No fiction in the world is more fas-
cinating or more powerful than that
of Russia. The fact is made apparent
in the current issue of Romance, the
seventh in its notable series of special
numbers, and specially devoted to
Russian short stories. Nearly half
of its contents relate to this remark
able country, and are from the pens
of such writer's as 'Tourguenef, Tol-
stoi, Pouchkine, and ''Stepnaik. y
There are also beautiful stories of
England and America by some Of our
best authors, among whom are
Frances H"dgen Burnett, Tom T.
Morgan, Caroline A. Creevey, and
Clyde Fitch. Uncommon interest
attaches to a recently discovered tale
by John G. Whittier, and also to the
striking newspaper story, "The Great
Journal Beat" ."hy Rhodes MacKniyht.
The readers Of this charming mag
azine will not b. surprised t" learn
the fact, which has come out since his
death, that Phillips Brooks was reg
ular reader aud warm admirer of
Romance. The magazine is issued
by Romance Publishing company,
Clinton Hall, Astor Palace, New
York, at 25 cents a number; subscrip

Plants in baskets are not only ex-
trelnely ornamental in the greenhouse
and the living-room window, when
we'll grown, but by the use Of baskets
It's possible to grow many kinds
effectually that would not be partic-
ularly noticeable if grown in the or.
dinary pot, writes Eben E. Ruxfcrd
in valuable article on "Greenhouse
and Window Plants III the March
Ladies' Home Journal. Take, for i,,'
stance, the peperomias. Their fol-
iage clings close to the pot, and unless
you elevate the plants OH brackets, OF
hang them up, they are likely t" be
passed without notice. But give them
a place in the window, on a level with
the eye, and you get a hint of thei'
beauty at first glimpse, which makes
you stop and examine them more
closely, and then the great beauty o
of the variegated foliage is clearly ap
parent. All plants inclined to droor
should be grown in baskets, or in pots
kept ON brackets, if you want to bring
out their "strong points," But, as
a general thing, few basket plants are
we'll grown.

Deputy Marshal Beauleau, of the
White Earth Indian reservation has
scheme for exhibiting the work of
the Indians of Minnesota in the dis
play of the state at the worlds fair.
His idea is to take some twenty-five
or thirty Inditns from White Earth
with their teepees, canoes, squaws,
papooses, yellow dogs, etc. The
women do very handsome lace and
bead work, which, with their rugs and
mats, would find ready sale. The
company would also include Indian
medicine men, jugglers and fortune
tellers. The state beard will probably
favor Mr.. Bealeau's plan

A NOVEL METHOD OF VOTING.

In number of the towns Of the
state of New York, when the spring
elections are held this year, there will
be very novel Scene. Each voter
will walk into little room with walls
of sheet-iron, will see before him i
neat array of brigh. knobs-to each
of which is attached the name of a
candidate for office, the whole num-
ber including all the names placed in
nomination-will push in the knob
for every name he wishes to vote,
and will pass out, having taken, ac-
cording to the experiment in Lock-
port last year. less than forty seconds.
BY the machinery thus employed
every vote. is securely and secretly
recorded, and every voter can cast one
vote, and no more, for one candidate
for each office. There is no printing
Of ballots required, there is no chance
pf misprinted names, r>of niscount-
ing, accidental or intended, or Of
changing the returns. The election
held in Lockport in the spring Of
1892 was very davorably reported on
by those who watched it, and the like
elections this year will be closely
studied. If the machinery does in
all places what it did in I4ockport, it
would seem that the ingenuity Of the
Yankee inventor had settled the vexed
question of ballot reform, and by 3
voting machine had destroyed much
Of the viciousness Of machine-voting,
The Australian system, for which SO
much energy and ink have been ex-
pended, can at best only secure
secrecy where the voter is bent on
having it, but this machine seems to
compel secrecy, and to make the
various phases Of electoral crime q, d
abuse physical impossibili.ies. The
saving of money is said to he very
great, but the saving in p'liticai
denoral lizatio,, and corruption must
be, # the machine works uniformly
and continuously well, simply in
|calcnlable. II arper'y seesly

