REPEATED FAREWELLS-.?
n Knsslan Habit or Hugging and Klaa
l lug at Parting.
JF in Russia a great deal of emotion is
-expended over a railway journey. To
nine-tenths of the people a trip of a
liundred miles by rail is a tremendous
event, and they accordingly bid their
friends farewell with a solemnity and
effusion unknown to the "globe trot
ting" American. Rough men and stout
old women hug ' one another with the
lervor of bears, and half the people are
either kissing or shedding tears.
.Not the least amusing part of the
spectacle to the beholder are the ludi
crous mistakes of the uninitiated. Sev
eral warnings are given before the
train leaves, and many persons take
each warning forthe final one.
Thomas Stevens, in his volume en
titled "Through Russia on a Mustang,"
mentions a woman who was saying hei
parting word to her husband through
an open window of the car. The bell
was rung. The lady leaned out; her
Jmsband's arms were placed about her
neck. They kissed each other with
resonance, once, twice, thrice! She
drew back into the car, and both ex
pec ted the train to move off.
It did not stir, however, and an offi
cer told the man that there were still
fifteen minutes to wait, and that
'another signal would be given. Instead
of one signal there proved to be two,
and so this loving couple treated the by
standers to their little tableau no less
than three times, two of which were tlx
result of false alarms.
The English Army.
It grows harder every year to get re
emits for the British army, chiefly be
cause army life has not improved witl
the advance of the nation. Wages hav
risen mtil the average is three or foui
times that of a private's pay, and so a
little intrigue has to be used. An ordet
lias been issued requiring all boys whe
apply for the place of telegraph mes
senger to agree to join the army at th
expiration of their term in the messen
jer service. An English paper calls at
tention to the immense importation or
fcoys in the ranks of the army, and th
increasing difficulty of obtaining re
. exults owing to the smallness of th
pay, the poor chances of promotion foe
those without influential friends, am
the chilling manner in which the sol
diers are treated where they ought U
fee welcome.

AN -EXPENSIVE TOWN.
Bill Turley's DUeouraging Experience In
a Chicago Restaurant.
Bill Turley, of Erwin Township, Ind.,
came to Chicago on business, writes Eti
R. Pritchard in. the Arkansaw Traveler.
Bill fancied he knew it all, and a thing or
two besides, so he swaggered around with
his pants in his boots and his hat on one
side of his head, swore , at the bus drivers,
knocked over a couple of hotel runners at
the Union depot, and " 'lowed Sheecavvgo
wuzent so dad-durned big 'at he couldn't
find anywheres he wanted ter go, by jing."
So, with an impudent go-to-thunder look
in his eye and a rolling stand-back-here
swagger in his gait, he mowed hia way
along Canal afreet and past a long line of
bacumen, who, sizing him up as "no bloody
good," allowed him to go unscathed. He
turned east on Madison street, crossed the
bridgo, and a few minutes later brought
up at Clark; here he stopped, and, for tho
flrst time, showed somo signs of doubt and
uneasiness. At length he stepped up to a
policeman, and, accosting, httn, said: "Say.
I want ter go to a tavern or some place
where I kin git suthin' ter eat"
"Right across the street," answered tho
officer, pointing with his club to a largo
building on which the sign, "Restaurant
Breakfast Now -Ready," was conspicuously
displayed. Our Hoosier friend crossed over
and entered. As he sat down to the table a
waiter rushed up, poured out a glass of ice
water, shoved a bill of fare under his nose,
and hurried away to perform a similar office
for another patron who sat opposite.
A minute later he returned to Bill's chair
and said : "Well, sir, what will you have '
"Well," said Bill, slowly, "bring me some
steak 'n' onions, bam and eggs, baked ta
ters, plate o' toast 'n' er cup o' coffee."
The waiter had him repeat the order, and
theu finding he had gotten it right, he sailed
away to have it filled.
Twenty minutes later, during which time
Turley had grown not a little fidgety and
nervous, the waiter appeared with an enor
mous tray-load of eatables. First he de
posited on the table a large sirloin steak on
a huge platter, flanked by an odorous rim
of fried onions ; then he placed beside it a
huge slice of ham and three fried eggs, then
a dish of baked potatoes, and, lastly, a plate
of toast, steaming hot.
Bill fell to work with an air of a man who
meant business; while all unconscious to
himself he was the target of uot a few in
quisitive eyes, he proceeded to dispatch
tnat breakfast in about the time in which
an ordinary man would have disposer" of a
ham sandwich and a toothpick.
