"Yes, Indeed, suh." courteously re- spoinds the visitor.

Other backslidlngs are smoking sad eattngs chapel, the former being a pirtUeuirly hefaoua crime. Boys below thb fifth form are attended to by the lower master, oephemistichl- ly known as "the flea." who has more or less complete authority over Me rower ehool; the "uppers," or eniors, are looked after by the headmaster In person. In either case the proceedings do not differ materially. On the day of execution a praepos- tor comes around to the victim's classroom and asks if "So-and-So Is In this division?" On the master In charge answering "Yes" the praepos- tor calls out, "Headmaster wishes to see him after 12." There is an ominous pause as these dread words are uttered. The master in charge smiles grimly, the victim looks sheepish and turns white the other boys exchange sig- niflcant glances. Twelve o'clock booms out all too soon. As the class clatters out down the stairs the victim's friends clus- ter. round hka and overwhelm him' with hints and tit-bits of informa- tion.

Arrived at the execution chambeIr, he is confronted with the two prat- posters whose duty It Is to "hd1 down," an office which is generally rather a sinecure, though occasion- ally boys have been known to strug- gle furiously. The headmaster now appears, and in solemn accents say%, *"Kneel there, boy," Indicating the block as he speaks. Over the dext few seconds one may draw a veil-enough to say t~at in the majority of cases three or four strokes are held to be sufficient. A Delicate Hint.

The true value of such a chart can only be appreciated by the wasterts of deep draft vessels. The land-lub- ber would presume that the charting of &,o many shoals would impair the value of the harbor, but It does not. If the mariner Is satisfied that the chart Is correct he can very easily steer clear of charted shoals. Lived 152 Years.

The bill provides for a depositor's guaranty fund. A bill providing for a state plant to do all the state printing was de- feated. The house also voted against re considering the bill providing for coun- ty uniformity of school text books. The bill was recently defeated in the house. The Western Union Telograph Com- pany's files of Tallahassee office are to be Investigated by a special com- mittee of the house of representatives. Representative Hardee, who introduc- ed this resolution, stated that, as measures concerning this company were pending, he wanted the house to know if certain members were send- Ing messages free of charge. Revision of pension passed t(he house of representatives by a vote of 41 to 16 against, thus, by the Newton bill, many who have been receiving pensions will be cut off.

The anarchist body ih London con- sists chiefly of foreign artisans, em- ployed for the most part as cabinet- makers, tailors, ele<(triclans. shoe- makers and waiters. These men as a rule are in receipt of good wages S sand contribute freely to the cause 7Ieir clubs meet In Soho. liammer' smith, Tottenhan,m in the INst End of London and some other phrccs. Their numbers In London may b.- estimated at from 700oo to 1,000, but it is, of course. difficult to calculate th,, numbers of an organization which is of such a nebulous and shifting char- acter. Nor is it suiggeited that among this number can be found many to un- dertake the active and dangerous task of committing outrage; on society. Nevertheless, at appropriate times the money and cnen are always forthcom- ing, in anarohist Ircles. As to 1he money, it must not hi, forgotten that the proceeds of buirglarles and hign- way robberies have always been wel- comed as supplies for the anarchipt way chest. This doctrine has been frequently declared, and a notorious discipline of this school was the anar- chist burglaurPena. who successfully committed a long series of burglaries in Paris in the early '90s before be- ing arrested and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. It was known to the whole anar- chist body in Paris that Pena com- mitted these burglaries, but the fact that contributed freely from thp. proceeds of bhi crimes to the funds of the movement e(tusd his secret to be kept, and instead of being look- ed upon as a criminal outlaw he was regarded as a hero. Furthermore, his example was followed by others. It will also be remembered that one of the- most cherished ideas of the Wal- sall anarchists was the use of chloro- form in the robbing of capitalists: in- deed. a, bottle of chloroform for this purposee was actually found in po-. session of one of the, prisoners. The propOeal was that men known to pos. sefe money or valuables should be followed into railway carriages or when going home at night, and chloro. formed and robbed. This may scene strange in this couin. try, but the device is mu(c employ- ed in robberies on the C'ontinent. The Lettish revolutionists In England chiefly residhle in Leytonstone, Totten- ham and the East End. They are well known for the method of terrorism they employ. Within the last two years these revolutionaries have been carrying on a campaignn of robbery in Russia similar to the recent outrage in Tottenham, the proceeds being de- voted to the funds of their party. In spite of much discussion an.! notwithstanding the numerous out- rages which have been conmittel practically nothing has been done hby the police authorities of Europe In the direction of combined action for the prevention of anarchist crimes Tibe police conference In ItHome con- tributed little to the solution of the problem of mutual assistance. which Indeed seems little likely to be solv- hla this country the police keep in toutth with the movement by patient , aBd lone continued surveillance.

