MARRIAGES BY ORDER.
One Of Common Occurrence in Rus-
sia--A stratagem to Prevent
the Order.

Marriages by order were SO common
that amongst our servants, each time
young couple foresaw that they
might be ordered to marry, although
they had no mutual inclination for
each other, they took the precaution OF
standing together as godfather and
godmother at the christening Of child
in one of the peasant families. This
rendered marriage impossible accord
ing to Russian church law. The
stratagem was usually successful, but
once 1t ended in drama. Andrei, the
tailor, fell in love with girl belong
ing to one of our neighbors. He hoped
that my father would permit him to
go free, as tailor, in exchange for
certain yearly payment, and that by
working hard at his trade he could
manage, to lay some money aside and
buy freedom for the girl. Otherwise,
in marrying one Of my fathers serfs
she would have become the serf of her
husbands master. However, as An
drei and one of the maids of our house
hold foresaw that they might be or
dered to marry, they agreed to unite
as godparents in the christening of q
child. What they hadfeared happened;
one day they were called to the master
and the dreaded order was given.
''We are always obedient to your
WILL" they replied, "but few weeks
ago we acted as godfather and god
mother at a christening" Andrei also
explained his wishes and intentions.
The result was that he was sent to
the recruiting board to become sol
der.
Military service in those times was
terrible. It required a man to serve
25 years under the colors, and the life,
of a soldier was hard in the extreme. !.
i. Blows from the sergeant and the
officers, fogging with birch rods and
with sticks, for the slightest fault,
were the normal state Of affairs. The
cruelty that was displayed surpassed
all imagination.
Thus Andrei had to face for % years
the terrible fate Of soldier; all his
schemes of happiness had come to a VI
olent end. Prince Kropotkin, in At
lantic, s4ea

THE WESTERN FARMER.
IT IL a Great Race That lis Peopiing
the Plains and Pradries of i
3s Our Country.

When one hears testimony says DR.,
Albert Shaw in an article on the Trans
Mississippi exposition, to the fineness
and beauty Of all this array of ma
chinery-a beauty that liesin the ever
increasing perfection Of it's fitness for
the conditions that have to be met
one is really paying tribute to the
brains, energy, and character of the
western farmer. have been on the
Hungarian plains and witnessed the
costly attempts of the progressive gov
ernment to teach the landowners and
peasants the use of improved farm ma
chinery imported from America or
else adopted from American types.
have also observed-what is con-
fessed by the government and noted
by all who visit those regions-the per-
sistent fact of scores of men, women
and children in the cornfelds with old
fashioned hoes, while long rows of
white-tunicked men, in the bayfield, or
the ripe grain, are swinging sickles and
scythes. And little later in the sea-
son it is common enough to see the
oxen treading out the grain, or to hear
the thud of the descending fail. Mean
while, the new-fashioned corn plows
are rusting; the rejected moving and
reaping machines rot in their neg
lected corners; and the threshing ma
chine is viewed as an ill-omened mon
strosity.
1t is all simply a difference in men.
1t is great race that has peopled our
prairies and plains, and that is pro-
ducing corn, wheat, and oats by the
thousands of millions of bushels where
only few years ago there was the
ancient matted sod OF the prairies, un-
broken for centuries. The men who
drive the gangplow, ride the sulky cul-
tivator, manipulate the twine binder,
and send millions Of horned cattle,
hogs, and sheep to the packing estab-
lishments of Omaha, Kansas City and
Chicago are to be credited with a
series of achievements worthy not
merely of respect, but even of en-
thusiasm. I cannot for a moment
doubt the ability of such men to rear
Il fine and varied fabric Of civilizatio
upon SO great material foundation

near the clock During expansion the
piston rises. In the night time the
contraction of the air in the exterior
| tank reduces the air in the reservoir
and the piston lowers itself. The
ratchet arrangement winds the clock.
Mr.. Burton regards this ingenious ar
rangement as simply scientific nov
city to demonstrate the power of the
atmosphere under different tempera-
lures.
However, he has carried the expert
ment into lines showing that atmos-
pheric pressure evidently has some
thing TO do with the movement of the
earth's orbit. Mr.. Burton procured a
copper globe, which he divided into a
number of alright compartments
During exposure to the sun this globe
revolves, because, as explained by Mr.
Burton, of the expansion of the heated
air in the chambers facing the sun and
the contraction in the chambers not so
exposed. From this he argues that the
revolutions of the earth are regulated
by the expansion and contraction of
the AZ Vosphere.
To Illustrate, he says: Suppose a
belt of the earth's surface 5000 miles
wide (4,O00 north and south from the
equator) and extending east and west
around the world $4,000 miles, making
on area of 192,0o0,oo0 square miles of
surface, and the mean pressure about
five pounds to every square inch. But
as one-hnlf of this area is continually
exposed to the suns rays, and the other
half is constantly in the shadow of the
earth, there Is mean difference in the
temperature Of the atmosphere of the
hemispheres of say, ten degrees; the
air contracting on one side and ex-
panding on the other, as the suns rays
leave or fall upon the earth's surface.
The weight would be equal to 100000
square miles of water SO feet deep, cal
culated on the atmospheric pressure of
is pounds to the square inch. This
would approximate the weight Of the
OK on this great treadwheel and he
would stand on the earth s surface just
back of the dawn of day and travel
westward on the earth's surface just
at the same speed that the earth rolls
eastward, causing the earth to revolve
on the same principle that the OK on
the treadwheel causes it to revolve."
Mr.. Burton has perfected number
of curious things, of which the two
mentioned are among the most Pc
culiar He claims no special usefulness
for his clock invention, nor is 1t ap-
parent that he is seeking to profit by
any of his observation-disclosures

