FINEST TUGS IN THE WORLD.

Liverpool Craft Which Tow Sailing veo-
sells Across the Atlantic Ocean.
An American skipper recently ex-
pressed the opinion that he could al
ways find at Liverpool tug that could
pull the timbers of one of his vessels or
tow him home in less time than he could
sail there. This is high compliment,
and one which, according to the Leis-
ure Hour, is well deserved, for the
Liverpool tug feet is undoubtedly the
finest in the world. British tugboats
by no means limit their labors now to
home or even continental waters.
When steamer breaks down a tug has

same thing occurs when q vessel is dis

toned that of the Stormcocl, which
took the sailing ship Ardencsple. OF
1900 tons, from the Brazils to q home
port. The same tug has also towed the
disabled steamer Sobralense from Ma.
deira to Liverpool, q distance of 1900
miles in 160 hours. The William Jol.
life lowed the steamship Reading
1000 tons, from Gibraltar to the Isle of
Wight in little over five days. The
Jane Jolliffe lowed the steamer Mar
colts, of 5000 tons, from st. Vincent to
England in the depth of winter, her
best days run being 1855 miles. The
Sara Jolliffe left Minorca with the
steamship st. Donats in tow on Feb
Yuary IA, reached Gibraltar four DAYS
later, and arrived at Cardiff on the 25th.
The voyage from England to Minorca
and back again with her tow only occu.
pied twenty days. Another Liverpool
tugboat, the Pathfinder, lowed the
Sindia, Of 5000 tons, from London to
Liverpool in seventy-one hours. Some
little while back three tugs left Dun
dee, each bound for Cardiff, with yes
sci in tow. The Blazer, of Liverpool,
towed the Balmoral, of 1000 tons. The
Maulesden, 1900 tons, was lowed by
the Flying Venture. of Glasgow; while
. smaller vessel, the Brablock, was in
charge of the Columbia, of London.
Each vessel left Dundee at the same
time and each took the northern way
round through the stormy Pentland
Firth. The first vessel to arrive at
Cardiff was the Scotch tug, followed
two hours later by the Blazer. while
the Columbia brought up the rear at
an interval of eighteen hours. Allow
ing for extra weight, the first prize in
this interesting race must 60 to the
Liverpool tug, which towed by far the
larger vessel.

THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTERS.
They swell tho TetaI Opposition to
Democracy tot over $4,000. 900.

