Kennio A. Grandstaii, the foreman of
this office, Is one of the best byoiole riders
in the Valley. lie has won several prizes
in races on the track at the Fair Grounds
here. On Thursday Of last week he
slipped down to Winchester where the
Fair was in progress, and entered for the
bycicle race. He won easily, carrying of
the first prize, handsome cyclometer.-
We don't think the Winchester felix's were
perfectly charmed to see a Shenandoah
boy carry OH the prize from the Frederick
county boys, but then it was fair, you
know, aud, like the old woman when she
died, they had to be resigned.

snnccllnr Precious Nstoncs.

One Of the favorite places wherein to
hide precious stones arc in the small tele-
scopes used il connection with the mas
ter's sc. stant. Tic glasses arc unscrcwed,
stones packed securely in the cylinders
and everything replaced. But few GUS
toms oiiicials would ventlire to trouble
valuable scientific instrument.
Another method is 10 have malacca
stick bored out, through the wonderfully
skilled hands Of Chinese mechanic. The
space is then filed in with precious stones
packed III cotton, the joint replaced and
detection is almost impossible. 1 will
show you boot heel made Of iron, to
which is attached an iron clamp. Tho
leather heel is removed, then the iron
one, filed with diamonds, is secured to
tho clamp. 1t is an old trick, but might
have passed muster, except that tho
smugg7cr's courage failed and his ner-
vol,snes,. bet-a-ed him. The government

What cicorettes Arc nIado of.

For some time past The Chicago
Journal and Tho Evening News have
been waging vigorous warfare against
cigarettes. Tho Journal has printed
series of articles showing the largo
numbcr.of cigarettes that were sold by
small shoplzecpers TO the public school
pupils, and has had interviews with
tho principals of the various schools
and with physicians, showing tho ex-
,cnt and injury of tho cigarette prac-
tico among young boys. The News
has been Investigating the compost
ton and effect of cigarettes generally:
With this end in view a number Of
packages Of each brand commonly
used wcro purchased and stripped Of
the boxes, cards and every distinguish
ing mark Each kind was put into q
pastcboard box, tho lid Of which was
inscribed with letter. These were
taken for analysis to Professor Dela-
fontaine, well known chemist.
He found that the cigarettes he
tested were generally made of to-
bacco "imperfectly fermented," which
means that an unusually large amount
of nicotine was present in them. Ho
found that nearly all had an unnatural
proportion Of insoluble ash, that sew
eral kinds were stepped in an injurious
substance, and were impregnated with
dirt in varying proportions. New

Raisins Oh tho Pacific Coast.

Tho raisin industry of the Pacific
coast is growing rapidly, and grape
raising Is, as consequence, profitable.
A vineyard of good average bearing
will yield six tons of grapes to the
acre, with a value of $40 ton on the
vines, or $120 an acre. Older vine
yards produce from eight to ten tons,
and the fruit brings higher price
than the product of younger vines, as
it is better adapted to the larger or
bunch styles of high priced raisins.
Thus a forty acre vineyard in full
bearing at SIX years 81. age would fur
$4,000 Labor, however, is very high,
and growers have found it difficult to
obtain full complement of hands to
cure crop needing such prompt atten-
ton. This difficulty will be lessened
as newcomers thickcn. California
produces in quantities only the raisips
that compete with tho famous Malaga
varieties. Tho Pacific raisin crop of
1888 is expected to approximate ,OOO,-
600 boxes. Some Of this has gone
abroad, owing to the small crops Of
Malaga this year, and tho latter fact
will help to distribute the domestic
crop through this country.-Leslie's

Study Hours for Children.

According to DR.. Newell. '.for children
of 10 or IL years tho capacity for bright
and voluntary attention is exhausted by
four varied lessons requiring mental ef-
fort of half an hour each, with intervals
of relief in the forenoon. In the afternoon
this capacity Is reduced one-half. Two
hours in tho forenoon and one hour in
tho afternoon is as long time as chill
dren can bo proftably employed in
school,"
DIR. Chancellor supports this view, and
Gdvocates eighteen hours week as the
limit for school children Under H.
Baginskey, author of n German work on
school hygiene, takes the same view, and
in demonstration Of its effectiveness it is
alleged that half time pupils in the
English schools learn as much as the chill
drcn who are in school the full number
Of hours.-Halps Journal of Health.

