On tbc air a bujrle call Is sounding; Seel On the clouds the Lord of Hosts ad vancing; - Tis the reveille of Heaven the blue arch Is re sounding v With the rumbling of chariots and their horses gaily prancing; 'Tis the roll-call of the Nations Christ, the Judge, is on his throne; What a moment, awful moment, even to the Savior's own! Ciiouus: Wanderer, pilgrim, friend or foeman. What shall this great morning bring you What, my child, or man, or woman. Shall this awful morning bring you? See! E'en now the day is breaking o'er a world in darkness lying For the Lord of Light is coming, as the bugler sounds the "Forward;" And his legions leaping onward, error right and left are slaying. As the '"Corps de Armee" rally lrom the southward and the nor' ward; Oh! the wailing of tha dying, and the hiding in the irountain Of the fooli9h, unrepentant, who reject the of fered fountain! I One On the General. Old regular army officers will remem ber Gen. Magruder as a handsome, gal lant fellow, with a tendency to assume airs of superiority. An officer who served on Magrudcr's staff near Yorktown in 1S62 delights to tell the following1 story on his old com mander: We had our headquarters at the house of h wealthy widow of strong Southern sympathies that induced her to do anything in her power for the boys in gray. One day a gaunt private soldier, with red hair and straw-colored whiskers, and the dust of a week's march on his face aud clothes, stopped at the house nd said to the lady: "Madam, I'm most nigh played out with hunger, can I get a bite of dinner here?" "Certainly," was the replj', "but as I am preparing dinner for Gen. Magru der and his staff, and have not room at my table for even one more, you will have to wait for the second table." "Thank you, ma'am," said the sol dier, as he smacked his lips in anticipa tion of a hearty meal; "'tain't the number of the table I care so much for as the amount of grub." The lady went away, and the soldier took a position near the dining room door, where he could watch the move ments of the servants and regale his expanding nostrils on the odor of dishes carried past At length the bell rang, and unable to resist the temptation, or it may have been obedience to the profound modesty that is ever so characteristic of the old soldier, the man made a break for the commissary and took a seat near the head of the table. The way the private soldier ate sur prised even old campaigners. He went at it and kept at it, not as if it were a pleasure, but the most serious busi ness of his life. When the last course came, and while the unexpected guest was quietly .letting out his belt two mors holes, the General turned to him with a scowl and asked: "Sir, have you any idea with whom you are dining?" Without looking up or ceasing in the work of adjusting his belt to meet the demands of the dessert, the soldier drawled out: "Wa'al, no. I uster be mighty par ticular on that score, but sencc this doggon wah began 1 don't keer a cuss who I eat with pervidin the victuals is clean and there's enough to go lound." Magruder had good sense to join in the laughter that greeted this sally. A Comrade Mustered Oat. At Toronto, Canada, March 2 1, J. W. Charles, Company H, Ninety-sixth New York, passed away. He was enrolled under the name of J. C. Perry, and was a charter member of James S. Knowl ton Post, 532, Department of New York. It is so seldom a Grand Army funeral is witnessed outside of the borders of the Uuited States that we give a full account of the funeral serv ices as sent by the adjutant of the post: "A general order was issued and inserted in the press, calling the post to assemble atcheadquarters on that date; comrades to be dressed in black, with white gloves, and badges draped in mourning. About forty .members answered the roll-call and drove in carriages to their comrade's late resid ence, 116 Robert street, where the corpse lay in a beautiful casket, en wrapped in the silk flag of the post, surmounted by a beautiful G. A. R. wreath, the gift of the Post, and also a large 'number of other floral trib utes. A large number of citizens, who had gained information of, the G. A. R. burial through the general order in the press, vere at the residence, and all along the route to the cemetery, scanned with eager curiosity the fu neral cortege which bore the stars and stripes. Many followed the cortege to the burial place, Avhere the G. A. R. funeral services were ably performed by Capt. J. II. Stone, acting Chaplain. 'Taps' were sounded by the Bugler of the Post, and the assemblage dis persed. The press and public were loud in their praise of the highly-respectable appearance and conduct of the (comrades of our Post Com mander Johnson had command of the Post in person." Could Be TrmstiC There are heroes of the late war, lass well-kuown than Gramt, Sherman and .Sheridan, whose names are yet worthy a place In every loyal heart. One of them, Quartermaster-General Mont gomery C. Meigs, died not long ago. Of him it eould be said that from the beginning of his career as a cadet at MVesl Point, until his 'simple military funeral, harbad never been renri- 111 BlTtr hill -an ttp questioned by his superiors. Through his hands during the war passed an immense amount of govern ment funds, bnt every cent was ac counted for, and he left to his children the priceless legacy of a spotless name. A correspondent of The Companion found among her father's papers, over which she and her brother were look ing, a letter that was absolutely unde cipherable. Indeed