THE CZAR'S DOMINIONS. Kl-l'ml-(lniorl lltitlrr'l Oplnlou of ( K11114111 mill lis (iuvorniiiKiil. Are there not a good nianv Jews In Russia?" "Yos; one-half of tho Jews in the world live in Russia, or about three and a half millions of people. If you lupposo that tlio United States is fill of Jews you should soo Russia. Tho public feeling there is against them. They are the only people In all Russia allowed to emigrate wherever they choose. Nobody else in the country can leave it; the understanding Is among aM the component races of Rus nia that thoy belong to the country, and every subject must have a pass port, like every foreigner. No subject can pack his traps and 'move to Amer ica or (iermany except the Hebrews." "Are the Russians a patriotic peo ple?" "Ves, thoroughly so. There are tome elements in Russia which hate tho dominant Russi ans; the linns and Tides particular)' come under this do Miript ion. I did not go to Poland, but tho most beautiful women I saw in St. Petersburg were Poles. I had re marked to an American friend that 1 was disappointed in the beauty of ti e women, and be told mo one evening to como to a Polish ball, where 1 wool 1 ceo the finest women of the capital. 1 went there, and hardly ever saw more dzling beauty. Tho Finns were con quered from Sweden by Ru-sia, nnd they me a highly intellectual rare, with gentle natures, who pay more attention ta education, and their women aro more beautiful. The Russian women nave I'lemud loruis, but ttieir luce are not to agreeable. Ntarly nil the Russians have ttirncd-up noses, ami w hen you see a raiment of Russian soldier in line you might thick they were Irish for that reason. The Russian women have bluo eves and whitish opauue skins. The expression of the average Kuasiaa face i sullen nnd hard; thoy are not people of much wit or gayety. Hut there aro sonni tilings about them voiy peculiar; for Instance', their religion. I never saw such religious people in thn world, hut, us in all cases where re ligion I llorcoly formal, it does not clubmen their morals. I have seen on the floor of their church" officer of their armv and n oblc kneeling bowed, with their foi-ohnd on tlie floor, by the hour. When tho common people pass the church they tak off their hats, mid if it should he ono hundred feet wide they keep them off until they have gone by. The class of priests is said not to bo very intelligent, except the higher dignitaries of the church, who were taken from the noblo class. Tim priests marry, and tho government stimulates them to marry. Rut there lies over all Russia the impress of one man power. The people themselves, accustomed for generations t under stand that there is but ono man who rules them, only revolt in a hard, ha I way, which rathcrt'irns the sympathies of foreigner, against them. When I went out there 1 sincerely sympathized with the people against tlie despot; but after I got soir.o understanding of tlie Russian character I began to think that, perhaps, their rulers knew better than we did. If you should have a Rus sian servant and show him some servility or familiarity, instead of appreciating it he would presume upon it. You can talk to a French waiter, for Instance, for mo ments as if lie were your equal, and he will resume his place as a waiter after your conference is over. Rut the com mon Russian who serves and waits would become insubordinate if you re lented toward him. Therefore, tho rule of (lint realm, somewhat born from tho race, is power not unmixed -with cruelty. 1 saw no instances of cruelly myself, but heard of a good many." "Did Hot the assassination of the lain Czar leave on Russia a deep impres sion?" "Yes, it did; but I do not think that Nihilism is (lie power it assumed at ono time to be. I understand that there are still Nihilists in Russia who meet, and that they hardly ever meet but thee are secret agents among them. They do not punish them, hut keep them un der surveilaneo. Every now and then the government comes down upon them liko a bolt of lightning; tlie offender disappears, and the supposition is that lie is taken to Siberia. That is the end of him. "The police system of Russia is enor mous. 1 doubt whether the ruler of the land himself knows how many iiersons aro in tlie pay of the police. You see police nnd military every where. Nearly every largo house or hotel in Russia Is under the survcil inco of a character who supplier it with wood and coal. His business is to watch that house every night; no matter how freezing cold it is, and tho thermometer is often forty degrees be low zero, you see him sitting out there, and if you undertake to enter, though he may appear to be asleep, he will .iiiiiii forward and look at you to see if you belong to the plar;'. If you visit it friend in Russia he may let you stay over night without looking at your passport, Rut next morning he will loll you that if he does not present your passport he will be lined; and you can not leave th" country without twenty-four hours' notice before re covering your passport."

A correspondent of one of the tech nical journals has been making some experiments in gastronomy, which cer tainly do credit to Ills power of over mining natural prejudices, lie caught, by the aid of his terrier, two plump barn rats, and after preparation, pre sented them to ids cook to be made lu ll pie.

