END-OF-THE-woRLD PROPHETS.
They Keep Cropping Up in Spite of
InnumerabIe Failures.

From the Philadelphia Press.
It is a most remarkable book that has
just been issued in the little town Of
Vichy, France, and Of which a single
copy, so far as 1t is known, has made its
way to this country. It's author is the
Abbe Dupn, cure Of the village of Dion,
and he declares that he has discovered in
dubltable evidence of the approaching end
Of all things. The great coup" as he
calls It will he assures us, take place in
all probability on Sep 10 or 20, Of this
year, certainly before the close Of 1898.
What makes this statement so extraor-
binary Is the fact that the author declares
that mis- work Is issued with the sanction
of Uhe Catholic authorities. He disclaims
any attempt TO inculcate any except or
the title of the book is curious, and re-
minds one OF the hrst pages OF some Ellz-
abethan romance Here is part Of it:
The grand coup, or universal cataclysm
Will raVage the world between the 10Th
and 2lst of September, 1885, as foretold in
Scriptures: The prophecies of the Old
and New Testament compare with those
Of the Father, and with the secrets of La
Salette, in which are foretold the great
war which VIII destroy nine-tenths OF the
human race, the coming Of antichrist, and
his reign, after which the church will tri-
umph over her enemies and the reign OF
Christ begin on earth"
The book Is divided into two parts In
the first The author foretens the events
which are about to occur, including the
deVasta don of the world by wars earth
quakes and plaques, the birth Of anti
christ, whose mother, ne says, is already
here, and terrible cataclysm, the ma
ture of which Is vague, which will leave
few human beings alive. All this, he de-
clares, he has found, on unimpeachable
authority, to be due to occur at the time
ne states.
The second part contains his reasons sor
selecting the tims he specifies. 1t consists
the kind with which readers of similar
prophecies are familiar. Some of the coin
cidences he mentions are curious but peo-
pie Will probably not alarm themselves
to any great extent by his warnings
The chief interest in the book lies in the
position Of its writer, The prophet is ever
with US, and regularly has predicted tho
end Of all things, for nearly every year for
the last 500. Rev" Mr.. Baxter created
quite a sensation in England few years
ago by assuring his hearers that thew
might expect the end of the world in 1851
That year went by and nothing particular
happened and the prophet then shifted his
date a year or two forward He Is pror-
ably at the same game and finds a fresh
stock OF believers every year who are,
foolish enough to credit him and fnot-
dentally, support him and his family
But the French abbe's book is Of a dir
ferent character. Rome has discourage4
any visions of this kind IN her priests
knowing that whatever TEMPORARY erect
they may have Is soon DESTROYED when fhs
futiilty 1.-the prophecy is discovered The
able IS doubtless claiming more authority
than he has. -

SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE.
Resumes His Diplomatic Functions a
Washington.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fc te, has lost no time after his long alb
sence in London, in renewing his dip
lomatic functions in Washington.
Within twentyfour hours Of his return
he had a short interview with the Sec
ratary of State, after which SIR Julian
called at the Executive Mansion and
left his card fog the President.
1t was stated authoritatively that Sir
Julian's call to-day was merely one or
courtesy, and that to some time in the
near future was left the formal con-
ferences' which it is hoped on both sides
will result in the settlement OF the
Venezuelan controversy. Subsequent
to the visit, however, Sir Julian sent
bundle OF papers from the embassy to
the Secretary, including the long sought
list of bona fide colonsts who had set
tied in the disputed territory previous
to January /, 1887, together with de-
scription of their holdings and the char
acter Of improvements they had made.
These settlements constituted substan-
TALLY the only point of difference be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Secretary
Olney when the summer vacation in
terrupted the negotiations, and the
Forthcoming conferences are to be prac-
tioally confined to these points.
Lord SalisburyS proviso was that the
boundary line to be drawn by the pro-
posed arbitration tribunal of three was
not to include as the territory of Venez-
uela any territory which was bona fide
occupied by the subjects of Great Brit
ain on the 1st of January, 1887, or as
territory of Great Britain any territory
occupied by bona fde settlers Of
Venezuela at the same time.
Secretary OIneyS substitute PROPOSE
tiOn was that each of Lord Salisbury 5
provisOs should be stricken out alto
gether, or there might be substituted
for 1T the following: provided, how
ever, that in fixing such line if territory
of one party be found in the occupa-
ton of the subjects or citizens Of the
other party, such weight and effect
shall be given to such occupation as
reason, justice, the rules OF internatiOn-
al law and the equities Of the particular
cases may appear to require"
1t is stated that the revised suggestion
| upon which Great Britain looks to a
speedy close of the negotiations deals
with a plan to affirm the titles Of indi-
viduals to the property they have ac-
quired in case the contemplated bound
ary tribunal decides to change the ma
tiOnality of the settled districts by
awarding the territory now occupied by
Great Britain to Venezuela. The limits
within which England might consent to
make an agreement for full arbitrat ton
would include a stipulation that the
settlers shall not be disturbed, and that
their possessions shall be o11arantea
to them.
Secretary Olney's counter proposition
under this head is declared to be too
indefinite and specific provision Of
permanency is insisted upon. The
earlier suggestion of England that in
case of an adverse decision of her claim
she should have the right to purchase
| these settled districts is stated to have
been firmly declined by Venezuela with
the concurrence of the United States.

sHAsTA's COUNTY TREASURER.
William Jackson Now Occupies Cell
in the Redding Prison.

REDDING, Oct. 23.-The beginning Of
the end in the affairs of VIM. jackson,
Shasta County's defaulting Treasurer,
was seen this evening, and tonight the
embeZZling Treasurer occupies a cell in
the County Prison.
When Jacksons shortage was ex-
posed by his concocted story to the eff
feet that a robbery Of the treasury had
been attempted, and that he was quite
seriously hurt in the encounter with the
robbers, his bondsmen began an investi-
cation, and at a casual inspection of
the books and accounts placed the def
cheney at S21, 900. This afternoon the
report of the expert hired to examine
the books brought Jackson's shortage
up to such an alarming figure that his
bondSmen became uneasy.
AS the books and report now stand,
Jackson is an embeZzler to the extent of
$4,000, and it is believed that the
amount will reach S60UOO, and perhaps
100000 by the end of the week, when
the experts work will have been COM
pleted. The embezzling had been going
on for ten years past.
Jackson was arrested tonight and
held in default of $40, 900 bail

AN ACCOMPLISHED BIRD.
He Herded Cattle and Acted as Police
man Among Poultry.

The use of wild birds and animals
employed as involuntary agents by no
means marks the limit Of their possible
services. There are some species which
have never been domesticated in the
proper sense of the word, which have
natural proclivities for making them
selves useful in captivity. In the case
Of some BIRDS" says Brehm, their rea-
son is awakened, developed and culti-
waited by contact with man. We do
rot affirm that any action of bird
which to us is incomprehensible is orig
irally due to mans agency. but simply
that birds adopt much which is IN har-
mony with their altered conditions and
surroundings"
The concrete instance which he ad-
duces later of the way in which birds
may not only acquiesce in these con-
ditions, but assume the ideas and du-
ties of men, is the absolutely reliable
account of his friend Won Seyfferts s
tame crane. OF these he had pair,
which soon lost all fear Of man and Of
domestic animals, and became strongly
attached to the former. Their life in
4 German village, in which agriculture
was the sole employment, and of the
communal system Of joint herding Of
cattle and swine, and driving them to-
gether to the common pasture, pre-
vailed, was very much to their taste
They soon knew all the inhabitants in
the place, and, until the female crane
died, used to call regularly at the
houses to be fed. When the female
died the survivor at once took as a new
friend bull He would stand by the
bull in the stall and keep the flies off
him, scream when he roared dance be-
fore him, and follow him out with the
herd In this association the crane saw
and remarked the duties of the cow
herd, and one evening brought home
the whole of the village herd of heifers
unaided and drove them into the stable.
From that time the crane undertook
so many duties that it was busy from
dawn till night. He acted as police
man among the poultry, stopping all
fights and disorder. He would stand
by a horse when left in a cart and pre-
vent it from moving by pecking it's
nose and screaming. A turkey and
gamecock were found fighting, whereon
the crane first fought the turkey and
then sought out and thrashed the cock.
Meantime it always "herded" the cattle,
rot always with complete success
These were collected in the morning by
the sound of a horn, and some would
lag behind. On one occasion the crane
went back, drove up some tagging
heifers through the street, and then
frightened them so much that they
broke away and ran two miles in the
wrong direction. The bird could not
bring them back. but drove them into
a field, where it guarded them till they
were fetched. 1t would drive out tres
passing cattle as cOurageously as a
dog, and, unlike most busybodies, was
a universal favorite, and the pride of
the village.-Cornhill Magazine