it was a question as to what language it was written in. After long and fruitless study, they passed it on to various friends, but the case was hopeless. Some weeks after in Washington, they were talking with Gen. E. D. Tosvnsend, a classmate and dear friend of their father's, and the question of handwriting happentd to come up." The General pronounced Spinner's fa mous chirography "plain as print" be side that of. Gen. Meigs, especially "when he was in a hurry then he himself found it impossible to read it overnight." "My brother and I looked at each other," says our correspondent, "and I ran up to my room and brought down our mysterious letter. It was indeed the hand of my father's old friend Meigs. Gen. Townsend studied it thoughtfully, right side up, wrong side up; then he said: 'My dear Meigs was in one of his worst hurrys when he wrote this!' The letter is among our treasures, bnt what it says -man will never know." During the war, a paper from Gen. Miegs passed through the hands of Gen. Sherman, and is to-day pre served with this endorsement upon it in Gen. Sherman's well-known hand: "I heartily concur in the recommen dation of quartermaster-general, but I don't know what he says." lioinbardlaa the Eaemr. The Island of the St Thomas, in the West Indies, has near its shores the amp ltocu, wnicu appears, wuen seen from a short distance, almost precisely like a full-rigged ship under canvas. If the sky is clouded and the atmosphere hazy, the illusion is remarkable. M. M. Ballou repeats in "Equatorial America" the story of a mortifying mistake made by a French corvette while cruising in these latitudes. It was at a time when the buccaneers were making great havoc with legiti mate commerce in the West Indies. It seems that the coast was partially hidden by a fog when the corvette made out this rock, and, supposing it to be a ship under sail, fired a gun to leeward to bid her. heave to. Of course there was no response to the shot, and the Frenchman brought his ship closer, and cleared the decks for action. Satisfied that he had to do with a powerful adversary, he discharged the whole of his star-board armament into the supposed ship looming through the mist The corvette went about and prepared to deliver, her port guns in,a similar manner. " Then the fog slowly dispersed, and the rock smiled grimly on its assail ants. Uen. William Wells' Sadden Death. Gen. William Wells, one of Ver mont's most prominent citizens, dropped dead in New York city re cently. Gen. Wells was born in Waterbury, Vt, Dec. 14, 1637. He enlisted as a private in the First Vermont calvary, Sept 9, lo61; was promoted First Lieutenant, Oct 14, Captain, Nov. 19, 1861, and Major, Dec. 30, 1862. He was made Colonel of the regiment in July, 1864, and Brigadier-General, May 19, 18o5, and was brevetted Major-General for gallant -nd meritorious services. He was in the Vermont Legislature, 1865-66; served as Adjutant-General and Inspector-General of the State from 186i; to 1S72; then as Collector of Internal Revenue until 1885, and as State Senator from 188G to 1887. He was prominently spoken ot last year as likely to be the successor of Secre tary of War Proctor in President Har rison's cabinet Secretary Tracy's Patriotism. Secretary Tracy has ordered that only American citizens, or those who have taken the first steps to become citizens, shall be employed in the Navv yards. This is right When the time comes that we have more work than our own people can do, then will be time enough to throw open the gates of public work to aliens. Besides much of the work in the Navy yards now is of such a character that it should be kept from the knowledge of foreign naval people. It would be a great mis take to give foreign workingmen free admission to our Navy yards, and allow them to carry back to their homes knowledge that may be used against us. National Tribune. It Waa Cot. Steven. I saw a statement in print recently that CoL DePnyster of New York was the officer who raised the Union flag on the capital at Richmond on the oc casion of its occupation during the late civil war by the Union army. The flag was first raised over the capital by Col. Stevens, a. Western military officer."' Col. DePuyster and Col. L. L. Lang don of the regular army artillery serv ice went together to the dome of the capital and found the flag already raised there by Col. Stevens. They hauled it down together and sent up the flag which has given CoL DePayster the reputation of having raised the first flag over that structure. New York Press. A New Swindling Schema. A gang of sharpers are having suc cess in'a swindling game in the interior towns of West Virginia. A well-dressed man puts in an appearance at a country store, and informs the proprietor that he is searching for rare coins, giving a list of specimens and their alleged value. He asks the storekeeper to keep a sharp lookout, and in case he gets any of the coins mentioned in the al leged list, to keep them until he re turns, which he says will be in a short time. Soon another stranger casually drops in and buys some little article, and, in making change, exhibits sev eral coins which, he says, are pocket pieces. The proprietor consults his list and finds the value of the alleged pocket piece put down at $40 or $50 each. Anxious to make' a good thing, the storekeeper usually pays a good big price for,the pieces. JIe,then waits for the man who made the teasptiag osTers, but he never turns up. -" . 