BERLIN, Jan. IO.-The landtag re-
sumed its ~s.ttines yesterday, but legisla
lion is in suspense. owing to the continu-
ance Of the conflict between the Conserva-
tive majority aud the government. The
communal reform bill is still in the hands
OF the commission. In conversation with
the commission the chancellor appealed
to their sentiment Of fidelity 10 the throne
aud promised concessions 10 favor of the
agricultural interests Of the country in
other government measures in return for
acquiescence 10 local reforms. He warned
them that persistent opposition would
create serious difficulties for the mon
archy. In spite ot this, however. there
are no apparent signs oil a compromise
yet. A number d members of the old
Cartel party are ~endeavoriDg TO arrange
the formation of Bismarck group in the
reichstag or landtag. They have asked for
Bismarck formal sanction. In reply. he
sent word that he would not prevent
members following his known policy IRON
claiming the authority oil his name so long
as they upheld his opinions. This
qualified sanction is interpreted as mean
ing that he will not seek at present
publicly to lead the party, although he is
willing to direct their parliamentary
operations. The Liberal organs generally
see IN this an early dissolution OF par

Court talk turns upon the enperor's
remarks TO high %diguTaries of the count
concerning Bismarck. The emperor said

"KICKINo THE BUCKET"
EHindoostan People Lift the Old OoISen
Bucket with Feet, Not Hands.


The way water is raised in Hindco-
stan is very old and interesting. II is
one Of the most ancient methods, and
with the old oallen bucket has come
down the ages.
In this machine long beam, weight
ed at one end, is pivoted in a forlSed
post and arranged to oscillate on it's
pivot. To the lighter end of the beam
is connected a rod which is attached at
its lower end to bucket, and the
weight of the heavier end of the beam
is more than sufficient TO lift a bucket
OF water. Upon the beam is placed a
plank, and at the sides of the plank
are arranged hand-rails. The operator
walks forward and backward upon the
beam, thus alternately adding hls
weight to the lighter end of the beam
and removing it therefrom, causing the
bucket alternately to dip into the water
and lift it to the surface, where it is
emptied by another person.
In some cases these machines are
provided with steps to give a better
foothold. 1t is sa id that the operator
upon these machin es becomes so expert
that the water never ceases running in
the troughs leading from the well, and
still his confidence is such, notwith-

nLoPED FROM oHAUrAUQUA

AN INCIDENT THAT HAS EXCITED
THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Chautauqua, n Y, July 15.-Charles
Wadsworth came from Huntingdon,
Pa, short time ago to spend the SUM
mer here. He had buried his young
wife about six months ago and
intended, as far as possible, to forget
his grief in the various lines of study
and recreation that Chautauqua oilers
Nellie Park er, also somewhat
pretty brunette, came here fiom Iatta-
rsugus county, N. y about The lst OF
July to study. She was not very well
off in this worlds goods, but was
thoroughly Independent and hence
proposed to work her way through the
summer school by serving in dining
room here, as many other girls do.
WadsworIh came to the same house To
board met the girl, and was completely
captivated with her. Last Sunday
morning WadsWorth and Miss Nellie
were missing. Later il was learned
that they had crossed the lake in row
boat and eloped to jamestown, where
they We're subsequently married.
OF course, everybody wishes them
well, for it is good omen To be the
first married at Chautauqua on the
opening of the assembly. Several
other prospective married couples feel
very blue over the fact that they are
mot Ia it' this year.

to frighten him nearly to death.
"Stay in Purgatory," she said, cor
else you'll have all those silk dresses so
creased and glazed that they won't do

come back to hear yourself rustic in
silk you proud huzzy; and Satan can
have no revenge, because You burnt
yourself up here!'
"a great many times, said the child,
''would she thus receive her ghostly
visitors. Sometimes they would come
to look over the family jewels, and
then there'd be a great fuss, because
certain of Mrs. r. S relatives robbed her,
and she acquainted Lucy with the fact.
Once Lucy slapped the witchs jaws,
the sound of which the boy heard dis
tinctly; and the red print of a hand
showed plainly on the pallid old cheek.
Lucy was actually burned alive in
that ugly old square house. She was
burned in her kitchen fireplace, and
only one shoe, inside of which was a
foot, proved that flesh blood and bone
had perished there in the pile of ashes
on the hearth The kitchen is now the
abode of lights and shades, and since
the witch has been unable to hire a
cook or command one by witch-power,
she has left it wholly to these uneanny
occupants, and there the village folk
are willing they shall remain.

Some English inventor has devised a
new method OF masking joints in lead
pipe that is as effective an copvenicnt
as it is simple, One Of the ends of pipe
to be jointed is slightly reduced by
driving on a hollow cone, and then a
nut with sharp thread is slipped on
the end BY driving a plug into the
end of the pipe the lead is expanded and
forced into the threads Of the nut,
making a good male thread upon the
outside of the pipe. The other pipe
end is given a left-hand thread in a
similar manner, and the two ends can
then be readily joined by right-and-

to the house girl, Annie Croft. So, in
the hope of retaining it during her
natural life, she bewitched Mrs.

very short time married the gray old
