Uiim n' Home for Foundlings.
The czar and general government of
Ilussia sheltert and provide j weli for at
least one portion of its subjects, aud
the liussiau army will never lack ro
cruits so long as the present system of
foundling homes is kept up, as each
day many bring additions to this great
army, who pass muster in these institu
tions, where they are tended with the
most perfect care not infrequently by
the very mothers of the waifs them
selves. These mothers, having no way
of providing tor their unfortunate chil
dren, bring them to the home, &ecure
the number placed around the neck of
the child and theu apply for the nurse's
position, thus securing the care of their
own babies, while many bring thein
here and never see or hear of them
again.
The government of ltussia greatly
encourages these institutions by pro
viding for them in a most substantial
and comfortable manner. We visited
the home in Moscow, where we saw
1,000 of these little soldiers, none of
them ten days old, two In eaoh crib, or
in the nurse's arms all out in the sun

They are brought into the institution
at the rata of sixty per day. That

The Two Hands.
It is remarkable that with the major
ity of people the neglected left han i is
not in mere strength inferior to the
right We have heard truly right hand
ed people actually declare that their
left hand te the stronger, and from the
writer's own experince he knows this
to be the case. This may be from the
mechanical advantage and better bal
ance of the body, the right side being
heavier, or it may be due to the large
muscles of the unused arm being less
hampered by the development of other
muscles. It is difficult in these cases to
say which is the "right" hand, for the
fact that the unused arm is the stronger
does not imply ambidexterity, nor can
we justly give the precedence to
strength over dexterity.
Moreover, we cannot call the hand
that excels in one series of dexterous
motions the superior hand if it can be
shown that the other is chosen to per
form an act which, apparently trifling.
may require some knack or nicety of
touch. It Is the hand put forth in
emergency, when taken by surprise,
that makes a spontaneous gesture, the
hand that acts first, which is the "right"
hand. London Spectator.
Two Kohl Compliments.
A bold stroke to obtain liberty by
means of a compliment was that made
by M. de Maupertius. who when a pris
oner in Austria was presented to tho
empress, who said to him, "You know
the queen of Sweden, sister to the king
of Prussia?" "Yes, madame." "Iam
told that she is the most beautiful
princess in the world." "Madame," re
plied the cunning prisoner, 'I always
thought so until now." This was as
diplomatic as the words and action of
the Marpuis Medina, a Spanish noble
man. Queen Elizabeth, who had been ad
miring his elegance, and complimenting
him on it, at the samn time begged to
know who possessed the heart of so
accomplished a cavalier. "Madanio,"
said he, "a lovor risks too much on such
an occasion; but your majesty' will Is
law. Excuse me, liowtm if I fear to
name her, bnticqns; your majesty's
acceptance of her portrait." Ke sent
her a lookincr glass. London Standard.
Ice Made ly Natural Gas.
An inventor in Buffalo has devised a
process for making ico by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion
or natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from
the wells. In the experimental plant
the gas is used at its initial pressure, or
from 150 to 200 pounds to drive a small
engine. After uso in tho engine the
gas exhausts into a closed box, and the
expansion generates sufficient cold to
form slabs of ice three inches thick to
the amount of three-quarters of a ton
in a day. It is claimed that the princi
pals can be applied economically on a
large scale. New York Telegram.

