Itusslan Factory Operatives.
[San Francisco Chronicle.]
And whither go tho operatives when
they leave the scene of their daily labors?
It h very rare to find in the neighborhood
JftuBMn factories sufficient house room
for the people employed in them. Iu tho
rovemment of Moscow there is only lodg
ing accommodation for onc sixtli of the
operatives. The remaining five-sixths
deep where they*work, either on the bare
boards or heaps of refuse. Xu tho summer
time, when the weather permits, they
deep under tho stars—and that is decidedly
the better place, fbr iu the factories there
is no provision for either decency or
health. The people lie together pell-mell,
covered ouly with the filthy rugs they
wear during the day. When the wCatllcr
is warm, spinners and self-actor winders
often, when at work, dispense with cloth
ing altogether. Tho few who seek lodg
ings outside the factories are not much
better off than those who remain inside.
They arc obliged to take tho cheapest
quarters they can £nd and put up with
. whatever accommodation they can obtain
-vermin-infected garrets, damp and
I gloomy corners of stables and the filthiest
of filthy cabins.
“Let us,” says M. Lopatina, “take a
glance at the house of M. Skoroboga-
toff, who lets lodgings to factory bands.
The court by which we enter is a mero
ditch, filled with unmention&blo abomina
tions. The house itself is a wretched
hovel about twenty feet long, in wh|ch
lodge twenty-seven men, who sleep as
they can round a huge stove which occu
pies nearly one-half of tho principal and
almost tho only room. All the corners
are filled with sacks of fiour, for Bkoro-
bogatoff keeps a store, and under the flour
arc stored a lot of sour cabbages, which
create a sickening smell. Thcionly tables
are a few empty up-ended herring barrels,
the onlv seats a few greasy boards, the
only windows three or four unglazcd
holes, whioh command a view of a stink
ing slaughterhouse on the other side of
the court.”
The Confederate Battle Flag.
[Washington Cor. Cleveland Loader.]
I saw Gen. Joe Johnstou on the street
today. lie is as straight as an arrow,
and tho onlv sign of ago is seen in his
•ffity gray hair, which flows In silvery
ram almost to his shoulders, and in his
full gray beard. Otherwise be might pass
for a young man. His dignified step is
firm, his eyes bright, and his health ap
parently perfect. lie is now ?7 years of
■ge. but he does not look over CO. He
lives on Connecticut avenue, ono of the

P°«, in comfortable circumstances.

origin of the Confederate battle flag now

HablU or 'tlie Game-Bill' Beam on
the Trail.
- ftlfi Kansas City Times J
Jroni their long experience in the Alle
ghany forests and close observation of the
habits of game, these old hunters know
exactly how and where they may expect
to find deer, according tefthe conditions oi
weather or nature of the country. They
know when deer will be found in the
swamps, when they seek the elevated
ridges, and when they need be looked
for ouly iu the vqjloys ami gorges. If a
snow storm is gathering tho hunter knowt
it is useless to expect to start a deer on the
ridges, for at least three days before such
a storm the instinct of the animal warns il
of its approach, and the deer leave the hills
aud enter theswami*, where they huddle
together unti| .Hhe storm has come and
gone. . If the weather grows; colder after
the storm they again Ueek tho MBs. -
A deer’s eyesight is not sharp, but its
senses of smell aud heariqgare most acute.
The snapping of a twig will startle the
game and-seud it Hying over tho hills be
fore the hunter U within gunshot, aud the
gentlest breeze blowing.from the' hunter
will curry notice of his presohec to the
sensitive nostrils of the deer, although
it maybe half a mile away. The ap
proach upon a deey must therefore always
be against the wind. No matter how
strong or cutting the blast the hunter must
face it as he stalks or he will never be re
warded by the sight of a deer even, to say
nothing of his getting a shot at ouq. Ou
rainy days. When the icavei ire wet and
packed to the earth, it is p6* >iblc for war’
and r- experienced hunters to approach
jvithiu a few feet of the ,/ame without
their presence being known. The hunters
are particularly expert at hunting of this
kind, and It is not unoommon for them to
steal to-within twenty feet of the largest
bucks on days when the npise of their
footsteps is deadened by the damp leaves.
Although tho laws of Pennsylvania pro
hibit the funning of deer with dogs, these
old hunters certainly take dogs with them
to the woods—“for company,” thoy Fay.
They seem to bG very particular, howevor,
in the choice of breed of their canine
company. Qniy dogs that paturc has been
prodigal ..Withfln_tUe .matter of ear, arid
quite liberal as to voice are permitted to
enjoy the hospitality of the veteran’s
camp. They say tbev have no us<
dogs in tbc chase, its Bill Beam, a noted
deer-huntcr, can run all day bet
ter than a lioufifl; * and wlion
once on the trail of a wounded deer
never gives up until lie cobies up with tlio’
game. This great endurance of Hearn’s is
well known among the hunters, and many
stories of .his long runs after wounded
dter aro related. Me is particularly fond
of telling how ho wounded a buck some
years ago, and it got away. He started
on its trail and followed it nine hours on a
steady run before he ran the gnme down
The ’course the deer had takeu led bin

An Actor YFlio Doesn’t Swear.
[Chicago Nows.] •
“No, ” said a young actor who had been
talking to a little group of companion*
and using a good many oaths in his con
versation, “no;, oil people who -play are
not profane. At least 1 know one r,ctor
who doesn't swear. He is George
Miin, the $x-preacher. I ;played third
witch in “Macbeth” in his company one.
night in St.' Paul. Burleigh played Mqc-
both and Mila played Macduff. Wheu we
itches went on In the caldron scene wo
ere all fixed up in flrst-class style, and
we did the wholo business as nice as any
three witches ever did it. But whou ft
came timo for tho caldron to sink into tho
earth tho trap-door stuck fast, and the old
soap kettle tipped over sidewise and soil led
nil the torpedoes, and green fire and tilings
all over the floor. Tho. stage got into a
blaze, somebody shouted ‘Firc!~ and tho
audience began to get frightened.
“Burleigh stood in the wings, swearing
like a trooper, but Miln just stood around,
looking mad. and saying ‘Oh? dear 1’ I
got to laughing and so did tbo other
witches. Somebody turned ou tbc gns and
showed the wholo thing to the audience
Tho audience yelled with laughter, and
Burleigh swore worse than ever, but Miln
didn’t do any swearing. Then another
time in Kansas City I was, playing the
secretary to Miln’s Bichclieu. 1 dressed
for the part iu a hurry and didn’t take
time to put on stngo shoes. I had on a
long robo and thought I was all right. So
I advanced to the front of the stage, struck
an attitude, and began to look as pictur
esque as I could. Richelieu was in the
middle of a long speech when some fellow
the gallery yelled out; ’Get onto his
noliain light-topped shoes!* .That broke
the audicucc up and spoiled the speech.
But Miln didn’t iwear any—ho only looked
moil. Any other nctor would have sworn
under his breath for flve minutes. ”
