Power of the Russian Police.

There is no power on earth so arbitrary,
so o~mnipotent, so omnicient and so re-
morseless as the Russian police! l shall
have something more to say about them
in n future letter, but stop here to advise
every traveller bound for Russia, of what
ever age, sex or nationality, to take a
passport properly Endorsed by the repre-
sentative of the Russian government at
New York or Washington. 1t will do no
harm, and it may be usefult to have both, for
the Russian police are of an inquiring frame
of mind and lack confidence in human
virtue. With n passport Properly vised,a
strict obedience to all the regulations that
are plain and unmistakable, a discreet
tongue and a decent behavior, one can be
as safe and comfortable as in any country
on the globe, and see much and enjoy
much that cannot be seen or enjoyed else
where. 1t has few picturesque land
scapes, no mountains and no springs; but
the people and the palaces, the churches
II the customs, will revivify the most
blase traveller, and the gayeties of both
the summer and winter seasons offer a
treat to those who have exhausted Paris
and other social centers of the world

A London specialist, one DR.. Edward
Pick, has come to this country to tell
Americans how to cultivate and train
their memories. Up to a certain point,
DR.. Picks speciality implies a desirable
attribute. But life is 80 very full of
things that one is happier in forgetting
that a %retentive memory is another name
for continual unhappiness. If the emf
nent Englishman can so train the men,
DRY that its power to retain agreeable
recollections can be cultivated-its prone
ness to recall all the disagreeable events
of the past can be curbed, then he should
be encouraged, and many will there be
who wiIsrise and call him blessed. ''The
pleasures of memory" have been immor-
talized in poetry, but the Lethe of forget
fulness is, after all, q desirable quality

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. ia great
number OF Knights OF Labor, delegates
to the general assembly, are arriving In
the city to attend the session which begins
tomorrow. A lively time is expected, as
it is thought that opposition to General
Master Workman Powderly will develop
strongly. OwinG to the distance many
district assemblies will not be represented,
in fact, it has never been possible to have
a really full attendance at any Que of
these annual meetings. This year an
attendance of from $50 to 200 is all that
the leaders look for, but that number
may prove sufficient to make matters
pretty lively.
The committee on credentials, which is
required to be in session forty-three hours
prior to the session, has been steadily at
work to day. Besides minor contests
which 1t is thought will be satisfactorily
adjusted, there is a report of a contest in
district assembly No. 40 of New York.
The committee then took a recess until
to. morrow morning without having come
to a consideration. Thomas Barry of
Michigan will be present as a delegate
from the axe-makers' assembly, but
whether he will be admitted remains to be
seen. He has been expelled from the
executiv We board and his seat will be con
tested on the ground that he is ineligible
because of such expulsion.

JNO: F. UNRHObb.-
VOTED LIKE SHEEP.

The RaWlins Journal calls attention to
one feature of the election to which ref
erence has already been made In THE
LEADER. 1t is a subject worthy the at
%tention of all thoughtful people:' The
returns from some Of the Carbon county
precincts" says the Journal, show that
the Republican county ticket is elected oY
one of the largest maiorities in the history
OF the county. Carbon precinct cast 9O9
votes, with an average Republican major
ity of 400. 1t would have been Impossi-
bic for the Democracy to have overcome
this majority, even If Rawlins had gone
Democratic by her usual vote. The fact
that the great interests of this country, Its
growth, its financial management and
prosperity, and its control of the future
should be left to the decision of o or 400
ignorant foreigners, who happen to be
temporarily engaged in coal mining In
Carbon, is enough to awaken alarm among
those whose fortunes have been cast in
this country.
Men were ~naturalized at Carbon a few
days prior to the election who are unable
to speak the English language, or to un-
derstand the elementary principles under
lying our form of government. These
men are voted like sheep, and we doubt
if two hours after they had deposited
their ballots they could recall the name of
a single candidate on the ticket they
voted. This affected not only the result
on the county ticket, but had a far more
reaching effect, intending to defeat the
will of the actual settlers and residents
throughout the territory on the congress-
ional candidacy. If this is permitted a few
stock cars loaded with this same class of
immigration can be dropped into our coal
mines prior to an election, and the will of
the people defeated by the votes of a
shifting population whose interests in the
county and territory are measured by
the rate OF wage they receive for a day s
work.
mo matter which way this vote can be
thrown, add it has been a frequent boast
that it was only a question Of money and
amount, it is all wrong and means should
be provided by legislation to prevent its
repetition, and while its result to-day is
favorable to the Republican ticket, no safe
prediction from hat fact can be made for
the future. The lesson to be learned is
that the interests of Carbon county, ire
spective of party, is left to a controlling
element uniRterested IN our laws, our
ideas, our hopes of prosperity and growth,
and ignorant and careless of the outcome
of their political action. None regret this
more than the better element living in
Carbon, but they are helpless under the
circumstances, and can only rely on the
verdict rendered by the voters outside OF
hat community, which in this election has
been rendered adversely to them"

