"IIello, Kate"
"Yes' answered a voice above stairs,
as Charley Grant called from the cosy
little hall below.
"Come down here! I've got some

Charley's handsome face was bright
enough to tell anybody that his news

for his wife to comes down. And why
not, since his pretty cousin, Jessie

and tucked back with an ugly comb,
her wrapper unbelted, no collar on, and
her small feet thrust into clumsy old
slippers.
Charley's friends used to say he was
perfect tiend on the subject Of untidy
women, and he couldn't help a shade
crossing his face as he remembered how
trim and nice Kate was when they were
first married.
But the shade passed as swiftly as it
came, and he stopped to give her the

by saying, tenderly:

THE RUSSIAN HARVEST.

Vast as is the area Of European Russia,
comparatively small portion of it is suitable
for agriculture. The rest of it is lake,
forest and moraSs. 1t is in the condition in
which Julius Cesar found most of Gaul.
About the beginning Of the present century
energetic effoIts were made by the Imperial
Government to induce the cultivation of all
the arabic land, so as to free Russia from its
dependence on the foreigner for food. The
efforts were measureably successful; pretty
nearly all the land that would grow an aver
age Of ten or fifteen bushels of wheat to the
acre, or an equivalent Of other grains, was got
under the pillow; but neither under the system
of seridOm, nor under emancipation, was it
found practicable TO induce landowners to
manure their land. For three-quarters of a
century the best arabic land of Russia has
been planted year after year in wheat oats,
rye, fax and hemp, with a regular rotation
Of crops each year, but without any attempt
to restore to the soil the elements absorbed
by the harvests. The consequence Is that
the soil has been gradually impoverished,
and that little by little the cultivation of the
higher classes of cereals has made way for
the cultivation of those which draw less
upon its fertility. Thus, while the average
wheat crop is about I75, 600. 600 bushels, the
average crop of oats is 100000 bushels,
and of rye about the same quantity. But
land which only yields crops reluctantly
from want Of fertilization is apt once in
way to rebel, and 10 refuse to yield even
moderate crop, and that is what has now
happened in parts of the dominion of the
Gar. Provinces which have had q surplus
Of rye for export to their more barren neigh
bors, or to Germany OF Austria, now find it
difficult TO feed their own people. No regu-
lar crop reports are published in Russia, but
it is said that rye will only be half crop.
On the discovery Of this fact the Govern
ment of Russia, ..obedient TO the obsolete
doctrines of past age, prohibited the ex-
port Of rye. This measure not only created
Inconvenience in Germany and Austria, but
it deprived the fortunate Russians who hap
pened to have good crop of chance of
making money out OF it. The price of rye is
to be regulated by Government in the in
terest Of the consumer.

HARRISON AND ELAINE.

The well-informed Washington CORE
sp0ndent Of the Boston journal says there
Is q general belief on the part of personal
and political friends Of President Harrison
ana Of Secretary Blaine that an understand
ing exists between them which will prevent
any test Of strength in the convention. That
understanding is outlined as follows:
should Tie nomination be offered TO Blaine as
tile united voice OF lie convention he will not
oecllne II. although he will DO nothing personally
TO secure il; that, should lie nomination thus
come TO Blaine, Harrison will cheerfully ae-
qu.esee
1t is further intimated that the President
desires the success Of the strongest aspi-
rant, whether it be Blaine, himself or some
other man. He realizes that the party is
content with his administration, and would
rather go into retirement on this condition
than to secure his own denomination at any
unnecessary risk to the success of the party
in the next election. This is hard ground
for public man to stand upon. a good
many lave pretended to stand ON it, but
few examples have been afforded. Presi-
dent Harrison's remarkable good sense may
enable him to stand firm in position which
to less well-balanced minds is self-ieceiv-
ing. The average public man Is dead sure
that he is the strongest candid ate his party
can nominate

