 Prof. R. H. Thurston, in a recent article, gives graphic description of what electricity will do in the near future. He says it will break up the present factory system and enable the home worker once more to compete on living terms with great aggrega- tons of capital Tn interruptions hands. Great steam engines will undoubtedly become generally the sources of power in large cities and will send out the electric wire in every corner of the town, helping the sewing woman at her machine, the weaver at his pat tern loom, the mechanic at his engine lathe, giving every house the mechan- ical aids needed in the kitchen, the laundry, the elevator, and at the same time giving light, and possibly heat, Tn liberal quantity and intensity.

Richard PlautaPenet.

Richard 1 of England, who was born about the middle of the Twelfth century, was ruler of great muscu- lar strength. His valor and prowess have been praised by all commentators on the lives of English kings. Thou sands of readers, no doubt, remember how he unhorssd the burly ,ehanpiou of Isaac of Cypress and hurled him with such force against the ground as to break almost every bone in his body On another occasion when he was the prisoner of Henry VI, in the castle of Tyrol, an insolent son of the jailer challenged him to boxing match.
 The first blow, which was a sting ing one, enraged the imprisoned mon arch to that degree that he forgot his prodigious strength and struck his as- sailant with vengeance. The blow killed the young man as dead as a bolt of lightning would have done. It broke his neck in two places and shat tered the skull as if it had been an egg shell.-John w. Wright in St. Louis Republic.

Tks vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church, Plttsburg, Pa, has agreed to pay the rector of the parish, Rev. Sam uel Maxwell, S5OOO if he will resign on June 1st, and the offer has been accepted. This is probably the first instance on record where a congrega- tion has paid its rector to resign and go elsewhere. Under the canons of the Episcopal Church rector can not be discharged by congregation, and can only be removed against his will from ministering over It after being tried and found guilty of conduct un- becoming minister. Mr. Maxwell had the legal and technical right of holding hIs position for life under this canon.

Dr. Starr, of London, says that it is impossible to draw any conclusion from the size or shape of the head as to the extent or surface of the brain, and so as to the mental capaclty. It is absurd to judge of the brain surface by either the size of the head or the extent of the superficial irregular sur face which is covered by the skull, without taking into consideration the number of folds or the depth of creas- es. "For a little brain with many deep folds may really, when spread out, have larger surface than large brain with few shallow folds" What do phrenologists say to this?-Sclen- tifc AmerIcan.

Illinois politicians are very much exercised over the immensity of the farmers movements, as they are nem- mating township, county and lsglsla- tive tickets, which very materially changes the whole political status The various organizations Tn Illinois alene count their voters by the theus- and, and are erecting their own eleva- tors and stores to conduct their busi- ness through, claiming they save 20, 30 and 40 per cent. on goods pur- chased through the alliance.

When the average man or woman comes to be fitted with the first pair of glasses, some curious discoveries are made. Seven out of ten have strong CT sight in one eye than the other. In two cases out of five one eye is out Of lIne. Nearly one-half the people are color-blind to some extent, and only one par of eyes out of every fifteen are all right in all respects.

Keep Busy.

The secret of success in life is to keep busy, to be persevering, patient, and untiring Tn the pursuit or calling you are following. The busy ones may now and then make mistakes, but it is better to risk these than to be idle and inactive. Keep doing, wheth- CT 1t be at work or seeking recreation. Motion is life, and the busiest are the happiest. Cheerful, active labor is blessing. An old philosopher says: "The frefy only shines when on the wing; so it is with the mind; when once we rest, we darken. ."-Elmina.

The Cherokee strip boomers seem net to be discouraged Tn their attempt to take possession of the forbidden territory. A Caldwell, Kansas dis patch says that on the morning the military left the Strip, and before they were six miles away, fifteen wag- ons were loaded with lumber and fifty men with hammers and saws, were on their way to Cherokee City. All day long that place was the scene of lively work.

We state it as eur candid eplnion that some of the newly-appointed post masters in New Mexico, who had never served as sucA.bsore, now wish that they had not aesNted the place. The honors and emoluRents of office sink into insigniGcance when com pared to the responsibilities and per plexities that fall to the lot of the postmaster who strives as best he can to do his duty.-LaS Vegas Optic.

If 1t be true that the rotation period of Mercury is the same as that of its revolution around the sun, and this does not seem to be at all unreasona- ble, what strange conditions of affairs must exist upon that planet One hemisphere. Tn perpetual day, the otler in e7erlastlng night! One in perpetual heat, the other in intense and never-ceasing cold! At one point upon the sunward hemisphere the sun is in the zenith, oscillating 23 degs. fl min. alternately to the east and west, at others alternately above and below the same point of the horizon, during the period of 68 of our days. Many interesting, although of course useless, questions present themselves to ones mind in contemplating these conditions. Are there living intelli- gent being there? On what part of the globe do they hve? How do they measure time?-Sidereal Messenger.

Mr. Bellamy'S profits from the sale of "Looklng Backward are put at S16,OOO. Under the system of reform advocated in that book, this handsome gain would be distributed among the people, and the author would realize no more for his labor than the hum- blest daily workman. Would that be just and fair ?-Globe-Democrat.

