreed that Schem should lose his Office
and his salary, but should be allowed to re-
turn to Petersburg and to live there as q
private citizen.

LEGEND OF THE SIOUX.
A Wonderful Plant That Only Grows on
Custer's Battle Field.

A strange legend comes to the Denver
Republican from the Sioux, who alone can
tell the true history OF that deadly ambus-
cade They say that on the hillock where
Custer fell now grows a plant never seen
there before "a curious plant with tall,
slender leaves, curved in the exact form Of
a saber, with edges so sharp as to inflict
keen wounds upon unwary hands, and those
who pluck it once soon drop it, so strangely
cold and clammy are its leaves. 1t bears q
golden-hued, heart-shaped blossom, and in
the center is one small spot OF brilliant red,
like drop of blood. The Indians regard it
with superstitious awe. They cali it Gus
ter's heart" and cannot be induced to touch
it, claiming that the blossom crushed in the
hand leaves blood-red stain impossible to
remove,

Harper's baZar.
A little boy, who. is nothing if not dill
gent in the study of history, was one day
reciting huently on the subject of ''The
Battle OF Bunker HILL" He had it by
heart. The little voice piped high as he
described how ''the patriot rank lay
quietly behind their earthworks until
the redcoats were within ten rods, when
Prescott shouted Fire! A blaze oil light
shot from the redoubt, and whole pantaloons
of the British fell. The survivors," But
there was no chance to dispose of the sur
vivors A shout went up from the class.
Alter all, "platoons" looked much like
"pantaloons."

Rules for Old Aca

In reply to a correspondents request
for Dr. Richardson's Rules for Old
Age" we republish them as follows,
although we don't indorse all of them:
When old age has really commenced,
its march toward final decay is best
delayed by attention to those rules of
conservation by which life is sustained
with the least friction and the least
waste. The prime rules for this pur-
pose are: To subsist on light but nu-
tritious diet, with milk as the standard
food, but varied according to season.
To take food, in moderate quantity.
four times in the day, including a
light meal before going to bed. To
clothe warmly but lightly, so that the
body may, in all seasons, maintain its
equal temperature. To keep the body
In fair exercise, and the mind active
and cheerful. To maintain an inter
est in what is going on in the world,
and to take part in reasonable labors
and pleasures, as though old age was
not present. To take plenty Of sleep
during sleeping hours, To spend nine
hours in bed at least, and to take care
during cold weather that the tempera-
ture of the bedroom is maintained at

Poachine by Officers.

AS entered NJ. Labouchere's hall.
| was amused to observe broad back
ed German officer, quartered on him,
III the act of mounting the back stairs,
bent nearly double under the load of
roebuck, the legs of which he wore
round his neck, and which met under
his chin The officer had evidently
been doing little poaching, unbe-
known to his host.
Poaching was indeed, during the
war, quite the order of the day, the
imperial preserves at Versailles, st.
Cloud, st. German and everywhere
else, being apparently open to all COM
ers. At the Versailles restaurants
pheasants and harcs were considerably
below the price one is charged for
them ordinarily in Paris. In fact,
supplies of all kinds, which were kept
out of Paris by the siege, found their
way to Versailles and other suburbs,
where the officers of the besieging
army, and every one else who had
money about him, could live on the
fat of the land. Not even sea fish was
wanting. -Blackwood's Magazine.

Giant Worms.

The work of earthworms, in the Cd.
erations of nature, is very important
one. Darwin has shown us that thew
are constantly occupied IN making the
soil more mellow by perforating it
with their galleries, and that they en-
rich it by collecting in these subterra-
mean passages earth that has been sub
ject to change in their intestines, and
also leaves, which have fallen to the
ground and are dragged into
their retreats. But if these little
beings can accomplish such won
ders, it would be interesting to
know whether the Megascolides
Australis, an earthworm of Au-
stralia, has like mission. This crea-
ture is of the size of an ordinary adder,
and at least six feet long.
A writer in La Nature saws that it is
usually to be found on the banks of
small rivers. though it occasionally
seeks the open country. where one may
come upon it by pulling up a stump
or upturning the earth. 1t is not an
easy matter to drag this worm from
the winding galleries which form its
retreat 1t glides about the sinuous
passages with great rapidity, initiating
It's anterior and posterior extremities
at will, and thus bracing itself against
the walls, which it renders Shiny by a
secretion from its own body. Its moist
substance slips easily through the
hands which would retain it, and
when once fastened to the adhesive
walls of its home, it can only be re-
moved by breaking its length in two.

