THE REYOLUTIONlsTS.

From the Chicago Tribune J

the anarchist and his associates clearly
defined. And, in the place, the writer
discovers close relation between revo-
lutions and climate. OF 1872 political
uprisings in Europe, the majority oc-
cured in Italy, Spain and Greece, while
Russia, Sweden and Norway contributed
but few. Then again we find that of
this number thirty-two took place in
June and thirty ia July, while in No
vember and January there were only
twelve and fifteen, respectively. Heat,
then, must be considered as an important
factor in revolutions. The learned doc
tor has also discovered that, however
pure may be the lives of some of the
revolutionary leaders, the rank and file,
as rule, have had criminal antecedents,
or are tainted with insanity. Thus,
Jourdan, in the time of the first French
revolution, who from butcher boy be-
came general, cut the throat of his form
er employer, Launey; personally di-
rected the pillage, tie burnings and the
assasinations committed by his troops;
caused the killing of seventy-three off,
Gals at Avignon; and continued his
career of crime until he was himself con-
demned to death by the revolutionary
tribunal. Then there were Hejeune, Of
the same epoch, the inventor of gull
lotine, with which he first practiced on
fowls and Jean d'Heron of Nantes, who
wore a human ear on his hat like cock
ade and carried others in his pocket,
which he made the women kiss. Quite
recently in Russia robbery and assassi-
nation have been used to spread the
doctrines of the anarchists. Schumacher
and kammerar killed the banker Lysart
and several of his family to get possession
of few hundred forms In Germany
Hoedel, who had thirteen years previ-
ously been put under surveillance for
theft, and having no ostensible occupa-
ton, attempted to take the life OF the
Emperor. Reinsdorf, who planned the
attack on the imperial fami-
ly of Germany, was subject to criminal
monomania and had been found guilty
of an assault on a woman. In Paris
during the troubles in 1898 out Of thirty
three persons arrested it was found that
thirteen had already been condemned
for theft. Alcohol is also an important
factor in revolutions. The excesses of
the Paris commune were largely due to
excessive use of stimulants by those who
had been nearly starved during the
siege. 1t is not surprising to be told by
this scientific inquirer that insanity goes
hand in hand with revolutions. The
events of 1871 in France sent l,700 in
sane patients to the hospitals during a
period of eighteen months, and among
he leaders OF the commune there were
our hereditary lunatics and four others

The conditions out OF which grew the
olcomargarinc industry are well iihlStral-
ed by the increasing demand for butter
all over Europe from 1870 down, and t;.a
constantly advancing price. The prodi-
gious advances in this direction ma be
further illustrated by the importation OF
butter, cheese and eggs into England.

The Foxes and the FIarcs.

A fox who was passing through the
forest one day heard a great dispute
among the hares, and he turned aside to
find several of them engaged in hard
knocks around a burrow.
''What's all this row about?" demand
ed Reynard, as he fell among them.

our father is dead, and we can't agree as
to who shall possess his burrow."
''Blt its large enough for all Of you. =

"Wel, III take fact and You can keep

SENATORIAL BIRTHDAYS.

Tie month Of October has given birth
to the greatest number Of Senator's,
eleven having been born therein. March

ccmber, each month having given seven
Senators. February, May and Septem-

mate is oa the sjlpposition that Sen&tor
Logan VAS born February 8, 1926, as
given in two or three cyclopedias. His
age has never been officially recorded in
the Congressional Directory. Nine

ASKING FOR a GUARD.

SO great were the ravages committed
that my young sister and cousin from
Baltimore went into town to ask for a
guard. When the complaint was laid
before General Gregg, he turned to an
officer and said, 'sIell Colonel Gregg

OF his regiment this morning, and ii
needs be he must take one-half of his
men to keep the other half in ORDER

While he was speaking courier came in
and reported "a large body of rebels ad-

for an escort, for the soldiers had been
very lmpcrtinent to them on their way
INTO town. An escort was readily granted
and although our house was near the
out-posts he came all the way to the
door and there received my mothers
thanks for his courtesy. She also asked
him his name, which at first he refused
to give, but upon her reminding him
that he knew not what a day might
bring fourth he gave it: "Major Castor,
of General Gregg's staff" None but
those who have seen and felt it can
realize our feelings as we saw the enemy
advance in such order and numbers,
knowing as we did that only few miles

WASHINGTON, July 16.-White locks
and boards among United States Sena
tors are not always indicative Of age.
Take, for instance, Senator Edmunds.
Ills beard is gray-almost to whiteness
and not in the Senate Chamber is there
another head more bald than his, yet the
the years that he can chronicle are but
fifty-cight. Voorhees,. of the same age,
has not a bald spot on his head and his
head and his heavy, brown hair is but
lightly tinged with gray-a fine specimen
OF physical manhood is this "tall syca-
moro of the Wabash" Coke and Ali
son, each numbering fifty-seven years,
are two other extremes. In the absence
OF hair and color of beard the former
bears striking resemblance to Ed
munds. The latter has a heavy growth
of hair over his entire head, as has also
the other Senator from Iowa, Wilson, of
equal age, but whose hair is gray and
stands straight up like stubble in grain
field. Butler, at 50, from his thin gray
cir and white moustache looks nearly

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine
in powerful doses, as an antidote to
malarial maladies, was once danger
ously common. Happily this practice
has undergone wide reform. Not
only the public, but professional men
have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters Us a safe botanic substitute for
the pernicious alkaloid. The conse
quences of this change are most I'M
portant. Now fever and ague suffer
ers are cured-formerly their COM
plants were only for the time relieved,
or half cured--the remedy failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except
the doses were increased A course
of the Bitters, persisteptly followed,
breaks up the worst attacks and pre-.
vents their return. The evidence in
favor of this sterling specific and house
hold medicine is of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfacto
ry, and the sources whence it proceeds
arc very numerous.
