POLICE SPIES IN RUSSIA.
It was on Sunday afternoon, tho 10th
of July, that we arrived at Wicrzbolow,
...the first Russian station on the railroad.
Hitherto, from Merlin to this town, we
had been passing through old
Prussia. But hero although only one
Mile Irom the last Prussian station, the
change from Germany to Russia was
striking beyond description.
At if by somo wizard's touch tho tall,
many-gabled homesteads with their
well-kept farms; the nourishing fields,
waving with rich corn, ready for tho
reaper's sickle; tho well-fed cattle,
grating placidly in wido-spreading
Eafcture-lamls; the clean, thriving, wcli
nilt villages, tho ga)ly dressed men,
wvmen and children, "passing to and
from the villages to thn stations, and
the far-off glimpses caught of happy
children playing in the fields under the
blue sky, or round about somo cluster
ing hamlots these all vanished
Instead of these signs of peace, con
ten ment ind prosperity wo now came
upon glimpses of mud-hovels, or
wretchedly built log-houses, thatched
straw; straggling villages, black with
the smoke of centuries, ill-cultivated
fields; men, women and children barely
clad and bare-footed; and beggars, of
all ages, from the gray-haired old pil
grim to the ragged boy or girl of from
aix to seven years of ago.
At every station from Wierbolow to
St Petersburg, the beggars appeared,
crossing themsohes, bobbing their
heads up and down, and imploring with
-.extended arms a few conecs in the
name of tho Holy Savior and His moit
blcsso I Mother.
Such were the glimpes we caught of
Sarts of Poland, now Russia, and of
Russia proper.
. When tho train arrived at Wiorebo
low, we were abruptly ordcro.l to quit
our carriages. Russian poitcrs seized
our bags and -shawl-straps, and hurried
us off with them.
When I had gone about twenty steps,
a.Ruhsian foldier. of almost g:gantic
stature, armed from hoad to loot, and
booto I and spurred, stood before me
and cried:
"Passport'.'
It was with a feeling of utter help
lessness tiiat I drew out my pocket
book, antl taking out the ollicial-docu-
ment. hanucu it to the armed giant.
He then motioned mo to lollow the
rorters, which I did, with a vague feel
ing of having committed somo great
wrong, and thus entered tho hall lead
ing iutotho frontier station of the great
Empire of Russia.
A wooden bench, or shelf, ran all
round the hall for the luggqgc, with
room for the passengers to range them
. selves behind it In tho middle of this
halL at a large squaro table, sat at
least some dozen police officers.
AVhilo innumerable porters, with
badges on, explored the trunks, boxes,
etc.. and ranged them on tho bench or
shelf, tho armed giant proceeded to lay
all tho passports he had collected be
fore the officials at the table. It was
an imposing scene; the varied and mot
ley crowd, the Russian porters in their
national dress and curious caps, tho
Russian officials peering into the mani
fold passports of tho different nations
of Europe in solemn silenco at the ta
ble, the armed giant, gr'm and resolute.
iuosung ai tnem wun piercing eyes and
earnest countenance, tho Custom-Houso
officials waiting" orders to begin their
work of inspection.
At length tho order was given to
the Custom-Houso otlicers to proceed
with their work. There must have been
a dozen of these present, and I must
say they did their work with a quiet
dignity and impartiality that wero quite
noticeable.
One of tho porters, seeing on my
trunk a rather largo square placard of
an American line of steamers, with
colored ftags and tho names of various
puna piiiuvu ou ii. was much im
pressed; he forthwith callod the atten
tion of one of tho Custom-Houso officers
to it They both examined it verv
critically, and as far as I could
judge decided that I was some
important personage; for they opened
my trunk nd shut it again without dis
turbing an. tiling in it, returning my
small bunch of keys with a most polite
incliaation of the head, to which saluta
tion I cordially responded.
Presently another and rather ofliclrmt
porter thrust his hand into my shawl
strap and pulled out "Murray's Guide to
Russ'a," holding it up triumphantly to
the inspecting officer, who very decided
ly bade him put it back again.
At length one of the police officers
from the table rose and came up to me
witk my passport and read aloud:
"Amnah Leowvut Ohvins?"
I bowed.
"Brishtish soobject?"
I bowed'again. He then returned
Bsemy passport vrith a Ions slin of db-
pBtr With this I followed the porters
to the ad oaing hall, guarded bv an

