Here's a story Of the telephone as it
Is used, or abused, In Russia. The use
Of the instrument to intimidate prison
ers Is the invention OF . police In
spe tor at Odessa. A man was one
day brought into the police station,
charged with having committed a se-
rious robbery. The inspector had
some difficulty In proving the case, and
had recourse TO an ingenious stratagem.
He went - the telephone In an ad-
Joining room, and asked the clerk 1T
the central Office to speak into the In
strument the following words, In q
solemn tone, "Istno Sme.ianski, you
must comics the robbery; il you don't
you are sure to be sentenced, and
your punishment will be all the more
severe"
He then sent for the prisoner and
questioned him again, threatening to
appeal to the machine" to get ut the
truth. The thief burst into q laugh,
but the inspector he'll the telephcDe
to his ear, and gave thu preconcerted
signal. The result was as expected.
The rogue, terrified by the warning
uttered by the uncanny INA hine," at
once made q clean breast OF it.

Lost His Head. Too.

When the brave Admiral Benbow
was q common sailor his messmate,
who was stationed with him at the
same gun, lost his leg by . cannon
shot. The poor fellow Instantly called
out to his friend Benbow, who imme.
diately took him upon his shoulder,
and began with great care to descend
with him to the cockpit; but it hap
pened that just as the poor fellows
head came upon q level with the deck,
another bail carried that of also.
Benbow, however, knew nothing of the
matter, but carried the body down to
the surgeon, and, when he came to the
bottom Of the ladder, called out that
he had brought him a patient, desiring
someone to bear q hand and help him
easily down. The surgeon turned
about and exclaimed:
why, what do you do here with q
man who has lost his head?"
Lost his head!" said Benbow. "The
lying scoundrel, he told me 1t was his
leg; but l never believed what he said
in my life without being sorry for 1t
afterward.'

A Vast Irrigation Scheme.

Egypt practically is just 80 much OF
the narrow Nile valley as can be fer
tilted by irrigation. Below the great
barrage, or dam, recently completed,
the agriculture Of the Delta Is carried
on by the aid of the water stored and
controlled by means Of that great work.
Above that, practically the land which
Is annually reached by the natural
overflow OF the river is productive, the
rest Is desert. 1t is proposed now, how
ever, to save and utilize much Of the
Nile water which Is lost at present by
building another vast dam and by .
system OF storage reservoirs. This
plan, it is claimed, would add 6OO,OO 0
acres to the productive land Of the
Delta and q much larger area along the
valley, and between CSC, 600, coo and
SO, COO to the annual value of the
agricultural produce OF the land.

Political Notes.
SENATOR HILL had influence enough
to defeat the nomination Of two men
for Supreme Court Justices. Has he
influence enough to defeat the Wilson
bill?
In the recent Colorado elections the
Populists carried six towns. In 1892
they carried the State by 1927 ma
jority. Populism is done for, because
there is nothing popular about it, being
merely rank despotism under q false
name.
CHICAGo's Democratic plurality for
Mayor in April, 1893, was l,089. Chi
cago's Democratic plurality for Mayor
In December, 1893, was 1880. Chica-
COS aggregate Republican plurality in
the recent ward elections was 1859.
This is the kind of change that pub
lie sentiment is undergoing in every
part Of the free voting United States.
THE Chicago Inter Ocean says the
democrats will star into the next cam
paign with l2O Congressman from the
South just as good as elected, and they
will be able to spend ell their m ney
in trying to elect 50 Democrats in the
North to eur q majority in the next
House. But even under such favorable
circumstances the Democrats are won
dering where they will get the 50.
OUR friends the enemy should try
not to feel too bad about the recent
elections and reserve some of their
grief until a ter the Congressional con
tests next fall, when they will for a
surety have something to feel sorry
for.
The bill proposing to tax greenbacks
will not be of much account as q rev.

peop'e have enough greenbacks to
make it worth while to tax them.
