story of the Assassination.
LYONS. France, June 20, To describe
the intense excitement will be almost
impossible. The president was visit
ing Lyons in connection with the Inter
national exhibition. Upon his arrival
here he was rendered a reception at
the prefecture, after which he visited
the exhibition. After spending some
time at the exhibition he proceeded to
the Palais de Commerce, where ban
quet was given in his honor.
At 9:25 last night, President CarnOt
started for the theatre where gala
performance was to be given because OF
his presence in the city. Several car
riages were in the procession. the first
one being occupied by the president.
President CarnOt, S carriage was driven

enthusiastic crowds of people who
were loudly cheering, man rushed

step of the presidents landau.
The Cleaning Knife.
Just at this moment CarnOt was wav-
ing his right hand saluting with his hat
in his left hand in response to the oya-
ton that was being given to him by the
crowd The people close to the car
riage saw that the man standing on the
step had knife in his hand. BY the
glare of the electric lights they saw the
brirht blade cleaning in the air, as the
assassins arm descenoeo
and then president Carnot
was seen to fall back in his seat,
his face deathly pale. One Of his hands

Dagger in the Folds of q Paper.

SantO held a newspaper in his hand
as he pressed through the crowd and
sprang up on the steps of the carriage,
in which President CarnOt sat. He
snatched dagger from the folds of
the newspaper and plunged it into the
presidents abdomen near the liver.
President Carnot sank back uncon-
scious. The news spread swiftly to
every part of the city Infuriated
crowds filled the streets. Before 10
o'clock an Itarian restaurant had been
sacked and the police were obliged to
strain every nerve TO protect the Ital-

Modes of Divination.

If a Scottish maiden desired to sum-
mon the image of her future husband,
she read the third verse, seventeenth
chapter, of the book of Job after supper,
washed the supper dishes and retired to
bed without uttering a single word,
placing underneath her pillow the Bi-
bic, with pin thrust through the verse
she had read. On All Hallow eve variC us
modes of divination were in vogue.
Pennant says that the young women de-
termined the figure and size Of their
husbands by drawing cabbages blind
fold, a custom which fingers still in
some parts of Scotland. They also threw
nuts into the fire, a practice prevailing
also in England, as Gay has described:
Two hazel nuts threw into the flame,
And to each nut gave a sweetheart's name.
This with the lOudest bounce me sore amazed,
That in a flame of brightest color blazed,
AS blazed the nut, so may thy passion grow.
Or they took a candle and went alone to
looking glass, eating an apple and
combing their hair before it, whereupon
the face Of the future spouse would be
seen in the glass peeping over the foolish
girl s shoulder All the Year Round.

Uniforms to Scare the Enemy.

According to the report prepared by
the war department, red uniforms were
first adapted by the Emperor Valerius
Maximus in order that the Roman SOL
diers might not be frightened by the
sight of their own blood. To this day
the children of England are told that
this is the reason why French troops
wear red trousers, and French children
are taught the same notion respecting
the red coats of the British. The legion
aries of ancient Rome wore the skins of
bears on the field of battle to make them
look fierce For the same reason they
put figures of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd Gus
tom springs modern crests and armorial
bearings. The idea of soaring the enemy
by such devices has been perpetuated up
to quite recent times. Tall bearskin
hats were originally adopted to make
them look taller by the French cuiras-
siers, each Of whom carried a handful
Of grenades for scattering among the
ranks of their foe. Troy Times.

Wine In Bottles.

The increase of the strength of wine
by keeping depends upon whether 1t is
kept in cask or bottle. If stored in cask,
there is constant increase Of alcohol
The ancients knew that wine improved
if kept in leathern bottles, and the same
result is obtained by keeping it in wood
en- vessels, for both leather and wood
are more easily penetrated by water than
by alcohol Evaporation ensues from
both, but more freely from water, and
the wine consequently becomes richer
in alcohol. On the other hand, the Opin
ion that wine has grown old in bottles
and therefore become stronger is thor
oughly false Evaporation is very much
hindered by the cork, even when this is
not covered with rosin and sealing wax.
The simple explanation Of our finding
old bottled wine rich in alcohol is that
only the stronger wines can be preserv-
ed and the weaker ones cannot resist
the effects of time At the same time,
although all wine must eventually be
spoiled and weakened by keeping it in
bottles, yet some kinds acquire, as a
first consequence Of that cause which
afterward destroys them, and which is
neither more nor less than the chemical
alteration in their constituents, proper
ties which render them more agreeable
both to smell and taste. Brooklyn Ea-

DWarfing Bamboo Trees.

