F,FrY-oNE DAYS UNDER SNOW
The Experience of q Russian Girl, Who To

Inc Experience OF q Russian SilFAs w no -
Alive to Tell Her Story.
An account has been received at st.
Petersburg of a remarkable experience
that befell a young girl named Alex
andrina Schitkine, seventeen years OF
age, who was recently discovered ly-
ing in state of complete exhaustion
near the village of Bogorodska, in the
province of Moscow. She relates that
she fell asleep one evening on heap
of straw, and on walking some hours
afterward found herself lying under a
mass of snow that had fallen during
the night and enveloped her to the
depth of some three feet: All the
girls attempts to extricate herself
proved unavailing, and she remained
buried among snow and straw for fifty
enc days, her only nourishment during
that time being a few n1orsels Of bread
that she happened to have with her.
When at lakgth rescued, the girl was,
of course, found to be in a state 'of
most complete hamilton, and it re-
quired several days of constant care
and nursing to restore her strength.
On recovering she stated that she had
not experienced any excessive cold,
and had only occasionally been seized
with shivering. She suffered much,
however, from hunger, and, after her
few crusts of bread were eaten, sup
ported life by sucking the snow. The
girl also described the anguish which
she felt on finding that no one heard
her piteous, half-stifed cries for help
whenever the sound of footsteps in the
neigh borhood of her living sepulcher.
fell upon her ears.

A Toad's Cunning.

A naturalist paper relates an inter-
esting instance of a toad's cunning. A
brood of chickens was fed with moist
ened meal in saucers. and when the,
dough soured little it attracted large
numbers of flies. An observant toad
had evidently noticed this, and every
day toward evening he'would make his
appearance in the yard, hop, to a sau-.
Ger, climb in and roll over and over ,l1 q
til he was covered with meal, having
done which he awaited developments.
The dies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmed around the scheming batrach-
ian, and whenever one passed within
two inches or so of his nose his tongue
darted ont and the fly disappeared.
This plan worked so we'll that the toad
made regular business Of it.

cheek pressed against his shoulder, her
breath coming audibly in long, sobbing

his head to bring his lips close to her

breath stirred his hair. They sat very

An English or an American visiting
Greece for the first time is struck, 4
sooner or later, by a certain dullness
in the street life Of its towns, which iti
may take him some little time to define
and trace to its real cause. At length,,S
and suddenly, the fact comes home to-
visible among the foot passengers. No,
wonder, he reflects, that the streets
should appear dull to him, shorn as
they are of all the variety that woman's
presence and dress ever lends to the
thoroughfares Of countries farther
west. In Greece, according to the Pail
Mall Budget, it is only toward evening",
and then for but brief period, that
the fair sex take an outing, unless the
pressure of some urgent business
should compel them to fit rapidly
through the throng of men who at
other times monopolize the streets.
Nor will q foreigner meet with them
serving in the shops, the restaur-
ants or the cafes; they will still
be conspicuous by their absence. In
fact, unless he visit them in the prlva-
CIV of their homes he will scarcely do
more than catch an occasional glimpse
of them at the upper windows Of some
private dwelling-house or shop, where,
when the weather is seasonable, they
will sit reading and sewing, and cram
ing their necks out to watch the pass
ers-by below. The effects of this seden-
tary life, so antagonistic to our Eng
lish faith in open air and exercise, are
very marked on the fair forms OF the
Grecian women.
An embonpoint, but not to designate
it by the more vulgar term, corpulence,
is the most apparent result of this In
door existence; but this tendency to
gross flesh is an attraction to the mod
ern Greek, who, like the Turk, finds in
superfluous fat an additional beauty.
To every country its standard OF fe-
male loneliness. For Greece the typical
woman may be roughly sketched thus:'
She is short, broad and stout, of pale,
creamy complexion, with dark hair,
beautiful eyes and features fairly reg
ular, but not classical. The prevailing
impression that she leaves upon the
Englishman is that she has whisper

But to quit the towns, where it will
be seen that women play but small
part in public life, and to turn to the
rural districts of Greece. Here woman
takes more active part in everyday
life She it is who draws the water,
brings in the wood that the men have
felled i'm the forest, or who pluckily
earns her wages as a day laborer in
the maize or corn field. In the burn
ing. summer, in the icy winter, she is
ever to the fore, working, working, with
her veil hanging loosely over her head,
ready to be folded across her mouth
should strange man approach. 1t is
matter for thought how widespread
even now among the country districts
is this old custom of yelling the lower
part of the face at the approach of an
unknown member of the opposite sex.

not so very long since the Turks we're
masters of this purple land, where

How m English Inn Provided for Per-
sons with Cold in the Head.
Nothing but travel, and extensive
travel at that, will give a person a
full idea of the queer ways that there
are in the world. An American who
was not long since jorneying through
the midland counties Of England re-.
lates that in a small country town he
once entered an inn rather pretentious
for the place and called for turbot-a
favorite dish in those parts.
The American had had few days of
dense fog, and his appearance and man
ner perhaps showed that he had become
little wheezy in consequence OF the
climate. He was forced to have fire.
Quent recourse to his pocket handker-
chief.
When the turbot was brought, the
guest fancied, even before it reached his
plate, that it was no longer fresh; and
an attempt to eat it confirmed that im-
preston. He called the proprietor, who

having been discussed Secretary La
mont told the president that Senator
German believed if any action was
taken ontsIde of unconditional repeal
that the gold reserve should be strength
ened and maintained. Senator German
has always held that it was too great a
responsibility for any one to undertake
to legislate on the silver question with
out having gold in the treasury to enable
the government TO keep the two metals
at parity. The president agreed with
this view of the question, and spoke in
rather complimentary way of Senator
Gorman'S opinion upon the subject.
Secretary Carlisle with much feeling
attacked the idea of any legislation that
would look toward the sale of bonds.
He said it was a Wall street scheme,
and attacked it even more so than he
did in his now celebrated in terview
with the New York bankers. He
showed great deal of feeling toward
Senator German in the matter, and said
that he would fight any such a propo-
sition.
The president did not say much

The correspondent continues: LAS

care anything about compromise. He

compromise, and while it is but natural,
when every one of his colleagues are
discussing such proposition. he would
give the subject thought, as possible
