Boston Courier: A gentleman who has lately returned from Russia relates an in- cident which, although trifing in itself, is yet most pathetically suggestive of the condition of the poor in Russia, and of the state of things which has bred so deep and so widespread discontent-- among the people.
 Being about to leave some station at which he had been staying for few days, the gentleman in question called in a moozhik-to adopt the spelling of George Kennan-to strap his trunks. The man was of enormous build, with every ap- pearance of great strength, while the traveller is not above medium height, and while of compact mold is by no means o1 muscular appearance.
 The trunk was rather overfull, and the task of bringing the buckle on the strap into it's place was by no means light one. The Russian tried again and again, be- coming short of breath and red in the face with his efforts, while the American look. ed on at first in impatient silence and then with contemptuousrep reproaches. At length losing patience, the traveller pushed the moozhik aside, and with single quick effort brought the strap down and buckled it.
 "There, " he said, "are you not ashamed you great big fellow, to be all this time bungling over thing that I can do in g minute, and only up to your shoulders P There was no trace of anger in the re- ply:
 "Ah, little father, but you have had meat to eat all your life."
 FAILURES IN LIFE.-People fail in many ways. In business, in morality, in relig ion, in happiness and in health. A weak heart is often an unsuspected cause ot failure in life. If the blood does not cir culate properly in the lungs, there is short ness of breath, asthma, etc. in the brain dizziness, headache, etc. in the stomach wind, pain, indigestion, faint spells, etc. in the liver, torpidity, congestion, etc Pain in the left side, shoulder nd..stomact is caused by heart strain. For all these maladies Dr. Miles New Cure for tht heart and lungs is the best remedy. Sold guaranteed and recommended by w. b Heald. Treatise free.

 HIGHER THAN THE RIFFEL TOWER. Passing the woman's building the visi-
 tor can turn towards the northeast and
 inspect the foreign and state buildings in
 the northern portion of the park of which
 he is supposed to have caught general
 view from the steamboat deck, or he can
 turn sharply to the west into Midway
 Plaissance and ascend the Proctor tower. This will be constructed of steel and be
 1,050 feet high, or about 100 feet higher
 than the Eiftel. From its top the view obtainable of the exposition grounds and
 buildings and of the great city lying to the northward will be magnificent beyond all description. .. /. . West of the tower, along the Plaissance
 and overfowing into Washington Park will be large and curious aggregation of structures, including probably some of the foreign and state buildings, and many of semi-private construction, and of na- ture which cannot yet be described. AL most innumerable structures and exhibits, such as repI oductions of famous build ings, etc., most of them novel and strik- ing in character, have been proposed, and l it Is not yet possible to tell how many or l which of them will be erected. That
 there will be an astonishing array of them
 there can be no doubt, and unquestiona- bly some of them will be important and
 exceedingly interesting features of the great fair.
 All of the important buildings will stand ! on terraces four feet above the general
 park level, thus. greatly improving the general landscape effect, and rendering
 theil own appearance more imposing. ! From scores of domes and towers and minarets, flags and streamers will be 1 floating, and both the exterior and interior of the buildings will be "warm" with @
 liberal display of colors. The beautiful park, with its magnificent array of archi-
 lecture, will surely present one of the
 finest spectacles the eyes of man ever be- | hold

. ''I have been very much impressed, Miss Lou," remarked young MT. Trotter to the girl at his left at the dinner table, upon whom he was desirous of making a good impression, ''with an article read recent ly in one of the magazines on the influ- ence of food upon the human system"
 "Yes," replied the maiden encourag- ingly, and Trotter went on.
 "The author maintained that man be- comes to great extent what he eats, and, do you know, am thoroughly con- vinced that he is quite right?"
 It was extremely inopportune that the hostess should have selected this moment to ask:
 ''Mr. Trotter. won't you have some more of the roast pork. You are so very fond of it, know"

MARKING PASSAGES IN BOOKS.

"What do you think of the habit of making books?" I asked an old book worm and book lover.
 "Why, think that if the marker him. self doesn't mind it, no one else ought to. :"
 "I do not understand. Why should the person who marks books mind it ?''
 Because it is such a reckless give away. It is bad enough to have to stand by the things you say yourself, without adopting a lot of things some one else has you often put on exhibition sentiments which you would express only with the greatest reserve, but here they are open to the criticism of friend and foe alike.
 "I have always had private opinion that the marking of books showed lack ofproper reserve and delicacy as if making the public present of what belongs to yourself and your friend.
 "Then, apart from the revelation made to other people, you often find marked books an uncomfortable record of your own past mental poverty. If you should read the same work, but in different copies, once year for five years, and mark at each reading the things which struck your fancy, the five copies, when compared, would show you some startling facts. Our appreciative ability grows faster and surer, think, than any other. You would be heartily ashamed of the things you approved at a previous stage of development.
 t.On the, whole, it is very dangerous process for the person who cares for his own and his friends good opinion to stand sponsor for the dictum of an auth or, simply because, on reading it for the first time, he felt all agreeable responsive glow "-K0te Field's Washington.

