shrueeing the Shoulders.

Shrugging the shoulders in cold
weather is probably the survival of an
old instinct, which prompts animals to
put the skin of the back on the stretch,
and SO erect the hairy covering Of that
part. The hair Is now recovering to a
mere downy covering, but the old in
stinct still remains, in common with
others, the rule apparently being that
all instincts which are harmless to their
possessors are constant, in spite Of any
change Of structure. All animals with
long hair or feathers erect their coats
in cold weather, for che warmth Of such
a covering depends on it's thickness and
the amount of air it contains, rather
than ON its bulk.

The assassination of ruler in a CIV
ilized nation is always an act Of lunacy.
1t cannot advance the cause which the
assassin seeks to promote. On the con-
trary, it strengthens, by the help which
human sympathy brings, the cause rep
resented by the victim Of the crime.
This fact makes such murder as that
Of CanOvas an act of lunacy. It shows
the loss of reason--of the faculty that
applies means to an end, that adapts
q cause to the effect that Is to be pro-
duced. But it is not irresponsible lun-
acy in the eye of the criminal law nor
In the eye Of justice. The assassins
who have ended the lives of rulers in
other countries were not different in
their mental temperature from Wilkes
Booth or Guiteau, the two historical
American assassins. All were alike
crazy, like other men with homicidal
mania, who destroy life and whose
cases occupy large part of the atten-
ton of the criminal courts. The case of
Prendergast, who assassinated Mayor
Harrison of Chicago, is one Of the same
class. A man who has sense enough to
procure weapon for the purpose of

Interesting announcement of the dis

ness which, so far as it has been tried,
has scored a larger percentage of
cures than any other system Of treat
ment for alcoholism now before the
public. Unlike many "cures" of that
sort no drugs are introduced into the
patients system. The treatment ope-
rates directly upon the will and it's in
duence is entirely mental. Whenever
a resident Of Sisterville gets drunk he
Is arrested by the police, but instead Of
spending night in Jail he is put inside
of an old gas tank, and the boys of the
village roll it about the streets an hour
or two, beating lively tattoo upon it
with sticks and stones. When the pa
tient Is removed from the tank he usu-
ally Is quite SOBER thoroughly repent
ant and eager to take any temperance
pledge which may be proposed. The
Sisterville "cure'' has been in opera
ton several months, and no man has
had to take 1t more than once. In view
OF such an unbroken record of successes
we feel warranted in calling public at
tention to it as a promising agent of
temperance reform. Similia similibus

While this country has been engaged
in the development Of the electric rail-
way the countries Of Europe, especially
France and England, have been giving
attention to vehicles propelled by other
than horse power. One reason for this
divergence is the excellence of the
streets and roads In Europe and the
conservative policy there in regard to
allowing railway tracks on the avenues.
The result Of the different lines Of ex-
pertinent has been the advancement of
the electric railway in the United States
beyond all comparison, while in Eu-
rope the motor carriages, or automo-
biles, as they are called in France, have
no rivals elsewhere. Our jealous devo-
ton to the electric railway places us so
far ahead in it's practical application
that large electric equipments for Lon
don and Dublin have been ordered in
this country. Though Europe leads at
present in motor carriages, the varieties
are so many that their most desirable
form Is still an open question. But
enough is known to assure the complete
riage, both for public and private uses.
1t is no longer in doubt in either the
mechanical or the economic sense. In
Paris, at least 1000 automobiles in
public use and they are becoming COM
mon in other large French cities. The
French prefer carriages driven by
naphtha or petroleum engines for the
lighter traffic, and those driven by
steam for heavier service. The London
electric cabs, which are multiplying in
the streets and are run at the regular
cab fare, are propelled by storage bat
teries. A score Of electric cabs, with
storage batteries, are running in the
streets Of New York. They seat two
passengers and are popular at the legal
rate of SO cents an hour. Some heavier
vehicles to seat three or four persons
have been ordered at a cost Of $1,000
each, the storage batteries Of which are
charged from a regular commercial
light current.

Rev. DR.. Richard S. Rust Is one OF

his youth-and he has now reached OLD

of the colored people Of the LAND. Be
fore the civil war he worked Tor thelr
freedom. Since the war he has WORKED
to increase their culture. All his NE
long he has been connected with eau
cational institutions for their especlal
benefit. He has made for hlmselI an
imperishable record as an agent OF CIV
ilization, and his name will never be
forgotten by the freedmen Of the Uni
ted States. DR.. Rust was born IN New
England, where revolt against slavery
was indigenous, and there was never
any doubt about his willingness to be
classed among the "black RepuDll-
cans" or the greasy mechanics" or
whatever else the advocates OF the
greatest of national reforms were then
contemptuously called. Perhaps he
was never actually assaulted While
preaching and lecturing for emancapa-
ton, but over and over again he had
experiences violent enough to appall
any but the most stout-hearted. Over
forty years ago he became president OF
the Freedman's College at Xenia, Ohio,
and while hslding this position he had
much to do with the insertion Of the
clauses against slavery into the gen.
eral Methodist discipline. After the
war DR.. Rust was the father Of the
Methodist policy Of extending schools
for freedmen all over the South, which
has resulted in about eighty institu-
lions that serve as lighthouses Of
knowledge to the whole colored race:
