OVER THE FENCE.
ETae Predicanaent of a Russian and Hi American Sweetheart.

sTae Predicament of 8 Russian and HIS American Sweetheart.
 l Perhaps one of the happiest of the long list of marriages between Ameri-, can girls and foreigners is that of the eldest daughter of Gen. Edward Bea1e, now the wife of MT. -Bakhmetieff, of Russia, secretary of legation at Athens Twelve or thirteen years ago, as arf at-
 tache of the Russian legation, the young foreigner met and at once fell desper- tate1y in love with Miss Bea1e. The young people carried on their 1oyemak- ling under the cover of friendly dark mess in Lafayette square, Washington. One night the watchman went his rounds, as usual, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, and, thinking the square to Ibe empty, carefully locked the gates land departed to his home. Uncon- iscious of this fact the lovers reused from their absorbing conversation and lprepared to leave the square. Their Iconsternation at finding themselves i'm lprisoned was nowise improved by the discovery that not a soul seemed to be Istirring on the streets who could come to their rescue.
 There was no help for it. The only way out of the difficulty was to climb the massive iron spike fence With great difficulty the young lady climbed to the top, when. to her horror, just as her feet sought to secure a resting place in the descent, the gruR voice of Ia policeman shouted menacingly in their ears. Rapidly giving instructions in French
 to Miss Beale to proceed with all speed possible and run for home while he en. Jagged the intruder in conflict, MT. tBakhmetieff successfully tusseled with the fellow until, happy in the know ledge that his instructions had been carried out, he gave himself into the custody of the officers, knowing that, las a member of a foreign legation, he
 would be liberated immediately upon
 arrival at headquarters.

How to Strengthen the Eyes,

A simple and excellent plan to preserve and strengthen the eyes is this: Every morning pour some cold water into your washing bowl; at the bottom of the bowl place a silver coin or other bright object; then put your face into the water with the eyes open and fixed on the object at the bottom; move your head from side to side gently, and you will find that this morning bath will make your eyes brighter and stronger and preserve them beyond the ordinary allotted time

cowARDlcE OF CROWDS.

Courage Is Not the Thing Lacking, put Presence of Mind.
 The Spectator has paper called the "Cowardice of Crowds The writer is deeply impressed with the very strange story of the poor woman who had a lamp thrown at her and was burned to death, while little crowd of people looked on and did nothing, writes Walter Besant. One poor woman alone attempted to put out the flames. It is a horrible story, but I should not have made it the peg for a paper on coward ice, because think that cowardics had nothing whatever to do with it. Why cowardice? There was no courage wanted to tear off your coat and wrap it around the burning drapery Of the unfortunate woman. Presence of mind was lacking, if you pleass, but not courage. Presence of mind, which means readiness to act for the best in sudden emergency, will prove to be wanting more and more as we de- part more and more from the prini- tive condition of man, wh ich is one of being always hunted for food by wild beasts, always hunting for food, and all ways fighting. Tn that condition man is full of resource; contrives a thousand stratagems, and meets a thousand dan gers. Remove from him the habit of hunting and the necessity of fighting. Make his life assured and easy, and he will infallibly lose the readiness and the resource in other words, the presence of mind-of the savage This, in fact. we have done. In moments of unu- sual, unexpected dangers, we are par alyzed. This is my reading of the con duct of the crowd which looked on while woman's clothes famed up and burned her to death

How to Eat Cucumbers.

Cucumbers should never be eaten with out vinegar and pepper. Otherwise the large quantity of woody fiber contained in them would create indigestion and fermentation. Oil and salt should not be used. They render cucumbers un- wholesome. But here is an excellent way to eat them: Peel, then cut into slices lengthways; sprinkle both sides with corn meal, pepper and salt, and fry them brown Cucumbers treated in this way make delicious dish.

How to Purify water

A saturated solution of permanganate of potassa will speedily cleanse foul water. About a teaspoonful to hogs head should be used. Another method is to put tablespoonful of pulverized alum into a hogshead of water and stir the water well. The impurities fall to the bottom and the water will soon pos sess nearly all the clearness and fresh ness of the finest spring water

Bells for Religlous Purposes.

The use of bells in places devoted to religious purposes is very ancient, dat ing many centuries before the Christian era. In China, long before the time of Christ, bells were hung at the temple gate and the worshiper on entering rung them in order to attract the atten- tion of the deity he was about to honor.
 Bells were common in India at the time

strength of some great corporation which
stretches its arms all over the state from
Red river to the gulf2 Or to create rivalry
between different organizations or brother
hoods Is it intended TO rekindle enthusi-
assn over the Lost Cause, " whose banners
were furled and lances broken a quarter of
a century ago. Surely not. The candidates
offered by tiremen, drummers and Exon
federateS are all sweet, worthy girls, but
each one has other means of procuring the
priceless boon of education. But there is
one, born in our midst, whose father died
in her infancy, whose mother has worked
bravely, uncomplainingly among us for
shelter and food for her little ones. Lottie
Cotton asks for this scholarship as her only
hope for advantages that may lift her above
drudgery. She has no aim or ambition in
life but to qualify herself to teach in our
schools. Now won't the good men and
women of the city, who have no special in
terest in any candidate, take up her cause,
make her the Fort Worth girl and,
though her cause seems hopeless, with one
great rally we may yet win for Lottie.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 10.-If there is one
road that feels it has more reason than any
other to be dissatisfied with the operations
of the Southwestern blind pool, it is the
Burlington. Ever since the pool was or
ganized that road has been doing compar-
atively little business in the Southwestern
Missouri river points, and yet it has been
repeatedly ordered to divert traffic to com
peting lines, particularly to the Rock Island
and Wabash. The orders came from the
advisory board, which, il accordance with
the agreement, is empowered to fix the per
centage each road is entitled to without
letting the roads themselves know what the
percentages are. The Burlington, which
has just been directed to turn over $50 cars
of freight TO the Rock Island, claims to have
diverted about 1000 cars to other roads
since the agreement went into effect with

bors 1t complains that the advisory
