One result of Lord Randolph’s visit to Rus sia. may be the advent in this country of the famous gypsy band which is known by tbe name of its leader and conductor, N kolai Shishkin. This Bohemian lend has kmg been one of the chief murieal seusations of tbe St. Petersburg seasou, and Lord Randolph had several chances of bearing it play during his visit. He first beard it at tbe Fi ench amt<as- sador's ball, and was so struck by tbe unique character of both performers and music that his curiosity was aroused« He sought and gained an introduction to Nikolai Shishkin himself, and took subsequently th» greatest interest in him an<l his band.

The Germans have invented horseshoes for bad roads. This is how they do it Th® blacksmith, when finishing a horse’s shoe, punches a hole in the two endi. When the shoe is cold he taps in a screw thread and screws infertile shoe, when on the horse's foot, a sharp pointed stud of an inch in length. With shoes thus fitted the horse travels se curely over the worst possible roads. When the horse comes to the stable the groom un strews the pointed stud and screws in a but ton, so that no damage can bapjien to the hors«, and the screw holes are prevented from' filling.—Home Journal Preservation of Forest«. The preservation of forests from the depre dations of insects and aphides is largely de pendent upon the spiders that inhabit them, more effective work of this kind being per formed by them than by the insect-eating birds. - Examinations of the viscera of the spiders kept in captivity show them to be vo racious destroyers of these creaturers, and as they prefer «lark sj>ots in the forests, which are the places must infested by vermin, the results of their labpr are very beneficial— Globe Democrat. !■ the Nnreery.

Not a bad example of an ambiguous answer is reported to tbe Listener by a ¡northern tour isx, as coming from the pilot o/l<steam boat on tbe Georgia coast. Tbe tourist, who is a Yankee and was a Union soldier, was en gaged in an easy conversation with the pilot in a moment of the latter’s relaxation, and the pilot told him certain war reminiscences of an interesting character, without, how ever. directly intimating that he bad any personal (»art in them. So the Yankee asked, point blank. “Which side were you on during the war F Tbe pilot gave him a glance which seemed to say. “You are too inquisitive,” and then answered. “1 was on the other sida " Then he changed the subject of conversa tion. The northern visitor is still speculat ing as to which tbe “other side" was. tbe other side from tbe questioner’s, tbe other side from the side Georgia was on, tbe other . side of the o«-ean or tbe other side of the QunadiAn border. — Boston Transcript.
