PROMPT AND HEROIC.
Some Instances Where Ready Action
Saved Life.

Some Instances Where Ready Action
Saved Life.
All Australian boys are taught the
necessity of guarding against snake
bites, says the Youths Companion. The
treatment of such wounds is a necessary
part of their education. One day two
little fellows, six and eight years old,
went into the bush to play. The smaller
one, chasing a rabbit into hole, pushed
in his hand, and brought it out quickly
with the head of venomous snake at
tached to one of the fingers.
Quick, Charley!' he cried, putting his
hand down on a stump. ''Chop off my
finger! The snake has bitten it,
Charley, without pause, lifted his AK
and chopped, not only the damaged fin
ger, but two of the others as well. Then
the boys ran straight into town, over
mile distant, and sought surgeon, who
dipped the injured members in ammonia
before dressing them. Imagine the pain
of such burning bath!
young Australian lady was one day
walking along the street, when she saw
a dirty and wretched-loolxingt tramp to
whose leg venomous snake had affixed
itself.
After killing the reptile with her par
as u, she borrowed his pocketknife, cut
the trousers away from the wound, and
then, cutting a cross upon the bite itself,
applied her lips to it, and sucked the
poison away. The tramp's life was
saved, at the sacrifice, perhaps, of some
dainty scruples.

QUEER RUSSIAN RELIGIONS.

millions OF Followers OF Insane and
Cranky Notions.
NJ. Tsalni, Russian writer, has pub
nshed an interesting work upon the
curious religious sects of Russia, from
which it appears that there are not less
than fifteen million followers of insane
and cranky notions in that empire
These communities of devout and de.
luded Christians are constantly spring.
ing up in spite of all the efforts of Rus.
sian despots to keep them down.
One of these sects is called the Runa.
ways. They fly from their villages and
towns as soon as they embrace the new
faith, seeking to destroy their identity as
much as possible, and henceforth live
as savages. They return as near to
mans primitive condition as possible;
regard civilization as the greatest Oh
curses, and make the robbing OF
churches one of their most sacred du-
ties.
Another sect call themselves Christs.
They worship each other, a crazy spe-
cies of dancing being their chief cere-
mony.
The Skoptsys, another religious body,
believe in self mutilation, but will not
submit to amputation, although know
ing that a life may be saved thereby.
Like the Christs, they are expert
dancers. Besides dancing and yelling
for hours without intermission, they
add midnight acrobatic performance
to their ceremony, many Of the tricks
and contortions being difficult in the ex-
treme. The Dumb Boys are another of
these curious sects. Why they are called
Dumb Boys no one seems to know. The
sect is composed of both sexes, old men
being in the majority. Some of these
deluded old patriarchs are known to
have kept their vow of silence for more
than half century.
M. Souckeliff is the leader of a sect
which breaches suicide as an absolute
necessity for salvation. AT one of his
great ''revivals' in Kief he preached so
hard in favor of smurder and suicide
that several of his followers cut each
others Threats. There are dozens of
other fanatical religious bodies in the
benighted empire of the car, many of
whom practice blood-curdling sacrihcial
ceremonies

IN a discussion on diphtheria, pub
lished in the British Medical Journal,
DIR Russell cited several instances in
which steam had seemed to be an active
factor in the propagation of the disease.
Hot water and steam from a brewery
were introduced into some old cess
pools, and evidently Weakened into &C.
tivity germs which, if undisturbed,
would have remained dormant. An
epidemic of diphtheria soon developed
in the vicinity, and was not checked
until the steam was turned into other
channels, when it quickly ceased. If,
as we now believe, the bacillus of diph-
liberia develops with special rapidity in
the presence Of warmth and moisture
and absence of light, it is not unreason-
able to suppose that the introduction of
hot water or steam into cesspools or
sewers may be most dangerous pro-
cedure.

The Dance of tn. ruturs.

