A woman, with a freshly blackenod

Tor the arrest of her husband on a
charge of beating her.

about three-fourths drunk. The wifa

not be reconciled to a change. Yet pre-
cisely such change was made in the
English-speaking world century and
a half ago, when the calendar was
shifted twelve days, and what had
been Christmas became Twelfth Day.
There were popular protests against it,
and in England not few riots. But
the authorities insisted upon the re-
form, and it was effected. It seems
strange for the supposedly despotlc
Russian government to show itself
more sensitive to popular prejudices
than were the British and American
governments.

THE OLDEST OF RELIGIONS.
The Sabbateans of Sa1onica and Their
Peculiar Belief.

The Sabbateans of Sa1onica and Their
Peculiar Belief.
Surely one of the Oldest religious in
the world is that of the Sabbateans
of Salonica, of whom M. Damon has
lately made special study, says Pail
Mall Gazette. The sect takes it's name
from one Sabbath Cevi, Smyrniote
lew. who f1ourished in the middle of
the seventeenth century, and so mud
died himself by constant study of the
Cabala that he gave himself out for the
Messiah. Thanks to some miracles,
thousands of Jews flocked to his stand
ard and a serious revolt was on the
point of breaking out when the pasta
of the district captured him and offered
him the choice between accepting
Islam and being incontinently shot.
The story is that he chose the former
alternative and that his followers, dis
gusted with his apostasy, abandoned
their belief in his Messiahship and re-
turned to their former faith.
M. Danon's researches, however,
show that the sect is not extinct, as has
been thought. He had much difficulty
In getting the information, and it was
only the lucky accident of one Of the
faithful sending his waistcoat to be
mended, without remembering that q

E.rliest Strike.

The earliest strikes occurred ABOUT
1850 B. c., or upward of thlrty-tnree
centuries ago. Pharaoh was BUILDING
a new Temple of Thebes. The ma
sons received very little cash, out a
quantity of provisions. which the con-
tractor thought sufficient was handeu
to them on the first of each month.
Sufficient or not, they mostly ate IL De-
fore the time had elapsed. On one
occasion many of them had nothng
left quite early in the month, so they
marched to the contractors house, De-
fore which they squatted and refused
to bulge until justice was done. Inc
contractor persuaded them to lay their
distress before Pharaoh, who was
about to visit the works, and he gave
them handsome supply Of corn, and
so all went on well for that month.
But the same state of things occurred
by the middle of the next, and for
some days the men struck work. Va
rious conferences took place, but the
men declined to do a stroke until they
were given another supply of food.
They declared the clerks cheated them,
used false weights, and so forth, IA
miliar enough complaints in this coun-
try under the truck system. The con-
tractor not complying with their de-
mands, they marched to the governor
of the city to lay their grievances be-
fore him, and he tried to get them to
return to work by smooth words, but
that was no use, and they insisted on
having food. At last, to get rid Of
them, he drew up an order for corn on
the public granary, and the strike was
at an end

Salt Water Breed of Toads.

J. Marsden, the agricultural commits
missioner of Hawaii, will develop sea
toad, for the use Of certain island dis
tricts where standing fresh water is
scarce. Mr.. Marsden is firm believer
In evolution and will follow lines sug-
gested by Darwin. Already toads have
been produced in brackish waters. This
tells the commissioner that he cannot
fail. For the next culture he will make
the water still more salty, and at about
the fourth or fifth breeding will try
pure sea water. He is confident that
the plan will work out correctly. In
the undertaking Mr.. Marsden has re-
ceived much encouragement from Prof.
hoebele, the government entomologist,
and from other friends.

Dewey a Dainty Dresser.

Admiral Dewey's exceeding care in
matters of dress gained for him at one
time the reputation of being some
thing of fop among those who did
not know his rare and sterling quail
ties. Apropos of this is the descrip-
ton given by a Washington CORE
spondent of Dewey's arrangement Of
his wardrobe. Everything had it's
place, and he knew exactly, it is said,
where to find a handkerchief, shirt Or
collar. In fact. he might be called a
crank on this subject, having invented
an odd custom for keeping his shirts,
SO that one could not be worn oftener
than another. They are all numbered
ranging from one to twenty-one.. He
had chiffonier containing an equal
number of drawers, just wide enough
to receive a shirt. He begins at the
top and wears the shirt in drawer No.
1, then the garment in No. 2, and so
on down the line, He is just as par
t1cular about other parts of his ward
robe.-Leslie's Weekly.

PRIVATE MAIL BOXES.
A New and Convenient Idea of the
Postoffice Department.

A New and Convenient Idea of the
Postoffice Department.
The Postoffice Department has order
ed that in all cities and towns having
free delivery the postal system shall be
extended to include house-to-house col
lections, and the system is also extend
ed to all rural free delivery routes One
of the requirements, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, which the citizen must
observe is to supply his own mail box.
Postmasters are instructed to give in
formation about the boxes and encour-
age householders to put them up.
The Government has made special
recommendation OF. certain kind OF
mail box represented in the accom-
panying cut. This box is unique con-
trivance fitted with automatic signal
flags so that the passing carrier can see
at glance if there is any mail deposit
ed in it for him to collect. 1t is also
a receptacle for delivered mail, and a
different colcsed flag apprises the
householder when the carrier leaves
any mail in the box. One of the flags is
white and the other red. The box is to
be affixed to post near the street con-
venient for the carrier.
It is fitted with perfect locks, and
when the carrier drops mail into the
box the white flag Immediately comes
up, which indicates that there is mail

Best Governed CITY.

The leading and most commendable
feature of the management of public
affairs is the principle of the sinking
fund, which is applied to every enter
prise or business in which the munich
pality is Interested Whatever debts it
has are on the sure and safe road to
liquidation by the automatic operation
of the sinking fund device. By this
means the city Of Glasgow will, inside
of fifty years, furnish free water to it's
citizens; give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power at
cost; allow them to ride on it's electric
road at the nominal fare of cents for
any distance, and furnish to all free use
of a magnificent public library.
The city affairs are managed by bust
ness men with the same prudence with
which they would manage their own
affairs; the question Of party politics
enter into no local election and it seems
to be the object of the municipality to
administer the city's finances in an
economical way, to improve the public
health in it's physical and moral basis.
and to give brightness and the posi-
bility of happiness to civil life. Its sue
cess in all these has been so marked
as to command the admiration of tho
civilized world and to gain for itself the
appellation of the best governed citv
