Human Sacrifices fin Russia.

lEIOsu NIc pd1-Att Qc tGkulEk f6icsrth- 1N Very few persons are aware that human
 sacrifices are s,ill offered up iu part of
 the Russian empire. The fact is. never
 thelsss, certain. Among the Tchuktoh!s
 suoh sacrifices still take plscs, and seem
 likely to bs practi,ed for 6 long time to
 come. At the same time 10 blame can be
 attached to the Russian government or to
 the Orthodox church, because all efforts to
 stop the practice have proved intellectual.
 The sacrifices alluded to are thoee of old
 psople and the sick. who, finding no
 longer any pleasure in life, resolve to have
 done with earthly existence and to increase
 the number of happy spirits.
 The Tcbuktchi who has made up his
 mind to die immediately notifies his ueis b.
 oors and near relatives. His friends visit him and try to make him change his mind. Prayers, approaches, complaints have no effect on the fanatic. Seeing him thus re- solved, his friends go away to make the
 customary preparations. At the end of from ten to fifteen days they return to the
 hut of the Tehuktchi. with white mortua-
 " garments and some weapons with
 which, In the other world, he will 6ght evil spirits or hunt ihe reindeer. After making his toilet the Tchuktchi withdraws into e corner of his hut. His nearest rel
 alive stands by his side holding in his
 hand the instrument of saori6ce-s knife,
 c pike or 6 rope. If the Tchuktchi has chosen the knife, two of his friends hold
 him under the arms and by the wrist, and at given signsl tue ssoriHcer thrusts the
 knife into his breast. If the pike has been chosen, two of his friends hold this weapon, and two ethers throw the victim on its point. For strangulation. two of the sscriacers draw the rope tight until death ensues, then the breast is opened to let the blood flow out. The assistants 20 to the corpse, and bathe their hands and faces In the blood. The body is then placed on e sledge drawn by reindeer
 and taken to ths place of the funeral.
 Arrived e. their destination, the Tchukt-
 chis cut the throat of the reindeer, take from the dead body its clothing, which they tear to pieces, and then place the eorpse on . funeral pile. During the pro- cess of cremation the assistants offer up prayers to the happy souls in the other world, asking them to watch over those who are yet in the land of the living. These practices, horrible as they are, are followed in exactly tine same manner to. day as in ancient times

STILL SOME WORK TO DO.

It appears that there is at least one
 branch of industry which Is not over
 crowded. The labor bureau at the Barge
 office in New York is overwhelmed with
 demands for farm help. Orders have come
 even from the Pacific coast, and not long
 ago request came for men to so to
 Alaska. Other trades and occupations are
 supplied at the Barge office, but the farm
 CTS are the most clamorous The farmers do
 not want Italians and Hungarians. because
 they do do not learn Epglish readily and
 are not acquainted with northern farm
 farm at home has no trouble In securing a
 job. German farmers also are acceptable,
 and good wages are paid to euoh men.
 Eighteen dollars 8 month and board and
 lodging Is much better than the Irishman
 has done at home and he does not wait
 long for better chance. "Ws could place
 fifty farmers a day if we had them," eaid
 the superintendent, land as fast as we sat

 And Mrs. Clara T. Leonard of Spring
 field, Massachusetts, says that she has long
 wished to bring to the attention of the good people of Boston and otber cities who are providing the unemployed with work, which is arti6oially created to benefit them, the condition of our rural districts. Farm. ing Is becoming more and more difficult,
 almost impossible, for want of trust worthy farm laborers. Farmers wives really suf. fer for want of domestic help. "1n the beautiful and prosperous village of Long
 meadow and other similar neighborhoods to Springfield, within easy distance of our city, families actually suffer for want of household assistance. I have lately known rich farmers wives with young children willing to pay good wsges, unable to get any domestic whatever. Meantime the young women crowd into our large cities and refuse to go into the country. Every we'll meant effort which draws the population needed in the country into the oity, where 1t is superHuous, creates dependents and paupsrism on the one hand, and cripples the farmer in his resources on the other. regard the movement of the rural population to our congested cities and the lack of early train. ing in oil manual labor ss the two prime factors in all our poverty and paupelism.'

Accompanied by half the nobility of Austria, went to the Carlsbad Springs for the recovery of his health. Six thousand six hundred horses, SO the town records say, were necessary to convey the com- pany to the place.
 The virtues of the water is as great at the present day as it was in the time of Charles H., and al- though the expense attached to a journey thither is not as great now as it was then, we are not all wealthy enough to undertake it. For such the virtue of the Carlsbad Spring is extracted. The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, obtained by evapora- tion, containing all the solid con- stituents of the water, can be ob. tained at every drug store.

