said all his children were dead.
When the last one died, few days
ago, he asked him with his last breath
to meet him in heaven. He promised
to do so, and was desirous OF keeping
his word.
The largest cotton mills In the
world are those at Narva, In Russia,
on the gulf of Finland, eighty-one
miles from st. Petersburg. One COM
pany there own 100000 spindles. The
Harmony mills, Cohoes. n. Y, having
275.o0o spindles, are the largest in the
United States.
1t is estimated that two. thousand
human beings die every hour. At
that rate it would take century to
depopulate the whole earth. But it
is estimated that about twenty-three
hundred human beings are born
every hour, which makes up the loss,
and gives a net gain of oyer two and
half millions year.-Mechanic.
The wheat this year in Oregon Is
larger and plumper than known for
years, and will average from sixty
two to sixty-three pounds to the
bushel. There has been an increased
acreage, which more than offsets
the average decrease in yield OF
bushels to the acre. The increase,
together with an increase in weight.
will give not less than ten per cent.
more bushels than in any previous
year.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has prepared a statement Of COL
lections made during the last fiscal
year, which shows that $223, ,712,622
OF tax have been collected. practically
without loss to the government OF
one cent. The only apparent loss is
that Of $l1 900 In three districts. The
surefies in every case are good. and
within few months the government
will be reimbursed every dollar of
this sum. And yet Voorhees, and his
crew are bowling about our corrupt
civil service" .o
Any number Of English law lords
and judges have been men of humble
origin. Lords Eldon and Stowell
sprang from coal filter; Tenderden
and St Leonards from BARRIERS; Lord
Hardwicke. who became attorney

hanged for forgery; Chief Baron Pol

the ablest advocate OF the century,
was the son OF an Exeter tradesman,
as was Lord Clifford.
Nine feet ten inches at the shoulder
was the highest elephant Mr.. Sander
son, an expert in such affairs, ever
measured. A thoroughbred elephant
is worth $4,000 or more. In 1886 the
price was $225 head; now none can
be had for less than $3.50. and tuskers
OF any pretension are held at from
$4,000 TO 81 800. At twenty five years
the elephant is full grown, and it win
live from eighty 10 120, or even leo
years. The government load Is 1,640
pounds, inclusive OF chains and at
tendants, and the daily rations Is 800
pounds Of fodder. Two elephants
which had quarreled we're separated
for fourteen years and then taken out
on hunting expedition. They met
without any seeming recognition Of
each other, but on descending
slanting path down the steep bank OF
a river. the one behind on q sudden
made a plunge forward and upset its
old adversary, mahout, howdah, guns
and all into the river.

proof was found in the fact that his
brother was one OF the government
ministers, and enjoyed the special
confidence of the Czar. This only
nerved her for the effort she was
about to make, the more so. as this
minister was a constant attendant at
her receptions, and acted very much
as il he himself was in love with her.
She asked, through the American
minister, an opportunity of making
statement to the Car concerning
one of his officers. This was granted,
and without giving names she told
her story. The Czar was indignant
and declared that this officer should
suffer whatever punishment she de-
manded. He called in his minister,
the brother OF the culprit, who
avowed that such a man should not
be allowed to remain in the armies OF
the Car. His uniform should be
stripped from him. Then there was
a dramatic scene when the Czar
asked the name OF the offender, and
she gave it. The brother exclaimed
in rage, perhaps of disappointment,
jealousy and love. He shall be
hangedl" But she said she would
not have indignities put upon him.
She felt herself above revenge; all
that she asked was justice.
A peremptory order was dispatched
to the post to which Count -
was stationed. requiring his immedi-
ate appearance before the Gear. He
came of course; Counts are prompt
when Czars command. He was pon-
fronted with the disclosure and told
by the Car that he must comply
with the lady's demand, which was
that he must fulfill his promise by
completing the marriage ceremony.
Now, manIike. the Count was taken
with the spirit and courage and bril-
liant cleverness of the girl whom he
had once sought to deceive. he
would have liked to begin second
wooing before the second marriage,
and would have been glad, no doubt.
the match once settled to be devo-
ted husband to such rare woman.
But he was very ooolly received, and
an unmistakable intimation given
that he need not present himself
until the day OF the ceremony, and
then at the church. The day came,
and the half married maid appeared,
dressed wholly in black; her mother
also In black. The somber bride
met her husband at the altar. for she
would not even walk up the aisle
with him. The ceremony was per-
formed. At Its conclusion, she made
him a sta ely salute, walked down
the aisle and out of the church;
stepped into the carriage which was
in readiness for long journey, and
set out at once for the frontier. She
has never seen her husband since.

1t has often been remarked that
politics makes strange bedfellows,
but we doubt II the spectacle has ever
before been witnessed Of the Democ-

Not the Dress.

Who shall Judge the man by his manners 2
Who shall know him by his dress
Paupers may be ut for princes,
Princes fit for something less;
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thought and feelings,
That 10 honor upward soar.
There are springs of crystal nectar,
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden.
Hidden, crushed, and oyergrown,
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While He values thrones the highest.
But as pebbles of the sea.
