Barbarians of Russia.

Another murder from superstition has occurred in Russia. Two peasants of Ostrogojshk, Tn the Province of Y-or-onetsz, decided to become horse thieves and thought it would help their plans If they invisible.' This, according tg mH ancient belief, can be accomplished by lighting a candle made of human tallow. To get the material they waylaid and murdered an 18-yeai*-Ud boy of the village arid removed parts of his body suitable for candlepiaking. 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.

OurTs and Other fiyes. 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, Mina., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: “ I have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for rrtore than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard .anything but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint 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 dosens 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.” Any doubt about It’ Send for the " Curebook.*’ Il kills doubts and cured doubters.

ITS FACE RESEMBLES A MANIS.

The Dncong Is the Funniest Fish Afloat. The dugoing is certainly the queerest animal that eyer. came out of the sea. “ This dugong was captured t>y a British liian-of-war, near Aden, inj the Red Sea. When the animal was cut open a young one was found inside her. TKe 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. Tne child is 2 feet 6 inches in length, 6 inches in breadth and'its tail at the greatest breadth measures 10 inches. The resemblance of the dugong to a human being is very striking, but very grotesque. The animal seen here looks

like an immensely fat old man, with unnaturally short arms and"wearlng trousers that conceal all of his legs, but his feet. _, This dugong has a round head, bald at the top, with side whiskers, and clearly marked nose, mouth, and ears. Her hands are of enorinoufe size, especially the lingers. One may note that the length of the longestifinger measures seven inches. It would be unpleasant to have such a finger put into any one. The fingers are used for the purpose of sorakchlng up the mud. They are somewhat human.: in form. She has* no a rms to speak of. The skiu of the-flugong is a whitish green In color, and is sprinkled with coarse hairs. The color of the dugong, as well as its form, gives ground for the supposition that it is the mermaid of mythology.

Charlemagne possessed a table cloth woven from asbestos. He used to its touish his guests after dinner by gathering it up and throwing- it into the fire, front whence he drew it eleaused from gravy and other grease. A heavenly census is now being taken by the I’aris Observatory; to count tlie starts the hea veus 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 ortvn earth, it is, compared with the size of the visn>le "mnveT.se, tnerely- as a-drop in tlie ocean.”

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY.

Brief History of Its Inception and Snbeeqnent Growth. The recent events at St. Louis make of interest some account of the growth and origin- of the People's party. '±ue party had its inception at a meeting held at St. Louis in December, 1889. In 18G7 the farmers’ movement,began in this country with the organization of the grange, or patrons of husbandry. This was not a political organization, but 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 various organizations, and at the meeting held in St. Louis in 1889 a consolidation was effected and the name of the “Farmers’ Alliance agd Industrial L'nion” was adopted. This was followed by a convention called 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 embodied the following principles: (l)»The abolition of national banks and the establishment of sub-treksurieS 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 of laud and restricting ownership to ( act^ial ( > iise; (">) restricting the tariff; (6) government control of railroads and telegraph lines, and (7) direct vote of the people for i’residpnt, Vice-President •and United States Senators.

This convention was followed by another, held in Cincinnati on May 19; 1891, at which were 1.418 delegates from thirty States and territories. At this meeting the Ocala platform _xvas 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 1.290 delegates. No great change was made in the platform, but the income tax and postal savings banks were demanded. In the election that followed the People’s party polled for Gen. Weaver, its candidate for President, 1,055,424 votes 4ind be receivwl 'J'J electoral votes. 1 .He carried the--Sta4es- of tlo-lorailo; Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, North Dakota and One vote in Oregon. The party received almost votes endugh to earry Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. There have been no elections since then to test the voting strength of the party as a national organization, but in the congressionaheleetion in 1894 Hile total yote cast 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 Electoral College as Chosen by the States. While the people elect a President by their votes they do not vote direct for the candidate. The work is done through an electoral college. In other words, each State puts up a ticket of presidential-elec-tors and these cast the vote which finally decides who shall be President and -VicePresident. . ■ This ticket is matte up’so as to give one elector for each United ■ States-Senator hnd one for each Aneirtbe-r'bf 'Cbpigress. The college, therefore. contain 447 electors. *;The successful candidates for President nnS Vice-Pyesident will be required lo sectj'togtwt less' thaii 224.

THE ARMY WORM.

Some of the Characteristics of This Great Peet of the Farmers. Tlse army worm, which has now made its appearance in many States of the Union, is a species of caterpillar. It hatches from a.n egg dpi>osited by a nightflying moth. Like the moth, the caterpillar prefers tjie night for labor and ordinarily remains 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. 'Rhe eggs are deposited in rows of frhm fifteen to thirty near the roots of grass and grain where they will be protected. More than 700 eggs have been found ip the body of a moth wlien 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 they emerge as moths lay eggs to produce more worms.

The army worm has appeared almost every year, according to the United States Bureau of Agriculture. Only occasionally. however/.have they been num erbus enough to do' periods damage to crops. In IST<J the entire west was overs run with the numerous were they , that they stopped railroad trains. They crawled on the tracks in such numbers' that the wheels of locomotives were unable to obtain a grip on the rails. They also swarmed over the engines, disarranged the machinery, thronged the cabs and annoyed engineers uml firemen. When they are once started nothing but death can stop them. A writer, in describing the ravages of the worm in the West im 1881, said that the.sight. as a field of wheat was being devoured. was discouraging, and strong ipen turned away, nauseated, after gasiug 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. Gen. Josiah Siegfried died at Pottsonrille, 1a.,-*ged (W. from kidney trouble and nervous prostration. Gen. Siegfried was one of tha prominent military men and philanthropists in the State He was the leading Republican politician o! Schuylkill County.

