The Russian Student.

The material position of the student is not an enviable one. Poverty and want stare him in the face wherever he goes, and his personal appearance leaves much to be desired. In 1850, when the Russian government wished to limit the number entering the university, the most effectual way of stopping the in- Aux was by giving notice that only those would be received who were able to dress themselves decently and keep up an appearance suitable to their rank.
 By far the larger proportion of stu dents are sons of officers whose pay is small and whose life is continual struggle against want; about one-third are children of merchants and shop keepers. Out of 4,000 in St. Petersburg and Kiev ninety belong to the peasant class. The minimum that a student re- quires in the year to keep himself at the university has been calculated at 375 rubles, or nearly EGO. Imagination can hardly picture the condition in which the student lives, sometimes without fire or light. Three or four of them often occupy the same room, and each pays 112 IuoleS Nfo' ou.) d Alohen 1or HE "corner." Cases have been known where he had only five copecks (215d.) a day to buy food. The purchase of books under these circumstances is not to be thought of.
 Some credit is due, however, to the government for the assistance it has afforded. A large percentage of stu. dents have always been assisted by the state. In 1877 S2 per cent. were in some form or other aided by the state.-Scot. tish Review.

An End to the Engagement.

Two unusually pretty girls were they, lazily swinging in the hammock and gossiping idly. A bright featured oriole swayed to and fro upon the topmost bough above them, with now and then soft, liquid note. An invisible katydid emitted its rasping noise at long inter- vals. Otherwise it was perfectly still. The girl with red shoes yawncd
 ''I wish there was some news going" she sighed, half petulantly.
 The girl with green suspenders pom dered.
 ''So do l." she assented.
 For time they listened in silence to the oriole and the katydid.
 "Oh, Sue, by the way, you'-
 The girl with red shoes turned in the hammock with suggestion of anima- tion.
 "Have heard the latest of course" The girl with green suspenders was uncertain.
 "About Jack and Carrie, you know, Sue."
 The girl with green suspenders was in- terested.
 ''No," she eagerly rejoined. "What is it?''
 The girl with red shoes raised herself to 8 sitting posture.
 "Why, they've had falling out"
 ''I want to know"
 "Yes, they don't speak,"
 "Welf, well.'
 The girl with green suspenders grew thoughtful.
 "Of course," she observed musingly, ''their engagement is broken"
 "In one way, yes."
 The girl with green suspenders ele- vated her eyebrows in surprise.
 "What do you mean, Sue?"
 "They'rs married"
 The oriole took wings at that juncture. while the katydid decided not to emit any more rasping noise for the present. Detroit Free Press.

where Immigrants Stop.

When we look at industrial condi- tions it is learned Chat the absorption of immigrants has not been equal. The facts in this iespeS cannot be given sar 1890, but for 1880 they indicate what may be expected when the full facts for 1890 are reported.
 In 1880 the whole number of people engaged in agriculture was 7,670, ,493. Of tsss number 812, ,829 persons were of f0reign birth-that is to say, 10.06 per dent. o'the whole number employed in &sU1culture in 1880 were foreign born. The total number employed in manu- featuring, mechanical and mining in dustries in the United States in 1880 was 3,837, ,112. Of this number 1895, ,787 were of foreign birth, and this number is 32 per cent. of the whole number of persons engaged in these industries.
 The tendency therefore of our immi- grants is to assimilate with our me- chanical industries. This increases the supply of labor in comparison to the de- mand, and may in some localities tend to lower wages and sometimes to cripple the consuming power of the whole body of the people. Carroll D. Wright in Popular Science Monthly.

CHAPTER W.

II hdUe conUinced fdt1ser."
 We've got 'em back at last!' cried Mrs. Sparkler excitedly, not caring for the presence of the stranger or even old Renwick himself, while Sparkler, who on all occasions allowed his wife to be spokesman, hung back by the door. ''They'd started to seek their fortunes, just like Tommy Sawyer in the story book. They had five cents atween 'em, and they went to the bakery and bought six cookies to provide for the journey. Then they footed it down the railroad track, and the wonder is they wasn't run down by train. Prue got over into Beecham woods and Sally went tagging after. They got into a swamn and Sally lost one of her shoes, and her hat flew up in tree. Prue shinned up the tree and got the hat, but it was all torn to shoestrings.
 ''At last they worked their way out of the woods at a place called Fords Cor ners, about seven miles from here. guess they was pretty faint and hungry and beat out by the time they got there, for they stepped at Dr. Cookman's house and asked for a drink, and if they could lay down and rest in the barn, just as Tommy Sawyer did on his travels. And the doctor happened to be at home, and he kind of smelt mouse, so he wormed it out of them who they was and where they lived, and then he hitched. up his horse and brought 'em home."
 Mrs. Sparkler had given her narrative in breathless way, without semicolons or even commas, and old Renwick was now fully awake, eying her with cold disapprobation.
 ''What is it all about, my good wom- an?' he said sharply when he could stem the torrent of her speech.
 Good woman indeed, sir," cried Mrs. Sparkler, spunking up. "It's about them children. I would have Sparkler bring lem over to show Miss Renwick what 8 mess they are in, and to ask her if they shouldn't be soundly spanked"
 Spank them, by all means, Mrs.

