A New Religion In Russia.

Never was such q place as Russia for
eccentric and mysterious creeds. The
peasants in the governmental province
of Uflm have been disquieted for some
months past by the appearance of a new
religious sect Although no man has
yet seen with his own eyes an individual
member of this sect. its extraordinary
doings have filled many village with
panic. The 'shavers"-or ''shearers,' -
as they are properly called-carry on
their mad work at night and in secret
Thus the inhabitants Of village dis.
cover early in the morning that NIL their
fowls have been picked OF their
feathers, all their sheep closely shorn
and the horses have had their names
and tails cut off. The hair. wool and
feathers thus gained are made into q
sacrihcial pile and burned in an open
place on the road. In village after vii.
lage the cry has been raised: The
shavers have been here" The advent
Of the3''shavers' was foretold, they say,
by the appearance Of 'besom" "a
comet) in the heavens. The peasants
are persuaded that the ''shavers'' are in
spired by an evil spirit, and that their
object in making these burnt sacrifices
is that the ashes, blown about by the
wind, may scatter the seeds of the

A Farmer and III Is Dog Put to Flight BY

Although it is a fact that there are
porcupines in this part Of the State, one
is so rarely seen that few people are
aware Of it. John Weeks, of Friend.
ship, has lived on farm there for forty
years, and it was not until few days
ago that he had any idea that they were
neighbors to such thing as porcu-
pine. He was digging potatoes in one OF
his fields, when dog that was with him
suddenly bristled up and made = dash
for a row of bushes along one edge of the
aeld couple OF rods away. The dog
came out of the bushes as suddenly
as he had dashed in, and with him
little animal which Farmer
Weeks had no difficulty in recogniz.
ing as porcupine. The dog was yelp.
ing at the top Of his lungs, and lost no
time in getting away from the animal
which he had attacked. His nose and
head were filled with quills the porcu.
pine had shed.
Farmer Weeks, provoked at the plight
his dog was in, rushed upon the porcu.
pine, which remained at the edge OF
the bushes, every quill erect and at.
tackled it with his hoe. The animal
squealed and shook itself until its qu:lls
rattled. Instantly two other porcupines
came rushing to its aid. and they looked
so fierce and belligerent that Farmer
Weeks beat retreat. and followed his
dog. who had gone yelping home. After
the farmer AMI his family had pulled
the porcupine's weapons out OF the dogs
face and head Weeks took his gun and
went out to shoot the porcupines- He
succeeded in killing one Of them, bu
the other two got away.-H ornellsvillt

TRICKS or SMUGGLERS.

A JeweIry Firms Ingenious scheme to
Cheat tho Government.
We are informed that about six weeks
ago a jewelry hrm not far from Madison
Square. on Broadway, succeeded in get
ing o number of diamonds past the Gus
toms officials In peculiar way.
The diamonds numbered between
eighty and ninety, and were worth in
the vicinity Of $4,000, as they were all
largo stones
On the invoice they were billed as
imitation French jewels of tho new
kind. These diamonds are made Of
brilliant pieces Of glass highly polished
and deftly covered with thin coating
Of genuine diamond shavings. These
stones are so expertly made that 1t Is
almost impossible to detect the imita-
tion even by the use Of strong micro
scope. The tell-tale feature of the imi-
tation stone is a roughness around tho
circular edge at the widest part Of the
stone where the two layers OF the dia.
mond coating join.
This is really the only way that the
imitation can be detected. Emeralds,
pearls and rubies are also made in this
same way. 1t is necessary to use a
microscope to detect this roughress
about the edge.
When the consignment Of supposed
imitation diamonds arrived the assistant
appraiser assigned to gauge their value
examined each stone carefully with a
powerful microscope, and found that all
of them had the tell-tale roughness on
the edges. He accordingly allowed them
to be delivered to the consignees on
payment of the duty based upon a valu'
alton of $500. This saved the firm some
ST, 200 in duty.
AS matter Of fact the jewellers knew
the means taken by the custom-house
authorities to discover whether the
stones were imitation or not, and bad
fled the edges of the diamonds before
shipment from the other side, so tina,
they resembled the spurious article

BOILING WATER.

A Simple and Effective Method of Killing
Disease Germs.
All water for drinking and other
purposes should be first thor

it is derived is at all doubtful as to
purity. Some germs are killed at tenn
oerature as low as 1900 Others require
1900 to 212o; still others require as
high degree of heat as 240o. For this
last of course the water would have to

which are not killed at temperature

fortunate fact
Undoubtedly more disease is propa-
gated through water contamination than
in any other manner, and the only way
TO mako sure that water is harmless is
TO boil it. It can afterward be cooled,
if preferred, for drinking. Even saw
ages in some regions have been found
whose ordinary custom it is to cook all
tho water they use. Stanley notes
several large tribes living in the
heart of Africa who cook their
water just as much as they cook
their yams. They live in most unsan-
itary surroundings, congregated in
large villages, throwing their filth into
the same river from which they take
their water supply, and yet through
this precaution they never have feve1a
