Two Members Badly Beaten and Their
Hall at Waterbury, Conn.,, Wrecked.
Waterbury, Conn, dispatch: Several SOL
dies of the Salvation Army came here Sat-
urday, and leasing the old Casino Theater,
began TO hold meetings There was an un-
ruly crowd there Saturday night but only
few cat calls and whistles marred the
meeting. The officers of the army pursued
their religious exercises during the meeting,
and by patience succeeded In making what
they considered, fairly successful opening
of their campaign. The dozen members of the
Ansonia army we're consequently sent back
to join their own field Monday morning
Captain Lambaud and Adjutant Sammons
were left to conduct the meetings alone
They had not got well on the stage Monday
night when the lights we're turned out, and
chairs and bottles and other missiles began
to fly. The mob rushed onto the stage and
beat the Salvationists until they were COM
PEELED to fee through the windows into a
small alley. The police came to the aid OF
the salvationists. when the whole interior
OF the theater was found TO be a wreck
The Salvationists we're taken home by the
police, followed by a crowd of nearly two
thousand people.

In olden Rome and Greece parents
used to suspend charms about the necks
of their children bearing their names,
and also the device of some god. These
served twofold purpose-frst, the pro-
lection of the god was invoked, but If
the god did not properly attend to his
business, and permitted the child to get
lost, the name of his parents would serve
as e guide for his safe return. These
charms were of gold, silver, and other
metals, according to the wealth of the
parents. The older people also wore
charms to insure good luck, and it seems
to have been the general custom of all
pagan nations in old days. Even the
early Church did not discountenance
the wearing of Christian relics as
amulets until the eighth century; and
after that the custom was much practised,
though not recognized by those in
authority. In Oriental countries to-day
everybody wears IN amulet to guard
against sickness and other misfortunes,
and in our own land some people are
superstitious enough to believe in certain
properties said to be possessed by
precious stones. When you come to
consider the matter, it is very foolish
to believe that an opal will bring you trial
and Ill luck, but some people actually
do. The colored people of the South are
extremely superstitious, and they wear
all sorts of curious amulets to guard
against witches, in which they are firm
believers. Ii is much the same as carry
ing around q horse-chestnut as charm
against rheumatism as many do. There
was man, a bright intelligent person,
who believed in the horse-chestnuto charm
30 thoroughly that he always kept one
in his pocket, and just as regularly as
the fall came around he would be laid
up with rheumatism for weeks, yet he
believed In the charm. The amulets
that the Egyptians wore were as firmly
believed in and just as much used as
the horse chestnut charm of this civil
lized man, or the rabbits foot worn by
the negro of the SOUTH Harper's
Young People.

noise, which one of the Witnesses com.
pared to the rustic OF leayes, and another
to the sound produced by the swapping
chords of harp while being tuned. All
were agreed as TO the duration of the
apparition, which they judged had lasted
about ten minutes.
The black draperies, the detruncatsd
head, the spurts of blood staining the
floor, had all vanished with the phan-
toms. The slipper Of Charles XI. alone
retained the crimson blot which by itself
would have sufficed to remind him of the
scenes of that dreadful night, had they
not been already too well engraved in his
memory.
When he returned to his study, the
king caused minute report to be written
of what he had witnessed; made his CON-
panions sign 1t, and himself affixed his
signature to it. Despite the precautions
taken to keep the contents Of this docu-
ment from the public, they managed in
some mysterious manner to leak out,
even during the lifetime of Charles XII.
The document is still extant, and up to
this day nobody has ventured to raise a
doubt as to its commences. Its closing
paragraph Is remarkable. Says the
king:
"And, if what / have related be not
the exact truth, renounce oil hope of
better life, the which may have de-
served through some good deeds, and,
above all. through my zeal in laboring
for the welfare of my people, and the
defence of the faith of my ancestors"
Now then, if we recall the death of
Gustavus Ill, and the judgment of An
karstroem, his assassin, we shall find
more than our point of contact between
this event and the circumstances attend
ing that singular prophecy.
The young man, beheaded in the
presence of the assembly, points to An
karstroem.
The crowned corpse, to Gustavus III.
The boy, to his son and successor,
Gustavus Adolphus Nv.
Lastly, the old man, to the Duke of
Sodermanland, uncle of Gustavus w.,
who was regent of the kingdom, and af-
forwards king, upon the deposition of
his nephew.

The Newest Weapons OF Warfare.

German investigators have been fgur-
ing upon the probable effect of the new
est weapons in the next war. In 1870
the proportion of soldiers wounded on
the German side was 14.OS per cent. of
the total number in the field. Only 90
per cent. were actually killed. Since
then an immense improvement has been
effected in arms of precision, and it is
believed that in future engagements the
proportion of wounded will be greater
than heretofore, but that the wounds
will be less severe, as bullets, owing to
their small size and great velocity, will
often pass through bones without splin-
tering them. 1t is estimated that about
20 per cent Of the troops will be wound
ed in the next campaign, and that little
moro than 3 per cent. will be killed. That
is to say, that in an army corps of 35,'
600 men, 1, 200 will be killed, and $500
wounded. About one-third of the wounds,
it is thought, are likely TO be serious.

determination is the impending fate
of the Texan peccaries, according to re-
cent publication of the National Museum
by Mr.. Frederick A. Lucas, on animals
recently extinct or threatened with ex-
termination. He finds that in nearly
every instance the cause is RECKLESS
slaughter by man." As an instance of
the way in which animals may be de-
stroyed, he refers in the introduction to
peccaries. In 1885 these little animals
were 30 abundant in several counties of
Texas that their well-worn tails were
everywhere to be seen, while their favor
ite haunts could be readily picked out
by the peculiar musky odor character
:stic of the creature. Shortly after that
date, hogskin goods being in favor, q
price of 80 cents each was offered for
peccary hides, with the result that by
1890 the peccaries were practically ex-
terminated.