The dwarfing of bamboo trees is an
important branch of the japanese nur'
sery business. A few weeks after the
shoots begin to grow, and when the
trunks measure about 3 inches in cir
cumference and 5 feet in height the
bark is removed, piece by piece, from
the joint. After five weeks, when the
plants get somewhat stout, the stem is
bent and tied in.
After three months, when the side
shoots grow strong enough, they are all
cut off five or six inches from the main
trunk, they are then dug up and potted
in sand. Care should be taken not to
use any fertilizer, but plenty of water
should be given. Cut off the large shoots
every year in May or June, and after
three years the twigs and leaves will
present admirable yellow and green
sints. s.-Garden and Forest.

Sun Spots.

1t has been observed that after the
sun spots have been at a minimum the
summers are hotter, just as though there
was more heat coming from the sun at
such periods, and the fact has been ac-
counted for by supposing that sun spots
are caused by vast clouds OF matter
erupted from the sun and condensed in
the surrounding space. These act as
screens and prevent the suns heat from
radiating freely through them. From
an examination of statistics A. B.
McDowall, NJ. A, has found that in
England during the hot summers, fol-
lowing the minima of sun spots, the
month of August is hotter than July,
an effect due, in all likelihood, to accu-
mutation of the heat. Reg

ON THE Battlefield.

The sun rose over the field of wheat
And warmed the breath of an early spring.
The smiling flowers made the morning sweet,
And there were caroling birds to sing,
And by the brook were children at play,
Planning their childish games for the day.
But the sun sank over a field Of red,
Leaving no wheat nor a farmhouse there,
Only the ghastly lines of the dead
And blackness and ruin everywhere,
And along the brook, instead of play,
Were the silent forms of blue and gray.

Tin. Tin, American Tin"

A few years ago, says the Chica-
60 Record, the newspapers were
full of glowing accounts of the
rich discoveries of tin-ore alleged to
have been found in the Black Hills
region of South Dakota, and the
Harvey Peak tin mines became
household words. The mines were
bought up by set of sharpers,
about the time that the country
was reverberating with the familiar
phrase "Tin, tin, American tin"
for $1,000 and a stock company
was formed to deluge the continent
with the american tin" that was to
be fried out of Harvey Peak. The
capital stock of the company was
increased to $40, 100000 and shortly
again increased to $l5,000,000.
Then the gentle Englishman was
taken into the deal for 81 ,535, 900
for 10000 shares of the par value
of 100000. Part of the money
was paid i'll cash and the balance in
a mortgage given by the Americans
retransferred to the mortgagors.
The mines never paid the ex-
penses of working and the English
men now find that they have co.
900 shares, while the Americans
have the rest of the stock and a
mortgage OH the property which
they propose to foreclose and freeze
out the foreigners. The English
men sent a lawyer to this country
to find out how the matter stood
and he has found out all about it.
It does not appear, however, that
the Americans "took in" the Eng
lishmen more thoroughly or deftly
than the Americans have swindled
themselves on the tin question, and
there was evidently about as much
merit in the Harvey Peak tin mines
as there was in the various tin plate
mills that turned out so many
white medals two years ago. The
Englishmen were not the only per-
sons who were fooled by the en-
phonious chant Of "Tin, tin, Amer
lean tin" They may not have so
many medals as the stump orator
in 1892 had, but what they lose in
medals they have fully made up in
experience. Every medal mine is
trimmed with experience of a more
or less sorrowful character.

their services TO the government if
needed to maintain peace and order,

The Best Governor.

OF the man nominated for gov
ernor by Populist friends, A. w.
Nichols, we know nothing; of Gov
ernor Rich, who will be nominated
by our Republican friends, we do
know that he has been the poorest
governor the state of Michigan ever
had; while we honestly believe
that Spencer o. Fisher, the Demo-
cratic candidate, would make bet
ter governor than any one the state
has had for over twenty years.
The two best governors since the
war were David II. Jerome, Repub-
lican, and Edwin b. Winans, Dem
ocratic, each serving one term. It
is only the poorest governors the
people have got into the habit of
re-electing by rousing maiorities.
They have to be indicated. Gov
ernor Rich abdicated his constitu-
tional duty by refusing to use the
veto power and by approving every
act of the legislature, constitutional
or unconstitutional, good, bad or in
different. He has been merely a
fgure-head governor.-Jackso Pat
