VictOria's Fear of Assassination.

Queen Victoria was strangely moved
when she heard the news of the at
tempted assassination of the Gar. She
has morbid dread lest somebody shall
take it into his head to put an end to
her happy reign by shooting her. She
never travels even from Westminster to
London without an escort of from three
to twelve sta1wart gentlemen. Four of
these attendants went to Italy with her
to enjoy the scenery and to protect her
from assassins. A correspondent of the
Cardiff Times relates an incident of the
Queens passage through Edinburgh a
few years ago. She had gone thither
to unveil statue of the Prince Con-
sort. The city was full from gate to
gate with loyal and enthusiastic popu-
lation. All went well with the process
sion, till, just as it was about to turn
into the square in which the statue is
erected, sudden stoppage occurred.
The Queen. who was sitting in an open
carriage, seemed struck with sudden
terror. She started, clutched the side
of the carriage with her hand, and. with
every vestige of color fed from her
face, hurriedly asked what was the mat
ter. It was nothing butte cavalry horse
performing maneuvers not included in
the programme, but it seemed as if she
thought that another brainless boy had
been caught with his obsolete nlusket
loaded with red pocket-handkerchiefs,
and his head filed with designs on the
Life of the Queen Of England.

The Zulu Weapon.

There are two principal kinds of as
sagais, the throwing and the stabbing,
the latter with a long and straight
blade. To Kaffir this weapon is liter
ally the staff of life. With it he kills
his enemy and his game, slaughters and
cuts up his cattle, trains their horns,
shaves bis own or his neighbor's head,
does his carpentry and furriery, and
countless other jobs of various sorts.
In it's original form, the assagai was es-
sentially missile, but the renowned
Clarke, among other military reforms.
converted it into shorter and heavier
stabbing spear, unfit for throwing, and
only to be used at close quarters. The
shaft, with an average length Of nearly
five feet, and a diameter equal to a
mans little finger, is cut from the as
sagai tree (Catrtisia jaqi1aea), which is
not unlike mahogany. The wood is
brittle, yet elastic, the latter quality
giving the spear that peculiar Migratory
motion on which it's accuracy of flight
SO much depends. On account of the
brittleness, novice will break many
shafts before he learns to throw his as
sagai secundum artem. Inaptly cast
the shaft as soon as it reaches the
ground is liable to whip forward and
break off short above the blade. The
assagai heads are generally blade
shaped; some consist of mere spike
and a few are barbed. When the first
shape is adopted, whether with or with
out the barb, there is invariably 9
raised ridge along the center of the
blade, which is concave on one side and
convex on the other. The reasons as.
signed for the peculiarly of form are
that this blade acts like the feathers Of
an arrow. and that. as the heads are al
ways made of soft iron, they can be more
easily sharpened when blunted by use

What ia NihiliSm 2

Were any six ordinary men called
upon to define Nihilsm, five of the six
would probably describe it as an associ-
alton of Russian republicans for the
purpose of superseding absolutism by
popular government. But this def
milton would be wholly wide of the
truth. It would be much more correct
to pronounce it modern revival of that
terrible SECRET tribunal " of the Middle
Ages, known to historians as the Vehme.
gericht, which punished by assassination
the crimes of offenders too powerful to
be reached bv law The genuine Mill
lists creed is very much that of the
Saxon outlaw Hereward, who, when
asked by William the Conqueror's en-
voys what he could hope to gain by re-
sisting their master, replied, sternly: II
hope to live in these woods till die,
and to kill every Norman meet"
What Burke said of the French Revo-
luton is eminently true of this strange
offshoot: at cannot build, but only tear
down." It's ablest chiefs, when asked
what they would substitute for the Gov
eminent they are striving to overthrow,
have found no answer. Socialism, in
deed, has it's programme of an ideal
future, when the work of destruction
shall be done; but Nihilism is the pres
ent of Socialism, without its future.
Indeed, with all it's wonderful ramifca-
lions, the Nihilist movement can hardly
be considered as an organized system at
all; it is rather the fierce natural in
stinct that makes the lion turn upon the
hunter who mas wounded him, and the
heart of a nation rise in vengeance
against the oppression which proverb-
ially "maketh wise men mad"

Portable Engines.

