AMIABLE BARBARIANS.
Interesting Anecdotes of Tolstoi end Melikoff. From the Czar down to the humblest mujik, the Russians are more or less barbarians, from the point of view of the refined West, but certainly most amiable barbarians, so far as foreigners are concerned. As an example of the strange contrasts of real Russia we we will cite two anecdotes that were related to us by a distinguished official. The conversation happened to turn upon General Loris Melikoff, the famous chief of the dreaded “Third Section,” The Emperor, we were told by our informant, had given Loris Melikoff unbounded power to act against the nihilists, and had virtually created him Vice Emperor, as Melikoff himself used to say. Now, Melikoff had discovered that one of the leading nihilist chiefs was in the habit of frequently visiting Count Tolstoi, the novelist, and one day he went out to Tolstoi’s country house. Before the visitor had announced himself, Tolstoi recognized him, and said: “You are Loris Melikoff, chief of the Third Section. Do you come to see me officially, or as a private man ? If you come officially, here are my keys; search; open everything. You are free.”
“I come not officially,” replied Melikoff. “Very good,” answered Tolstoi, and calling two mujiks he said to them: “Throw this man out of the house.” The mujiks obeyed Tolstoi to the letter, and Loris Melikoff had to accept this treatment, for in his way Tolstoi is a mightier man than even “our father the Czar.” In the eyes of the Russian people he is an exceptional being, being more than a saint and almost a savior.
The mention of Loris " Melikoff brought up another anecdote. Some twelve years ago the Emperor sent for Melikoff and annouced to him that the plague was raging in two villages of the empire, and ordered him to do whatever was needful with a view to stopping its ravages, at the same time giving him unlimited powers. Thereupon Loris Melikoff went first of all to the Minister of Finance, informed him that he should perhaps require a great deal of money in order to carry out the Emperor’s commands, and demanded a credit of 50,030,000 of rubles. The Minister of Finance made a long face, but was unable to refuse. Loris Melikoff then posted to the village in question, and, having observed the situation, he telegraphed for twenty fire-engines to be sent from the neighboring towns, had the pumps charged with petroleum, and ordered the firemen to approach the villages by night, inundate the cottages with petroleum, set them on fire, and save nobody. The order was executed, the cottages and their few hundred inhabitants—men, women, children, and cattle—were burned to ashes, and those two villages disappeared from the map of Russia and from the registers of the empire. The measure was radical, but it stamped out the plague effectually. Loris Melikoff thereupon reported to the Emperor that his command had been executed, and then called on the Minister of Finance to tell him that out of the credit of 50,000,000 of rubles granted to him he had only spent 200 rubles to buy petroleum, and that consequently his excellency the Minister could dispose of the balance. —Theodore Child, in Harper's Magazine.
Novel Way of Preserving Venison.
A young friend of mine, who has for several y§ars each summer gone wi th his father on a camping trip on the south shore of Lake Superior, tells me of a novel expedient they often employed of preserving their venison in warm weather, says a -writer. In that country some of the streams are flanked by long rows of sand-hills, whose composition is so loose that they shift about continually under a wind "of any force. In the winter time the high winds often blow the sand over the great snow banks which lie upon the north side of the sand dunes, covering up the snow to a depth of several feet. The snow is thus kept unmelted, and even in the middle of summer one can dig down through the sand to it and find the best imaginable sort of a natural refrigerator. In this way, said my young friend, they buried their deer and trout, and found they kept entirely fresh so long as they cared to leave them. This is certainly a new instance of nature’s bountifulness with the sportsman.
A Curious Discovery.
A curious discovery connected with the recent disastrous fire at Spokane Falls, Montana Territory, is reported by a local paper. A safe becoming cracked by the intense heat, the books inside were charred and baked to a blackened crisp, though they remained intact. Not a figure could be read. One of the bookkeepers, while turning over the leaves, noticed that where his finger, which was wet, touched the page the figures became legible. He procured a paint brush, dipped it in water and dampened the whole page, and was gratified to see all the figures dimly outlined. Two bookkeepers than went to work, and by wetting the pages and carefully turning the leaves succeeded in a few days in transferring all the accounts to" a new set of books. “Well, my dear, what did you think of Dr. Verbose’s sermon this morning V” “Why, I was very much surprised. I never knew before that the apparently simple text he chose was so hard to explain.”
Not to Be Caught Napping.
Real-estate agent (showing prospective purchaser a tract of bottom land)—You won’t find another quarter section like this within a hundred miles of here. Look at the color of the soil. See how the land lies toward the sun. It’s cheap at double the price. Prospective purchaser—But isn’t it sometimes under water ? Does this stream never overflow its banks ? Real-estate agent—Overflow ? Never, sir, never! Prospective purchaser (happening to spy a bunch of half-decayed grass and driftwood lodged twenty feet above his head in the fork of a tree) —How do you suppose that clymp ever got up there ? Agent (enthusiastically)—Don’t you see the tree grows right on the edge of the bank ? That bunch of stuff was caught there when the tree was a little bush. Probably happened a year or two ago. Just as I said, sir. Richest soil in the world, sir !—Chicago Tribune.