As To Kates And EariiluxN.
A pleasing sample of the method of
argument commonly used by the anti
railway politlciau in discussing rail
way rates is given in a speech which
Colonel C. C. Tost of Atlanta, Ga, who
is a typical "calamityite," was deliver
ing through Dakota and elsewhere in
in the northwest in the recent campaign.
Colonel Post was addressing audiences
largely made up of farmers, and this is
how he demonstrates the exorbitance
of railway rates on corn:
What does it cost to ship com from
Iowa to Georgia? They put 500 bushels
in a car; they run 15 cars to the train.
Suppose it takes 4 days to run it; what
does it cost? What is the outlay of
the road for the transportation of that
car load of grain ? Suppose you pay 10
cents a bushel or $ 0 a car, and 15
cars to the train, or (750, only one-half
what they would charga you for a train
load of wheat Now it takes 4 days to
run it; allow an engineer $5 a day, 920
more for a fireman (and not any of them
get it); 93 a day for a breakman for 4
days would be 33ft (they would pay
them from 32 to 82:50); allowing (20
each for fireman, engineer and con
ductor, or 960, and 136 for breakmen
makes 9 they pay their train bands;
allowing for 10 tons of coal per day at
12 a ton (but the poor miner only gets
75 cents a ton) for 4 days makes 840
for coal, and it all amounts to 8176;
allowing 24 for waste makes 9200 cost
of the train load of corn for which they
get 8750, leaving them 8550 with which
to pay section hands, to pay agents aud
to pay interest on watered stock and
bonds.
This method of arriving at the ex
pense of transportation by adding
together the cost of fuel and the train
men's wages is not new and has been
exposed often enough, but from the
fact that orators And it worth while to
go on repeating it it would appear that
it must still have some plausibility in
farmers' ears. Somewhere, so it seems,
there must still exist people who believe
that these items of fuel and train hands
wages form the greater part of a rail
way's operating expenses. As a matter
of fact the idea of figuring up 8200 of ex
pendirure in these two items and tlion
lumping the rest is about as if a farmer
were to start to calculate the expenses
of running his farm for a year, saying:
"Jt will cost about (5 for soap fori
washing and 815 for oil for lamps. The
other expenses will be about a thousand.
Total, 81,020 a year. It is on the same
plan as the man calculated who found
a lump of sugar in the street and
reckoned that all he needed now was
liquor and water and mint to make a
julep.
If Colonel Post, or any of his hearers,
would take the trouble to refer to the
annual report of any first class western
road say the Chicago & North-Western
or the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
he would find a few items of expense
which seem to have been overlooked in
the above estimate, but which are of
some importance; a trllle over a Million
dollars for repairing locomotives, for
instance, and approximately another
million for repairing freight cars; a
mere bagatelle of three-quarters of a
million for taxes and another million
and a quarter for general office expenses
"repairs of buildings" foot up to nearly
half a million dollars a year and there
are four hundred thousand dollars more
for telegraph expenses quite apart
from the two and a quarter million
which went for "agents and station
service." Colonel Post's munificent
allowance of"550 to pay section hands
and agents" is reasonably well swal
lowed up in such an item as three mil
lion dollars for "miantenance of way"
and the two and a quarter million,
already mentioned, for agents and
station service. And yet in the few
trifling items alone which are men
tioned above there are five, million or
so in the course of a year, which some
how Colonel Post overlooks.
Most railway men are nowadays
aware that "conducting transpor-tation"-which
includes all the elements
of cost in Colonel Post's calculations
and a good many more does not con
stitute 30 per cent of the gross oper
atlng expenses of the ordinary road:
and ifinanyofhis audiences there
happened to be any shop hands or office
clerks or traveling agents they may
reasonably have wondered wherein
the orator's calculation the allowance
for their salaries was made. Fuel and
trainmen's wages come about as near
to constituting the cost of railway
operation as the mountings of Colonel
Post and his friends came to constitut
ing the government of the United
States.
And if his calcuation of the expenses
of a railroad is absurd his method of
reckoning revenue Is hardly less so.
If every engine hauled a full train clear
through from terminus to terminus,
and every car in it was loaded to full
capacity with paying freight, then
Conlonel Post's figures might come
somewhere near to having a basis of
truth. Then also the millennium
would be at hand. As it is, it is about
as easy for a railway to keep all ol its
engines constantly earning revenue to
the limit of its hauling capacity as it
it for a farmer to make every kernel of
teed wheat that be sows bring forth its
fruit or at it it for a demagogue like
Colonel Poet to make every man who
listens to his speeches vote the third
party ticket And we gather from the
returns of the last election that this last
As a matter of fact the average re
venue of a train is something lees tbar.
one-half (taking passenger and freight
trains together) than what the revenue
would be if every train was loaded as
Colonel Post calculates, while the items
of fuel and trainmen's wages are some
thing more than one quarter of the cost
of running a railway. So that his
figures of earnings, or 8750. must be cut
down to one-half; and his figures of
revenue, or 8200, must be multiplied
four-fold. This gives a revenue Of
$375 to pay an expense of 8800, leaving
interest and dividend out of the ques
tion. Which is absurd. And that only
shows that Colonel Post's figures are
radically wrong to start with and that
lie neither knows nor cares to find out
anything as to the facts of the subject
on which he talks. Prom The Hailway

When Iho Clock Ticks l.midct.
After she had kissed him on her
return from a visit to her relatives in
another city she asked:
"Well, John, how did you get along
without me and the children" ?
"Not very well,'' he -replied! "The
next time you go away I'll shut up
the house and go to a hotel."
"O,you don't like to be alone here?
she queried.
"No, I don't," he returned. "The
house is overrun with rats."
"Hats!" she exclaimed. "Why, there
isn't a rat in the place."
"Hang it!" he said didn't I hear
'em? Didn't I hear 'em nibbling and
scratching away all night? Didn't they
keep me awake half the time? I hadn't
more than got to bed the first night
when they started in with their scratch
scratch, scratch."
''They were mice, John,'' she explained
''I've occasionally had a little trouble
with mice."
"Well, it's mighty strange I've never
heard 'em before," he said. "And that
clock "
"Where is it, John?" she asked,
looking about the room.
"It's in the pantry," he replied. "The
blame things nearly drove me crazy.
Why, the lirst night when I settled
for a quiet smoke it acted like a fire
alarm. There wasn't a sound in the
house, but the first thing I knew the
old thing was ticking with a distinctness
that pretty nearly had me insane.
After it had forced itself on my at
tention fifty or sixty times and made
me so nerveous that I could hear noises
in all parts of the house I put it in the
pantry and shut the door."
"Did that do any good John ? She
asked with a slight smile.
"A little, but not much," he muttered.
"I could still bear it. Wonder what
in thunder is the matter with it. I
never heard it make as much noise be
fore."
"Perhaps, John," she suggested
quietly. It is because you were never
alone in the house at night before. I've
known It to do the same thing when I
was alone here at night. It never
ticks so loud as then, the mice never
scratch so loud as then, there are never
so many unusual noises as then."
He looked at her pretty sharply as
she busied herself putting things to
rights again, and then well, he doesn't
stay out so late nights now. He tries
to get home, as he puts it, "before
the clock begins to tick."
