NOT THAT KIND OF A LOAD.

Mistake Of a Jerseyman Who Bought
Firewater Instead of Firewood.

open fire places and antique mantele.
In charge of the old place are a Mrs.
Watson and her husband. The latter is
a born and bred Jerseyman, but, strange
to say, served in the Confederate army.
He happened to be in the south when
the trouble arose and he just mixed in
with the "secesh."
For which," says the colonel, when

him for his old associations sake"
Watson is a skilled mechanic, but has
a disposition which divorced him from
work years ago. He also has a thorough
Jerseymans appetite for liquor.

A GEORGIA
But He Got the Worst of Playing an Old
Trick on Two Women.

But He Got the Worst of Playing an Old
Trick on Two Women.
Solomon has the credit of being the
wisest man of his day, but there are
some things about Solomon's life which
do not reflect much credit on the quality
of his wisdom. He was strictly unorth-
odox on the marriage question, although
his multitude of wives may be used to
illustrate how he could live to a good
old age and be Of large account to the
world without sacrificing his energies to
keep peace in the family. or course it
was as a judge that he obtained his first
fame, and Of all the acts in his judicial
career the case of the baby appears to
be the best remembered. 1t will be
found duly recorded in First Kings, and
it tells in detail how Solomon, to decide
mother of the child in dispute, ordered
the infant to be cut in halves.
This method worked very we'll indeed
in Solomon's day, but it is not very GER
tain that it would do for modern times.
Indeed, a case is reported from Georgia
which distinctly repudiates the wisdom
of the plan. Two women appeared be-
fore a magistrate and each claimed she
was the mother of a certain baby. The
judge placed the baby on the desk in
front Of him and the trial began. The
conflict was brisk and noisy, and the
Judge was about to give up in despair,
when he remembered Solomon. Draw.
ing a bowie knife from his belt, he' de-
clared to the that he would give
half to each. They were SO shocked that
they could hardly speak. Then they
looked at the magistrate, saw his firm
ness, and screamed. almost together:
Don't do that; you can keep it your
SELF"
1t would have been rather hard il
Solomon had had an experience like
this But when we come to think of it,
they don't mind large families in

AN OPEN REVOLUTION.
Plan Advocated by the Russian Nihilist,
Stepniak.

Plan Advocated by the Russian Nihilist,
S~tepniak.
LONDON, Nov. GA representative of
the Associated Press had an interview
with Stepniak, the Russian nihilist. He
utterly repudiated the nihilist man
ifesto recently published.
Speaking Of the present situation,
Stepniak said:
"The future cannot be foretold, but
am firmly persuaded that the new car
will follow a more liberal policy than his
father. Mind, 1 have no illusions re.
garding the new czar. He may not be
superior to his father. In any case he
cannot be worse. His fathers only good
point was his foreign policy, and he has
done a kind thing in dying, so l won't
be severe on him. His death is the op-
perfume moment for a move in a liberal
direction and for constitutional changes,
for which the country is quite ripe.
ave nihilists have decided upon an
immediate, fresh and wide spread propa-
ganda. 1t may be revolutionary, but not
in the name of dynamite. The reign Of
bombs and dynamite is ended. Although
a few fools may advocate it, all thinking
and responsible nihilists r~epudiate it.
We want a powerful but legal agitation.
or hn open revolution, which, in my
opinion, would be more effective thar
the propaganda.
ave intend to agitate society by the
pressure of public opinion and not b,
explosives.
"A move in the right direction has
just been made by Russian government
official of liberal views, VINO has drafted
a scheme for a democratic constitution
including the establishment of elective
local and provincial ~parliaments.'
Stepniac concluded by saying: Il wish
to say to my friends in America, now
that Russia is entering a new phase,
that Americans ought 10 think of the
outrage against liberty which they com
mitted, by concluding an extradition
treaty with Russia. 1t is unworthy of a
great nation like the United States for
its government to support such a gov
eminent as that of Russia, and | trust
that the earnest efforts of George Ken
nan and other friends of Russia will lead
to its appeal"

The claim is made for Germany Of
having the most complete and success
full system Of sewage disposal of any
country on the continent of Europe. In
Berlin, where the features OF this sys-
TEN are so perfectly represented, the
drains from the houses receive both the
rainwater, the refuse water from the
kitchen, etc, and the contents of the
water closets, conducting them to an
arrangement of radial sewers, through
which, by a natural fall, they pass to a
dozen different pumping stations with
in the area Of the town. From these
the sewage, through the medium Of
combined force and suction pumps, pro.
ceeds through pipes of 3 feet or still
greater diameter to the land which the
corporation of Berlin possesses, the ma.
terial thence making its final exit
through q system of conduits SO ar
ranged that, before reaching them, it
has parted with all its manurial power
to the soil through which it is made to
pass. The sewage water thus filtered
reaches the river through the natural
fall of the conduits in a comparatively
purified state.-New York Sun.

