European diplomatic world, as a frank
avowal of Russian designs upon Turkey The
writer sees no objection to the Turks con-
tinuing to live among the populations of
the Balkan peninsula, who, in many re-
spects, are much worse than themselves.
Let the Sultan, he says, reign over the
Mussulmans just as the Khan of Khiva or
the Amir of Bokhars reign over their re-
spective subjects. As soon as he has satis-
fed himself that the hopes he placed in
the western powers are illusory, and that
in the absence of sound finance it is i'm
possible for him to maintain the fiction
of an Ottoman empire, he will of his
own accord ask Russia to accept him as her
vassal. When the Sultan finds himself in
presence of the alternative of becoming
somebody's vassal or of liquidsting his
affairs, he will probably prefer the car,
for he is we'll aware that in Russia the
Mussulmans have happy existence. The
article then goes on to declare that the
Bulgarians and other Balkan nationalities
were freed too soon from Turkish rule,
and that the Christians still remaining un-
der it ought to be protected from all Roman
Catholic or Protestant attacks. 1t con-
cludes with hint that Russia alone is able
to guarantee to the Sultan the permanent
enjoyment of his European possessions.

REFoRMATI0N BY ELECTRICITY

REFORMATION BY ELECTRICITY
Almost every day new use of electricity
is reported. A few days ago a jockey was
caught with an electric battery under his
jacket, and it is supposed that the spur
connected with the battery made the horse
he rode uncommonIy lively. And quite as
ingenious scheme is in operation at
tthome" for refractory children in Verona,
New Jersey. 1t is said to be the invention
of the superintendent, G. NJ. Harrison.
He uses an ordinary electric battery, famil-
lar to physicians and families. The handles
are removed, and in the place of one of
them is metal plate covered with thin
sponge. The other substitute is brush
made of fine wire. When boy is to be
punished he is led into a room by the
superintendent and the physician of the
home. No one else is present. The door
is closed, and the proceedings thenceforth
are silent and solemn. The dampened
sponge is applied to the back of the boys
neck, and the wire brush to some other
portion of his body. The sensation which
follows is both surprising and unpleasant.
The culprit is frightened and subdued.
He loses all desire to be disobedient, and
is thenceforth, for time at least, tract
able. The discovery that this method
of punishment is being practiced is
causing no little excitement. Super
intendent Harrison says the punishment
is not cruel. He admits that it is severe,
but claims that the battery which he uses
is incapable of inficting injury on the
weakest person. It is the novelty and
mystery which impresses the boys and pre-
vents them from misbehaving after an ap-
plication of electricity. He says: 81 had a
boy here not long ago who drew knife on
one of the other boys on the playground.
He was thoroughly incorrigible, but one
visit to the room where we apply the bat
terry was sufficient. He behaved after
that. We do not use the battery often,
and only do so in the most extreme cases."
Reformation by electricity is certainly
interesting, but it is evident that it should
be very carefully and skillfully carried on.

a prominent young club man of this
city, who is noted tor his fauItless attire,
was exhibiting a costly, gold-lnounted-
handled silk umbrella, which was ingeui-
ously fastened with tiny silver paddock,
to number of friends with the remarks:
IF it had not been for this locking device.
l would have lost this valuable umbrella
long ago. Picking up the wrong umbrella
on q rainyday is as time-honOred q habit as
the borrowing of your neighbor's lead
pencil and returning IL back into your own
pocket To test this question TO nv full
satisfaction, i strolled into the lobby of a
well-known hotel one wet stormy day, and,
swapping the little lock through the wire
spring under the fold of the umbrella, i
placed 1t in a prominent rack among q
number of others. On looking over q
morning newspaper, 1 pretended 10 be
deeply interested in its columns. / had

dressed gentleman picked up my umbrella
and OF he went. 1t was raining in tor

or two he returned, rsmming it back and

took another one from the rack and was
gone for good You may not believe me,
but for one hour that umbrella came and

BIG JOHNS PERILOUs FEAT.
An Indian Shoots the Dangerous La
chine Rapids In MIDI Winter,

An Indian Shoots the Dangerous La
chine Rapids in Mid-Winter.
tLachine Letter to the Chicago Tribunel
To shoot the Lachine rapids in the st.
Lawrence river in a fat boat is NO tri-
fling matter and live to tell about it af-
terwards, but to shoot these world ia
nous rapids in the middle of winter,
with the boiling tempestuous waters filed
with larS ~ cakes of ice and driftwood, is
still more hazardous. Yet "Big john"
the Caughnawaga Indian, has for the last
fourteen years on every New Years day
made this perilous trip. Peculiar as it
may seem, Big John has always taken
some one with him on these trips. This
year he made the same dangerous shoot,
but it will be his last. On the morning
of the first of the year Big John, who
lives down the river from Lschine, came
up to the village to see if any one had
come up from Montreal to accompany
him. He found two young men, utter
strangers to him and to each other.
One, George Wait, was from Montreal,
while the other. Frederick Goyer, came
from "back countrie."
house, a distance of three miles Here
they launched their boat, and the party
was increased by one more, Big Johns son
Murray. 1t took only half an hour to
work out through the ice and heavy wa
ter to reach the top of the rapids. As
the boat approached them Big John stood
up in the stern with his long paddle in
his hand, ready for the shoot. Rocks
glistened on all sides with their 10y. coats;