Having finished his meal he shoved back
from the table, picked up his hat from the
floor, where he had deposited It beside his
chair, and made his way to the cashier's
desk. He threw down a quarter and was
passing on out when the waiter came up
and, plucking him by the sleeve, said:
"You've forgotten your check, sir; here
It is ; please pay the cashier."
That's all right," said Bill, gruffly, "I've
settled with the cashier. I gin him a quar
ter jess now."
"But, my friend," expostulated the waiter,
your check is for two dollars. You don't
expect to get a feed like that for a quarter,
do you?"
"Two dollars 1" echoed Turley in blank
dismay, "I thought twenty-five cents a meal
was the price everywhere." .
"Not much it isn't," returned the waiter.
"Bo you can just walk up and settle and
save trouble."
Bill saw he was in for it, so he walked up
and paid like a man. But as he went out he
remarked: "Two dollars ter bre'kfus an'
do great shakes of a meal nuther. Well, I
kin live on cheese and crackers an cove
oysters till ter-morrow; but. Lord, won't I
make the grub look sick when I git back to
old Erwin t"
Bill got back home all right, buthe wonders
yet how people In Chicago manage to pan
their board bills.
SOMETHING ABOUT BLONDES.
An Observing Gotham Conductor Say!
They Are Careless About Their Hair.
She was a big, tall blonde, witl
square shoulders, a narrow waist, pat
ent leather shoes and a swagger air th:-
would have taken the train alon-j by ii
self. She got in the car ;-.t L'w.iiy
eighth street, got off at Fou-'tssath
street, and between the two stations
she picked up four hairpins from th?
cross seats of the car and hid them ia
her taffy-colored back hair. The bij
brakeman in charge of the car said to
Xew York Telegram Reporter while lie
stood near the platform: "Did yea see
the big blonde pick up the hairpins'
Well, there are a great many women
who do that same thing every day, and
there are some of them that we know
simply because they seem to find pleas
ure in taking odd hairpins and using
them."
"Are there so many hairpins to be
found on the elevated cars?" asked the
reporter.
"Why, their name is ' legion," said
Ned, "and most of them arc to be found
either early in the morning or late in
the afternoon. It is peculiar how man j
of these same hairpins, which are f ounO
all over the car seats, are the" gilt ones
used by blondes. It is generally sup
posed that there are three brunettes to
one blonde, yet it is a peculiar fact that
we pick up more hairpins for the use of
blondes in the elevated cars than we do
black ones, and that is the reason thai
the lady who just got out of the cai
found so many hairpins that she could
use."
Canadians in the United States.
According to Le Guide Francais des
Etats Unis, the French Canadians in
the United States own $105,328,500
worth of real estate, and 10,606 of them
are in business for themselves. There
are now 896,000 French Canadians in
the United States, half a million of
whom are in New England and New
York. The number of French
Canadians in Canada is 1,700,000.
though when England acquired Can
ada they only numbered 65,000,' a fact
which strikingly indicates the fecund
ity of the race. In Boston they num
ber 11,000, and in various parts of New
England they have flourishing schools
and societies,- and they now. talk pf es
tablishing a college. They have repre
sentatives in tho legislatures of five
states, and they have nine newspapers
in New England and New York. "In
polities," says the authority quoted,
"the majority are republicans, though
a good many are democrats. They are
naturally conservative. They favor
order, discountenance radical views or
experiments, and oppose strikes and
secret societies. They also strenuously
oppose divorce."

A.T THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
Wrecked Vessels and Drowned People Al-
' . ways Sink to the Ground.
There is a rather common but erro
neous notion to the effect that a human
body or even a ship will not sink to the
bottom of the profounder abysses of
the ocean, but will, on account of the
density of the waters at a great depth,
remain suspended at some distance
above the surface of the earth. This,
according to Seribner, is an error. No
ather fate awaits the drowned sailor or
his ship than that which comes to tht
narine creatures who die ' on the bot
tom of the sea in time their dust all
passes into the great storehouse of the
aarth, even as those who receive burial
jn the land. However deep the sea, it
is but s few hours before the body of a
nan who finds bis grave in the ocean is
it rest upon the bottom; it there re
ceives the same swift service from the
igents which, in the order of nature,
ire appointed to care for the dead, as
;omes to those who are reverently i il
lumed in blessed ground. All save the
hardest parts of the skeleton are quick
ly taken again into the realm of the
.iving, and even those more resisting
portions of the body are, in large part,
ippropriated by the creatures of the sea
ioor, so that before the dust returns in
;he accumulating water to the firm-set
;arth it may pass through an extended
;ycle of living forms.