steamer blown Up for show.

Sending two engines against each
other at top speed on the same track
Is not sufficiently up-to-date for the
lovers Of sensation at Geneva, N. Y,
where in the presence Of several thou
sand people on shore and on observa-
tion boats, the steamer 0nondaga was
blown up by gun cotton the other day.
The steamer was large one, the
largest afoat between Albany and
Buffalo, end had been in service since
1860. She made her first trip on Abra-
ham Lincoln's Inauguration day. The
boat had outlived her usefulness, and
this means was taken Of ending her
career. The explosion was also in
tended as a celebration in honor Of
the victories of the war and as repre-
sentation of the blowing up of the
Maine. Five hundred pounds of gun
cotton and 800 pounds of blasting pow
der were touched off by an electric
button on boat a mile distant. The
boat was blown almost to atoms, not
vestige remaining above water. .Ex-
cursions were run to Seneca lake by
the railroads.--Chicago Inter Oaean.

WHY THE EARTH GOES ROUND.
An Indiana Scientist shows That 1t In
the SUMS Heat which Keeps
Us Turning.

The venerable Mr.. NJ. Burton, Of In
dianapolis, a student, has for many
years been striving to demonstrate the
theory as to the worlds revolution and
the power of the expansion and con-
traction of atmosphere, and along the
line of his experiments has constructs
ed clock which has been running for
three years and six months, keeping
good time and winding itself. He does
not claim perpetual motion for the in
vention, leaving the experiment to
speak for itself The clock may be said
to be wound by the solar system, the
axiom Of heat expanding and cold con-
tracing being the basis. In other
words the clock is wound by changes
In temperature, the principal force be-
ing day and night differences.
He found, after experimenting, there
is an average difference of 20 degrees
in temperature between day and night,
the day, of course, being the warmer.
1t follows that the heat of the day ex-
pands, while the lower temperature of
the night contracts. Mr.. Burton took
an ordinary old style clock. using
weight. Outside of his house Is tin
tank, ten feet high and nine inches in
diameter, which is alright. From 1t
tube runs into the cellar, leading to q
cylindrical reservoir, which receives
the air from the tank. In this reser-
voir there is piston, the rod Of which
moves with ratchet between the
chain on which the piston depends.
The heat Of the sun expands the at
mosphege in the exterior tank, thus
forcing aIy excess into the reservoir

number OF the Hswaiians who took
an active part in the revolt OF 1895
met last evening at Arion Hall and
organized a society to be known

those who were engaged in the up
rising in 1895 aud it's object will be
to keep the boys together and IRE

No More Pies.

Two bluejackets were arraigned
in the District Court this morning
on a charge of assault and battery
on a Chinaman who dispenses coffee
(?) and pies. A dispute arose in re-
gard to the pies. The Chinaman
claimed that the boys ate the pies,
and took away the tin plate
on which they we're served, (prob-
ably because the tin plate was as
digestible as the pies), and that they
shook him when he requested the
return of the plate. Judge Wilcox
told the bluejackets that all wish
them to enjoy life in Honolulu and
if their special mode of enjoyment
is pie eating in Chinese coffee
houae they are welcome to it but
they must not carry away more
than they pay for or bully the "pie
men," AS the evidence was rather
conflicting the sailors were dis
charged with fatherly advice from
the magistrate not to buy their pie
in the future from that particular
Chinaman.
The spokesman of the twain on
leaving the court said: "You bet,
not from that heathen or any ybody
else. No more pies for these
chickens" And they went on board
to interview the officer of the day
and explain their remaining ashore

AS it was understood by most Of
those present at the Sharpshooter's
banquet last evening the expressed
policy of the Hawaiian section Of
our Government is decidedly in
favor of territorial government in
the future, with equal rights for all
citizens, the natives as we'll as the
whites, aud an honest desire on
their part that the native Hawaiian
shall have free and equal voice in
the conduct Of affairs and free ex-
preston before the congressional al
commissioners in support OF such
rights aud privileges. Under such
circumstances the native Hawaiaps
should do some careful thinking
and not act inconsiderately. 1t ap-
pears to us, that their future is en-
tirely in their own hands.