Frederick &. Waite, formerly a
special agent Of the 18th census, i'll a
paper before the National Statistical
Association, on the subject Of election
certificates, asserts that the Demo-
cratic party was defeated in the re-
cent election by stay-at-home voters.
Among other interesting statements
made by Waite, are these: To show
that the Republican farmers did not
vote for Cleveland in 1892, / analysed
the election returns, town by town.
throughout the rural districts OF New
York, and discovered that the rural
vote for Cleveland was even less in
1892 than in 1883, in every agricul-
tural county OF the Empire State. In
ONO 1t was Just the same. Cleye-
lands vote in 1892 was less than in
1883 in all the rural townships Of the
agricultural counties. This year the
Republicans have not cast AS large q
per cent. Of the full vote as in 1883 in
single State. Hence, the only rea-
sonable conclusion is that in 1892 the
dissatisfied Republican farme.s, and
this year the disconnected Democratic
laborers, joined the stay.at-ho ne vot-
ers. The stay-at-home vote has in
creased in New York from 10000, in
1883, to $4,000 in 1892, and to 49,
OUO this year; in Pennsylvania ron
10000 in 1883, to 100000 in 1892, and
4OO,OOO this year. 1t has increased in
Ohio from 10000 in 1888, to $1,000
in 1892 and 100000 this wear; in
Michigan, from 10000 in 1883, to
lO5 900 in 1892 and 100000 in 1893
and 1894. South Carolina, when she
had JO,OOO less voters than ut present,
cast lo3,62l, votes for Hayes and Til
den. The total vote this year, how
ever, is not much over 10000, or about
one-fOurth of the full vote. 1t is the
stay-at-home party which has made
such phenomenal gains. The i'm
mense Republican pluralities thi.
year are not the result OF an extraOr-
binary vote, but of the exceedingly
small Democratic vote Wisconsin
has not pOlled for the Democratic
candidates such small percentage of
her full vote for % years. In Penn
sylvania, the Democratic party has
not cast on an important election such
q small vote for half century. The
astonishing features of the recent
election are the same as those of 1892,
when 100000 Republican farmers
stayed at home, while the Populist
brethren cast 1912 ,53l votes on the
strength of visionary promises. Cen.
sus and registration certificates dis.
close the fact that this year the stay
at-home voters number 100000. To
these We add the 100000 Populists,
the Republicans and the scattering
vote, and we have over 100000 who
have shown dissatisfaction with the
present administration Of public af-
fairs. to be placed against tho 4,20O,-
wv Democrats who voted approval.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit .
tract Of country in Africa, are strict
Mohammedans in religion, but, curious
ly enough, they still retain many Of
the superstitions Of the negro race
from which they sprung. Consequent
ly their marriage ceremony is .
mixture Of the two, and although it is
performed by . marabout, or holy man
in the mosque, it contains one very
ridiculous element. Next in impor-
lance to the marabout is the bride
groom's sister, and when the marriage
ceremony reaches the point where the
visible bond, usually typified in civil
ization by the ring, appears, this sister
steps forward and in place Of the ring
presents the lady with u pair Of
trousers, which are Immediately
donned. The ceremony is concluded
by very mournful song sung by the
companions of the bride, who then
conduct her again to the home Of her
parents, as owing to the extreme prob
ability OF one or the other retracting
ct any moment by reason Of an un-
favorable omen no house is built until
the ceremony is completed. Polygamy
is the rule, but each wife has her own
house to keep her from quarreling
with the other wives. They are the
most tyrannical wives in Africa, and.
hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule him

THE POP WEED.
4 peculiar Prairie Plant Found Plentiful
ly in the Dakotas.

4 peculiar Prairie Plant Found Plentiful
ly in the Dakotas.
A. resident of South Dakota gives
the following description Of this
strange plant: 1T is of rank growth,
but little less than marvellous in its
way. 1t has a stalk like the cabbage
plant with large round top the size
Of a Hubbard squash and about the
same color. There are thousands of
acres Of it on the Indian reservations
In the vicinity of alkali beds it grows
to prodigious size.
when the terrific northwest winds
blow late in the fall the pop-balls be-
come detached from the stalk and roll
for miles over the prairies, until they
reach uneven country or other obstruc-
tons, where they accumulate and pile
up like high houses of snow. Behind
these banks of weeds the wild buffalo
found shelter in midwinter from
the fierce billiards. If the pop
weed ball comes forcibly in con-
tact with any hard object while
rolling it explodes with a tremendous
report, q cloud Of fine powder passes
ON through the air, and thousands OF
sharp. fine needles are thrown out IN
every direction. These needles are
the seeds of the pop weed and are
what produce the mischief with stock,
for they are very penetrating. A
'critter' will run from a rolling pop
weed like q jack rabbit from a coyote.
} THE Indians tell strange and inter
esting stories about the weed. 1t is
said that the young braves of the tribe,
for discipline and to prepare them
selves to endure great torture. would
fight with these pop-balls as school
boys do with snow-balls. The battle
of the pop weed is held once a year,
and is witnessed by the whole tribe
with great pomp and parade. To the
young brave the occasion is what the
fourth of July is to the white Ameri.
can youth. There is the noise and
smoke of battle to perfection, and the
fine, sharp needles cause intense pain.
The greatest exhibitions of bravery
are rewarded by promotion in the
tribe, and presentations of handsome
bead work are made by the young
braves best squaws or maidens."