The fate of animal bodies on the sea
floor is well illustrated by the fact that
oeneath the waters of the gulf stream,
where it passes southern Florida, there
ire in some places quantities of bones,
ipparently those of the manitee, or sea
:ow, a large herbivorous mammal,
which," like the seal, has become
idapted to aquatic life; these creatures
plentifully inhabit the tropical rivers
which flow into the Caribbean sea, and
ire, though rarely, found in the streams
jf southern Florida. At their death
hey drift out into the open water anc
ire swept away to the northward by
she ocean current. For some weeks,
perhaps, the carcasses are buoyed up by
the gases of decomposition which, are
retained by their thick, oily skins; as
these decay and break the bodies fall.tc
the bottom.
SLAVERY IN PERU.
It Goes by Another Kame, But Is Bondage
Pure and Simple.
Slavery has no recognition in Peru
vian law, but there are ways of main
taining and explaining it not unworthy
if some admiration for their cleverness.
Take, for instance, an established
jhacra or hacienda any hacienda. Ac
cording to law the Indian is a free man.
Certainly. Also, according to law, no
man white, mestizo ' or Indian may
leave the place where he has contracted
i debt until he has paid it, if his credit
ors choose to enjoin (embarger) him.
Now it happens that the Indians are all
ind always heavily in debt to the owner
of the chacra where they live, and said
owners do choose to enjoin them.
Wherefore, concludes Harper's Maga
zine, the Indian remains perpetually
embargoed. AVhen the young Indian
has grown large enough to do what may
be regarded as a man's work he enters
service.. He receives the habitual
recompense of nine soles per month.
Dn this sum he cannot live., The master
knows it, the Indian knows it; but what
Is to be done when 'such is the estab
lished stipend throughout the length
and breadth of the valley. The result
is, receiving none of the commonest
necessaries of life gratuitously, he over
draws from the first. A strict account
is kept of all that he obtains from his
master of food, clothing, implements
and knicknacks; papers of injunction
are duly served, and he -is compelled to
work on day after day in satisfaction of
the debt.
Consider another phase of the matter.
If a man desires to establish a new
hacienda he can obtain all the land he
may need by simply "denouncing" it in
due legal form, occupying and building
a house on it; but he cannot secure
laborers by spreading the rumor of his
wishes and summoning a crowd of ap
plicants from which to choose. For this
he must repair to some well-stocked
hacienda where there are Indians to
spare, pay the debts of such as he se
lects, thereby transferring the Indian
with his obligation and its attendant
bond of servitude from one master tc
another.
BLUFFED BY A DUMMY.
Clever Scheme of an Old Timer to Ward
OIT the law Minions.
The Trinidad (Col.) Chronicle relates
an incident of Joe Simpson, an old
timer, who recently died in that city.
Joe owned a piece of land near town, on
which he one day found a corps of sur
veyors running a line. He promptly
drove them off with a 44-caliber re
volver. A warrant was sworn out for
his arrest, but the deputy sheriff who
attempted to serve it was held np by
the furious frontiersman, his gun and
belt emptied and himself sent back tc
town quicker than he came.
Anticipating a visit from a posse ol
men, Simpson took an old . suit ol
clothes, stuffed it with grass, placed the
dummy in a chair at the door of his
cabin, surmounted the figure with a
wide-brimmed sombrero and arranged
a broom to give the innocent effigy the
appearance of preparing to send a bullet
through any one who might approach.
Simpson then hid in an adjacent corn
field and awaited developments. The
posse finally arrived," and, catching
sight of the figure in the doorway, held
a hurried consultation and . fin ally beat
a retreat. Simpson was a highly
amused spectator of the performance,
and the next day he came to town tm1
gave himself ud.

MUTE SOLDIERS.
&. Military Company Composed of
Deaf and Dumb Members.
fiie Drilling Is Conducted Entirely bj
Signals and the Work Performed
Is Described as Simply
Wonderful.
The only deaf-mute military company
in the world is now the leading attrac
tion at the Illinois institute for deaf
mutes at Jacksonville, 111., and the
work performed by this silent company
is simply wonderful. Every member of
the company, with the exception of the
captain, is deaf and dumb. A few years
ago Dr. Gillett, the superintendent, em
ployed as storekeeper George. H. Scur
lock, a pupil of the state normal school
at Carbondale. . Mr. Scurlock at once
began the study of the sign language,
and in due time made himself familiar
with thatdifScult mode of communica
tion. He put it to a use little dreamed
of by the superintendent or the trus
tees. At the university he had been
drilled in military tactics by- Lieut. C.
