Snow walls That Resist Cannon Balls.
London Globe.

A short time ago experiments were
made in Russia, at the suggestion of a
German engineer, as to the resisting
power of snow wall against artillery.
The balls penetrated to distance of
only eighteen feet into the walls. OF
course, in case of war, the walls would
not have to be built so thick, as the
artillery would naturally be at a long
range.
The Russians have also been recently
trying infantry firing at snow walls.
The men of the Eighty-frst Apscheron
Infantry Regiment, under the superin-
tendence of General Count Borcf, built
a wall about 80 feet long, Is feet thick,
and A. feet high. Behind the wall
were placed, at equal intervals, four
targets, at each of which four volleyS
were fired, at distances of 500, 400, 200
and 100 steps.
The penetrating powers OF the volleys
were at 100 steps, feet; at 200 steps, .
feet inches; at 400 steps, feet :
inches; at 500 steps, 4 feet. This proves
that in war operations during Winter
snow could be used with great advant-
age as shelter for troops.

HE LAUGHED AT MARRIAGE.
A gitatOr Stahler's Wild Ideas Get Hin
Into Trouble.


PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-MaX Stab
Ter. the Sociaistic labor agitator, has,
according TO an affidavit filed in Court
of Common Pleas No. l, by Lawyer j.
Joseph Murphy, been trying to put his
theories into actual practice. The af1i-
davit was made by Jennie MOgaliSki, a
9O-year-old girl, who brought suit for
$40, 600 damages for breach of promise
of marriage.
The plaintiff is very pretty and in
telligent young woman who charges that
about the spring of 1889, Stahler first
promised to marry her. Neither had
much money and it was arranged that
the wedding should be postponed for
two years or until after the Jewish hol-
idayS of Easter, 1Sl. This promise was
renewed on January Is of this year, and
under cover of it Stahler is charged with
having accomplished the young girls
ruin, subsequently DESERVING her.
Miss MogalSki, the plaintiff, took no
stock in Stahler'S SOcialiStiC ideas, and
while counting her he promised TO
abandon them after marriage and to
settle down 10 steady work as cigar
maker. Instead of abandoning them,
however, he tried to practice them in
earnest, and after the seduction it is
said that he offered TO live with the girl.
He ridiculed the idea Of marriage, how
ever, which he called mere useless
form, and said they could live together,
as long as both were willing, without
bothering with marriage. The girl in
dignantly rejected the proposition, and
began the suit to compel Stahler to
make good his promises.

STRAWBERRY RASH.
New Disease Caused by Eating the Lus-
ciOus Fruit.

PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-"Straw-
berry Rash" is the name given to an ep-
idemic which has appeared this season
to an unusual extent. Physicians claim
that while the disease, which takes the
form of rash, has in previous years
made its appearance at this season,
never before has it been so prevalent.
The rash attacks the skin, which breaks
out i'm large red blotcheS similar in color
TO the berry from which it takes its
name. 1t is no respecter Of age, attack
ing young and old alike.
There is no known cause for the all
ment, said DR.. j. c. Wilson, when ap-
preached upon the subject. 81, myself,
am subject TO it, and in consequence am
obliged TO refrain from eating strawber-
ries. don's know why some people are
subject to it and others are not, any
more than why some people are liable
to catch rheumatism or any other dis
ease, while other people, under the same
circumstances, are exempt. | only know
that the rash exists, but | don't know
why"
IT PRODUCES AN ITCHING SENSATION.
AL ONcl Ouc Clts PCoPlO "iS sun i''o
from the effects of the luscious berry.
In several cases whole families have it.
While not interfering with the general
health it is accompanied with an itching
sensation that renders it annoying in
the extreme. Many people are ignorant
of the cause of the suffering. Others,
having heard of the existence Of straw
berry rash, have tabooed the berry, and
find themselves benefited by abStainlng
from it.
Physicians unite in saying that the
rash has never before appeared TO such
an alarming extent. Nearly all the doc
tors in the city have several cases on
their hands and there are many instances
which have failed to come under their
notice. In every instance where the
patient has stopped eating strawberries
the rash has greatly diminished or dis
appeared entirely. Whether there is any
germ of the disease in the berries which
have come TO This market is matter of
conjecture.

SToCKs-The stock market today dis
played more activity and more strength
during the two hours OF business than at
any previous time during the week, and the
prices at the close were generally ut the
highest points since the close OF last week.
The sentiment that the drain of gold on the
country has entirely ended, at least for the
present, has created more conf
dent feeling in speculative circles and
the effort TO cover shorts this morning, with
a little new buying, made the liveliest and
strongest market for some time. The deal
ings in the market, however, presented no
marked change from those of the previous
days of this week. and were still confined
principally to the Changers, Industrials
and a few other stocks. The close was
made at the highest figures, though quiet.

SPRING FEVER.

At this time of the year the
blood changes, its circulation
is sluggish, and the system is
not properly nourished. The
result is lossof appetite, weak
ness, an oppressive feeling of
fullness, too hot, and Oh! so
tired. TO cure and prevent
Spring Fever take Simmons
Liver Regulator. All nature
is now waking and everybody
should inyigorate the liver,
kidneys and bowels with Sim
mons Liver Regulator and they
would not have so much bill
iousness, headache. dyspepsia
and malaria all the rest of the
wear. You would not expect
a plant to work off a winters
decay and bloom as good as
ever without attention in the
Spring. Don't expect 1t Of
