The Crow as a Scavenger a Fraud.

The Crow as a Scavenger a Fraud.
A curious result of the rells ious
riots in Bombay has been the expos
ure of the hollowness of the plea
that has been put forth for the ow as
a scavenger. Lazy governments In the
East have been won't to excuse their
sanitary short 'Omin.s on the ground
tn it 1.-THE crow, the pariah dog. and
the kite, may lie relied upon to clear
away the offal in the streets, but the
smells Of COnstantinOple and Smyrna
have not ten observed to be much
the less because the dogs eat of the
offal thrown from the houses, nor
has Jerusalem or Cairo been found to
be any swt eter from the presence of
the mongrels who destroy the repose
of visitors
In like manner the Bombay crow
has failed to justify his ancient repu-
tation. During the Bombay riots
when the operations Of the city scav-
engers were brought to standstill,
dead varmin and offal accumulated
in extraordinary quantities in the
bazaars and slums of the native quar-
tiers, till the city became a paradise
for the crows" but the BON bay crows
entirely neglected this opportunity,
and thus have come to be denounced
as sham sanitarianS "-London

SUICIDE ASSISTED IN RUSSIA

Aged and Sick Tchu9tc Sacrificed with
Strange Ceremonies Even To-day.
Very few persons in Europe or else

such sacrifices still take place, says
the Gazette de Yakootsk, and seem
likely to be practiced for long tim I.

blame therefore can be attached to
the Russian Government or to the
orthodox church. for efforts by botn
to stop the custom have proved in
efectual. The sacrifices alluded to
are those of old people AID the sick,
who, finding no pleasure in life, re-
solve to have done with earthly ex-
lstence. to rejo their dead relations
and go to increase the numter of
happy spirits The Tchuktchi who
has made up his mind to die imme-
diately notifies his neighbors and near
est relatives. The news spreads in
the circle of his friends and all of
them soon visit the unhappy person
to influence him to change his mind.
Prayers. reproaches, complaints, and
tears have no effect on the fanatic,
who explains his reasons. speaks of
the future life, Of the dead who ap-
pear to him in his sleep, and even
when he is awake calling him to
them. II $ friends, seeing him thus
resolved, go away to make the Gus
tomary preparations At the end of
from ten to fifteen days they return
to the hut OF the Tchuktchi With
white mortuary garments and some
weapons which will lie used by the
man in the other world to fight evil
spirits and hunt the reindeer. After
making his toilet the Tchuktchi with

Two thousand homeless men are
lodged tonight in the police stations
and the City Hall. In the latter

from Washington Street to. Randolph
is SO completely carpeted with the un-

with nothing between their bodies and
tie stony floor. The great iron stairs
leading to the floors above are also
covered with sleepers. At the police
stations every available inch of space
is occupied by destitute men. and
hundreds have been turned away for

1IETUSB BEGIN ATHOME
CORRECT OUR OWN WRONGS
BEFORE GOING TO HAWAII.
Let the Sandwich Islands Take Care of
Themselves While We Establish Right
and Justice Among dur Own Discouraged
and Impoverished People.


That bold and outspoken advocate of
right and justice for orr own people,
the Farmers Voice, Chicago, express
es the sentiments of Populists in its
caustic treatment of the Hawaiian
question, as follows:
The special message on Hawaiian
affairs, sent to Congress by President
Cleveland, shows a vast deal of inter-
est in dethroned Pagan Queen. The
President thinks a gross injustice was
done the Queen of the Sandwich Is
lands through the direct influence and
power Of the United States Govern
ment, and he expresses anxiety to do
justice to the alleged wronged party.
Justice is good thing. We believe
in justice. We believe that the hum
blest person in all the earth should
have justice. Pagan and Christian
alike are entitled 20 justice. The weak
all over the world shonld receive con-
sideration from the strong. If the
lusky Queen at Honolulu has been
wronged We hope that the wrongs will
be righted. But it strikes us that the
people Of the Sandwich Islands might
very properly be left to fight their own
battles. If the monarchial party has
the strenth to maintain itself on the
throne, it must have strength to fight
its way to the throne. and it would
seem that the United States Govern
ment had quite enough to do to right
wrongs in our own country, without
expanding the power of the Executive

The Value Of Gold.

