A NOTED ANARCHIST.-Dyer ID. Lum,
the noted anarchist, who was found
dead in IA hotel in New York Sunday,
formerly lived at Montpelier. He was
born in Geneva, N. Y, SO years ago,
and was book binder by trade. He
served in IA New York regiment in the
civil war, and although entitled to a
pension would never accept one, say
ing that he wanted nothing from a
corrupt government" After leaving
Mont pelier he went to Portland, Me-,
Spring field and Northampton, Mass,
living at the latter place for d num-
Der of years. In 1876 he was candi-
date for lieutenant governor of Mass
achusetts on the ticket with Wendell
Phillips for governor, In 1884 he
went to Chicago and associated with
Parsons in the big anarchist move
ment. He was one of the editors of
The Alarm at the time of the massa-
ere of the Chicago policemen, and it
is thought that he narrowly escaped
the fate OF the several anarchists who
were hung. He was warm friend of
Most, Relies and Prince Krapotkin.
After the execution of Parsons, Lum
continued to manage The Alarm, and
in 1888 transferred it to New York,
where he published two radical books
entitled IAN apology for the Nor
mons" and ga history of the trials
of the Chicago anarchists.

Effect of Tobacco on Boys.

The bow who smokes does so be
cause of q belief that it adds to his
Importance and hastpns him forward
to manhood. 1t is useless to tell him
that the practice is offensive and
dirty, that it causes ladies to look
upon him with disfavOr, that it may
open the way to habits and assOcia-
tions that bring shame and ruin; he
will not he moved by such reasoning.
There is one argument, however,
that moves him, and that is growing
more potent and persuasive every
wear. Tell him that it saps his phys
ir"i s~irrrggh. and he listens. Tell
nm chat il boat races, and % mes of
baseball, cricket, bicycling and other
athletics, the habitual smoker
stands no chance against the young
man of pure, clearly and temperate
habits, and he feels the STRINGS of
another ambition. He hopes some
day to be- an athlete and to win in
trials of physical strength and skill.
Some Investigations have recently
been made which convey a startling
warning to smoking boys. From
mppsnr.mputS of 1877 students in
Yale col g It WAS tuuur' that those
who ltt tubHccu aIon" gained over
those who u ed it, during the college
year of 1892. twenty-five per cent.
in weight, twrnty-nine and one-halt
per cent in height, nineteen per cent.
in girth of chest, and sixty-six per
cent in lung capacity. Measure
ments at Amherst college showed
even greater difference in favor of
those who did not use tobacco.
With such evidence as this before
him, no sensible boy is likely to try
to cultivate the tobacco habit, or
cling to it if he has already acquired
it. Give the boys more Opportuni-
ties for athletics, and they will require
less tobacco.-Troy Times.

In the Mormon Tabernacle.

"There was never building like it
in the world," said the bishop. "It
WAS Brigham Young's idea"
In we went and stood in the enOr-
nous interior in which 5000 persons
may sit on any day, and 10000 can
be seated if stools are brought in.
Not even Henry Ward Beecher's old
Plymouth church is more plain and
bare. 1t is just great hall with
wide gallery around three sides, with
little wooden posts, which look like
marble, to support the gallery; with
battalions of pews on the floors, and
Il gigantic organ at one end rising
above the greatest choir space | ever
saw in a church. And that, in turn,
is above a terraced series of platforms
leading down to the main floor, like
a very broad but short staircase.
A man stood at the end of the
church. He said: go up in the gal
Iery and walk to the other end of the
building. 1t is $50 feet long and 40
feet wide, yet when | whisper you Will

properties of the building" l walked
the length of the church. My foot
steps were repea ted so many times in
echoes that the reverbpratiOn sounded
like drummer's oll-cal-almost as
if twas a whole regiment a-march-
ing. From where | stood at last the
man who had spoken looked like a
bow. He held up his hand. Answer
ME in II natural tone when speak to
you. am going to whisper" (Then
the whisper came, distinctly, Can
you hear me whisper? l am going
to drop a pin on this altar rail, see if
you hear it, He held the pin two
inches above the rail and dropped it.
[ heard it as if-as | never supposed
pin could make itself heard a foot
away. "And now" said the man,
"see and hear what l do now" He
rubbed his hands together, and a
sound like a loud rustic of silk fioated
through the hall Afterwards | sat
by that amiable and ingenious man,
and saw him go through the perform

in the building.-Harper's Weekly.

The Butter Market.

The batter market is really easier than
of late. but there is a strange scarcity Of
good stock Prices range well toward the
maximum and rather uneven. About 81
cents is the cost of good western, while
choice northern creamery costs 32 to S
cents pound Good dairy from Vermont
sells from % to 80 cents, with number of
sales at a much smaller figure. On the
condition of things one good authority
advices the producer not to market his
stock as fast a. made.