There is nothing in Panama
scandals, or in German army bills, or
in the commotion in the Home Rule
teacup, that approaches in impor-
tance this ominous notice from, the
New World, that America can no
longer be used as the dumping ground
for the surplus human refuse Of
Europe. If the senator's warning be
fulfilled, it will seem to many millions
as If the doors of hope had been.
closed upon mankind. For them,
hitherto, the prospect of an escape to
America, where wages were high and
| where the blood-tax was never leyied,
seemed the nearest equivalent for
their waning faith in a celestial para
disc. Skepticjsm and materialism
have dimmed their vision of the
heavens. Their one hope of better
ment, the only: terrestrial paradise,
lay across the Atlantic. And now
the gates Of the transatlantic Eden
are being barred before them. Sena.
tor Chandler, like the angel with the
flaming sword, denies them access to
the Promised Land. What are they
to do? Cut each others throats in
the mad struggle for sus'enance?
There is another way out, and that
way France, as the population re.
turns show, is resolutely practicing.
Last year the deaths outnumbered
the births in France by nine thousand
But for an excess of births over
deaths among the Italians and
Belgians of 1000 each, and 2,OO(
among other national,ies, the decrease
Of French population would have
been 10000 in the twelve mouths
The French cradle is not being le-
filed. Ten years ago there were
937 900 bnbies BORN in France IN one
year. Last year there were onl,
$4,000 births as against $4,000
deaths. There were mo,e marriages
than any year since 1884, but no>
more >children.-From the "Progres.

The following concerning the inAu:
ence Of reading on youth and the
value of good literature is found in a
communication to the Prison Mirror.
1t is too true that many of the Grim
in ais Of our prisons have become what
they are through the influence Of
trashy literature: "There is nothing
that elevates the morals of youth SC
much as elevating intellectual food
There are many good Juvenile peri
odicals that are within the means oI
the needy, and it is to be regretted
that more of this class of literature il
not read by the young. Place it with
in their reach, and blood and thun
der will be forgotten.
*There should be a crusade agains

by the broom Of reform into the pi
of oblivion. The publication ofsucl
trash should be suppressed. If al
the dime novels in the country wer
burued and the publication Of other
| prohibited, the reformatories woul'
| want for subjects to reform, ant
\ prisons would not be overcrowded

While fire, marine, and life insur-
ance are the principal branches, and
as such are we'll known among all
classes of the community, there are
Others of comparatively recent origin
and less widely known which have
already assumed large proportions.
Among these are:Q.) Accident in
surance; (2.) Plate glass insurance;
(3.) Steam boiler insurance; (4.)
Guaranty insurance, by which the
fidelity Of employees or servants is i'll
sured, ais, whereby corporate bonds
are furnished in place Of individual
bondsmen; (5.) Mortgage and Title
insurance; co. Hai|stone insurance;
G.) Insurance of horses. cattle, etc.
All these branches of insurance are in
successful operation in the United
States and in Europe. Their objects
are definite and legitimate, and they
afford opportunities Of spreading loss
es which would be crushing to in
diyiduals among large numbers of
persons, upon whom the loss to each
one falls lightly. There are many
other branches Of insurance which,
have been projected. and in some
cases actua y started, some of which,
may prove to he benefit to the COM
munity, while in other cases they are
of doubtful utility. Among these
may be mentioned: C1.) Credit in
surance, by which individual losses
III mercantile transactions may he
borne by the many; (2,) Insurance
against highwayman and robbery; q: }
Insurance CT marriage portions fo,
daughters. In the British, East India
service this has lern an important
and successful branch of insurance
! a. Insurance against issue and sur.
vivorship. fhls branch Of business
is quite important in Great Britain
where the law of entail exists, but i,
is not practised in the United States
(5.) Insurance against divorces; C.,
Insurance against destruction by
moths; 0.) Insurance against celibacy
