MisteIlanp.
A Russian Prison.

Some fifty miles from st. Petersburg,
upon the Lake of Ladoga, there is
small granite island entirely occupied
by fortress. 1t is Schlusselburg, the
dreadful prison of state, worse than the
French Bastile, worse than the fortress
of St. Pc ter and st. Paul with its Troub-
etzkoi and Aleneevsky ravelins and its
underground cells. The most resolu'e
of the revolutionists, men and women,
who have taken part in actual conspira-
cies, whom it is not considered safe to
keep in the fortress of Peter and Paul,
are sent there. The absence of any in
habitants, except those employed in the
service, renders it possible to isolate the
prisoners to degre unattainable any
where else. No one is allowed to land
upon the island; sentinels have orders
to shoot any one who approaches. If
the near relatives of prisoner inquire
concerning him at the police depart
ment in ST. Petersburg, they are some
times told " alive" or "dead -; some
times no answer is given. The SOL
diers and guards are themselves pris-
oners, who mingle only with each other,
and are carefully watched on the rare
occasions when they are allowed TO
make visit to the mainland. 1t was
possible to establish secret communica-
tions with even the most jealousy
guarded ravelins of the st. Petersburg
fortress. But the fortress of Schlussel-
burg remained dumb ike the grave it is
Though some of the best known men
of the revolution party, in whom the
greatest interest was felt among the
whole body of revolutonists, were kept
there, we rarely could even tell whether
they were alive or dead. A few months
ago, however, our friends in Russia re-
ceived some news from this place of
endless misery. 1t is very brief, only
such as can be conveyed upon bit of
paper struggled with the greatest dan
ger through some friendly hand. 1t
merely tells which of the prisoners are
dead and which are still alive, but even
this summary is eloquent enough. We
learn from it that out of the fifty-two
prisoners sent there in the course of
the last eight years, twenty, or about
forty per cent, are already dead. Sew
eral of those who survive should be
added to the list Of the dead. They
are insane, and have lost what is as pre-
cious, if not more precious, to man
than ife.-Free Russia.

Charlotte BrOnte on Thackeray.

In letter recently published for the
first time, Charlotte Bronte says: "I
hardly ever felt delight equal to that
which cheered me when Ireceived your
letter containing an extract from note
by Mr.. Thackeray, in which he ex-
pressed himself gratified with the pc
rusal of Jane Eyre Mr.. Thackeray
is keen, ruthless satirist. had yer
perused his writings but with feelings of
blended admiration and indignation.
Critics, it appears to me, do not know
what an intellectual boa. constructor he
is-they call him humorous brilliant;
his is a most scalping humor, most
deadly brilliancy-he does not play with
his prey, he coils round it and brushes
it in his rings. He seems terribly in
earnest in his war against the follies and
the falsehood of the world. wonder
what the world thinks of him. | should
think the faults of such man would be
distrust of anything good in human ma
ture; CALLING suspicion of bad motives
lurking behind good actions. Are these
his failings? They are, at any rate, the
failings of his written sentiments, for
he cannot find in his heart to represent
either man or woman as at once good
and wise. Does he not too much con-
found benevolence with weakness, and
wisdom with mere craft?" This judg-
ment is certainly one of the curiosities
of criticism. There are, however, few
women who do full justice to Thackeray.

The Great but Erratic Lakes.

The subject of the fluctuations of the
level of the great lakes is being dis
cussed all along our northern fresh
water littoral. Local experience at De-
troit seems to show that the waters of
the strait at that point are much higher
now than at any time during the first
thirty years of this century, and proof
may be found in the total disappearance
and inundation of a public highway
that formerly skirted the American
shore. This theme was considered by
able engineers as early as 1881, and it
was then pointed out that there had
been noticeable fluctuations in the level
of the lakes al various times since 1900,
while the popular tradition was that
there was periodical rise and fall
once in fourteen years. Abrupt changes
of two or three feet on the level ofthe
Detroit river are frequently observed
after great storms on either of the
lakes above or below the strait, owing
to the fact that the wind drives the
water into the small arc which is formed
by the course of the river. But the
present high water level cannot be
ascribed, il appears, to any such tempo
rary ause.-Springfeld Republican.

To Cure Diphtheria.

