A Rrntn Fathsr.

The city Of Kostroma, Russia, has q
sensation Of its own in the shape of q
cruel father, Egor Alexief Smirnoff by
name, and drosky driver by profession.
The son of Smirnoff, boy Of 10 years,
failed to pass the examination at his
school. Being afraid to come home with
the report of his i'll success he concealed
himself for two days. But his father
found him and chained him to the wall
Of a dark, moist, dirty room which was
full of vermin. In the corner Of the room
there was lair of rotten straw.
He was kept in that condition for fully
six days, until his mother could no longer
endure the sight of his suffering, and took
courage to report the case to the police
authorities. The boy was liberated and
taken to the hospital, and his father was
arrested. On further examination the
room in which the poor boy was chained
was found to be regular chamber of
horrors. There were rings fastened to
the ceiling and in the floor, by which
Smirnoff would hang up his children by
their hands and feet, or stretch them in
manner that they could not struggle
or protect themselves, when he inflicted
chastisement on them with a knout.-St.
Petersburg Letter.

How to Get Rid of Iceberrs.

One of the greatest dangers to Atlantic
navigation, and therefore of great prac-
tical interest to seamen, passengers and
owners of ships, is the possibility of col
hsions with icebergs This year these
huge products of Artic winters have
been unusually common, and it is stated
that more than twenty have been sight
ed in the course of twenty-four hours in
the track of steamers plying from New
York to Liverpool or the Clyde.
A correspondent in The London Times
makes suggestion that these icebergs
might be used as targets by cruisers,
and thus broken up and dispersed. The
suggestion is well received in England,
and it is urged that the British meteor
illogical department follow the example
of that of the United States, and mark
on charts the area within which icebergs
are to be expected. The captain of a
cruiser setting out with such charts in
his possession would have compare
lively easy task in finding where the
target foated at which he was to fire.

A Kittens journey,

Miss Amelia McLogan resides on
Fourth street. A couple of weeks ago
an old cat which made its temporary
headquarters in the house in which Miss
McLogan lives, was found to be the
mother of a dozen or so kittens one
morning, and four days after the arrival
of the brood Miss McLogan left for New
York to make some purchases for the
firm she represents. When she had gone
the old cat discovered one of her kittens
missing, and had been in a great stew
about it ever since. The young feline
was industriously searched for, but no
trace of its whereabouts could be found
until letter was received from Miss
McLogan saying that on unpacking her
trunks she found the little one curled up
and in good physical condition. She
gave the kitten to chambermaid, as
she did not care to bring it back. It
seems strange that kitten less than a
week old could live in such place.

Folding Napkins by Pattern.

Commercial enterprise has entered a
fresh field in the recent issue by New
York firm of paper patterns for folding
table napkins. This art has up to this
time been relegated to the buffers and
parlormaid's repertoires, and compet-
ency or the reverse in its accomplish
ment has frequently been one of the
tests of eligibility to service. Now,
however, this is done away with, and
the mistress of an establishment may
have the knack at her finger ends to
teach the merest novice in her employ.
1t is question, however, if this uni
versal knowledge will not deprive fash
ionable tables of one element of individ-
uality now impaired by the exclusive
napkin lore of some treasure of g ''Jeems"
or Martha.-New York Times.

Rampant White Cans.

The White Caps of New Mexico con-
tinue so audacious that Governor Prince
has issued proclamation calling upon
them to disband. He declares that if
they do not do so he will order out the
territorial militia, and if necessary call
upon the United States troops. This
band of regulators style themselves
knights of labor, and have organized
lodges throughout the San Miguel coun-
try, until they now have membership
of 1900. They have without any legal
cause destroyed hundreds of miles of
fences, turned herds of cattle loose,
burned thousands of tons of hay and de-
stroyed other property, while several
men who have opposed them have been
seriously wounded by some unseen as
sassin or have mysteriously disappeared.

Bogus Stamps.

A Hamburg firm is making fortune
by selling bogus Heligoland postage
stamps to collectors in Germany. AS
soon as the Anglo-German agreement
concerning the island became known
there was tremendous demand for the
old Heligoland stamps, and the prices
went up to forty-five and fifty cents
apiece. The firm in question at once
bought the Heligoland stamp for little
more than its value as old metal, and
has kept it a-going day and night ever
since. 1t has sold already 10000, and
has more orders in sight than it can fill.
At recent meeting of the postage
stamp bourse in Berlin a movement to
stop the fraud was started.-Exchange.

30 Sow COIN. for the rre.ent.

Superintendent Bosbyshell, Of the
mint, received fnJm Washington COM
munication from E. o. Leech, director
of the mint, conveying the disappointing
intelligence that the department at
Washington would not take any action
until next summer in regard to provid-
ing new designs for coins, under the bill
recently passed by congress. Director
Leeeh explains that he is so busily en-
gagged in the preparation of the report of
his department and the secretary of the
treasurys time will be so much occupied
for some months that the matter of
changing the models and designs of coins
cannot be taken up until late in the
spring.
Since the bill became a law Superin-
tendent Bosbyshell has been in receipt
daily of letters from persons anxious to
enter into the competition, showing a
widespread interest in the subject. As
it was hoped to change the five cent
nickel piece and get rid of the buzzard
dollar as quickly as practicable, the de-
lay will be received with universal re-
gret. ret.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Wilderness Cure for Impaired 81


Edward Sturtevant, son of D. W.
Sturtevent, of Albany, has been sojourn-
ing in the wilderness all summer near
Old Valley Dodge, northerly of Boon
vile. He lives in shanty alone, save
for occasional visitors who share his
hospitality.
Mr.. Sturtevant entered the woods last
June, at the advice of his physicians, to
seek restoration of impaired vision. The
experiment has proved SO advantageous
and beneficial that Mr.. Sturtevant pro-
poses to remain there during the coming
winter. He has sent home for his win
ter clothing to be forwarded to him.
Mr.. Sturtevant is machinist, and was
employed in the Edison electric light
machine works at Schenectady. In his
sylvan retreat he whiles away the time
in reading, fishing and hunting, and
seems entirely content with his surround
ings. The former vigor of his optic
nerves is rapidly returning, and he has
concluded to remain in the woods until
a perfect cure is attained.-Amsterdam

ser winding Clocks.


A chain Of synchronized self winding
clocks is being established here through
the efforts of Henry Denver, manager Of
the Western Union Telegraph company.
The time pieces do not obtain their mo-
tive power from electrical action, thus
being subject to hindrances resulting
from entire dependence on electrical
currents, but instead gains the necessary
force from the action of a fine spring, as
does an ordinary clock. Two small cells
of battery are placed in the top of the
case, connected with a magnet secured
to the lower part Of the movement. As
the center wheel, driven by the unwind
ing of the spring, advances, lever is
raised that unlocks the armature and al
lows it to spring back into position ready
for winding. When the lever drops the
circuit is instantly closed, the spring be-
ing wound by the pawl fastened to the
armature.
The action of winding breaks the cir
cult when the winding is completed.
The contacts are made so short that the
action of the battery is very slight, thus
enabling it to perform the work of wind
ing for over a year without renewal or
alteration. Each clock is provided with
simple attachment by means of which
its hands may be controlled automat-
ically by electricity. To secure absolute
uniformity of time throughout the city
the clocks will be connected with time
wire just before 10 o'clock each day.
During the brief period of connection
the standard clock at Washington
through the repeating lines takes pos
session of the wire, temporarily controIl-
ing all clocks in its circuit.-Springield