8TATEJEW8. EMASKA MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. Miss Lillle Crawford. Clara mad Amelia Mohl of West Point war thrown from a buggy while crossing the railroad track and severely ia-iured- A very important land transfer was made at Niobrara last week. Prof. Sunderlin of Floyd county, Iowa, and Dr. Pinney of Niobrara have purchased forty acres of W. M. Barnum, imms diately adjoining the town on the north, which they will lay out into residence and business lots and donate a block to the county for a court house. A colony of twenty-five farmers and business men from Creighton have left for Alberta Province, Canada. This is a section traversed by the Ca nadian Pacific and lies north of Mon tana. Their goinsr from a countv like Knox to that far-away region of polar oears sua aurora Doreaiises is pre sumptive evidence of their insanity. During the school year just closed over seven thousand books were placed in the hands of pupils in the Fremont city schools, under the free text book system. At the close of the year it was found that there were only twenty five books not accounted for, which is considered a remarkable good show ing, considering that this was the first yeaa's experience with the system. Sir Alban. a trotting horse with a record of 2:20, was presented to State Treasurer Hill last week by a local clothing dealer in Lincoln who has had a big jar full of beans on exhibition for the. past two years. Captain Hill dropped into the store one morning and suggested that in his judgment the jar contained 17,681 beans. Last week the beans were counted and there were just 17. 681. The Fourth of July celebration commenced at Butte Sunday morning and ended Tuesday evening. Fuliy 3, 500 people were present It was the general opinion that the celebration was the grandest ever heald in the northwest. Swift Bear and his band of Indians were present, also a crowd of Yanktons and Lower Brules and de lighted the people with dances, races, etc. Jarvis Richards of Chadron has con tracted to deliver 2. 500 head of stock cattle at Pine Ridge agency. They will be brought from Wyoming early this month. W. W. Wood of Rush ville has been appointed by the gov ernment as inspector of these cattle. John Howard and wife arrived in Sidney last week with their wheelbar row and cooking utensils with which ihey are making a tour across the country from Seattle, Wash., to Chi cago.

His report to the state board was not considered in proper form and a lengthy discussion followed. When he presented a bill of $112 for help there was another squab ble, Auditor Benton insisting that Mr. Taylor should obey a former resolu tion which was to the effect that no help should be employed. G. L. Kiser was shot in Alma the other day by Alfred Calkins. Both parties were bands belonging to Tay lor's circus. The ball struck just be low the left eye and death followed almost instantly. When Calkins play fully drew the revolver he thought it was not loaded. It was purely acci dental, but the coroner's jury returned a verdict of criminal negligence and Calkins was put under arrest charged with murder in the first degree. The Union Pacific is making ar rangements for carrying a shipment of California fruit en route to Europe, Heretofore the California growers have been barred from the London and Paris markets on account of the distance and the heavy cost of trans portation. They are now making up a consignment of five cars that will go through from San Francisco to New York in seven days, and thence by fast boat across the Atlantic. Ex-President J. H. Powers of the national and Nebraska alliance was robbed of $30 in money and a $90 draft in Omaha. The thief entered the room at the Hotel Richelieu on North Thir teenth street some time between 3 a. m. and morning and went through the alliance oRicial's pockets. Mr. Pow er's son-in-law, Alva Tompkins of Hastings, who occupied the same room, was also robbed. Mr. Tompkins lost about $30 and a return ticket At Beatrice the other morning the old International bank was discovered on fire. A strong south wind was blow ing at-the time, and although 100 willing men were on the grounds in a few minutes the Howell hardware store was on fire. In the mean time ev erything had been carried from the buildings. It was only by hard and diligent work that the Brewster block was saved, as the wind was driving the wind directly over the building. The loss is $1,000, insurance $700. The citizens of Wakefield have voted $7, 000 in bonds with which to erect a system of water works. The election carried in favor of the bonds almost without the least opposition. A number of the enterprising citizens have advocated a system of water works for several years, but were un able to bring it up to a vote until last week. Considerable improvement will now be at once undertaken, which has been held back until being assured of fire protection and water supplies. Five thousand people crowded the streets of Fairmont on July 4th. .The parade, in which every business and profession in the city was represented, was-the feature of the day, and was pronounced by all to be the finest dis play ever seen in Fillmore county. The procession, headed by two cornet bands, marched to the park, where the usual Fourth of July program was ren dered. In the afternoon the crowd thronged the fair grounds5 where they witnessed the horse races and ball game. The board of managers of .the state fair association held a business meeting last week in Lincoln . and it was decided to set apart a day during the fair" for each of the political par ties.

