The society Men of Moscow the Most Reck-

From the New York sun.
Herr Won Proskowctz. an Austrian mo-
bleman and traveller, has just published a
bookful of stories concerning the bad
side Of Russian life as he saw il In a two
years trip through the country. The
most striking peculiarly Of Russian rail-
way travel. he thinks, Is the large number
Of deadhcads in the high-priced compart-
men of the coupes. Between Moscow
and ~. Petersburg he shared a first-class
compartment with n dragoon officer. The
guard took Herr Won Proskowetz's ticket,
but said nothing to the officer. For some
time after they were left alone together
the military man eyed the Austrian noble
man ~curiously, and finally asked:
"Did you really buy a first-class ticket"
Won Proskowetz confessed that he did.
"Too bad too bad!" calculated the off

and "a cigar. He is a good fellow and
doesn't bother about tickets"
Proskoweiz suggested that a dragoon
officer might do things that a foreigner
mightn't.
''les, that may he So" answered his
companion, but just think of the fun
you might have had with the Is rubles you
squandered on a ticket"
As the founder Of the Austrian society

Won Proskowetz collected man. statistics

by the cars subjects. From January 1,

Herr Won Proskowetz's opinion Of

Killed By a Fly.

Mrs. Anna Beatty, who lived with her
family in Bay View, Wis, died a most
horrible death the other evening. About
two weeks before fly got into one of
her nostrils, and it was some time before
she was able to remove it, and when she
did an icning sensation remained and
her nose and throat began to swell. She
became alarmed, and week ago Sunday
a physician was called. Since that time
Mrs. Beatty had been suffering in man
ner almost indescribable, and the doc
tors say similar case is unknown to
medical science. 1t is stated that soon
after she was taken sick maggots were
discovered in her nose and throat, and
for several days Mrs. Beatty had been un-
able to swallow any thing like food.
Her death was the cause of having been
literally eaten up by maggots. She died
In the greatest agony, and her affliction
was apuzzle to the doctors. Upon ex-
animation of the body it was found that
the partition of her nose was gone, hole
had been eaten through the roof of her
mouth, the soft palate had disappeared,
and the throat was frightfully eaten.

falls on them. This is the bridging of
streams by the use of boats. This, in a
rough way, may be accomplished by the
use of boats of commerce, as canal boats,
schooners, or any vessels of draft, or by
completely equipped train of pontoon
boats. These trains may be styled the
light and the heavy train, the one ac-
companying the main army and the other
the cavalry, and those who travel lightly
and move quickly. The experience of
the late war proved that what is known
as the wooden batteau is best adapted for
the former purpose and the canvas boat
for the latter A form of trestle bridge
is also used and engineer troops are re-
quired to be drilled in its construction.
Some of the duties above mentioned, as
torpedo practice, signalling and tele-
graphing, in large army may each be-
come a special branch of work for
special corps of men, while the construc-
tion of roads, keeping them in order or
obstructing the same in the face of the
advance of an enemy may be performed
by the pioneer corps. Therefore, it is
seen that an engineer officer or soldier is

a Wonderful Escape.

John G. E. Bridge, in letter to the
London Times, says: "The following
account of the escape of Christian Linda,
Lauterbrunnen guide, will interest your
readers
''Linda having accompanied a gentle
man as second guide over the Tschingel
glacier, was dismissed at the village of
Ried, his services being no longer re-
quired. He left Ried on Sunday, at day
break, alone, with the object of return
ing to Lauterbrunnen. He crossed the
Petersgrat, and instead of taking the
route of the Tschingel pass, he chose the
shorter one across the glacier between
the Mutthorn and the Tschingelhorn,
where he fell into crevasse about seven
or eight a. IN. on Sunday. On Wednes-
day morning-that is, seventy-two hours
later-a gentleman spending the summer
here, in ascending the Tschingelhorn
with Fritz Graf of Lauterbrunnen as
guide, passed the spot where Linda was
engulfed, and noticing an ice-axe on the
edge OF the crevasse, peered down and
saw Linda at the bottom. A rope
was let down which Linda was FORUM
ately able to secure round his waist.
With difficulty he was raised to the
mouth of the crevassse, but, being very
heavy man, his two rescuers were not
powerful enough to bring him to the sur
face. 1twas then decided that the gentle
man should remain on the glacier while
Graf obtained the necessary tackle and
assistance to rescue the ice-entombed
man. These were obtained at the Stein
berg hut, or chalet, and when Linda was
hauled up he was found to be nearly
dead.
During the seventy-two hours Linda
was in the crevasse he had no food, for
he was so tightly jammed between the
walls of ice he could not get at the pro-
visions he carried in bag on his back.
He was, however, able to lick the ice
with his tongue. 1t is estimated that he
was found at a depth of fifty feet. No
one will be surprised to hear that his
hands and feet are terribly frostbitten;
the marvel is that, situated as he was for
so many hours without food to sustain
animal heat, he was not frozen to death.
Again, it is remarkable that the rescuers
should have passed over not only the
exact spot where Linda fell in, but just
in time to save him. Linda is fifty-three
years of fage."

