SOCIETY BEAUTY A SPY.
Russian Lady Apprehended in Ger
many for Perpetrating
Espionage.

Mile. Hinaida S~molianinoff. a beau,
tiful young Russian lady, writes the
Leipzig correspondent of the London
Express, will appear in the dock at Leip-
zig very Don to answer the charge of
perpetrating espionage in Germany on
behalf of the Russian government.
She has been a most prominent fig
ure in the most fashionable society Of
the German capital for several years,
and came here with warm letters of
introduction from prominent Russians,
describing her as a lady Of noble family,
with great literary accomplishments.
Mile, SmOlianinoff passed as a lady
Of Independent means, who dabbled in
literature for her own pleasure. She
is of distinguished appearance, gay,
fascinating manners, and was a great
social success. She made many friends
among officers and high state digni-
tarieS.
The extent of the espionage will prob
ably be revealed at the proceedings in
court, Many former friends in high So
ciety have been summoned to give evil
dence against Mile. S%molianinoff, and
sensational revelations are expected.

PERIL OF PROCLAMATION.
Disregard for Thai Which Is Holy
Declared to Be Mans Great
est Failing.

The chief peril to which man is ex-
posed is that of PROCLAMATION of what Is
holy, from which he is shielded by shut
ting him up in the circle of his senses,
and restricting him to the shadows of
ais reason, writes Julian Hawthorne, IN
Lovers in Heaven" in Century. With.
In that circle, and in those shadows, he
acquires what he believes is wisdom,
pursues what he names ambitions, suf-
fers what he fancies are pain and sor-
row, wreaks what he intends for re-
Yenges, commits what he calls sins, in
dulgeS what he mistakes for love, and,
In a word, lives what it is given him to
Imagine is human life. Yet in all that
span of existence there is but a handful
OF hours when he truly lives the life that
is his own and not a pretense, an eva
sion, or an error; and those few hours
appear to him-saYe at the instant of
their TeYelatiOn-as Authorizations.
Nevertheless they are the porticos and
pillars, halls and gardens, sun and stars
of his heaven; which he pragmatically
and complacently puts away from him,
and turns himself to what seems to him
his heaven, but is his hell. Truly, this is
a pity and a loss.

ISLAND HOME OF PELlcAns
Favorite Nesting Resort Of the Birds
in Indian River, State OF
Florida.

In that~long, narrow lagoon on the
cast coast of Florida known as Indian
river, writes Frank NJ. Chapman, in AN
intimate Study of the Pelican, in Cen.
fury, there is a muddy islet three or
our acres in extent. Originally It doubt
less did not differ from hundreds Of
similar neighboring %islets; but, for some
reason past finding out. this islet. and
this alone, forms the nesting resort, the
home, Of all the pelicans Of the Indian
river, If not. indeed, Of the east coast
of Florida. The brown pelican, unlike
its white cousin, nests normally in low
trees and bushes; and there is evidence
that when the original pelican colonists
landed on the islet which now bears
their name, 1t was well grown with black
and red mangroves in which the birds
placed their Scaffoiding Of sticks. Elk

water--perhaps also excessive use by the
birds, which sometimes build as many
as seven nests in a single mangroye-
have killed tree after tree. until at
preent only three seryIceable trees re-
main. Still the birds come back, the i'm
polling motive which prompts them to
to this particular spot being evil

them to nest in trees.

DESTRUCTION BY WEEVlLS.
Insects Cause Great Loss in the
Chestnut Crops of the Va
rious States.

A fair estimate of the damage done
annually by weevils to chestnuts grown
in the United States would probably
fall little short of rs per cent. while in
some years the percentage exceeds that
figure, running as high as 40 or so e
cent, states the Scientific American.
Growers in some localities report no
damage, Others place losses as low as
five or ten per cent, while instances
are cited of whole crops being destroyed.
The amount of loss is dependent on
locality, season, and to a more limited
extent on the variety of nuts grown
The greatest damage is usually incurred
in regions where chestnuts have grown
wild for many years, and the least where
there are no wild ehestnuts or chinqua-
pins and the nuts are grown only for
market and are carefully gathered. The
most extensive losses, Judging from
available sources of information, an
pear TO be in Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, New York lin the
vicinity of New York city,, Delaware.

