End of De Mannassant.

De Maupassant was very thoroughly
discussed at the time he was taken in
sane, and now that he is dead at the age
of 48 there is nothing to add save that
the operation of great natural law is
completed. He was a master of con-
densation in literary style. His short,
terse sentences are matchless, but most
of his stories are earthly and doubly per-
nicious by reason of the mastery skill
with which they are told. No man could
portray such frightful dramas of pas
sion without entering into the emotions
expressed. His own soul caught every
reflection, and the strain was too much
for him. "A prematurely wornout nerv-
Gus system" was the cause of his death.
His career was only for 10 years, but
he leaves behind mass of brilliant filth
that will do harm for many decades

Fnte Of n Russian Scholar.

"Why does Russia linger in igno-
rance?" answered David 8. Jordan. "Let
me tell you story. When l was in
college at Cornell, there came bright
young Russian TO study by the name Of
Dabrolohoff. This young man was Of
quick perceptive powers and deeply in
terested in the progressive practical sci
ences and questions. He studied very
hard for four years, did much more
work than any single term required
and graduated with the honors of his
class. He removed to New York and
entered into successful practice of civil
engineering.
"Some time later learned that he had
gone back to his native land. heard
no more of this young man outside of a
few scientific articles in some European
magazines for nearly 10 years. While
making a tour of Europe bethought
myself of him and wondered why his
brilliant parts had not long since brought
him into prominence. In Russia made
inquiries and there learned to my aston
ishment and sorrow that the student had
been suspected of treason, tried and sem
fenced to Siberia, where he had died in
filth and chains. st. Louis Globe-Dem-

Making Imitation Diam onds.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, a German
jeweler who fourished at the beginning
of the present century. It is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal, of irreproachable purity, COM
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients. It's preparation
demands infinite care and a multitude
of precautions, to avoid the possibility
of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass, from which
are then cut the false gems in the pro-
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce a much better
effect than do large ones.
For the best forms of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same workmen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier, owing to the comparative
softness Of strass, quality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
of things imitation emeralds, rubies and
sapphires are often set with layer or
slice cut from a real precious stone of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top of the false gem, so as to cover 1t
completely.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Falcons In japan,

In the olden times in Japan all the dali
mios (similar to the old English lord) had
great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons. The falcons were tanned well
and used to catch large birds, mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons, the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers. As soon
as one sees any bird he lets the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down to the ground.
Meanwhile the holder runs to the place
where they are and catches both Of them.
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it, but the men ip
charge of falcons Of course take great
care in feeding and tanning them.-Chi-

Gold In Maine.

That story Of gold mining on En-
chanted Ponds township is not by any
means the first that has been heard about
gold finds in the Moose river valley. AS
long ago as 1850 man named Berry
claimed to have found gold in ledge in
that region in such quantities that he
chopped out pieces with his ak, which
he sold to Augusta jewelers." To be
sure critical persons may say this state
ment is only that he sold the AK to the
Augusta man, not pieces of gold; but
why not gold in Enchanted township as
well as in Byron, where there is no doubt
about it? 1t has long been asserted that
there is gold enough in the sands of
Moosehead lake to pay good wages to
those who will wash them for it.-Lewis-

We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in blowing the low and
wet lands of the valley north of Sumner
nearly every spring. The mud shoe con-
sists of heavy board about 8 inches
wide and from to 10 inches long, round
ing in the front. On this board a red
hot shoe of the size worn on the horses
foot for which it is intended is placed
until it burns into it to depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. It is necessary
that the shoe have long toe and long
corks. A piece Of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of the hoof is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end Of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom Of the hoof as If 1t had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after day or two
experience no difficulty in working in
them. By this means farmers are en-
abled to plow land in the spring where
without the use of mud shoes horses
would mire down.-Sumner Wash

The success of the Belgians in wrest-
ing universal suffrage from the fears Of
the ruling classes seems to have inspired
the Austrian workingmen to labor for q
similar result In similar way. The suf-
frage in Austria is now given to all who
pay minimum Of five florins in direct
taxes. To make it universal is now the
avowed object Of the leader of the work
ingman's party, who three weeks after
the May day demonstrations in the
prater issued sort of appeal to the
country and particularly to the labor
ing classes on the subject. The design
is to foment an agitation which will
assume huge proportions by the time
parliament meets in the fall, when, it is
hoped, the course of events in Brussels
may be repeated in Vienna.-New York

Staggered by Finger Bowls.

A very amusing scene occurred once
while / was serving lady and gentle
man of the mmistakable upstart type
They were grossly ignorant Of the most
elementary rules of table etiquette, SHOW
cling the food into their mouths with
their knives, which were reconstantly load
ed half way up to the handles. They
managed to struggle through their din
ner, sometimes casting aside knives and
forks and attacking game and poultry by
cutting them in halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg. Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculously polite by
carving bread with knife and fork, but
the climax came when l set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses.
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the room, trying to
find some solution of themysterious dish
before them, not having the sense to ig-
more it altogether. Whispered consulta-
tions took place, which presently grew
into suppressed quarrel, the lady re-
preaching her lord for his ignorance
Suddenly she was seen to shake the wa
ter around and around, and finally, with
look of contempt and superior wis
dom, she raised the bowl to her lips and
drank all the contents. Needless to say
that the hearty laughter of the other di-
ners made them feel the mistake. and
they beat hasty retreat.-London Tit

Tho Curse OF NfiIitarism.

