samson's Complaint.

Mr.. and Mrs. Delaney Robinson re-
side in a cozy flat. or apartment" as
they prefer TO call it. in New York
city. and are not without pretentions to
elegance. The janltor is colored
citizen called Samson-not an inappro-
pirate name. by-the-way. for the guar
dian of building. whose strength may
be supposed to lie in his locks. Sam
son is a former Pullman porter. and a
most efficient servitor, keeping the
halls in immaculate condition, aud the
brass-work shining like the pillars of
the Golden City. But. perhaps on ac-
count of his late autocratic position, he
expects to be treated with great defer
ence rs an individual of large import
ance. In this view the Robinsons'
cook, sharp-tongued Irish girl, does
not share; and every time the coal
scuttles or the groceries go up or down,
there is wordy encounter, in which
Samson is invariably worsted. The
other morning matters reached a crisis.
His wounded dignity could stand it NO
longer, and he stopped Mr.. Robinson
on the front stairs to complain. What
he wanted to say was that the girl as
sumed as much authority over him as
if she were one of the ladies in the
house, but his manner of putting il
was, to say the least, infelicitous. He
said: MIR. Robinson, that girl oil

The women of New York.

In many respects this fair army diff
fered in appearance from the line of
fair, purchasers to be seen in Balfi-
more. The New York woman is, II
think, trife stouter and q degree
more gross of figure than the average
Baltimore woman She has. too, 4
ruddier complexion. owing. L am told
to the prevalence of the fad for gym
nastics and love of wines and beer
Her cheeks are usually rosy. her figure
round, aud her feet large and unsliape-
". And. besides that, the New York
woman has q weakness for paint and
powder that is seldom met with else
where. She dresses. too. in loud eolors.
and if you concluded that the half of
these gaily-dressed women of the
streets of New York were actresses You
would be greatly in error. The stage
is numerously represented in the
throng and the stage has left its mark
on the street costume of the Gotham
fashionables. But don't fancy that all
of these fancy colors are worn by stage
celebrities. Indeed, it is surprise TO
the stage beauties of the other side that
the fashionable women of New York
are so fond of decking themselves out
with gaudy colors and diamonds, which
attract SO much comment.-N. i. Let

The Resources OF Hudson's Bay.

A Canadian surveyor who was en-
gagged in an official expedition to Hud-
sons Bay in 1885 and 1886 says few
people have any idea of the resources
of this great sea. Its shores are the
haunts of the musk OK, the moose, the
reindeer, the red deer, the white bear
and his black brother, the otter, the
mink, the black fox, also the silver.
gray, and white varieties, and other
valuable fur-bearing animals. Its
waters are teeming with the most valu-
able varieties of water mammals and
fish. He has seen the bay as far as the
eye could reach appear one undulating
mass of white porpoises. Both the
hides and the oil of these are valuable.
In some parts of the bay and in the
straits the shores of the islands are
swarming with walrus. 1t has been
reported by Prof. Bell that one island
on the east coast was found to be thick
ly strewn with the ivory tusks of the
walrus. The tusks are valuable.
though the chief value of the walrus
lies in the hide. which weighs on the
average 800 pounds, and is worth from
10 to 20 cents per pound.

A Russian General Describes the
Russian Soldier.


Sincere and unaffected love for his
monarch. profound religious piety in
timately united with the idea of the
Tsar and of the father-land. attach
ment to the father-land. unlimited con-
fidenee in his chiefs, very strong esprit
de corps, and faculty of enduring
gayly and naturally the greatest priva-
tions-such are the most marked
characteristics of the Russian soldier.
To these traits must be added remark
able bravery and rare contempt of
death, combined with naive kind-heart-
edness and a general and indulgent dis
position. The Russian soldier Is dis
tinguished by good-humor that never
abandons him even in the most difficult
moment. BY his brotherly understand
ing with his comrades, and by his gay
and contented way of facing all the de-
crees of fate. Obedience is so deeply
rooted in the mind of the Russian
soldier that during my thirty years ex-
perience of the army do not remem-
Der to have witnessed one single case
of insubordination, either in times of
peace or in times of war.
The Russian soldier dies at his post.
I have seen him in winter on sentry
duty on the heights of Shipka die

ice; have seen him die on the march.
striding over the sandy desert. and
yielding up his last breath with his last
step; | have seen him die of his
wounds on the battlefield or in the
hospital. at distance of three thousand
miles from his native village-and in
these supreme moments | have always
found the Russian soldier sublime.
Although child of the plain, where
his eve rarely descries the most modest
hill, we see him boldly scale the top
most SUBMITS of the Caucasus, and
climb the rocks and glaciers of the
Thian-Shan, lighting all the time He
feels at home everywhere, whether in
the steppes of the father-land, in the
tundras of Siberia, or the mountains
and deserts OF central Asia. He has an
exceptional faculty of putting himself
at his ease wherever he may be, even
in places where others would die of
hunger and thirst
| have seen the Russian soldier at
home in time of peace, or during truces
in the enemy's country, rocking the
peasants child in the village where he
was stationed; L have seen him biv-
ouaeking III the desert, with his tongue
parched and burning, receive his ration
of quarter of litre of saltwater;
have seen him in heat and cold, in
hunger and in thirst, in peace and in
war-and | have always found in him
the same desire to oblige, the same
abnegation of self for the sake of the
safety and the good of others. These
special characteristics of the Russian
soldier-his self-denial. his simple and
natural self-sacrifice give him peculiar
powers as warrior.-Harper'S Mdga-

"Razors in the Air."

The southerner of the olden time
used to carry a bowie-knife for emer-
gencies, and as general thing he kept
the latch-string out for the emergency
to come in. The weoterner prides him
self on the revolver. 1t has seven bull
lets in its mouth and when it hegins to
talk its arguments are convincing.
The negro, however, has weapon, or
as he calls it. ''weapun." of his own

for use the blade is swung clean to the
handle. 1t is firmly grasped by the
back with four fingers on one side and
the thumb on the other, and when skill.

slashing in an incredibly short time.
Its advantages, as described by a
colored colonel in the Washington Post.
