In September 1898, or exactly one
hundred and three years ago, William
Mckinley, granduncle of the late
martyred president, was shot by the
British in the County of Down, Ire
land, for being a rebel against the
Kings rule in his native land. He
was a Presbyterian in religion, while
his Inflated namesake was a Method
list. Two other Presbyterian patriots.
WIN. Orr and Henry Joy AIcCracken,
were hanged by the British in the
North of Ireland the same year. The
former made an eloquent speech when
sentence of death was passed upon
him, and through many an after year
the watchword and rallying cry of the
United Irishmen was Remember
Orr" He was only 81 years of age.

RUSSIAN SACRED PICTURES.
Icons That stand on Shelves Opposite
Russian Doors.

Icons That stand on Shelves Opposite
Russian Doors.
They are to be seer everywhere-the
slams. They are found standing on a
shelf opposite the door Of every Rus
sian room, be it shop or private house,
market stall, or railway booking Office.
Many also are found in the streets,
outside churches or in shrines where
passers-by stop and make obeisance.
1t is a matter Of wonder to the stranger
when his droshky driver stops sudden
ly in the middle of the road, doffs his
hat and mutters a few words of prayer.
His devotion to the icons seems to the
foreigner as strange as the fact that
he devoutly crosses himself before he
entrusts himself and his vehicle to a
bridge. A writer in the Sunday Maya
zine explains that icons vary much in
material and value, but little in style.
The style is always strictly Byzantine,
and is copied faithfully from some old
picture, in it's turn a slavish copy of
another. The story of the manufacture
of the icons is interesting. Most of
them are made in the Province of
Vladimir by peasants who work at
them in their cottages. Very much
like an up-to-date factory process is
the fashioning of these pictures. The
work passes from hand to hand. One
man makes the boards, another paints,
the backgrounds, a third puts in the
figures, and the picture passes on from
fashioner to fashioner until all is COM
plete. 1t is said that as many as two
millions of icons are produced each
year. Some of those hung in the
churches are valuable, being, like that
of Our Lady of Kazan, in the cathedral
in St. Petersburg, covered with, and
indeed almost made of, precious stones,

Crop Conditions.

Government crop reports state that
there have been heavy pr~ecipitations
OF either rain or snow which have
furnished an abundance of moisture in
all parts of the United States save
central and western Texas, where rain
is much needed. These pr~ecipitations
coupled with cold weather have con-
siderably delayed spring work.
But little progress with corn plant
ing has been made since the first Of
the month, except in the extreme
southern districts, where it is nearing
completion in some sections. Slow
termination and poor stands are gen.
orally reported from the southern
states.
A general improvement in the con-
dition Of winter wheat is reported, ex-
cept in portions of Ohio, Illinois, Okla
homa, and Texas, where damage by
insects is more or less apparent, the
last named state reporting unfavorable
effects of drought. On the Pacific
coast the outlook for winter wheat
continues promising, but the crop
needs rain over a large part of Cali
fornia. Some spring wheat has been
sown in portions Of Iowa, Nebraska
and southern Minnesota, but none has
yet been own in the Red River val
ley.
Oats seeding is well advanced as far
north as the Ohio valley, and some
seeding has been done in Nebraska.
In the east gulf and south Atlantic
districts the outlook is promising, but
the crop is being injured by drought
and insects in Texas.
Reports of fruit prospects are favor
able, except from California, where Sc
we're frosts have injured grapes and
other fruits in the northern and cen
trail portions of the state.

A~rohaeoloEIsts Are Discussing Probable
Creators of Rare Ant ques.
In 1897 the English took possession
of Benin. N of the most famous Of
African cities, and found in it many in
teresting works Of art, mainly fash
loned of bronze and ivory.
Hundreds Of these were brought
70 Europe and, after they
had found their way into public and
private museums. the startling discov-
cry was made that in some of the
museums there were already duplicates
Of some of the ivory works of art, but
that no bronze work of art could be
found anywhere. The question then
arose Since the people of Benin have
for centuries been workers in bronze
and ivory, how is it that SO many
specimens Of their ivory art work have
been imported into Europe from time
to time and long before their city was
captured, whereas there are very few
Europeans who had ever seen any of
their bronze engravings before 1897?
OF this curious fact various explana-
tions were given, but the one which
was accepted as being most plausible
is that these Benin artists who worked
in ivory were permitted to export their
wares, and that those who worked in
bronze were not allowed to do so.
Among those whom this discussion at
tracted was Herr F. Won Luschan, a
distinguished German antiquarian, and
ha tonly O dnanar ip+orac4 IN ~ thon
others, since early in 1897, and be-
fore Benin was captured, he had pur-
chased in an old curiosity shop near
London bridge a bronze engraving I'm
like anything which he had ever seen
before, but which he now felt certain
had been imported at some unknown
time into Europe from the African
capital. Still, there was a problem be-
fore him which demanded solution and
a few weeks ago he invited a~rchaeolo-
gists everywhere to aid him in solving
it. The problem is this: His bronze
engraving, which he has presented to
the museum in Berlin, represents the
head of a man, but the question is.
What man is it? The engraving, be-
fore Herr Luschan purchased it, was
the property of w. A. Franks, another
antiquarian, and he maintained that
the man represented in it was a Span
ish bishop. Herr Luschan, on the
other hand, says that the head is that
of a negro, and that the costume which
he wears is that Of a chieftain OF
Benin. On the head is a large inter
shaped cap; round the neck is a ker-
chief, which is fashioned of panthers'
teeth and feathers and to which is at
tached a small square bell; over the
shoulders is thrown a short mantle,
made Of panther's skin, and in the left
hand is a spear. AS to the time when
the engraving was made there are no
clews, but Herr Luschan is satisfied
that it is very old.-Chicago Journal.

Glass Test of Paris Green.

A very simple test, which will enable
to distinguish a good proportion
of adulterated samples at once, includ-
ing many of those not detachable with
ammonia, is to take a very small por-
ton of Paris green-what one could
easily pick up on the point of a pen
knife-place this upon a piece of glass
at an angle; Earring the lower edge
will cause the little pile of green to
move down the inclined surface, leav-
ing behind it a bright green track, if
the sample is pure; but in the case
of many adulterated or impure sam
pies, the track would be white or pale
green = q + The glass test is particu-
larly useful in comparing a number of
samples, and after one has acquired
some experience it becomes quite re-
liable. 1t does not enable one to de-
tect the recent forms of arsenic adul-
terations, and, like the ammonia test,
should never be considered as conclu-
sive evidence of purity.