CARE OF THE EAR.
1t Is Extremely Dangerous to Interior
Ia

1t Is Extremely Dangerous to Interfere
With 1t.
The human ear is a much more delicate
organ than most people suppose. 1t is ex-
tremely dangerous to interfere with it by
use Of eaTpicks, or any of the various in
struments used for the purpose of cleaning
it from wax. The wax is a natural secre-
ton. and unless the ear becomes diseased it
does not accumulate any faster tnan is
necessary to protect the passage from en-
trance of insects and various particles
which might otherwise be forced in and
tend 10 interfere permanently with the hear
ing. 1he greatest care is necessary in
washing the ears of little children. They
should he washed outside, but on the inside
only SO far as the finger wrapped in a soft
towel will 20. The practice of forcing hair
pin, or any other hard instrument into the
ear passage, is fraught with danger of injur-
ing the membrane and causing per-
nIanent deafness Earache is malady of
childhood, and causes most distressing
pain. The simplest remedy is to take lit
tie cotton dipped in warm sweet oil and put
it in the ear-passage. A dnnger that may
arise from doing so simple thing as this is
that minute particles of the cotton may be
left in the ear. To prevent this some ply
sicianS advise making q little wad OF the
cotton and wrapping 1t in the finest and
thinnest linen cambria that can be found,
and dipping this in warm sweet oil. In
case of intense pain few drops of hot
laudanum or camphor may be used with the
oil. When foreign bodies get into the ear
they should be removed by Swinging them
out with warm water. To attempt TO re-
move anything from the ear-passage by
forcing an instrument in is rash thing for
any one except an aurist to undertake. The
best medical practitioners refuse to treat
affections of the ear and eye, but send their
patients to speciaiists.-N. Y, Tribune,

GIRLS SAVED THE TRAIN.

Presence of Mind and Good Run Pre-
vented the Loss of Many Lives.
There arc two young girls now in st. Paul
who are deserving of honorable mention for
a recent prompt and heroic act of theirs
which resulted in saving a passenger train
from wreck with the probable loss of human
life. The two girls are Lizzie Barron, of
this city, and Carrie Butcher, who lives
near Shakopee The former was visiting
her friend at ShakOpee not long since, and
it was during this visit that the act OF
bravery was performed.
The girls were one day taking stroll,
and about four miles east of ShakOpee they
came to the track of the Hastings and Da-
kota division of the Milwaukee Railroad,
along which they started to walk. They
had not proceeded far when they discovered
that the beams Of a wooden culvert had
caught fire and almost entirely burned
away. There was nothing left but SHE'LL
which would scarcely bear up under the
weight of hand-ear. but few rods away
nothing amiSs could be detected. as the rails
were still IN their proper positions.
At the time of the discovery it was just
about time for the express to pass, and the
situation 1T once flashed upon the minds OF
the two girls. Instead of becoming panic
stricken and running away to fnd help,
which they realized would probably come
too late, they rushed down the track toward
the approaching train, the roar of which
could already % HedTu III Tue ulSIdIce.
They had not proceeded far when the train
dashed around a curve at full speed not far
away, and with a shrek of the whistle
rushed toward them. Older persons than
they might well have quailed before the ap-
preaching monster and sought personal
safety in fight, forgetful of the danger of
which they would warn the engineer.
But their hearts never faltered, and tn ey
remained standing upon the track swinging
their bOnnets and Gesticulating wildly. Soon
another shrek from the engine told them
that their signals were cOmprehended by the
engineer and they stepped aside, while the
tram rushed by them with the sparks OF fire
flying from the wheels as they were gripped
by the steel shoes of the air brakes. The
train was brought to a standstill before the
ruined culvert was reached and the girls
modestly received the thanks of the passen-
gers and tranmen for their prompt action
in averting serious wreck.
When the Milwaukee officials became
aware of tie facts in the case the general
manager issued orders to suitably reward
the two girl. which has just been done by
the local ofiicals.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

THE WHITE SQUADRON.

