gathered from case in point which
has just taken place in Sosslambek.
Bokayeff is the bridegroom's name,
and Neshkho that of the girl of sweet
sixteen who had the misfortune to find
favor in his eyes. His pockets being
empty he persuaded three comrades to
kidnap the maid, whom he then took
off to another village as his wife.
But her father, on discovering her
whereabouts, had her sent back by the
police, and then demanded $3.50 for
loss of her services, as we should say.
Bokayeff, to whom the demand was
made, would not or could not pay. The
girls father thereupon claimed that
sum from the bridegroom's com.
panions, who are equally liable They
admitted the justice of his claim and
called up Bokayeff to hand over the
sum to them. On his refusal they shot
him dead, that being the custom of the
country, although daggers are also al.
lowed to take the place of bullets.

Fear for Russian Forests.

The name wooden Russia" is fam
iliarly applied to the vast forest areas
of Russia in Europe, which cover 464,
54S,O acres, or SO per cent Of the en-
tire area of the country. Yet some fear
is felt that the country may be defor
ested through the carelessness Of pri
vate owners, and the government is
considering steps for the protection OF
the forests. In Russia houses built o.
any other material than wood are
almost unknown outside the cities. and
wood constitutes the principal fuel.

The Sick Room.

Never sit where your patient can,
not see you.
Never require a patient to repeat q
message or request Attend at once.
Never take the temperature in the
armpit until you are sure the skin is
dry
Never disregard a patients intelli-
gent craving for particular articles OF
diet
Never administer quantity of food
to patient until you have found out
if he can swallow.
Never allow a patient to be walked
out of his sleep either Intentionally or
accidentally.
Never use anything but a graduated
measure for measuring doses of medi-
cine unless ordered to administer the
dose in drops.
Never imagine that a patient who
sleeps during the day will not sleep
during the night. The more he sleeps
the better will he be able to sleep.
Never pour out a dose of medicine
anywhere but near the patient A dose
to the wrong patient or a double dose
to the right one may not harm the pa
rent, but it will certainly do no good.
Don't use artificial means to send a
child to sleep. Walking about with it.
rocking it and jogging it are also bad
habits. A child should be taught to
go direct to it's rest.

TOILET HINTS.
For Indigestisnn.

II you are troubled with Indigestion
try taking five minutes absolute rest
before and after every meal. Indiges-
ton very often arises from eating when
! tired. But the mind must be at rest
as well as the body. 1t is no good to
lie down and worry the whole time, and
then fancy you have been resting.
A Lotion For the Complexion.
| The following lotion is excellent for
cleaning ones face in the daytime in
stead of washing. Tie two tablespoon
fuls of oatmeal in muslin bag, and
drop into pint of boiling water. When
the water has cooled little, squeeze
| the bag to get all the goodness out of
the oatmeal. When cool, strain. and
add two tablespoonfuls of eau-de-co-
logne or alcohol
A Cheap loot Powder.
There is no better tooth powder than
precipitated chalk, and it has the
merit of being exceedingly cheap. If
You prefer a scented powder, mix it
with an equal quantity of powdered or
ris root. Remember that the teeth
should always be brushed up and down
as well as across. Only by doing them
in this way can particles of food that
happen to get between them be dis
lodged.
Care of the Eyes.
Never rub your eyes, nor allow your
children to do so, from their cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight, especially
those spotted or covered with a pat
tern; so eschew wells when you can, or
wear the softest, clearest net when
obliged TO do so.
Never read in bed or when lying on
sofa. Sit with your back to>,the light
when engaged in reading or working.
Pale blues or greens are restful wall
papers for the eyes, whereas red is
exceedingly fatiguing.
Do not read, write, or work longer
than two hours together without rest
ing your eyes and closing them for
fully five minutes.
Brushing the Skin.
1t is after you leave the bath that
the really important part begins Dry

How to Become Beautiful.

The real sculptors of the face are
no. from without; they are hands
spiritual working from within. Every
thought is an artist Every purpose
cuts like a chisen. Every prayer lends
dignity to the brow Every impure
desire leaves a mark of degradation.
In a bad man one can see mud in the
bottom of the eyes. 1t was this that
Ruskin had in mind when he spoke
of the operation of the intellectual
powers upon the features. in the fine
cutting and chiseling or them. in the
removal from them of signs of sensu-
ality and sloth. by which they are
blunted and deadened; in the substi-
tuition of energy and intensity for va
cancy and insipidity: in the keeness
given to the eye and the fine moulding
to the brow, in the open and refiec-
tive comprehensiveness of the eye and
the forehead; in tn waxing of the in
tellect that wears down the flesh and
the moral enthusiasm burning its way
out to heaven. through the emancipa-
ton of the earthly vessel, until the
face takes on an ideal glory, a purer
and higher range than that of the mere
material form" The fact none can
deny.
1t is this. doubtless. that explains
the strange facial resemblances be-
tween some husbands and wives in old
age. They began fifty years before, I'm

own light. Kindness is like a calm
and peaceful stream that reflects every
object in its just proportions. Kind
ness finds its way into hidden recesses
of the heart, and brings forth treasures
that otherwise would lie hid. Harsh
ness, on the contrary, seals them up
forever. Opportunities of doing kind
acts, if sought for. are forever start
ing up; and it is by words, by tones,
by little acts OF kindness recurring
daily and hourly that affection is won
and preserved. He who neglects to do
these trifes, yet boasts that when 4
great sacrifice is necessary he will be
ready to make the sacrifice, if he does
it at all will do so more for his own
sake than for that of his neighbor. We
are surrounded by sensitive hearts;
therefore, do not breathe a sentiment
or say word that will offend another.
or send a thrill of pain to his bosom.
But speak promptly when you feel
kindly. Many lose the opportunity of
saying kind word by waiting too long,

When Everything Goes Wrong.

Il is easy enough - be patient
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the one
who viii smile
When everything goes wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice Of
sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only a. negative virtue
Until ii is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor
of earth
Is the one that .resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife.
The worlds highway is numbered to-
day
They would make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion.
And the sadness that hides a. smile
1T is these that are worth the homage
of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.

But after long living in the same home,
loving the same books, thrilling with
