Many troubles md vexations were
caused by visit witch was paid the
other day by tho czar to the military
camp at Izora. TIL, latter place is a
village on tho Neva about ten miles
from st. Petersburg, isnd accessible by
water or rail- On the occasion OF the
visit soldiers were placed on the rail-
way. Not far from the city are num-
Der of mills, the workmen at which live
on the opposite side of tho lire, going
home daily for their meals. These work
men got to their work on Saturday morn
ing, but were not allowed to cross the
line again the whole day, being obliged
to go without their food or buy it IN a
public house. no traffic was allowed.
Even people who had their own farm
lands on the sides of the railway were
forbidden to walk across. The trains
from Moscow were stopped and were
sent off all within q quarter of an hour
of each other in the evening. The river
traffic was also entirely suspended. It
can be readily imagined what discom-
fort such suspension of traffic occasioned,
and it is only q Russian official who can
see the good Of it.-London News.

Como German Spelling.

In the German empire no department
of life escapes the vigilant eye of gov
ernmcrt departments. One OF the latest
instances OF this benevolent supervision
is circular which has just been issued
by the colonial Office at Berlin. From
this document we learn that the foreign
Office, at the request of the colonial coun-
Gil, appointed committee Of experts,
and presided over by Dr.. Herzog, secre-
tary of the colonies, to consider the spell
ing of geographical names in the Ger
man protectoratcs. The deliberations of
the committee have resulted in a code Of
rules, which start from the principle
that all spelling is to be as nearly as pos
Bible phonetic, and to reproduce the pro-
nunciation OF the natives, not of Euro
peans.
Then there are detailed directions for
the use of the particular vowels and con-
sonants, of accents and hyphens. A
promise is given that a gazetteer will be
con- npiied in compliance with the direc-
tions above given. A standing commit
tee is to superintend the work and issue
from time to time lists of approved spell
in.;s, which will bo enforced on officials,
and which it is hoped mapinakers, jour-
nalists'an authors will llfoilow.-London

Candles purnsns, In a Cemetery.

Every one of the several hundred
graves in the Cemetery of the Most Holy
Redeemer, on East Biddle street, has
been decked with flowers and lighted
with candles during the past two days.
The big congregations Of st. Michaels
and st. James Catholic churches, who
use the cemetery, have decorated the
graves in honor of All Souls Day. For
two days men, women and children have
been coming and going, some on foot
and some in carriages, while many car
ried lunch with them and spent a whole
day with the dead. At nightfall the
candles sent up pale futter of light
from each mound. The visit to the
burying place is a survival of the for
mer custom of celebrating mass and of
fering prayers for the repose of the souls
in purgatory.-Baltmore Sun.

nrecxer.e1 win Be cheaper.


Housekeepers will be glad to learn
that mackerel, salt or fresh, which for
the last few years has been an expensive
article of food, and which is a. most APP
petizing and desired one as well, viii
shortly be perceptibly cheaper. Mack
erel it seems begin to run in our waters
about the middle of April, at first ap-
pearing in immense nun bers. but small
size. For years the fishermen gathered
them in at the earliest possible moment,
thereby preventing them from reaching
O good growth, and wasting thousands
of small fish that were almost worthless
on the market.
To prevent this q law was passed pro-
hibitfng the catching of Inackerel until
tie 1st Of June, by which time good
growth is obtained. As, however, by
that date they have become scarce III
this vicinity, the price became corre-
spendingly high. Next April the five
year embargo expires, and we will have
abundant and cheap mackerel until the
fishermen again overreach themselves.
A fish dealer said recently: ''It was
wicked tho way these fish We're wasted;
for twenty-five cents, a few years ago,
you could come into my shop and buy q
half peck of mackerel, small and big, as
they came. Then they grew so scarce
that about the time the law went into
effect single plump fish brought one
dollar sometimes. There is talk now Of
passing a law to prevent the sale of the
small CLANS, which have increased in
price from six dollars per barrel whole
sale to thirteen dollars on account OF
their reckless use. That will make the
Little Nccks an expensive luxury for
awhile, buti5 will save the breed. New

How Gold Coin Loses It's weight.

The loss which gold coin suffers in
circulation was illustrated in the Gus
tom house yesterday. George w. Shell
don & Co. sent S15, ,0G0 in gold coin to
pay duties on imports, and the amount
was counted and sent over to the sub
treasury. A little while later the sub
treasury sent it back with notice that
the amount was 81 1886 short. On in
vestigation it was found that though the
face value of the coin was $15, 1000 by
weight the gold lacked nearly $1,000 of
that value. The paying bank was noti-
fed and sent gold certificate for the
balance. Chicago Tribune.

WAsHlNeroN.s MOTHER.
How She Net Her Son After His Seven
Years Absence.

