Terrible Fire in a Barracks In Russia
"A Soldier Accused.

"A bOlOlcr hccuseu.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.--The Nawsky
infantry barracks at RoslAvl, province Of
Smolensk, were burned last night. The
fre was discovered shortly after 10 o'clock
by q non-commissioned officer. He gave
the alarm. but before all the men could be
reused the flames had spread through most
of the building. About 400 mon ran out
in their night clothes. or the sixty who
were driven to the roof and obliged to
jump for their lives, eleven were killed and
eight were injured SO severely that they
will die. Twenty-three men and five non
commissioned officers were overcome In
the halls or rooms by the smoke and heat,
and were burned to death.
Many other soldiers are missing, but IL
has been impossible ~ yet to learn
whether their bodies are In the ruins or
whether they are merely injured. and are
being cared for by friends In the town.
The fire Is believed TO have been set by d
member Of the regiment, a. 1t spread more
rapidly than would have been possible
under ordinary circumstances.

The FIIlet Eu3enie.

Upon her FIRST visit to Paris Eu-
genie's beauty was ravishIng. She
was likened to a snow fake on a July
day; like the fairy-like mist that
hangs over Niagara; like all that is
pureSt, freshest, loveliest in nature
was the impression that she produced
upon people. Once at a great ball
she was clad entirely in white, of the
1eeciest, gauZiest, mistieSt descriD-
ton, and with very simple parrure
Of emeralds and diamonds glistening
in her blonde hair, looping up her
transparent sleeves, and shining on
her lovely neck, she was as complete
ly vision of delight as eye ever
rested on.
The remainder Of the story Is
known, and her marriage, her reck-
less extravaganza, the war, her down
fall and escape, are tales of history
told again and again. She encouraged
frIVOlity and spent money more reck-
leSsly, perhaps, than any other woman
ever did. She was conceded to be the
bcst-dressed woman in the world
Her wardrobe cost $1,000, 900, and
her Jewels were OF fabulous value.
She spent SO, 900 a day for househ ola
expenses. 1t was the age of gold.
She undoubtedly was the cause of her
own downfall, but she did many kind
lY deeds. She was one of the first to
recognize the merits of Rosa Bonheur,
and it was by her wish that the tai
ented artist was decorated. Her
- =
woman in history. She is all alone
Her jewels have been scattered to the
corners of the earth; her crown is
torn asunder, and the precious stones
are now used to decorate women she
never saw. Her steps are doyQed by
spies when she steals like a house
breaker into beloved Paris. Her
beauty and strength have faded. She
has waited long for the end.-Ladies

1t is suggested that because a bare
nead is dangerous to many people the
showing of reverence and respect at
grave sides in this way should be
abandoned. The danger is eXag-
gerated, and the custom need not be
followed by those to whom it is harm
full But there are many who think
it would be better to adopt the. Mus
Sulman custom at once, and fully,
than To suggest that in all outdoor
functions men may be covered. One
who would never submit to such
rule of irrcverence is Mr.. Gladstone,
who is quite fearless of being without
his hat Addressing his constituents
in the open air, or passing through
streets crowded in his honor, or at
the grave of a friend, Mr.. Gladstone
is always uncovered. In fact, ne
would just as soon be without hat
altogether, except in sunshine. This
Is partly constitutional and partly
due to his habit as a woOdman. A
good woodman rarely wears a hat at
work; the movement of the ak would
'hake it off.-London Letter.

THE IDEAL GARDEN.

"Yos~must know. sir, that 1 look
upon the pleasure which we take in a
garden. as one of the most Innocent
delights in human life. A garden was
the habitation of our first parents be-
fore the fall. 1t is naturally apt TO fill
the mind with calmness and tranquility
and to lay all its turbulent passions at
rest. 1t gives us great insight into
the contrlyance and wisdom of Provi-
dence and suggests innumerable sub
jects for meditatiu
ADDISON.
There are gardens of every type; in
one place we see an utter lack of order
and taste, in another a stiff, formal ar
rangement which suggests ratna-
square and compass than the graceful
beauty of naturt. But there is happy
mean where the charms of nature are
enhanced and perfected by the labor
of man and the exercise of q tasteful
art In tina ideal garden shall bloom
the daughters of the year" in never
ending succession, from the time the
first snowdrops and crocuses peep from
the frozen earth, until the last asters
and chry rysanthemums hang ragged on
their frozen stalks, in chill November
days. Here is smooth green lawn
where perfect beanty Is not dis6gured
by ill-designed and ontlandish beds
with senseless combinations of colors
and foliage, but its velvet greenness
stretches unbroken to some shaded
corner or by the margin of walk
where the flowers form a grateful
frame for the lawn. Here are beds of
ANNALS which bloom III succession, or
ior the summer, as sweet peas and
nasturtiums, and there a bright par
teIre where graceful foliage or brilliant
Loom adoTns some welf chosen loca-
ton. Vines droop from window and
bower, roses blossom in the we'll
pruned hedges. The lilies of tune
scent the warm air and the bed of pan
sizes sreets the children every day.
But this ideal garden requires much
plotting and planning befor rehand so
that every waste corner may be util-
lzed, every unsightly object hidden,
and the beds filled from month to
month with such flowers as will insure
a daily blossomIng, and this early
Spring weather is just the time for
working out ones ideas upon paper
ready for transferal TO the garden plot
when Spring is fairly upon us. Orders
should be sent IN early that they may
he filled IN season, pansies and other
seeds sown Ill winter boxes ready for
transplanting when the beds are made,
and every tool and seed paper laid in
order for the busy times coming.

tn. Ravares of the Rookworn.

One of the greatest plaques with
which the librarian ha' to deal Is a
little insect called AuglOssa pinguin-
alis, which deposits its Larvae in books
in the autumn. These produce a
mite which does great deal Of mis-
chief. Small wood-boring beetles
also cause much destruction among
the covers and bindings. The best
preventive is the use of mineral salts
in the binding. Where this has not
been done, the book shelves should be
,prinkied with powdered alum and
pepper, and the books should be rubbed
3nce or twice a year with a piece
Of cloth that has been steeped in a
solution of alum aid dried. This
