FEROCITY OF A LADY MAYOR
ESS.

She Gives an Audacious Councilman
Bit of Her Mind.
Mrs Yates, the lady mayoress Of
Onehunga, New Zealand, has not yet
succeeded in persuading some of the
male members of the council to ac-
cept her rulings without murmrr. At
a recent meeting Of that body an out
break of typhoid fever in the borough
was under discussion, and councillor
expressed the opinion that certain cor
respondence had been kept back,
whereupon the mayoress said: Il in
sist upon an apology from you, Mr..
Tapp, for making that remark, and
shall adopt a similar course with any
other councillor so expressing himself"
But Mr.. Tapp denied that he had
accused her worship Of keeping back
correspondence.
The Mayoress-I won't allow any
councillor to insinuate that have kept
back correspondence.
Mr.. Tapp-You quite misunderstood
me, Mrs. Taylor.
Afterward Mr.. Tapp insisted upon
speaking when he was ruled out Of
order. The mayoress said: Il am the
person to dictate, not you"
Mr.. Tapp-Oh, no, you're not.
The Mayoress-Don't answer me
back.
The lady, it will be seen. got the
last word.

some Feature. Of Gales.

r. n. Curtis, in describing the work.
ing Of the ''bridled" thermometer. says
the greatest force of an individual gust
which he has met with was registered
4 IN December, 1891, and amounted to
rate Of Ill miles per hour, which, with
the old factor, would be equivalent to
rate Of about 16O miles per hour. A
speed of from 90 to 100 miles IN hour
aas often been recorded, but the usual
limit for gusts may be taken to equal
about eighty miles an hour, which, on
the old scale, would be equivalent to
about 100 miles an hour. Gales and
strong winds differ very much in char
acter, and Mr.. Curtis has been able to
group them into three classes. Some
gales are essentially squally in charac-
ter, and in them the gusts constitute
the main feature of the air motion. In
an average gale the ordinary gusts fol-
oW each other at intervals of about
ten to twenty seconds, while the heav-
Ter gusts occur at the rate of about one
Der minute. In another class Of gales
The velocity of the wind is tolerably
steady. In the third class are gales
which appear to be made up of two
series of rapidly succeeding squalls
the one series travelling ut compare
lively low rate Of velocity, the other ut
1 much higher one. the wind force
shifting rapidly and very frequently
from one series to the other. A char.
icteristic of certain gales is prolonged
pulsation in the wind force, recurring
over an extended period with more or
less regularity every twenty minutes
or half an hour In other cases the in
terval Of recurrence would be about an
lOur. more or less.

WEAK SPOT IN Russ1A's ARMY.
Her Hordes of Cossncks Likely TO
Dwindle in Case of War.

Her Hordcs of Cossnckx Likely to
Dwindle in Case Of War.
The war against Turkey in 1877 laid
bare most completely the incapacity OF
the Cossack armies to meet the de
mands made upon them by the govern
ment, says writer in Harper's Maya
zine. Their strength had been mostly
upon paper, and for the most part they
completely failed to bring to the front
the proportion of men and horses de-
handed of them. In the event Of the
next war it may be safely reckoned
that, beyond the Cossacks now actually
in the field on peace footing, Russia
will he unable to bring out more than
about 10 per cent of the vast hordes
which figure In her statistics and our
Biographies. The nominal strength Of
a Cossack regiment in time of peace
is 1000 men, the regiment consisting
of six sotmas, or scuadrons According
to the official statement Of 1892 the six
Cossaclz armies or communities of Eu-
ropean Russia are expected n time OF
war to furnish the following fighting
force Of men, these figures representing
pretty well the relative strength Of the
different bodies: Don, G4,O69; Kuban,
44,Sn6; Orenburg, 1866; Terek, 11,5l9;
Ural $3.50, and Astrakhan, 1850.
This makes total war strength for
the European Cossack armies of, rough
ly, 10000 men.
The Cossacks of the Asiatic armies,
to-wit, the 'rransbaikal, Siberian, Sc
mirijetschensk, Amoor and Ussuri, to
which may be added couple Of indie
nendent sq,ladrons Of Irkutsk and
Krassnoy-all these together constitute
less than $4,000 men and need not be
considered in connection with a Euro
pean war. They will operate as men,
ace along the British Indian frontier,
however, affecting the issue to some
extent indirectly. The Don Cossacks
include in their organization twenty
two batteries of horse artillery, the
Kubans five, Orenburg six and Terek
two, these being the only artillery fur
nished by the European Cossacks In
time of peace all the Cossacks Of the
empire in active service number barely
$4,000 men, a number which in time Of
war is presumed to rse to three times
that figure, or, to quote Official figures,
$4,000.

A Rapid Stamp AmAer.

A new machine has come out for
rapidly affixing postage stamps or Ia
bells. 1t is claimed that with a little
practice an average boy can work the
machine so as to stamp 1000 letters an
hour, and as the number of letters
stamped is registered on dial inside
the case, a check is kept on the stamps
used, and secret pilfering is impossible.
One good feature of the machine is that
the stamps cannot get mislaid, as they
are under lock and key, and there is
no necessity for the operator to have
access to the interior. A sheet of
stamps is first placed on a reel, which
takes about two minutes The case Is
then opened and the reel is dropped
into position. AS soon as the case is
shut down and locked the machine is
ready for use. BY one revolution of
the handle q stamp is projected,
damped, detached and affixed to the
letter or circular, the handle on the
registering dial simultaneously moving
one point. The rubber block which
presses the stamp on the letter instant.
~ returns to its position. ar the
stamping operation can be rapidly re-
peated until the supply of stamps Is
exhausted. There is a simple but
clever arrangement whereby the ma
chine is thrown out of gear for the
night, SO that it is impossible to work
1t from the outside until it has been
reset, and the stamps cannot be with
drawn from the spool. The ordinary
spool is made to hold 500 stamps but
a larger size can be obtained If de-
sired. The machine can be adapted to
the affixing of all kinds Of small-sized
labels.

WHO STOLE IT

The Fargo Argus besides being
dishonest about the McLean-Ki
bill, is mendacious. Its other efforts
to screen the late executive in the
interest of the railroads who are its
owner and master, show that it is
not reliable. It now turns around
and charges Haugen, Hamilton and
Walsh with being in the steal-bc-
cause there is bill, in the office of
the secretary of state containing
their signatures. 1t fails to say
that that is the original House bill
offered by MeLean-which never
passed the senate. Of course, when
messaged to the senate 1t would con-
tain all the signatures referred to-.
But the Kinter substitute for it, hav-
ing passed the senate, Kinter's bill
had to go to the house for concurr-
ence. The house concurred as the
records shows that this is the bill
that Arnie p. Haugen's record shows
was duly signed by the Lieut.. Gov
crnor and all the rest and recsipted
for by the Governors private secre-
tarv. The Argus, or Jim Hills
toot-horn, cannot wipe out the facts.
1t is a piece of spiteful mendacity
for the facile Argus slave, whose
crooked political record is too we'll
