not be supposed that his consideration
FOR the wants of his people is due only
to selfish motives. Far from it. The
present Emperor of Russia is a man
of truly noble character, thoroughly
honest in purpose, sincerely religious,
kind in heart, and most disinterest-
eddy solicitious for the welfare of his
country. There is, however, one
strange apparent contradiction in his
character which may yet have sinister
results. The Gar is not gifted with
the extraordinary intelligence which
would be desirable in his position no
man is more modest as to his personal
merits and ability, but there is no
man in this world so impressed with
his own importance, in the peculiar
light in which he views himself, as the
diyinely appointed mead of the only
true faith and of specially chosen
people
The most devoted of husbands, he is
yet ever conscious that his wife, born a
foreigner, of alien faith, remains out
side the pale, aud consequently the
Empress has as little influence in his
counsels as if she were a stranger to
him. The Office of Gar is, he con-
siders, holy Office; no other mortal
than the holder of that Office is on
anything approaching the same ex-
allied level. Any real or supposed
slight or injury to the chosen people,
the Russians-to their semi-diyine
head, the Czar-or to the only true
faith the orthodox Greek faith-will
Immediately rouse all that is stubborn
in the character Of Alexander Ill,
and will be promptly avenged. A true
lover of peace, he will nevertheless,
without a moments hesitation. plunge
his country into disastrous war, against
any odds, to fulfill what he considers
his sacred duty.
This is the real and great danger
which threatens the world through

of his own person; and this belief has

Curious Conversion of City Dogs.

The mystery surrounding the ultimate
destination of the dogs of the Eighth
and Spruce streets vivisection hospital
has been cleared. They have gone where
the dogs of the refuge for homeless and
suffering animals and the city pound 60
to the desiccating works of manu-
featuring firm at Venango street and
Delaware avenue, where they are con-
yerted into ammonite, tallow, oil and
fertilizers.
The place is big one, near the river,
occupying several acres, on which stand
the dozen buildings used in the various
processes of economizing useless animals.
Twelve wagons are run to every part
of the city day and night to secure sup
plies. AS many as $50 dogs are taken
into the mill on ordinarily busy days.
They are usually reinforced by a supply
of cats, Incidental to the daily excur-
sion.
The dog skins are sent to a St. Louis
firm, where they are made into gloves.
Then the meat is pressed, and the dog oil
obtained is sold to druggists and patent
medicine venders throughout the country,
who in turn retail it as sovereign cure
for consumption, rheumatism, gout, head
ache, and, in short, every known ill that
flesh is heir to, except impecuniosity.
.Tallow candles and machine oils use up
the rest of the bow-wow organization ex-
cept the bones, which are converted into
the fertilizing ammonite.
The business is hSg, almost universal
one, because the firm is without rival,
and orders for its products pour in from
every quarter. Dogs that have made

a dog is used except his bark. Even the
wag of his tail is perpetuated in whip

Flowing in Peru.

The land is plowed in Peru in the
following manner: From six to dozen
teams of oxen are put at work in single
field of twenty or thirty acres. The
oxen are "yokcd" by tying heavy
beam across their foreheads. TO this
beam the plow is attached, all the force
being applied by the head instead OF the
shoulders. The plow is q crooked stick
or branch of Il tree, the point faced with
iron. The Hebrews, when they titled
the soil in the time of Moses, had a plow
made in the same way. Intelligent
Peruv,ans contend that they do not need
to plow more than two or three inches
decp-simply enough to loosen the soil so
as to enable the seed to take root. The
water used in irrigating is said to be
rich in plant food, further obviating the
necessity of deep plowing. 1t may also
be added that improved plows, suitable
for this country, are now manufactured
in Europe and the United States, but it
goes without saying that they are very
different from the plow used by an
American farmer. They are light and
small, having close resemblance to the
original crooked stick. Another peculiar
ity of every Peruvian plow is that it has
only one handle. The driver carries IN
one hand a large goad, twelve or fifteen
feet in length, with which to touch up
his team, and he manages the plow with
the other hand.

Remarkable Insurance Statistics.