Ensilage Butter.

Alfred Hudson, leading Massachu-
setts farmer and dairyman, tells of an in
teresting experiment in the manufacture
of butter from the milk of the COWS of
his farm and those of neighbor who is
engaged in the same line of farming:
81 have always held to the opinion"
said he, "that the best butter that can be
made is obtained by feeding the COWS on
hay, grass and timothy. My neighbor
claimed that just as good butter was OBJ
tanned from the milk of COWS which were
fed with ensilage. Ensilage, you know,
is made by cutting up the corn stalk or
unripe grass. The corn becomes thor
oughly ripened. 1t is preserved all
winter by being buried in the ground,
and is cheaper food than hay. We
agreed to make test. | was to feed my
COWS on hay, and my neighbor was to
feed his on ensilage. We were each to
make twenty-five tubs of butter and send
them, without any stamp on the tubs or
mark by which they could be identified,
except a private mark known only to our
selves, to committee of experts in Bos-
ton. who were to select the twenty five
best tubs of butter. The plan was car
ried out. When the test was made, out
of the fifty tubs tested the committee Sc
lected the twenty-five tubs made from
the milk of my cows. They all agreed
that my butter had delicate and delic-
ious flavor which the other did not pos
sess. The result has thoroughly assured
me that l can obtain sufficiently
higher price for butter made from
cows which are fed on hay to more than
pay for the difference in the price of the
foOd.n

Petrified Monster.

The long continued drought in Central
and Southern Iowa has brought to light
the petrifed remains of some antedilu-
vian monster, over which the waters of
the Des Moines River have rolled for
centuries. The resting place of this orig
inal first settler is in the bed of the river
near the little village of Percy, in Marion
county. During the great drought of
three years ago, when the river was lower
than it had ever been within the memory
of white men, S. r. Dawson, gentle
man living near Percy, claimed that he
had found "queer thing" in the river
near the town. The present dry spell
proves that Dawson was right, and that his
'queer thing" is an extinct monster of
gigantic proportions. The head has be-
come detached and lies forty to fifty feet
from the body which is now about tif-
teen yards in length, notwithstanding
the fact that several joints are missing
At distance of thirteen feet from the
tip of the tail the stony monster is four

Cheap Labor in Mexico.

The erect, military figure of D. w.
Grubb, ex-Mayor of Indianapolis, was a
prominent feature of the Palmer House
rotunda in Chicago the other day. Mr..
Grubb has been in Mexico for seven
years, having conducted bank in the
mining district of Paral, chihuahua,
during that time. He had something
interesting to say about immigration.
"Mexico has always encouraged immi-
grafton" remarked Colonel Grubb, "but
in the case of the proposed negro exodus
from tina United States the Mexican
press has opposed it at every point. The
country has enough cheap labor, it con-
tends, and does not want any more.
Capital will be welcome, but of negroes
the country has enough
"You see, even colored men and
women from the South cannot compete
with peon labor. If l had my papers
here l could show you letter from q
representative Mexican, in which he
contends that poems are paid enough
when they get eighteen cents day. The
writer observes that all they want is six
cents for beans, three cents for corn,
three cents for candles and six cents for
clothing and the support of their fam
lies. This letter was written by the
owner of one of the largest haciendas, or
plantations, and was intended in good
faith. " San Francisco Chronicle.
