shooting attracted the villagers and an attempt

The Ignorance of Russian Police.

From an article by George KEENAN, in the
April Century we quote the following We
heard many funny stories from the political
exiles in Siberia with regard to the ignorance
shown and the mistakes made by the rural
police in dealing with supposed revolutionists.
Four or five years ago, just after the asSassina-
ton of the gendarme officer Sudeikin $500 day
i-kinl by the terrorist Degaief (Deegy- yeff J.
photographs of Degaief were sent to every police
Office in the Empire. On the back was printed
an offer of 10000 rubles' reward for the capture
of the assassin, and on the face were printed
six photographs of Degaief showing how he
looked in cap and without cap; with full
beard and without full beard and with a
mustache and without mustache. A hard
drinking and ignorant police officer in village
of Western Siberia into whose hands copy of
this card fell, arrested four unlucky waylarers
Who happened to look more or less like the
photographs of Degaief and committed them
TO jail then he went about the village and to
the dram-shOp, in half-tipsy condition. boast
ing that he had captured four of those accuTsed
Degaiefs, and was going to hold them until he
could find the other two, so that he could turn
the six together over 10 the higher authorities.
He had no doubt that he would get not only
the 10000 rubles reward, but cross of honor.
Another police officer, equally ignorant,
arrested a scientific man, a member Of the I'M
perial Geographical Society, who had gone into
the country to pursue his favorite study of
ornithology. The unfortunate naturalist was
accustomed to note down every day the names
of the birds of which he had secured specimens,
and the sagacious police officer, in looking over
his prisoners diary, found on almost every page
such entries as June I3-killed a fine crown
snipe this afternoon or June 17-shot silUia
horteasis to-day Regarding these entries as
unmistakable records in cipher of nihilistic
murders, the officer sent the captured ornithol-
ogist under strong guard to the chief of police
of the district with the notebook as docu-
mentary proof that the prisoner was one of the
most desperate and bloodthirsty of the terrorist
assassns; the entry with regard to crown
snipe he said was plainly reference to the
most august family of the Gossudar."

SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

"A very good and simple way to remove the
glare OF ineandeseent lights is to coat the globe
with thin film of collodion The coat should be-
of course of uniform thickness. The collodion ca,
be easily washed off with water and it softens the
light and absorbs but small portion of its bril-
liancy. Notizbatt of Germany, recommends a
solution of salt, the crystals producing very at.
tractive diffusion of the light. solution of salts
OF lead and tin is used in Berlin.
A chemist gives the following recipe of the
solution used in the hand-grenade fire-extnguish-
ers Take 20 grains of common salt and 10 pounds
of salammoniac and dissolve in seven gallons of
water. When fully dissolved it can be bottled and
in use should be thrown forcibly at the fire. SO as
to break the glass and scatter the solution.
A physician at Wooster, o., has succeeded in APP
parently curing pronounced case Encyclopaedia
by a strictly scientific treatment. He reasoned
that the disease is ofthe nerves. and the action
of the poison self-limiting, so he exerted himself
to keep his patient--a healthy boy-alive, until
the virus had spent its force The sensitiveness of
the nerves was blunted by large doses of aeonite
heavy doses of choral were given to induce sleep,
and the fermentive action of the poison was coun-
teracted by salicylic acid. Tie results were soon
satisfactory. The violent paroxysms became less
frequent and terrible, and in week disappeared
almost wholly. The boy is now very weak, and
paralyzed below the knees, but Is gradually grow
ing better and is expected soon to be all right His
mind does not appear to have been affected by the
ordeal through which he has passed.