How She Met Her Son After His Seven
Years Absence.
When the tidings Of the splendid sue
cess at Yorktown were brought direct
from the general to his mother, she was
moved to an exclamation Of fervent
thanksgiving: "Thank God! the war is
ended, and we shall be blessed with
peace, happiness and independence, for
at last our country is free" says Mrs.
Ella Bassett Washington in the Gem
fury. Shortly after the surrender of
Cornwallia, Washington left Yorktown
with brilliant suite of French and
American officers, and started upon his
journey to Philadelphia, stopping on
the way at fredericksburg to visit his
mother. 1t was nearly seven years
since he had last seen her face; he left
Mount Vernon in May, ITS, and did not
return till the autumn of 1881. Now
that the time of meeting drew near, his
mother was serene but very quiet, only
smiling to herself oftener than usual
But it was not the hero crowned that
after years Of absence and danger, was
coming back to her. On the 18th of
November, 1871, the town of Fredericks-
purB was Ill dSIO" WIFI Joy ana reVel-
ry. Washington, Gin the midst of his
numerous and brilliant SUITE" wrote
Mr.. GUSTS, ''sent to- apprise her This
motherl of his arrival, and to know
when it would be her pleasure to re-
ceive him. Alone and on foot,
the general in chief of the combined
armies of France and America" he goes
on to say in the grandiloquent style of
the day, "the deliverer of his country,
the hero Of the hour, repaired to pay his
humble tribute of duty to her whom he
venerated as the author of his being"
etc. When the warm embrace of greet
ing was over looking into his face with
earnest, close observance, her eyes en-
kindled with maternal love, she said,
tenderly: "You are growing old, George;
care and toll have been making marks
in your face since saw it last" Her
voice Is said to have been singularly
sweet, and he loved it's cadence as she
called him by name. She inquired as to
his health, and she spoke much ''of old
times and old friends, but of his glory
not one word"

EARLY IRON WORK.
Important Position of the Blacksmith IN
Early Times.

Early Times.
The blacksmith occupied an i'm
portant position among the craftsmen
of the middle ages, says Chambers
Journal The insecurity of life and
property, which was one of the chief
grievances of the times, made strength
of material Indispensable, whether to
guard the shrine of q saint or to pro-
tect after more homely fashion the
family chest or Golfer. The strength
and durability Of iron led to It's use for,
these defensive purposes from early
times. But the workman of the middle
ages was not content to allow strength
and ugliness Of form to go together, but
rcntrived to breathe spirit of beauty
into his designs without sacrificing the
use to which the material was des-
tined. Thus wrought iron formed the
object Of much artistic work both in
England and abroad. Until coal came
into general use malleable iron was
produced direct from the ore with char
coal fuel by continuous working. Sus-
ecX was from early times chief seat of
the iron industry. The earliest positive
record of the trade there is contained in
grant made by King Henry III. to
the town Of Lewes in 1865, by which
the inhabitants were empowered to-
raise toll for the repair of the town
wallis after the battle. Every CARLOAD
of iron destined for sale which came
from the neighboring "weald" was to-
pay enc penny toll, and every horseload
of iron half that sum. In 1891 a sum of
money was paid to certain Master
Henry Of Lewes for the ironwork to
the monument of Henry III. in West
minister Abby, which reminds us that
talented smiths were brought often
from long distances for important
works.

The report Of the statistician Of the Agricul-
tural Department giving the comparative acre
age of corn, potatoes and tobacco and the con-
dition en- the first day of July of corn, winter
and spring wheat, oats, rye. barley, potatoes,
tobacco, the grasses. fruits and other minor
crops has Just been issued. The re-
turns show the acreage of corn, as COM
pared with the actual area Of last year,
to be $50 per cent. The reduction Of area is
not equally distributed, being mostly confined to
the great compromising regions of the country.
This decrease, the report says. has been con-
siderably offset by the increased acreage in the
south. where during the last year eleven cotton
states have given considerable breadth 20 the
cultivation of corn. The condition Of the crop.
81. ! per cent, is the lowest July average ever
reported by the department. The condition OF
wheat is very favorable, there being only a
slight decline in several Of the minor producing
states. The condition of oats, S7.2 per cent,
is the lowest July condition with one excep-
ton ever reported. The month shows a
slight increase i'll rye. The condition,
has changed but little during the month but
the average reported is the. highest ever known
in July since 1885. The acreage OF potatoes il
very low, there being decrease in the largest
yielding states, the carly appearance Of the po-
tato bug has ruined many crops. This month,
the report continues, is generally considered the
largest yielding one in the year. The returns
from tobacco. although very favorable, are
smaller than for the corresponding month last
year.
Tho report, in conclusion. gives the reports on
cotton for the month so far as received, which
however. are very imperfect.
