HUMAN SACRIFICE
The Horrible Practice of a Rus
sian Sect.
The gshukshen Allow Old Men and sies
Ones Tired of Life to Offer Their
Lives for Their More FOR
tunate People.

It is probably known to few people
lives under certain conditions still ex-
!sts in parts of the empire Of Russia.
The government and the orthodox
church have attempted in vain to stop
the inh1man practice, but up to the
present time they have been unsuc.
t~essful. Revelations regarding the
custom were made in recent issues Of
the Gazette of Yakootsk, Siberia. 1t
prevails among q sect known as the
"Ishukshen," not far from that city.
Did people, beyond the biblical limit
as to age, and sick ones, tired of life,
offer themselves as the sacrifices.
When n ''rshukshe" decides to offer
himself up" he sends word to all his
relatives, friends and rcighbors, who
then visit him and try to persuade him
to change his Intentions.
But prayers, upbraidings. threats,
are useless in such n case, and the
fanatic prepares TO: his end. The
friends aud relatives leave the house
and t in fifteen days. bringing
the death candidate with clothing and
several weapons, with which he is sup
posed TO defend himself in the other
world against evil spirits, and shoot
reindeer.
After completing his death toilet, the
candidate takes his place in u corner of
his house or hut. About him gather
his relatives, who offer him the choice
of three instruments of death, II knife,
n spear and a rope. If he chooses the
knife, two friends, hold his arms while
a third plunges the blade into his
breast. Practically the same thing
Is lone if he decide to die by the spear.
When he prefers the rope, two of those
present place it about his neck and
strangle him to death. A cut is then
made in the breast to lot the blood flow
out. All those present sprinkle their
faces and hands with the blood.S be-
lieving thatit will preserve them from
evil and bring them fortune.
The body, after this ceremony, is
placed OF Il sled. which Is drawn by q
reindeer, to the Cremation hill" near
the village. The neck Of the animal is
cut upon arrival at the place. The
body is stripped of clothing, which is
then cut in small pieces and placed on
the altar with the dead manor
During the cremation the "mourncrs''
utter prayers to the spirits, begging
them to watch owe those mortals still
loft on earth. This custom has been
followed by tho sect for centuries.

A BIG FIRE IN ST. LOUIS

81. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 22.-Fire was
at 7:l5 this morning on the
upper floor of the big five story build
ing, 1917 to 1925 Chestnut street. The
hrst t1oor was occupied by the Colum-
ban Mills company, and seventy en-
ployes, including forty girls, had just
commenced work. They became panic
stricken and made n wild rush for the
stairs and fire escapes. A number wero
slightly injured, but none seriously.
Owing to the inflammnblc character
of the material used by the Columbian
company the flames spread rapidly and
in ten minutes the entire building was
burning. After an hours hard fighting

crushed to death under the falling
walls. Five firemen sustained slight
injuries by being struck with bricks.
The building was owned by Liggett

gether with all machinery and tools of
the employees.
The principal occupants of the build
ing and the losses are: Building, owned
by Liggett & Myers Tobacco company,

digestive, the breathing, the circulatorv

which to rally and survives much i'll
usage, neglect and serious illness. Old
age has but a single unsupported bar
rler from which assaults must be at once
repelled If The enIeebled life is to be
sustained.
An individual who inherits longevity
starts in the world wound up, as itwere,

sqnandeIed by unfortunate environ

successfully withstand ordinary intlu-
ences succumb to long continued ad-
verse conditions.
Slight changes occur in course of time
in the tissues OF which an organ is COM
posed, then the organ, as a whole, is en-
teebled and the detective performance
of its functions impairs the strength OF
the whole body. Thus il is that those
who hahitualiy breathe an impure air,
who eat improper food or saturate them
selves with alcohol, and who enfceble
their nervous system by too much worry
and too little sleep, compromise their
health and ~loppeyity.

What a Cannon-3all Can Do.

