THE GREAT DES1 ROYER OF
ANGLO-SAXONS.

Mr.. Z. w. Russell, member of the
English Parliament, in an address at
Belfast, Ireland, referred to the his
tory of the members belonging to a
young mems society in County Tyrone
thirty five years ago, and declared
that every one whose life had turned
out failure had been ruined by drink.
He described the appearance of the
most brilliant of the youthful band
laboring on a wharf at New York,
brought low by the mocker. Drink
had the country by the throat. When
A. M. Sullivan laid on his death bed
he sent for the speaker, pointed out
that the Irish party was going to be
captured by the drink power and
charged him never to give up the
battle. The public house had become
m ore potent force in politics than
church or chapel. Drink was the
destroyer of the Anglo Saxon race;
Satan's prime agency in the unmak
ing of men. The lecturer had changed
some of his views, but those on the
drink question he had never modified
in the slightest degree.

East Greenwich, r. l., March 21.-The
trial of Samuel Lindsay, colored, for the
murder of Lottie W. Church, white, at
Pawtuxet on Nov. last, was begun yes
terday. No testimony was introduced
as it is claimed that the defendant had
said repeatedly that he killed the woman,
was glad of it and expected to get about
10 years, after which he would get out
and fix Jack Caesar, the man of whom
Lindsay is said to have been jealous.
Counsel for Lindsay admitted that the
state had proven that the prisoner shot
and killed the woman but argued that
the crime was only manslaughter and
not murder. The jury considered the
case about an hour and returned a YER
dict of guilty of murder Lindsay was
sentenced to imprisonment for life.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works in
Philadelphia is an American estab-

known as any manufacturing plant in
the world. It's first locomotives sent
abroad went to Russia, and Russia

Midland Railway Of England ordered
twenty locomotives, and it has just
placed another order for ten more.
The Chinese Eastern Railway Compa-
ny has ordered seventy one of the
Baldwin Vauclain compound consol-
idated engines, forty of which are to
be shipped during the coming sum-
mer. The firm to which the corpora
ton of the Baldwin Works is the sue
cessOr is said to have owed it's start to
the courtesy with which it treated a
Russian engineer who came to this
country to investigate our locomo-

is due solely to the character it has
established for fair dealing and faith

BARRIERS Of Austria,


Austrians are very methodical in
many things, and they take no chances
with their BARRIERS. The BARRIERS and
Wigmakers' union Of Vienna sees to it
that only competent persons are ad-
mitted to practice. BARRIERS must, of
course, have thorough knowledge OF
the practical side Of the subject, and
they are questioned as to keeping razors,
brushes, etc, clean, and the general
idea of antiseptics must be well under
stood by them. When the BARRIERS ap-
pear before the committee, they have
their razors dulled on pine plank and
they must then sharpen them and pro-
coed to shave a subject.
These subjects are recruited from the
poor and from among those who are
fond of getting something for nothing.
Ii the apprentice performs his work to
the satisfaction of the judges certifi-
cate is issued to him. and he must serve
as an apprentice for two years before he
can open shop of his cwn. Provision
is also made for women BARRIERS who de-
sire to carry on the business of their
husbands. To do this the women have
to be enrolled as apprentices for three
years, and they must exhibit a great
proficiency before they are allowed to
open an establishment of their own.
The barber business in Austria is not
particularly lucrative, as one can he

He Did Not Have 1t.

William Lightfoot Nisscher in The
Woman Home Companion tells this
characteristic story of the Hon. Isaac
Parker, famous as the terrible judge at
Fort Smith, Ark, who probably sen
fenced more men to be executed than
any other judge that ever lived. This
was not however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because he
had the hardest and most numerous lot
of criminals to deal with that ever
came within the jurisdiction of such
an official One day when there was an
unusually large batch of culprits to be
sentenced the judge looked compassion
ately over his spcctacles at one young
scamp and said:
I'm consideration Of the youth and
inexperience of this prisoner | shall let
him off with a fine of 500
Before the judge had done speaking
the very fresh young man coolly stretch
ed his right leg and ran his hand into
his trousers pocket on the side, remark
ing nonchalantly as he did SO:
That's all hunky, judge. I've got
that much right here in my jeans.
'.And one year in the penitentiary,
continued the judge Then, looking over
ut the convict in quizzical sort OF
way, he added, do you happen to have
that in your jeans!''

Danish Method Of Curing Cheese.

Denmark and Holland are the largest
exporters Of dairy products i'll Europe. In
both of these countries the most intelligent
thought is given to the periecting OF all
processes in that branch of agriculture. A
Danish method to prevent the generation
of mites in cheese is said to be entirely
effective. The process consists in continu-
ally whitewashing the rooms in which the
cheeses are cured until the mites are de-
stroyed, tho cheeses before being placed in
these apartments being stepped in brine
for whole day During their stay OF a
fortnight in the curing room they are care
fully scraped and wiped daily. Finally
they arc washed in limewatcr and are
then stored on thoroughly clean shelves
Unfortunately for a thorough test of this
process Danish cheeses are not so subject
to the generation of mites as are French
and Italian sorts If these could be freed
from the attack of mites through the use
of the Danish process, its value would be