The Ignoble Art of Bxagseratfou.
 lErnra n tL.


 Fadd!sts are the masters of the irnobls art of exsggerstion. If one wishes to avoid eIsggerstion, one is careful to meas. ure one's speech; one is never in extremes. Fsddists seldom measure their speech; they are almost invariably In extremes. Tee totalers, anh-smokers, anii-vsccinstors. ausi-everythipgises, vegetarians, the peo- pie who would "put down" fiction, the rs- tional enjoyments of the Sunday, theat,es, dancing, cards, billiards, 80 many of the things which make life worth the living; If these people did not exsgeerste they would forever hold their peace. Unfortu- nately, exsegerstion is too often their only weapon. The clear, dry light of truth Is not for them. They could not live in such an atmosphere for an hour. It would be we'll If our weak-kneed brethren could be brought to understand what 6 plain and certain fact this is. It might bring pssce and comfort to their minds.
 The more attentively one considers the subject, the more clearly one percsives how almost universally prsvAlen, is the vios of exsgseration. One supposes 1t Is c vice. There are the clerics at one end and the politicians at the other; the cler- ies of all the cresds. There is the No hsmmedsn, who tells you that If you do not do certain things certain other dread ful things will happen. There Is the Bud dhisf, who assures you of the paramount and, indeed, vital necessity which exlsts why you should do certain altogether diff ferent and entirely incompatible things. And the same positive, and, in truth, su- perlstive assertions meet one nearer home. The religious atmosphere, all the world over, is too apt to be crowded with exay geration. one ,eldom enters 6 place of worship, belonging to any one of our nine hundred and ninety-nine different sects. without hearing at least-vsll, ssy, one exsgserstiop, uttered by the pArson in the to say. But though 'tis true, 'ds pity, pity 'us 'tis true.
 We get on to safer ground when we 3D. prosch the politicians. Every one recos- nizes that there Is sxssgeratIon among them. We all of us have Radical friends vbo will be first to allow that the Tories hsbituslly deal In what 1t would be cour- tesy to call congregations: while that the Radicals are, of their nature, compelled to exasgerste, none will be readier to sdrIt than the Tories If, on the other hand. you go to a third person, an individual who cries plague on both their houses, you will find him prepared to concsde that both psrties-all Eides-exsggerats alike. And, possibly, that third person will not be so far out as he might be. One Is al- most forced to the painful conclusion that fsddists, clerics and politicians make what may be called trade of eIsggerstion.

AN AUDACIOUS SCHEME.

Il AN AUDACIOUS SCHEME.
 We have received reliable information that there has been meeting of men who
 are more or less conspicuous Republicans aad who are slso mere or less conspicuous lobbyists. This meeting was held for the purpose of talking over the political sItua-
 tion and seeing what can be done toward l controlling the action of the next Republi-
 can State convention, especially in the
 matter of the nomination for governor. These lobbyists could use governor in
 their business, and they do not mean to
 lack one if they are smart enough to lead, drive or humbug the Republicans who are
 not lobbyists into letting them have one.
 It is generally understood that this is
 going to be Republican year in Conneo- ticut. It will perhaps also be good year for the lobby. But 1t will not be good year for the Republican party of the State if that party allows itself to be bound hand and foot by few men whose chief interest in Republication is financial Some of these men have already more power in the party than they ought to have, and they have greatly misussd 1t. They are plotting now for more power and more money. They want the chsirnanship and the control of the State Central com mittee. They want the nomination of their candidate for governor. And they will want to nsme the Speaker of the house. If they can carry out this ar rapgement they will be able to do good to themselves and make money.
 There should be an uprising against these men among all the honest and sincere Republicans. They should not be allowed to use the party for their own base pur- poses. It will be a shameful thing If they are able by the exercise of their arts to put their tools in the chief places of power and then boldly and confidently demand trib- ute from all who find themselves In @ posi- tion where they can be blsckmailed by the gang. These men are well known. They should bs watched and sat on with great vigor whenever the interests of the party demand that they should bs 50 treated. The nominees for State officers should be free from all taint of the lobby, and the convsn- ton should be run by the sincere Rspub- licans and not by those who are known to be Ion the make" The convention should place before the people clean ticket, and they will cleo. 1t. But If the convention becomes a prey to Republican lobbyists, aided and abetted by Democratic lobbyists, the people will perhapa he able to zee through the game and recent 1t. The Democrats could ask nothing better than the success of the plans that have been made. It Is not for the interest of good Republi- csnism or good morals that these plans ehould succeed.