A reduced distributing rate has just been secured by the secretaries of the late board of transportation. For years there has .been a great many thousand barrels of apples frown and shipped annually in Southeast Nei brass but recently complaints have been made to the effect that transport tatioa rates were to high. The secre taries investigated and a new tariff sheet has been issued by the railroad which makes the rate from Falls City to Kearney by way of Omaha, a dis tance of S02 miles, oniy-19 cents, as compared with a 20 cent rate in Iowa for the same distance on class A roads. ijl'hhv.distributiag rate is in sTeet' ea the Missouri Pacific in conn i with the Union Pacific. The fourteenth annual reunion of the Grand Army of the ltepulic. de partment of Nebraska, will be held at Camp Sheridan, Grand Island, begin ning Monday, August 29, and closing Saturday, September 3, 1892. All old soldiers, Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Veterans, members of the Woman's Relief Corps and their friends are most cordially invited to attend, and are assured a royal good time.' It is the intention of the committee, acting upon the request of the department encampment, to make it more distinc tively a veterans reunion than any of its predecessors, affording more ample opportunity for renewing old acqualn. lances and talking over old times, and the program has been arranged with that end in vie FUNNY DECOYS. Pup Seals aad .Other Counterfeits Made ' Oat or Wood, la Alaska. Shut up in a drawer at the National museum, where nobody has the privi lege of seeing them, is a curious col lection of decoys. Perhaps the funni est among them is a pup seal, about a foot and a hajf long, quite artistically carved out of wood. Its little paws are folded across its chest, and it is in tended to float on its back upon the water. Just as the animal it repre sents does in real life. However, it is not meant as a decoy for mother seals, as may be imagined, but as a float for tying a fishing line to. Fishes recog nizing the innocence of pup seals in general, are not likely to suspect that one would dangle a hook and line to catch them. This is an Alaskan decoy, of course. The natives of that region employ decoy ducks made of wood in a similar fashion not to attract real ducks within reach of arrows or bul lets, but as floats merely. To the floats, set a-swimming in the rivers, lines are attached, with hook and bait for salmon. No' ordinarily wise sal mon would be afraid of a duck. So these fishes bite eagerly at the lures suspended from the counterfeit birds in the water and are caught Another very queer decoy in the drawer is a fish, cut out of wood and painted white. No label states, unfortunately, precisely how it is employed, although it is certain that it is a counterfeit in tended to attract some big fishes. Big salmon could swallow prey of such a size, and it may be designed as bait for them. Think, however, of the disgust which would be felt by any scaly ogre at finding that he had taken in a wooden fish one foot long! A WONDERFUL INVENTION. As Good as Glass, Yet Can Be Used for Driving Belts. An inventor in Vienna has produced a new material that combines some of the properties of glass and celluloid. It is made by dissolving f".ir to eight parts of collodion wool (.run cotton) in about 100 parts by weigL; of ether or alcohol, adding 2 or 3 per cent of cas tor oil and 4 to 10 per cent of resin or Canadian balsam. The mixture is then dried on a glass plate at a tem perature of 120 degrees, Fahr. The compound soon solidifies into a transparent sheet having substantial ly the properties of glass. It resists the action of salts, alkalies and dilute acids, and is flexible, says the Phila delphia Record. The addition of magnesium chloride reduces its inflammability and zinc white gives it the appearance of ivory. By increasing the relative proportions of castor oil and resin the toughness and pliability of leather is imparted to the material, and it may even be made into driving belts. Do Married Folks Look Alike. Whether you I'emember it just now or not, at some time, I doubt not you have read long articles or short items on the curious theory advanced by some psychologists .that married couples finally come to resemble each other. Some argue that it is because they are exposed to the same condi tions in life; others go further and say that the influences of minds react up on each other, which, in the case of man and wife, brings about a facial resemblance after years of close con tact The Photographic Society of Geneva, Switzerland, with a view to determining the truth oi falsity of this psychological oddity, made, during 1891, photographs of neventy-eight couples. These were examined by ex perts in physiognomy, who decided that in twenty-four of the seventy eight cases the facial resemblance of husband and wife was greater than that of brother and sister; in thirty cases it was equally as great, and in only twenty-four cases was there a total absence of resemblance. The Mace. Like the British house of commons, the lower house of the United States congress at Washington possesses a symbol of its authority in the form of a mace. It looks like the fasces which, were borne Ly the lictors before the Roman tribunes and counsels, and con sists of a bundle of thirteen ebony rods entwined and bound together with silver bands. The thirteen ebony sticks represent the thirteen original states of the union. They are sur mounted by a globe of silver, upon which the hemispheres are traced, while a silver eagle with outstretched wings is perched upon the summit of the globe. It was made in 1834,weigfas tweaty pounds, aad is intrusted to Bmac&Ae.Br B9s1 The Boaaet Bin. The day is done, the gloaming hour For lovers' trysts is near.