Our Prague correspondent says that
the Bohemian deputies In the Austrian
parliamentary delegations continue
strongly to oppose the new military ex.
penditure required by the war depart.
ment on behalf of the triple alliance.
The figures the opposition gives are sig.
nificant. From 1868 to 1898 the Austrian
army budget rose from 6s, ,699, $40 forms
to 107, 1874, 1868 forins. During those years
s,s33, ,000,0 forins have been expended
on the army. The navy and the landwehi
are not included in this vast sum. The
occupation Of Bosnia alone has cost the
empire since 1878 PAS, ,993, 800 forins.
On the other hand, nothing is incurred
for works of peace. Not a mile Of a
navigable channel has been made. The
support Of primary schools. asylums,
road building, etc., rests entirely on the
shoulders Of the provinces themselves.
Other figures are no less suggestive. In
the whole of Austria Hungary there are
1000, 900 paupers and $4,000, 900 persons
unable to work-viz, children, old peo.
pie and cripples; 100000 women and
hand workers earning no more than 1870
florins a year; 100000 workmen and
servants whose yearly income does not
exceed 300 forins, and only 1851 ,O80
persons getting from their work, trade
or capital more than 300 forins. The
physical and moral condition of the i'm.
poverished population is deteriorating.

In the north side of Stone mountain,
six miles from the mouth Of Stony creek,
In Scott county, has been discovered
natural icehouse on grand scale. One
of the old settlers first discovered IL
about 1880, but owing to the fact that
the land on which it is situated could
not be bought he refused to tell its
whereabouts and would only take ice
from It in case of sickness.
He died without revealing the secret
to even his own family, and but for
party of 'sang" diggers entering the re-
gion 1t might have remained q secret
for generations, as IL is situated in an
unfrequented part of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by thick growth Of
moss resembling texture and like moss
that can be seen dangling from the oaks
of Louisiana and Texas. Its formation
was after the fashion of coal vein, be-
ing few inches thick In some places
while several feet in others. The forma-
ton indicates that 1t had been spread
over the surface in liquid state and
then CONCEALED. By what process 1t
freezes or was frozen is q matter Of con-
lecture at this stage of investigation.
Some think that it was formed In the
winter and had been protected since by
dense growth of moss which covers
it, while the more plausible theory is
that beneath the bed is situated great
natural laboratory whose function is a
formation Of ether, and the process of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold The growth Of
moss resembled the hanging moss around
Hudson bay and indicates frigid tenn
perature. The bed covers one acre, and
II it proves inexhaustible it will be val
uable.-Dispatch to Richmond State.

Pecuniary Prospects of tho Chicago Fa,,

Pecuninry prospects OF the chicago Fair.
If the Columbian company will dis.
charge its bonded Indebtedness and re.
fund to the government the amount Of
its donation, it will do marvelously
well. Every effort of the directory ought
to be exerted in that direction. Operat-
ing expenses are far in excess of reason.
Struggle has been made and successfully
to a certain extent in the direction of re-
duced expenditure on current account,
but the field is still full Of possibilities.
The bankers estimate of SO per cent
return to Chicago and the shareholders,
Chicago being on a footing with all
shareholders, is optimistic. The esti-
mate takes no account of the fact that
it is the purpose of the Columbian Ex-
position company to continue expendi-
ture after the closing of the fair. The
Columbian guard have been assured
that large numbers Of them will remain
for a year or more. The whole depart
ment Of construction, reduced in num-
Der, but still an expensive outfit, will be
continued. As the exposition is now
managed, there will not be q penny of
return for any shareholder. 1t is idle to
make other prediction.-Chicago Times.

The Blue of Sapphires.

Star sapphires are generally of a gray
ish blue tint, and the star is exhibited in
its greatest perfection when looked at by
the light Of the sun or candle. The
sapphire is found of all tints and shades
of blue, but the color which approd-
mates to the shade formerly called "bleu
du roi" is the most valuable. A really
fine sapphire should appear blue by arti-
fetal light as well as by day. This stone
is found in crystals generally of much
larger size than the ruby. The name

runs through all languages with very
slight alteration-the Hebrew name

zaffiros, the Latin sapphirus, etc.--Cin-

There has not been a special session of
congress for ID years, and the one which
will assemble Aug. will be the twelfth
in the history of the government. In the
earlier decades of the century special
sessions were moro frequent than they
have been Of late, because of threaten
ing crises in our relations with foreign
powers. Jefferson called congress to-
gether twice in extraordinary session
during his administration, and Madison
twice also, once to declare our second
war Of independence. But the most mo-
mentous subject which any special ses-
sion was called upon to deal with was
the opening Of the rebellion. President

A Cables Length.

The nautical terms used In the ac-
counts Of the Victoria disaster puzzle
many, and the principal one is, What is
cables length2 The cable, like the
knot, is only used in maritime parlance.
It is 100 fathoms, or 600 feet. The evo-
luton ordered by Admiral Tryon at six
cables length consequently brought two
mammoth battleships to converge within
5000 feet. The maneuver was nothing
but what landsman would call coun-
termarch, but the columns converging
