flung himself from his horse, tossed the
reins to one of the men, saying: Hold
all you can. Lead 'em to the hollow
yonder," and, kneeling, drove a long
range shot at some gaudily-painted
warriors clustered about some object
halfway up the opposite slope. Apony
plunged and reared, and a yell of rage
and defiance went up. Man after man,
nearly all the little squad sprang to
earth and opened brisk fire on every
Indian within rifle-shot, and every man
for himself, following the general lead
of Lambert and Dolan, strobe forward
up the gentle ascent towards dingy
mound, half earth, half logs, about a
quarter of mile ahead of Them, until
Dolan shouted right and eft: cease
firing! Stop your noise! Listen!"
And, borne down the wind, faint and
feeble, yet exultant, there came the
sound of distant cheer, and the rescuers
knew they had not risked their lives in
vain.

WOMEN AT THE HELM.
Place in Russia Where the Housewives
Run the Government.

Run the Government.
Among the curiosities of the Russian
dominions is a group of communes in
the government of Smolensk, surround
ing the convent of Besjukow, where not
only do women vote, but where they
practically do all the voting and office
holding.
As the returns from agriculture are
very meager in the district, and there
are large towns not far away, the male
inhabitants of the Besjukow neighbor-
hood emigrate to these towns early in
spring to find work, leaving few but
women and children at home, and not
coming home to attend to the little mat.
ter of voting.
lnasmuch as the women have to do
all the farm work as we'll as the house
work in this singular community, it
does not seem strange that they rather
insist upon holding the offices, and not
assigning them to such old men as may
be about. Furthermore, it is said that
they have for a period of several years
managed all the public affairs of the
Besjukow district so we'll that the men
are quite content to abandon the tedi-
Gus work of government to them.
Sometimes, when the head woman"
of the joint communes is presiding over
a public assembly of women to pass
upon important financial and other
concerns, certain of the men have been
known to come home for the purpose of
merely looking on and admiring the
method of procedure-cr else of heart
lily felicitating themselves upon being
rid of so bothersome a duty.-Youth's

the veranda of the old white homestead
at Pass Christian. The air was rich with
the fragrance of jasmine and magnolia;
a great bunch of roses lay on the little
table beside the reclining chair, where,
propped up with pillows, Mrs. Walton
was placidly enjoying the beauty of the
moonlit scene and rapturously contem-
plating the stalwart form of her soldier
son. 1t was too much-it was too soon

Helen Hunt Jackson, in a letter to
her physician, destribes stupid nurse
as follows:
Can | endure the presence of this
surly, aimless cow another day? No!
Why?
She has less faculty than any human
being L ever undertook to direct in
small matters.
When l ask her to bring me anything,
she rises slowly with a movement like
nothing L ever saw in my life, unless it
be a derrick.
She signs and drops her under. jaw
after every exertion.
She ''sets" with a ponderous inertia
which produces on me the most remark
able effect. 1 have a morbid impulse
to fling my shoes at her head and see
what would come of it.
She asks me in dismal tones if l am
well in other ways besides my throat,
conveying the impression by her slow
rolling eyes that L look to her like a
bundle of unfathonable diseases.
She takes the tray out of trunk to
get some article at the bottom (where
articles always are), and having given
me the article asks helplessly if she
shall put the tray back again. (Happy
thought.) Next time I'll tell her: 'No,
we keep the trays in piles on the floor"
Is this Christian? No, for she is
well-meaning and wishes to do Alright.
and 1 don't doubt every glance of my
eye sends thrill of inexplainabte dis
comfort through her.

THE eLuEsELLs OF OLD.


AS the furnishing wretch with the glut-
tonouS eyes
Gazes fiercely where plenty's arrayed
So eagerly turn from these colorless skies
To the cedar's empowering shade.
There we wandered at will in the grass
wet with dew,
Having never care to evade:
There the breeze swept the leaves till the
sun shimmered through
On the bluebells that grew in the shade.
Z All. the bliss-laden hours that dreamily
passed
Unawares while we aimlessly strayed.
They were dearer than aught that awaits
in the vast,
Somber depths of futurity's shade
Can the future restore to the heart of the
man
The unsullied delights of the boy?
Can the years which are part of futurity's
Give him back youths unreasoning joy?
Will the cares and the burdens of weari-
some days
Ever pass and his soul be arrayed
in the innocent mirth of the laddie who
Where the bluebells grow sweet in the
shade?
Idle fancies! No more in the days that may
dawn
Shall he live as he lived when he played
In the hope-haloed years that are faded
and gone
From the bluebells that bloomed in the
shade.
Still doth memory bide to recall to his
! heart
Vanished pleasures he knew by the
stream;
And she graciously leads him at evening
apart
For an hour to dwell in dream.
