obtains that internal Russia is nearly as
badly off as is China when it comes to
arming reserve or providing for war on
large scale. If these things are true, it
is possible that reason is found not
heretofore mentioned for the indisposi-
ton of Russia to go to war; 1t may ac-
count for the conservative policy of the
late Gar. Of course these tales have not
been verified, and cannot be- Only war

A RIGHT MOVEMENT:

Steps are being taken to induce the
proper authorities TO call the National
Conventions of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Peoples parties for 1896 to meet
in the State of California.
To Californians it is wholly unnecessi-
sary to advance arguments in favor of
this proposition-the good reasons for it
are obvious; the value to all the States of
the Pacific Coast of these conventions be-
ing held in California must be apparent
to all.
It is not so much to show the State
to the representatives of these parties
from all the States and Territories, as it is
to give the Pacific States larger place in
the national eye; to assert through the
gentle agency of hospitality the right of
this State and the whole coast to more of
national consideration, and to greater and
closer attention by the people of our COM
mon country lying East of the Rocky
Mountains.
1t is no secret disclosed to say that at
the East we have not that place in public
| thought which, without the slightest
! expression Of vanity, we are convinced
We have the right to occupy.
These bare intimations of benefit will
suggest to our people great many de-
tailed reasons why this movement should
be energetically promoted. Now let the
matter be taken up in all parts of the
State, and so pushed to the front, and with
such dignity and force and hospitable in
sistence, that the end desired may be ac-
complished. Let US take time by long
forelock, and, resolved to succeed, suffer
no defeat Of that determination.

Coal Burned on an Atlantic Liner

Not a little guesswork has been gone
through by many as 10 the probab BILE
quantities of coal which are daily
shoyeled into the furnace e-mouths of such
big Atlantic liners as the steamers Paris.
New 1ork, Campania and Lucania. Ten
years ago l00 tons day was considered a
most prodIglous consumption, little likely
to be exceeded in the years to come, and
wondering comment there was IN plenty
that so vast quantity should lind
legitimate outlet. Since then, however
the public mind has been educated up to
higher figures, and statements Of 200 and
even 800 tons day have ceased to attract
more than passing notice. Three hun
dred and fifty tons, in fact, are said to be
burned on the Paris and the New York
in every twenty-four hours, but OF the
Lucania and Campania no particulars
have ever been given, so that an approxi-
nation based on what is known of the
power equipment of these ships is all that
can be offered. Twenty eight thousand
horse-p power has been assumed to be the
amount that each ofthese vessels requires
to propel them at the great speeds which
they maintain. Added to this power of
the main engines must be the appreciable
figure represented by the host OF auxili
airy engines and pumps which are neces
sary adjuncts, and which, with the steam
heating systems and hot-water apparatus,
help to swell the steam consumption to
such degree that a total allowance OF,
say, sixteen pounds of steam per hour
for each of the $4,000 horsepower may be
taken as quite within the mark. Allow
ing, then, to boiler performance OF
eight pounds of steam per pound of coal,
which cannot be far wrong, we have
coal consumption Of two pounds per hour
for each horsepower, or $1,000 pounds,
equivalent to 600 tons per day. This is
pretty plain figuring, though, of course,
partly speculative, and while the out
come may seem exaggeratedly high, it,
no doubt, quite truthfully represents the
facts in the case.-Cassier's Magazine.

A Terrible visitant.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and
often domiciles itself with one for life.
This infiiction is preventible, in cases of
rheumatism, by timely resort 10 Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters, which checks
the encroachments of this obstinate and
dangerous nlalady at the outset. The
term dangerous" is used advisediy, for
rheumatism is always liable to attack the
vital organs and terminate life. No tesli-
mony is more conclusive and concurrent
than that of physicians who testify to the
excellent effect of the Bitters in this dis
ease. Persons incur Wetting in rainy
or snowy weather, and who are exposed
to draughts, should use the Bitters as
preventive Of i'll effects. Malaria, dys-
pepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nery-
BUSINESS and debility are also among the
ailments to which this popular medicine
is adapted. For the infrmities, soreness
and stiffness OF the aged it is highly bene-
fetal.

Mrs. Bayard, wife OF or American
Minister, tells the most pathetic story
of how she had to arise one morning
at 5 to meet an engagement with a
hair-dresser, as it was the only hour
that he could give her during the day.
The function was her presentation to
the Queen of England, and naturally
her looks had to be arranged accord

parted hair drawn down over her ears
after the Madonna mode. Pretty girls
have dis6gured themselves trying to
carry out a classical arrangement OF
the hair when it was diametrically op

and heads.
The hair will be crlmped, if posi-
BILE, more than ever; and it will be
loosely drawn back from the temples,
not down over the ears, as 1t was last
season. The top of the enr is no
longer covered; the hair must be
placed back of it. Doubtless great
many false waves will be worn. They
are cleverly attached to small comb
which is put il back of the front hair'
which is worn in soft curls on the
brow. The hair continues to be
dressed on the crown of the head, out
the arrangement is more elaborate.
Soft, natural looking waves OF hair
are made by rolling it over large soft
kid curriers', rolling from the top ol
the curl toward the end. The halr
should be wet and LETT on the rolls
over night. If that is not done, plueh
