Russia's Domination An Asia.

A great and motley throng of brown
ish Hindoos, dusky Afghans, pallid
Persians and yellow Cinnamon, together
with the vri-hued complexions Of the
nomad tribes and minor nationalities Of
Central Asia, is preparing for the pic
turesque pomp and ceremonials of coro-
nation at Samarcand, the historical capi-
tai Of Tamerlane, OF the great white car
of Russia, who will henceforth become
also emperor Of Central Asia.
This great forthcoming event, which
the activity Of the Nihilists three years
ago postponed, is dwelt upon no less with
interest by the impressionable and
glamour seeking orientals OF Calcutta,
Pekin, Cabul and Tebernn than looked
forward to with innate pride and gratih-
cation by the chief parsonage in the cor
onation, who thus contemplates the re-
alizaiion of long cherished dream which
has irradiated the slumbCrs and gilded

Russian imperial rulers for generations
Now the completion Of the nrlnscaspian

Canned Fruits and Vegetables.

Many fruits and vegetables, being
Theoretically sealed while they are fresh
from the vines at the point of supply, are
fresher, more wholesome and palatable
than the Sd called fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles exposed for sale for considerable
periods Of time in city and village
markcts-a fact not generally understood
or appreciated. Our best packers now
insist that these articles shall be picked
in the morning while the dew is ON them,
and brought TO the factories in the highest
state Of perfection, and it is safe to say
that in all well ordered factories cleaner
and more tidy methods are employed in
the systematic preparation OF canned
goods than In the average home kitchen.

Billings Special, Oct. S: The sounds
of pistol shots in the southern portion
Of our usually quiet town alarmed our
citizens this morning about s o'clock,
and the spectacle OF u man running
bare headed up the street toward the
Jail induced several men to run TO the
dwelling Of Peter Klehr, whence the
sounds proceeded, where they found
Jos. McCiregor bathed in his own
blood, which was pouring from two
bullet wounds inflicted by the lealous
and enraged klehr, who had by this
time given himself up to the authori-
ties. McGregor had been suspected
for some time past OF undue intimacy
with Mrs. Klehr by ber husband, and
the latter, a short time ago, went to
Livingston and procured employment
sending money from time to time for
the support Of his family, and endeav.
oring to induce his wife to join him at
that place, hoping thus to silence the
tongue Of scandal and break up the
unhappy condition of affairs. Last
night, unsatisfied with many dissp
pointments, Mr.. Klehr returned uneX-
pectedly from Livingston, and find
ing McGregor in his house opened
upon him with a fusilade Of shots, do
ing no dsmsge, but compelling the
intruder 10 retire from the premises.
This morning when McGregor re-
turned for his effects, he was greeted
by three shots from IA" before he
could use his own weapon, two
which took effect, one striking him in
the nose aud ranging downward,
lodging In the jaw bone. The other
entered the left arm above the elbow,
and has not been located yet. The
victim is seriously wounded, and may
not recover. Klehr will be examined
In justice court tomorrow.

Very Peculiar Wedding RinsHl

Lieut.. yon Francois, the African ex-
plorer, has recently described strange
custom among the Bayanzi, who live for
many miles along the Upper Congo. The
custom would seem to make life a good
deal Of burden to their married women.
Brass rods, which are the favorite cur
rency in the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks of the
wives. Many of these rings worn by
the women, whose husbands are well TO
do. weigh as much as thirty pounds, and
this burden must be carried around by
the poor women as long as they live
Frequently" says Lieut.. Won Fran
co.'s, zone sees poor woman whose neck
is raw and sore under the heavy weight,
and in places the skin is rubbed off by
the ring. This is "a sure sign that the
ring has been recently welded around
her neck, for after time the skin be-
comes calloused, and then the strange
ornament produces no abrasion. But
the weight is an Inconvenience; they
never get used 10 il, and it is a perpetual
tax upon their energies. In every crowd
Of women may be seen number who are
supporting the ring with their hands,
and thus for a time relieving their weary
shoulders of the heavy burGen. 1t may
be said that with every movement of
their bodies the rings give them discou-
fort.
"A ring is never put around wo.
mans neck until she is believed 10 have
attained her full physical development.
Once on, it is no easy matter to get it of.
The natives have no such thing as file,
and, though they can hammer a lot of
brass rods into one. il is very difficult
for them TO cut the thick mass Of metal
in two. Women who increase largely
in flesh after the rings have been fas-
tened on their necks are in danger OF
strangling to death, and instances of this
sort have been known 10 occur.
"Net these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine thai
il enhances their importance and beauty
and wear the burden with light hearts
Brass Is the money Of the country, anC
by putting 1t around their wives neck
the men are pretty certain that it won

slippers for the Children.

In one of the cantons Of Switzerland
the public educational authorities cele-
brate the approach of the wet season by
providing each of their young scholars
with pair Of slippers, which the chill
dren bring with them in the morning
and wear indoors during the day, while
their damp boots are being dried at the
fire. Thus the chances Of their catching
cold are reduced to minimum, and the
result is, Of course. greater comfort for
the young ,ers, much relief from anxiety
on the part of their parents, and, it may
be assumed, a corresponding regularity
in school attendance. Some day poor
old England may see its way to taking a

The Amount Of Water Power.

The American Statistical association
publishes some interesting figures on the
amount Of water power employed in tho
United States. In 1880 there was total
water power equal TO l,225.379 horse
power used for manufacturing purposes,
this being S5.9 per cent. of the total
power thus employed in the states. The
annual value OF the water power thus
utilized is set down at s2t. 900, 900. The
New England states alone use $40 per
cent. Of the whole water power Of the
country, and altogether tho Atlantis
states use over three-fourths Of the whole.

Economical Locomotive Engineers.

"You have seen the cotton waste with
which engineers rub up their enginesl
Well, that isn't as valuable as gold dust,
but every engineer is as careful of it as if
ii were. lie has bag in his cab to keep
it in, and when he has used it he puts it
back in the bag with as much pains as
an old lady would use with her quilt
pieces. Quite the natural thing for him
to do, you say; but there's where you
are wrong. Unless men are trained TO
be careful about these things the natural
way seems to be to throw away or other
wise lose more than they save. Now,
suppose every engineer on the road saves

and waste, that amounts TO a pretty
penny when you reckon on the thou
