Russia is the last courttry In the world
concerning which we should expect to
hear that i' has a good system for the
administration of law and justice. How
ever, according to Albert F. Heard's arti
cle in Harper's Mayazina for May, the
judicial system of the Czar's dominions
is excellent, and, if honesty followed
out, would work to the happiness of the
Czar' i subjects. But there's the rub.
Being an nut crat of the most absolute
kind, and judging himself and bis gov
ernment to be in danger, Alexander III.
has so modified the judicial system of
his country by imperial decrees that it
might just about as well not exist at all.
Against the ukases the Nihilists have op
posed assassination; and so it goes, from
bad to worse. The end no one can tell,
but there is much to hope for in a coun
try whero the masses of the people would
rather bo beaten with stripes than pay a
small fine! It is especially interesting to
read this article iu connection with Dr.
Lansdell's "Russian Convicts iu the Salt
Mines of Iletsk" in the sami number.
"The Charleston "World" expresses the
hope that in the platform of the coming
Democratic National Convention "there
will be no hidden slaps at cither the free
trade or protction wing of the demo
crats." We nominate the editor of "The
Charleston World" for chair of the Plat
form Committee of the convention in
question. It is clear from what he says
that he has a genius for standing on
both sides of the tariff question New

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
.vhu h so many seem now to be afilicted? If
you m ill remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used witli nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria arc intruded to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through tho system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous.
An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell one's physical condition
by the state of the hair!

THE COST OF EQUESTRIANISM.
VVli at a Correspondent Saw and learned
at Hiding- Academy.
"What is tho general object in th minds
of those who eomo berer I asked tho man
ager. "Oh, dear me! everything save tho right
ono, tho development of tho art of riding.
Bomo come for their health, Homo for their
looks; sonic to get fat, some to get lean;
somo to acquire that grace of carriage so
sought after on pavement or can; somo to
show oft in tho park later on. Most of them
conic for tha express purpose of engaging in
something that shall distinguish them from
tho common herd by the outlay of money
necessary."
"Why. it is not such an expensive amuse
ment as that? I see your terms"
"Ha, terms! Had one but to pay tuition
fees and jump on a horse, 6hop girls and
newsboys might ride; but, mark j'ou, (XX
for a horse, $130 for a ridinp: habit, $125 for
a saddle, i 20 for top boots and fo for a whip.
Then ono who has one suit must have two,
ono to practice" in, ono to show off in. Bo
sides, there are road lessons, 54; music rido,
f2; leaping lesson, f3; board for horse, fSO
Ier month; extra practice hours, repairs to
Buddie Oh, yes, one can do without somo
of those things, but she must discount that
much from her pleasure and expect to meet
danger of accident, mortilieation or discom
fort at every turn. At the least estimate,
using school horses, etc., it requires a good
$500 to take a l ido in the park in anythirg
like decent shape. A lady's complete suit,
pants and all, costs in tho neighborhood of
150; boots, $20 or 25."
"Pantsf
"Oh, certainly. No riding suit is complete
without pants. See that teacher assisting
that young lady in tho green habit to mount.
fc!ee him delicately raise tho bottom of the
skirt, just about as a shoe store clerk does
in trying on a pair of shoes. See him tug,
once, twice. Well, that is pulling down her
pants, which feat sho could not very easily
perform for herself. This garment is made
of cloth the same as the suit, and when seen
without the skirt looks precisely like a man's
dress trousers. A dressmaker at homo usu
ally makes these garments. For the rest
special tailors keep the measurements, and
all a lady has to do is to send in her order to
secure a perfect fit on short notice.
"One of the greatest nuisances with which
we have to contend is tho corset. I say em
phatically and absolutely, no woman can
learn to ride properly with a corset on. She
cannot obey instructions. Besides tho dis
comfort of it, she is in constant danger
through lack of control over her horse. She
mast bo absolutely free fron constriction on
every portion of her body, and bo able to
breathe, bend and throw her arm over the
head with facility, if sho would learn to ride
with grace and safety.
"Same way with gloves. See the difference
in tho management of those two line3 over
there, one with a tight fitting buckskin, the
other a large, 60f t" chamois. And the differ
ence is more manifest still to the wearer.
Many wear thick webbed jersey combination
suits under tho habit; somo flannels; some
both. Many here are riding without corsets."

The Country I.out of Cuba.
The guajiro, properly speaking, is the Cu
ban country lout; the same fellow you havo
seen lounging about remote country cros3
roads stores in our own land; the fellow who
is humped and callow, scraggy of hair, with
spreading legs, swinging jaws, silent tongue
and sodden eyes the being here not so brigh;
as tho negro of the topics, nor so sunny, nor
even so little aspiring. Ho is a sort of spirit
less animal, never exactly harmful, never
wholly helpful, always contented with a rag
ged sombrero of any sort of stuff, a itir of
leather breeches, a filthy shirt worn outside
these, any vile cigarette, like our own noble
American youth, a cockade, and a machete,
or any other villainous knife, though a tap
from a riding whip would drive him into a
paralysis of fear.
lie is not vicious, though he looks it des
perately. Ho does some labor. He does that
not wholly under protest. But he is, all in
all, only auother one in summing up popula
tion. If he be niari-ied he lives in a palm
thatched hut anywhere. His wife, whose
grade of intelligence is even beneath his own,
is prolific of children and expedients. That
is, she will give her husband from a dozen to
a score of healthy young gua jiros, asid knows
how to boil roots anil mend tho thatches of
their cabin. These duties are about all their
condition imposes. Over there against the
mountain, where I have been for a few days,
are a number cf these guajiros' homes. I
counted ninety-three children in seven fami
lies. Of these over one-half were naked.

Tlie First I'licmograpli.
A Boston man says that when Edison first
thought of making a phonograph he perfected
most of the details l.-eforo even drawing a
plan. "When he had the idea well developed
he told an old German, who mado models for
him, to make a machine after a certain pat
tern. The inventor didn't hint what ha
wanted it for, but occasionally sent an order
for a change or alteration to be made, with
out even looking at the model. Finally the
German took the machine to Mr. Edion,
who fitted a bit of tinfoil into it, turned the
crank, and spoke into the funnel the words
of that famous poem beginning "Mary had a
little lamb." The German looked on as
though he thought that the inventor had
gone crazy. Then Mr. Edison reversed tho
crank, and in that queer, piping voice now
so familiar, the machine, repeated the lines.
"Mein Gott!" said tho German, throwing up
his haDds, "Mein Gott! it talks 1" New York

T!oot and Shoe Illiquette.
The boot and shoe etiquette sorely per
plexes native officials on ceremonial occa
sions. In the mofassil it is customary for all
native coverument officials to take off their
native shoes before entering the presence of
their superior, but if they wear English boots
no such change is required. When the gov
ernor of Bombay held a levee at Ahmedabad,
a number of Hindoo officials clubbed together
to buy a pair of English boots, so as to avoid
the indignity of appearing before his excel
lency with bare feet. Each took it in turn
so wear the boots as he was presented to the
governor, and no small amusement was
created outside the levee room by the officials
rushing backward and forward to exchange
the solitary pair of boots with the next
comer. London Globe.

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of ttornis we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 1888.