A prominent medical journal calls attention to the growth of the ''naph- tha habit" among the female employees of rubber factories. The inhalation oi naphtha fumes produces a peculiarly agreeable inebriation. Naphtha is used to clean rubber and is kept in large boilers, to the valve of which the en- ployes obtain access and breathe the fumes. The habit was introduced from Germany, and is chiefly found in tho New EnUland States.

Recent foreign correspondence states that the Russian government has de- cided to push vigorously the construc- ton of the proposed railroad across Siberia. Gen. Annenkoff, the builder of the Trans Caspian road, reckons that the entire line to Vladiyostock will cest less than $2OO,0O0,OOO, and that through trans can be run from the Baltic to the Pacific within five years from the beginning of construction. The quickest route for globe trotters to take Tn going around the world would probably be by Canadian Pa cifc from Vancouver to Halifax. or preferably to Lonisburg, Cape Breton, should the railroad be extended to that port, as has been proposed, by steamer to Havre, thence by rail to Vladivostock, and by Pacific steamer to Vancouver. The development of Siberia by transcontinental railroad would be of. vast importance to the civilization of the world.-Engineer- ing and Mining Journal.

straight, and every other road in
the state he'd agreed TO week end one
fare ticket, salable on Saturday and
good for return on Monday. The South
ern Pacific had agreed with
them most fairly, and negotiations
were now pending with the
receivers of the Arkansas Pass. The
roads were treating with them very
fairly, he said, and within three months
he expected that a uniform ticket at $40
would be granted, together with an in
creased weight in baggage allowance.
A telegram was read from the general
passenger agent of the Cotton Belt an
nouncing that its $40 tickets would be
put on sale September l.
Mr.. Cross called attention to the
TACT of a special rate being given
by the transfer firm Of Carter &
Mullaly by which on presentation
of the association certificate baggage
would be haul to and from between
the hotels and depots in the city at half
rate twenty-five cents per piece for
each round trip.
Mr.. Sholl, as an ex-railroad commit
teeman, said that he received very flat
tering concessions from the Southern Pa
cifio road which TO take the popular sem
timent for it, was the stiffest in Its posi-
ton. There is no desire, he said, TO an
tagonize the travelling man that his good
will was wanted, and that he would be
treated fairly by the railways of the
country.
Mr.. Sash rose to ask as a matter of in
formation what the total expenses Of the
organization, national, state and post,
amounted to yearly. The chair stated
that it was Sic for the national expense
and relief refund and Sc for the post
dues.
The president rose to call attention to
the disiointed complaints of the associa-
ton in reference to poor hotel accommo-
dalton, and asked hereafter If COM
plant were called for to reduce it to
writing and submit to the hotel commit
tee.

sumed dignified perpendicular at this
juncture, thanking the house for the
honor in eleoting him to the position
which he had just filled so ga tisfactorilY
to himself, and posing as the best secre-
tary Post D. ever had. This brought
down the house, and on motion of Mr..
Shaffer, who referred to the speech as
one of the merriest he had ever heard in
drummers' meeting, vote of thanks
was rendered him on general principles.
On motion of Mr.. Bartholomaic, vote
of thanks was unanimously rendered the

Rutherford arrived this morning, aud in

EAGLE PASS, TEX, Aug. 24.--News
has just been received here that the mill
tary escort which accompanies the Mexi-
can International railway pay car on it's
monthly trip was arrested at Sabinas
yesterday morning by Col. Nicanor VAL
dez, commander Of body of picked
troops at San Juan Fabinas. The pay
car, with the usual staff on board laid
over at Sabinas on Friday night. To-
wards midnight the escort, consisting of
five Mexican soldiers of the line and a
young lieutenant, had left the baggage
car which they occupy attached to
the pay car, and had gone to
the town where, under the influence OF
mescal, both officer and men behaved in
an unruly m amer and came into collis-
ion with the police. A fight ensued,
which unfortunately resulted in the &C
cidental killing by the soldiers of most
respectable and peaceable Mexican
named Damacio Devila, who had taken
no part whatever in the disturbance.
Col. Valdez generously placed four of
his own men at the disposal of the pay
master in lieu of the regulars arrested.
Federal and civil military officials from
G. P. Diaz are now holding court at
Sabinas, BY which the two-feld offense
will no doubt be thoroughly investigated
and severely punished.
The number of smallpox cases In
Piedras Negras is officially given to-day
at twenty -four.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT,

We do not believe the Democratic
press Of this State wants to see Re-
publican Legislature pass the Aus
tralian ballot system law. 1t would
break thcm up in business. Reno
Gazette.
"What fools these mortals be-"
The Gazette knows, if it knows a1y-
thing, that the Democratic press and
party Of the State demand the adop.
ton OF the Australian ballot system
OF voting, and but few days ago the
Gazette expressed grave doubts that
tho Republican Legislature would
adopt the measure, for the reason that
it would have tendency. to prevent
that party from maintaining it's grip
on the State. Should the comina
Legislature fail to pass the law, the
Gazette will no doubt attribute the
failure to tho action of the five Demo
Gratis to tifty-fve Republicans which
will compose that body.
