Glasses in Northern Spain,

[Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.l
In Russia and Brazil / noticed COM
mon characteristic. There were only
two classes of people-the mobiles and
the slaves. In st. Petersburg and Rio
Janeiro, as well as IN the other large
towns of these empires, there were mer-
chants, bankers, brokers, agents, manu-
facturers, and others who constituted a
middle or third class, but outside Of the
large cities the third class was hardly
discernable, and IN the country it disap-
pears entirely. The same social cnar-
acteristic is noticeable in northern Spain
there is no middle class. There is but
little traffic, consequently there are bu
few merchants, and these few are mainly
at Leon. There are no banks or bank
notes or bank checks IN use, consequent
lv no bankers. There is little activity
of any sort beyond tilIing the earth and
consuming its products on the spot, con-
sequently there are no forwarders, no
iobbers, no manufacturers, no agents,
no tradesmen, no mechanics. In a word,
there is no middle class. In this respect
Russia is on a par with, and Brazil is
ahead of northern Spain. Fancy peo-
pie within fifty hours Of London by rail
and without a middle class. It seems IN
credible.

A FIENDISH MURDER.
Terrible Result of Quarrel Between Two
Horse Dealers at Allegheny, Pa.-0ne
shoots The other and then Mangles His
Victims Body-The Murdered Mans
WIFE and Children Witness the Act.

PITTsBURG, Pa, October 6.-One of
the most atrocious murders ever known
here was perpetrated in Allegheny last
night. John Brown went to Henry
Weaver's residence to talk over a horse
trade. This was soon settled, when they
again commenced wrangling about dis
solute woman. Weaver was nursing a
small child. Brown suddenly sprang
from his chair, grasped the child, threw
1t upon the floor, and drew large sized
revolver, which he discharged three
times at Weaver, two balls passing
through the victims head, and the third
through his neck. Weaver died in
stantly. The infuriated murderer then
seized a chair and broke it to pieces on
the lnsensible body of his victim. But
this did not satisfy him. STOPPING down
he pounded the dead mans skull to a
jelly with the butt of the revolver, and
then kicked and stamped the body until
he had to desist from exhaustion. He
then walked out of the house,
passing two or three policemen at the
door, and made his escape. He is still
at large, but it is hoped he will soon be
arrested, as officers are in hot pursuit.
The murder was witnessed by the wife
and children of the victim, who were so
terrified as to be unable to offer any re-
sistance or give the alarm. Both men
were horse-dealers and had been for
years on terms of intimacy.

Advice to a Young Man.
(R. J. Burdette.l

You will perceive, my boy, that every
time man undertakes to manufacture a
little Bible on his own account, he
makes mortifying failure of it. He is
caught at it, and in one-tenth of the time
it took him to conceive his fraud, in as
many hours as it took him months to
prepare it, he is exposed, and his hand
made addition to the Bible is swept
away In the otherru Ofother counter
feiters. You see, my SOD, the Bible
doesn't need any of these nineteenth
century proofs of its truth; its genuiness;
it has stood by itself, "an anvil that has
worn out many hammers through
century after century, unchanged and
un changeable. Every time man
manufactures q new verse or a new chan
ter we know it is not genuine, we detect
the counterfeit. The Bible has no need
of the supporting prop of a fraudulent
ark or a leather Deuteronomy. There
was a complete Bible centuries before
Shapiro happened, and there will be
the same Bible ages after Shapiro and
his patent Deuteronomy have together
crumbled into indistinguishable dust.
The Bible dosen't need our help, our
testimony, our Endorsement. And if
there had never been discovered in all
the wcrld bit of parchment, piece of
broken pottery or scratched bone. the
Bible would be just as strong as it is to-
day, and men would believe lust as
firmly and trustfully in its truth. Don't
you worry, my boy, because Shapira's
acient manuscript was written with Lon
don ink, and don't fret because the ark
IN the glacier turns out to be put to-
gether with Pittsburg nails. That all
the frauds on the Bible and its history
are so quickly and easily detected should
only convince you how impossible it is
for a man to counterfeit the work of God,
Wait until some man fools us With an
artificial moon, and until some philoso-
pher stores away the sunlight in parlor
lamps, before you believe that man
can successfully initiate what man never
made.

