Soul lBurying.

Whenever an Abchasian is drowned
his friends search carefully for tho
BODY. but. il this is not found, they pro-
coed to capture the soul Of the deceased,
q measure which then has become
matter Of Importance.
A goatskin bag il sprinkled with water
and placed with It's mouth, which Ii
stretched open over hoop, looking
toward the river, near the place where
the man il supposed to have been
drowned. Two cords are stretched from
the spot across the river, as bridge on
which the soul can come over. Vessels
containing food and drink are set around
the skin. and the friendso OF the deceased
come and eat quietly, while song is
sung with instrumental accompani-
ments.
The soul, it is believed, is attracted
by the ceremonies, comes over on the
bridge that is laid for it, and goes into
the trap. As soon as it hns entered
that is, when the bag is inf tied by the
breeze--the opening is quietly closed,
and the bag is taken up to the burial
place, where grave has already been
prepared. The bng il held with the
opening to the grave, the strings are
united, and the bag is squeezed into
the grave, and the burial is afterwartl
completed.
This rite is considered Of equivalent
value with the burial Of the body, and
the grave is treated with the same honor
as il the body were really within it,

Pretty Girls In st. Petersburg.

There is much good, I do believe, in
the Russian character. They are q
laborious. long suffering md easily-con-
tented people. But they are, on the
whole, and with rare exceptions in the
low ranks Of life, an ill-favored race,
small and puny, with remarkably plain
features and dingy, sallow complexion.
Very strict orthodox, dare say, but
ugly Christian withal ugly men, aglier
women One may walk about these
streets day after day and never meet
with what in other countries would be
called pretty face. And it was the
same in st. Petersburg, where the only
splendid type Of girl met was Mt the
railway terminus when on the point Of
starting for Moscow, and even she,
faultless rs she was in face and figure,
had q milk-white complexion without o
shade Of that pink which would SO nat
trally have become her early youth.

We demand the abolition Of all banks Of issue

3 We oppose the refnnding of the national
debt or the issue Of Understanding non-taxa-
BILE bonds upon any prctext, and demand the
payment and destruction OF those outstanding
ut the earliest possible moment.
5 We demand gradual income tax where

1. We regard the act substituting railroad
commission for laws governing freight rates in
this State a fraud procured by the railroad
companies through Republican Legislature,
ana demand its repeal. While we favor liberal
national appropriations for the creation and
Improvement Of waterways, We demand laws

railroads, until such time as the people, who

6. We demand that all land grants forfeited
by reason Of the non-fulfllment OF conditions
by railroad companies shall be ct once reclaimed

3. Believing that all questions affecting the
public interest should be decided by the people,
we favor the submission Of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment TO the popular vote.
10. We demand that ali ballots in this State

A REMEDY FOR SCALE BU0s.-At q
meeting Of the California Academy Of
Sciences, DR.. Gibbons exhibited large
bunch of beautiful roses Of exceeding
fragrance, and in full bloom, which he
gathered from bush in his garden
which two months before was overrun
with scale bugs and nearly dead. He
applied to it a mixture Of crude petro-
leum and castor oil, danbing it slightly
on the leaves and stem, not allowing any
to fall to the ground or reach the roots.
Rain followed, and the plants were
throwing out their first growth of leaves,
to which the scale bugs were directing
their attention. No sign Of any scale
insect can he seen in the garden.
To CLEAN KID GLovEs.-Use sweet
milk and white or brown soap. Take a
large piece Of white flannel, dip it in the
mi k, then rub it upon the soap and rub
the glove downward toward the fingers,
holding the wrist Of it by the left hand.
Continue this process until the glove, if
white, looks dingy yellow, but, if col
ored, looks dark and entirely spoiled.
Now let it dry, and then put it on your
hand, and it will be soft, smooth, glossy
and clean. This process applies only to
white and colorcd kid gloves. For
black gloves that ale soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take tea
spoonful Of salad oil, drop few drops Of
ink into it ana rub it over the gloves
with the tip Of feather then let them
dry in the sun.
THE SCIENCE OF PRESERVING WooD.
The journal Of Forestry thus ex-
plains what is necessary to preserve
wood: The primary cause Of decay in
wood is the fermentation and the decom-
position Of the sap that is within the
pores. Wood, pure aud by itself, is not
easily destroyed by the ordinary
| agencies Of nature, namely, wet and dry
weather, heat and cold, etc. II the sap
within tue pores can either be removed
| or rendered inactive. the wood may be
preserved. There are several methods
Of doing this, such as saturating the
wood with mineral salts. creosote, etc.
The cheapest, easiest and therefore the
hest method seems to be to charge the
wood with crude petroleum. Pine. for
example, is made almost waterproof by
saturating it with this simple material,
and, therefore, made much more lasting.
Crude petroleum is very cheap, and may
be applied with a brush until the wood
will soak up no more. In the applica.
| ton care should be taken to avoid acct
dents by lire, and not approach the
work with flame until it Is dry. Al
application of petroleum is especial,
valuable to muchexposed woodwork.

