Curious Spoil From Dahomey.

1t is said that General Dodds, who
recently returned to Paris from the
conquest of Dahomey, brought back
with him large collection of curious
objects, which will soon be placed in
the various museums of Paris for the
delectation of admiring Parisians.
Among the articles are three large fig
ures, sculptured or carved in wood,
representing Behanzin; his father,
Gle-Gle, and his grandfather, Gle-Gle,
who was also called Kini-Kini, or Lion,
has, in his counterfeit presentment in
wood, the head and features of mon
arch of the desert, while Behanzin,
the still living but deposed Dahomeyan
chief, has shark head in token of
his nom de guerre, as it may be called,
LIE Requin. The general has also in
his possession the banner given to Be
hanzin by some Portuguese traders on
the west coast of Africa. 1t is in

homeyan arms, consisting of Il shark,
an egg, and two palm trees. Two
Krupp guns taken from the Dahomey-
ans, who had buried them in field
after the capture of Abomey, have
been unshipped at Toulon, and will
soon be placed in the museum of the

A GruesOme Occupation.

The macchabee men, or fishers of
dead bodies, of Paris, France, who ply
their doleful trade on the Seine be-
tween the Auteuil viaduct and the Bill
lancourt bridge, threaten to go on
strike owing to the slowness with
which their money premiums are paid.
Pere Joseph, the senior member of the
profession, has been fishing for mac
chabees or dead bodies for the past
twenty-five years, but he and his com.
panions are me- idle as he has not
been paid for the last batch of corpses
sent to the morgue. Joseph sent for
tytwo macchabees to the city dead
house last year and was paid three
dollars each for them, his total gains
being about one hundred and twenty
six dollars. This year the trade
seemed to be improving; the morgue
literally overfowing with bodies taken
out of the river, and in one day he
made twelve dollars. That money,
however, he has not yet received, al
though it has been due for fort
night, and hence he has laid down his
ropes and graphing iron until the city
officials, whose duty it is to remuner-
ate him and his companions for their
services, shall be more expeditions in
their paying g-New York Mercury.

The San Francisco Chronicle notes
that Japan is reaching out for new
fields to colonize. The success of the
recent experiments in Hawaii has
stimulated the Mikado's Government
to endeavor to repeat this work in
Mexico and Australia. On the coffee
and sugar plantations of Mexico great
difficulty is experienced in securing
good reliable labor and in the Austral-
ian colonies every device has been
tried unsuccessfully to fill the demand
for hands on remote ranches. The
Japanese are not ideal laborers, but
they are far superior to the South Sea
islanders that have been tried in
Queensland and other colonies at the
antipodes. We do not care how many
of the japanese swarm into Mexico
and Australia, but we are not anxious
to see them enter our ports for were
this immigration encouraged it would
result in the same evils that have fol-
lowed the influx of the Chinese.

Metalizing Cloth.

An interesting announcement is
made in the French papers of the dis
covery of process for metalizing
textile fabrics, by which, it is claimed,
the latter are rendered proof against
the attack of insects. The materials,
such as wool, flannel, calico, ETC., are
for this purpose immersed in a boiling
bath composed of p pounds of sui
phate of copper, one pound of sui
phuric acid and sixty-two gallons of
water, the fabric being calendered and
dried after its removal from the fluid.
The finish obtained by this process
will, it is said, bear two or three wash
ings before it is again necessary to
subject the cloth to repetition Of the
operation, Detroit Free Press.

Swedish Honesty.

A point which soon attracts the at
tention of travellers in Sweden is the
punctilious honesty and truthfulness
of the inhabitants. This is best seen
in the many little incidents of daily
life. When asking for places at a
theatre, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails to inform the applicant if,
owing to the crowded state of the
house, better position would be Sc
cured with cheaper ticket than the
one asked for. Again, when parcels
are taken out by steamers from Stock
holm to country places in the neigh
borhood, they are just thrown out on
to the quay, where they frequently re-
main half the day without being
claimed. 1t never seems to any one
that they could possibly be taken by
anybody but their rightful owners.

In the Century George Kennan re.
plies to the recently published defense
of Russia made by the Secretary Of tho
Russian Legation at Washington. Mr..
Kennan presents large array of facts
to controvert the assertions of Mr..
Botkine. ga striking proof of tho
impoverishment of the Russian peasan-
try is furnished" he says "by the o.
fetal statistics with regard to the mum.
Der of farm animals in the Empire, and
particularly the number of horses,
Every American farmer knows that he
would find it extremely difficult, if not
absolutely impossible, to work his land
without the aid of a horse; and that
the complete absence of horses on n
farm is an unmistakabIe evidence of
extreme poverty and,destitution. What
is the condition of the Russian peasant
when tried by this test? In the year
1882 there were in the village COM
munities of European,Rus 8, O79, 924
peasant households. OF this number
2, 437, 555 households representing a
population of perhaps,14 900, 900, and
constituting twenty-seSen per cent. of
the whole agricultural class, did not
own "A single horse. OF course these
$4,000, 900 people had not always been
without horses. They had lost them,
partly through contagious diseases,
which they knew not how to combat,
partly in forced settlement of debts to
money-lenders, which they were un-
able to pay, and partly as theresult Of
the ruthless and short-sighted policy
of a Government that sells tho last
horse of poor peasant farmer for
taxes, and thus renders it almost i'm
possible for him ever to pay taxes
again. Mr.. Botkine refers in his arti-
Gle to the recent famine il Russia as a
calamity that gave the Ameaican peo-
pie an opportunity to show their SYM
pathy with the people of Russia. I
wonder whether it ever occurred to
him that the calamity to which he re-
fers was permitted, if not caused, by
the 'beneficent sovereign whom he de-
fends; and that the distress which
called forth our sympathy was the
work, in large part, of the very Gov
ernment that he describes rs natural
and satisfactory The faminelof 1891
90 WAS not one of the sudden, unfore-
seen, and unforeseeable catastrophies
that are described in bills of lading and
insurace policies as acts of God I;
neither was it due solely to the un-
favorable meteorological conditions
which brought about failure of tho
harvest. 1t WAS the result, in largo
part, Of the oppression and maladmin-
istration to which the people had been
subjected, and was merely the culmina-
tion of a long threatened crisis. The
economic condition OF the peasants in
the famine stricken provinces, and
particularly i'll the provinces lying
along the yolga River and its tribu-
taries, was almost hopeless before the
harvest failed.