which stood two formidable-lookiBg

'BBiUgginf hk ihonMan and re-
onn-nguan warn an Knew:
Black m&lel&sse dress goods arc much
used in mourning.
Orcrskirts cut open here and there
and laced together with silk cords at
new and effective. With evening cos
tumes of silk or satin the bodice is made
to match, and the lacing is done under
the arms.
liirds of every description are ucd to
decorate muffs. Duplicates of thoc se
lected for the muff are generally worn
on the hat or bonnet which accom
panies it Some of these ornithologi
cal specimens are too large for good
taste.
Stylish military rcdintjotea of dark
blue cloth have the standing collar,
pockets, cuffs, and double-breasted front
trimmed with siher braid in Roman
designs. Down the back of the skirts
is set a double row of larjre button,
in designs of old Roman medallion.
For outside wraps plain velvet is very
fashionably worn both for largo and
small confections; antl many redingotes
and long casaques arc being made of it
by principal modistes. Tho trimmings
are of fur or of jet pendants, and ex
ceed ngly wide pasemeuterio bands.
1 here is nothing new to signalie in
the way of linger.e, hosier' or gloves.
Kid slippers are cut very low. antl
where the stockings are c'mbroi'ered
the mules or sandals are plain, and
vice-versa. With evening dress the
color of the stockings must invariably
match that of tho toilet worn. For
houso wear, black or fawn-colored
stockings embro'dercd with cardinal,
or those of solid cardinal, are the
height of fashion.
ery handsome visiting dresses are
shown, having a bodice cut in Jersey
.shape and made of colored volveL This
fastens to a box-plaited shirt of moire
or satin, die joining of bodice and skirt
being concealed by"a scarf drapery of
the same. A black, velvet Jersey fast
ened to a black satin' skirt is very ele
gant; so also is one of dark myrtle
green, with gold and green satin in
wide stripes laid in plaits for tho skirt,
and plain green satin for the drapery.
In laying tho kilts, tho gold stripes ol
courso go underneatli. A costume ol
this kind, included in a bridal outfit,
has tho dark green velvet bodice
trimmed with tiny arabesques in very
fine gold braid.
Next to tho usual manner of making
up stockinet cloth in tho Jersey shape,
the most popular form is a double
breaste I caaque. with a small stand
up col'ar and rovers liko a gentleman's
coat The skirt is ilrancd over the hint
after the style of a Watteau tunic, and
is made full and bunchy at tho back.
When made of black stockinet it can
bo worn o cr a skirt of black velvet,
moire, satin, or silk, or any two of these
materials combined. Tho collar, cuffs,
and pockets of the casaquo itself are
often finished with velvet or moire, ami
sometimes with jet as wel'. There is
always tho inevitable sash at tho.back,
however else tho casaquo may be
trimmed.
Buttons may almost be classed anion;;
the luMirics of dress. In point of ele
gance and in the matter of price they
nave never been excelled. Among the
novol styles aro those of gold or silver,
set with mock gems, in Moresque ot
Morcnt no dcsijrns. These aro modeU
of art and beauty. They would also be
mo 'els of extravagance wore it not for
the fact that they will never tarnish,
being of the genuine metal. They uatt
therefore bo transferred from one cos
tume to another, until theyjiave "paid
for themso'.vo." Another beautiful
style of bultou is a cut jet, in mosa'c
designs, with monogram or crest ol
8omi-procious stones in tho center.
Theso stones may bo of any color, so
that the hue accords with that of the
costume. N. V. rosL
The Romans named the opening
taoulk ol the year from the god Jamt.
whose two fanes, the one looking back
jmd the other forward, deaoted tncra
ry and hope.' The early Saxoa aaiaes
Uo'f'-tnann:, (wolf-month) U faid to
have been surge's ed by the fact that
the wolvc.,Jeprivcd ot their customary

