A RUSSIAN ADVENTURES. First a FOrSer and Card Sharp, Fi- nally a Murderess-A Well-Played PersonattOn.


 From the New York Sum-
 About fifteen years ago young woman of noble birth, Miss Goolak-Artemovska- ya, went from Volhynia to St. Petersburg, and soon became a figure in the sociable circles of the capital. Her youth, beauty, refinement and Sympathetic nature," as the Russian papers describe it, attracted to her drawing room & host of admirers. Officers of high rank and young nobles paid homage to her. Miss Goolak-Arte- movskaya lived in high style; stories were current in the city about vast possessions in the Crimea and the Caucasus which she had inherited, to account for the luxuries in which she indulged herself. But her days of glory were of short duration. One morning several military officers of high rank discovered that they had been taken advantage of by the beautiful Miss Goolak- -Artemovskaya at the innocent game of dooratchky (a most simple game of cards which is very common in Russia), and that since they had been acquainted with her they had lost many thousands of rubles. They reported their case to the police authorities, who found that the lady possessed no property, and that she ae- rived the means of high living by fraud, not only heecing her admirers at the card table, but even forging was traced to her. She was condemned to deprivation of all personal rights and exiled to Siberia, in the government of Irkutsk. A romantic incident was connected with her fate. A young noble, one of her admirers, to whom she had paid but little attention in her palmy days, attested his true love for her. He married her in prison and fol- lowed her voluntarily to the place of her exile.
 When the couple arrived in Irkutsk ear 1y in 1880 the governor of that province assigned to Goolak-Artemovskaya dwell ing in an isolated village about hundred versts from the city; her husband, as 6 free man of good education, easily found employment in the city of Irkutsk. He made his condemned wife's existence as bsarable as his means allowed, spent on her his salary and all the little income he derived from his possessions at home, and considered himself happy when he could spend few days with her in the village when he was off duty. But her isolated life did not suit the willy lady; she wanted to live in the city of Irkutsk, where life is gay and opportunities for sociability com paratively plenty. The means to attain this end she found in religious hypocrisy. She acted as very plous and penitent woman, went to church as often as oppor- tunity presented itself and became known in the neighborhood for her 'tgodliness. Through this she attracted the notice of Bishop Benjamin, who, making his official rounds in the district, met her at her vil- lage. As he spoke to her words of com fort and religious cheer, she began crying and said that all she desired was to expiate her sins at the foot of the altar. But un- l fortunately this consolation was denied her, since in the little church of the vil-

 A Japanese boy who works in San Francisco clubhouse recently sent the fol- lowing quaint complaint to the officers: "To-day went to the club to get my wages. The steward, MT. John, ordered me to leave with many expeditions of abom- inable oaths which a man of some honor can't restrain his passion from revolt on such 8 violent shower of curse. Anger was beyond my control, and involuntarily I returned my share of compliments, upon which he snatched the potato-masher and was brutal enough to give me two severe blows on my person, and infiicting quite painful injury. Through all this affair I was never offensive. When I went there to demand the money to which I was entitled he unjustly enjoined me to get out. That is an unreasonable move ment, and cannot fail to hurt a mans feelings. Whatl Without being satisfied with that insult, made my blood boil and the veins burst with successive onslaught of ignominous swear. My re- turning was completely e1cusable, for to be indifferent to such an ignoble treat ment denotes that one is a stranger to the sense of honor; and SO he ought to have relished it with abashed submission. And what againl The tongue-the counte- nance was not capable enough to wreak his savage fury-and then he resorted to that final step of violence as though I was mass of clay, insensible to disgrace and roin