CHIEF OF POLICE BADENOCH.

while confined in the Pontiac reformatory Jast year that a criminal organization was formed among them, at the instigation of Orme, who is 21 years old. An oath bound ieaeh member of the society to the other by a pledge of death. Any one who betrayed another member of. the society was to be put to death. If arrested and put <m the witness stand and he told the jirtith there, be was to be shot in the court room. If he was put-in a police sweat box and betrayed his comrades a bullet was to end his existence at the first onnortunity. On the Other hilind,~if~one"of them was captured and "remained loyal? every effort was to be made for his release. Money was to be used and this failing, it was arranged that the others were to go into whatever court room their associate might be in with their pistols, stand off the bailiffs, shoot down the police who might resist them, and fly with the rescued one. In the event rescue in a court room was*not favorable, they had another scheme for rescue. That was to follow the train on which their convjcted associate would be, hold it up when it was in the counti-y and take him off. That is the kind of young fellows the police department has been fighting against all spring and summer. Chief Badenoch says that ill his lifetime and with the knowledge which lie has of once famous Chicago crimiiials, he has" never met with a more bloodthirsty or better organized band of thieves than the one which Orme put together. In February the gang who had finished their terms at the reformatory began their depredations. Citizens were held up oil their way home at night. In almost every instance assault folowed the robbery and the victims in some cases werefound unconscious in the streets. The thugs transferred their operations to the large stores and the depredations there have been alarming. More than a score of business places have been robbed and one murder has been committed. That more lives have not been sacrificed is due to the fact that the robbers have not met

with resistance, for they were prepared at all times to shoot down whoever opposed them. Their method almost invariably was to enter a store, draw revolvers, get the drop ou all present and then grab the money box and escape before the frightened proprietors, employes or customers could regain their senses sufficiently to act. Sometimes two men did the robbing, sometimes three, lour or five, but in nearly every case a tall roan and a short roan took a leading part, and fully half the robberies were committed by these two without assistance. The tall man was very thin. The short mnti had a red face covered with blotches and pimples. For weeks the police seemed dumfounded. Almost in their sight the robbers operated as boldly as it 110 police officer existed. The activity displayed by the gang was something surprising and the detectives never knew where they were going to Operate next. One night they would do a job in the center of the city and a few hours later they would complete another ten miles away. This they kept up for weeks. Finally about two weeks ago Red Sullivan was captured while drunk and from him was obtained information which led to the arrest of the others. Orme, Dempsey nnd Monahan were the last to lie arrested. They were captured in Detroit. where they had laid plans for similar work. Ornth. the leader, is a good dresser and would be taken for a student. There 1* nothing about him to suggest a criminal and on this account he succeeded so well. Orme generally walked into the? stores first and the soft smile on his face would disatm suspicion until he got close to the person he intended tp cover, when he would pull out the big revolver and shove It at the man, saying in a low voice: •'Now lie quiet or I will blow daylight "through you.” .

“I attended Barnum’s circus fit New London, Conn., a few day's ago,” remarked a traveling man at the Palace yesterday, “and had the pleasure of sitting beside one of those shrewd, practical old Yankees that we read about and seldom see. I expected to see him enthusiastic over the performance, but he wasntf. After a woman had given a beautiful exhibition of bareback riding I asked him what he thought of it. “ ’She could ride a heap more comfortable an’ run a durn sight leks risks o’ breakin’ her neck on a side saddle,’ said he. “Then a man gave a bareback exhibition on a trained steer. The animal cavorted around the ring—witir the man for several minutes, and 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 er i t ter, ’ cbm men ted the bld 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 Ting. 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 lightnin’. The lightnin’ alius comes first.’ ” —San Francisco I’ost.

Summer Resorts on the Monon.

The summer resorts oh the Monon Route are more than-usually popular this year. West Baden and French Lick Springs, in Orange County, are,overflowing with visitors, and the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county Seat, has opened a rival sanitarium, which 'is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in their constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great 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 fish commission. All indications point to West* Baden (and the neighboring springs) ns thej great- sanitnriiHii and popular summer resort of the West. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favoi-ite picnic and outing spot, where the Monon has n fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is firstrate.

In a dreamy rapture he kissed her golden tresses. “The future,” he exclaimed. joyously, “with Its castles in the air!” She turned with sudden earnestness. “Reginald," she said, decisively, "don't deceive yourself. I tell you once for all I shan't live above the second story under any circumstances.” Pick-Me-Up.

The South is destUied to be. and is rapidly Ik-ebrmng. the "gariti-n of the United States. Here life is easier to live, the rigGrouw winters do not eat up the fruits of the toil of summer, nor are the summers so trying as many Northern people have supposed. “1 used to live only halt the year," said a Northern farmer recently settled in the South, "and I used to work all the time then. Now 1 work half the time and live all the year through.” Homeseekers' excursion tickets will be sold over the Monon Jtonte to nearly all points in the South at the rate of one tirst-fiass fare (one way); tickets good returning on any Tuesday or Friday within thirty-one days from date of sale.

Congress has frequently recognized the existence of others, but with this exception, halt made no staton’the subject. On Washington's birthday and on Decoration Day Congress Invariably pdjourns, “out of respeqt to the illustrious dead," but not even the Fourth of July is recognized on onr national statutes as a holiday.
