a child with her. He went to the

the wife has been living with Pat.
Murphy, laborer. The men got into
a quarrel over the affair, when Dobson
drew a knife and cut Murphy in the
head and abdomen. The wife then
gave Murphy a hatchet, and he began
hacking Dobson over the head, knock
ing him insensible and chopping his
head almost to pieces. When they
were found by the officers both men
were nearly dead from their wounds.
They were taken to a hospital, and
are expected to die at any mo-
ment. Dobson's head is fractured
in several places, the back part being
almost completely severed. In a fight
with two unknown men in house of
prostitution, Joseph Margue, an ex-

dOmen.

BELLIGEREETL LEGLSLATORS.
An Intoxicated Representative Creates q
: Rumpus In the Ohio Assembly.

An 12toxicated RePre:ent.tive Creates i.
= Rumpus In the Ohio Assembly.
"A Columbus, O., dispatch of the Goth
says: "While discussing the general
appropriation bill in the House to-
day Allen o. Myers, member from this
city, who appeared somewhat intoxi-
Gated, accused Mr., Littler with being
influenced by capitalists, and charac-
terlzed- him as a sneak, liar, q thief
and a cur. The Chair endeavored to
call him to order, but Mr.. Myers per-
sisted and refused to obey the order
OF the speaker, heaping the vilest
ephitets upon the House generally.
Mr.: Littler, deathly pale, suddenly
rushed across the aisle at Mr. Myers,
and the excitement that ensued was
equal to prize fight. The members
rose to their feet with one accord, and
started in the direction of the belliger-
ent statesman, the whole body yelling
like eComanches. Mr.. Stillwell and Chief
Clerk Fisher shielded Myers and
prevented Mr.. Littler from striking
him. Mr.. Stouffer stood with g. chair
poised in the air ready to brain any
sane who attacked his colleague.
While this scene was being enacted,
the speaker Mr.. Cogan) was vainly
pounding and calling in a stentorian
voice on the sergeant-at-arms and his
assistants to separate the hot-headed
members. When the officials finally
appeared on the scene the cooler legis-
lators had quieted the agitated par
ties, and sort of peace rel eigned. N.Y.
ers' friends quickly secured an ad-
journment and STAYED off the resolu-
tions to expel, which we're being writ
ten. Two such resolutions were pre-
pared, however, one to be introduced
by Democrat and the other by a
Republican,, and there is no doubt
that Mr.. Myers will be expelled. Mr..
Myers has treated the House to sever
al such exhibitions already, but has
smOothed them over"

In Central Asia, as the Russian out
posts are advanced, the railway and
telegraph creep up behind them, so
that instant touch with St. Peters
burg is always possible, and the whole
force of the empire is .'shoulder to
shoulder" This thoroughness of de-
tail will serve to show how strong
Russia may be in Central Asia, even
while the numbers of the army there
are apparently weak. Yet it is Ger
tain that the trans-Caspian force
numbers more than 10000 men,
and that a large army could confront
the Afghan defense of the frontier.
Money is the main trouble in Russia,
but somehow nations which find
a difficulty in raising money in time of
peace can always easily get it in time

How to Lift the Burden,

my son, pu thatlogon thewagon.'
II cannot, father. 1t weighs many
tons, and exceeds the strength of
hundred men,"
"You can put it on the wagon, and
l will teach you how. Chop and
split it into lengths suitable to your
strength. Now let this be q lesson to
you. All through life you will find
heavy burdens to carry, heavy tasks
to perform. Do not inspect them in
bulk and become disheartened, neither
grapple nor attempt to master them
with one effort. Perform what your
strength will permit-a little each
hour-each day. You will gradually
become strong, and meet with success
in the end. BY attempting to lift q
heavy log at one effort you might in
jure yourself beyond recovery, but by
lifting a little at time, you would, in
life time, move more logs than could
be stored in a township. Great sue
cess in life is secured by knowing your
strength and lifting accordingly; by
continuous and persistent efforts rath-
er than a momentary struggle. There
is another way by which you can
move heavy 10 ogs. There are many
inventions designed for this purpose,
the existence Of which you do not
suspect. In some instances you are
only required to attach the graphing
hooks and the burden is borne where
ever you desire. Remember that in
all undertakings in life there is one
way to proceed much better than all
others. Investigate closely, assuring
yourself that you are working by the
best methods. Otherwise you will be
lifting the log without appliances.
Only the best methods lead to success
in this progressive and competitive
age. If you cannot discover these
methods you will see your rivals push
ing ahead. You will be outrun in the
race"

Average Annual Cost of Living.
From the PHILADELPHIA Bulletin1


How many persons have even a
rough idea OF the average sum upon
which by far the larger part of the
citizens OF the United States are fed,
clothed and housed? A recent statis-
tician estimates that eighty per cent.
OF the population of this country is
supported by from forty-fve to fifty
cents per capita day. At the latter
figure this makes $164.25 as the
average annual cost of living; but as
by average We mean the balance
between extremes, there must be
many persons who have not even this
sum to live upon. That fifty cents a
day is a generous estimate will be ad-
mitted when it is remembered that
many mill operatives earn only from
five to seven dollars a week, and that
the wages of farm hands run from
twenty to thirty dollars a month, and
that On these sums several persons
are often supported. When it is re-
membered, too, that some other
human beings have q yearly income
equal to what is necessary for the sub
sistence OF 500 or 1000 of these
average mortals, the startling con-
trast between the extremes Of our
modern society must be most evid ent
