The Allotted Time for Czars.

The czar has reigned for nearly four teen years. This has been, 1t Is worth noting, the average length of Russian reign since the beginning of the seven- teenth century. Since about the same date the average length of Spanish reign has been about twenty-one years, of an Austrian reign twenty-six years, of a Prussian thirty years, and of a British reign thirty or thirty-five years, according as George I. is included or excluded. Royal mortality in Russia is higher, too, than in France, where the last six sovereigns reigned, on an aver age, twenty years each, although one of them was guillotined, one trans ported to St. Helena, one deposed and one forced to abdicate.

THE EEPURLICAN RALLY.


 The rain which falls on the just and the unjust fell on the just last evening as they were on their way to the meet ing at the Hyperion, but they did not let it keep them at home. That such large number of the Republicans of this region rallied" in spite of the severe storm indicates the deep and genuine interest which prevails among them. The meeting was big and an enthusiastic one. The speeches were we'll worth hearing, and the singing of the Tippecanoe glee club was very pleasing. All the candidates who spoke were warmly greeted, and the greeting given MT. Sperry was in marked con- trast with that given MT. Pigott at the Democratic rally. It is evident that MT. Sperry's candidacy inspires that kind of enthusiasm which is indicative of victory. Messrs. Harrison and Haw- ley spoke words of weight and wisdom. Chairman Macdonald did his part with tact and skill. The band was in har- mony with the occasion and did not play a doxology after the meeting was over. The rally was an entire success in spite of the storm, and it was evil dent in all that was said and done that the main issue isn't lost. The Democratic party must be destroyed.

Tight Shoes.

Tight Shocs.
 [From Harper's Young People.l
 We are very thoughtful about our hands, while we often treat our feet as though we were ashamed of or had a grudge against them, and wished to make them as uncomfortable as possi- ble. Think of the number of girls who, in choosing a pair of shoes, consider the shoes and not the feet! And so they crowd the poor little members into pitt less boots, that are too short or too narrow, and must be "broken in, (which dreadful phrase simply means that the imprisoned foot must rebel and strive till it pushes the leather away or sub dues the stubborn resistance of seam and sole. A week of torture, and then nature takes her revenge, and Minnie has a corn, and Susie has @ bunion, and Laura an ingrowing nail, and all because the boots were not selected according to common sense.
 Sometimes a girl insists on wearing a very high-heeled slipper, which tits her forward and gives her an unbecom- ing padding sort of walk, distressing to herself and absurd in the eyes of her friends. A slipper of that sort is a dis tortion and very unlovely.
 There are feet which cannot be prop erly fitted at the shoe shop. For these a last should be made and every pair of boots fitted individually. This costs more at first, but shoes thus built to or der outwear others, and are a comfort from their first to their final day. "As easy as an old shoe" is a. proverb, but like new shoes to be just as easy as old

For Judge of Probate, l.. W. CLEAVELAND, of New Haven.

What Woman can do in politics is shown in New York, where Nan McCaf- frey is making votes for Harry Miner, the Honorable Tim Cambell's opponent. Miss McCaffrey's special grievance against Cambell is that he went out side his district for a wife, and she uses this argument so skillfully as to convince many of his former supporters that he is traitor who should be pun ished.

A serious condition of affairs prevails in Indian territory, Oklahoma and western Arkansas and Kansas. Brig andage has become so general g. thing that some of the express companies have refused to ship money. That has to do with train robberies only, how ever. while there is also trouble with robbers and outlaws in many little cities, and even towns and villages of the smallest size invite the lawless classes to robberies. The bands do not, therefore, aim at great prizes ex- clusively, but enter little stores to seize necessities of life.
