The Russian Fur Trade.

During winter, says the London Times, the peasants of the northern provinces of Russia are transformed into hunters, aud supply the two capitals with enormous quantities of feathered and fur game, captured chiefly by means of nets and snares. Simultaneously with this supply of food, St. Petersburg and Moscow receive the furs of Siberia, furnished by the squirrel. The Zyrians, a wild people dwelling along the banks of the Petchora, are peculiarly expert in capturing these little animals. In certain years they appear in such vast quantities that the village roofs throughout Y iatka are seen to swarm with them, and even in ordinary years the single district of Slobodsk sends to market 300,000 skins. At the first appearance of snow the Syrian hunters repair to the deepest recesses of the Petchora forests. They are grouped in companies and equipped in a strange costume handed down from generations and well adapted to the chase. They build huts at a suitable spot, in which they live, but hardly breathe, so closely are they packed, and the whole forms a sort of camp. The koulaks, or village speculators, buy at very low prices the product of the hunt and convey it to the fair of Irbit, which opens on the Ist of I'ebruary, and whither the great fur merchants of the empire send their agents. The squirrel skins are sold there for 15 copecs each, and from three to six millions of them change hands at every fair. The zibeline fur is sold in groups of 40 skins. In 1885 there were exhib-. ited for sale at Irbit 150 groups at the rate of 200 rubles a group. The quantity of other furs was still more con-siderable—-200,000 fox, a like number of hare, and 1,500 bear skins, etc. The cost of the transport from Irbit to St. Petersburg is high, aud varies from 4 to 12 rubles the pood. The purchases at a fair for the capital amount to 500,000 rubles every winter. All these furs are deposited in a rough state at the Gostinnof-Dvor; they are there cut, cleansed, and divided into five categories, each according to quality. A multitude of women are employed in sewing the small pieces together. For a pelisse of zibeline, from forty to eighty of the little animals art) cenerally required, but a pelisse composed only of the paws takes four hundred pieces to make it. The pri.e of a garment of this -precious fur varies between 300 and 7,000 rubles —i. e., between £3O and £7OO. Large quantities of fur pass through St. Petersburg on the way to foreign marts, especially to the fair at Leipsic.

Smiles as a Means of Expression.

In the first place, there is the presentation smile of society. Yon are presented to a lady, who not only bows to show that she puts lierself at your feet, and perhaps gives her hand to show that she does not mean to pull hair or scratch (I still follow the doubtless correct evolution theory of ceremonials), but she “smiles and smiles” to show that her mood is one of sweet amiability, and that you are therefore, for the present, safe. Then there is the pretty, pearly, rippling laugh, with which your “nutbrown” anecdote, which has been heard already twice this evening, is received. Here, certainly, there is no pent-up cascade of emotion that seeks for an outlet. The sweet lady’s laugh is partly for your sake, that you may feel the soft thrill of self-applause; and partly for her own, because she knows she laughs well. iShe pulls it exactly as if it were a stop in an organ. Then there is the bitter laugh of the sad, sad young man, who wishes to impress upon your mind the hollowness that all things have for him ; and the well-managed smile of Jaques, the elder cynic, who thinks thus to wither your youthful aspirations, and at the same time to suggest his own unfathomed deeps of cruel disillusion. —AU lantic Monthly. A recent visitor to a Mexican silver mine relates that he was shown a mass of mercury, weighing two pounds, taken from the stomach of a horse that had worked in the pa'io. He says: “In this primitive Mexican process, which seems to be well suited to tne wants of the country, the ground ore, or silver mud, is mixed with salt, mercury, etc. The horses that tread this mud for weeks, in order to 5 ' mix the chemicals, attracted by the salt, lick up the mud, and take in the poisonous quicksilver. This, accumulating in the system, finally kills them. I was informed that the bones of these animals are ground up, in order to obtain the mercury in them.” The telegraph line built by the French in Tonquin having recently failed to work, it was found, upon investigation, that the chief of ..one of the native villages had appropriated a quantity of the wire to his own use, and replaced it with a cord of vegetable fiber. He was very much surprised when informed of the damage he had done, and had no idea but that he had made “a fair exchange, and no robbery. ” The habit of administering medicines in capsules has received a set-back in the announcement that, if there is any form of alcohol in the stomach at the time of swallowing the capsule, its gelatine is rendered insoluble. When the stomach has been rendered irritable from excesses in strong drink, medicines should not be given in capsules, as they are not likely to be dissolved. An assistant to Prof. Virchow, Dr. Grawitz, finds that about one-third of the cases pronounced in life muscular rheumatism are shown by post mortem examination to be due to trichina 1 , or pork worms. In instances observed, the parasites must have been present in the muscles for many years. Dorchester furnished a company of seventy-four men, under eommand of Capt. John Withington, for the hapless expedition against Canada in 1690. Forty-six members of this company perished at sea. “Pennv-wise, pound-foolish,” soliloquized the man in church, and, he put the in the box and the pound in his pocket. _ - * The invention of the mowing machine dates back to 1881, when the "Manning Mower” was perfected.

