Nationality Washed of,

A Russian sailor, deserter from
his ship, recently gave himself up to
crew of British seamen on the gu
ano island of Leone, saying that he
desired to renounce his allegiance to
the czar and to become subject of
King Edward The British sailors
were puzzled how to naturalize the
man, so they held consultation on
the subject. Finally, after the Rus.
sian had abjured his country, every
British tar present threw a bucket of
wa 'er over him, and thus his nation
ality was washed off. Exchange.

Americas Increased Importance.

Henri Lorei, professor in the Uni
yersity of Bordeaux, recently wrote an
article for the Depeche Coloniale on
France, England, and the United
States, which has been attracting
much attention. He assumes that
this country will henceforth be with
out exception the dominant power
through its ownership of the Panama
Canal and its possession of all the
strategic points commanding the ca
nal. He assumes that the United
States will henceforth stand as a pro-
tector of the Dominican republic. He
argues that those Europeon nations
will be wisest which limit their rela-
tions to this continent to strictly
economic basis. lie opposes the
idea of surrendering the islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon to the United
States, on the ground that such a ces-
sion would mean the political death
OF Canada, as the United States
would then control all the eastern
routes. Moreover, the possession of
these islands by France gives that
country valuable diplomatic lever
for the arrangement of the fisheries
disputes.

REMARKABLE EXECUTION.
Russian Criminal Who Killed Twelve
Helps Hang Himself.

Some time ago a Russian criminal
was executed in st. Petersburg. lie
had, during the last two years, muir
dcred twelve persons, the last one
being priest. The law did not show
this monster any mercy, but speedily
condemned him to death.
Stebljanski was the name of this
wholesale murderer, and lie hoped to
the last for clemency. When the
death warrant was read and the
keeper informed him that he had but
six hours to live, he ragged and swore
to revenge himself in the most ter
rible manner After being left alone
in the cell the first thing he did was
some matches, he set fire to the oil.
the window and the entire building
In moment the flames broke through
was for a time threatened with de-
struction. Fortunately, the fire was
discovered in time and got under CON
troll before much damage had been
done. but in the meantime a terrible
struggle ensued between the keepers
and the criminal who had fortified
himself with an iron bar, taken from
his bedstead. The first man to enter
the cell was knocked senseless and
it was only after being almost sullo-
was finally overpowered. Next morn
ing the execution took place The
condemned man ascended the scaifOld
with much bravado, made "A thor

short.

he said, "and though it will cause me
some inconvenience to wait will

lie lighted cigarette and, turning
to the exccutioncr. made a speech,
pointing out the detestlble in his pro-
fcssion, and as a condemned criminal
in Russia has certain rights, no one
dared to interrupt him.
The executiouer, who was really q
tender-hearted man, became visibly
affected by the morali2ng words ot
the murderer, and, turning to the
crowd assembled before the scarrold.
declared that his conscience did not
allow him to proceed or to take o
fellow mans life, and he then and
there resigned his position and de-
parted midst the shouts of the as
semblagc.
This caused great confusion
among the representatives. of the law,
for where could they in a hurry get
another eXecutioner? The question
was, however, solved by the con-
demned man, who declared that he
would execute himself rs soon as he
got through smoking. He started an
interesting conversation with the
priest during the five minutes or so
which he had left, and recommended
that he read Count Tostoi's latest
book, which contains striking re-
marks about the relation of capital
punishment to the teachings of Chris
tianity. lie then threw a kiss to a
pretty girl among the spectators,
stuck his head in the loop, and kicked
away the trap beneath his feet

SaIutes with Dynamite.

Sir Harry Rawson, the popular
admiral, was welcomed as governor
of New South Wales with the great
est enthusiasm. One port greeted
him in a novel and interesting way.

Lutte him with, so an enterprising 10y
alist hit on the happy idea of utilizing
kerosene tins. With the assistance
of plugs of dynamite and a fuse the
salute was duly given, resulting in a
round dozen of loud bangs, the same
number of dying kerosene tins, and
distracted natives fleeing for their
lives in all directions.-Exc

Keep The Flies Out.

AS time for flies is rapidly ap
preaching, let every one be prepared
to prevent, as far as possible, their
action in disseminating disease.
Flies are voracious feeders-eat
everything and while they do not
as rule bite, yet they carry wher-
ever they go many filthy matters
which they obtain by visiting dung
heaps and heaps Of all kinds of filth;
then when they alight upon food,
they deposit this filth where it can
do the most toward propagating
disease. We cannot say that they
actually place germs within the
body, yet who is to say that in some
way they do not deposit such filth
upon the surface, where it may
readily be taken into the system,
and aid in causing disease. Hence
always keep food, whether on the
table or on the ordinary place of
deposit, so covered that it can not
be touched by flies. Screen the
windows, especially of the dining
room, and vigorously expel or
destroy every fly that appears,
1t is highly disgusting to witness
the struggles Of these insects on the
fly paper, and occasionally one
escapes, and then at once alights
upon the nearest article of food,
where he may deposit some small
portion of the article used on the fly
paper. This may not be poisoned,
but it is not highly appetizing to
think of. Therefore keep the flies
out. .-PnbHe HealM.

An intelligent reader asks what
is the meaning of throwing old
shoes after a bridal couple. We
would venture to say that it means
an easy journey through life, for
there is nothing more comfortable
than old shoes.
