Illegitimates in Russia,

Some time ago midwife of Warsaw,
Skublinskaya by name, was brought to
justice, with several of her coadjutors,
for the crime of killing illegitimate
children. The woman and her helpers
called themselved The Society of
Angels" and engaged in the atrocious
work of ''despatching the little ones to
heaven" of course for certain con-
sderation paid them by the unfor-
tunate mothers or their friends. This
fact aroused discussion in all the
Russian papers on the fate of illegiti-
mate children in that country. The
mortality of such waits was found TO
be over so per cent, even among those
in the Government asylums in ST.
Petersburg and Moscow. Those asv-
lums keep the children for only a short
time, and send them to villages to be
raised in the families of peasants.
There they die in large numbers But
the number of such children as are
"despatched'' directly by professional
murderers like Skublinskava can hard
" be estimated. Only about three
weeks ago similar Society Of Angels"
was discovered in Wilma. The fate of
the unfortunate infants has raised
the question us to the causes for the
prevalence of such a crime. The
papers hint. as broadly as the strict
ness of the censor of the press allows,
that the cruel laws with reference to
waits are at the bottom of the whole
trouble. An illegitimate child in Rus
STA, if it ever grows up, has no stand
ing before the law. No matter what his
abilities or virtues. if by chance or by
natural endowment, he happens to be
possessed of ;>ny. there is no hope and
no prospect for him to do any good in
the world or for himself. The law will
not recognize him rs member of So
ciety. and he is tossed about and buff
fetted until he finds his way into some
gang of criminals passing their lives
in mine in the Ural mountains In
view of these facts it is no wonder that
sinful mothers regard it as a benefit
for their children to be despatched
to heaven before they grow up to live
in ignominy and suffering on earth,
and that angels" like Skublinskaya
should be found who have no scruples
to help sinful mothers Kidding them
selves of their children

OUR NORTHERN BOUNDARY.
How it Is Marked Out by Cairns, Mounds
and Pillars.

Formerly great difficulties were ex-
perienced in locating the exact line
which separates our country from that
belonging to the kingdom of her ma
jesty, Victoria l. Now all that has been
overcome. says the st. Louis Repub-
TIC. According to the treaty of
Client the British were allowed all the
land lying north of a point 4, ZOO feet
south of the forty-ninth parallel, thence
running west to the Pacific ocean. In
April, 1870 surveyors, at work es.
tablishing an Indian reservation, dis
covered the fact that great error had
been made in the calculations of the
commissioners who had established
the line 4, 700 feet south of the parallel
which, if followed west rs laid out,
would take in the British fort at Penn
blna. The surveyors communicated
this startling fact to the general gov
eminent and the secretary of the state
informed the British minister, where
upon new boundary commission"
was formed forthwith. Few of the
45, 100000 of people of the United
States at that time knew that our coun-
try was without northern boundary
line for two years following April, 1870,
but such was the case. During the
summer of the year last named con-
gress by joint resolution appropriated
100000 for carrying Oh the work of
establishing the true boundary.
By the end of 1872 the boundary COM
mission had done its work; stone
cairns, earth mounds. and wooden and
iron pillars had been set up at intervals
of from one to eight miles apart from
the Lake of the Woods to the Pacific
ocean. There are exactly 3S2 of these
landmarks between the Lake of the
Woods and the base of the Rocky
mountains. The Red River valley is
marked only with iron posts which are
set at the exact distance of one mile
apart. All the iron pillars used in the
contamination of this great work were
cast at Detroit, Mich. They are feet
high, 8 inches across at the base, and
3 inches across at top, cast hollow.
They were made hollow so that they
could be set permanently by driving
cedar posts through the hollows. Each
post is inscribed with this legend:
Convention of London, Oct, p, 1S1S''
When stone cairns were used they
were made feet high, Z feet square at
the bottom, tapering to 1-2 feet at
the top. The mounds of earth used as
marks mere made II feet square and
feet high. How many of the mounds
and cairns were built between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean
only the commissioners know; suffice
to say that rs long as stone, earth, and
iron will last the question of our north
ern boundary is settled.

How Verdict Was Reached.

Before Judge Stewart was elevated
to the bench, says the Baltimore Sun,
he had Il ease in the city court in
which he was fearful of being thrown
out of court, rs the opposing council
was cutting down his claim, as it
seemed probable that the jury. if they
gave him Il verdict at all would find
for less amount than 800. of which
the court could not take jurisdiction.
Lawyer Stewart resolved to put bold
face on the matter and demanded of
the jury for at least 1925. When the
verdict was rendered. Lawyer Stewart
was much surprised to find that it was
in his favor for &2S7. He afterwards
asked an acquaintance of his who was
on the jury how the verdict had been
reached. You see, Mr.. Stewart"
said his friend, 1--WE could agree upon
no amount, and finally it was resolved
that each juryman should write sum
on piece of paper, and the total
should be divided by twelve, which
should be the verdict. Knowing that
all the others were for a small verdict,
| wrote So, 000." On an other occasion,
Lawyer Stewart made bold, but rs
he believed. unsuccessful. claim for
verdict of 5000, and was correspond
ingly astonished when the jury gave
him $3.50 You see, Stewart" said
friend of his upon the jury, there
were ten Of us who would have given
you any amount you asked, but there
were two who wanted to give $3.50
only. Finally it narrowed down to
$50 against $3.50, the smaller amount
being championed by the two men,
and it was resolved to write the two
amounts on slips of paper and place
them in hat, which was to be held by
one of the two men while the other
drew one of the papers, the amount
written on it to be the verdict. This
was done, and the slip with $3.50 came
out, which verdict was accordingly
but you ought to have seen
the faces Of those two men," continued
the juryman, when | Informed them
that had written the larger amount
on both slips of paper"

which might stand as Il criterion of

much reputation with so little atfecta-

New York Working Girls.

Many columns, says a New York
letter, have been written about the work
girls of New York. They have been
described at one time as the most OPP
pressed people upon the face of the
earth, submitting to every condition of
hardship, and again they have been
described us the underpaid hirelings of
cruel capitalists. and all that sort of
thing. The average working girl in
New York is very different from these
descriptions. She is cheerful sort of
being, who gets up early. works late
look healthy and complains very little.
Sometimes she seems Il trlle CAV and
often she is lively. l recall just now
one instance of absolute cruelty on the
par. of her employer. and that is in
the case of a rich dry goods firm which
compels her TO stand during all the
hours of the day, with a short respite
ut noon of thirty minutes for luncheon.
As all Offset 10 this case | may, | think.
properly mention the rules of an ex-
tensive retail establishment up near
Twenty-third street. The salaries of
the saleswomen III this place are very
liberal. indeed, and white all the GIRLS
are compelled to be on time in the
morning there is no system of fines A
mere reprimand usually serves all the
ends desired. In summer every sales
woman is allowed two weeks OF vaca-
ton on full pay, and during the dull
season sac may take as m,my more
without salary. But in no case is she
compelled 10 do an amount of work
that is calculated to in, gre her health
or to Interfere with her enjoyment in
the evenings except ON Saturdays.
Does she l'Il on Iiie street? Well. if
she tlirlS Il little and ii does not inter-
