Moscow, May 16.-Six peasants living
near the town of OstrogoIsky have
recently engaged in wholesale thefts
OF wood from the forest OF Peskow, SELL
ing it and bribing the keepers of the
forest with part of the proceeds. One
keeper named Goworog informed upon
the thieves, wbereupon they siezed and
bound him and subjected him 10 most
horrible torture, tearing out his tongue,
piercing his eyes with pins, until his
eye balls were mere pulp, tearing of
his nnger and toe nails and finally
trampling on his body until it was life
less. The body was found in the woods
few days ago presenting a most sick
enlng spectacle. An alarm was gwen
and search was made for his fendish
murderers, but they had disappeared in
the forest. A strong force of gend-
armes were sent in pursuit of them and
another force of gendarmes and large
parties OF peasants and residents OF
OstrosoIsky are surrounding the forest
to prevent their escape.

THE SECRETARY BIRD.
A Genuine Fencing Match Between n Fov
and n Snake.

Genuine Fencing Match Between Fowl
and n Snake.
1t is not always sufficient for the
hunter to find game and to reach it.
If the game is of large size it may be
able to hold its own, and the pursuit
may end in violent struggle, in which
both skill and cunning are necessary
to obtain conquest.
The bird which displays the most re-
marlkable qualities in this struggle
which terminates the chase, exhibit
ing indeed real fencing match, is the
secretary bird. He is the more inter
ested in striking without being him
self struck, since the fangs with which
his prey, the snake, is generally armed,
might at the first blow give him a
mortal wound. In South Africa he
pursues every snake, even the most
venomous. Warned by instinct of the
terrible enemy he has met, the reptile
at first seeks safety in fight; the sec
retary follows him on foot and the
ardor of the chase does not prevent
him from being constantly on guard.
This is because the snake, fning him
self nearly overtaken, suddenly turns
round, ready to use his defensive
weapons. The bird stops, and turns in
one of his wings to protect the lower
parts of his body. A real duel then
begins The snake throws himself on
his enemy, who at each stroke parties
with the end of his wing; the fangs
are buried in the great feathers which
terminate it, and there leave their
poison without producing any effect.
All this time with the other wing the
secretary repeatedly strikes the rep
tile, who is at last stunned and rolls
over on the earth. The conqueror
radidly thrusts his beak into his skull,
throws his victim into the air, and
| swallows him.-Frederic Houssay, in
| Popular Science Monthly.

Grain Exports From the Argentine.

No less than nine hundred and nine
teen thousand tons of cereals were ex-
ported from the Argentine Republic
during the first nine months of 1S93
This is nearly double the exports in
the year before and it is expected that
there will be another increase during
this year in the expectation of Argen-
tine wheat, since the crop looked very
omising-notably in the provinces of
Santa Fe, Cordova and Entire Rios. 1t
is to be noticed that an unusually large
number of agricultural machines has
been purchased in many parts of the
republic. The single colony of Marcos
Jaurez, province of Cordova, bought
seventy wheat threshing machines
during the last year.--N. YiTribune.

EARLY IRoN-MAKING.
Genesis of the Industry in the American
Colonies.

Colonies.
The first record of iron-making in
the colonies carries us back to the at
tempt made by the Virginia company
to establish iron works on Falling
creek, in Virginia. This was about
1920. The Indians put an end to the
enterprise by scalping the manager,
John Berkeley, and all his workmen;
and the glory of setting upa successful
iron-making plant was transferred to
the New England colonies, where in
1915 the blast furnace built by John
Winthrop, jr., had "some tuns of sowe
iron cast in readiness for ye Sorge."
The manufacture of steel was first at
tempted by two men named Higley and
Dewey, who in 1928 received patent
from the general court of Connecticut
to make steel for a period of ten years.
Like many other pioneers, they found
that the concession yielded no fruit
The field was not abandoned, for many
more successful attempts followed in
Come cticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl
and, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia. All the steel made
at that period was produced in hearth
similar to bloomary, or else by ce-
mentation. 1t was therefore no more
than ''puddled steel" or shear steel. "
The process of making the more per
feet cast metal, or crucible steel, seems
not to have been successfully practiced
till 1881, when it was established at
Cincinnati by Garrard Brothers.
The census of 1910 gives the total pro-
duction of pig at SO, 40s tons In 1920
| 1t had receded to 10000 TONS The total
quantity of steel made in 1910 appears
! to have been 917 tons, of which Penn
sylvania produced about one-half.-

scription, and was entirely cured of both in
six months it is four years this month,

taking that medicine and think it is a Gods
blessing to me that l took it.
l was pronounced incurable by the best
doctors here in the West. 1 gave up all
hopes and made up my mind that was to
be taken away from my husband and baby
of two years old. Twas sick all of the time
could not eat anything at all. In one week,
after beginning the use of the Favorite Pre-
that l could eat anything could see that 1
was gaining all over, and my husband then
went and got me six bottles l took three of
them and my stomach did not bother me any
more.
We sent to you and got the Peoples Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, and found
my case described just as l was: we did
what the book told us, in every way in one
months time 1 could see was much better
than had been; we still kept on just as the
book told us, and in three months l stopped
taking medicine, and to-day, can proudly
say am well women, yes, am well, strong
and healthy.

face was poor and eyes looked dead. 1 could
not enjoy myself anywhere, was tired and
sick all the time. l could hardly do my

went to bed like folks"
One day it was rumored that the gun
boats were in the river below us and
were coming up. About midnight,
while all were sleeping soundly, the
long roll began to beat in the company
stationed on the river bank.
At once there was a stir in the camp.
Officers were calling the men to fall in,
and there was much hurrying to and
fro, Capt Beaumont was always care
full about his dress when on duty, and
even now he did not neglect his toilet.
Quickly he put on his uniform, buclxled
on his sworo and stepped out of his
tent to take command of his company.
But his men had not been so thought
full. They sprang up and grasped their
muskets and formed in line in front OF
their tents; but every man of them had
forgotten to put on his trousers, and
there they stood in the starlight, in
their night-clothes, like ''sheeted
ghosts" trembling with cold and ex-

his eye glanced along the line, his sense
of propriety got the better of his mil

commands:

and with shouts of laughter they pre-
pared for battle by putting on those
needful articles of apparel. After all,
it was but false alarm, and they were
soon sent to bed again.-Youth's Com.

Queer Custom in a Boston church.

In accordance with custom in En-
gland that the kings cabinet must re-
tire from Office when the sovereign
himself either abdicates or dies so that
the new sovereign may not be ham
pered in any way by advisers who
might be adverse to his policy, and
which has been adopted by the Central
Congregational society in election of
deacons, took place lastevening, owing
to change of pastor. The old board
was reelected. The deacons are j. A.
BENSON, T. IL. Russell and j. A. BEN
nett. The board will probably be in
creased to six members in the coming
fall. The custom is believed to be
unique in the church government of
Congregational churches, and was
brought about by church quarrel
back in the sos, when two or three
deacons belonged to a minority which
wanted to be rid of the pastor. In
order to prevent future disturbance of
this nature on account of combative
deacons, it was agreed that all the dea-
cons should annually vacate with a
change of pastors. Boston Transcript