work of the evening aprons and cans are
provided for each participant, plenty OF
buttered tins made ready, measuring
cups and spoons and ice water for test
ing the candies placed at hand, besides
several pairs of heavy shears for cutting
the candy. Thus equipped, the work
goes merrily on and much sport is de-
rived from the rivalry among the fair
cooks. Great is the interest taken in the
various connections as they boil and
bubble, and conversation never flags for
want of a subject. AS the syrup begins
to give forth its aroma, mouths water
and eyes brighten at the prospect of the
feast ahead. The following recipes have
all been tried and approved:
Popcorn Balls.-Popcorn enough to
make two good quarts when done; salt
to taste; boil in the chafing dish one cup
New Orleans molaSses, one cup brown
sugar, one even tablespoonful butter,
one-half tablespoonful vinegar. When
the candy is done, which is determined
by the usual test of dropping in cold
water as it begins to thicken, to judge
Of it's brittleness, stir in all the corn
the candy will take, being careful that
no hard kernels get in. Pour on but
tered platters and roll lightly and deft-
ly into balls.
Everton Taffie.-Two cups granu-
sugar, one-half cup hot water, one
tablespoonful butter, one teaSpOOnfm
vinegar, boil about twenty minutes,
testing in cold water. 1t can be favored
by adding one-haf teaspoonful vanilla
when done, if desired. Pour on buttered
tins and mark in squares as it coolS. 1t
may also be favored with a few drops
of ginger instead Of vanilla, if desired.
Everton Taffiffie.-Two cups granu-
lated sugar, one cup hot water, four
level tablespoonfuls butter, one-half
teaspoonful lemon juice. Put all the in
gradients into the dish, excepting the
lemon juice, which is to be added just
before the taffie is done. Keep stirring
until it is brittle when dropped in cold
water, and pour on buttered dish.
Chocolate Caramels.-Two cups brown
sugar, one cup New Orleans molasses,
one cup grated chocolate, ole cup warm
milk, one tablespoonful flour. two table
spoonfuls butter. Boil over hot water
pan and pour on fiat buttered tins to
cool, marking into squares as it hard
ems 1t may be favored with a few
drops of vanilla or cinnamon stirred in
at the very last.
Concord Cream Peppermints.-Two
cups granulated sugar, one-half cup of
water After it begins to boil, boil eight
minutes. Take it off, add eight drops
peppermint, beat hard and drop from
end of spoon on waxed paper
Sailed Almonds.-Heat one table,
spoonful best butter or one scant tea
spoonful olive oil smoking hot Then
add one-half pound Jordan almonds
blanched. When the almonds begin to
brown sprinkle over them one scant ta-
blespoonful salt and stir and shake un-
til a golden brown. Oil gives higher
glaze than butter. Peanuts may be
treated in the same way. Buy raw
shell, put in oven until the skin cracks,
brush them off and proceed as with the
almonds.