In dwelling upon the wonderful pow
er of the guns Of the Indiana, A. Frank
lin Matthews, in an article on "'Ihe
Evolution of a Battleship," in Tie Cen
tnry, gives illuttrations from the recent
Chilean civil war, showing the effect
iveness of the smaller sizes of breech-
loaning rilc-guns.
A shot weighing $50 pounds from an
8-inch gun of Fort Naldivia in yalpa-
raiso harbor struck the cruiser BIanco
Encalada above the armor belt, passed
through the thin steel plate on the side,
went through the captains cabin, took
the pillow from under his head, dropped
his head on the mattress with a thump,
but without injuring u hair, passed
through the open door into the mess
room, where it struck the floor, and
then glanced to the ceiling. Then it
went through n wooden buikhead one
inch thick into a room % by ~ feet
where forty men were sleeping in ham,
mochs. 1t killed six of them outright.
and wounded six others, three of whom
died.; it then passed through a steel
bulkhead five inches thick, and ended
its course by striking a battery outside,
in which it made a dent nearly two
inches deep. 1t was filed with sand.
Had it released deadly gases no one
knows what damage it might have
done.
A 4501Iound missile from a 10-inch
gun in the same fort struck the same
vessel on its S-inch arlnor. 1t hit square
on a bolt. The shell did not pierce the
armor, but burst outside the vessel. 1t
drove the bolt clear drought. and inits
flight the bolt struck an S-inch gun,
completely disabling it. Such is the
power of the smaller-sized guns.

"IIniI to tho Chinf.

This is half the title of an old song.
The balance is, WHO in triumph adj
vances." The public, the press and the
medical profession chant this refrain
as especially applicable to Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, chief among Ameri-
laria, constipation, dyspepsia, liver com
plant, nervousness, unquiet sleep, rheu-
matte twinges, and the troubles incident
to advanced age. 1t is also universally
recognized as arcliable tonic and appetizer.
As a family medicine particularly suitable
to emergencies it has no equal. The ner.
piest results follow. The convalescent, the
aged and the intirm derive infinite benefit
from its use. Against the influence of i'm.
pure air, bad water, unaccustomed food
overwork and exposure it is a genuine pre-
ventive.

How to Make Whisky.

1t is a very simple matter to make an
illicit still. A man who knows how can
make one in a very few minutes, and it
will cost practically nothing. The
moonshincr frequently takes an old
sprinkling can and soldiers the top on
tight. Then he arranges a bucket OF
water and cuts a hole near the bottom
of the bucket to allow the rubber hose,
which he will attach TO the spout of the
sprinkling can. to pass out. after he has
coiled it in the bucket and thus made a
worm. Then he pounds up some corn
and puts enough water with it to make
n mush, fills his'sprinkling can, builds a
fire under it. and there he has a still.
The steam which arises from the mush
is condensed as it passes through Che
hose. and when the condensed liquid
niekles out Of the other end 1t is whisky.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in strength and
Value 20 Fer Cent Above Its Nearest

Competitor.
The. Royal Baking Powder has the envi-
able record of having received the highest
award for articles of its ciass-greatest
strength, purest ingredients, most per-
competition with oSlters. In the exhibit
tions of former years, at the Centennial,
at Paris, Vienna and Mt the various state
and industrial fairs. where it has been ex-
bibited, judges have invariably awarded
the Royal Baking Powder the highest
honors.
At the recent worlds fair the examin-
alton for the baking powder awards were
made by the experts of the chemical div
ision of the agricultural department. of
Washington. The official report of the
tests of the baking powders which were
made by this department for the specific
purpose of ascertaining which was the
best, and which has been made public.
shows the leavening strength of the ROYAL
to be 16o cubic inches of carbonic gas per
ounce of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the fair, the
next highest in strength thus tested CON
talued but 133 cubic inches of leav-
ening gas. The other powders
gave an average. of III. The Royal,
therefore, was found of 90 per cent
greater ieaNening strength than its near
est competitor, and "A per cent above the
average of all the other tests. Its superior
ity in other respects, however, in the quail
ity of the food it makes as TIC f~ineness, del
icacy and wholesomeness, could not be
measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and APP
so many years, that lave caused the sales
of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by
statistics. to exceed the sales of all other
baking powders combined.

Wisdom of the Elephant,

1t appears from trustworthy anec
dotes that the Asiatic elephants in a few
months of captivity acquire The rules
of conduct which it is necessary to im-
pose upon them. The speediness of tin
intellectual subjngation may be judged
from the fact that, after a short term of
donessication, they will take a willing
and intelligent part in capturing their
kindred of the wilderness, showing in
this work little Or no disposition to re-
join the wild herds. In the case of no
other animal 10 we find anything like
such an immediate adhesion to the ways
OF civilization. We have to account
for this eminent popularity of the ele-
plant on the superstition. which appears
to be thoroughly justified, that the
creature has, ever in its wild state, a
type of intelligence and instincts more
nearly like those of men than is the case
with any ether wild aniinal.-Prof, Sha-
len in Sc,JbNer.