If $5O,O0O,OOO worth of gold used
in the commercial world for other pur-
poses than money, such as watch cases,
rings. gold plate, and personal adorn-
ments, We're shipped to Europe to-
morrow, business would continue the
same as usual. But if the same amount
of gold coin We're shipped to Europe.
specie payments would stop. banks
would suspend, business firms be
bankrupted, and millions of working
men thrown out of employment. This
fact proves that the business depres-
sion would be caused by the loss of
gold as money, not by the loss of gold
as metal. Commodities made of
gold have no more debt-paying quail
ties than other commodities. The
value of gold does not depend. like
wheat or corn, on the amount of labor
required to produce it, but on the
willingness of the Government to coin
into money certain number of grains
of gold. -Cleveland Citizen.

acted. except few wrung from an I'M.
willing opposition. The seeds of the
harvest We are now reapiug were
planted long before the present Con-
gress and President were elected.
These have done nothing to prevent
the ripening of the harvest. They
have made no change. The financial
policy of the preceding administration
has been strictly followed. Wall
Street has been the oracle continually
consulted, and its every request has
been granted. But one financial meas
ure has been enacted or attempted, and
that. though an administration meas
ure, was passed by Republican votes.
Does any one pretend that had Mr..
Harrison been elected the Sherman
bill would not have been repealed?
Then why this banter alsout Demo
cratic times?" They are Republican
times fostered and intensified by the
Democratic administration. That 10
the fact about it. Our Republican
friends must not deceive themselves
by their own forgetfulness. Hard
times have been with us longer than
the year now closing. The nine mill
ion mortgages reported by the census
department were placed on record be-
fore 1898 or 1892. Senator Ingalls, in
his famous speech made just before tho
expiration of his last term of service.
drew Is truthful and vet as dark pic
ture as can he drawn now, and tho
speeches in Congress and out for years
have been burdened with, industrial
depression. In talking thus of Demo
cratic times" our Republican friends
condemn their own party, for the
financial policy inaugurated by them
has heen strictly followed 10y their OPP
ponents. They chopped the tree to
within few strokes of its falling. Mr.
Cleveland and his Congress gleefully
gave the finishing strokes. and the
crash of the fall resountled from ocean
to ocean.
But it is the way of the world. Let
any one snatch a stolen chicken from
thief, and forthwith the excited
crowd. the thief included, joins in
mad chase of the one that has the fowl.
The intelligent American people should
not be so. They should have honest
independence enough to catch and
punish the man who ran off with the
chicken, but they should have memory
enough to not forget the fellow that
stole it. -ProGrcssive Farmer.

Gladstone also said, Feb. %, 1893,
that England had investments outside
of England $4,000, O0O, 900 or more,"
and that We as q nation are in an oppo-

wrong side of our ledger a claim of
$1,000, 600, 900 which gives foreigners
a claim on US at 6 per cent of $780,

which he let's down, the Democratic

What Goes TO Make Papcr.

Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are EMPLOYED.
while old sacking or bagging makes q
good article. Paper is made out of
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo-
thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea
weeds and more than one hundred diff
fercnt kinds of grass. Paper has been
made from hair, fur and wool, from as
bestos, wEich furnishes an article in
destructiblc by fire; from hop plants.
from huslss of any and every kind of
grain. Leaves make a good, strong
paper, while the husks and stems Of
Indian corn have also been tried, and
almost every kind of moss can be made
into paper. There arc patents for
making paper from sawdust and shay
ings, from thistles md thistle-down.
from tobacco stalks and tan bark. IT
Is said that there are over two thou-
sand patents in this country covering
the manufacture of paper. No matter
what the substance, the process is sub
stantially the same; the material is
ground to pulp, then spread thinly
over frame and allowed to Try, the
subsequent treatment depending ON
the kind of paper to be made.

Tortoises and Rain,

Ine tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
SO. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On
bright clear morning when not a cloud
is to be seen the dcnizens of tortoise
farm on the African coast may be seen
sometimes heading for the nearest
overhanging rocks; when that happens
the proprietor knows that rain will
come down during the day, and as a
rule 1T comes down in torrents. The
sign never fails. This presentation,
to coin word, which exists in many
birds and beasts may be explained
partly from the increasing weight of
the atmosphere when rain is forming.
partly by habits of living and partly
from the need of moisture which is
shared by all. The American cat bird
gives warming of an approaching th;.n-
derstorm by sitting on the low branches
OF the dogwood tree whether this

birds. including the familiar robin, it
is said, give similar evidence of an i'm