The fairest Scotland knew? She wedded ere the blush of morn Her dear loved Bonnet Blue! Cravxn Langstboth Bms A Few Little Points. As a people, we Americans have been laughed at for eating too fast, and we are credited with beinjr a nation of 'lyspeptics. Now, of course, this is generalizing, but you, the eldest daughter, have it in your power to mak: the hour at the dinner or tea table one of real delight It is an easy 'matter, you will find, to start some pleasant topic, to get your father and brother interested in the talk of the day, so that you all will eat your food more slowly, and you will achieve what the Frenchmen consider the great art you will dine, not merely feed yourself. But there are a few little questions about the etiquette of the table that some girl wants to know, and these I am going to tell her. She must hold her knife by its haiu.le, and never let her fingers reach up to its blade. Whenever it is possible, a fork must be used in place of a spoon, and that same spoon, by the by, must never be left :n a coffee or tea cup, but laid to rest po litely and securely in the saucer. Glasses with handles are held by them. A goblet should be caught-by the stem, the fingers not entwining the bowl part Don't butter a -large piece of bread and take bites from it; instead, break your bread in small pieces, one at a time, and butter it that is, if you are eating butter, and convey it to your mouth by your fingers. Olives, celery, radishes, strawberries with stems, and asparagus arc all eaten from the fingers. The old method of eating cheese with a knife has been given up, a fork being used in its place. The use of many small dishes for vegetables is not in good taste; in deed, many vegetables should not be served at one time. Put Yonraeir la Her riace. Not long ago a bright, pretty, healthy girl said: "She is always sick, and it tries everybody so." I looked at her and thought, "I wonder if you knew what yon were saying, if you would ever repeat those words.' It may be taken for granted that to have somebody always sick in a household is not pleasant; that it does cast -a gloom over it and that it docs make the younger members of the family feel that there is a constraint put upon them. But put yourself in the place of the woman who is always sick. Put yourself in the place of the woman who never knows from one day to an other whether she is gciug to be happy in God Almighty's sunshine, or weather she is going to be in a close, dark room, with her heart beating as if it were a cold sounding-bell that told her how little of life she had, and how soon it would go. Think of wak ing up in the middle of the night with yonr head burning and throbbing, and your body perfectly cold, and having to lie quite still with the knowledge that there will be no help for you until morning. Think of knowing that everybody else is having a good and merry time, but that you are entirely out of it all, not because you are ill that day, but because the doctor thinks you are not quite well enough to risk it Now this is wretched enough when it comes to a woman who has had most of the pleasures of life, but suppose it comes to a girl of 19. Don't you suppose that because of her very illness her nerves are so much more delicate that every pleasure that she does not get seems greater thatTit really is, while every sorrow that comes to her is intensified. Oar Little Qaeeraassa. You have them and I have them. It may be it is only a way of speaking, a way. of looking, or some little manner isms that offend. Of course, we do not realize the effect produced by what we call "our way." but that doesn't excuse it Think out how you look when you tell something disagreeable and which is unnecessary and uncalled for. Think out if you don't try the patience of evea your most intimate friends with a continued history of your ways and weaknesses, and whether after awhile it does not really take the form of nag ging. Ah, my dear girl, even from people we love, nagging is something very difficult to bear. A great sin is sooner forgotten than these con tinual little annoyances; and t is one of "your ways" that does not excuse it It may not be "your way" to speak the kind word, or the tender word, or to do the considerate act But do you think you are excised be cause of the reason you. give? Don't you think your ways and lilt'e qucer nesses are just as wrong as the greater sias of the people who have greater temptations? Yours seem as nothing to you, but when everything is put dwpipbUc aad while, aad is to. he decided by the great judge, the advan tages that have been yours and those that have been your neighbor's will be thought of, and jou will be judged, not according to what 'you might