A PROMINENT MAN.
One of Albany's Ablest and Best Known
 Citizens.

 SOME INTERESTING INSIDE HISTORY IN THE LIFE OF BUSINESS MAMIE SPEAKS STRONGLY AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. The success of prominent business men are always of great interest to the people. So, also, when we'll known and hon. ored man is in trouble through illness, not only his friends, but all who know him by reputation, are deeply interested in his welfare.
 MT. Seth E. Parsons is one of the lead ing business men of Albany, N. Y., and is widely known and highly esteemed as a citizen of sterling integrity, with the en- ergy and force of character characteristic of our American business men.
 Seen at his home, g Park-st., by our papers representative, he expressed him. self in terms of the greatest qualification that he had escaped possibly most seri- ous nervous difficulty which might have prostrated him.
 II was very nervous he said, II could not hold my hands still, especially my left hand there was an involuntary con- traction of the muscles and movement of the fingers.
The Press., 1893-01-05

My food troubled me very soon after eating. My kidneys and bladder were affected so it was difficult to urinate free ly.
 II used the celebrated medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy, and without being tedious reciting my experience, I can say that these diffi- culties have left me, and my nerves are quiet, and my food does not distress me.
 ''I feel without hesitation in saying that think Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has produced these fav- orable results"
 We have heard of many remarkable cures being effected by this remedy, but when we learn directly and from his own words of it's curing a man of MT. Parsons prominence and standing, we believe that such cure should be to all guarantee of the great curative powers of the rem edy and should influence all thinking per sons who are suffering from disease to use this truly remarkable medicine. It can be purchased for $1 at any druggists, and we know it is purely vegetable and harm less.
 What gives us most confidence in the remedy is the fact that it is the discovery and prescription of Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th Street, New York, the eminent spec ialist in curing nervous and chronic dis eases and that the doctor offers to all suf- felers free consultation with him either by calling at his office or writing him.

Jolly to Be an Editor.

A schoolboys composition on "The Editor" ran as follows:
 The editor is one of the happiest in dividuals in the world. He can go to any circus in the afternoon and evening without paying a penny, also to inquests and hangings; has free tickets to thea ters, gets wedding cake sent him, and sometimes gets licking, but not often, for he can take things back in the next issue, which he generally does. While other folks have to go to bed early, the editor can sit up late at night and see all that is going on. When 1 am 8 man l mean to be an editor, so that may stay out late at night. That will be jolly Exchange.

THE ALLIANCE.
The Warship Narrowly Escapes
Disaster at Samoa.

At 8 A. NJ on Wednesday morning,
December 2Sth, the United States ship
of-war Alliance had the misfortune 10
lose both her anchors, says the Samoan
Times. The Alliance lay close to the
entrance of the harbor, and was thus ex-
posed TO the full force of the waves if any
sea got up. At the hour mentioned a
sharp squall struck her, causing such a
strain on the cables that they both
parted.
The fires at the time the vessel COM
menced to drag were banked, but were
spread out at once. The Captain and
First Lieutenant were on deck, the Chief
Engineer in the engine-room, and the
order was given for the engines to
60 ahead, but the propeller re-
fused to do duty. The ship then
lifted a little with the swell and the pro-
pellor revolved until the ship settled
again, when it once more stopped, and
SO on till she was got clear of the reef.
When the ship began to steam forward
she scraped along the reef for quite a
Little way before being finally got off. 1t
is not expected that any damage has
been done to the hull of the warship.
The Alliance left for Pago Pago on
Wednesday afternoon last, having only
one anchor left, and the Captain did not
consider it safe to attempt to lay in Apia
at this season Of the year with only one
anchor

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
A Possible Conflict With England for
Possession.of the Islands.


CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-If the statement of
Commodore j. S. Skerrett is correct, q
conflict between the Government of this
country and that of Great Britain for the
possession of the Sandwich Islands is
not out of the range OF possibilities. The
commodore arrived at the Palmer House
to- day, en- route to San Francisco, to take
charge OF the Mohican. "It is prob
able" he said, "that the vessel will be
ordered to Honolulu shortly, owing to
the discomfort among the inhabitants of
the islands named. If change in the
present rule is to take place there is
strong movement to place the islands
under the Government of the United
States, while at the same time there is
section which advocates British rule.
Even if majority expressed desire for
annexation to the United States, it is
likely England would enter vigorous
protest. Already, it is reported, British
agents are on the spot endeavoring to
thwart all efforts tending toward an ar
rangement with America. The import
ance OF the group of islands to each
country would naturally tend to
strengthen the determination of the
Governments at Washington and Lon
don not to yield their claim till all the
resources of diplomacy had been ex-
hauSted" !"
