RussOmania In France.

The, Russian rastaquoueres, pseudo
mobiles, pseudo-diplomats, and officers
open to suspicion meet with childishly
enthusiastic reception at the hands of
Jacques Bonhomme, and find associates
among many honest people, mingled
with adventures. Thus they succeeded
in founding Franco-Russian theaters,
Franco-Russian newspapers, all Of them
equivocal enterprises Of which the
simpletons become the inevitable vic
Tins. The public Of republican Paris
applauds pieces in honor of the Car,
manifest enthusiasm on behalf of Holy
Russia, and gives way to sort Of pious
imbecility as regards everything that is
closely or remotely connected with the
alliance
Thus the French nation, in its own
estimation the wittiest in the world, has
condescended to delight in idiotic TRADES
or babyish anecdotes like the following
During the exhibition Of 1885, when it
became almost impossible to get cab, a
gentleman stopped the jehu of one of
these vehicles, saying:
Goodman, will you drive me to the
exhibition"
"No; my horse is tired"
"Coachnan, will give you ten franco"

An Army Of ANITA

Silently, deadly and irresistibly move
these battalions; out Of the forest, down,
into, across and up the ditch, through
the bona (wood stockade). across the
square, and into every nook and Granny
conceivable they swarmed. The first
notice (they generally came at night
would be loud yell from some Of the
men, "Look out! Slaiu!" There would
be no more sleep that night.
After experience gained we found it
the best plan to clear out Of our houses,
rush into the square and build rings of
fire around us. To put on ones clothes
was to get bitten by dozens all over ones
body unless the garments had been first
thoroughly smoked over a fire. Every
now and then yells and curses told how a
lazy one had got caught in his bunk.
The walls Of the huts, the roofs and floor
were simply one seething mass of strug-
Cling ants.
They were after the cockroaches, mice
and insects that had taken up their abode
in the roots. Now and then squeaks of
young mice told their story. AS fast as
the ants found their load, generally
cockroach, they would make off down
the hill in long lines. Luckily they never
touched our granaries; they seemed to
prefer animal food. Toward morning
there would only be few thousand lost
ones, aimlessly tearing about, apparently
looking for the main body which had
just decamped.
Usually these raids on us were made
after rainstorm; many of them came
into the fort already staggering under
loads; these appeared to wander about
till the others were ready. Next day
not cockroach could be found in the
place, so that the ants did Us a service
in Kidding us Of these pests. The rats
had decamped also, and did not return
for some days.-Nineteenth Century.

The LIGHTNING Arrester."

To the uninitiated it is a great puzzle
how the dangers Of lightning are ar
rested where there are 80 many con-
ductors Of electricity as there are in a
telegraph Office. More than 1900 wires
enter the big Western Union building in
New York city, and from one to thou
sand in other offices of that company
throughout the United States. Each Of
these wires run more or less directly to
the desks of the operators. This being
the case, how do they guard against dan
ger from lightning during times of great
electrical disturbances? Even when less
electric attractions are wanting most
people confess to a certain feeling of in
security when the elements rage and
wake up terrifying flashes of forked
fury. But science has provided an an
swer to the question asked above, as
well as to almost all other puzzles which
stand in the way Of human progress
Every wire as it enters building
passes through the bottom of a long,
narrow board, and then again through
it at the top. This board is the eight
ming arrester." If the current is heavy
the first effect Of the board is to deprive
it Of much Of its force. Should the first
contact with the ''arrester" fail to elm
mate the lightning Of its fatal powers it
passes on to the top Of the board and
touches q spring which communicates
with drop" instantly shutting off all
connection with the operating room.
The spring is called the plush magnet"
and beyond it no overcharge Of light
ming, whether proceeding from storm
or from contact with other wires, can
possibly go.-St. Louis Republic.

A New Hay Rake.

A westerner has invented a hay rake
which he thinks will avoid some Of the
defects Of those now in use It is COM
bination of the sulky and revolving rakes.
There are the wooden teeth Of the re-
volving rake hanging under and revolv.
Ing round the axle. The proper motion
is given by means Of hinged back. The
idea is a sulky rake which will not

been tried in France. It is white pow

The solution. which is cheap, is said to
be a very effective antiseptic, without
being poisonous or caustic or injurious
to instruments or linen. Its antiseptic
properties are inferior to those of corro-

Sugar In Glover.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head Of clover is composed of
about sixty distinct flower tubes, and
each Of these contain sugar not to ex-
coed the fve-hundredth part Of grain
The proboscis of the honey bee must,
therefore, be inserted into 500 clover
tubes before one grain of sugar can be
obtained. There are 1000 grains in q
pound, and as honey contains three
fourths Of it's weight of dry sugar each
pound Of clover honey would represent
the insertion of it's proboscis into $780,
900 clover heads.-New York Telegram.

MAFIosI IN ARGENTINE.
A Whole Family Murdered After
Desperate Struggle.


