RED RUSSIANS IN PRUSSIA.

The activity of the Russian revolu- tionists is indicated in the defence which Dr. Schoenstedt, the Prussian minister of justice, has made in the Prussian Chamber against the charges that the Russian political police had been permitted to exercise a most per- nicious activity in Berlin. He said that it had been discovered that large quan- titles of revolutionary printed matter were smuggled across the Russian from tier. A large number of these pubIica- tions were confiscated in the house of a certain Novagrotzki, who had been described in the Reichstag by his ad- vocate, the Social Democratic deputy Dr. Haase as "a harmless young man. One of these publications dealt with the revival of the revolutionary movement in Russia, and said that neither bayon- cts, nor gendarmes, nor capitalists, nor the authority of the Czar would be able to save the throne. Nicholas II. must not die by the bullet, but must be exc cuted on the scaffolq." A publication entitled Der volksbeglucker'' said that the struggle must culminate fin the assassination of the Czar, and, if it should prove necessary, in a whole
 
 series. of assassinations of Czars." One appeal concluded: "Once more we ad- dress ourselves to our comrades. Take up the battle of terrorism death to Nicholas IT.. Hurrah for the liberty of the people!" This was the kind of propaganda, said Dr. Schoenstedt. which at Socialist indignation meetings held in Berlin had been described as "the enlightenment of the Russian peo- pie"
 Of course the Prussian authorities couldn't encourage such anarchical demonstrations as these.

Since his accession to the British cab inet MT. Graham Murray has made a still greater use of the phonograph for the conduct of his correspondence as secretary of state for Scotland than he did during the period when he acted as lord advocate in the same department. Some five or six dozen records are now constantly in use, and to these the minister dictates the replies to his nu- merous letters together with a mass of other detail work connected with the office over which he presides. These are then forwarded to London, if he happens to be in Scotland, and the con- tents are taken down by his secretaries in Whitehall. This done, the records are scraped off and the cylinders are once more ready for use. By keeping photograph both in London and Scot land the secretary of state, alone among his colleagues in MT. Balfour's reconstructed cabinet, is able to give viva-voce instructions to his depart ment at a distance of some hundreds of miles.

Dangerously Injured by a Bull.

John Grinhaug lies !, a critical
condition at his home a few miles
northeast of town as the result of in
juries received from an ugly bull.
Last Monday he let bull out to pas
ture which had been kept up nearly all
spring. and about eight O'Clock in the
evening went out to Pct him in the
barn and was attacked by the animal.
He was first struck in the abdomen
and thrown in the air and then, as NO
one was about to help. was badly
bruised and trampled upon before he
could escape. If the bull had not been
dehorned. Mr.. Grinhaug would have
been killed on the spot. AS it is, peri
tonitis has set IL and his recovery is
very doubtful, depending much on the
extent Of the internal injuries re-
ceived. He is being attended by Drs.

was gone and those In front were large

smell to it, indicating that it had not
been in the water very many years.

The Horse Trader.

The transient horse trader has started
out on his usual rounds. the first con-
tingent being in town last week with
lot Of old skates. Although to the
average observer this is an occupation
or profession that furnishes rather a
precarious livelihood, it is said that
some of those engaged in the business
easily clean upslOO0 during the season.
Their mode Of operation is to pick VI
some old worn out animal and by an
art peculiarly their own transform
him into an apparently sound horse.
He is then traded to the verdant
stranger for a good animal, which is
sold for cash or, as is often the case,
the sucker returns after he finds out
that he has been worsted and wants to
trade back and is willing to give a
bonus to secure possession of his horse
again. These traders are as a rule ex-
pert horsemen. They know their bust
ness and are out for all the money
there is in it, and when a trade ID
made with one of them it is ten to
one shot that he is getting the best of
the deal. Clarion Monitor.

MONEY SLANG.
Terms Applied to Coins and Bank
Notes in England.

NOTES IN Gn9id1O'
I'VE may think there is great deal
of slang in English as we commonly
use it in this country" Mr.. J. L. SOra-
CHAN observes, but in at least one re-
spect the cullOquial tongue of England
surpasses the wealth of terms we pos
sess in this regard, and that is the
slang relating TO money. The American
uses astOnishinEly few slang words In
speaking of pieces of money, perhaps
because he has a greater respect Tor II.
y five cent piece is usually referred 10
as nickel, but this is practically the
only slang term applied to iANS of our
money in general use. \ dime is Off
cially dime, and SO Is Il quarter.
But turn to the English appellations
for their money and hardly a bit of 1t
is referred TO under its authorized and
official designation. \ shilling is seldom
called such i'll London. They call it
bob and 'quid,' which means piece
of tobacco in this country, is what they
term Il pound SiXpencc they call Il
tanner fourpence joey and Il penny
more often than not is unknown 10 the
street gamiuS save as Il mag y cab
man Will not tell you a ride Will cost
shillings, but that it will require 4
bull to pay for 1t, and Il half crown Is
half Il bull These are prevailing eX-
prcssions for the pieces of money wide
" handled. but proper terms for higher
amounts are kicked aside and COLO
quial terms substituted for them.
AT race track if IL bettor says lie
has ventured Il pony on the probable
outcome of race he does not mean
that as it would appear TO us, but sim
ply that he has wagercd f25 Oh the re-
suit. Where money is handled in large
amounts it is not an infrequcnt thing
to hear one say of another that he has
Il monkey of money, meaning that the
individual referred to is the proud pos
SCISSOR of $500. So yOu see i'll compari-
son with this plethora of riches our
lone nickel is poor crop of monetary
