No man Is better known and liked in
that rich tier Of Illinois counties, Of which
Peoria is the centre, than genial Chester S.
Harrington, Of Princeville, Ill.
MIR. Harrington is veteran Of the late
war. Like many another brave soldier, ne
suffered not only during that service, but
for years afterwards from diseases con-
tracted then.
For years his health was shattered, his
sufferings increased. He was unable to
gain relief, bot now he tells story which

The Unwritten Law of "cache. /"

A curious account, from an Eastern
point of view, is given by Mr.. Crosse,
who has Just returned from tour OF ex-
ploration in the Canadian Northwest,
concerning the law of Cache" man
going along wishes to leave, say his
coat, behind, for reasons of personal
comfort. He hangs it on a tree, and it
will be there for him il he does not return
for week. Similarly the ownership of
a suspended gun or rifle is respected Mr.
Crosse says man would be safe in hang
ing his gold watch and chain on tree
with the assurance that it would be
there when he returned to claim it. A
cache of provisions is subject to slight
modification in respect to the rule of in
volatility. A hungry Indian discover
ing such will make fire in front oft. to
make it apparent that there is no secrecy
intended in connection with his visit.
He will then take from the cache suf-
ficient food for his immediate needs and
pass on, without touching anything
more.-[ Montreal Star.

Bismarck and America.

In the October Century there is an
article on Bismarck by Professor William
NJ. Sloane. Prof. Sloane says:
Bismarck's feeling towards the United
States have been OF composite charac-
ter. On the one hand, he saw with dis.
may the extent and quality OF German
emigration. A landed proprietor him
self, he could not but sympathize with
his fellow-younkers, whose peasant
villages were partly and in many cases
entirely deserted by their inhabitants.
Labor became scarce and dear; American
and English agricultural machinery fore
ed on unwilling buyers, who fretted uu-
der the compulsory use OF what they
could not easily manipulate; prices OF
farm products no longer assured by the
demands of home market, but subject
ed to the fluctuations of world market
in which the United States are the con-
trolling dealer-all these things gave him
pain and anxiety. He suffered, too,
along with his class. AS patriot he
felt it likewise to be grave matter that
so many thousands should evade their
military service, and still more grave
that millions should substantiate the
saving that Germans had little patriot
ism, exemplifying in the case with which
they acquired new citizenship, the motto:
Ubi bene, ibi patria ("My fatherland is
where am prosperous"). The prosper
ity and contentedness of The German
American were menace to the institu-
tions under which he had been neither
prosperous nor contented. He also saw
that the growing industries of the United
States would make them dangerous
rival Of Germany in the coming struggle
for commercial supremacy with Great
Britain. p.,.,.
On the other hand, two OF Bismarck's
warmest friendships were with Americans

A Floating Island.

James R. John of Missouri has the
strangest home in the United States. He
lives on floating island in the Mississ-
ippi, known as the Arsenal Island. The
island is the property Of J. S. Pitts6eld OF
Illinois, but is leased by John, who lives
upon it. His house is in the midst Of a
pretty grove of willows, elms, sycamores,
and cottonwoods at the upper end Of the
island. 1t is a modest little one.story
building, with FIVE rooms, which are very
clean and comfortable. 1t is surround
ed by storage.houses and poultry yards.
Stretching away from the grove are
many acres of fertile land in an excellent
state fcultivation. Since 1853 Arsenal
Island has moved southwark 5000 feet.

garding cures that had been effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, I
decided to try them. That was In 1896.

made affidavit to its truthfulness before

No more startling or revolving crime
could have been committed than the
murder OF the Empress OF Austria. Not
since Marie Antoinette was sent to the
guillotine has there been a crime more
apt to awaken that sentiment of chival-
ric pity and indignation to which, on the
earlier occasion, Burke gave expression
in words that are likely to be remem-
bered as long as the English language
endures. Now, as then. queen has been
chosen for murder because she was a
queen, but in this case it was queen
beloved by all her people. 1t is scarcely
conceivable, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly, that an Austrian or Hunga-
rian, even an anarchist, could have been
found to raise his dagger against the be-
loved Elizabeth, who was beloved of all
her people, ana whose person formed, it
is not too much to say, one Of the strong
est bonds of the dual monarchy. Only a
foreigner could do it, and it is not Won
derful that Austrian mobs should have
risen against Italian residents in Austria
to avenge the crime of an Italian.
And there is no reason to suppose that
the wretch committed his crime as AN
Italian. He was a murderer in his char.
acter of an enemy of the human race.
Envy, hatred, and malice, and all I'M
chartableness are of no country. Nei-
Their are they of any time. We are apt
to look upon anarchism as a new disease.
In fact, it is as old as failure. The MUIR
der of Marie Antoinette reminds us that
when the failures OF society gain control
of society, they will revenge themselves
upon it's successes. and without respect
OF persons. hundred years ago the cry
was aristocrats to the lantern. Now it
is, Down with the bourgeois" When
the Spanish anarchists destroyed thea
tire for the supposed purpose of killing a
parsonage who escaped, their organs
proclaimed the massacre to be neverthe-
less a success, since only well.to-do per.
sons were killed. Whoever is out OF debt,
and whoever is contented. is mark for
the modern Adulamites.

r1assacre IN Crete.

The assassination of an empress counts
for more in certain circles than the mass
acre of thousand peasants. SO it hap
pens that the newspapers of last month
gave great deal more space to the
stabbing of the eccentric absentee wife of
the Austrian Emperor, who roamed
about Europe in pursuit of her own
private, unimportant whims, than to
the frightful slaughter of Christians by
Mohammedans in the island of Crete. If
the European powers had only support
ed Prince George of Greece when he made
his raid for the purpose Of quieting Crete
and annexing it to Greece, much subse-
quent trouble would have been avoided.
For example, there would have been no
Turkish campaign in Thessaly. Through
all these weary months the European
powers have tried to maintain a joint
naval and military control of Crete with
out, however, sending away the Turkish
troops. The recent massacre Of Chris
tians, which seems to have been carried
on mainly by the Turkish soldiers them
selves, had its immediate beginning in a
quarrel with certain Englishmen; and it
seems that before the whole affair was
at an end England lost about as many
subjects by reason of this uprising in
Crete as in the battles of the memorable
campaign which has just succeeded in
capturing Khartoum. If Lord Salisbury
had only sided courageously with the
Greeks at the proper moment, this re-
tribution would have been spared. The
British admiral has now acted with
much energy, and his ultimatum has led
the Sultan to consent reluctantly to the
disarmament of the Mohammedans in
Crete. England would have the hearty
approval of the United States if she
should proceed to settle the Cretan ques-
ton once for all.-[From 1.-THE Progress

There is naturally no such thing as an in.

by neglect and improper treatment. Impro-
per treatment may damage the system as

dangerous as neglect. Improper treatment
Is due rather to inexperience than to durability

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Rainfall

A record of the rainfall has been kept
at Pasadena for twenty-five years, and
the figures confirm those recently pub
lished in the Press in proving that it is
too early yet to have any fear of a dry
winter. The average rainfall at Pasa-
dena before January 1 for twenty five
years is 4.30 inches. This year the total
fall up to January has been 500 inches,
a shortage of only 1.21 inches. In 1884
the total rainfall in Pasadena up to jan
uary / was only 3.9S inches-less than the
average-but the total precipitation for
the season was A.. .93 inches. We are not
hankering after any such record as that,
but the calamity bowler may yet need
his umbrella and high water boots.--