Dr. Adolph MERCER of Bensancon,
France, claims to be able to cure diph-
iberia in forty-eight hours. His reme-
dial aid is hydrate of choral, in the
form of the syrup of the French phar-
macor Gia, consisting of the proportions
of one to twenty. He first begins with
the use of ipecac, to produce emesis,
carefully avoiding eXh austion After
the vomiting has ceased he administers
one.half to one and quarter drains of
the hydrate of chloral, according to the
age ofthe patient, every half-hour To
produce a more thorough impregnation
of the affected part, the patient is di-
rected to take his drink previous TO The
infection of the chloral. This remedy
produces somnolence which greatly
facilitates lis administration. To check
the glandular infitration, unctions of
belladonna ointment are applied to he
interior portion Of the neck and the
sub-maxillary region. The entire neck
is swathed in cotton. The patient is
allowed to eat and drink almost any
nourishing food, provided he takes the
syrup. Syrup of quinquinia is added
to the chloral syrup.
In the course of twenty-four hours
no change Is noticeable, but in the
course of forty-eight all false mem
branes have disappeared. The use OF
the syrup of choral becomes painful
when the deposit is detaching. After
the detachment of the false membrane,
if redness and swelling of the tonsis
remain, an astringent gargle is en-
ployed. The administration of the
chloral ceases with the disappearance
of the membrane. The pustulous erup-
ton caused by the belladonna ointment
readily yields to applications of vase
line. II dyspr na or spasm intervene, in
iectiOns of hydrochlorate of cocaine are
added to the chloral treatment. In the
third stage of diphtheria, the so-called
laryngeal phase, when the voice is
wholly lost, choral is not only useless
but even harmful. Out of total of
one hundred cases treated by this
method, lie Moniteur Theropeutique, a
Partisan medical authority, states that
only four cases were lost by DR.. MERCER,
and this was owing to lack of timely
treatment.

narrow atmosphere. And so, through
all the experiences of home life, The
wife fails If she looks at every thing
wholly from q material standpoint.
1t is not strange when children hear
moth ng but petty talk and see nothing
but dull repeated work that they grow
up without a capacity for high thoughts,
and lacking the power to resist moral
temptations. Natures grow on what
they feed on, and purity of motive and
elevated purpose must have their roots
planted and watered when the heart is
young.
A woman who thinks that her
house. work, which wellnigh over
whelms her, is all she can do, may be
sure that there is no better use for por
ton of her time than to daily lift herself
out Of the narrow confinC of her labors,
and TO rest and refresh herself In new
interests and broader sympathies. Any
woman can do this, though all do not
climb the same pathway or reach the
same height. The opportunities may
be few and the advantages slight, but,
faithfully used, they will develop, and
step by step the way will lead ever on
ward and upward. And the first step
in the pathway is to see what piece of
work can go undone, and the time be
saved, rather than how much more
mint, anise, and cummin the busy
housewife can crowd into her already
too-hurried days.
Having thus breathed the broader

d" Good Manager but Poor Wife,"

This statement of what an affection
ate, industrious, loyal woman may be-
come seems severe, but, alasl it is too
often true. 1t is the domestic version
of the mint, anise and cummin story so
constantly repeated in human lives.
The weightier matters of the law come
from the heart and soul of the individ.
ual. They cannot he got with the labor
of the hands. They are of the spiritual
and mental life, growi ing, expanding
and dominating the labor Of the hands
in constant proportion to their use, and,
sordid, petty, ignoble. And because
these matters cannot be weighed or
measured, but felt and experie need, is
perhaps why it is that they are harder
to grasp when practical duties fill the
hours. But in that grasp lies the key
of such life as shall satisfy and bless
those within its influences. These
spiritual qualities become vivified when
transfused through a living, loving
heart. They work hourly transforms
tions in the labors of day, making
homely toll beautiful, and guiding
aspirations always to kinder, tenderer
deeds.
No one should keep these high ideals
more constantly in the foreground of
the life picture which each of us is
daily painting than the wife and
mother. The buster and more work a.
day the life, the greater should be the
effort to think high thoughts, and not
to let the labor descend into mere
drudgery, akin to the instructive rou-
tine of the animal Baking, sweeping,
sewing, planning--these duties take the
strength and time of the majority of
housewives. But every one can recall
many houses where every duty is ex-
actly performed, yet where the essence
Of home life has evaporated. All is
immaculate, but the hearts of the fam
lily are cold. There are no cobwebs,
but the minds are narrow and small.
Every material possession is there, but
the inmates seek pleasure, interest, and
sympathy elsewhere. 1t may seem I'M
Just to lay so much of the deterioration
of a home at the wife's door, but she is
the bread. dispenser, and it is not alone
the material food she is to give forth,
but that which shall feed the ambitions
steady the purposes, and purify the
hearts of those for whom she has as
sumed her place.
A wife who has no interest in hel
husbands pursuits, or who cares not tc
understand his perple kites, fails in hel
opportunities. The wife who shuts Out
social pleasures and rclaxations because
they bore her or because she is too busy
errs. She either forces her husband tC
seek pleasure without her, and drives
the first wedge of divergence between
them, or else shuts him into her owl