The old saying, ''In time of peace
prepare for war;" is as applicable in
regard To fires as to the movements of
armies. Every family who is living in
a house, from the sleeping rooms of
which there is but one way of egress.
and that near the chimney, is running
a terrible risk. Double windows are
a source of comfort in cold weather,
but what if they are SO solidly nailed
on as to imprison the occupants in case
of fire. Often, however, the windows
are SO far from the ground as to afford
no safe way of escape. A fire escape
or ladder securely fastened should be
within reach of all rooms not acces-
sible in more than one way from the
inside, or at least something in the
nature of rope ladder or that could
be used for one should be kept inside,
with arrangements for securely fasten-
ing it at short notice. One'may live
in house years without any need of
such precautions, or they may be
needed within a week. = Lewiston

How to stop Rlsedinr

Some persons have a tendency to
bleed, no matter how slight the cause.
A small cut, scratch or the extraction
of a tooth will cause profuse bleeding,
and sometimes endanger life. When
from the latter cause, take little
powdered chalk, roll it up in lint in
the form of a cork or plug, dip it in
spirits OF turpentine and press it firmly
into the cavity. Change it every ten
or fifteen minutes until the bleeding is
stopped. Let the last plug remain in
over night, and then do not pull it out.
but wash the mouth in tepid water UNI
til it is loosened, using cold water af-
ter the first few mouthfuls. Bleeding
from the nose is seldom serious, ex.
cept in old persons 1t is often good
in children, if not too copious. If
symptoms of faintness ensue let the
person sit right up, battle the face and
neck with cold water, or dash cold
water in the face, or better still, take a
cloth or towel, dip in cold water and
bandage the forehead and raise the
arms as high as possible over the head
or cross them firmly behind the back.
This action has the effect of contract
ing the muscles OF the neck and di-
minishing the rush of blood to the
head. In very obstinate cases pinches
of very finely powdered alum may be
inhaled, or alum watersnuffed up the
nostrils. Plugging the nostrils should
not be resorted to unless by physi-
cian,- for if not properly done the
blood, instead of being stopped, finds
its way to the top of the throat and is
swallowed. Boston Transcript.

At the recent annual dinner Of the
Pittsburg Press CLUB, George s. We'll
shons st. Geo. one Of the best known
and withest newspaper men Of the
state, got off the following in response
to the toast The Reporter"
There are three grand divisions"
Mr.. Welshons said, in newspaper
work-journalists, reporters and edi-
tors. Speaking more accurately, there
are three stages of development A
journalist is calf reporter. He is
reporter in the miniature tadpole
stage, when his head is so big that it
takes all the rest of his person to shove
1T around. If he is lucky, by and by
he becomes reporter. After report
er's legs wear out they make an editor
out of him. The final stage of frog,
you know--the extreme removal from
the tadpole-is the bullfrog, too stiff
to jump, too old and tough to eat,
who just sits on the bank and bellows.
That is an editor.
I'm the old days the editor called a
man chicken thief nowadays the re-
porter finds the feathers in his back
yard. The weapon of the old time edi-
tor was the epithet; that of the modern
reporter is the evidence. What the
editor used to assert the reporter now
proves.
'lf the. people who complain of
what the reporter writes about them
would only consider what he does not
write about them, they would shrine
him In the friendliest corner of their
hearts. The waste baskets in daily
newspaper Office of any town do more
to keep its citizens in good repute than
any other agency, excepting the fear
of the law and the hereafter. Not all
that the reporter writes is truth. He
is not infallible himself, and those
who are the sources of his information
are much less so. There are very
many men who cannot tell straight
story. There are others who do not
try to. The man who tells the story
to the reporter is usually an interested
party. He has purpose to serve in
metamorphosing this or suppressing
that. The reporter has no desire ex-
cept to get the truth accurately and
completely, and to write it quickly and
entertainingly.
"All men do not love the reporter,
and I am glad of it. The fear and ha-
tired of bad men is as a chaplet above
his brow. It is the assurance of his
honesty to his badge of honor as ser
want of truth. If the time ever comes
when all men love the reporter, it will
be time to bury him. He will have
forgotten his mission, betrayed his trust
and shamed the noble fellowship OF
men who have made the white cross OF
the Pittsburg reporter the decoration
of legion of honor. Exchange.

The Prince Of NAMES.


The prince of Naples, the future
king OF Italy, if that country is des-
tined to have another king, is describ-
ed as silent, cold and stoical Young
man, overburdened by a scientific and
philosophical education. He is. more
over, a hard working soldier He
never smiles, and salutes rarely 1t is
needless to say that lie is not popular.
1t may be that he has simply Under
taken to ape Won Moltke. Two stories
are already told of him which are sun
posed to give an indication of his char
acter. When he was about ~ years
old he had somewhat violent quar-
rel with his cousins and other children
belonging to the court You are
lucky, said the youngster to them,
with rage, that am not yet king. If
was would have the heads of every
one of you" When he was Is years
old he was present at some expert
ments with dynamite cartridges. One
of the cartridges exploded, bespatted
him with mud and wounded him
slightly. An officer beside him was
seriously hurt The prince never
budged and never moved muscle.
while the officers around him stood
aghast. "What is the matter, gentle
men2" said he, in scolding tone.
THE explosion of cartridgel That
happens every day. Two men wound

made for. Let us help our comrade