have done; not according to the sins you did not commit, but according to the ones that you have committed and the vir tues which you haye omitted. RoelwUnU of the Golden Rose. The Order of the Golden Rose, with which the pope has decorated .Queen Amelie of Portugal for her good deeds, has been bestowed on one or more of the female members of nearly all the catholic reigning houses. Among those now living who have been thus hon ored by his holiness are ex-Queen Isa bella of Spain, who received the rose only a few weeks prior to the loss of her throne; the present queen-regent of Spain; the empress of Austria; the queen mother of Bavaria; the ex-Empress Eageaie of France; the empress of Braafl'aathwqaeeae4aHaeay. Qaeea Plaof Portugal and Princess Clotailde, the wife of Prince Napoleon, would doubtless both have received the rose as a reward for their piety and devo tion to the church had it not been for the fact that they labored under the disadvantage of being the daughters of the late King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, who was excommunicated. Among the less well-known wearers of the golden rose are the Princess George of Saxony, wife of the heir-apparent to the throne and a member of the royal house of Braganza; the Duchess Adelgonde of Modena; Arch duchess Elizabeth of Austria and the Princess Blanche of Nemours. Queen Mercedes of Spain was also a possessor of the rose. The Virtu of PatUac. You are well and strong, and you don't think of the virtue of patience that might show itself in consideration for the one who is always sick. In the first place do not find it necessary to tell her every time you see her how dreadfully she is looking, but if she finds a certain pleasure 'in telling you of her worries and woes, listen to them with patience, while at the same time you do your best to change the subject to one which is proper, and which will be really better for her. If you live in the same house with an invalid, jarn that every time you slam a door it makes each nerve in her body quiver. Every time you speak loudly it causes her mental teeth to be set on edge, and every time you laugh in. your loud, startling way, you make her sufferings as much greater as if she had really undergone some th'ng in the way of blows. Take some of the sunshine of your life and give it to the one who is always sick. Do not allow yourself to believe that anybody finds pleasure in it or that anybody is in bed, or claiming to be in pain as I have heard cruel or thoughtless people say from mere laziness. Now, if in your life in any "way there comes a jchronic invalid, I want you, like the good girl yon are, to practice on her the virtue of patience, aud be sure blessings will come to you. Princes Alargaretheaaa Political Factor. In the royal international game the Princess Margarethe, as the Germans spell it, is the winning card Emperor William holds in his hand. Accordingly as the other sovereigns reveal their hand's this young lady, his sister, is to be played. With the crown prince of Roumania he can play her against Rus sia, or with the Czarowitz if France has the odds. There is the Grand Duke of Hesse if he desires to vex his grand mother, and if he would just as leava break and pay there Is the young Princo of Naples. All Female Operators. At Uyderbad, India, a photographic studio has been opened in which the operators arc all women. The Koran forbids the making of portraits, but the muftis have declared that photo graphy cannot be included in the pro hibition, since the prophet knew noth ing about it Notes.

Miss Pauline Margolies. a refugee from Moscow, recently gave a talk on "The Persecutions of the Jews in Rus sia" in the music-room of Postmaster General and Mrs. Wanamaker. Miss Mattie Walker it assessor of Mackford, Green Lake County, Wis. The town has many residents of large wealth, which makes the choice of a woman for this responsible office the more remarkable. The Average Woman. " The average woman can now be ex pressed in figures, so far at least as her physical qualities are concerned. She weighs one hundred and seventeen pounds and is five feet three inches high, if she is an American. If fhe is French she is only five feet one inch tall, and if she is English she is the tallest of the three. These statistics have been obtained by measurements of over a thousand women in their stockings by the French academy; of over seven hundred women by Dr. Francis Gal ton, in England; and of nearly two thousand women by Dr. Sargeant of Cambridge. American women, it is snid, weigh slightly more than either French or finlish women. This is a sui-ment difficult of belief. Kvery lack m VuekTeaa. Fiwt Duke Why don' t you travel incognito, as I do?