The people of the United States have
about become reconcied to the idea that the
so-called White Squadron was to be re-
served for ornamental purposes. Although
composed of the Oldest vessels OF the new
navy it has not yet been called into real
service. While the San Francisco, the
Charleston and the Baltimore have been at
least in sight of war on the coast of Chile
the five vessels composing the White Squad
ron have been only in sight of the festivities
Of Bar Harbor, on the coast of Maine.
There is vigorous call for modern men-of-
war in Chinese waters and less urgent
need of such representatives of the Govern
ment at Samoa, but the five vessels have not
been considered available for such service.
At Bar HarbOr the naval officers have un-
doubtedly had good time, People 60
there from all parts of New England for
rest and recreation. There is bathing in
the warm summer days and dancing in the
warm summer nights. The naval officers
have doubtless contributed to the happiness
Of the pleasure-seekers, and in this way
done some service to their country. But
the season Is now over and the White
Squadron is ordered away.

prudence. There is a well-grounded appre-
hension that if England disputes the right

put her armies in motion. Meantime the
embarrassment of The waiting attitude is to
be relieved by the show Of fierce front in
the direction of China. The London Times
is convinced that liberal treatment of
China is useless. The English Of this is
that England thinks she can whip China,
and that she proposes to try. But England
has a clearer case against Russia than
against China. The policy which Turkey
has broken has continued over long pc
Rod of time. Russia herself has assented
TO it on several occasions. There is as much
reason now as ever why Russia should be
kept out of the Mediterranean, but the
power to keep her out is not as clear as it
was. France, which was party to the
treaties which shut the Dardenelles Straits
against Russian war-shirs, is now believed
TO be ready TO help Russia to fight her way

THE BISHOP NOT THERE.

Howard-Street NJ. e. Church's Congre-
CATION Is Disappointed.
The Howard-street M. E. Church was
we'll filled last night with a large congre-
CATION attracted by the announcement that
the Right Rev. Mallalieu Of New Orleans,
and Bishop of the NJ. E. Church South,
would preach. They went away disap-
pointed, for five, ten, fifteen minutes
after the appointed time for service had
passed, and still the Bishop did not appear.
The emergency had been provided for,
however, by the pastor, and in the absence
OF Bishop Mallalieu, DR.. j. o. Peck of New
York, and General Secretary of the NJ. L.
Board of Missions, was introduced and
preached an able sermon.
DR.. Peck, as well as Bishop Mallaieu, and
many other dignitaries of the M. E. Church.
are here at present to attend the conference
which begins at Pacific Grove Wednesday
morning next.
The failure of Bishop Mallalieu to preach
at Howard-street Church last night was
due to the fatigue consequent on the dedi-
catory services of a church at Oakland yes
terday at which the Bishop officiated.
DR.. Peck, in a humorous preface to his
sermon last night quite engaged the sympa-
thieS and attention of his congregation.
He said that last Sunday, in an Eastern
city, he had been similarly unexpectedly
called upon to oficiate in the absence of
another Bishop. Not only was he expected
to fill the pulpit, but he was also expected to
do all he could to beseech the congregation
to contribute small matter of $4,000 to
pay a church debt Again on that very
evening the expected minister also failed to
put III an appearance and he was again
called upon at two minutes notice to
preach, and not only that but do some more

TRANSMISSION has saved the life Of Benjamin
Clayton, who was admitted to the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital last Sunday night suffering
from stab in the left forearm, given him
by an unknown Italian. When admitted to
the hospital he was in very weak condi-
ton from loss of blood. and the operation
of tying the blood-vessels with ligatures
and closing the wound Frustrated him so
completely that he failed to respond to
hypUdcrmic stimulants. and as q last re-
source to save his life DR.. Scott determined
upon TRANSMISSION. A solution, consisting of
sixteen grains of carbonate of soda and
ninety-eight grains of common salt, dis
solved in quart of distilled water and
heated to a temperature of 1922, was pre-
pared and injected into one of the veins of
the forearm. Owing TO the smallness of the
vein the solution did not flow well, and the
patient, Notwithstanding hYpodermic in-
jections of ether and whisky, continued to
sink rapidly. A second attempt at trans
fusion was made, the solution being in
jected into a vein of the left foot, and an
almost immediate change In his condition
was noticed, and at 6 o'clock on Monday
morning the crisis had passed, and from
that time on his improvement was rapid and
he is now well enough to leave the hos