Incidents of the Siege of Paris.

“Paris, Sunday afternoon, Nov. 20, 1870. Sixty-third day of the siege. One of the features of the siege is the thousand rumors and reports that are constantly flying about. The most nb-sm-d and ridiculous canards Rro circulated every hour in the day. These French people are in a position to believe anything, even that the moon is made of green cheese. Some of the editors are the most deliberate and inventive liars of modern times. One of the papers said the other day that it had received a number of the London Standard of November 11, and went on to give various extracts and - news taken from it. Everybody wondered how so late a paper could get into Paris, and when the matter was investigated it was shown thnt no such paper had ever been received, and that the whole thing was a deliberate and willful fabrication. The news that has come by * pigeon telegraph ’ in regard to the French success at - Orleans has had a great effect. Small favors thankfully received aud larger ones in proportion. “For three days it has been war, war, but now, when these long, dreary days are running out, nothing is accomplished except every few days a letter or a high-sounding proclamation of Trochu. It has been a dead calm since the 3lst of October, not excitement enough to stir the blood of a .cat. These people, gay, light, frivolous as they are, would endure wonders could you convince them that anything was to be gained. They are getting down to what we called in the Galena leadmines ‘hard pan.’ Fresh meat cannot last much longer, including horse and mule. The vegetables really seem to be holding out very well, but the prices are so high that the poor can buy but very little. Butter is selling for $4 a pound; turkeys, sl6 apiece; chickens, apiece; rabbits, $4 each; eggs, sl.fo a dozen, and so on. The price of bread, however, fixed by the city, is about as cheap as usupl. Wine is also very cheap. Bread and wine will soon be about all the poorer classes will have to eat and drink. What misery! what suffering! what desolation! — Ex-Min-ister E. B. Wasliburne, in Scribn r's Magazine.

Woman Versus Man.

“There is a growing tendency nowadays for women to unsex thomscdves—that is, to crowd into occupations which have up to late years been oc- < upied exclusively by man. If women usurp occupations originally intended for the other sex, what about the men who are thrown out? for it is very certain there is not room for both.” This is a fallacious popular idea. The question is misundorstood; women have not become manly, but men have become effeminate. In consequence of all their time-immemorial employments having been gradually taken from them, women in this, nineteenth century are absolutely driven to seek some outlet for their energies, or necessities, in now lines of work. The change has been so silent and unperceived that it is doubtful if it is generally known, and certainly was never planned purposely to injure women; rather the reverse, it was intended that they should be benefited thereby. While from the alterations in our social system all household and essential women’s trades are carried on by men, women have received as a substitute a few ill-paid clerkships, and precarious employments, such as art needlework or china painting, which are now offered to them as their true vocation. —National Review.

"Percivi."

This laconic dispatch was sent by Xapier when he had compelled the cit/ of Scinde to capitulate, and it is acknowledged as the most laconic of any of like nature. The little incident that is connected with this measure is worthy of remark. It is as follows: When Napier was in India and on his conquering tour in that subjected country, he was ordered not to take the city of Scinde, and he, overruling the orders of his superiors, disobeyed them and took the city, and in sending word to Parliament of his action, wrote the above, and it was quite a pu zle to the learned peers of England to ascertain the meaning of the all important message, which is this: “Napier in disobeying his instructions had sinned against his superiors, and in taking the city of Hcinde he had Seinde.” Thus the meaning of this, the most laconic dispatch on record.

Political Temperance Parties.

It would bo the most remarkable thing in the history of tho world if the little harmless Alone Nerve l'ood plant should substitute the use of stimulants, and take the wind out of the sails of the political temperance partios. There is the best of authority for tho statement that tho drinkor is better satisfied with it, and the liquor dealer has to keep it or lose his custom. It is a powerful factor that they can make just as much money on it, and pay no license. Also, the women and churcnes back it to the utmost All the dealers say its sale is enormous. Tho company putting it on the market offer the chemists $5,000 if they can hud anytuing in it more deleterious than common bitter root and wintergreen. We thank God it can do so well without harm. The walls of a sick-room should be finished in plain, subdued color, instead of papered in fancy patterns, as patients are liable to be rendered irrii table and sleepless by prolonged mental perturbation induced by vain efforts to trace problems or in counting com- " 'bifi&ttb&S. A case of temporary insanity is reported as occasioned by a morbid disposition to solve the possible combinations into squares of certain figures on the wall-paper of a patient’s room, as his mutterings implied, which ceased at once when he was removed to a room with plain walls. * * * * Piles, fistula, rapture, and stricture radically cured.

