Every nation has had its own idea a.
10 how the devil. the embodiment Of
evil. looks. The Egg ptian devil seems
. hog. walking on his hind legs with the
assistance OF q staff. The Assyrian has
Q lions body with wings, q scaly neck
and q dragons >head with Lorns. The
Cingalese satan has two heads with
tusks, four arms, sits on a colt and has
venomous snakes climbing all over him.
The French Is the first Of the old devils
to exhibit the combined traits SO familiar
to US now. He has horns, the ears Of
m ass, q goats tail and ROSTERS claws,
but his loiy and head are human, with
bats wings growing from the shoulders.
This enemy OF man is shown grinning in
a most malignant and diabolical manner.
and scattering gold around to tempt his
victims within the clutches OF his claws.
In the thirteenth century, the English
devil was q horrible monster, with the
distorted body Of . man, the horned
head Ut a bull. q docked tail like u
hackney horse, only three fingers and
toes on each extremity, spikes at it's
knees and shins like the spurs OF Il game
cock. But Beelzebub has been repre-
sentei in other and far more polite
forms. There is q print from the illus
tration Of Goethe's Faust, which shows
him as a courtly gentleman, elegant in
dress and polished In manners. 1t

refinement, improved it's great foe as it
has improved, or at least refined, tho
vices with which It pays him tribute.

all countries and under all policies.
England has had as many OF them IS
the United States, and some OF them
were extended aud destructive
than any which have taken place In this
country. II those In the United States
are due to the tariff, those in Great
Britain must b. ascribed to free trade.
This explanation, II good In one case,
must be good In the other. It Ii q rule
that must work both ways II 1t works in
any way. We do not know that any
body has laid the blame for the British
strikes on the absence Of ~proteGtlon in
the custom house laws In that country.
Such affairs do not admit Of such q
ready Interpretation. Their causes are
many, and revenue laws, where theH
operate ct al. are not VI dominant or
decisive influence. Most Of tho strikes
on . large scale which have taken place
In the United States In the past fifteen
years we're due in a large degree to tho
mischievous appeals and p~lotttngs Of
professional Agitators in melting labor
against capital. They endeavor to per-
suade the workers that the employers
are the enemies Of the employees, In con-
tradiction Of the obvious fact that each
Is an ally Of the other, and thst neither
y maintain themselves without aid
from the other side.
The tariff Is responsible for labor dis
turbances to this extent Only-it has
provided better wages than could be had
without It, and thus has brought CON-
forts. Independence, and Intelligence.
Intelligence has melted In men the laud-
able desire to make the most Of the OPP
portunities and secure the best seward
possible for their labor. Organization
Is one Of It's developments. and witk 1t
has come o sense OF power which will
largest remuneration which caE. be OBJ
tanned. This spirit is pr~aiserogthy II
the condition OF the ,marlSt and the
state OF general trade IRE taken into &C.
count. These factors ire sometimes
lost sight OF. and wheL they are strikes
and 1ockouts en- ue and . sort Of indus
trial war sets In. But the intelligence
which incites labor contests carries with
1t . corrective influence. 1t will eventu-
ally show workers that strikes, oven In
the rare instances when they are sue
cessful, do not pay what they cost.
Then arbitration or some other form Of
settling disputes over wages or hours Of
work will come into vogue. The pres
emit methods In sucn controversies are
too inadequate and destructive to be
chung to much longer. At any rate the
tariff has not In any direct or alive
sense got anything to do with labor con
flicts such as that In Pennsylvania, and
reasonable men are looking In an entire
IL different direction for . remedy

rough some ideal face. The features are
afterward nodded and smoo. he'd by the
fingers, the warmth of which renders the
lard plastic. When this has been done tc
the artists satisfaction he dips his
fingers In ice.water, which chills on
fixes the features, at the came time i'm.
parting a marble.like gloss to the bust
and showing almost translucent in the

Among the subjects he has treated

Great Jumps ot Horses.

Different horses stride differently;
some are long stridcrs, such as Long
street; others are short, quick, catchy
striders. There are s, $3.50 feet in a
mile and this has been covered in
lao. Taking this as a standard, tho
Brooklyn Eagle finds that a horse to
do this must cover SO As feet in a
second. At three strides to the Sec
ond this would give ar average Of
nearly ia feet to the stride. Secre-
tary Hugh ]. Mcintyre, OF the Coney
Island Jockey Club, a close observer
and excellent authority on racing
matters, thinks it probable that a
horse does not take more than Fl
strides to the second and that he
consequently strides more than III
feet. This view is borne out by the
fact that horses have leaped more
than double that distance. Rufus,
the great Irish steeplechaser, was
said twenty years ago to have COW
cred 80 feet 6 inches in striding over
a brook; Chandler, ridden by Captain
Broadley. at Warwick, England, in
1S47, is recorded to have jumped 81
feet over water, and at Calver-
thorpe, over hurdles, to have
jumped "a feet; Lottery, in the
Grand National, Liverpool. England,
is recorded tn have covered 33 feet
in jumping the wall in that cele-
brated race. These distances seem
enormous, but when q horse G his
obstacle clearly, takes it kindly and
without baking, pulling, or changing
legs, the distance that a good jumper
will cover is wonderful. The two
stiffest obstacles known to steeple-
chase riders were the double banks Mt
Punchestown and Orchard: the latter
was tho larger, and on one occas' on
nine horses out OF eleven starters
fell over this fence, yet an eye wit
ness saws he saw Chimney Sweep fly
this enormous obstacle, merely kick
ing it with one hind foot as he flew
over 1t. About twenty-flv I've years ago
the great double hank at Punches
town was flown from field to field by
the Irish stecplechaser Goldfnder.
the only horse that ever accomplished
that feat. These facts tend to show
that a horse In running strides much
more than his own length, rather
than makes many different move
Dents in a second.

One of the authors OF 1.-THE Car
and His People, gives the following
instance Of Tolstoi's Independence Of
thought and action:
Gen. Loris Melikof had been given
such unbounded power to act against
the Nihilists that, az he said, he was
virtually created vice emperor. He
discovered In the course Of his Official
Investigations that one of the leading
Nihilist chiefs was in the habit Of
visiting Tolstui, and one day Melikof1
himself went out to tine n0yelist's
country house. Before the visitor
had announced himself Tolstoi recog-
nized him and said:
You are Loris Mellkof. Do you
come to see me o~fscially or as a pri-
vate man? II you COME oflcially
here are my keys. Search. open every
thing. You are free to do So"
II do not come oficially," replied
MellkOff.

and calling two stalwart servants be
said TO them: Throw this man out

The order was. otcyed TO the letter.
and MelikOR dared not aeek redress
