house of the First Presbyterian Church

State but two and politically they hold the
balance of power in Idaho and Wyoming
and are colonizing in New Mexico and Ari-
zona.
They give il out that they will control
six States in the not far distant future and
will have twelve of their following in the
United States Senate. The Church has an
enormous campaign fund, and there is no
denying that money has been used in
Washington in recent years in the inter-
ests of Mormonism. There was a time not
lcng ago when the church was fearfulIy
in debt, but its managers have a way of
making sO-called revelations which pro-
duce plenty of money.

are not European. They are Of the Bange pat

are the cannon which were served at Glencoe and
in the recent engagement near Ladysmith. As
for the rifles, they are described at St Etenne
as being of various patterns, nearly all being

Shallow DeceptiOu,

New York seems to be a place where
one can find almost anything in the way of
human nature. The shrewdest and the sill
lest, the most conventional and the most
eccentric types, are all congregated in that
big town. Schemes of financial operation
which required a Napoleonic brain have
been conceived there and carried out: and
people have been duped in ways which
would be transparent. TO the veriest green
horn in the country. 1t is improbable, for
instance, than any fortune-teller could
have swindled a country girl out of nearly
five hundred dollars by promising to secure
a husband for her. But that is what was
done to servant lass of Harlem the other
day.
The girl went to this fortune-teller last
May and told her that she wanted to go
out of business. The business must have
been rather lucrative, seeing that she paid,
according TO her own account, from three
to ten dollars a visit for every interview
with the seeress; but it did not satisfy
the soul The young woman wanted a
home of her own, and she was willing to
pay any reasonable sum for it. The for.
tune teller told her that there was a charm
of some sCrt-she called it becoming i'm
pregnated with magnetism (which she
could throw around young woman in such
a way that that young woman would be
an irresistible attraction to all the young
men in the ne;ghborhood. The price of
the magnetism was ten dollars. The ten
dollars were forthcoming, ard SO were
many ether dollars as time went on. After
several months of this sort of thing, how
ever. the girl came to the conclusion that
she was being swindled. ard she swore out
q warrant FOR the foftune-teller's arrest. 1t

RUSSIA BUYING CORN.
A Cargo Going From Philadelphia
to the Far North.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 22.-There is a
demand for American corn for shipment
to Russia. The Norwegian steamship Urd
was yesterday chartered to load cargo
of that grain at this port for Reyel, one
Of the most northerly ports of Europe, it
being in latitude 1927 north, and longitude
"a 45 west. about 23O miles northwest from
ST. Petersburg. The shipment is supposed
TO be for seeding purposes.
Thus far more than 26.000.e00 bushels
of corn have been shipped from this port
since January last. which is several mil
lion bushels more than was exported dur
ing the corresponding period OF last year.
The grain in the shipment Of wheat and
oats has also been large. There is but
little doubt that the cereal exports would
have been much greater had the railroads
been able to bring the grain to the sea-
board.

How Many Hour. Men sleep.
From the St. Louis t-Dispateh.)

(From the 81. LOUIS POst st-Dispatch.1
The statistics and diagrams of sleep in the Sum-
day Post Dispatch are interesting as showing the
influence Of occupation upon habit. The Aineri-
can naval officer gets less sleep on the average
than anyone else 1t is with him matter of
regulation, but he gets used to his scant allowance
and seems to thrive under it, He sleeps six hours
in the twenty -four. The actor sleeps ten, while
the army officer is allowed eight hours. There
are two extreme opinions the subject of sleep.
One that men do net sleep enough. the other that
they sleep too much. Probably the truth is that
a tranquil and evenly balanced mind not given to
worry, dissipation or needless excitement needs
less sleep than the fuSy man who induiges in
these respectable and unrespectable vices. 1t is
possible to rest even when in the midst of work.
But it requires much toll and self-control to
achieve such . power Of rest.

Actors have strange experiences Not so many
years ago Edward Sass acting at Johannes
burg in a company organized by his brotlier-in-
law. George Edwards. One of the plays produced
was '.The Solicitor" by Mr.. Darnley. During one
of the acts the players wore uniforms and accou-
trements. Mr.. Sass received a request from Mr..
Bleksley, official of the local fire brieade, to
vaai Government, in order to make good display
at the opening of the Delagoa Bay Railway! The
government was short of swords, and thought that
even theatrical weapons would be more effective
than empty scabbards and revolver cases. Mr..
Sass referred the official to Mr. Edwards. who
happened TO be in England, and the display was
shorn of its most decorative feature.

The anti Roberts crusade is developing
into most edifying upheaval of sentiment
on the question of rolygamy and its Gen
tile analogue. Miss Susan B. Anthony's
declaration that most American men

the Young Mems Christian Association
are morally quite as bad II not worse than
Mormons. has raised a storm Of indignant
protest which for the moment almost OBJ
scures the main feature OF the great Eove-

successfully maintain her startling 'tu
