Kaiser WilheIm,s Mother.

The Empress Frederick is touched by
suffering and takes much interest in
charitable enterprises. She was present
recently at the great meeting of the COM
mittee of the society for sending the
weak and sick children of the poor of
Berlin for change of air to the country,
the seaside and various health resorts-a
society which was called into existence
ten years ago at the suggestion of the
then crown prince and princess, and
which last summer was able to give
some weeks of fresh air and healing
baths and waters to more than 1000
poor little city children. Eight boys
and eight girls, who have benefited by
the society, were allowed to hand
punches of violets to the Empress Fred
erick, and as she took them she was
heard to say: "Ah, if | could only take
them to him! He was always SO f0ld
of violets. "-Exchange

Electric RAILWAYS in RUSSIA,

We have long been accustomed to as
sociate any new development of electric
traction with America, but scheme is
on foot in st. Petersburg which, if car
ried out, will certainly leave America
far in the rear 1t is proposed to have q
railway entirely worked by electricity,
connecting st. Petersburg with Arch
angel, and spanning u wide stretch of
country between the Baltic and the
White sea. The project is said to be
backed by Archangel interests, and the
name of Siemens & Co. is connected with
the enterprise. The plan is to furnish
the current from a series of generating
stations distributed along the line. The
distance is something over 500 miles, and
the estimated cost Il little over $4,000
per mile, including rolling stock. The
scheme is certainly daring one, and,
while it may never reach accomplish
ment, its further progress will be awaited
with interest by the advocates of electric

1t is seldom we have seen anything
that puts the Prohibition argument in
so few words as the following from an
Iowa writer:
1.-The Prohibitionist has seen all the
strings snap except the one he plays.
Local option was too local, too optional.
1t proved utterly inadequate. Low Lii
cense did no good. 1t failed utterly and
every time. High License involved Grim
inal completely with the evil, justified
the wicked for reward, and was failure
as a pretense for regulation. 1t broke
down whenever and wherever employed.
And non-partisanism did not amount to
anything as relief measure.
"But Prohibition, political Prohibi-
ton, did not fail. The whole tune of
Paganini must be played on that string
Political Prohibition through political
party is the only string that will sound
the notes of a national redemption from
the rum power"

Sorry He Had Money in the Bank.

''Say, mister, won't you lend me
$4.50?' asked a boy of man in the
street.
-Four dollars" cried the man, gasping
for breath. That's good deal for a
little fellow like you to want to borrow. u
"Well," whimpered the boy, 81 went
and bought one of those banks in which
you have to put $40 before you get any
thing out. I've got $3.50 in it and now
the circus is here and can't get any of
my money. If you will lend me $3.50 /
can get it changed into ten cent pieces
and put it all in, when the bank will
come open. l can pay you right back. "
But the man said he could not wait
that long and left the boy with a woebe-
gone face, bordering over the care and
misery of one who has bank account.

A Strange Monster.

Two Mexican fishermen killed an ugly
and vicious anolis of the lizard species
the other day on Padre Island, but Lot
until Il hard battle had been fought. It
measured four feet long and thirteen
inches in circumference, with claws
equal to a tigers 1t contained twenty
four eggs. This monster is native of
the West India islands and the first ever
seen here. During the combat the ano-
lis several times changed its color from
green to brown and vice versa, pecu-
iarity of its tribe. Many theories are
advanced as to how it reached the island.
The most plausible is that it came in one
of the huge mahogany logs from foreign
lands that are frequently washed ashore.

IN ABOLITION DAYS.
Oliver johnson Shows How History Re-
peats Herself in Wrong Ways.