THAT CoNsTIrUTIoN.-Acco to a Rome dispatch Signor D'Arco, an assist ant secretary for foreign affairs at Rome, replied to Minister Porter, when MT. Por- ter tried to explain to him the relations of the federal Union to the states, as fixed by the constitution: I've have nothing to do with your constitution. If it is found wanting you must mend it. You know that it is no constitution worthy of free civilized country if it does not in- sure punishment for crime and protection for the weak" And the reply was given with some heat.
 Signor D'Arco's dislike of our constitu- tion is sufficient warrant for him not to visit this country and come under it's ob- jectionable rule.
 The same may be said of all Signor D' Arco's countrymen who share his opinion of that constitution. They are perfectly capable of learning what our constitution is before they come here. They are not compelled to come here if they don't like it. Nobody asks them to subject them selves to it's provisions and take the risks due to it's shortcomings. They can stay away, or they can come, according to the exercise of their own judgments. But, if they come, they must take the constitution as they find it.
 We certainly shall not change it to meet the views of an assistant secretary of state in the foreign office of another na- tion.-Norsoich Bulletin.

MERCHANTS OVER BOUGHT LAST FALL. |-One of the most intelligent of the dry goods commercial travellers, veteran on the road, fell to talking one evening this week up at the Hooker house, on the present state of the dry goods trade and the why and wherefore of it. "I don't expect" he said, "to see the dry goods trade on a normal, healthful basis again before September next"
 "Why not? Isn't the prospect for retail trade good, this spring."
 "Yes, that is very good; but the whole sale houses loaded up last fall so tre- mendously that they were forced to un- load, and the retailers with the cry of Mckinley prices in the air bought heav- fly for the spring trade. Commercial travellers saw an opportunity for trade such as they had not seen for years, and they worked the Mckinley scare for all 1t was worth. It was business, and legiti- mate business. Consequently retail dry goods men over bought. When the spring trade opens they have their spring goods on hand. What we generally sell in Jan- uary and February, we sold in October i "How about those Mckinley prices Do they hold up?"
 "Some few lines affected by the new duties do, but they are very few. The rush and scare last fall was general. Goods not affected by the tariff at all had just as big boom as the others. Mer- chants can buy those goods now cheaper than they did in October"
 ! The conversation was entirely non DO. litical and represents the views of one of the clear headed men of this remarkably clear headed class of men, Willinsantit Journal.

A laborer at the Dundee harbor lately told his wife on awakening, g. curious dream he had had during the night He dreamed that he saw coming toward him, in order, four rats. The first one was very fat and was followed by two lean rats, the rear rat being blind. The dreamer was greatly perplexed as to what evil might follow, as it has been understood that to dream of rats denotes coming calamity. He appealed to his wife concerning this, but she, poor woman, could not help him. His son, sharp lad, hearing his father tell the story, volunteered to be the inter- preter "The fat rat," he said, lis the man who keeps the public house, and ye gang till sac often, and the twa lean ones are me and my mither, and the blind ane is yerself, father"

 N. Y. Times: There is at least one man in Boston who considers the overhead trolley system of electric street railways & grand good thing. This man resides on the route of the West End, and one day recently, while examining his water pipe, received smart shock of electricity. This led him to investigate, and he dis covered that the water pipe entered his house near one of the iron posts that SUD- port the guy wire, and that the current which leaked from the trolley went through the post to the ground and was communicated to the water pipe. Having some knowledge of electrical matters, he procured 8 storage battery and charged 1t from the electrified water pipe. He is thus enabled to illuminate his house from top to bottom without expense, all the attention required being to turn on the current from the water pipe in the morning and at night the battery is ready for service. He also operates, from the same source, an electric fan, a system of call bells, and burglar alarm. The West End road people are aware of what is going on, but are powerless to prevent the leak.
 This offers new danger to life and property, for, as the insulation of the overhead wires become impaired by att mospheric changes, this leakage of the current will be more general and gas and water pipes are liable to be charged with a dangerous current. It is estimated that | over one-half of the electricity generated at the different power stations escapes to the ground, and this current, the loss of which cannot be checked, Is liable to cre- ate serious mischief.
