Connemara Cabin.

A typical C0nnemara cabin is built
of unmortared stones and consists of
a single room with earthen floor, a
bed at one end-a large wooden four
poster-and at the other a general
dwelling place for animals and hens.
The turf fire never goes out. night
or day, and, as the fumes of peat are
very aseptic, this fact is thought to
account for the absence Of disease due
to overcrowding The constant fire
also insures certain amount of ven
tilation even at night time when the
medley of inhabitants are all closed up
together. Here dwell the husband,
wife and children of all ages.

Pumpkin Came From Asia.

The pumpkin is a native of Asia
and was introduced into Europe about
1870, being first raised merely as a
curiosity and later as food for both
man and beast. Just when it was
brought to America is not known.
Some claim that variety Of the
pumpkin was cultivated by the Amer
lean aborigines, being grown in their
maize fields, but this is probably a
misapprehension. But if the pump

Just Like Sunshine.

A laugh is just like sunshine,
It freshens all the day.
1t tips the peak of life with light,
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels it's courage strong
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music,
1t fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come croWding
Its joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet!

Since the supreme court in the case of Paul versus Virginia decided otherwise. con ditions of insurance had changed, and he believed that on a new presentation the supreme court would take differ ent view.

HuMMEL TRIAL AT NEW YORK.
Accused Lawyer Puts In No Defense,
 Relying on Dodge Perjury.

Accused Lawyer Puts In No Defense,
 Relying on Dodge Perjury.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The case of Abe Hummel, the lawyer charged with conspiracy to set aside the divorce of the former Mrs. Dodge and annul her { marriage to c. W. Morse, the banker and former ice magnate, will go to the jury today. Conspiracy is a misde- meanor and is punishable by fine of $500, one year in prison or both. Hum mel is also under two indictments for subornation of perjury in the same case.
 When the trial was resumed before Justice Rogers in the criminal branch of the supreme court John B. Stanch- field and De Lancey Nicoll, counsel for Hummel, announced that they would put in no defense, but would rely upon the testimony of Charles F. Dodge and his admissions of perjury to clear their client Mr Nicoll then made his argu- ment to the jury.
 In brief, these were Mir. Nicolrs points for the defense:
 That there was ample ground for believing that the Dodge divorce was invalid
 That Dodge did not tell Hummel that he had been served with the summons and that Hummel acted in the case in good faith.
 That Dodge, that hungry. avaricious wolf from Georgia" was the chief plot ter.
 That Dodge saw a chance to make money by supporting the contention that the divorce was invalid and did so without telling Hummel that he was perjuring himself.
 That when Dodge was indicted for perjury he tried to put the blame upon Hummers shoulders to save his own skin

Hold Streets of Capital.
 ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 2o.-A call for general political strike throughout Russia, to begin today at noon, was issued early this morning.
 The call is approved by the Union of Unions, the Union of Peasants, the General Railway union and the coun- cils of workmen of St. Petersburg and Moscow.
 A response received from the rail. road men of Moscow is unanimous for a strike.
 The leaders have declared their abili- ty to stop every railroad in Russia
 Russia apparently is on the eve of a great if not final struggle for mas tery between the government and the proletariat. Both sides have lined up for battle.
 The declaration of war. by the prole- tariat in the form of a proclamation of complete general political strike will tie up the railroads, the telegraphs and every industry and business in the ern- pire, and Russia may again be cut of from the world not only by wire. but by rail.
 There is an air of suppressed excite ment throughout the city The streets have a regular holiday appearance in honor of the emperor's name and ars crowded.
 Collisions between the reds and the loyalists are momentarily expected.
 Batteries of machine guns are sta. toned at several points of vantage throughout the city, and patrols of in- fantry and cossacks are everywhere. A specially heavy guard is stationed in tue neighborhood of the Jewish mar kef,
 The workmen's organizations at Mos. COW have decided to hegin a general strike at once.
 At Tukum. Courland. mobs of Lith- uanians and Esthonians attacked s hundred Cossaeks and dragons. the only military force stationed in Tukum.
 The mobs. after wild fighting. killed the soldiers to the last man, cut of their arms and legs and ripped up their bodies.
 The streets were strewn with bodies and dismembered parts
 Later 600 troops arrived here with three guns, shelled the place and charg- ed the mobs of peasants. who surren- dered or were dispersed.
 Order has been re-established. and the soldiers are burying the bodies of the slain and caring for the wounded.
 In all $40 soldiers and peasants were killed. and many were wounded.
 Most of the remaining population have fled to Riga. which is now the safest town in this part of Russia.
 At Mitau frightful stories are pour ing in from the interior, where desper- ate fighting has occurred between the troops aud insurgents. ReyoIting tales are told of the barbarities practlced on the German landlords. who are more detested by the Let's than the Rus sians.
 The governments great fear is that the rebellion. which is extending south ward to the Polish frontier. may arouse the Poles to an armed uprising.
