 Death has just removed an aged man in North Shields, England, though he bore upon his breast the coveted emblem of the Victoria Cross, was getting his living by sweeping the rosdwsys as servant of the Tyne corporation. Edward Jennings was the name of this distinguished scavenger, who was seventy-four years old. An Irish- man by birth, he entered the service of the "John Company" at the age of sixteen, and was with the British army that entered Ca- bull in 1889. The first engagement in which he fought was that of Ghuzni, where he re- ceived medal. He also took part in the capture of Delhi during the great mutiny, and in the relief of Lucknow, and the sav- ing of Agra from the mutineers, as we'll as in severe engagement at Cawnpore under Sir Colin Campbell. According to report, it was during the siege of Lucknow that Jen- nirgs, accompanied by half dozen of his troop, was one day intrusted with the con- veyance of dispatch to 0 Captain Renning- ton. On the return journey the attention of the party was arrested by the cries of Flu ropean. Jennings at ones volunteered to go in quest the others remaining on the look out. A high wall had to be surmounted; then the horseman galloped along 8 narrow street, at the end of which he discovered a British officer standing with his back against a wall, bayonet in hand, endeavoring to keep at bay small host of excited natives, armed with short swords. The trooper shouted, in the vernacular, ''They are coming" on hear- ing which the horde broke and scattered, not before, however, the Irish private had cut down at least half dozen. The ground thus cleared, Jennings dismounted and at tended to the wants of his superior, whom he found bleeding freely from several sabre wounds and gunshot wound, the most seri- ous, on the hip. The trooper had with him some rum, which he administered, and then put the well-nigh exhausted lieutenant on his own beast, and, safely emerging, deposit ted his charge at the general hospital. It is stated that it was in return for this act that Sir Colin Campbell recommended him for the Victoria cross. Unfortunately, the fact that Jennings could neither read nor write Hss a fatal bar to his obtaining g commission.

on the knees of two magnificent grandees on the Shah's entry into St. Petersburg.

According to the Philadelphia Record, a year of high license in Philadelphia 'shas reduced drunkenness one-half, has abolished the dangerous and debasing dive, has practi- cally wiped out liquor selling on Sunday, and has added $534, 460 to the city treasury. ;, The counsel of the Law and Order society of the city is an official whose testimony in ref erence to the value of the policy ought to be of weight. He is quoted as asserting that "there is less than one-half the drunkenness in the oity now that there was before the high license law went into effect." High license has killed them all. To-day, says the Record, one can walk through the streets on which they were thickest and he will not find "even the sembIanoe of such place." Fourteen months ago the saloons were open all over the city on Sunday, while now Sunday in Philadelphia is practically day of prohibition except for those who pur- chase supply on Saturday to keep in their houses until Monday" In 1887 $, ,773 licensed saloons, and perhaps 1000 unlicensed, were engaged in business. Now the number of licensed saloons is only 1,205, and the pro- prietors of these places are prompted by self interest to see to 1t that there is no selling without license. An examination of the court record shows that police arrests for all sorts of crimes have been reduced forty per cent. during the year, and the commitments to the house of correction fifty per cent Such facts as these are worth any amount of ar- QUment

to hold the gut in place, and on the top edge these are counter sunk to save the strings from possible contact with the ground when in use. To enable the wood to take high polish the grain is next filled and seven coats of best shellao are applied, after which the racquet is rubbed down with pumice. The final polishing is done by hand a French polish being used on all the finer grades.
 The next step is one of the most import ant in the construction of the racquet. It is the stringing, and In this two twenty-foot pieces of gut are used. One is run length ways, and the other at right angles to the first. This second string, by the way, is run lover and under" the first, and by so doing the mesh is formed. It is very es- sential that the stringing should be as tight as possible. In the factory visited the skilled workman could perform this part of the work on twenty. ordinary racquets daily. But the stringing of six pieces of the Amer ican Tate is considered @ days work. To remove the little rough ends of the strings an alcohol flame is employed, and then the strings are oiled and shellacked. This treat ment adds materially to the general finished appearance, and also serves as @ protection from weather changes. The strings come in two colors, red and white, and are used as may be desired. By slightly roughenlng the cedar handles frmer grip is obtainaole to the player. Last small wooden or leather knot is affixed to the end of the handle to prevent slipping, and the racket is ready for shipping.

We found one of these ichneumon eoooens in the middle cell of Ceratina nest. Only one of the mature bees was found In the tunnel be- low the cocoon, and had it's head pointed downward; thus telling as plainly as words could have told, that, disgusted with the creature it found obstructing its upward pathway, it had turned about with firm intention to dig out by way of, China or die in the attempt.

