The Russian political refugees In Paris

disappearance Of Madga Sol,ykoff from
this city. They claim TO hayc absolutely

man was removed forcibly and secretly
from France to Russia.
They say that friends who are occupy

act as spies for the nihilists have sent the
Paris group documents to show that, the
abduction Of Miss Soltykoff was decided
upon two months ago by the head Of the
Russian police and forwarded a copy OF

Madga. despite all vigilance, has re-

friends, and. though she Is carefully con-

lose heart.
Nevertheless even the most entbusias.
tic nihilists admit they will probably nev-
er'be able to rescue her.
One Of them said to the Paris Post
Dispatch correspondent: "They have
been after Madga Soltykoff for years.
The mere name of her was filling their
hearts with terror. Now that they have
captured her they will never let her

vIsHNU's COMING.

The Great Event That Ii Expected
by Pious Hindoos.
Just at this time, If the predictions
Of pious and learned Hlndoos are
worth anything, millions of women
all the caste" women throughout In
dla-will be thrown simultaneously in
to swoon lasting an hour and half.
1t is the tenth incarnation of the god
Nishnu that is looked for, and this to
the Hindoo means the end of all things
earthly, just as to the Christian means
the judgment and destruction of the
world.
Vishnu has come on earth nine times
In as many different forms. This time
he is to appear In the heavens mount
ed on white horse, .brandishing q
flaming sword resembling, comet.
Women of all castles nre expected to
swoon-all the women in India, save
those who have forfeited their rights
by trafficking with the unclean.
vishnu is the second god of the Hin
doc trinity and to all intents and pur-
poses the supreme god of the Pan
theon. In the great Sanskrlt epic. the
Rnmayana. he is treated as the ruler
Of all things. He made heaven and
earth. He reclines on the lotus and Is
shaded by the many headed serpent.
Brahma. the four healed, springs
from his body. But it is for his ava
tars.i, or reincarnationeI that he Is
chiefly remarkable. 1t is believed that
whenever the world has been disturb
ed he has descended In small portion
of his essence and corrected,the evil.
Sometimes he has been a wonderful
animal a monster. n superhuman be-
ing; at other times he has been born
In human likeness, but has possessed
divine powers.
If such cbaraater as Moses. say,
or John the Baptist or st. Paul or per-
haps even Shakespeare or Napoleon
had appeared among the Hindoos. his
overmastering spirituality or'eloquence
or wisdom or military genius. as the
case might be, would so powerfl y
have impressed bis contemporaries
that the tradition of his greatness.
handed down to the next generation.
might easily give rise to the conjecture.
then the hypothesis. then the theory.
then the positive belief as an article of
religious faith that he was indeed the
great vlshnu, come on earth again
clothed in divine powers to help hui
manity over Its rough path toward
perfection.
Vlshnu's reincarnations In their ac-
cepted order are: 1. Matsya (the fish:
2. Kurma dhe tortoisel; 3, varaha (the
boar; 4. Narasingha 1.-THE man llon):
8. Vamana tthe 'dwarf1;8. Parasurama;
z. Rama; 8. Krishne; o, Buddha.
There are other versions Of his ap-
pearances on earth which vary widely
from this. Some Hindoo theologlans
ascribe as many as 80 avatArs TO the
illustrious deity. But these are not
orthodox, and the reincnrna tIons
preached by them must be regarded
as apocryphal.
Orthodox Hindoos are very strict on
this point.

A south Dakota Farm.

A South Dakota paper tells of n
farmer who during the year disposed
of 700 bushels of potatoes for s245 and
500 bushels of wheat for s4lS. Besides
this he received S210 for wool aud Si75
for milk. The Increase from cattle and
sheep came to $500. Thus he has made
neat total of $l,64s apart from the
products used in supporting himself
and his family. In commenting upon
this favorable showing the Sioux City
Tribune calls attention 10 the fact
that the dairy products were the most
profitable of all. The farmers cows
brought him more gross income and
net profit than eight acres OF wheat