Some rather remarkable statistics are
promulgated by the eighteen leading in.
surance companies of Germany, banded
together under the name of the German
Association, remarkable only for the
percentage of '"extraordinary" fires and
for the striking proof they afford of the
correctness of the opinion that only
small proportion of people set fire to in
sured property for purposes of gain. The
total number of claims met by the asso-
citation in 1889 was 26,69s, and of these
1886 were classed as extraordinary.
These were again subdivided by causes
as follows: Proven incendlarism by the
insured, thirty fires; by others, 157; so
that in known cases the non-interested
property-burner is owes five times as nu-
merous as he who owns it. In 330 cases
incendiarism by the insured and 1342
cases by Others was suspected. Careless
ness by the insured was proven in 24O
cases, tending to show that the insured
man is also careful man. In I'll fires
the origin was suspected carelessness of
others. Taken all in all, the insured
man looms up in this showing as more
moral and more careful than his uninsured
fellow mortal. Thus, the somewhat
plausible, yet incorrect, view, occasion
ally ventilated, that the existence of fire
insurance, while indemnifying for loss
from fire, is for that very reason cause
of fire, by offering temptation and tax
ing away the incentive for care, is most
strongly disproved by this exhibit

of chair and her heels on the floor with
out the girl falling.
The second, or cataleptic, stage was
induced by the forcible opening of the
girls eyclids, resulting in stare as OF
enhancement. In this state the girl was
made to believe everything and any
thing. A gong was struck and she was
told twas church bell, upon which she
struck Q devotional attitude. a bit Of
red glass wdss put before her eyes
with the information that the
house was on fire, and at once
she became frantic with terror. A num-
Der of other experiments followed, which
most of us have seen done in exhibitions
of mesmerism during the last thirty
years; but whereas most of those vulgar
performances were impostures, these
hypnotic manifestations arc undoubtedly
genuine.
The third, or somnambulistic stage
was induced by rubbing the girls hair
on top of her head. She now saw things
around her as they were, but the reason
ing power was deranged. Again she be-
lieved whatever was told her. One man
was an iceberg, and she shivered when
he came near her. She gnawed a steel
file, believing it to be chocolate, and SO
on. In this stage the doctor could
paralyze any limb at will.

AN ITALIAN TEAM.

we'll enough trained for use. They arc
the favorite draft animals with most
Italian farmers, probably because, like
their owners, they are never in hurry.
They are usually yoked together, (as in
the cut) and driven with rope harness,
though we have seen scmc in Northern
Italy in heavy leather collars instead of o
yoke. For teaming in the cities the
Italians often hitch up several yokes tan
dem. Your correspondent saw eight
the other day in Naples each with its
driver and his long snake whip.
The Italian cowboys are fine horse
men and lovers of horses. Our illustri-
Gus countryman, "Buffalo Bill" has
caused great excitement this spring and
drawn crowds to see his 'show" by chal-
longing the native horsemen to trials OF
skill. The American cowboys have
already come out ahead although the
Italians have shown themselves no mean
opponents.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

The hills of Tuscany and the Roman

herds of cattle which "range' over the
country much as do the cattle of the

very much like those one sees in the
Southwest too. Their horns are enormous,
sometimes over three feet in length, and
they have a color peculiarly their o'Sn-a
sort of bark grey which is sometimes
varied by black legs and markings. They

out a pin through it. There was no
blood, and when the pin was Withdrawn
and the girl restored to consciousness she
told US she only felt as though she had
been pricked slightly.
DR.. Charcot divides the action Of hyp-
notism (Which means the state Of perfect
sleep) into three stages-frst, lcthargy;
second, catalcpsy, and third, somnam-
bulism. On the recent visit to his place
of an investigation Dr.. Charcot produced
a young woman of twenty-four, stoutly
built, with bright and intelligent face.
She was a highly hystcrical subject, hab-
itually insenslble to pain on the lclt nall
of the body. DR.. Charcot showed this by
pricking her with a pin on each side.
She was hidden to gaze intently on
point near and above her eyes, when she
soon went of into Inconsistencies, and
the doctor closed her eyelids. Now the
probe could be inserted anywhere with
out any signs of pain. By touching cer-
tain muscles, various actions were me
chanically pcrformed by the limbs and
fingers and muscles of the face. Then
the doctor pressed on certain tendons,
the result being the stiffening of the
whole body; so rigid was she that the
doctor could place her head on the back