A new fashion, introduced last season
tentatively and ftfully, is to be the
rage next May, says the Pail Mall
Budget. We are to be overrun with
dancing girls. There are to be no more
balls; lancers, waltzes and pollzas are
to be as obsolete as politeness, and pro-
grammes are to become as rare as we'd
ding cards. The new fashion is already
recognized. Dancing mistresses are
teaching fascinating steps, so that when
May comes society shall be supplied.
The new vogue has one unexpected ad-
vantage. A family Of girls has hitherto
been sore perplexity to maneuvering
motheri but II they can all be taught to
dance, the pas de quatre becomes their
salvation. 1t is 80 easy for the sisters
to practice together, and It is so eco
nomio for their mothers to dress them
alike. Society will thus languidly do
its dancing by deputy, and the Golightly
Sisters get the applause and possibly
the husbands they deserve. Perhaps
by and by this fashion may extend to
dinner parties, and @ few voraciously
eupeptic guests be watched taking
turtle and raclxpunch by well-breA
crowd who have lost their appetites.

LOST HIS TEMPER.
A Sparrow Whose Patience Was Final
Exhausted.

A Sparrow Whose Patience Was Finally
Exhausted.
An English sparrow that had prob
ably been evicted by some stranger
next-door neighbor went upon a search
for a new home yesterday, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t SO happened that he lighted, in the
course of his travels, upon the statue of
Benjamin Franklin, which graces the
big triangle at Park rows junction with
Nassau street.
The metal Franklin, as everybody
knows, sports tie wig, which swells
out over the ears after the manner of
the truly swagger girls back hair, and
in the consequent crevice the homeless
English sparrow fancied that he had
discovered an ideal place for a nest.
He proceeded to experiment. Dart
ing down to the street he captured a
tiny bit of rag and showed it into the
opening between Mr.. Franlxlin's wig
and left auricular.
The rag failed to catch on the smooth
metal and slipped out. 1t was seized
by the little home-builder and showed
back again. Several other English
sparrows gathered around on the stat
ue's shoulders and began to guy the
first.
He paid no attention to them and by
actual count dragged the obstinate rag
back into the crevice fifteen times.
The second that it left its beak it slid
out again. Suddenly the temper of the
understanding sparrow exploded. He
sailed into his tormentors with the en-
ergy of a cyclone, and in three minutes
the entire crew was whipped most beau
tifully.
Then, smoothing his ruffied feathers,
the visitor seated himself upon Mr..
Franklin's august head and calmly sur
veyed the scene of battle.

NEW YORK, May 10. - Miss Mary
Gwendolen Caldwell, the wealthiest I'M
married woman in America, who is i'll
in this city with typhoid fever, is reported
this morning to be slightly improved,
although still in great danger.

caused by drinking the water of Florida,
as Miss Caldwell has just returned from
a winter residence in that State.
Miss Caldwell's fortune is estimated
to be about $40, 900, 900. She is devout
Catholic, has given literally to Catholic
charities, and endowed the Catholic
University in Washington to the extent
of $500,
She has been decorated by the Pope

time to Prince Murat of France, but the
engagement was broken off.

THE anti-Harrison republicans are
jubilant over what they say is the GER
tainty that Mr. Harrison cannot be
nominated at Minneapolis. They point
exultingly to the nearly six hundred I'M
instructed delegates, and sneer at the
fact that only four. states that the re-
publicans have any reasonable hope of
carrying-Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska
and South Dakota-have been instructed
for Harrison, and some of them do not
hesitate to say that the majority of the
rest Of the instructed delegates, all from
the south, could easily be taken away
from Mr. Harrison by cash purchase, if
it were necessary to do SO to defeat him.

HAVING compelled the department of
justice to begin legal proceedings
against the sugar trust, the house will
now do the same for the National Cord
age company, the trust which controls
binding Irvine, by adopting resolution
offered by Representative Scott of Illi-
nois, the same gentleman who intro
duced the sugar trust resolution, which
the house passed last week. 1t may be
that the Sherman antitrust law, which
was enacted by the billion dollar con-
gress, is entirely worthless, as was
charged by democrats when it was
passed-there are reasons for believing
that it was intended to be-but that
makes the house all the more anxious to
see it put to a practical test. If this
fails, the house will pass a bill that will
not fail, and leave the responsibility for
its becoming law with the trust-loving
republican majority in the senate and
republican president.

Small Lumber Drixs. rh,s VA.

CONCORD, N. H., Nay 10-The recent
rain has raised the rivers SO that the
lumber drives which got tied up a few
weeks ago have all been started. The
drive down the Merrimack will be
smaller than last year, and that down
the Connecticut will be only about one
third of the usual amount. In the Kill
kenny section the cut was nearly up to
the average but it is stated that the total
cutting in northern New Hampshire will
be much less than in 1891 and higher
prices for lumber are predicted.