G. Starr, of the United States army, and
he conceived the idea one day of form
ing a company from the pupils of the in
stitution. The first thing to be done was to in
vent a code of signs representing the
orders given in the marching, drill and
manual of arms, and to this he bent his
energies for some weeks, and at last
had it so far perfected that he deemed
it safe to begin his experiment.
It was early in the spring of 1891 that
he collected thirty boys together and
told them his plans, and they at once
entered into the idea with all the eager
ness of youth.
Some of his signs are as follows:
"About face!" is given by raising the
hand and making the letter "r," which
is by holding the index finger behind
the middle one and then turning the
hand round. "Right face!" is by hold
ing the hand up and turning it to the
right, r.nd "Left face!" by the reverse
movement. "Forward march!" by, ex
tending the hand forward on a leveL
"Halt!"' by a r.imple cut with the sword,
or the letter "h," which is made by ex
tending the. first two fingers, forward
"Fours!" right or left, by holding th
hand up and the fingers separated and
then turning them to the right or left
as the case may be. "Form triangle,"
by pointing the index finger toward
each. "Form square," by indicating
the side of a square with the hands in
the proper position. "To the rear," by
holding the open hand up and quickly
reversing it. "Mark time," by drawing
the right hand slowly over the other
hand, doubled up into a fist. "Bight
dress," by two fingers pointed in the di
rection desired, and as explained, these
and many more constitute the code of
preparatory signs or orders and when
the captain's sword goes up they are
executed.
The more intricate orders are given
by combination of signs. All the drill
is executed as promptly as by hearing
soldiers and it will be readily seen thas
a quick eye is necessary and a close at
tention to business. The cadets never
turn their heads, but maintain a true
soldierly bearing, and when they or any
of them are so situated that they can't
see the captain the order is repeated as
quick as a flash.
ON THE SARGASSO SEA. .
A German Tilareographer Has Sailed There
and Iinotva All About It.
, The Sargasso sea, or floating masses
of gulf weed in mid-Atlantic, which im
peded the ships of Columbus four hun
dred years ago, according to the London
Globe, has been the subject of careful
study by Dr. Krummel, a German mare-
Lographer, who takes a different view of
its origin from that commonly accepted.
He shows, to begin y.'ith, that the sea is
much mere extensive than Humboldt
supposed. The middle or thickest part
is elliptical in form; the great axis
lying along the tropic of cancer and the
foci at forty-five degrees and seventy
degrees west longitude. Around this are
more extensive but thinner accumula
tions of the weed, which vary with the
prevailing winds.
The gulf weed (fucus natans), which,
with its little round "berries," is not
unlike the mistletoe in form, but of a
brownish-yellow color, has been thought
to have lost its property of rooting on
rocks and to have acquired the power of
living afloat. It has even been suggest
ed that the sea marks the site of a sub
merged continent, apparently the lo6t
Atlantis. Dr. Krummel holds that the
weed has simply been drifted to its pres
ent position by the gulf stream and its
affluents from the West Indian islands
and the gulf of Mexico. It is now proved
that the gulf stream is not a single
narrow "river of the ocean," as Maury
poetically described it, but consists of a
number of currents not only from the
Mexican gulf but the Antilles. The
weed, according to Dr. Krummel, would
take fifteen days to float as far north as
the latitude of Cape Hatteras and five
and a half months to reach the Azores.
In the Sargasso sea it becomes heavy
and sinks, but the supply is kept up by
the gulf stream. Dr. Krummel is. cer
tainly right in giving the Sargasso sea.
a much wider area than Humboldt did
Kand than our maps usually portray. It
has been encountered some two or three
hundred miles northeast of Barbadoes;
but whether this weed is solely carried
from . the West Indies and the gulf la
perhaps open to doubt. -
Catting Fine Veneers.
Few people have an idea how thin a
sheet of veneer may be cut with the aid
of improved machinery. There is a firm
in Paris which makes a business of cut
ting veneers, and to such perfection
have they brought it that from a single
tusk thirty inches long they will cut a
sheet of ivory one hundred and fifty
inches long and twenty inches wide.
Some of the sheets of rosewood and ma
hogany are only about a fiftieth of an
inch in thickness. Of course, they can
not cut all woods so thin as this, for the
grain of many varieties is not sufficient
ly close to enable such fine work to be
done, but the sheets of boxwood, maple
and other woods of this character are
often so thin as to be translucent.
A RUSSIAN BELL.
& turned to Its Old Hone After a Ha
ishment of Thrco Centuries.
