Gar Wants an Armistice.

PARIS, June S.-The conviction is
growing here that peace is sensibly
nearer. 1t is thought that the action
of the Zemstvo Congress at Moscow,
and the energetic steps which have
been taken by Russian agltators, de.
spite the prohibitory measures which
have been taken against them had
more to. do with shaking the determi.
nation of the Gear to prolong the
war; than the representations of his
ministers or the advice Of the other
powers
The only definite authorized news
to be heard here this morning, how.
ever, Is that the Gear does not desire
absolute peace at this moment, but
rather seeks an armistice for the dis.
cussion Of peace terms. In the mean.
time he is determined to maintain
General Linievitch's army at Its max.
imum strength as he Is convinced that
the Russians can win the next land
battle. and that better terms can be
obtained then than are obtainable at
present. eii5 Z,

He paid a tribute to the faithful love

Attorney Howard N. Ogden began

the prosecutors charges, and was
clear and forceful. One thing tho
prosecutor had omitted to say about
where JACKSON stood when he Tired.
and that was the testimony Of II. G.
Mason, the station agent. Mason
said he didn't see either man, aud Il
Jackson had been standing in the door.

Ing him, Cozad was known as the
bad man from Preston county, i In

that all Jackson did was to try to.
keep Cozad away from him. The one
eyewitness whom the State had NOT

Poor, But Rich.

Once, in Maryland, SAYS a writer in the
Outlook. / was driving with an old
farmer. and some of the men Of the neigh
borhood came under criticism. Speaking
of a prominent man in the town, | asked,
''Is he man Of means?
well, sir, the farmer replied, he
ain got much money, but he ; very rich.
He has great deal of land, then ?
| asked
No, sir, he ain got much land, nei-
ther. but still he's mighty rich. y
The old farmer with pleased smile,
observed my puzzled look for moment,
and then explained
You see, he ain t got much money,
and he ain got much land, but still he is
very rich, because he never went to bed
owing any man cent in his life. He lives
as well as he wants to live, and he pays as
he goes; he doesn own anything, and he
ain afraid of anybody; he tells every man
the truth, and does his duty to himself,
his family, and his neighbors; his word is
as good as his bond and every man, wo-
man, and child in the town looks up to
him and respects him. No, sir, he ain t
got much money, and he amt got much
land, but still he is mighty rich man, be-
cause he has got all he needs and all he
wants,
assented to the old farmer deduc
tions, for | thought them entirely correct.
When man has all he needs aud all he
wants he is certainly rich, and when he
lacks these things he is certainly poor.

Weather Signs.
From Putnam's Magazine.

If it clears off in the night, look for rain
the next day If smoke from the chimney
settles instead of rising there is a storm at
hand. When sound travels long dis
tanee there is also a storm near, Never
expect much storm in the old of the moon.
The absence of dew and unusually heavy
dew are alike forerunners Of rain. Not
much frost need be expected in the light
of the moon.
An owl hooting in the hollow is sign
OF cold storm; ON the hill, it foretells
thaw. If the hornets build low the winter
will be hard When leaves fall early the
winter will be long. When snow falls on
hard road it will not last long. The last
spring snowstorm never comes until after
the ''sugar snow, which may be recog-
nized by coming in unusually large fakes
and lasting only few minutes. If the
hog melt is found bic at the front the first
part of winter will be most severe; if the
reverse is true, we may look for hard
weather in February and March. Bright
northern lights" bring severe cold. Sun
dogs indicate bad storm.
Distant sound heard distinctly forebodes
no good weather If the sun 'draws up
water it will rain. The pitcher sweating
and the tea kettle boiling dry also indicate
rain. Cobwebs thickly spread upon the
grass are an indication of fair weather.
Animal life seems, according to the popular
notion, to have peculiar warnings regarding
the weather changes. Some of these are
explainable by natural causes. 1t is a fact
recognized by all intelligent stockmen that
cattle have an intimation of an approach
inc storm some hours before it is visible to
the human eye There is certain restless
ness which the cowboy has learned to in
terpret at once.
When you see a pig pasturing in the
field build for itself nest you may look
for a storm. Chickens take extra pains
in oiling their feathers just before rain.
Peafowls send forth their shrill cries as
warning, and when the quail cries ''more

briskly to get his hay under shelter,

Eggs AS Food.
From Medical Talk.

Almost everybody eats eggs. There is
perhaps no article of diet that is more com
monty eaten in all countries than eggs.
Hens eggs are used more than any other
kind, although some people eat duck eggs,
goose eggs and the eggs of the guinea fowl.
Turkey eggs are not so often eaten; they
are generally kept for Matching. Eggs are
said to be a perfect food, the same as
milk-that is, containing all the food ele-
ments necessary for the growth and main
tenanee of the young chick, just as milk
does for the young animal. While it Is
true, of course, that the egg does contain
ali the elements necessary for the young
chick, yet it would not follow that these
elements are in the right proportion for the
sole nourishment of an adult person. That
eggs are a splendid food is not to be ques
toned, but that eggs alone would furnish
sufficient diet for grown person is hardly
probable.
Eggs consist of proteine, fat, water and
mineral matter 1t is the proteine or nj
trogenous matter that builds up and repairs
the tissues Of the body, while the fat sup
plies energy. The white Of an egg is often
said to be pure albumeu, but it also con-
taius phosporic acid and sodium chloride or
common salt. The yolk contains the fatty
part of the egg, phosphorus, calcium, mag
nesium, potassium and iron. Eggs also
contain sulphur, and this probably accounts
for the dark stain left by eggs on silver,
the sulpher coming in contact with the
silver forming silver sulphide. Eggs are
very easily digested. Raw eggs are more
quickly digested than cooked eggs. Soft
boiled eggs, roasted eggs and poaehed eggs
are more easily digested than fried or hard
boiled eggs. The stomach will digest raw
egg in from one and half to two hours.
Soft boiled aud roasted eggs require from
two and half to three hours, while hard
boiled or fried eggs must be allowed from
three and half to four hours for digestion.
Eggs furnish good substitute for meat,
and we believe it would be far better for
the average person if eggs were more fire.
quently used in place of meat. Especially
/ do they make light, nutritious dish for
/ breakfast, instead of the usual bacon or
ham or sausage.

The Benefits of Sugar.

A correspondent of the London
Times remarks that sugar has modi-
fed the history Of Europe and of the
world in more ways than one. Used
in this country four centuries ago, al
most exclusively in the preparation of
medicines, and long afterward an ar
ticle of luxury only accessible to the
rich, it has by enlarged production
and cheapened manufacture been
brought within the reach of all. The
universal use Of this practically pure
carbohydrate, which is not only a
freely-burning fuel and proteid-sparer,
but a muscle-food, increasing the
power of doing work and lessening
fatigue, must have had widespread
and beneficial effects on the national
health. Especially in the case of
children, whose greed of sugar is the
expression of a physiological want,
has that food been valuable in con-
dUcing to growth, contentment and

A Cemetery for unknowns.

The island of Hehgoland is SUR
rounded by a great number of treach,
erous rocks and cliffs, and every yeaC
witnesses the stranding Of many a
fishing boat or sailing vessel. A Gem
etery has now been created in the
neighborhood of the great dunes,
where the bodies of fishermen and
sailors washed ashore find their la\4
resting place. A simple iron cross
stands on every grave, and whenever
the body has been identified the cross
bears the name of the dead. In most
cases, however, such an Identification
is impossible.