Low LILO Russians in Paris.

Nomadic Russians, with beetline
eyebrows, shaggy hair and general =
greasy appearance, may sometimes he
seen wandering in droves along the
brilliant boulevards. They look like
peasants or Moujiks out of the dramatic
adaptations in French of the works of
the Russian realists. You are often
surprised to see these children of the
snow and the steppes SO far away from
home, and are apt to wonder at their
business In the most expensive city in
the world. Some interesting particu-
lars, however, have just been pub
ished respecting the low life member
of the large Russian colony in Paris In
connection with the registration OF
foreigners W....n now taking place
at the prefecture of police. They fore
gather, it seems, in the Latin quarter,
where they hayea kind ofpoGtical pope,
or PATRIARCH in the person of Peter
Lavrof, an Old nihilist, who has been
expelled from Russia. His room in
the Rue Saint Jacques is piled from
floor to ceiling with books. This place
Is the rendezvous Of the male and fe-
male students of Russian nationality.
who are attending lectures in the Paris
medlca! schools, and they delight in
NiSStSoihS polCiSS, IlSTdIuTe, U1cfO-
cine and mathematics with their pa
an eventful career. He was born at
Pskof in 1923, and went through q
course of studies in the Russian school
Of artillery, in which he succeeded
Ostrogradslsy in the PROFESSIONAL chair.
In 1866 he was arrested in connection
with the Karakosof affair, and was
imprisoned, but escaped in 1870 After
having lived in Switzerland and Eng
gland he came to Paris in 1877, and is
now busy with tremendous
treatise on modern thought. All
the students and refugees gath
cred round Lavrof, work hard
at teaching, translating and copy
ing in order to support themselves
while in Paris, and nearly every ono
OF them has a severe struggle in order
to make both ends meet. There is
also o large colony Of Russian and
Polish students who attend the lee
lures, but who depend to a great ex-
tent on tho" assistance given to them
by the Alliance Israelite. Most of
the poorest students, male and female,
live in community in an establish. !
ment in the Rue Flatters, where there
are separate dormitories for the sexes
and a common room for study. They
take their meals in kind of co-opera-
tive restaurant in the Avenue des
Gobelins, where they act as their own |
cashiers, cooks and walters Tho |
prices of the meals are reduced to the |
figure, only horsehesh being |
consumed, with cheap bread, vege-
tables and tea or coffee, wine being as
rigidly excluded from the repasts as if |

bers of tho Blue Ribbon movement

Wherever DOGS run wild, rs in Aus

Of the characteristics of wolves. They
have similar habit Of hunting in
packs. The people of Assam tell won
derful stories Of tho cunning and sa-
Cacity Of There wild hounds when in
pursuit Of gamc.
They say that when pack goes out
to hunt, an old dog goes III front and
searches for fresh scent Of deer.
Having found this, he starts oil alone,
and when ho has ascertaincd the
whereabouts Of the quarry returns to
the pack, which he then disposcs in n
circle of q milo in diameter round it;
each member Of tho pack has q part
allotted to him.

uygicnic Aspects of Hypnotism.

Upon the hygienic side wo find the
discussion of the prohibition of public
hypnotic performances. The Academy
of Medicine of Belgium held long
discussion upon tho question, and
finally voted to recommend law
abolishing it. The chief advocate in
favor of the exhibitions was M. Del
boeuf. Belgium thus follows tho
action of Austria, Italy, Denmark,
Germany and most of the Swiss can
tons. The people have been strongly
impressed with tho dangers Of an un-
skilled use Of hypnotism, and healthy
sentiment to have it restricted to eX-
perts prevails. At tho last session of
the French Association for tho Ad-
vancement Of Science, NJ. Berillon in
troduced similar measure, and it was
voted as the sentiment of tho section
of hygiene and public medicine that
all public exhibitions Of hypnotism
should be legally prohibited in France.