EQUINOCTIAL' STORM. No One Special Disturbance When the Sun Crosses the Line. One of. the most popular notions years agb was that storms of ex- copptionnl severity were assoelat'1l with the autumnal and vernal equfn- oxeP. Iess faith in the notion has laen entertained since official weath- er bureaus have been established. I1 isa now possible to make more trust- worthy records of wind force and rain. fall than formerly. and to compare them with different dates. Such t comparison shows that storms are more violent and,frequent In winter than summer (except for summer squalls, which are not widespread). In a somewhat irregular fashion the number diminishes from the cold season to the watna mnd Increases from the warm season to the cold. There Is no sharply dividing-line be- tween them, nor is there any one disturbance of exceptional force with- in a few days of either equinox. Examination of the daily charts of the weather bureau, which show the air pressure, temperature, precipita- tion and wind force at a great num- ber of stations, brings out some curl ous facts. Areas qf low pressure, or storm centres, have certain pa:hsh which they generally follow, and there is an average speed at which they more. Every now and th#n however a storm unexpectedly alters its route and affects a region which might have been expected to escape. Another freak la to hasten along faster than was ex- pect*e or to retard its movement, as itf ran up against some allieen obstacle. Perhaps the pressure .it the centre will fall rather abruptly, and cau.e winds of greater force than could have been safely predicted the day before. Some day it will prob- ably be possible to understand those puzzling performances better than can be (lone now, but they cannot be connectedd with any special late like the equinox. A striking instance of thbe kind was afforded early in the (,itrent month. The blizzard whicli prevailed on iniauguretlon day In th Atlantic States was a surprise to theo weather bureau, and was highly ex- crptional in many days. It would not be safe to predict another one on the next March 4. The fact Is. there have been both balmy weather and heavy rain on different inauguration days, and the same thing can be said ro*. gardiirw March 21 and September 22. /I DEAD LETTERS IN GERMANY. Increase in the Quantity of Mall That is imperfectly Addressed. Germany has a high reputation for the thoroughness with which its pos- tal service is conducted, anT for the pains taken to return letters to writ- ers whose names and residence are imperfectly known, but the troubles of the government are steadily 'iu- creasing. In the course of a single day the average number of letters, Iapers and packages which go to the dead letter office now averages ten thousand. For more than half (52 per cent) It is Impossible to decide what to do. In Il75 the proportion which experts could not find a wgy to de- liver was a trifle more than one*ftib.

Pose as a Lady's Mald to Make Ao. quaintance of a Baronees. *A St. Petersburg paper publishes details of a Russian romance In with figures the wealthy and -beautiful young Baroness ITrusoff, the widow of a distinguished Russian government official. All the young cavaliers of Moseow were hopelessly In love with her. The baroness, however, rejected all attempts to obtain an Introduction to her and lived in perfect seclusion, at* tended only by an elderly relative. Some months ago a young peasant girl began to visit the residence of the baroness, offering the servants cheap arthles for sale. Subsequently the baroness used to buy different articles from the peasant, who was intelligent. had good mDners and considerable conversational talents. The baroness eventually asked the girl whether she would enter her Fjr- vice as a lady's maid. She agreed and discharged -her duties to perfec- tion for a fortnight and *thea re- vealed "herself" as a young Russian nobleman named Maximoff, who, tak- Ing advantage of his fair hair and complexion, had masqueraded as a domestic servant to break down the barriers with which the beautiful baroness -had surrounded herself. The baroness was so much Im. pressed by his extraordinary persever- ance that she became engaged to him, and the marriage took place a few Shoes in Four Minutes. * TTow long would it take you to make a pair of boota. do you think? You probably had better not. begin It, especially if you need them bon. Even'a cobbler in the old. days, work- ing with his assistant, would spend a day and a half making a pair of boots, and the cost would be about $4. But now,. of course, shoes are made by. machinery, and it is aston- Ishing to hear how quickly they are made. It takes just four minutes to make a pair of boots. And the labor -cos.t is about .."7 cents. Of course, no one makes the whole boot nowadays. There are At hundred different men making different partly of it, and each one dcs the same thing over and over again, and each man learns to do his particular work especially well and quickly. And you should see the, buttons sewed on!