habitation in queUo? food; but iteetn

The custom try celebrating with re
joicing the opening of the new asd un

age and BatioRA, e natural Mtttobop
that what is new niay be good, and to
trust thathowereV rough oarpaUu may
have been, in the com ng tim-: we may
find the "green pastures" and "the wa

In the words of the gentle Elia: "The
birth of a new year Is of an interest too
wide to be pretcrniitled by king or
cobbler." No one ever regarded the
First of January with indierncc."
It is an old cus om to Keep the day as
a holiday, though it has been the
practice of superstitious perxoas to work
a little in the mominr with the idea
that this eour)c v.otild insure them ros
pority and plenty of profitable employ

Druids presented to the people the sa
cred mistletoe previoudv cut with re
ligioui ceremonies, antl friends ex
changed presents. Of this custom an
old writer as: "As presages are
drawn from tbq lint things which arc
met ou the btguiniuir of a day, a week,
a ear. none can bo more plcaing
"than of those things that are given us.
As far back as the reign of Henry the
Third it was customary to -present Niw
Year s gifts to tho rei rirng monarch,
and some sovereigns did not hesitate
to extort gifts when they were not
freely offered. It was by the help of
these annual contributions that Queen
E izabeth kept her magnificent ward
robe well replenished. (Jloes, in for
mer times very cost'y, were frequently
offered to sovereigns and high dignita
ries. Pins, once a great luxun , were
acceptable gifts to ladies. Instead of
these presents, their value in money
was Mimetimes given hctwo the
terms "glove-monc,," antl "pin-money."
The moro rinid Puritans objected
strongly to New Year's prescn's. as be
ing "a meere relquu of paganibme aud
idolatry."
Tho First of January, lcing a week
after Christmas, is celebrated by the
Churches of Knglaud and Romo as the
Festival of the Circumcision.
The Christmas and New Year holi
days close on the Feast of the F.pipha
ny, January sixth, Twelfth Day as it
is called, being the twelfth from'Christ
mas. Many old sujH'rslitious customs
aro associated with it Tho following
Monday, when the people returned to
the sober realities of working-days, was
called in the rural districts Plough,
Monday.
Among tho events of historic interest
connected with New Year's Day may
bo mentioned the league of William

How to Wash a Baby.
Thirty women listened for thirty
minutes lat Satrrdav night, in the
Franklin Institite, Philadelphia, to
Mss Mary Ifobart, whb told them
"How to Wash and Dross a Baby."
Tho lecturo was illustrated. The illus
tration was kindly furnished by a
young mothor in tho audience. It had
avcry red face, very bright eyes, a wee
bit of a nose, and a voice. Tho lecturer,
a fresh faced, handsome woman, began
bv Ct)laninir how to wash nnil i1rns
a newly-born in'ant without drowning
it in the basin, or causing it to burst by
tight bandaging. "Whito Castile soap
is tho proper thing to wash a balie
with," said she, "and tho water
should be at a temperature of 100 de
grees. The babe should not be washed
a little at a time. Its head, face, and
cars should bo attended to first, and
then tho entire body should be im
mersed in the water! like this."
The illustration was placed in a deep
basin tilled with water and the illustra
tion manifested its disatmrobation bv a
howl. "In drying ther clfild." con
tinued Miss Bobart, as she lifted the
squalling bit of humanity out of tho
bath, do not rub tho child much, but
pat it carefulrv until drv7 Rub its back
if you liko that pleases a babe. Then
powder it with starch or Bermuda ar
rowroot, and tUo'squalter -was liberal! v
besprinkled with a white powder.
"Some mothers." said the lecturer, "in
drying a child's car, dig it out this
way." Tho illustration blinked its
eyes, puckered up its mouth, and let
out a wild yell. "Use a soft rag. wound
around tho little finger,'' and as the ac
tion was suited to the 'word, tha illus
tration crowed gratefully. "In dress
ing," went on the speaker, "the band
ages should be loose enough to slip two
fingers underneath," and as the babe
was defily turned on its stomach it
grunted a satisfied grunt Then came tho
ticklish operation of pinning the Sand.
Miss Hobart showed low to do it with
out sticking the pia more than a
sixteeatk of-an iach into the baby's
oaca, a proceeaiag, sne saiq. ttuu near
ly all infants objected to. The lecturer
advised that where it was practicable
and could be done properly the broad
linen straps should be sewed and ot
pinned. "In gutting on the baby's
socks," continaed tEe'protem.moth
er. cleverly thrusting a little pint foot
into its woolly covering, "be careful
aboat toatsy-wootsy's Jittie toes- 'E
don't like 'e 'ittle toes all turned up, do
'e?' and the illuetratioa lifted up its
voice and howled -a denial.

