The greater portion OF the labors Of
Mr.. Breckenridge, Minister to Russia
during the last year. us revealed by the
published foreign relations OF the United
States. seem to have followed an nstruc-
ton from the State Department to pro-
test against the practice OF the Russian
Consuls in the United States of refusing
to wise passports Of American citizens
going to Russia il they happened to be OF
the Jewish faith. At the point where
the publication closes he was obliged to
bluntly inform the Russian Government
that the United States could not acqul-
esce in the operation Of such foreign tri-
bunals in the United States. Mr.. Brock
inridge's presentation of the case was
formally approved by Secretary Olney.
Another important subject considered
was the absolute nsistence Of the Rus"
sian Government upon its right to punisn
any Russian who falls into its power
after becoming q citizen of the United
States or any other country. The CORE
spon4ence of this subject was so spirited
as to lead Minister Breckinridge to
complain to Secretary. Olpey that Prince
Lobnlaw's note to him had been lacking
In courtesy. As the matter stands the
Russian Government rests firmly in its
right to punish Russians who become
United States citizens il they return to
Russia. Meanwhile Mr.. Breckenridge
prudently suggests that proper warning
be given TO Russians naturalized In the
United States 10 keep away from Russia.

After-Enects of Grippe.

No one has, up to date, been able sat-
isfactorily to diagnose the aftcr-effects
of this remarkable epidemic. An emf
nent authority, in commenting on its
peculiarities, says that fresh Gir is the
best tonic ard restorer. Among the
more serious symptoms of conva-
lescence is the extreme depression to
which the patient is liable. In this state
a suicidal tendency is often developed,
and hysteria 10 not uncommon. This
is specially noted in cases where there
has been great deal of pain in the
head. Pleasant and absorbing occupa-
ton is one of the best helps to recovery
Nourishing food, not too concentrated,
a reasonable amount of exercise, stop.
ping far short of the point of weari-
ness, are also advantageous. Above all,
indulgence in depression should BE-
avoided, as this may develop into q
chronic melancholia, and end in a mem
tai disease of-a serious character. As a
summary of treatment, take plenty Of
fresh air, simple tonics, nourishing food
and laugh and enjoy everything that
comes in the way.-N. Y. Ledger.

man No. 1, has been loading the gum
he puts in it projectile to which is
fastened strong braided line, 600 ards
long, and 80 coiled in box that it may
follow the shot without getting en-
tangled. If their aim Is well taken,
the shot will pass over the wreck and
the short-line will fall across some part
of the vessel.
The crew on the wreck haul in this
line, to which the life-savers have at
tached pulley with heavier rope
through it; both ends of this rope are
kept on shore.
Fastened to this pulley, or tail block,
Is n tally-board with directions in
French and English, instructing the
wrecked men how and where to make
il fast.
When it is fast on board the vessel
the life-savers fasten a hawser to one
side of the whip-line and haul on the
other, and the hawser is pulled out to
the wreck; this hawser also bears a
tally-board, directing that it be made
fast two feet above the whip-line
Now there is one endless small rope,
and large one three and q half inches
in circumference, connecting the wreck
with the shore.
To this large rope Is fastened the
breeches-buoy (whose form r well
known) by a snatch-block; this block
can be opened at one side and closed
securely after it has been slipped over
the hawser.
Meantime, the surfmen have buried
the sand-anchor deep in the sand, and
tackles are hooked to this anchor and
the hawser, which has been made taut.
Then crotch is set under it upon the
beach, which raises it over eigrt feet
from the ground. The breeches-buoy
now hangs from the hawser by the
snatch block; to the sings by which
the buoy is attached to the block one
side of the whip-line has been made
fast, and the buoy is hauled of to the
wreck; a man gets in, putting leg into
each opening, and is hauled tn shore
through surf that often covers him;
he is taken out, and the breechcs-buoy
travels to and fro over this aerial rail
way till all are rescued.
Then the apparatus is recovered as
far as possible, the beach-cart is drawn
back to the station, the boat and gear
are put in order, and the rescued ones
are attended to.-'The Story o. Life

that will be young ladies by-and-by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam, He said to Him
self: We'll, think can do better IL
try again. and then He made Eve.
God liked Eve so much better than
Adam, that there have been more women
than men. Boys are C. trouble. They
wear out everything, but soap. II l

CANINE VOCALIST.
Tennessee Has Dog Of Whom tho People
Are Justly Proud.

Are Justly Proud. 7,
While on a trip through Moore coun-
ty, Tenn, recently, was the guest Of
Rev. Frank NJ. Downing, who lives in
the neighborhood of a small settlements
called County Line. His family con-
sists of himself nnd wife and a small
yellow deg, which 1 noticed received
an unusual amount of care and atten-
ton. AS there was nothing particular
ly attractive about the dog, which was
only mongrel cur, / rather wondered
at their manifest affection, and one day
inquired the reason for 1t. Mr.. Down
ing, for answer, called: "Benchl" and
placed him in a chair, commanding him
to "crow." My establishment was un-
bounded when the dog gave perfect
imitation of Shanghai rooster, and
without further command followed 1t
with the neigh of u horse, lowing of
cows, grunts and squeals of pigs, whin-
ing of cats, and various noises incident
to farm life. He could give all the
yelps of pack Of hounds in pursuit OF
fox, and in so realistic manner that
you could scarcely help believing that
hunt was in progress.
Mr.. Downing said nobody had taught
the animal, and his peculiar initiative
powers were discovered by accident.
The summer previous, when Bench was
mere puppy, Rev. John Malcolm, the
preacher for their circuit, was Ill at
Downing's house, and was made ex-
tremely nervous at night by a rooster
Growing at all hours beneath his win
dow. The people who were attending
him could not discover the rooster, but
one morning Mrs. Downing, in passing
the window, was startled by seeing the
puppy throw back his head and crow.
She fastened to relate the circum-
stances TO her husband, who was in
credulous and carefully watched the
dog. He quickly corroborated his wife's
story, and for some time the neighbors
flocled to see the wonderful dog. He
quickly learned to crow at command,
and each day picked up some new
sound. Last November neighbor Of
Mr.. Downing carried Bench to Nash
vile while the Bnrnum g. Bailey show
was there, and the manager offered a
handsome price for him, saying that he
was convinced Bench could be taught
to talk, but Mr.. Downing refused to give
him up. In appearance Bench is not

Pet Goat as a smuggier.

The customs authorities of an Eng
lish port have unearthed new method
OF smuggling. On passenger steamer
plying to France there was a pet long
haired goat, which regularly accom-
panied the crew. A discharged sailor
gave away the scheme, and on the next
trip the goat was seized. Examination
showed that the goats own hair had
been clipped very close, then round its
body were packed cigars, lace and
other dutiable articles, and then the
false coat was skillfully put OH and
fastened with hooks and eyes. After
this experience, even a poodle dog Is
pinched and pulled around by the Off
GERS before being allowed to pass.
