Rn..inn chiIdren in winter

But everything is very different when
the terrible Russian frost sets in. and hill
and valley alike become one great sheet of
white. Very bare and dreary do these
green. sunny slopes look in the winter
months. with few leatless trees standing
gauntly up through the drifts, and the
fierce cold wind bowling down the passes.
driving great showers of snow along with
it. No more light clothing no more bare
heads then. Every one. whether child
or grown-up, is mutiled in a great thick
sheepskin frock reaching down to the feet.
with big collar turning up all round the
face, till you can hardly see who il is.
But the little Russians are not afraid of
the cold. and have amusementS i'm winter
as well as in summer When the sun is
bright and there is no snow falling, they
can 90 out upon the hills with their sleds
for they have sleds there, of course. and
these little mountain people are quite as
fond of Them and as clever i'm managing
them, as any children i'm the world Fa-
nous sliding do they have down these
great slopes, and fine rosy faces do they
win by it, and wonderful appetites do they
carry home with them to their suppers of
brown bread and kdShd (buckwheat por-
ridge mixed with butter), after the fun is
over.
And in the stormy evenings, when the
grim northeast wind comes bowling over
the wild, lonely mountains, bringing with
il all the cold of the frozen wastes of 81
IBERIA, when the great flakes are falling so
thick and fast that no one can see an icnh
beyond the window, and far up among the
hills you can hear at times the crash of a
tree breaking down under the weight of
the snow-then is the time for the little
folks to cuddle around the warm stove,
and to roast chestnuts i'm the embers, and
for the older boys to make baskets or twist
ropes, and for the bigger girls to plat straw
mats. And then their old grandmother,
sitting at her spinning, on a stool in the
warmest corner, with a red handkerchief
around her dark. wrinkled old face, which
looks Just like an Oak-carving, will tell
them some quaint old fairy tale or some
story out of Russian history perhaps
about Ivan Nelik, who beat the Tartars,
or Peter the Great, who built st. Peters
burg, or the brave men who burned their
great city of Moscow to drive away Napo-
leon.
Sometimes the children take their turn,
and sing a funny little song about the
"white geese, as they call the snowtlakes {:
Daddy, daddy Winter,
let your white geese fly;
Send the wind TO drive them
All across the sky.
Bend the tossing pine-trres,
Make the hard earth split
Snug around the fireside
We don't fear hit!
And l don't suppose they do; for in
spite of their wild country and their rough
climate, those little Russians are very
merry race indeed.--Ddrjd Her IN No

\ peculiarly sad accident, which has
aroused the sympathy of the entire com
munity, was that which brfe the elder son,
f1allie, of Mr.. and Mrs. II. f. Bond last
Sunday afternoon. The lad, who was
about eight years old, and his younger
brother, were anticipating ride with their
neighbor, Mr.. II. c. Lane, and were in the
carriage while the horse was being hitched
up, when in some way Halle fell from the
back of the wagon and was SO severely in
iured internally that he soon became UNI
conscious and died at IL o'clock in the
evening, all efforts for his relief proving
unavailing. The funeral on "Wednesday
afternoon was attended by a large number
of Sympathizing friends and neighbors.
The fine little boy had passed through so
much sickness and had been the object of
so much care and anxiety, that he had be-
come even more than usually endeared to
his parents. This time it is one of the two
little boys; eight years ago it was all three
of the little girls who were fatally stricken
by scarlet fever.

Three burglars broke into John Watts
store at Hoosac Tunnel one night last
week and stole about $50 worth of goods,
including clothing which furnished them
complete new outfits. kilograms were
sent in different directions, and the thieves
were arrested at North Adams. On being
arraigned they pleaded guilty and were
bound over in the sum of $500 each. They
gave their names as Sculley, Staier and
Moore, and the former claimed to live I'm

An officer from Readsboro who examined
them was satisfied that they were not the
men who blew open the safe and obtained
the 500 at that place, as described in The

New York Is an object lesson Of reform in the
matter Of overhead wires. These wires and
their supporting poles in the recent storm fell
about the streets like trees in the path of a cy-
clone. The mayor of Baltimore in his message
asks the city council for authority to clear the
streets Of the unsightly and obstructive tele-
graph and electric light poles and wires. The
recurrence Of blizzards is only question of
few years. There was q terrible blizzard less
than three years since. Such severe storms
may be expected at intervals 1t may be true
that the laying of the sub.erranean wires will
be expensive Such improvements usually cost
something But the companies can afford the