Cultivation ofrhe Voice,
From Harper's Bazrr.l


 Every one may not be blessed by nature with pleasant voice; but most every one can by endeavor attain something like it. the inspiration, the respiration, the modu- lation, the pitch. Some may be condemned even in the cradle to the tones which make you wish to clap your hands to your ears; but a vast number, if taken in time can be made. to say the very least not unpleasant. if not exactly delightful. It needs early training and constant care to bring about the metamorphosis. From inc beginning the child should be allowed to produce no raucous tones, to indulge in no thick euun- citation, to utter TO slovcnly slur of sound: the elders should soften their own voices when within the child's hearing, if al nc oth- CT time, should open their own most flute like stop, and should speak with slow gen. tleness and precision not precise enough for affectatiOn, but uuite enough go for thor ough dIstinctuess and accuracy, and for every sound to be given its full value \ servant of rude tones should never be al lowed about child, nor any one else of q dissgreeable habit of voice. Even the nightingales and canaries are taught by another bird of perfect throat: and if the bird learns thus by naturally taking the sound it hears the child will do the same. A child once attuned by the hearing and neighborho9d of sweet voices tu take an agreeable pitch, and whil,- the tonepro- ducing organs are still flexible, can be cor rect-d in any deviation from purity and pleasantness, till the deviation becomes all but impossible. This certainly is not achieved by simple effort: it is to be done only by unremitting observation and un- ceasinG correction. 4 har tone should be modified upon the spot, coarse cry abandoned, sharp one softened; modula- tions should be taught, giving the speaker | gamut on which to play and prevent mo notony, for we all know how uncomfortable is either reading or speaking in one dull unvarying drone. It is often desirable, ,es- | pecially in the case of children who have | had throat troubles and recurring catarrhal | colds. to have them taught enunciation by | professional elocutionist; that is, the pro- | ducing and managing of tone.
 There is no young voice that cannot be improved by advice and training at the hands of one capable of giving both; this is eminently true during the first dozen | years of life; but it is true also, until close | upon the Both year. In the matter of sing | ing voices, baritones have made for them | selves tenor voices by slow determination and practice; sopranos have closed a lower and opened a higher register; and if such | miraculous work as that has been done | with the delicate and difficult singing voice, surely all that can be required of the speaking voice is possible every day and all that is required is much less than anything l of this sort. Many of the great orators of | antiquity are known to have overcome se- | rious defect of speech, either in delivery of ! the voice, as in Tully's case, or in articu- lation, as in the case of Demosthenes, and that when they were no longer chil- | dren.

STATE EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.
 Worlds Fair matters are rapidly get ting into shape. General regulations con- corning State buildings and State exhibits have just been issued. They require that all exhibits entered competitively shall be in the general exhibition buildings, not in State buildings; that no authority shall issue for the erection of State buildings until after application for desired space shall be favorably acted upon by the fair authority and plans submitted, with speci- fcations, shall be approved; that there shall be no manufactured goods in any State building except canned or potted shall contain motive power, in other words, shall not be devoted to manufac- turing. The State buildings States or territories being free to use a building in common-will, therefore, be of architectural style and character har- monious with the great general buildings, and will be used mainly for State head quarters, for social purposes and for such exhibitions as do not come under the gen. eral classification.
 This seems reasonable. There is, how ever, some disposition to allow California to act without these restrictions for the following reasons, among others Califor- mia is more than a State in the richness, variety, semi-tropical character and oopiousness of her products. Her wealth, whether agricultural, horticultural or mineral, makes her an empire. No other State in the union compares with her val leys in their vineyards, fruits and flowers, with her mines in their ores and gems, with her waters in the diversity of their contents. No other incurs equal expense in making a representative exhibit. nor will any friendly rival contend that gen. eral rules affecting others in belts ought literally to be construed concerning Cali fornia.
 And it may be added that no other State has such glorious climate.

 New England farmers complain that they cannot get men to work for them, al though they offer as much as $25 month and board. The Atlanta, Georgia, Consti- tuition says that it is very. different in the South, where all the farm labor that is needed can be readily employed at from S to $10 per month and board. Neverthe- less Southern farmers complain that they are not prosperous, and wonder now their Northern competitors can afford to pay high wages, and put money in bank, and loan it out on Western farm mortgages. The trouble, ip the Constitutions opinion, is that Southern farmers are still too much dependent upon the single crop of cotton, extending the area devoted to it, despite low prices, neglecting food crops, and run. ming the risk of possible droughts and speculative combines. What should be done is to decrease the cotton output, and diversity the products, paying special at tention to food crops. s'This course,n i

1t was an able speech and a full answer

Q wild freak, 80 different from their
