Russia,s Horses and Roots

In Moscow, as well as everywhere in
RUSSIA, the horses are very fine and very
tast. They have the build of race horses.
with their slim legs and far reaching
necks; Even some of the droskies have
tuil blooded horses, and their drivers are
aole to obtain fancy price for their use.
aorses and boots are the two things that
russians seem to pride themselves upon.

The Nuisance of Cab.

A prater Is a common nuisance, and as
great a grievance to those that come near
him as pewterer is to his neighbors.
His discourse is like the Drawing of a
mortar, the more impertinent, the more
voluble and loud, as a pestle makes more
noise when it is rung on the sides of a
mortar, than when it stamps downright,
and hits upon the business. A dog that
opens upon wrong scent will do it
oftener than one that never opens but
upon right. He is as long winded as a
ventiduct, that fills as fast as it empties;
OF trade wind, that blows one way for
half year together, and another as long,
as If it drew in its breath for six months,
and blew it out again for six more. He
has no mercy on any man S ears or pa
thence that he can get within his sphere
OF activity, but fortunes him, as they cor
rect boys in Scotland, by stretching their
lungs without remorse. He is like an
earwig; when he gets within a mans ear,
ne is not easily to be got out again He
is siren to himself, and has no way to
escape shipwreck but by having his
mouth stopped instead of his ears. He
plays with his tongue as a cat does with
her tail, and is transported with the de-
light he gives himself of his own making

Soldiers Antiseptic Ammunition.

According to The Medical Press a use
full suggestion is being carried out by the
Netherland government, BY which pro-
vision will be made for supplying each
soldier during the time of war with a
cartridge containing some antiseptic
dressings. Each cartridge will be made
Of convenient size, namely, about three
inches in length by two in width, and
will be secured at one end with q safety
pin. The dressing contained in each will
consist of bandage about three yards
long, and two pieces of gauze, all of
which have been rendered antiseptic by
sublimate solution. Hence in the
event of wounds being received q ready
means would be at hand for the immedi-
ate application of antiseptic dressings.
Soldiers in the case of slight injuries
would probably at once avail themselves
of the dressings, and the latter could not
fail to be of much use to the surgeons
The idea is well worthy Of the attention
of the military authorities in this coun-
try, and might even with advantage be
adopted, as it has been for years past in
the German army. In the wars in which,
during the past few years England has
been engaged in tropical climates, the
early application of antiseptics to the
wounds received by the men was adj
United to be matter of the utmost i'm
portance by the army medical officers at

Tho French Moman,s Virtues.

The women of France are almost uni
versally misunderstood and misjudged,
because of the writings of such nOvelists
as Dumas fills and Feydeau. The French
woman is not a whit the inferior of the
English or American woman. The mid
die class woman in the United States is
better educated than the average woman
of the same class in France On the
other hand the French woman is more
active; she shares her husbands labors
and often, indeed, takes more than her
share. Often her labors begin in the
early morning. to end only at midnight,
or later still The French woman of the
lower middle class does not hold it be-
meath her dignity to perform the hum
blest household duties, while at the same
time she is lively, pleasant and always
willing to talk. She is as faithful to her
husband as any American or English
woman in the world, and It is the merest
delusion to suppose that family life in
France is undermined. - Mrs. Frank

The Voice Of NIAGARA.

In an article on Niagara Falls, an
evening paper observes, anent the mighty
roar of its waters: One can never forget
the effect of listening to this mighty
voice for the first time, nor is it an I'M
pleasant sound which assails the ear.
The roar is positively musical, they say,
and a few years ago a distinguished
American organist spent long time in
studying it. and trying to learn the meas
ure and compass of its tones. He finally
came to the conclusion that the deepest
tone made by the falling cataract was
that which would be produced by an
organ pipe about 100 feet in length, and
of propurtionate dimensions as organ pipes
are moe Now. 100 feet. which is
about the height of the falls (this varies
from 100 feet to nearly 1870 feetl, is much
longer than any organ pipe is made, and
the sound emitted by such pipe would
not be sensible to us as a musical sound.
Therefore our ears could not apprehend
the music of the deepest tones; and as
our ears are at fault. we give this deep
tones music such diScordant epithets as
noise and roar.
This story, according to one account,
seems incorrectly stated. The organist
in question suggested a sound not nearly
three octaves below thirty two feet c,
but about F sharp below that note. The
present writer tried to define the vast
harmonic hum Of the great waterfalls,
and came to the conclusion that the task
was all but hopeless, although steady
kind of tone seems to be maintained,
and certainly the imagination might
readily seize upon such note as the au-
thority in question named but whether
the indefinite sound could be described
as Of foundation or upper partial tone
character it would be altogether impossi-
bic to say.-LOndon Musical World.

While Capt. (afterward Sir Samuel
Brown was occupied in studying the
construction of bridges, with the view Of
contriving one of cheap description to
be thrown across the Tweed. near which
he lived, he was walking in his garden
one dewy autumn morning, when he
saw tiny SPIDERS net suspended across
his path. The idea Immediately occurred
to him that a bridge of iron ropes or
chains might be constructed in like man
ner, and the result was the invention of
his suspension bridge. So James Watt,
when consulted about the mode of car
rying water 10y pipes under tie Glide,
along the unequal bed of the river, turned
his attention enc day to the shell of a
lobster presented at table. ard from that
model he invented an iron tube. which,
when laid down, was found c~cCtual,7
to answer the purpose. Sir Iscmherj
Brunei took his first lessons in forming
the Thames tunnel from tie tiny ship
worm. lie saw how tie little creature
perforated tie wood with its well armed
head, first in one direction and then il
another, till the archwav was complete,
and then daubed over the roof and sides
with kind of varnish, and by COPYING
this work exactly on large scale Brunei
was at length enabled to construct lis
shield and accomplish his great engineer

A noiseless clock has been invented by
a Frenchman. In place of the usual
pendulum, the hands are set in motion
by the unrolling of chain, the end of
which is fastened to buoy floating in a
tank of liquid. This fluid escapes at a
uniform rate, and can be utilized to feed
lamp wick, thus giving the apparatus
the double character of a clock and
lamp. When the lamp is lighted the
necessary dininution of liquid takes
place by combustion, at other times by
carefully regulated dropping.-Homs

Three Yankee girls are here teaching
school, and I'll bet that some of our
widowers will marry them before the
year closes. Away back before the war.
when Yankee girls used to come south
and teach school, our widowers married
them as fast as they came. They were
smart, self reliant and economical. and
that is the kind of a wife a widower
wants.-Bin Arp in Atlanta Constitu-
