PLOT IN RUSSIA.

Among the Russian refugees in Lon

dent which recently occurred in the i'm
perial palace at ST. Petersburg. The gov
erness of the royal children. it appears.
entered the nurs&y a little before nine
o'clock one morning with the intention Of
giving the young princesses lesson.
Seeing by the clock on the mantelpiece
that she was five minutes before her US
ual time, she went back to her room and
began to read, and on her return TO the
nursery was much surprised to find that
the minute hand OF the clock had not
moved during her absence. Going up to
the clock she wa seven more surprised
to hear 1t ticking as usual, and, sum-
moning a servant, she bade him take it
to d matchmaker to be examined.
The matchmaker found in the interior
OF the clock a cartridge made a dyna-
mite and an internal machine which was
intended to explode at a certain hour,
and which would assuredly have ex-
ploded if the governess had not noticed
that the minute hand had not stopped.

WITH HAMMER AND ToNGS.

Those who have TO study the effects
of light and shade indoors will find it
worth while to peep now and then into
the cavernous gloom Of half a dozen
great foundries and like large workshops
scattered over the city.
There stands in Downing street, near
Varick, a large one-story brick build
ing, with a half arch for its doorway.
To look through this doorway at ten
o clock or thereabout on sunny morning
is to come upon a revelation of the un-
expectedly picturesque. The interior is
a wide irregular space, with earthen
floor and rough brick walls thickly coat
ed with dust. Scattered over the whole
floor areas are wagons of many sorts in
various stages o. completion and repair.
In a corner near the door is a gleaIn-
ing forge that lights up the smutty faces
and rough garments of the forgemen.
At the rear are three or four wide. low
windows. through which pours a food

was increased by a third train crashing
into the fiery mass and adding another

a fierce heat which puffffer forth at the

A number of heroic incidents occurred.

HARD ON STOUT PERSONS.

There is a small town In Eweden which
will very probably soon be deserted by
those of it's residents who are unusually
stout. The reason is because the loca
authorities recently issued an ordinance
to the effect that they intend to impose
a graduated tax on the residents. accord
ing to their weight and to spend the
money thus collected in making public
improvements.
Persons who weight 100 pounds or less
will not be taxed; those who weigh from
100 TO 200 pounds will each be taxed s.
a year; those who weigh from 200 to 35t
pounds will each be taxed Sc a year and
a tax for a larger amount, which will be
in strict proportion to the weight, will
be sent annually to every one who weighs

yielded $4,000 tons Of ore in the year 1893,
and 100000 tons last year. The guam
tity is expected to be largely increased
now that there are better facilities for
getting the mineral out of the country.
The Swedish ores are regarded as among
the best steel ores in the world, but they
are difficult to reduce because Of the
phosphorus in them. AS Sweden has no
coal with which TO smelt them she sells
most of the ore to England and Germany.