Ho also savs that he can Irom experience safely recommend hedgehog stewed in milk as real delieaev. It is well known ;hat roast hedgehog is a favorite dish with English gypsies. Our readers ;nay also remember that during tho last slce of Paris its inhabitants were reduced to such straits that vermin of this kind were often submitted to slaii- ar trial. Ono writer states that so palatable were they that long after the uege, when beef and mutton were igain plentiful, rats often found their way to the French bill of fare, dis posed alike by cunning flavoring and fanciful names. Chambers' Journal. In Gloucester County, N. J., a few lays ago, a wife of a man who had an unpleasant propensity lor atteiuluijj dub meetings nearly every night hit upon a novel plan for keeping him at home. She secretly applied croton oil to his clothing, and the poor man soon became so afUic'.cd with soros in conso ipience that he was glad to remain at home. His wife, however, injudicious ly let a lady Into the secret, and she, shocked at. the cruelty, told the hus band, whereupon he deserted the wife.

Illll Nr Stullot th I'rvlilon or the Intur-MUta Coium Illll, and Appl1" to Vrlou ICmllr.mJ OMcUU for an Ji"J Job. The passage and executive approva' of the Inter-State Cmimerce bill, and tho disastrous and deadly effect of the same upon the tender buds of the sprouting annual pass at this critical season of the year, liavo filled me with chagrin and alarm. While I have nev er been in any way tho creature of a corporation, yet for several years 1 have been more or less in favor of rail roads. I have been in favor of restrict ing them in a imtasuro, and have done what I coul I to restrict them, and yet we have managed to get along smooth ly together, tho railroad and myself. I had been uniformly courteous to the railro ids, in return for w hich the railroals had been courteous to inc. The pass provision of the Inter-State Commerce bill looks to me like a blow at courtesy. Can wo as Americans af ford to sacrifice courtesy when we only Ijavn barely enough to squeeze along th? I think not- I hope that I have made it perfectly clear that this is not purely a personal matter with me. I am looking toward the greatest good to tho greatest num ber. So far as I am concerned person ally, I am abundantly able to pay my fare. Rut it will restrict my travel. I shall not, hereafter, travel just to oh tain new ideas and writo about them !nr those I love. 1 will use my old Ideas. They are getting a little thin on tho seat, perhaps, but I can use them Mil the next session of Congress, at which time this offensive clause of the innocuous Commerce bill will be re pealed. It will be repealed on the first day of the session by a rising vote. Some newspaper men claim that they feel a good deal freer if they pay their fare. That is true, no doubt; but too much freedom does not agree with mo. li makes me lawless. I sometimes think that a little wbidesoine rctriction is the best thing in the world for me. That is tho reason I never liiurmiii at tho conditions on tho back of an annual pass. Of course they restrict me from bringing suit against the road in case of death, but I don't mind that. In case of my death it is n.y intention to lay asido the cares ami details of business and try to secure a chnngo of sceno and comploto rest. Peoplo who think that after my demise I shall have nothing better to do thir hang around tlie musty, tobacco spattered corridors of a court-room and wait for a verdict of damages against a courteous railroad company do not thoroughly understand my true nature. Rut the Inter-State Commerce bill does not shut out the employe! Ac: ing upon this slight suggestion of hope I wrote a short tlmo ago to Mix St. John, the gonial nnd wholorsouled general passenger agent of the Chi cago, Rock Island & Pacific road, as follows: Ashviu.k, N.

There has been much comment of lato as to the question of profit in but ler-making on the farm. With the av erage butter-makers, as a rule, tho profits are meagre, and the quality of the product is only such ns lo itiniin.sli, rather than increase, the demand for this article. Intelligent study and mastery of tho principles (and methods following correct principles), is the most ncccssarv duty of those who would pin-sue tliis industry with profit. Hut tlie masterv of principle? and methods is not sullieit'iitJ Interity, pride of reputation, and am bition to excel in the work should bo the ruling purpose witli ull manufact urers, small and great. The slovenly manufacturer and his butter (?) should have the most complete ostracism. Neatness deserves the most cordial recognition. Three things, too, aro to be practiced, besides tho mere process of tlie work. 1. Winter dairying must become the rule with the general farmer, and the cows must have as diligent attention, with this object in view, as the grow ing or harvesting of the grain, 2. The cows should be fed with a pur pose (an intelligent one) to cause their milk to furnish the largest quantity of butter. This embodies also the best of care in furnishini: pure water to Iflnk and shelter from wind and storm 3. The same enterprise is appropriate in tlie dairy appliances that is usual in other branches of the farm work. In addition to the material improvements, such as churns, refrigerators, cabinets etc., the men need, in some cases, more application of muscle to the work in all its departments, especially where one woman does tlie housework for husband nnd threo or four hired men. It is no triflinjr part of the work to ake tho butter to market in very at tractive, neat packases. An lnvitine; appearance is half of its value. Xa tional Live-Stock Journal. Plantation Philosophy.