times they intimate that they are q
years old and of sound mind. This GER
tainly speaks well for the men Of st.

ance in quantity. st. Louis men are

remarks incidentally that her husband
used to smoke, but that he does not now.
We would not think Of doubling that

A feature of the November Arena that
will awaken the curiosity of all those
who enjoy getting both sides of debata-
BILE questions is the treatment Of THE
Bible and Modern ~Spiritualism' at the
hands of two eminent orthodox Christian
scholars, who are both theologues and
medical men. They are Henry A. Hartt,
NJ. D., and j. NJ. PEBBLES, A. NJ, NJ. d.,
ard both writing from the orthodox
Christian standpoint, they take diamet
REALLY opposite views. DR., Hartt holds
that the miracles and revelations and
prophesies of the Bible had no relation
to spiritualism in its modern interpreta'
ton, and DR.. PEBBLES holds that they
most were distinctly to be included
among sp~iritualistic phenomena. Doubt
ers can therefore choose between two
orthodox views.

A FAD FOR SUICIDE.
Sioux Braves SHOW Their Progress In Civil

Sioux Braves show Their Progress In Civil
~lization by Self Destruction.
Recent events prove that the Sioux
Indians are rapidly becoming civilized
if the fact that many Of them are fol
lowing closely i'll the footsteps Of law
less whites can be construed as an ovi-
dcncc of civilization. Formerly suicides
among the Indians were never heard
Of, while during the last few years a
number of Sioux have committed the
crime of self destruction. In the matter
of quarreling and fighting about land
some Of the Sioux are also becoming apt
pupils of quarrelsome white farmers.
The last murder reported from the
Sioux reservation was caused by q dis
pute over a piece of land. An Indian
named Eagle Louise had taken a farm
under the severalty act. The land was
better than the average, and many other
Indians thought they wanted it. The
owner was compelled in order to main
tain possession to assert his rights by a
show Of arms. The most persistent
claimant of the land was another Sioux
named Thunder Hawk. To discourage
the owner as much as possible and rem
der his life q burden Thunder Hawk on
several occasions cut the fences about
the place and let wild stock out to scat
ter broadcast over the prairie. Eagle
Louise had some wild colts and kept them
securely in a corral. The day of the
murder Thunder Hawk arrived on the
scene once more and in a moment had
cut the corral fence and let the colts
loose. Eagle Louise witnessed the act,
and in the fight that ensued Thunder
Hawk was shot and killed. The muir
derer now lies in the Deadwood Jail
awaiting the next term of the United
States court, when he will be tried for
the crime. chamberlain Is. d. Cor.

MISSIONARY RAND's STORY.
He Tells of Spnin's Course In the
Caroline Islands.

CARTHAGE, ILL.,, May 2s-The Rev. and
Mrs. Frank Rand of this city, who have
for some years been missionaries in the
Caroline Islands. have returned home from
those islands. They expect in a short time
to lay before the American board of COM
missioners of foreign missions at Boston
the full story of the wrongs done them and
the natives. This board under whose aus
pices Mr. and Mrs. Rand went to Ponape
in 1874. is acquainted with the main facts
leading up to the troubles on these islands.
The world in general has not known of
these outrages in detail. and MIR. Rand has
made them generally public for the first
time as follows:
In 1887 Spain sent Governor Possidilyo to
the Islands to assume charge He began
to make slaves of the natives, requiring
them to work constantly and to furnish
their own food.
In September, 1889. Spain sent reinforce
ments TO the islands under command of a.
new governor, Cardossa. Cardossa, learn
ing that King Paul of the Metalabim tribe
ala not propose to submit to Spain's de-
mands, ordered the native villages sbelIed
ana a general onslaught on the islands
Inc missionaries were notified that they
should no longer teach. and that they must
30 away or suffer the consequences Con-
sequently the American missionaries boar
ed the missionary ship, the Morning Star.
and went TO the island of Mokil
In the meantime the Spanish ship opened
hre on the native villagers, pouring a con-
slant rain Of shell and bullets into the huts.
This warfare was kept up for three days.
and the natives were assailed by land
troops. But only three natives were killed
in this battle, while the Spanish loss was
3Oo This was the last battle between Spain
and the natives. and since then Spain has
been endeavoring to compel the stubborn
tribes to yield King Paul. who is much of
Christian, says he will never surrender to
Spain.
Mr.. Rand says that his return to Ponape

the United States and the action of Spain
