Another murder from cuperstition bu occurred in Russia. Two peasants of Ostrogojshk, in the Province of Voronetsz. decided to become horse thieves and thought it would help their plane If they conld become invisible. This, according to an ancient belief, can be accomplished by lighting a candle made of human tallow. To get the material they waylaid and murdered an 18-year-old boy of the village and removed parts of his body suitable for candlemaking, which they took to their room. There the peculiar odor attracted the attention of their landlady, who called In the police. The men without hesitation confessed the crime and explained the motive. —London Telegraph.

Our Fs and Other Eyes. Our I’s are just as strong as they were fifty years ago, when we have cause to use them. But we have less and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. F. wholesale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: “I have sold Ayer’3 Sarsaparilla for more than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard .anything but words of praise from my customers ; not a single cojnplaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer’s Sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier that has been introduced to the general public.” This, from a man who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, is strong testimony. But it only echoes popular sentiment the world over, which has “ Nothing but words of praise for Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” 1 Any doubt nfyrnt It?

When the animal was cut open a young one was found inside her. The measurements of the mother dugong are: Length, 8 feet: greatest breadth, 1 foot 10 inches; longest finger, 7 Inches; breadth of head, 10 inches; length of head, 12 inches; greatest breadth of tail, 10 inches.

When papering a small room it is well to remember that blue in all light shades makes a room look larger. Dark colors oivpapcrs with large patterns have the opposite effect. Charlemagne possessed a table cloth woven from asbestos. He used to astoulsli his guests after dinner by gathering it up and throwing it into the fire, from whence he drew it cleansed from gravy and other grease. A heavenly census is now being taken by the Paris Observatory; to count the stars the heavens are photographed in sections. Some of these sections show only a dozen stars, while others of the same dimensions show over 1,500. J. E. Gore, writing on the “Size of the Solar System,” says that “enormously large as the solar system absolutely is, compared with the size of our own earth, it is, compared with the size of the visible universe, merely as a drop in the ocean.”

VICTORIA TO RETIRE.

BRITAIN'S QUEEN DESIRES TO END HER DAYS IN QUIET. Rumors of a Transfer of the Crown Again Revived—Feels the Weight of Years—Condition of Her Majesty's Health Is Precarious. Throne Will Go to Wales. The rumor that Queen Victoria intends to retire in favor of the Prince of Wales is again current in London, and it is added that court circles are greatly troubled regarding the condition of the queen’s health. Such reports have frequently appeared in recent years, only to be semiofficially contradicted later. Bnt it now seems that there may be some actual foundation for the statements made. It is added that her majesty has decided to spend her time in future at Balmoral or at Osborne, and that she will give the prince and princess of Wales the use of Buckingham palace and Windsor Castle. There is no doubt that the queen seems to feel greatly the weight of her years and bereavements, and her majesty is quoted as having repeatedly remarked during her last stay iu London at Buckingham palace, upon the occasion of the recent

Queen Victoria first saw the ligtit In Kensington palace May 24, 1819, and ascended the throne Julie 20, 1837. She is t the only child of Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of George 111., and of the Princess Louisa Victoria of Snxe-Coburg. Abraham Lincoln was then u 10-year-old boy, Gladstone ran about iu pautalettes With frills to them and probably trundled a hoop, while Lord Salisbury had not as yet come into existence. The Duke of Wellington was fresh from his triumphs at Waterloo, and Daniel Webster was in the zenith of his fame. Feb. 10, 1840, Victoria married her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, with whom she had long been deeply iu love. It proved, as every ode knows, a most happy union. During their twenty-one years of married life they were blessed with uiue children—four sons and five daughters. George 111. is the only English sovereign who has occupied the throne for a longer period than Queen Victoria. During the fifty-nine years of Queen Victoria's rule the population of the mother country has increased from something under twenty-six millions to close on forty-five millions, and that of the colonies has steadily grown from four millions to seventeen millions.

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY.

Brief History of Ite Inception end Subsequent Growth. The recent event* at St Louis make of interest some account of the growth and origin of the People’s party. hue party had its inception at a meeting held at St Louis in December, 1889. In 1867 the farmers’ movement began In this country with the organization of the grange, or patrons of husbandry. This wa* not a political organization, bnt it spread with the most astonishing rapidity through the western and southern portions of the country. The popularity of this movement caused the organization of a large number of similar societies and all of them grew numerically and acquired some political power. An effort was made to unite all these vartans orgataxations, and at the meeting held in St. Louis in 1889 a consolidation was effected and the name of the “Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union” was adopted. This was followed by a convention called to meet at Ocala, Fla., on Dec. 2, 1890. The convention was held, composed of 163 delegates, representing thirty-five States and territories, and independent political action was decided upon.