Van Wert, Ohio. July 11. 1889. Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents —l his is to certify that I had what is called sciatic rheumatism so badly that I was all drawn over to one side. My hip sank in so that you could lay your hand in the cavity, and I could do no work for over one year. I tried some of the best physicians and did almost everything I could hear or think of, and nothing did me any good until I purchased a bottle of Hibbard’s Kheumatic Syrup of Hines & Son, druggists.

Sir Andrew, the Beggar.
When Andrew Clark filtered London Hospital as an assistant he was in poor health. “Poor Scotch beggar,” said one of the faculty, “let him have a place; he cannot possibly live more than six months.” He is now, after these many years of eminent service, Sir Andrew Clark, perhaps the most famous physician in England.—Toronto Globe.
Breathing the Germs of Disease.
1 To inhale the germs of disease with their daily breath is the fate of denizens of malarjascourged localities everywhere. The endemic atmospheric poison may, however, be rest of its venom and rendered innoxious by a defensive use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. This preeminently safe and effective remedy and safeguard not only eradicates the disease when developed, but enables the system to safely bravo its assaults. Every physical function is confirmed in or restored to regularity, the circulation quickened if sluggish, and a bilious habit, which of itself begets a proneness to both intermittent and remittent types of malarial disease, where extrinsic atmospheric causes exist, powerfully counteracted by this inimitable fortifying and defensive agent, which has, moreover, none of the disagreeable characteristics of a drastic cathartic or an alkaloid. Fever and ague, dumb ague and ague cake, aud the calentura of the Isthmus, are conquered by it surely, pleas-antly. Rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, kidney aud bladder troubles, constipation and indigestion yield to it.
Got Himself Ready.
“John Henry,” exclaimed the angry wife, “you needn’t pretend you’re asleep! Now, you listen to me. I’m going to give you a piece of my mind.” “Wait a minute, Serena,” said John Henry, as he got out of bed and groped his way to the hoot closet. “What are you doing?” demanded the exasperated Serena. “I’m preparing mysejf,” replied John Henry, and a moment later the famous ex-catcher of the world-renowned champion Sockdologer Base-ball Club had lighted a lamp and was standing in his well-known attitude in the middle of the floor with his old mask, bi eastpad and leather gloves on. gt,“Go ahead, Serena,” he said, calmly.
Marriage
Is but the stepping-stone to those divine institutions, the family and the home, which constitute the very foundation on which our nation rests: and upon the health and strength of tho wife and mother depends the sunshine and enjoyment of the home and the prosperity of the family. Thousands of wives, and thousands of single ladies, drag out a weary existence in consequence of perplexing “female disorders,” in total ignorance of the lact that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a positive cure lor the most complicated and obstinato cases of leucorrhoa, prolapsus, weak back, “female weakness.” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation, ulceration and kindred ailments.

We guarantee they have no equal in the cure of Sick Headache. Constipation. Dyspepsia. Biliousness; and, as an appetizer, they excel aity other preparation. Now we know why a Jap wears such a pained look on hi's face. The Japanese cucumber is over three feet long. The saving in clothing where Dobbins’ Electric Soap is used is twenty times the soap bill. It is no new experiment, but has been sold for 24 years. To-day just as pure as in 1865. Try it. Your grocer has it.

Chinese Endurance.
Though a Chinaman is said to have no nerves, he has muscle enough to do some astonishing feats of continuous horseback riding. Four thousand five hundred miles must be covered to go from Pekin to Shassa. A special Government messenger will complete this journey in thirty-six davs —an average of 125 miles a day. He is restricted to a prescribed diet, four hours sleep per diem, mounts a new horse every few miles, changes his clothes once a week, and, excepting to do so, never takes his yellow mail-bag off his back.
