The Belief In n Devil.

A maidservant belonging to one of
the women's colleges had been out
with her lover without leave from her
mistress and was returning late along
my road. at the top of which lived the
lamented Professor Nettleship. Now.
the latter had large yellow dog that
took the usual canine delight in seeing
cats scatter and flee, and, the better to
pounce on them when they were
stealthily crossing the street, he would
perch himself on the top Of the pro
fessor's garden wall, surrounded and
half hidden in the foliage. AS the tru-
ant mnidservant passed beneath him
he caught sight of cat in the middle
of the road and. making a spring at it.
collided with her and knocked her
down She picked herself up and ran
screaming home, almost mad with ter.
ror. because. as she said. the devil had
jumped on her back and thrown her
down.-International Monthly.

Warned In n Dream,

An instance in which a dream was
useful in preventing an impending ca.
tastrophe is recorded of daughter of
Mrs Rutherford, at Ederton, the grand
daughter of Sir Walter Scott. This la.
dy dreamed more than once that her
mother had been murdered by black
servant She was so much upset by
this that she returned home. and, to
her great establishment and not a little
to her dismay. she met on entering the
house the very black servant she had
met in her dream He had been en-
gagged In her absence. She prevailed
upon a gentleman to watch in an ad.
Joining room during the following
night
About O'Clock in the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps on the
stairs, came out and met the servant
carrying Il quantity of Goals. Being
questioned as to where he was going,
he answered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire, which
at O'Clock in the morning in the mid.
die or summer was evidently impossi.
ble On further investigation a strong
knife was found hidden in the GOALS.
The lady escaped, but the man was
subsequently hanged for murder, and
before his execution he confessed that
he intended to have assassinated Mrs.
Rutherford.

Gently crack the shell Of the whelk.
for you will find it almost impossible to
extract the occupant alive otherwise,
and you will see what you may be par
doned for supposing miniature lob
ster but which in reality belongs to an
other distinct species-namely, the her
NIT crab, Pagurus bernhardus. Wheth-
er he has obtained occupancy by force
of arms or merely through decease OF
the original tenant is moot point but
the first supposition is highly probable,
as he is a most belligerent little Gus
toner.
An amusing scene may be witnessed
by placing several hermit crabs depriv'
ed Of their shells in an ordinary soup
plate, with little sea water and some
empty shells-fewer shells than crabs.
The fighting and struggling to secure
houses is ludicrous in the extreme. One
may be seen almost successful in moor
Ing himself within a shell, which, by
the way, is effected by means of the
shelly plates at the extremity Of his
soft and twisted tail. when another
seizes him by the nape of the neck, as
it were, and he is dragged reluctantly
forth. The evicter still holds him strug.
Cling at claws length, and not until he
himself is safely ensconced does he re-
linquish his grasp.-Chambers' Journal.

Fire Superatitiana.

"If fire does not burn WE'LL" says
the old household superstition, "and
you want it to draw, you should set the
poker across the top bar of the CRATE"
This is supposed to placate the gnomes,
whom it was formerly believed were
very jealous of the robbery of their un-
derground country of it's coal treasures
and We're very apt to take their venge-
ance out in preventing the fire from
burning. 1t was the mystic form Of
the cross thus made which was sup
posed to drive them away. Neverthe-
less it would not do to use the shovel
in this charm or the fire would be sure
to go out.

Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation OF the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins a series OF experiments.
They take medicine fDr sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
TEN, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

of way, to pass. The latter, believing
everything clear, came along at a high
rate Of speed. The switch, however
had, in some way not yet explained,
been turned, and the eastbound train
dashed into the waiting train.

BEREEPORD SCORES, NAVY.
Declares Thht whole Admiralty Sys-
tenn l. u Disgrace.

ssh - 7" ''rt'"s''
London, June 21.-During the course
of the discussion of the navy estimates
in the house of commons Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Berestord. Conservative,
scathingly criticised the deficiencies Of
the navy. He declared the whole ad-
miralty system was rotten ana led to
great oXtrnvagance and the general
want of efficiency of the navy, on
which depended the existence Of the
empire. THIS was the judgment of all
The commissions of inquiry and had
'"en proved to be fact. Every in
trras" in the number of ships and ev-
cry improvement in them had been the
result Of utsiie agitation. AS the re-
suit of such agitation the British Med
itclraEoan fleet was now a fourth
stronger than If Has year ago.
1t was remarkable. Lord Beresford
GERS were compelled to threaten to re-
sign in order to get things righted.
Great Britain had only 10000 naval
reserves instead of the requisite 10000,
and the engine room departments were
thousands of men short. AS to arma-
ment, both the United States and
France possessed superior guns. Blum
ders would continue until separate
business board was appointed at the
admiralty and was made responsible
for the efficiency of the fleet. Treas
ury control was fatal to efficiency. As
an instance the speaker pointed out
the case of Sir William NcrnonII ar-
court, Liberal, who when he was chan
celor of the eXchequer put his pen
through the ammunition supplies after
the guns had been ordered.
The secretary of the admiralty, Mr.
Arnold Forster, in a general reply to
the criticisms of the navy, denied that

INCREASE OF ASSESSMENTS
Iowa Railroad Men Worried by At
s5a.E titude Of Gov Cummina


, titude of Gov. Cummins.
4DEs MONIES, IOWA--At the close of the
public hearing before the executive council
on railway taxation last evening, Governor
Cummins raised the question whether In the
view OF the railroad representatives the ex-
ecutive council had any right to assess the
railroads at less than, 25 per cent of their
actual value The law in Iowa in general is
that property shall be assessed at one-fourth
ofits actual value, but the railroad attorneys
and tax commissioners have been presenting
statistics showing that farm lands are as
sessed on but 16 per cent of their real value
and that vast share Of personal property Is
escaping taxation. In the arguments before
the council 1t has been assumed that body
would not assess the railroads at higher
ratio of actual value than it was found farm
lands were assessed. H. 4
Governor Cummins made it plain he
doubted very greatly the power of the coun-
Gil to depart from the strict letter Of the
statute and assume the task of equalizing the
railroad assessment and the assessment on
other forms OF property. He intimated
strongly that he thought the council had no
right to go back Of the returns and assume
that In assessing farm lands and other prop
erty, the various assessing bodies had not
assessed property at 25 per cent of Its actual
value. .fh
II the governor carries out this idea 1t
will unquestionably result in large increase
IN the assessments. Attorneys will present ar
suments to show the council should act as
an equaltzing board and not assess the rail-
roads higher than other property The diff
Guilty In the situation, however, is that the
council has no official evidence that farm
Lands are assessed at 16 per cent of their ac-
tual value, as asserted by the railroads, or
tnat vast amounts OF personal property are
untaxed. ."

any Of them. No word was spoken by any
Of them to indicate even a temporary un-
friendliness. The train stopped at logging