Intoxication Among Animals.

“The philosophers,” says Houzeau “that assert that monkeys that have once used intoxicating liquors to excess will not touch them again are more desirous of giving us a lesson in morals than holding to tho exact truth. The majority of tame monkeys are fond of wine and spirits. They help themselves when they can. They enjoy getting drunk, and some of them become such sots that they refuse to reform in spite of the most severe punishment. Besides, tlioir intoxication resembles precisely that of man ; their legs are badly controlled, their tongue is thick and its movements uncertain.” Moreover, this identity of the effects of intoxication descends much lower in the animal kingdom. Donkeys have been seen dead drunk. Horses get drunk; and if, as a general thing, dogs refuse wine, some of them are addicted to the use of alcoholic beverages when well sweetened and sufficiently diluted. —The Cosmopolitan. It has been discovered in France that the fatty matter of wool may be transformed into a subs'ance, which has been named “ceroid,” having the consistency and several properties of wax.

The following words. In praise of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a remedy for those delicate diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to them by th 6 use of this world-famed medicine.

John E. Segar, of Millenbeck, Va., writes: miIAA “My wife.had been suffering for two or three jyi Jp. years with female weakness, and had paid _ . out one hundred dollars to physicians witliIHRfiWH AWAY out relief. She took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite i niioi: if Mniii, Prescription and it did her more good than all tho medicine given to her by the phj-si-cians during the three years they had been practicing upon her.” En Mrs. George HEitGmvof iVcst.Md, N. Y„ Tin- ft—.—— writes: “I was a great sufferer from leueorIHE uRLATEST rhea, bearing-down pains, and pain contin- _ _ ually across my back. Three bottles of your riRTHI V HffflH ‘ Favorite Prescription’ restored me to perUttll 1 rILI DUUR. sect health, I treated with Dr. , for nine months, without receiving any benefit. The ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ is the greatest earthly boon to us poor suffering women.”

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,! another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pam here or there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some womb disorder. Tho physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all thoee distressing symptoms, and Instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

E" Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of No. 71 Lexington St., PHYSIf.IANS East Boston, Mass., says: “Five years ago I rniOlUmnd was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles, pill pn Having exhausted the skill'of three phy- ■ billU. sicians. I was completely discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room -alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Fav/orite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended/in his ‘Common Sense MedicrJ Adviser.’ I commenced to improve at once. In three months I was perfectly cured, and havefbad no trouble since. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and otferingtqjsend tho full particulars to any one Writing me for them, aria enclosing a stampea-en-velope for reply. I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I nave described my case and the treatment used, and have earnestly advised them to ‘do likewise.’ From a great many I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the use of ‘ Favorite Prescription,’ had sent the $1.50 required for tho ’Medical Adviser,’ and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much better already.” , s

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing • ailment* peculiar to females, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies. Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from’ physicians who have tested It in tho more aggravated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove It to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a “ cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating- tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, - and to tiie -uterus, or womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the greatest earthly boon, being unequalled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assimilation of food.

cures nausea, weakness of stomach, indigestion, bloating and eructations of gas. As a soothing and strengthening nervine, “ Favorite Prescription” Is unequalled and Is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. _ . Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in Its composition and perfectly harmless in Its effects in any condition or the system. “Favorite Prescription” is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate, cases of leuoorrhea, or “whites,” excessive flowing at monthly periods, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, “ female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “internal heat.” ‘

I doctored with an wmmmmaM army of different physicians, and spent large sums of money, but received no lasting benefit. At last my husband persuaded me to try your medicines, which I was loath to do, because I was prejudiced against them, and the doctors said they would do me no good. I finally told my husband that if he would get me some of your medicines, I would try them against the advice of my physician. He got me six bottles of the * Favorite Prescription/ also six bottles of the • Discovery,’ for ten dollars. I took three bottles of ‘ Discovery ’ and four of ’ Favorite Prescription,’ and I have been a sound woman for four years. I then gave the balance of the medicine to my sister, who was troubled m the same way, and she cured herself in a short time. I have not httd to take any medicine now for almost four years.”