A platform was adopted which cmbodiad the following prinoiples: (1) The abolition of national banks and tbe establishment of sub-treasuries to loan money to the people at 2 per cent interest, with an increase of the circulation to SSO per capita; (2) laws to suppress gambling in agricultural products; (3) unlimited coinage of silver; (4) prohibiting the alien ownership es land and restricting ownership to actual use; (5) restricting the tariff; (6) government control of railroads and telegraph lines, and (7) direct vote of the people for. l'resident, Vice-President and Uhited States Senators. This convention was followed by another, held in Cincinnati on May, 10, 1891, at which were 1,418 delegates from thirty States and territories. At this meeting the Ocala platform was reaffirmed and the name of the “People’s party” was given to the organization. A third national convention was held in St. Louis on the 22d of February, 1892, at which little of an important character was done. The first nominating convention was held at Omaha July 4, 1892, composed of 1.299 delegates. No great change was made in the platform, but the income tax and postal savings banks were demanded. In the election thnt followed the People’s party polled for Gen. Weaver, its candidate for President, 1,055,424 votes and he received 22 electoral votes. He carried the States of Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, North Dakota and one vote in Oregon. The party received almost votes enbtigh to eatfi-y Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. There hnve been no elections since then to test the voting strength of the party as a national organization, but in the congressional election ih 1894 the total vote enst for the congressional candidates of the party aggregated 1,310,397, which shows a gain of 254,973 in two years.

HOW THE PRESIDENT IS ELECTED

Members of the Klectornl College Chosen by the Stutce. While the people elect a President by their votes they do not vote direct for the candidate. The work is dono through an electoral college. In other words, each State puts up a ticket of'presidential electors and, these enst the vote which finally decides who shall be President and VicePresident. This ticket is made up so as to give one elector for each United Stutes Senator and one for each member of Congress. The college, therefore, this year will contain 447 electors. The successful candidates for President and Vice-President will be required to secure not less than 224. The college by States is as follows: State. Electors. State. Electors. Number. Number.

THE ARMY WORM.

Some of the Characteristics of This Great Pest of the Farmers. The army worm, which has now made its appearance in many States of the Union, is a species of caterpillar. It hatches from nn egg deposited by a nightflying moth. Like the moth, the caterpillar prefers the night for labor and ordinarily remnins quiet during the day. The hot sun is’distasteful to the worms, and they die if exposed to it for a considerable time. The moth that lays the eggs is nearly one inch long and is one and three-quarters inches from tip to tip of wing. The eggs are deposited in rows of from fifteen to thirty near the roots of grass and grain where they will be protected. More than 700 eggs have been found in the body of a moth when dissected. The worms hatch a week or ten days after the eggs are laid, the time depending somewhat on the climate. When their lives as caterpillars are ended they burrow into the ground and remain there •until spring, when trfey emerge as moths to lay eggs to produce more warms.r The army worm has appeared almost every year, according to the United rotates. Bureau of. Agriculture., Only occasionally, however,.b,ave they been numerous enough to do, scrimps damage to crops. In 1876 the'enf ire’west was overrun with the pest. So numerous were they that they stopped railroad trains. They crawled on the tracks in such numbers that the wheels of locomotive*(Were unable to obtain a grip on the rails. They also swarmed over the engines, disarranged the machinery, thronged the cabs and nnnoyed engineers and firemen. When they are once started nothing but death can stop them. A writer, in describing the ravages of the worm in the West in 1881, said that the sight, as a field of wheat whs being devoured, was discouraging, nud strong men turned away, nauseated, after-gazing on the slimy mass of wriggling worms. As they chewed the leaves a slight, crinkling sound could be heard. Within a few hours the grain was destroyed and the army took up Its march to other pastures.

A Yankee at a Circus.

After a woman had glyen a beautiful exhibition of bareback riding I asked him what he thought of It. “ ‘She could ride a heap rodre comfortable an' run a durn sight less risks o’ breakin’ her neck on a side saddle,’ Bald he. “Then a man gave a bareback exhibition on a trained steer. The animal cavorted around the ring with the man for several minutes, aud then he threw the brute and stood with one foot on Its head and the other on Its side. “ ‘Mighty good way to spile a good beef crlttei** commented the old man. “Next they showed horses in a thunder storm. The stage thunder commenced to roll,and the affrighted horses huddled together In the center of the ring. Then came flashes of lightning, and they scattered as If terror-stricken. It was a very petty exhibition of well trained animals, but the old Yankee was disappointed. “ ‘lt’s all wrong,’ declared he. ‘No one ever see thunder come afore llghtnln'.

Paoli, the county sent, lias opened a rinnl sanitarium, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in their constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a grout variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem with fish, some of them having.been stocked by the* government tisli commisiuon. All indications point to West Radon (and the neighboring springs) as the great sanitarium and popular summer resort of the West. Cedar Luke, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot, where the Monon lias u tine wooded park of nearly. 400 acres. The fishing is firstrate.
