TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.

A Sehoolhouse iR Russia Blown Up by
Fanatics and Ten Children Killed-The
Object of Their ERmity Escapes.
LONDON, June S.-Advices from ST.
Petersburg say the schoolmaster of the
Tersk district has, by his liberal ideas
and teachings, excited the religious
frenzy of the peasant inhabitants of
the district, as they say in him power
which they considered inimical to
the conservative views they had
been taught and the interests they
deemed their duty to protect They
accordingly held a meeting and as a re-
suit they dug mine under the school
house, and during the morning session
when the room was filled with children
they proceeded to fire it. A ire
mendous explosion ensued and the
building was completely wrecked.
The noise at once attracted a
crowd and busy hands soon set to
work to bring the wounded and dead
children from the ruins. The scene
was pitiable in the extreme strong
men breaking down like their wives
and daughters when the corpse of some
little creature more horribly mangled
than the others was brought
out by Gender hands 1t was
found that ten childrea had
been killed outright and twelve
others have been seriously wounded
Some of these it is feared will not be
able to survive the injuries received.
BY curious coincidence the schoolmas-
ter against whom the whole affair was
plotted and whom it was sought to
remove escaped unhurt The fanat-
les believed he alone would be killed,
but they mistook the position in which
his chair was placed, as well as the
strength Of the powder they had placed
in the anime. Their stupidity, there
fore, has resulted in this fearful slaugh-

Keeping Farm Accounts Is Labor Hav-
ing Its Own Rewards.
A farmer is brought in contact with
things that ought to keep his mind
bright and active; yet many neglect
their splendid opportunities, and be-
come mere "clodhoppers, A few
minutes spent each day with pen in
hand is restful and educative, and that
is Just what the farmer needs to repel
mental rust In this line | suggest a
farm record as thing of great value,
and it can be kept with little trouble.
First, a map should be made of the
orchards, brooks and timber located.
In the descriptive notes accompanying
the map, give size of fields, kind cd
fence, and condition at the time Next,
open an account with each field, and
make notes during the year as occasion
requires. State what crop is growp,
when sown or planted, when harvested,
and what the yield was. If a short
crop, state the cause, as drought, frost,
rust, etc. If manure or fertilizer is APP
Piled, state when and how, ard the
quantity. If any new fences are built
give date and cost.
Such "A record of field could be kept
for several years on single page of an
ordinary account book, and wouh re-
quire but a few moments at a,time
three or four times a year. 1t would
be great pleasure TO be able az a
glance to tell just what field had pro-
duced each year for long series, how
long the fences had been built, how
often it had been in grass or clover, and
all about it, and such a record would
increase in value with each passing
year. am sure, also, that attention
to such points as these make a man a
better and more careful farmer, and
they certainly make him more intelli-
gent and happy in his work. A habit
of observation and attention to little
things is worth money to the farmer,
and such habit can be cultivated Just
as certainly as plant can. l know no

Mind Reading.

The feats of mind reading performed
by the late Irving Bishop were wonder
full, and savored a good deal of the
supernatural, though he always claimed
there was nothing mysterious about it.
Johnson,the phenomenal product of the
Northwest, has given some wonderful
exhibition, though skeptics have not
been wanting who denounced him as a
palpable fraud. There is another kind
of mind-reading not so difficult as that
attempted by Bishop and Johnson-to
read the mind of the public on a subject
of great interest. During the past five
years, 1.-The Burlington has carried to
