The Universal Suffrage In Austria.

The success of the Belgians in wrest-
ing universal suffrage from the fears of
the ruling classes seems to have inspired
the Austrian workingrnen 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 tho
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

A Word For Farmers.

The great drawback on many farms to
the highest success with COWS is the
want of good pasture. Many pastures
are stocked with early grasses which
give fair amount of feed early in the
season, but after the last of July begin
to fail, and through the remainder of the
season afford but scanty feed. There is
but one way for the farmer to bridge
this chasm of poor pasturage, by adopt
ing a partial soiliug system-that is, to
get near the full benefit of his dairy

How He Saved Them.

When Captain Dutton Of the Servia
gave orders to go ahead at full speed
after the collision with the McCallum,
he probably thought Of the experience Of
the Trave about year ago, when her
bows cut sheer through vessel which
she struck on the ocean, and suffered
scarcely any damage. But he builded
better than he knew. By his action he
succeeded in saving every soul but one
on board the ship which he ran down.
The story of the suspension of the Nc
Cullum on the PROV Of the Servia long
enough to enable her crew to be rescued
reads like page from ance.-New

why pelaware,s Boundary Is Circular.

The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on tho east by the
Delaware river from 12 miles distant
north of New Castle town until the three
and fortieth degree of north latitude"
and that the southern boundary was to
be "a circle drawn at 12 miles distant
from the town of New Castle northward
and westward until the fortieth degree
of north latitude and then by straight
Inc westward" This makes q circular
boundary for northern Delaware una
voidable, and the facts above set forth
explain geographical curiosity that has
puzzled many students.-St Louis Re

REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S.

They VIII Pursue No Fixed Policy Dur

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Republican
senators held caucus today and dis
cussed the situation from vari6us points
OF view. No fixed policy was determ-
ined upon. 1t was agreed that the
Democrats must assume the responsible
lity for all that was done, but at the
same time the Republicans would be
guided BY patriotic impulses and do
what they thought was proper to help
the country in remedying the evils that
were believed to exist. 1t is probable
another caucus will be held soon.

A Cables Length.

The nautical terms used In the &C.
counts of the Victoria disaster puzzle
many, and the principal one is, What is
a cables length? 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
$500 feet. The maneuver was nothing
but what a landsman would call coun-
termarch, but the columns converging

this one thing down on the blank as the
reason for his having received his PEN

personal notice in Ohio. An old soldier
had had his pension stopped and he ap-
peared to all intents and purposes to be
perfectly ablebodied. He told me, how
ever, that his limbs were in such state
that he could not stand erect for more