Oliver johnson Shows How History Re-
peats Herself in Wrong Ways.
Oliver johnson, a veteran Abolitionist,
died recently. In a narrative of the
rise of abolitionism, he showed that time
ssrving and cowardice were as prevalent
then as they are now.
Speaking Of the early struggle Mr..
johnson said:
sit was almost impossible sometimes
to find in Boston a clergyman of any
standing who would so much as consent
to open an anti-slavery meeting with
prayer. But may be asked, Did the
leaders of the churches, men of infu-
ence and might, openly advocate slavery
as a good thing? Oh, no, indeed! If
they had done that we should have
speedily overmastered them.
"They were just as much opposed to
slavery as the Abolitionists, but expedi-
ency was a very popular word in those
days, being held to embody the very
highest wisdom in all things relating to
slavery. Everybody was ready to affirm
that slavery in the abstract was some
thing dreadful, the very acme, indeed, of
human wickedness; but for slavery in
the United States every mans mouth was
full of apologies"
But Johnson and his coadjutors la
bored on amid jeers, taunts, mobs, i'm
prisonments, social ostracism. He lee
tured and wrote until he lived to see the
truth which he>had been one of the reso-
lutte twelve to openly espouse triumph
ant throughout every part of his own
land and victorious as well in Russia,
Brazil and in fact every land where
Christianity and civilization reign.

High License a Failure.

High License in Massachusetts
where $1,000 license has been tried
in place of prohihitory law, has prov
eG most disastrous failure as it
must ever prove whenever and where
ever tried. The favored saloons are
crowded and drunkenness runs riot.
All the so.called restrictions are dis,
regarded and the sale Of whiskey
alone considered. Away with the

A Long Oil Pipe Line.

A colossal scheme has been projected
for conveying petroleum in pipes from
the port of Baku, ON the Caspian, to Ba-
toum, on the Black sea. 1t has been
shelved for a time as being too costly,
but all the specifications have been
drawn out in detail. The length of the
line of piping is 497 miles, the cast iron
pipes are to be eight inches in diameter,
and there are to be sixty-four intermedi-
ate stations. And the pipes must be

The following laws are laid down
by the United States government for
the protection of newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered
as wishing to continue sheir subscrip-
ton. -
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former di-
rection, they are held responsible.
If subscribers order the discontinue
ance of their periodicals the publishers
may contiapest 70 send them until all
arreafs are paid.
, The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the Office
before removed, and leaving them un-
called for, is prinla fdc;e evidence OF
intentional frand.
If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice to the pub
fisher at the end of their time IL they
DO not wish to continue taking IT;
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send 1T en- and the subscriber wiz

SHOOTING STARS.

According to thc calculations of the
astronomers there are two great
streams of meteors which the earth
encounters IN. its path annually, one
about august 10, the other about
November 10. As the thickness of
the stream is not uniform, but varies
very much, the brilliancy Of the dis
play depends largely upon the thick
ness of the stfean at the point where
the earth; traveTses it. AT certain
periods the thickest and most crowd
ed portion of the stream is encounter
ed, and the number of nleteOrs is so
great as to constitute veritable show
er. l.
In these showers of stars they all
seem to come from a single definite
point in the sky. This point is called
by astronomers the radiant point, :"
and is always at or near Perseus, near
the constellation Cassiopei's Chair.
This constellation is the one popularity
known as The Big W." or 1.-The
Chair.'' 1t can easily he found by
any one who knows the ''Big Dipper," :"
and the position of the North Star.
Cassiopeia is opposite to the ''Big Dip
per- or Great Bear. and at an eqttssf
distance from the North Star. In
other words, the North Star is just
midway between the Great Bear and
Cassiopeia At this time of the year
Cassiopeia viii be found to the east
of the North Star. Those who desire
t0 witness the meteoric shower should
confine their attention ofhis quarter
of the heavens. Should more than
ten or twelve meteors an hour be seen
apparently starting from this point,
it will be evidence that the eEHtht. is
passing into and out of the stream, or
through very small part of it.
Prof. Brownmark says he has paid a
great deal of attention to the annual
meteoric. showers and does not believe
tfaS the earth will reach the meteoFic
belt or stream until tonight, August
Is, and the shower, he thinks, viii be
full of interest. He says, however,
that the astronomic event of the year
according to his calculations, will be
the neteorie shower which viii occur
in November. Should the weather be
clear and cleudless, Prof. Brownmark
predicts = spectacle of unsurpassed
grandueE. About forty hours are
oecupi61 in passing through
the belt, but Size maximum display is
over in about six hours.