According ito a dispatch from Bosa ton. professor Percival Lpwell mad) the announcement one'day last month that-o'there is a possibility that our sun will collide with a dark star." "Such an even would mean a general upheaval of conditions on this plan. et," said Professor Iowell, "and it any inhabitants survived the disaster night -and day would be about the only features of the present order of thhigs that would be recognizable. The orbit of the earth would be changed, the seasons would no longer, follow in their order, and what the climate would be no one can guess." Of course, the chance that such #. collision will otcur is so small that there is no reason to think of it asn a alarming possibility. Still, the remark is based on two well known facts. One is that the sun, together with Its family of planets, is moving swiftly and steadily through Ppace, The oth- er is that there are such things as. dark stars-suns which have radiate ' so much of their heat as to be na longer luminous. There Is no way Of ascertaining how many there are, but - Simon Newcomb, a leading astronoml- cal authority, thinks it not altogeth- er unlikely that the dark stats are more numerous than the bright ones. A complete celestial census has never been taken, but from counting the bright stars in a-very small area it ha* been estimated that their number does not fall short of one hundred million! The diameter of the sun is comput- ed at about seven-eighths of a million miles--upward of 860,000. The stars are all-suns, big or little. The great central orb of our solar system In- calculably enormous ase t is, rates an - a second class star. However, If It should hit another star, visible or in- visible, a 'tremendous disturbance would be caused among the planets. Hence there is comfort in the asaur- ance that the chance is too small to worry about.-New York Tribune. .Gamblers on a west-bound Atisau liner fleeced passengers out of $4,000, This news suggests the Chicag News, will cause European hotel keep era toturn green with regret 4 a 4/ * ;* '- ' .h'f *. *-.

THINK HARD It Pays to Think About Food. The unthinking life some people lead often causes trouble and sick- ness, illustrated in the experience of a lady In Fond Du Lac, Wis.

This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I covrd not walk up a flight of stairs without sitting down once or twice to regain breath and strength. "I became alarmed and tried diet- ing, wore my clothes very loose, and many otner remedies, L&t found no relief. "Hearing of the virtues of Grape- Nuts and Postumr, I coninwnnced using them in place of my usual Ibreakftst of coffee, cakes, or hot is'mit, and in bne week's time I was relieved of sour stomach and other ills attending Indigestion.