The joke on the Joker.
[ Youth's Compdnion.l


4 laughable but rather embarrassing case of
mistaken identity occurred the other day III
one of Boston's largest retail stores. A gentle
man who is little too fond of joking, entered
the store for the purpose of meeting his wife at
certain coauter. Sure enough, there stood q
lady we'll dressed to his eye, at least, just like
the woman he was after.
Her back was turned, and no one was near
her; so he quietly approached, took her by the
arm, and said in voice of simulated severity
Well, here you are spending my money as
usual, Ell 2"
The face turned quickly toward him was not
his wife's; it was that of an acrid, angry, keen
eyed woman of about so years, who attracted
the attention of everybody in that part of the
store by saying, in a loud. shrill, voice:
mo, amt spending your money or no other
mans money, and I'll -"
g. beg your pardon, madam" cried the con-
fused gentleman, Il supposed you were my
wife, and -"
"Well, just amt your wife, nor no other
mans wife, thank fortune, to be jawed at every
time buy yard of ribbon pity your wife
if you go round shaking her like you did me.
If was her, I'd -"
The ehagrined joker waited to hear no more,
but made his way out of the shope amid the
filters and sly chuckles of those who had wit
messed his confusion.

When they reached Folkestone she announced
her intention of returning.
You can't" said Langton, decisiyely. You
must go on now.
"But he may never come" said the widow
almost sobbing.
Possibly not, but to go back now would
make you look ridiculous"
This settled it, and she meekly obeyed. In
fact she felt in such frame of mind that she
was glad to resign herself into his hands. They
scarcely spoke again before reaching Paris, but
during the journey Langton was so unobtru-
siyely attentive and considerate that more than
once Mrs. Silverton wished that she had con-
sented to elope with him instead of with his
rival. At Paris he took her to her friends
house, and himself repaired to the Grand
promising to stay few days and await the
course of events. They were not long kept in
suspense. A letter arrived for Mrs. Silverton
which caused her to send at once for John
Langton. He found her bathed in tears.
=" Read ths!" she sobbed.
And this was what he read:
Dear Hrs SilUeYton: | am exceedingly sorry
to be unable to keep my engagement with you,
but the unexpected death of my brother de-
mands my immediate presence in Scotland
Under these altered circumstances you will, ]
am sure, have no difficulty in seeing that a
union between us is impossible. Apologizing
for the inconvenience aud disappointment
have caused you, am, your sincere friend,
PERCY RAPLEss.
"What an internal scoundrel!" calculated
John Langton.
4" don't care a straw for him. said Mrs Sill
verton. q hate him; but he has made me
look such f-f-fool!" and her tears flowed
afresh
John Langton's face assumed a very peculiar
expression. He paced up and down once OF
twice, breathing very hard and muttering tc
himself Then he walked straight up to the
chair on which she sat, dropped on his knees
and seized her hand.
GIVE me the right to protect you'll" he said
"What do you mean?"
Marry me! l have loved you all along
but / never said SO, because / thought you
would imagine it was not you, but money
Now, perhaps, you will believe me-"
Mrs. Silverton did not withdraw her hand
nor did she answer for a few minutes.
Won't you say yes?"
Z" 1t is too ridiculous" she murmured; "bu1
I wish you had spoken sooner. ! always liked
you better than that"
Owing to demonstration on Langtons par
the sentence was never completed.
There was terrible row at Covert Castle
when Mr.. Percy Rapless, or Lord COfferton, a.
he fondly imagined himseft to be- arrived there
The Major made no secret of the fact that i
was he who sent the lying telegram; he ex

sorted to violence. A mill resulted in which

! They were finally separated by the servants
but as Mr.. Rapless was borne off, bruised anC

MANY of the recognized authorities in civil
as well as military circles say 1.-The malarial
disease is most dangerous in that the kidneys
are most liable to break down." Such men as
Dacosta, Atkinson and Pepper, professors in our
leading medical schools, and Soldaton, Surgeon
Gen. in the Russian army, Woodward, Surg
Gen. in our American army, speak of malaria
as direct complication of chronic Brights dis
ease. The kidneys must be kept free from dis
ease and the poisonous germs of malaria they
must act normally in cleansing the blood, for
90 gallons of it passes through them every hour.
People in malarial localities recover from both
the cause and effect of malaria by using War
ner's Safe Cure. Every person, in the spring
or fall, who has either kidney disease or
malaria, should use Warmers Safe Cure as a
precautionary measure.