Messrs. Wood, Taber & Morse, of
Eaton, Madison county, N. Y, are the
Oldest manufacturers of portable steam
engines in the country, and, for the past
twenty-five years, have stood where they
stand to-day-at the head of this great
industry. They have made the con-
struction of their engines study from
a scientific as well as a practical point
of view, and, as consequence, have
produced the most complete and effec-
tive engines ever put on the market for
portable purposes. Their agricultural
engines are especially adapted to the
work for which they are designed, and
have found steadily-increasing favor in
the eyes of the agriculturists through
out the country. The necessity for the
use of steam upon farms of any magni-
tude is daily becoming more manifest,
and its use for different purposes grows
more general with each succeeding
seasoa. kores q everywhere else, steam
is great economizer, and its savings
can BE felt directly and counted up to
the penny. The experience, reputation
and known responsibility of Messrs.
Wood, Taber & Morse guarantee to all
purchasers of their engines full value
for price given, which is covering the
entire bill. They have every facility
for producing the finest engines, and
they do it. Every engine is carefully
tested in parts, and then as whole, and
the guarantee of the firm is never put
to inferior work. Their work is all of
the one grade, and that the best. For
the present season, they have added
new and desirable features to their en-
gines, and have placed them more than
ever in the advance of their competitors.
These engines are at work in every Sec
ton of the country, and are giving, in
all instances, the highest satisfaction.

Canceling Postage Stamps.

Every now and then a paragraph goes
the rounds to the effect that some &C.
centric individual will give SO many
hundred dollars for 100000 Cancelled
postage stamps. Several persons have
succeeded in collecting the 100000,
and in some instances $500 or $500
were paid for their collection. Those
who innocently aid in making these
collections little think that, in most
cases, they are helping to defraud the
Government. Advanced as scientific
knowledge is at the present day, there
has as yet been discovered no prepare
ton for canceling postage stamps that
will not wash of. It is estimated that
the Government loses 100000 every
year by the use of washed stamps in the
postoAice alone. The loss through
washed revenue stamps is also great. A
million cancelled Scent stamps, when
washed, are worth $4,000. This being
the case, it is easily seen that the man
who invents an uncancellable ink will
make his fortune. Hundreds of inks
and devices have been tried, but it is
curious to note that the most complete
canceling apparatus yet known is the
remote country Postmaster with his
pen and ink. Some time ago a man
travelled from ct. Louis to
Washington with a. bottle of his
ink, being unwilling to risk his
secret by allowing the stuff to
go out of his hands and perhaps be an
alyzed. He reached the department,
and proudly Cancelled a stamp in the
presence of the authorities, who took it
and quickly washed it clean with soapy
water. His ingenuity in trying differ
ent "antidotes" for his ink had not led
him to the use Of the simplest means
procurable. Hundreds of chemical
combinations have been. tried by the
different inventors. Acids of all kinds
have been combined with inks in COM
mon use, and for all of them some other
combination has been found that will
remove all traces and leave the stamp
clean as it was. Inks have been offered
which eat away the paper it is put on,
SO strong are the acids, but, while there
is no doubt of their efficiency, the OBJ
jections to their use are obvious. The
chemist of the Patent Office for long
time found chemical means of washing
out everybody else's ink, and then pre-
sented an invention of his own which
he could not wash out. It was given
to a Smithsonian Institution chemist
and he soon found out how to wash it
clean. After this the department ceased
to expect that an indelible ink would
be found.-Detroit Free Press. ,t-e.

ssFifteen Cents OFF,"

A Detroiter, who dresses well and has
a reasonable share of good looks, had
occasion last week to make trip IN the
country, and one night he found him
self at, q farm house at which party
was to come off. He was invited to par
ticipate in the festivities, and, after he
had consented, the old farmer took him
around the corner of the house and
said: "The young folks are mighty
fond of any game with kissing in it..
They'll get up something and fix it to
make you kiss the handsomest girl in
che ROOM" SWELL, I'll kiss her." was
the prompt reply. Eyes, but hold on a

. About Teeth.

Teeth have been both source of
trouble and vanity to their possessers
from all time, as they still continue to
be. Dentists we're common among the
Egyptians, on the authority of Herodo-
tus, and the extraction of teeth was
known to- the ancient Greeks. Spren-
gel, in his History of Medicine" says
even surgical instruments are be-
queathed by the inventors to these
sacred shrines of medicine. Thus,
Erasistratus presented to the Delphic
Temple Of Apollo an instrument for
extracting teeth" The Romans were
acquainted with the use of false teeth,
and they are mentioned both by Horace
and Martial Among the ancient Jews
it was violation of the Sabbath to
wear false tooth on that day. Teeth
which have been found at Pompeii
were very sound, a discovery which led
to the supposition that the people of
that ancient city did not indulge in the
luxuries which have attended the pro-
gressive march of civilization. Artif-
cial teeth became known in England, it
is supposed, about the fifteenth or six
teenth century. They are mentioned
in the Mathematical jewel" 1886; and
Ben Jonson, in the "Silent Woman, u
refers to them: "Otter speaking of his
wife)-A most vile face! and yet she
spends me G40 year in mercury and
hogs bones. All her teeth were made
in the Black Friars." All the Year
