An Italian HaiIstOrm.

News has just been received here of
an extraordinary phenomenon which
occurred a few days ago at Villa
franca, in Piedmont. The peasants
were engaged in the fields in taking
in the harvest. when suddenly dull
rolling sound was heard, and thesky
became as back as ink. There was
no thunder or lightning, but a few
hailstones of enormous size fell, some
penetrating into the ground and 9TH
ers rebounding to a distance ofsever-
al yards. This preliminary shower
lasted for some minutes, during which
the peasants crept under the carts
and hayracks in the neighborhood.
Some, however, We're unable to find
shelter, and when the storm was over
they were in pitiable condition,
with blood flowing from their numer.
Gus wounds. A boy oil Is and q girl
of IL had their skulls fractured and
expired a few hours afterward. More
than O hundred persons were badly
hurt. The weight of some of the
monster hailstones is estimated in
the reports at two pounds. Tho
crops have been totally destroyed,
many of the trees have been wrecked,
and the roofs of the houses and cot
tages considerably damaged.-Paris

The Big Raester's Indignation.

A disappointed barn yard fowl is often
as cross as if it could show its temper
after the manner of human beings. The
big dominique rooster was q very good
natured fellow with hens and Young
chickens, and he seldom resented having
kernels OF corn, no matter howsmany,
snatched out from under his. beak. when
it was done in a fair scramble. But if
ne had begun to crow, and a kernel was
unexpectedly dropped where be. certainly
would have got It, had he not been SO
busy, it was too much to see his share
taken away by any other fowl. He fire.
qlently pecked the offender as soon as he
could stop growing and showed general
III temper for a few moments. His in
dignation was so amusing that we fell
anto the habit of teasing him in this way.
until, at last, the old fellow began to
practice choking down the rest Of his
when corn was thrown in front OF
him. Gradually he managed to STOP
more and more quickly, and in the end
he would swallow his voice with a pulp.
and snatch a bit Of food as promptly as
If he had not been growing at all.-Ben-

Russia's Domination in Asia,

A great and motley throng of brown.
lsh Hindoos, dusky Afghans, pallid
Persians and yellow Cinnamon, together
with the vari-hued compilations 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 CAPT.
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 wears
ago postponed, is dwelt upon no less with
interest by the impressionable and
glamour seeking Orientals of Calcutta,
Pekin, Cabul and Teheran than looked
forward to with innate pride and gratif-
cation by the chief parsonage in the cor
onatlon, who thus contemplates the re-
allzation of a longgcherished dream which
has lrradiated the slumbers and gilded
the waking thoughts of the long line of
russian imperial rulers for generations.
NOW the completion of the T~ranscaspian
railroad makes the project easy of execu-
ton, and all Central Asia is agitated
with the coming event. At the corona
ton OF the reigning emperor in Moscow
q few years ago special care was taken
TO insure the presence Of powerful
Asiaties, who We're duly impressed with
the tremendous military display which
they witnessed, and returned to spread
abroad the fame and dread of Russia.
The same effect will be produced in a
marked degree at Samarcand.
While in Turkestan this event win
iestroy the last vestiges of formidable
opposition to Russia's domination, it will
aiso create uneasiness in England, and
wen Germany will view with diseuietude
his extension of Cossack domination
nto Central Asia.-Philadelphia In

Very Peculiar Wedding Rines,

Lieut.. Won Francois, the African ex-
plorer, has recently described a 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 q burden totheir married women,
Brass rods, which are the f~avorite cur
reacy III 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
90. weigh as much as thirty pounds, and
his burden must be carried around bF
the poor women as long as they live,
Frequently" says Lieut.. Won Rran, i
co.'s, "one sees a poor woman whose necll-s
Is raw and sore under the heavy weight
n 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 a time the skin be-
%calloused, and then the strange
ornament produces no abrasion. But
the weight is an inconvenience; thew
never get used to it, and it is a perpetual
tax upon their energies. In every crowd
OF women may be seen a number who are
supporting the ring with their hands,
n thus for q time relieving their weary
shoulders Of the heavy burden. It NAV
be said that with every movement Of
their bodies the rings give them discom-
fort.
"A ring is neyss put around a wo-
mans neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development.
Once on, it is no easy matter to get it off.
The natives have no such thing as a file,
and, though they can hammer a lot of
brass rods into one, it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass Of metal
III two. Women who increase largely
IN flesh after the rings have been fas-
on their necks are in danger of
.strangling to death, and Instances Of this
have been known to occur.
"4et these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine that
1t enhances their Importance and beauty,
and wear the burden with light hearts.

Eeenomical Locomotive Engineers.

You have seen the cotton waste with
which engineers rub up their engines2
Well, that isn't as valuable as gold dust,

it We're. He has a bag in his cab to keep
it in, andsgaen he has used it he puts It

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.

8 cents q day by an economical use Of oil
and waste, that amounts to q pretty

A publio G6daa Robbed.

Charley Smith, 6f The Chester House.
was robbed on Friday night. When
he woke up on Sattifday morning and
proceeded to dress himself, 10 his
pants were gone, further search re-
vealing them in the barroOm with the
pockets riflled. He found also his
vest and watch had disappeared. An
investigation showed that the house
had been entered by a burglar by
forcing the back door of the kitchen,
and that the thief had gone to the
room occupied by Mr.. Smith by the
aid of low light that is kept burning
all night, and got his watch, q valuable
gold one, and the money from the
purse in his pants about SIG, and made
his escape through the barroOm, but
not until he had also gotten several
other articles of clothing, the overcoat
of Mr.. Collins the bartender, and a
bottle of whiskey. Mr.. Smith heard
the noise in the exit, but thought it
was his wife stirring about as the light
was burning, and Immediately went to
sleep again. The watch had attached
| to it valuable Masonic charm which
cost $40. This with the chain to which
it was fastened was detached and left
behind, which caused some to remark
that the thief had wonderful regard
for an emblem because it was such,
since it and the chain were both solid
gold. His name was engraved on the
watch as we'll as the charm. Mr..
Smiths loss was rising $3.50. There is
no clue to the thief that we have heard
of. This house is not on the beat OF
the patrolman.

is no reason in the world why they
should not make it a success. There
is certain amount of business to be
done in our town, and when there are
changes, it is gratifying to see young
men who have been raised in the town
fill them. If they are not taken by
our own people they will be by strang-
ers who have not the same interest in
our public affairs as persons who have
been all the time identified with the
community. Mr.. Willumsen will re-

Ministerial.

Rev. DIR. VIM. S. Robinson, win
preach in the Methodist church next
Sunday morning. Presiding Elder
France will have charge of the service
in the evening. The Praise service
instituted by the Society of Christian
EndeavOr which has preceded the reg
ular worship for some weeks past will
occupy the first part of the meeting,
after which there will be addresses BY
both the aboye named gentlemen.
This will be the last appearance of DIR.
Robinson before the congregation, as
he expects to leave with his family
for Watertown, South Dakota, the fol-
lowing week, and in a certain sense
this will be his farewell address.
The question of the new pastor and
who will he be, is one that very nat
urally greatly interests the congrega-
ton. Presiding Elder France Gays
that the question will not be long un-
solved, and that he expects a satisfac-
tory appointment will be made in the
next week or two.