From the New York World.
Advices received from near Carrientes,
Argentine Republic. give the details of the
murder of a family of four by order Of the
Malta.
Richard Monari, his wife and two young
sons, aged 10 and IS respectively, lived on
the outskirts of the town. Their father
was laborer and bore good reputation,
while his two sons were employed in dry
goods store as porters and messengers
With the Monaris lived Leonora Spacci, a
niece of Monari's WIFE, Luigi Solazzi, a
worthless fellow, was introduced at ball
to Leonora and became infatuated witch her
He followed her around, protesting his love
and making himself obnoxious TO the girl
She stood it as long as she could and then
mentioned it to Morani.
Monari saw Solazzi and quietly asked
him to let the girl alone. SolazZ then asked
him to use his influence with the girl in his
behalf. This Monari refused to do This
angered Solazzi and from words they finally
came to blows. Solazzi drew stletto, with
which he inflicted a severe wound in
Monari's neck. Solazzi, on the other hand,
had half of his right ear shot off by Monari
They were finally separated, Solazzi vowing
vengence on Monari.
A few days after this Solazzi spoke insult
ingly to Leonora and, being seen by the
Monari boys, they promptly gave him a
severe thrashing.
In February Monari received note in
which he was commanded to give Leonora
to Solazzi under penalty of death. 1t was
signed Roberto Franconi, president Of the
Malta. Monari paid no attention to the
note, but kept an eye open for Solazzi. On
March the Monaris were at supper, when
Solazzi entered. Monari at once ordered
him out of the room,l Solazzi lefs remark,
ing, "When l come back you'll GO" Hardly
had the family fallen asleep that night
when the window was raised and
SIX masked men entered the bedroom
They were armed with knives Monari
aroused by their stumbling over some crock
cry which lay on chair, reached for his
revolver, but he was stabbed through the
heart ere he could use it. The assassins
then quickly meted out the same fate to the
murdered mans two young sons, one OF
whom, ere dying, killed Solazzi, who Yves
one of the gang. They then attacked the
mother, who defended herself bravely with
Ratchet, with which she split open the
skull of one Of her assailants, but she, too
succumbed to repeated stahs.
The Mafiosi then put the bodies into sacks
and threw them into the river, but, as they
had forgotten to load the bodies with stones
the bodies fioated, and this led to the dis.
covery of the crime On the BODY Of
Solazzi were found documents proving
that he and his companions were members
of the Malta. SO far no arrests have been
made.
Leonora, who lay under bed during the
fight, and who escaped the search the
Matiosi made for her, has been threatened
by them with death. She is guarded by the
police.

Celery Growing at Kalamazoo.

w. II. Woodlands gives in the Anasricnn
Garden brief description of the famous
celery fields about Kalamazoo, Mich, from
which we extract the following interesting
facts:
Celery seems to be the crop predestined by
nature for the utilization OF our marsh
meadows aud tamarack swamps, and IL our
Hollander population were not designed for
the same emo. yet the Hollanders and the
celery crop have made the lair Of the
yenomous massasanga into miles OF fertile
gardens. Kalamazoo is situated on burr .
oak prairie In the valley OF the Kalamazoo
river, and the marshes ars on three sides Of
the city. These marshes are crossed by cold
aud clear streams, making into the river al
the point.
We had the peculiar soil aud the right
climate and the HoilaDders: celery was only
the missing link that when found put us In
ever increasing correspondence with the
rest Of the world. The culture II celery
has been the making Of Kalamazoo.

OF it began on a large scale for market, and
by 1883 had assumed such large Proportions
that the crop realised over $500 ,qlQ, theav

profit is another thing. however. Some of
these celery marshes pay rental of $75 per
acre.
But little horse cultivation is resorted to,
almost all Of the work being done with the
hoe. The soil is too marshy 10 permit OF
the use of horse implements, as it is neces-
sary to put clogs on the horses feet to keep
them from sinking into the muck. The de-
pendence is almost entirely on hand labor
men and women, boys and girls doing the
setting out aud cultivating. Some growers
blanch with soil, while Others use the board
plan.
In 1880 there were fifty firms engaged in
shipping celery from Kalamazoo. There
are more now That year the average
weekly shipments amounted to $4,000
dozens. Most OF it is shipped by express,
but some shipments to central points are
made in carload lots, refrigerator cars being
used to carry it in good condition.
MIR. w. further states that there are sew
eral requisites TO success sful celery culture
besides the presence of marsh muck. A
light deposit of muck above clay soil does
not answer fully. The black muck must be
deep. but it must be drained to three feet
above wafer line IL must be so situated,
too, that it will not food in q wet season.
All the manure that can be obtained is
used, a dressing three inches deep often
times being turned under. The Kalamazoo
growers are all agreed that there is some
peculiar mineral element in the marsh soil
that gives the celery its fine Favor. 1t ma
lures very early in this soil.
The above very clearly shows that Gallery
is not likely to do much in thin uplands
with inadequate moisture.