A distinguished Siberian exile snugly
packed in a wooden bo?r and honored
with the regretful farewells of a whole
population hao just been returned to
European Russia, under an escort ' of a
committee cf citizens glad to receive it
back after its many privations. The
said exile is no ether than the famous
bell of Uglich, banished to Tobolsk in
1593 by order cf Czar Boris Godunoff
for having rung the signal for the in
surrection in Uglich at the time of
the assassination cf Crown Prince
Dimitri. Writing of it iu his book Mr.
Kennan says: "The ceiled bell has
been purged of its iniquity, has received
ecclesiastical consecratio;-., and now
calls the orthodox people cf Tobolsk to
prayers. The inhabitants cf Uglich
have recently been trying to recover
their bell upon . tho. pica that it has
been sufficiently punished by three
centuries of csilc for its political un
trust worthiness in 1593, and that it
ought now to bo allowed to return U
its home. The mayor of Tobolsk argues
that the bell was exiled for life, and
that consequently its term "of banish
ment has not yet errpircd. He contends,
furthermore, that even admitting the
original title of the Uglich people, three
centuries of adverse possession by the
city of Tobolsk have divested the
claimants of all their rights, and that
the bell -shall bo allowed to remain
where it is. The question it is said,
will be carried into the Russian courts."
The latest news from Tobolsk, besides
showing that a decision has been
reached in favor of Uglich, illustrates,
says Free Russias, the inconsequential
character cf Russian justice, which,
closes its tribunals to the vrongs of
thousands of sufferers in Siberia and
opens them to a miserable squabble
about a bell. 1
WHENCE CAME -THE FROGS?
A Recent Shower It Sow Jersey Sug
gests Some Scientific Speculation.
During a thunderstorm in New Jer
sey the other day it . "rained frogs" to
such an extent that, according to the
testimony of multitudinous witnesses,
the streets of Port Morris were alive
with hundreds of these creatures.
Here's a state of things which the Bos
ton Globe says science can no more ex
plain to-day than it could two thou
sand years ago. It is still said, of
course, that these frogs were sucked up
in marshes and carried into the clouds,
but no human being ever yet saw a frog
thus taken up, and it is odd that noth
ing is ever "raised to eminence" in this
way except the frog, though plenty of
other living things may be near by all
ready to be sucked up.
A good many observers hold to the
curious and interesting opinion that
under certain very rare electrical con
ditions life seems, generated spon
taneously. . The frog is a peculiarly
electrical creature, . and in fact first
suggested the existence of animal mag
netism as a distinct force to science. If
any animal could be thus suddenly and
strangely called into being it might
well be the frog. Now that the univer
sity extension professors are about set
ting to work teaching the people
science, it would be interesting to bear
them explain mysteries such as the de
scent of frogs, which has been the talk
of Port Morris and all the region round
about.

THE PREVENTION CURE.,
Ireserving the Health of Schoolboys by
Daily Attention to Their Condition.
"A Headmaster's Wife," in an uncom
monly ' sensible letter to a London
paper, describes a plan whereby the
health of schoolboys or . young col
legians can be more thoroughly taken -care
of than is usual. In normal school
practice' all boys "reported sick" are
excused from football and other sports,
but the question is, to what extent
must a schoolboy feel ailing before he f
reports himself sick? It is the very
pluck that one admires in boys that
generally works the mischief, and they .
often will t complain until the delay
has more or less seriousl- aggravated
the case.
Though so unready to report himself
"sick," a boywiU usually admit that .
he ."does not feel very gay" if the
question is put to him directly, and it
is this fact that has given rise to a
system which has been found to an
swer excellently well. One boy in
each dormitory is appointed to report
each night upon the condition of the
boys in his dormitory. He writes on a
slip of paper: "All well in such and
such dormitory," and adds the date,
or: "All well except so and so, who
comnlains of thin nr t.h.t. malaise "
These slips are placed nightly on the
desk of the lady manageress. .
Suppose that a boy complains of
headache or sore throat, ' he is at once
summoned, the slight ailment is in
quired into, a simple remedy ordered,
and in nine cases out of ten nothing
more is heard of the matter. . If, how
ever, it seems to be a case of chill, the
boy is kept warm in the sick room for
a day or two. i
"I am convinced," says the "Head- ,
master's Wife," "that being kept warm .
for a day or two often wards off a seri
ous illness, and in this opinion I am
supported by one of the most eminent
of London physicians. A plan some
thing analogous to this might be car
ried on in nearly aU educational insti
tutions. The preventive' takes only a
day or two, the 'cure' may take weeks,
and that means a serious loss of valua
ble work and possibly precarious
health for years to come." .
