Teaoh Children to Work. Teach the children habits of industry while they aro yet very young, and they will always be indnsLriots, says Jennese Miller's Monthly. Give them at first only very iight tasks, and try to find the work to which each child inclines. Don't let them work so long that they become tired and so disgusted 011th all warp, but long enough to accomplish snutothing, and if it is of use 80 mach the bettor. Teach children that thea is a time to be idle as well as a time to bo at wo•It. l'i;e apparently idle time of the systematically busy real or woman is often the most fruitful in results, for it is then that many things are thottght over .and planed. When it is possible, let the chi]. drop feel that they are working for some definite end. They wish to sae the profit at their labor as much as alder people do of theirs. Deny theist that, and the very highest incentive to habits of labor is removed. A good laid industrious woman once Feld; Otte of the most batter memories of my childhood is that my mother, who was one of tic best and most ooltenlelltloue W0111011 that ever lived, was without tactor judgement as 1,0 buy tasks. 11n the long, beautiful summer days, when 1 longed to heatplry, and when I ought to have boon, since there aro always plough tlt•o•I.ry days it which to give a child work, she would give ma two yards and a - half of unbleochcd muslin whmh I Was re- quired to ham. Ic was always stall' and rough and disagreeable. If it had Leen fine, pretty work, 1 would not have nlincle1 half an much. Those hems had to be turned and moasnrodand basted, unt11 my poor little fingers Itched, and my very sold rebelled at the task. When my work was badly done I had to pick it all out and do it over ; whet it was well dole the piece was then off with• out a word of approval and t tiros: 11 into the ragbag. I was to a slate of batter rebellion all the time, because my toil was of no use to any one. When I said so I was severely reprimanded and telt! that children were no judges of what was good or bed for them. This i9 a great mistake, for children are much keener judges then grown people as 0 rule think theist. 'thou I thought that my mother was very wrong and very cruel, but note I know that she was."

A small rent or hole in cloth or other wool goods may be repaired by slightly moistening the edges on the wrong side with a little mucilage, and pasting a bit of the sono goods under tho torn place.

When at. In the let of August here, it is the 131.11 across the border. So at 0117 moment, by sending me out of the country they had it in their power to knock me into the middle of next week. And as yoc 1 was hardly prepared to go. Itis not touch of an exaggeration to say that WY11011 I first walked the streets of that great city of stucco and plaster, the capital of all the Russian, Peter the treat's " win- dow by which ho might so0 into Europa," it was with heart Greet, oyes front, the middle finger of each hand against elm seam in the trouser's leg, and my whole counten- ance swathed in a meek and smiling expres- sion of amiable imbooility (amiability mt. tural, imbecility assumed). Like Laurence Sterne's donkey, I seemed to say ; " Don't kick me ; but it you will, you may. ICs perfectly safe." 97ho first stage, however, has passed away, and I have reached the mond, in which I seen, to correspond with the majority of Russian faces about me. I am ugly. If Johnston " liked ago d hater," I am sere he would fraternize with ale at the present nloinell t. The general type of countenance among the common people here is by no means one of blank stupidity, but a stupidity suspic- ious and vicious, a kind of cross between Tillie Slowboy and Bill Sykes, It is trim the better• olass of Ruseiant I have not seen, for in summer they invari• ably speed thorn out of town. Ijtun tolyl that they are exceptionally intelligent and so- cially charming, especially the Cear. No nation can bo judged, however, by the condition of its aristocracy, but by that of its bourgeoisie and its poor. As Becky Sharp says : " Anybody eau he honest on ten thousand a year," The chief difference between the aristocracy of one ('onntry and heather is simply in the way they put on their clothes. 1\'itlt the common people, however, it is different. Mr. Stead is doubtless right in saying that the worst thing which could happen to Russia Would bo that it should become a republic. You might as well put a threo- ysar•old baby ,.stride Bneephalus and tell him to ride. Two huudred years is not long enough to bring a ration out of barbarism into a capability of self-government ; and it is less than that since Peter the Great " kuonted Russia into oavilization." Wo cannot expect Russia to do in two cont(1ries what the rest of us have been doing in ten. Out of sixty millions of its inhabitants, forty-eight millions can neither read nor write. Think of it 1 Eighty per cont. rdwol- ling in absolute darkness 1 In America, notwithstanding all our imported init. ,racy, the ignorant Masses represent only fifteen pur cent. of the population, mud in Germany, which I believe to bo hoeing rapidly toward a republic, only five percent. Everywhere in these Russian cities the signs are painted with pictures -the baker is kuoaditg broad, the butcher killing beef - because these are the only symbols which the greet mass oat understand, With this dense ignorance, therefore„do not believe that any oat:tolyism in our day will deliver Russia. It will require cen- turies, end will comp, not by revolution, but by evolution. At least, If it shall seem to corse by the former, it will not bo a rev- olution, but simply a revelation of secret processes previously unrecognized. What- ever may bo the remedy, however, the fact remains that the people (here aro in an awful coudition, and terribly oppressed. Last night twenty -live men dropped dead in the streets of this city of Moscow, twonty-olio of them from drunkenness. This vice (mall. prevailing, and seems to be their only ref- uge.

