The Bottom Steadily Sinking.

Scientists tell US that, counting from
the sea level, the lowest body Of water
on the globe Is the Caspian sea. Fol-
centuries its surface has been gradually
settling down until now it is eighty-fve
feet lower than that Of its near neigh
Dor, the Black sea, which also lies far
below the level Of the ocean. The com.
mon conclusion has all along been that
the Caspian sea was merely losing its
waters by some means, but recent in
vestigations have shown this not to be
the case.
Soundings made and compared with
records Of soundings made more than
100 years ago reveal the astounding fact
that there is still as great a depth Of
water as existed then. This leaves but
one hypothesis that would seem to be
tenable: The bottom Of the Caspian Sea
is actually sinking. There is much
speculation in scientific circles relative
to what the final result will be.-Boston

them. In the future its policy will be as
1t has been in the past-to uphold the

Cure for IngroMing ToenaIls.

Few small things can produce more
acute pain and interfere more with the
daily routine of life than an ingrowing
toenail. This trouble sometimes grows
to such dimensions that surgical aid is
needed and the removal Of the entire
nsil becomes necessary, yet it is the re-
suit of mere ca~rlessness, and even when
well advanced can be easily remedied.
Hitting shoes are the primary cause Of
this evil, aggravated by cutting the nails
u a wrong way, or letting them 20 UNI
cut for too long q time. The nails
should always be trimmed with an in.i
ward curve at the centre OF the edge.
This causes them to grow forward IN a
straight shape, instead Of enlarginging
sideways and thus growing into the flesh.
II they are too long in either direction,
front or side, they will be bent down
ward and inward to the shoe, and mort
so and more quickly by an ill-6tting shoe
than by anything else. In q severe case
of ingrowing nails a somewhat heroic
remedy is necessary. Surgeons use an
application to the tender part of 9 small
quantity of perchloride of iron. which
which may be obtained at a druggists,
either in fluid form or as q powder, but
its application produces quite a sensa,
ton Of burning pain, sufficient when oncs
experienced to induce the sufferer to fol
low the plain directions to keep the toe.
nails straight thereafter. In merely
moderate cases, however, the nail may
be cut out and if cut so as to keep
straight, the injured flesh will readily
recover its sound normal condition

Governor Alvin P. Hovey, Of Indiana,
died at LEO o'clock a few mornings ago In
his room at Tho ?snnison Hotel, ~Indianapo-
Lis, Ind. His last moments were peaceful
and conscious, and his last words were an in
curry for his favorite granddaughter, Mary
Menzlen.
AN the immediate members Of his family
were present. The direct cause OF his death
was heart trouble.
Alvin P. Hovey was a poor boy, but BY
his own efforts worked his way up until he
became one Of the most influential
prominent men Of the West. He was born
In September, 1921, at Mount Vernon. Ind,
which was his home. his early educa-
ton was limited. At thirteen ne was ap-
%prenticed as O brickmaker, but four years
later became a teacher OF the town scnooi,
having meantime devoLed his spare mo

The Autocrat ofthe Gar q Russia.

One Of the striking features in
Russian Palace of Gatschina, we are
told, is the great Danish hound that
stretches his powerful frame in the hall
leading to the private apartment Of the
Gar. This great dog, said to be che
largest of its species Ia the world, was
presented to the Czarina about four years
ago by her father, the King of Dem
mark. It is said that the Gar took 8
liking to the animal from the start, and
never goes on any prolonged journey
without its company. Having but little
confidence in those about him, he seems
to centre his faith in the dog Is
guardian of unfailing fidelity, and the
dog apparently reciprocates the attach-
ment.
It was reported last summer whom
Nihilist rumors were rife and documents
of q threatening nature found their way
to the very table Of the Cars private
cabinet, that the autocrat Of all the Rus
sias permitted the hound to sleep inthe
hall adjoining his bedroom. For some
unexplained reason the dog became very
suspicious of one Of the guardsrnen.
and growled continually when this man
was placed on duty as, q sentinel ii the
palace.
Nothing conld be shown and nothing
was suspected against the man, but TO
satisfy the dog he was withdrawn from
sentry duty. In the case OF another
sentinel it Is reported in st. Petersburg
that the hound lesped upon him and
nearly tore him to pieces the first time
he saw him. The Gar, hearing the
cries for help, went.t to the door Of his
apartment and hastily called the dog,
which obeyed his summons. The senti-
mel was found to be badly lacerated.
The Car directed that the injured man
should be cared for and compensated,
but also ordered that he never be per-
mitted to enter the palace again. The
autocrat apparently has faith in the judg-
ment of the dog, whom he has named
Peter, after the founder of Russia's
greatness.-F1rsst and Stream.

In nearly every case where the
funds held in a fduciary capacity
have disappeared the method of easy
plumber has been due to two causes:
First, the absence Of supervision, leav.
ing bank officers without external
check when exposed to the temptation
of cupidity or dishonesty; and, second,
the disposition Of the officials to use
ne funds intrusted to their charge in
speculative enterprises generally akin
to pure gambling. Back Of all this,
of course, is the prevalent social
theory that 1t is athe duty Of every
man to get rich without much regard
to the means by which he does so.

Boots Coming in Again.

Mark my words, before another year
goes by you will see all the swel!s in.
town wearing boots, says a shoemaker In
the st. Louis Go6s-D Democrat. For years
there has been scarcely any demand in
the cities for long-legged footwear,
every one except countrymen, who are
obliged to wade through the mud, wear.
ing shoes. But for the last two months
there has been a most noticeable increase
in the demand for fine grade boots, and
the manufacturers have been obliged to
make thousands of pairs on very short
notice.
The only reason for this that I have
heard is the alleged fact that boots do
much to prevent trousers bagging at the
knees. But, aside from this, they afford
a great protection in cold and wet
weather. and it is a good thing they are
coming into use again.

soldiers. They had eptrenched themselves
in a strong positioa, and when SUM.
moned to surrender refused to 10 30. Orders
were then given to attack the stronghold of
the rebels, and q long contested and desper-
ate battle ensued. The rebels fought with
desperation, knowing full well tho punish.
ment that would be inflicted upon them by
the Shah should they fall into his hands,
but they were finally defeated, not, however,
until two hundred Of their number had been
killed. The loss Of the troops was twenty
killed. A large number Of the rebels were
taken prisoners. Among the prisoners is the