AS time progressed and age succeeded
G the great Wahsatch lake separated
into two, the time being represented by
some of the most remarkable and colossal
of mammals. Man was still as primitive
as ever, and had probably made but little
advancement in the arts, still defending
himself with implements of stone or wood,
and living in caves rl lrees. The animals
that constituted the me of this tertiary
hunter were remu -. BY the streams
where the foliage provided abundant food
grazed the lo~xolophodon, an animal of
elephantine proportions, armed with fierce
tusks, arranged perhaps in pairs upon its
head, giving it a frightful appearance.
Among the rocks and brush were animals
resembling our cats, wolves, bats, moles
and squirrels, large birds, ostrich, eagles,
snakes and a number of forms prophetic
of those today.
The American hunter Mt this time
chased the elephant, camel and rhinoceros,
or their ancestors. One, the elotherium,
was a hog like creature with short legs,
but as large as an elephant, the head
armed with a pair of extraordinary Iusks
or protruberances. The diieratherium was
a rhinoceros like form, with horns placed
transversely across the mouth. These
strange beasts, owing to their weight and
motions, must nave offered but little re-
sistance to the agile hunters; yet they were
frequently in great danger, and in turn
probably often fell a victim to the gigantic
machairodus, that was a tiger with enor-
nous tusks, like sabers. This monster
could have cut a nan in two at a single
bite, and in all probability was more of n
menace to animal life than the tiger of
today.-C. F. Halder in Philadelphia
Times.

Thus the dude, the dandy, the maca-
roni, the blood, are modern inventions in
literature, although not in real life. AL
though they have blossomed luxuriantly
in all ages, they have left but slight i'm
press upon the literature of the day, and
such CLEANS as we get are but side lights.
Perhaps the earliest dudes of whom we
have any record are the Egyptian and AS
syrian kings, who were prodigiously fond
of carving their own portraits upon walls,
dressed in the most elaborate man MILL
merry of the period, and although the
cuneiform and heiroglyphic records are
scarcely literature, they serve to show
how exceedingly fond Assurbanipal,
Thotmes and their congeners were of
swelling themselves up in the public eye.

One evening a few years & II schoo
dropped anchor in an unknown bay ol ,Hs
east coast of New Guinea. A boat PIT %
from the vessel, landed a man and lis
p-ortmanteau on the beach and put back
again. The schooner at once sailed away,
leaving the solitary figure on the beach in
the darkness. No white man had ever
visited that savage coast before, and no
man inspired by a less lofty purpose
would thus have ventured among the ut
terly unknown savages of Astolabe bay.
The man was Dr.. Miklucho Maclay, the
Russian ethnologist, and his burning zeal
to add to human knowledge led him, like
many other heroes of science, to forgego
all comfort and hazard his life. When the
natives next morning found the white man
sitting on the bench, they Thought the
strange object had dropped from the sky.
They nearly killed him in their expert
ments to determine whether he was u god.
They imprisoned him in a nut and watched
him day and night. They nearly starved
him, because a god should not require
food. They tied him to n tree and shot
arrows close to his head and neck, because,
if he were a god, he should not be fright
ened. Two of the arrows inflicted severe
flesh wounds upon the helpless captive.
Then they pressed their spears against his
teeth to make him open his mouth, and in
many other savage ways sorely tested his
temper, courage and strength.
At last they decided that he had
dropped from the moon and that he was
not a god, because his wounds bled and
he needed food, but they voted him a
good fellow and grew daily more and more
fond of him, because he was ALWAYS cheer
full, however much they annoyed him and
many of their sick soon recovered under
his skillful care. For two years Dr..
Maclay lived among these savages, feeling
amply repaid for all his terrible sacrifices
by the wealth OF scientific facts he was
able to collect. Money could not have
tempted him thus to jeopardize his life
and give up every civilized comfort, but
this facts he gathered were needed to COM
plete his long studies among the races of
the western Pacific, and with the ardor of
the born devotee of science he was eager
to make any sacrifice hat would yield
him the knowledge he sought.-Philadel-
phia Times.