The most intelii• gods lawyer cannot carry all the legal enaot- mentsin his heard. What possible lope Dan there be, then, for those tptoratlt ex -serfs? Soon after my arrival I picked up, in the reacting roan of my hotel, a copy of the London Times, and eagerly turned to the report of the condition of cholera in Russia. Tho very lives of those who were with me, whorl I loved, might depend upon that re- port, by its leading me to go on or to re- treat, What was my chagrin to discover that by the Government Censors that very column had been blotted out I I went into an English bookstore and 0011101 a volume with four loaves in talo middle torn away, and another transformed into one great black daub of printer's ink. " \Vl>o does this?" I asked, "1'nu Censors do al," " Do you get any remuneration'" "Not 0 peaty.

KILLED By WILD BEASTS. Two IAhting Prospectors Flat Victims (0 AAm1;r1.y Animals. Writing from Kootenai Lake, Idaho, in British Columbia, to his father near Boise, George Martin relates a terrible story of the death of William Corlett of Galveston and Henry Gesford, formerly of St. Paul, The unfortunate men, to:ether with Alar - tin and three others, Itad Leon for several months engaged in prospactiio, and with considerable succuss. They had discovered nine rich lodes, and it few days before their death it had been arranged that (Seaford and Corlett should go East and try to in- terest wealthy Mantle in their prospects. On Sept 10 the entire party of gold seek• ers w0110 out for a big hunt. About ten males from camp, as Martin, Gesford and Corlett were walking through a narrow (de• filo, a large mountain lion sprang from the top of an over -hanging rock, alighted upon Gosfnrd and bore hint to the earth. Corlett hit the animal a blow with the butt of hie rifle, whereupon it left Cosford and attok- ed Corlett, Before the latter could fire the lion crushed his right arm and his left leg, after which it disappeared in the under- growth. When Martha, who was some distance behind ifs fellows, came up he found both Gesford and Corlett in an insensible condi. tion. The latter was desperately injured, but Ges(m•d soon regained oouscionsne0s. Making :slitter of green boughs upon which to carry the mangled Corlett, a start was made for camp. Just before sunsetthe wound. ed man recovered from his long swoon tad begged piteously that his conductors would stop for is time, as the motion caused him great agony. Martin, however, was afraid that Corlett would die ttnlos his wounds were attended to, so he and Gesford con. tinned on their way. As soon as night fell they were literally besieged by 0nnnals, which, attracted by the odor of the blood, had followed the throe neon for miles. The only thing to be done was to stop and light a fire, in order that they might not bo assailed by the prowlers. Baildmg a circle of fire around their wound- ed comrade, Martin and Gesford prepared to rep• iso any attack, Presently, however, something seemed to stampede the animals, for they ran pe11 moll up the canon with affrighted cries. Af ter waiting about two hours, Martin set out for the camp to bring aid to Corlett. When he and the other members of the party returned at daylight they were hor- ror strtoken at what they saw. Corlett, with the scorched barrel of a rifle in his hands, was lying across the flying fire, which had literally cooked him to death. Search for Gesford resulted in the finding of his body in three parts at a little strewn about 1110 feet f tons whore Corlett's body w09 lying. - \Vild animals had killed the poor fellow and nearly devoured his body. It is thought that Gesford went to the spring for water for Corlett, and that the animals, which had returned to their bivouac and were watch- ing his movements, followed end killed hint, The oroatmres then presumably returned to where Corlett was lying, when he, game to tho last, grasped a rifle and tried to stand up, when his weak legs gave way and he pitched forward into the fire, Tho bodies were interred near the scone of the double tragedy and heavy stones were rolled upon their graves. A Monster Oast Wheel. Ono of the largest wheels ever built for any purpose, and the vary largest of its kind eve conetruetod, was that manmfac- Lured by the Dickson Company, South Soranton, Pa,, during the Summar of 1880. It is what is called a Rand 9011001 and was nada for the Hoola and Calumet Copper Company, of the Lake Superior region.