1 Philan1hronic Creditor.


Mr.. George Mack is the keeper Of a
restaurant at No. 10 South Street, and
Mr.. John G. Airport Is the proprietor of
a butchers shop at No. II of the same
street. For some time Mr.. Mack pur-
chased his meat of Mr.. Airport, but
about three weeks ago he transferred his
valuable patronage to another butcher,
and since then Mr.. Airport, according
to his story, has been unable to collect a
bill of S15.S5 which was owing him by
Mr.. Mack. The creditor sent one of his
employes to board at his debtor S restau-
rant, and this man consumed a part of
the bill in corn-beef and cabbage, but
all efforts to secure any money from
Mr.. Mack proved fruitless. On We'll
nesday last Mr.. Mack was seized with a
spasm of philanthropy. He went out
among the docks of the East River and
collected a band OF % hungry men,
negroes, Italians and tramps, and sent
them to the restaurant of his delinquent
debtor, He gave to each slip of paper
bearing the legend, FGood for 10 cents.

their 15 cents worth and go in peace.
The tramps raidod the place in force, to
the disgust and chagrin of Mr.. Mack,
but he honored the orders Of the hungry
crowd. Having disposed of them, he
sought advice from the German Legal
Aid Association. He was told that he
could not refuse the orders of any crowd
that Mr. Airport might bring to the
restaurant. but he coIld arrest that gen

A Joke on Thief.

merriment it was some time before he
could answer:

st. Louis and Chicago.

St. Louis is not able to compete with
Chicago in the glory OF its candy store
windows, IN the size of It's elevators and
feet. or III the muscle of its politicians.
But ST. Louis is the head center of phil
osophy in this country. A St. Louis

endemic, but universal, and the breaker
of our image presents himself most OPP

Thirty years ago Kelley Smith, negro,
was sold IN North Carolina and brought
by his new master to Georgia, leaving
behind him wife and baby boy. Since
that time he had not seen nor heard
from his family. He is employed on the
turpentine farm of Pelham, Stewart 65
Co., seven miles from this place. A
short time ago they employed some
hands from North Carolina, and among
the rest a negro naraed John about 80
years old. As was natural, Kelley Smith
made inquiries about the people in his
old home, and pretty soon he ascertained
that he was talking to his own son. whom
he had not seen IN three decades. From
him the old man learned that his wife was
still living, single, having never married.
He Is now corresponding with her, and
it is more than probable will induce her
to join him and bis son in his new home.

Childless Paris.

The embellishments of Paris have had
the effect CT making the city well nigh
childless. The tradesman who has his
shop on the ground floor and his Sleep
ing rooms on the fourth or fifth story
could not keep children without losing
the services OF his wife, whom be wants
TO help him in his business. II he kept
children his wife would be obliged to
live upstairs, SO he sends out his babies
to nurse as soon as they are born, with
the intention of letting them remain in
the country until they are 5 or 6 years
old; and the ollvrier, who has generally
bat one garret room up dozel flights
OF stairs, does the same thing. The re-
suit Of this is that more than so per
cent. of the children born in Paris die
in the baby farmers bands before
reaching their second Year. All that
the Assistance Publiquo has trte to
do toward checking tins shocking waste
of life has been Of little avail. Forty
creches have been instituted, but they
meet the wants of only small number
OF motheri. A system for registering
and inspecting the homes OF peas
ant women who take children to nurse
has been attempted, but the assistant
gets little help from parents of the work
ing class in contendipg against The IA
pacity OF the baby farmers. A rurse
OF whom no questions are asked charges
rs francs a month for the keep of baby; /;
those who arc registered and SO con-
trolled that they can only receive one
child receive so francs or more.
These find their customers among the
bourgeoisie. but the working classes can
not afford to patronize them.

How to Mix Paints.
from tho journal OF Chemistry. ]

tFrom the journal OF Chemistryl
The following table, the source of
which we are unable to trace at this mo-
ment, though we can vouch for its trust
worthiness, will be found serviceable,
especially for amateurs, as showing how
simple pigments are to be mixed for pro-
ducing compound colors:
Butf.-Mix white, yellow ochre and
red.
Chestnut. Red, black and yellow.
Chocolate.-Raw lumber, red and black.
Claret.-Red, umber and black.
Copper.-Red, yellow and black.
Dove.-White, vermilion, blue and
yellow.
Drab. White, yellow, ochre, red and
black.
Fawn.-White, yellow and red.
Flesh.-White, yellow, ochre and YER
million.
Freestone. Red, black, yellow, ochre
and white.
French Gray.-White, Prussian blue
and lake.
Gray.-White lead and black.
Gold.-White, stone ochre and red.
Green Bronze.-Chrome, green, black
yellow.
Green Pea.-White and chrome green.
Lemon.--White and chrome yellow.
Limestone. e.-White, yellow ochre,
black and red.
Olive. Yellow, blue, black and white,
Orange.-Yellow and red.
Peach.-White and vermilion.
Pearl.-White, black and blue.
Pink.-White, vermilion and lake.
Purple. Violet, with more red and
white.
Rose.-White and madder lake.
Sandstone.-White, yellow ochre.
black and red.
snuff.-Yellow and vandyke brown.
Violet. Red, blue and white.
In the combinations of colors REQUIRED
to produce desired tint, the first.pam-
ed color is always the principal ingredi-
ent, and the others follow in the order of
their Importance. Thus, in mixing a
limestone tint, white is the principal in
gredient, and red the color of which the
least is needed. The exact proportions
of each color must be determined by ex-
pertinent with a small quantity. It is
best to have the principal ingredient
thick and add to it the other paints
thinner.