Captain John M. Bowman and Dr.
B. L. Lang ton, twa well-known sjiortd
men of Muney. have just returned from
a week's hunting in th- wihls of, Sulli
van Countv, and thev l el a to samcthrill-
mg adventures while in that region.
' They established their head ,uarters in
the cottage of Captain Bowman, at
Lewis Lake, and cross'tig that body of
water to the mountnius on the other
side commenced operations. The
trophies of the tirt day resulted in the
kill ng of one deer, two foes and a
porcupine. The second day thev were
not so lucky, but they discovered fresh
bear tracks leading in the d'reetion of
the nearest settlements, antl they re
solved on capturing bruin.
Judging fioru the trucks, (ho bear was
of great size, ami extreme caution .was
noccssary to get near enough for a s'hot
Tho Captain earriod a siher-mounted
Remington that never Tnissod lire, and
tho doctor was armed with a do.iblc
barreled shot-gun, a hatchet, and an
Indian pipe, obtained from a Sioux
ch:cf when residing in Iowa. They
failed to find the bear that dav, not
withstanding the rao?.t careful search.
On the third day, .however, they were
more font nato. The doct ir had bo
come soparated .from the Captain,, and
while he was in the act of clamberiag
over the trunk of a fallen hemlo.-k in a
laurel thicket he was startledby a ficce
rowl, and on pausing to reconnoiterhe
isi'oyercd tho bear sitting on its
haunches in the bushes watching him.
He acknowledges that ho was startled
by the monster, which was of enormous
size and evidently not disposed to re
treat What to do he did not know. He
dared not use his shot-gun on the beast
and the Captain was not in hailing dis
tance with his rifle. As he stood delib
erating the bear made a movement to
ward him, evidently bent on mischief.
Its oyes wero fiery 'and it displayed a
double row of savage looking teeth.
The doctor says he fe t like repeating
the Lord's prayer rignt then ami there.
But there was no time for worship in
the wilderness, as the bear was moving
upon him in force. He instinctively
raised his gun aad let drive with one
barrel, the contents of which went
crashing into the bear's car. This en
raged the brute and, rising on its hind
legs, it rushed tfpon the doctor, who
emptied the contents of the other bar
rel. In a moraeat the savage beast,
smarting with pain, was close upon him.
and he could feel its hot breath oa his
face as it grappled him. He clubbed it
with his shot-gun, but as the weapon de
scended the bear warded off the blow
with its right paw and seat the gun
spianlag through the air.
Matters now became desperate. The
doctor found himself ia the grasp of the
beast but he retained sufficient self
possession of miad to resolve to sell his
life dearly. Graspiag his hatchet,
which was heavy aad. sharp, he raiaed
blows oa the head of tha Btoa

"But it's the very latest Broadway

"Why. you coultl net up a circus ring

"anil then you'd have plenty of room