As it is, we get tte MeOlgh of "dead theats of two." but the sto a spice of romance about a "dead heat of three." At York In 1896 for the dminton Plate three horses passedlhe poet looked together. They were *Mesla, Badardo and Casse Co&. ridden reI spectively by M. Oannon, T. Loates and S. loates. A third.Lo|tes was fourth on Hamptendale, and he was beaten only a short hed by the lead- Ing trio. In )880 at the Lewes aimner meet- Ing Scobell, Wandering Nun aid Mas surnka ran a dead heat for the Ast. ley Stakes. Only a head bealad the truagling trio oasae Thora and Camw berland. also running a dead beat, and placed fourth by the Judge. Some good judges who saw thme race, says Belly's Malasine, declare that if It had -been called *- "dead beat of five" no one would have cavilled at the ofmcial verdict. In 1845 on the Thursday of th6 Newnmarket Houghton meeting two .'dead hearts of three" occurred lan the same afternoon. In 1882 there was a dead beat of three in a field of five for the .race called the Sandown Derby, but after- ward -known as the Electric Stakes. run over the stral bht five furlong course at Sandown Park. The dead heaters were R. 8. Evans's ,Marden (R. Wyatt), P. Lorillard's Gerald (F. Wehb) and the Duke of Hamal- ton's Leonora (J. Watts). In the runoff Marden, who in the meantime had had his plates removed and ran unshod, won by three lengths, a head only separating second and third. The most notable dead beat of three was the finlsb for the Cesare. *witch In 1867 between El filakm, Prioress (an4inerican entry) and Queen Bess. There were thirty-four runners, and the starting prices of the dead heaters were 8-to 1 El Hak- Im, 30 to 1 Prioress and Queen BesS. In the decider, which was run off in the waning light, George Fordhbm was substituted for Tankesley ba Priorete and, Bray for Little on I.1 Hakim. The change of jockeys ap. pears to -have worked to some advan- tage 'In the case of the American mare. for she won the decider by a length and a hatf, a head separating the other two. Once there was a dead heat of four at Newmarket in a sweepstakes for two-year-olds, run over the first half of the Abingdon mile. This wai at the Houghton meeting in 1856. Five started and the race resulted In a dead heat of four, the flfth horse being only ,beaten half a length. The decider was won by a head, half a length separating second and third. Tiny Wells rode the winner, the orlg- nal favorite, a chestnut filly called Overreach, by Birdcatoher. It Depended. To Illustrate the different low- points of manufacturers upon the ques. tion of tariff revision, Charles Heber Clark, a writer upon economic sub- jects, but better known as a humorist under the pen name of "Ms Adeler," recently told this story to a gatherag of Philadelphia mnsnufecturere: "There Is a farmer neighbor of mine In Montgomery County who was the owner of a very good Alderney cow.

He disliked strangers. and would disappear for some time If any visited at his mas. ter's house. Teddy was obliged to do a trick before eating. When a plate of meat was held above his head he would sit up on his hind feet like a dog. Sad scratch his ear with his paw. When my uncle came up the walk toward the house Teddy would run to meet him, and roll over and over at hIs feet. He dearly loved raw corn, and would come running into the garden tf he heard anyone husking corn or tearing the ears from the stalk. When Teddy died he was mourned as for an only child by his master and mistress.--Marion Parker. In the New York Tribune. A COMPOSrTIOY ON HENS. ' A little Kaneas boy wrote this com. position on hens: "Hens Is curious an.i- mals. They don't have no nose. nor no teeth, nor no ears. The outside of hens is generally put into pillars and feather dusters. The inside of a hen Ia sometimes filled up with marbles and shirt button and sich. A hen In very much smaller than a good many other animals but they will dig up more tomato plants than any thing that ain't a hen. Hens is very use- ful to lay eggs for plum pudding. I like plum pudding. Skinny Bates eat so much 'plunm pudding once that it set him Into the collery. Hens has got two wings and can fly when they are sort. I cut my Uncle William's hen's rgck off with a hatchet and it scart hir to death. Hens sometimes make iery flne spring chickens."- Succetas.ul Farming. L4SI, TO SEE THE STORK. Little Freddie was told by the nurse ope morning that the stork had visited the house during the night and left him a little baby sister, and ask- ed itf li would like to see her. "I ocntt care nothing about the baby." vaid Freddie, "but I'd like to see the stork."--Bee Hive. pretty But Useless. When old Perkins left the house In which he had lived for forty years, and arrived with all his household goods and treasures at the home of his son, there was trouble. One of his most treasured family heirlooms was missing--a big family album bound in full calf. Perkins was inconsolable. "I've used it regular for years." he said, "and I wouldn't 'ave lost it for worlds." "Never mind," said his son. "we'll see what can be done about It." And from that day he commenced having up his money until he had sufficient to buy a new album, beau- tifully bound in crimson plush, with great brass clasps, which he present- ed to his father, naturally expecting an outburst of thanks. But no. On seeing it the old man's Jaw fell to an alarming degree. Then he bang- ed his withered fiat on the table with a force that simply staggered young Perkins. "In the name of goodness, man," he roared, "who could strop a razor on that?"-Tit-Bits. me For the People of Palatka and Adjoining Country.