 NOT EFF TO WEAR.
 savages do mos Appreciate the Newspa-
 per as an Educator.
 LFrom the New York sunl
 When the savage people first come in con- tact with the whites, none of the wonders that they see is regarded with more suspic- ion than large sheets of paper. The native is apt to regard paper as sort of cloth and the fact that it tears easily and is worthless for most of the purposes to which cloth is put couvinces him that 1t is a fraud. One or two Congo travellers have told of the dis gust with which the natives at first regarded paper. The Congo tribes, by the way, are on the lookout for sharpers and it Is pretty hard work for anybody to sell them bad quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages soon find, however, that paper is not intended to serve the purposes of cloth. Then they cease to look upon 1t as fraud, but they do not think it ranks high among white mans manufactures and they have little use for it.
 A while ago MT. Lumholtz was travelling ia the interior of Queensland, Australia, where he met many natives who had never seen a white man before. One day a crowd of natives were in the white mans camp carefully inspecting the explorer and his baggage, when a newspaper happened to drop out of his pocket. The natives unfold ed it and spread it out on the ground. They decided that it must be an article of wearing apparel and one of them tried 1t on. He wrapped it around his shoulders like shawl and sat down on the ground, arranging his covering this way and that and watching the faces of the crowd to see what they thought of his elegant garment, covered as it was with many thousands of curious marks.
 Presently, however, an accident happened. While the savage was rearranging his shawl and trying to bring the corners together in front of him the garment began to tear at the nap of his neck. A howl from the crowd called attention to the disaster. The blank ct, or whatever it was, was evidently made of the poorest sort of material. The savage took his covering off, examined the mischief he had wrought, made the tear 8 little longer and then with his finger poked a hole through the paper. That settled the fact that the article was worthless The news paper suddenly lost all interest for the na- tives who turned their attention to less des- tructible objects.

AN INTERPRETING APPEAL.

Woman is doing good deal nowadays to make things interesting. One of her latest and most notable outoroppings is an appeal against female suffrage, published in the Nineteenth Century. This appeal is signed by a number of distinguished women, among them Mrs. Humphry Ward, Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. Huxley, Mrs. Goschen, Mrs. Matthew Arnold, Lady Frederick Cavendish, Mrs. Max Muller and others. This appeal Is called forth by the movement which is on foot in England to secure by act of parlia- ment political equality with man, at least in the cases of spinsters and of wives holding property in their own names.
 These women argue that women are dis qualified physically, or by custom based on sex, for debates and legislation, the army and navy, and for entering into the affairs of finance, commerce, shipping railroads, mines, etc. And while 1t is true that they are af~ fected to some extent by all these things, it is also true that they possess some political influence. The latter they exert, according to the appeal, in full proportion to their abil ity to participate In the former. They have now votes with respect to schools and boards
 
 equally interested with men. This is just, but it is enough so far as the question of right is concerned. Whatever rests on force should be left to men. It is further urged that women are fercer partlsans than men, and would aggravate situation which calls for moderation. They serve now rather as 8 ! check, but with suffrage the effect of their ] influence would be reversed. Their moral qualities would be blunted and women of l loose character would come unduly to the front.
 One of the strongest reasons why women ! should not bs given the right to vote is that | they don't want it. In England, as in this \ country, some women are trying to persuade l the others that they ought to want to vote, but it is slow and discouraging work. If women enough had wanted to vote they would have had the right long before this, at | least in this country

CAUSES OF FIRE.
New Observation on the Subject of
 Spontaneous Combustion.


 In regard to spontaneous combustion, the fires of the year in Boston have furnished some new observations of considerable inn portanoe. In one case quantity of feather dust in a bedding manufactory took fire without apparent reason. It was found, however, that piece of thick glass had been lying on the feathers, and the suns rays, concentrated in some way by the glass, had set fire to them although the day was a cold one in the month of March.
 In another case & number of tarpaulin hats were lying stacked together in a win dow. The high temperature, with, perhaps, the close packing of the hats, caused them to burst into blaze. Two other fires were caused by putting parafine paper, such as candy is wrapped in, into refuse barrel which contained little sawdust; and a third, which destroyed $20,0 900 worth of property, was occasioned by putting greasy paper, which had been used to wrap lunches in, into wooden refuse barrel, which con- tained seme sawdrst and sweepinss.

Many can remember when women had not college their own and only Oberlin opened her doors to equal and co-education. And that opening raised tempestuous opposition and war of indignation. Now, says Kate Stevens, women have more than 200 colleges where they can matriculste and carry off honors, and there are 1, 1000 women in attend ance. Among these institutions are several State universities, besides Cornell, and How ard, and Columbia, and a half dozen owned and occupied by women.

A notable figure among the numerous dig- nitaries and officials in the suite.of the Shah of Persia is a young boy of 12, whom the Shah has covered with titles and who is an object of envy and fear to most of his Mejes- tvs ministers. His name is Goolaznai Khan. He is the director of the corps of royal pages and one of his titles Is Azizus-Sultsn, "Fa- vorite of the Monarch Neither minister, vizier nor royal prince has ever yet been al lowed to sit at the Shah's table, but Goola- mali Khan is an exception to this law of the Persians. He is constantly by his masters side and has more servants to wait upon him than any two of the royal ministers. The explanation of this extraordinary treatment is to be found in the Persian monareh's con- viction that his life is insepsrabIy and mys- teriously bound up with that of Goolsmali Khan and that wise men have foretold that the Shah's death will be preceded only few days by that of his young favorite; that the health and prosperity of the latter will mean the health and prosperity of the former, and that generally whatever befalls this little one will also happen to his royal protector. This belief has resulted in the boys leading life of ease and luxury unknown to the most for- tunate courtiers in Teheran. He was seated