DONE FOR THE INDIANS.
Benefits Conferred Upon the Nations
Wards in tho Last Nine
teen Years.

Under the title "A New Chapter Open
ing for the Indians" the Boston Tran
script reviews what has been done for
these national wards since the Dawes
bill in 1886. Concluding it says:
There is no longer any reason to
doubt that, as humanitarians have al
ways hoped, what is left of the ace will
become a sturdy and valuable strand in
the national cable. Too many Indians
among those who have been fortunate
have become well-to-do and respected
citizens in the western states; too many
fiourishing districts in the transmits
sissippt country are already to their
credit as civilizers and improVers of the
land, to doubt this any longer. The In
dian of romance has gone; but the time
will come when any strain of Indian
blood will be gloried in by its possessor,
as, indeed, it is now by many a. person
Of note in the country. There were at
Il time, not long since, three or four
living United States senator's of Indian
stock, including the distinguished SEN
ator from Acknowledgment. There
has never been any time, from the foun-
dation of this government, when there
has not been Indian blood in the senate.
from John Randolph, of Roanoke,
down. The latest conclusion of the bu-
reau of ethnology of the Smithsonian in
stitution is that instead Of tending
extinction, the North American
Indians are in greater numbers in this
country to-day than they we're at the
of the discovery Of America by
CHRISTOPHER Columbus"

Hard winter signs, according to pre-
dictions handed down by our fore
fathers, are in abundance this fall. Eek
pert" woodsmen declare that the SOUR
rel and other animals of the woods have
thicker coats of fur than usual. There is
an old saying handed down from time
immemorial to the effect that wild ami
mails grow much thicker coats of fur
when the winter is going to be hare. So
taking these signs, as well as hundreds
of Others, which each of the local
prophets can give, under considera-
ton, the farmers have been unusually
active in their Observation-Disclosures

Authors Two Sides.

Most of us mean to be acquainted with
the great writer's of the English Ian,
guage. at least, and it is only fair Ia
them and to ourselves to begin our &C.
quaintance as pleasantly as possible.
For that reason it is wise to ask the ad-
vice of some older person who is fond OF
the author we mean to read. Often an
author will have written in several diff
fering styles. Some writings we may
like; others may offend us, and prevent
us from inquiring further. No author
has written always well; and there is
trash published under all great names.

SHOT STRUCK DEER'S HORN
Hunters Bullet stuns Big Buck
Without Having Entered
the Hide.

Il had a chance this year of seeing
what effect a bullet striking a deer's
horn would have on the animal ITSELF"
said P P. Wilder. at the st. Louis,
according to the Duluth Herald.
My path lay along the old logging
road, over a rolling country. had
traversed perhaps half the distance
when, greatly to my surprise, on look
ing ahead, | saw a large buck walk.
ing along the road toward me. He
was about 225 yards distant. | was
just coming over the brow of a hill,
and as yet the animal had failed to
see me. / quickly dropped back be-
hind the rise Of ground and got in
readiness to shoot, expecting the deer
to come quite a lot nearer. Prob
ably 1t wasn't more than 10 seconds,
or possibly ten, before ! cautiously
raised my head over the knoll. My
game had disappeared.
Il started on the run down the
road, in his direction. The trail was
soft, and / wore rubbers, making
scarcely a sound. ! had nearly reached
the place where | saw him when
there was a great crashing off to the
right, There was the buck, running at
full speed, not more than so or 60
yards away. Only 4 little brush was
between us. | got in two shots, and
at the second he stopped almost dead
still, and then began moving forward
at a Snail's pace, barely being able to
drag himself along. 1t was just as If
something was holding him back. I'm
der these conditions | was able 10
land the next bullet in a vital spot,
and the buck dropped in his track. On
the body / found that the
second bullet had struck near the base
Of the horn, almost SCATTERING it. The
shock stunned the animal so that 1t
could scarcely move"