Goyer was kept busy bailing out with
Wait, while Murray obeyed the com
mands of his father. Goyer describes the
passage as follows:
"From the time We struck the rapids
until we reached the lower end of them
John seemed being inspired. His eyes
were fairly glistening and shooting fire.
I thought they would leap from their
sockets with the tremendous excitement.
His long, thin paddle would sweep the

air like fash and be buried in the fosu-
ing water, swinging the boat hither and
tnither, avoiding this jutting rock and
then that one. A continuous stream of
commands in French flowed from his Inns
to his SON Murray, who was nearly ths
equal of his father in dexterity. Now
and then he directed me in broken Eng.
iish to do something. He was a picture
that no artist would ever forget, and that
would haunt him until he had reproduced
it on canvas"
The trip was one of excitement and per-
II from beginning to end, the boat passing
from one rapid to another in Succession
It filled continually with water and kept
wait and Goyer busy bailing. When they
reached the whirlpool, the last and most
dangerous spot, Big John gave his final
command, and it came near also being his
last on earth. He shouted to Murray. the
boy, to paddle hard, and as the lad shift
ed his position to take a longer and
stronger stroke he lost his balance and fen
over on his back in the bottom of the
boat. The mighty Indian, quick as a
wink, threw himself down fiat in the boat
and thus saved it from being capsized, the
heavy waves throwing twenty buckets of
water all over the party. Big John wss
up again in a second, and with two or
three powerful strokes he spun the boat
around and sent her nose straight into the
waves again. The whole incident did mot
occupy more than six seconds, and then
the boat shot down into the home channel
in few seconds more Big John threw
his paddle into the bottom of the boat.
and, almost exhausted from the violent
exertion and excitement, sank down on to
the stern sheets. All danger was passed,
but he fully realized what close shave
the party had had as he pointed back at
the whirlpool and said: "Je croyais ou'on
allait au ciel tout rond.n which was
translated, 'T thought we were going 10
heaven, boat and ali" The boat was
pulled out at Jacques Cartier's landing by
wiling hands Big John gave Goyer his
paddle as a reminder of the trip, and an
nounced that that was the last time he
would ever shoot the Lachine rapids in

Who would not haste to do some mighty thing.
II safe occa ion gave it to his hand,
knowing that at its close, his name would ring
Coupled with praises through a grateful land
Who would not hear with joy some great COM
Lnand,
Bidding him dare to earn glorious name.
The task is easy that secures us fame.
Bat, ah! how seldom comes the trumpet call
That stirs the pulse and fills the veins with

When victory asks fierce effort. once for all
And smiling fortune points away to fame
Along some path of honor, free from blame.
To one, the call to do great deeds speaks loud,
To one, amid vast unhouored crowd.
Far otherwise the common lot of man,
Our hourly toll but seeks the means to live:
Our dull mopotonous labor knows no plan
Save that which stern necessity doth give.
Our earnings fill an everleaking seive;
Our task fulfilled another still sucreeds,
And brief sglect brings overgrowIh OF weeds.
What wonder, then, If suffering men repinr,
And hnpelessness gives way TO mad despair
That placed them where the saws of fretting

Across their brows deepening channel wear
For them, no springtide speaks of hope re-
newed,
Bat changeless, wIntry skies above them brood.
Oh fools, and blind. This world is not the goal,
But shapes us for larger world unknown;

Who seeks to please his worthless self alone.

SILVER.

It is evident that the next step toward
the solution of the silver problem should
be the repeal or suspension of the act of
1890. This act has not improved the sit
uation, although much was expected of it.
It provided for the purchase by the gov
ernment of 4,500, 900 ounces of silver per
month, equivalent to the entire output of
the American silver mines, and the issue
of silver certificates based upon the bullion
value of that silver, and maintained at par
with gold. This was expected to take the
surplus silver out of the market, brace up
the price of the metal and at the same
time furnish the country with stable
and convenient currency. But the bill
has been q decided failure 80 far as its
influence on the price of bullion is
concerned. Last week silver was sold
in Wall street at 85i cents per ounce,
equivalent to 65.93 cents for the value of
the bullion in silver dollar. And the
extra money has apparently not been
needed.
The government has now two thousand
tons of silver bullion on hand, and must
keep adding to its immense stock~as long
as the present condition of things pre-
walls. Further accumulation of silver
should be stopped and effort made to
establish an international agreement con-
cerning the use of silver. This appears to
be the only way out of a very troublesome
and dangerous situation into which this
country has been led by the greed of the
silver men and the efforts of politicians
to get along smoothly.
