Enormous Ropes Of Women's Hair.

Speaking before a meeting OF the
Methodist ministers, Bishop Fowler
told of a new heather temple in the
northern part of Japan. 1t was OF
enormous size, and the timbers for
the temple from their mountain
homes were hauled up to the temple
and put in place by ropes made
from the hair of the women OF the
province. An edict went forth call
ing for the long hair of the PROV
| ince, and two ropes were made from
these tresses-one II inches IN CIR.
cumference and 14O0 feet long and
the other 10 to II inches around
and 1900 feet long.-Minneapolli

superstition Of Omcs-Seekers.

There is q good deal of supersti-
ton in connection with office e-seek-
ing. One of the most energetic and
strongly endorsed office-seekers car
ries q rabbit foot in his pocket. He
calls it graveyard rabbit foot .
1t is an ordinary "cottontail's" foot,
of light gray color, and around it ia
tied a pretty pink ribbon. This
man is strong of mind and young
of years, yet he declares that If he
were to lose this rabbit foot be
would not achieve success in hit
ambition.-Indianapolis Journal.

THE LIBEL RIFLE.

Wonderful reports continue to be
heard regarding the results to be
obtained by the use of the new mys-
terious frearm of the French Army,
the Lebel rifle. This weapon is now
being manufactured at the rate of
1000 a day, and up to September
of last year $4,000 had been de-
livered, but not one had been ac-
cepted till 5000 cartridges were
ready for it. In general appearance,
says the Utica Observer, the Lebel
rifle resembles a Hotchkiss repeat
ing arm, such as in use in the .. S.
Navy, in all but the barrel arrange
ment. The magazine of the Lebel
is under the barrel; in the case of
the Hotchkiss it is in the stock.
The Lebel carries eight cartridges
in it's magazine, the Hotchkiss sew
en- cartridges. The Lebel's total
weight is a trif1e over nine and q
half pounds. Its calibre is little
less than one-eighth of an inch.
The bullet is about four times its
diameter in length, and is coated
with nickel. The powder used is
not the ordinary black kind, but
secret compound of smokeless ma
ture, which has as its principal in
gradients gun-cotton and collodion.
The powder creates but little noise
on explosion, and gives only slight
recoil. So far the only objections
which have been raised against the
new compound is the sitting stencil
it causes. This is said to be little
short of suffocating in its effect
when a battalion is firing on COM
paratively still day. What the effect
would be on troops firing from
houses and behind barricades can
be in measure imagined.
Some of the results achieved by
this instrument are very surprising
At a distance of 1O7 yards the bullet
is said to pass through plate OF
iron nearly half an inch thick,
while at 220 yards distance it will
pierce over fifteen inches of solid
oak. The Lebel rifle and the old
Gras rifle were lately tested togeth'
er-one company Of infantry being
armed with Lebel and the other with
the Gras. At 437 yards the former
made 18O hits out of a possible 200
and the latter only so. The las1
and most marvellous shot made
with this arm is that of Lieutenant
Maltese of the marines, who useo
as target a 5-franc piece at dis
tance of 21S yards. He struck it il
the center and transformed it int
silver ring. The wound which
this rifle makes is said to be very
!, difficult to cure, for the reason
that the lead forms in small points
on the surface of the bullet, ant
these remain in the wound, great.
complicating its treatment. 10 g

Peculiarities Of Painters.

Protogenes, the Greek painter,
was an impatient man. In paint
ing a picture of tired, painting dog
he met with satisfactory success,
except that he failed in every at
tempt to initiate the foam that
should have been seen on the dogs
mouth. He was so much provoked
over it that he seized the sponge
with which he cleansed his brushes
and threw it against the picture,
with the intention of spelling it.
It happened to strike on the dogs
mouth, and produced, to the as
tonishment and delight of the
painter, the very effect that he had
iabored so persistently to initiate
Paul Veronese, like many other
painters, was given to eccentric
moods and odd habits. On one oc'
casion he accepted the hospitality
of family at their beautiful coun
trv villa, He assumed great liber
ties during his visit, claiming aoso
lutte possession of his room, allow
ing not even a servant to enter. H<

the room the servant found tn
sheets of the bed missing, and a

CHICAGO, July 29.-The storm which
swept across the prairies and struck Chi
cago Saturday night was withouta a paral-
lei in the history Of this section of the
country. The records Of the local Sig
nal Service show nothing approaching
the nights deluge. From $3.50 to $3.50
12-100 inches of rain fell. Without
going into figures it may be stated that
the volume of water which fell inside Of
the city limits would make lake ON
which could be foated the great.
est navy in the world. 1t is i'm
possible toestimatc the damage with any
degree of accuracy. Hardly a house in
the city escaped the fury of the storm.
Buildings were blown down, easements
flooded, plate-glass windows shattered
and valuable shade trees uprootcd or
broken by the fury of the gale. 1t is
safe to say that the loss will reach into
the hundreds of thousands. A brick
building in the course of construction at
the northeast corner of Oakley avenue
and Twenty-frst street, not far
from the Leavltt street disaster, was
blown down, during the storm, on
cottage in the rear, but fortunately
none of the occupants were killed.
The families of w. II. Keefe, the owner
of the building, and John Hayes occu-
pied the cottage. The only person seri-
ously hurt was q little girl of twelve
years, who received a cut two inches
long across the side of her head, and a
boy whose spine was injured. Neither
of the wounds is necessarily fatal. Four
unfinished brick houses at Rockwell
and Sixteenth streets were blown down
last night while the storm was at its
height. The houses are wrecked COM
pletely, nothing but the foundations re-
naming. Several lake vessels we're

CINCINNATI, July 29.-The mystery
that surrounded the disappearance Of
Colonel A. Z. Jones, M. D., Of Walnut
Hills, on last Thursday, was dissolved
on Saturday, by the finding Of the mutt
lated body in the manhole Of sewer o
couple Of squares from his residence.
Colonel Jones who was surgeon
on the staff Of General Foraker,
was murdered by his colored servant,
Charles Blythe, who was arrested Sat
urdsy evening in Madisonville. Blythe
confesses, his explanation being that he
and the Colonel quarreled and that the
blow that killed the Colonel was deliv-
cred in return for the one aimed by
Jones at him (Blythe). The prisoner,
however, would not explain why the
Colonel watch and money were missing.
Yesterday morning upon closely
questioning the prisoner 1t was discov-
cred that he had taken the watch, which
was pawned for ten dollars in Sixth
street pawn shop. The prisoner also
admitted that he took one dollar from
the Coloners pockets. Arrangements
have been completed for military fu-
neral tomorrow. The dead man was
over seventy years Of age. The remains
when found were enveloped in sack.