Dress Materials nnd Htylea That Wilt Bi l'ouular the Coining Hvason. Handsome Roman-striped satins nn much employed for trimming kilter and box-plaited skirts of faille frun eaise, and also for garnitures on cos tunics of line cloth or vigogne. V elvo is alsi combined with these strlpei (which for the skirt very frequently run horizontally), and among idegan dinner gowns areBongalineaud velvet- striped petticoats, with Kussian pol onaise above, made of the richest sntir duehesse in ono plain color of uclc. golden fawn, nut-brown, silver or hm "dish violet which last-named color is a tritlo deeper than tho old-fashioned bishops' purple. This stylish overdress is nuiike very long, with full draping! at tlie sides, and a very graceful ad justment over tho touruure, the chosen shade of the lustrous satin in variably according in tint with one of the colors in tho Roman-striped petticoat Among iio new skirt draperies are two directly opposing styles, the bell skirt and the inverted bell skirt, tho ono designed for ladies inclined to stoutness, which shows the back of tho skirt draped with an effect of extreme fulness at the bottom and a decided collapse as it nears tho back of the hips and waist, lho extreme ot this stylo is for slender women, the fulness coming just below tho waist. Upon some of the models these folds are un July distended at the sides and over the touruure. I he effect, when ar ranged in moderation, is excellent. Beyond this, it is not only inartistic, but often absolutely grotesque, espe cially when the fabric is light or white, these tints naturally adding to tho ap pearance of great si.e. They destroy all natural symmetry, and often impart to a really graceful figure an exceed ingly ludicrous and "squatty" appear ance. There will bo no decline in tho popu larity of lace gowns for dressy wear the coming season. Exquisitely beau tiful designs in laces, both black, white and tinted, are opened on the market, and the fabrics are entirely too lovely in pattern and quality to be slighted. Indeed, there are no materials on ex hibition in tlie entire category of dress textiles which can compare in beauty with tlie new laces and nets for art istic, rare and becoming gowns. Amber, daffodil, primrose yellow, heliotrope, Japanese red, silver gray, rose pink, mauve, ivory and cream white, and pinkish mauve, in surah or satin, will all be used for undorslips to black lace dresses, but first choice is still given, by many women of best taste in dress, to slips of black satin. In making this tho foundation, the dress can then be worn with many different flowers and ribbons, a matter quite impossible if tho slip is of a brill- ant red or any other gay color. A lace dress entirely in black can also bo worn upon more occasions than one which has a bright color beneath the airy drapings. Models for summer bonnetssent over from Paris, are made of silk etaniine, Persian gauze in exquisitely lovely tints, and zephyr silk muslin embossed with raised velvet figures. The brim of the bonnet is covered with dark velvet in black, golden-brown, terra cotta, or Japanese red, and the garni tures are light aigrettes and crape flowers. Pretty day bonnets to be worn at live o'clock . teas, etc., are of fancy rough straw trimmed with velvet and high montiircs of French flowers, and also of dainty nets worked with colored beads in shaded effects, and coquettish shirred silk bonnets trimmed with gold or silver-). iwdered aigrettes and sprays of white lilac in softest velvet. Huge butterflies, both of bronze and gold-powdered gauzes, are again used upon summer bonnets by leading milliners. Straw round hats in dove color and mushroom shades aro trimmed with golden-brown picot velvet, ribbon loops mixed with golden brown tulle, into which are set largo plaques of scarlet Japan poppies. N. r. vost. POULTRY BUILDINGS. How i Great Number of Clilekpns Can r.ailly I In J Itmifce on a Small Farm. The lack of suitable buildings is ono of the chief obstacles to success in poultry -keeping. If only roosts in open sheds or in stables used for other animals are provided, there is no en couragement to raiso large number, or to observe system in their feeding and care. Men too often think that because hens live through tho winter and lay eggs in spring and summer, care would bo needless. They have not been accustomed to fresh eggs all winter, or spring chickens earlier than harvest time, and think life can bo en dured some longer without these lux uries. But wo will suppose that the profits of some thrifty neighbor's wife lias really set them to thinking, and the chickcn-housc, so long desired by mother, lias been really decided upon. Where, and after what plan shall it be built, are the immcdato questions. The boys favor somo location away from the barns. They don't like too "hens cackling around the mangers." Mother and the girls prefer to have it rather near tho house,' "whoro it is easy to look after the biddies in the winter." If tho chickens are to be reg ularly fed in winter, there is no longer any need of their being near the corn cribs or feed-yards. Some sunny, sheltered nook at the edge of the orchard or grove is best, where the most range is to be had, together with warmth in winter. A bank or steep hill, facing south or east, into which the hoiis- can. 1 partly built, will a id to tin coiifjrt iu winter, but care should I e used to so construct it that dampness is avoided.
