Why Russia is Not More Wariike.

The war department Of Russia has rejected
half Of the output Of new small-caliber rifles in
1892. The rifles were made in the government
factories and are too defective to be placed with
safety in the hands Of the army. All the fac
tories will be recognized before the work on
the rifles will be resumed. The rearming 81 the
infantry will be DELAYED some three years.

have influenced the car to assume y more

concluded, and with only one vote to secure
and the whole country in which to obtain it,
their hope was far from visionary.
THE CALL OF STATES.
Under the law the call Of states in the Joint
session was to be in their alphabetical order
When Florida was reached two sets of returns
we're presented and both were sent to the COM
mission for determination. The republican
managers then exposed their position, They
argued that the returns o. eanvassed and de-
clared by the state officers lawfully appointed
for that purpose must be accepted as conclu-
sive: that the certificate Of the governor even
was only ministerial and might or might not be
considered, but never to the confirmation OF
the lawful canyassing board having judicial
power to declare results. On this line they
proposed to fight the battle. The only hope Of
the democrat was that the commission would
90 behind the returns and Investigate for itself
their correctness. The power Of Congress itself
to question the electoral returns Of state had
never been exer ,ised. and 1t was very doubtful
In the act treating the commission the sub
tect was touched very gingeriy and Congress
delegated cautiously to the commission only
such power In the matter - it possessed, il
for itself its extent, democrats joining with re-
pubiicans In supprsssing any definite instruc-
tions In the matter. Upon motion to 60 be-
hind the returns ~ presented the commission
voted against the propositions to tho
members dividing entirely on the line Of party
prediction, and the vote Of Florida was con-
sequently given to Mr.. Hayes. This decision
insured him also the vote Of Louisiana and
South Carolina whom it should be reached, -
the returns from these states favorable to Mr..
Hayes were undoubtedly those certified by the
proper state officers. whatsoever were the facts on
which The action was based.
Interest then ssntsrsd upon The result in

To Kill Lice ON Animals.

To destroy lice on horses the following
is recommended by the chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry at Washington:
Rub the horse with sulphur ointment, or
with sulphur of potassium, ounces;
water, gallon; or with tar water, or
the skin may be sponged with benzine.
The application should be repeated a
week later to destoy all lice Matched from
the nits in the interval. Professor G. P.
Gillette Of the Iowa experiment station
reports the destruction of the hog louise
by use Of the kerosene emulsion. He
uses 12 per cent emulsion and applies
the liquid with force pump.
For parasites affecting the skin of
sheep, very common Ameyican remedy
is the tobacco dip, to be used after the
shearing. To 100 gallons of water there
is added 35 pounds of strong tobacco
thoroughly stepped in a portion of the
water and 10pounds of sulphur-the liq-
uid to be used at temperature of about
no degrees and not exceeding 100 de-
grees. There are, however, various mod
ifcations of this formula in use in differ
emit sections Of the country, in some of
which small quantities of lime and con-
centrated I've enter into the composition.

A Witty Excuse.

"A why GACub0s
Tom Marshall of Kentucky was as witty
as he was eloquent, and as ill starred as he
was capable. He might have been the first
man in the land but for his unfortunate
habit of inebriety-a habit that toward the
last became his chronic condition.
He had the faculty of making friends
and retaining them, and among those who
stuck by him to the end was DR.. Tweedy of
Jessamine county, quite as distinguished
IN his own sphere as was Marshall.
Tom was taken down almost year be-
fore his death with rheumatic govt, and DR.
Tweedy was called over from Nicholasville
to attend him.
The patient submitted reluctantly to the
treatment, which involved entire abstinence
from the exciting cause.
After few weeks Marshall began to
mend, and on coming in one morning the
doctor was delighted to find that the disease
had disappeared and that his patient was
in high spirits.
The cause of this hilarity was evident in
the glasses and bottles on the table. A
friend in Cincinnati had sent Tom as a
present case of the finest mixed liquors
"Come. doctor!'' cried Marshall. 'You
must try glass of this cognac It is the
finest and mellowest that ever passed a
mans lips"
''Ah, Tom," said the doctor, ''this will
never do. Have you SO soon forgotten that
this stuff is the cause of all your sufferinga"
SIS it indeeds"
SIT is"

sooner we get rid of it the betterr'

Stories of the plumbers made by green
volunteers on guard duty are always in
order at the campfres of veterans of the
civil war. At such an occasion recently
a member of the middle Tennessee regi-
ment, which was commanded by Colonel
Gillem, told the following story:
For a time we were stationed in the
city of Nashville, doing guard duty.
There was raw recruit in our ranks
an Irishman and a very good fellow
whom we all liked. He was bound to
be good soldier and had the strongest
desire to be efficient in all things.
One day he was put on guard duty on
one Of the principal streets in the city.
He had never been in the same situation
and thought it his duty to challenge
every one who came along, just as he
would in camp.

preached.

"But I don't know the countersign, -
said the citizen, ''and il I did I think it
isvery strange and unusual that it should
be demanded in a public place like this. -
"Well, be jabers then, said Mike. eye

grin.
