CHRISTINA, the duke of Montpensier's
daughter, is convalescent.
SEVEN thousand persons in Szeg-
edin and in the vicinity of
that city are still subsisting on charity.
1t has been raining for ten days. The
supply of bread is becoming exhausted.
A DISPATCH from Bombay saws
it is rumored in Cabul that ne
gotations between Yakoob Khan
and the British had failed, because the
latter insisted on the annexation of
Cabul.
AN unsuccessful attempt was made
to assassinate theczar while he was tax
ing his morning walk, near the palace,
April 14th. Four shots were fired with
out effect. The would-be assassin was
arrested.
A DISPATCH from Berlin says 1,04O
Nihilists have already been arrested in
Charkoff. The seventies do not seem
to intimidate conspirators. The report
that General Drentelm's assailant has
been arrested is false. The Charkoff
police have received letter from New
York signed "Bobrikof," stating that
the murderer of General Krapotkin has
arrived there.
A CORRESPONDENT at Berlin says the
scheme for mixed occupation was
practically abandoned after the difficult
ties raised by Italy. There are prob
ably some secret relations between Rus
sia and Italy. At a recent council in
St. Petersburg, Gen. Todleben declared
he believed war was the only solution
of the Eastern Roumelian difficulty.

A TABLE OF wages and the cost of liv-
ing, with the price of staple articles of
commerce, going back as far as the
year 1900, has been published lately.
1t shows that wages during the thir-
teenth century were about 80 cents a
week. In the next century they ad-
vanced some Is cents, and continued to
advance slowly until. in the last CEN
tury, they had reached 81. 81. The
average for farm labor in the same
countries at present is $3.50 per week.
Wheat in the thirteenth century aver
aged II cents, or eight and a half days
labor, bushel. Now wheat is worth,
wholesale, in Europe, about $1.46 a
bushel, or two and half days labor.
In six centuries meat has nearly trebled
IN price, but wages have increased more
than sevenfold.

CAPT. GEINIAN, of the Russian army,
has arrived at Tif1is from Khiva. where
he has been engaged with a party of
engineers examining the overflow of
the Oxus. A special commission, of
which the Grand Duke Michael is a
member, has been sitting at Tifis some
weeks discussing the possibility of di-
recting the Oxus to the Caspian at
Kranshovodsk. Capt. Gelman will
give evidence before the commission,
and then will return to the Kara Kun
dessert, to watch the effects of the
spring floods upon the inundation. The
belief is expressed that these will drive
the water from its present resting place
at Sari Kameesh to within short dis
tance of the Caspian.

What She Risked TO Get Married.

Officers of the Iron Mountain road in
Missouri give the details of romantic
and rather exciting episode which oc-
CURED recently on that line. At Bel
mont woman of fine personal appear
ance and handsomely dressed purchased
a ticket to go north. After travelling
about a mile, and while the train was
at full speed, she suddenly arose, and
walking quickly to the door, she sprang
out into darkness. She was observed
to 20 to the door, but at the time 10
one supposed she had made so dan
gerous a leap. In due time, however,
she again appeared at Belmont, having
walked back along the track, without
having sustained any injuries. She
then explained that she was from the
south, and went under a marriage en-
gagement, but that her stern grand
father interfered and the only chance
left was to seek some distant place for
the performance of the marriage cere-
monY. A place on the line of the rail
road had been selected, where her lover,
who would be along by the next train,
was to meet her. 1t appeared, how
ever, that the grandfather, close in pur-
suit, was on the same train from Bel
mont with the fugitive, although he was
not aware of her near proximity. She
caught sight of him and without hesi-
tation left the car. as stated. After the
train had run few miles, it was found
that she was missing, the conclusion
being that she had fallen from the car
The grandfather having heard of the
circumstances at once concluded that
the reckless woman was the one for
whom he had been in hot pursuit, asd
he took the first train back to Belmont.
Before he got there the lady had made
known her circumstances, and she had
no trouble in finding her friends. The
old gentleman made inquiries for her
upon his return, but was started off in
the wrong direction, and at the same
time watch was kept for the expected
lover, who was easily recognized from
the description she had given. Soon
after his arrival the two were united
legally and no longer feared pursuit.

on the steps of the jail. The rescuers
approached Morgan, and deliberately
opened fire, shooting him down and
mortalIy wounding him. Morgan had
time to discharge his gun before he fell,
wounding one of his assailants. Nor

shooting. The attacking party then
attempted to break into the Jail and
liberate their friends. but failed. They
retired in the face of an excited mob,
who designed lynching the prisoners,
but desisted.

One of the most universal OF the
countless superstitions of South Africa
is the belief IN rain-making," a power
attributed to certain famous native sor-
cerers, who 60 from tribe to tribe, feast
ed and rewarded while the illusion lasts,
and not infrequently murdered as soon
as It Is exploded. One of these impos-
tiers gave considerable trouble to the
English missionaries, Hamilton and
Moffat, while at work among the Bak-
alahirls. Seeing that they were not to
be deceived like the rest, he attempted
to drive them out by asserting that their
white faces scared away the clouds
which his art had summoned. On one
occasion number of chiefs who came
to thank him for slight shower that
had just fallen, were astonished to find
him asleep; but the ready-witted knave
instantly pointed to his wife, who was
churnlng some goats milk in skin
bag, and said coolly: "Don't you see
my wife shaking the rain out of that
sack?" But prolonged drouth sue
ceeded, and the people. enraged at be-
ing thus trified with, declared that the
rain-maker should die. The sentence
was commuted to banishment at the en-
treaty OF the missionaries; but he was
murdered year after by the Bauang-
ketsis, whom he had similarly deceived.

The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when she
is giving her house its spring cleaning,
should bear in mind that the dear in
mates of her house are more precious
than houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regu-
lating the stomach and bowels to pre-
vent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma, and she
should know that there is nothing that
will do it SO perfectly and surely as Hop
Bitters, the purest and best of all medi-
cines. See other column.