A Veritable "India Rubber Man,.

The strangest phenomenon we have
seen for long time is now on view
in Vienna. "Der Gummimensch,' or
the India-rubber man, is quite the queer
est fellow imaginable. He is a pale,
faccid man, with red hair and bilious
complexion; he wears black velvet
knickerbockers and is very polite. He
can seize the skin of his chest with both
hands, pull it away from his body about
eighteen inches and raise it to the level
of his head; and yet, when he leaves go,
instead of the skin hanging in horrid
folds, it goes spreading itself again, so
that not a crease is to be discovered,
The skin of his nose he can stretch six
inches, the skin of his fingers two inch
es, so that his hands look sizes Nos. 20
or 80. He drags at the calf of his leg,
and behold goodly and translucent
membrane, in which can be seen the
ramitied network of arteries, pink and
pulsating. This does not hurt him. He
can-but enough. You see that he well
deserves his title of "Gummimensch."
What with his cadaverous face and
gluey elasticity he much reminds one of
Dore's CHASTITY portrayal of the damned
in the grand illustrations of the ''Infer-
no." The medical faculty are highly
exercised anent this man, and they have
begged him for the smallest strip of
skin Just for microscopical investiga-
ton. There has not been such case
for two centuries, and in those days of
course the microscope was rather prim-
tive. ''Gummimensh'' is q Bavarian,
thirty-two years of age, married and has
three normal children. He charges two
fiorins to show himself His skin feels
like velvet, or rather like the breast of
q plucked fowl, but it is not sweet
sensation to touch him. Vienna Cor.

CLARE.
A Practical Lesson.

Georgia! l fear you must put of
going to Brighton for the present, un-
less you will go with the children with
out me. After all, why should you not
do that. and take the governess with
youP"
Mrs. Sanderson raised her large hand
some eyes to her husbands face, and
stopped in the act of filling the break
fast cups. What can you mean. Wal
terP" she said slowly. 81 do not quite
understand. Why must 60 to Brigh-
ton without youp'
because, my dear, must run down
to Scotland instead. My mother wants
me-"
80, your motherr' and a slight
cloud came over her usually calm face.
She had not met with many disappoint-
ments in her married life as yet, and
she had been looking forward for some
time to this visit to Brighton.
Eyes; she writes that she would like
me to go down as soon as can"
"Is she ill, or whatp Does she give
no reasonP" oa.......
"Well, no; can't say she does; but
imagine somehow it is something about
Clare" 20
''Clare! 1 daresay it is. What is she
doing nowp Of course, you know,
Walter, that / never interfere in your
private family concerns; but in my opin-
ion, you should strongly advise your
mother just to give her her own way.
A very short time of nursing in an in
Urinary would completely cure her of
that whim. She is not at all the kind
of girl for that sort of thing, brought
up as she has been, every one yielding
to her, and running wild all over your
fathers estate followed by haif-a-dozen
dogs, and getting her own way in every
thing. believe it would do her great
deal OF good to go as nurse to an in
Urinary r4p
81 have no doubt you are right; but 1
ana certain my mother would never
agree to it. Let me see. This is
Thursday. / could go down on Satur-
day, and be back again by Wednesday
morning early. That would give me
three clear days there, and bring me
home in time to take you to Brighton
on the Thursday. That was the day
you intended going, at anyrate."
And SO it was arranged. Mr.. San
derson travelled down to Scotland the
following Saturday, in obedience to his
mothers summons. He had already
decided that some new freak of his sis
ter was at the bottom of the whole
thing, and therefore, though annoying
to bis mother, not likely to be at all
difficult to manage. ~ni
lit all comes from girls being
brought up at home. If they could go
to public schools like boys, and get all
the nonsense taken out of them, it
would be thousand times better. A
girl like, Clare, living constantly at