There is more profit in the repairing
department of watch making than there
is in any other trade in the country. I'M
less, possibly, it is plumbing. Take, for
instance, the main spring of a watch.
The general price for replacing one is
anywhere from $3.50 to So. Now, a
main spring to a jeweler costs little
more, all told and set, than 25 cents.
Then there is the ~extravagant price that
is always demanded for cleaning a watch.
Few jewellers ever charge less than $3.50
for such work. The time usually taken
in doing this class of work is not more
than from a half to three-quarters of an
hour. The main spring itself costs on an
average about 8 cents. Then there is an
enormous profit made on watch crystals.
The standard price for them is % cents
each. The jeweler buys them by the
gross or in lesser quantities for 90 cents
per dozen.-Retired Jeweler IN Globe

Attention is being called by DIR. Rose,
of London, an eminent authority on the
subject, to some mistakes concerning de-
odorizers and disinfectants. 1t is simply
useless, he says, to place saucers con-
tanning chloride of lime, carbolic acid,
etc, in a contaminated atmosphere, with
the expectation that the germs floating
about will be caught and killed. The
chlorine doubtless will remove some Of
iensive odors and rapidly diffuse itself
through the room, but to act as a true
disinfectant it must be SO much concen-
trated that the air in the space containing
it would be quite irrespirable by human
beings, though it is, when used ~scientifi-
cally, the best of all disinfectants for
purifying the walls of an empty room.
For deodorizing in sick rooms and pas
sages DR.. Roose thinks euchlorine gas
very efiicient-produced when a few crys-
tails of chlorite of potassium are dropped
into a little h~ydrochloric acid; bromine
is eve more powerful as a disinfectant
than chlorine, and both are far superior
10 sulphurous acid; as to carbolic acid, it
is stated that the spores of the micro-or-
Ganisms discovered in cases Of splenic
rever have been found to be absolutely
Unaffected after lying for upward of three
months in n 5 per cent. solution of car
botic acid in oil.-Philadelphia Record.

If one were disposed to be extremely
analytical he might observe that attached
to this whole system of personal prop
erty and the easy getting of incomes is a
certain snare. The American people
have only within the past twenty years
become generally informed as to the ma
ture of personal property, such as stocks
and bonds and mortgages. Prior to that
time we derived our incomes from real
things, generally real estate, or, what
was almost the same thing, a mans
steady vocation, where his wits and cap
ital visibly worked together at some bust
ness like coach making or brick making.
The tendency of civilization has been to
make real property an annoyance, or any
thing which can interrupt a mans life
who prefers the easy and iRdolent method
of drawing his check, and having a bank
to collect his rents, interest or whatever
is due upon his personal things, which
he keeps in a tin box at a small rental.

The Express Robbery.

New ORLEANS, Nov. l2.-J. Leon
Pounds, who was arrested Saturday at
Covington, La, was arraigned to day
before Commissioner Wright and sent to
prison in default of bail. 1t is stated that
when arrested Pounds had three letters in
his pocket that had been stolen from a
mail pouch at the time OF the train rob.
berry, Nov. 3, on the Northeastern road.
To-day, Cora Ellis, passing as Mrs.
Girard, formerly FROM Tyler, Tex, came
from Covington en- route for Texas. She
had been living with +. L. Bunch, who
committed the train robbery, as his wife.
When she reached this city she was taken
in charge by detectives. Thirteen hun
bred dollars of the stolen money was found
sewed up in her clothing. She finally
confessed that Bunch gave her the money.
The detectives believe they will capture
Bunch within the next forty-eight hours.
Ten thousand three hundred dollars was
all the cash secured by Bunch from the
