“Many Iowa people,” savs the Iowa

Amy Levy, the young English Jewess
V and whose
and gifted author poet, nov¬
el, “Reuben Sacks,” was thought to
be the important one of the year in
Loudon, is dead, at the early age of

The Japanese estimates for the cur¬
rent financial year show a total revenue
of $76 600 000, and an expenditure of
$76. 596,000. The Ian 1 tax is estima¬
ted to yield $42,248-900, the income
tax $1,053,500. the tax on rice beer
brew ing $14.497,400.
Dr. Ogle, an eminent statistician,
says that the movement from the coun¬
try to the towns is all right. It is only
the surplus population. Enough peo¬
ple to profitab.y till tho land will al¬
ways remain in the country. Rut, in¬
quires the Chicago 'limit, how about
the surplus population of the towns?
According to the Calcutta correspon¬
dent of the London Timet, a herd of
100 wild elephants has been captured in
Mysore, India. The same correspondent
states that there were 6000 deaths from
snake-bites in the Northwest province
last year. In Madras 10,090 cattle were
killed by wild animal*, and the loss of
human life by snakes aud wild animals
was 1642.
The development of tho Russian mer¬
chant navy in tho Black Sen is being
pushed forward with much energy, and
the navy will shortly he increase 1 by
the addition of a largo steamer of 4,000
tons from Sweden, for the petroleum
traffic to India, and of two stcameri
built in E tgland at a cost of $309,000
each. A duty of $50,000 will have to
be paid for each of these steamers.
News collies from the 0 ty of Mexico
that the American tramp lias invaded
tbo land of Montezuma and President
Diaz, and that the latter has ordere 1
these peripatetic citizens of the greater
Republic to be caught wherev. r found
and put to work cleaning streets. Tb.u
St. Louis . s f«r- SauS'tji ‘Dunks “wc may
soon look 'ior their exodus from Mexico
to their erstwhile fields of idlene>s in
America."
Recently publisued statistic-1 show
that the three countries iu Europe in
which the population increase 1 at the
most rapid rate are Sweden, Denmark
and Germany. In tho two first-named
the birth rate exoeods tho deaths bv 11
per cent, annually, and in Germany the
increase is over 10 per cent. In Eng¬
land, Russia and Holland the increase
is over 9 per cent. In Norway and Bel¬
gium 8 per rent., in Austria and Italy
7percent., and Switzerland 6 per cent.
In France alone the population remains
almost stationary, tho increase being
only just over 2 per cent.
For some time past there has beon
considerable dissatisfaction felt and ox
presse l by tho other nations of this
hemisphere at the tacit accordance by
the whole world ol the title “Ameri¬
ca ’ to the Unite 1 States. A citizen of
Mexico when in Europe is not spoken
of or regarded as an American; he is
always a Mexican. A Canadian is not
an American, or a Brazilian anything
else than a Brazilian; in fact, resident*
of the Unite l States are tho only
recognized Americans. Under the cir
cumsiances would it not bo a good idea,
suggests an exchange, for the coming
congress to devote sum: attention to the
subject? “Perhapi tho assembled na¬
tions might agree to call tho western
lumphisphero Columbia, and leave to
tho United States tho name America.
AVc have already practically u-mrpe 1 it;
why not give us a full right to uso it?
and perhapi one of these days we may
be able to rid ourselves of the cum tier
some title of tho United States of
America and subslituie for it the
shorter and more striking name of
America.' ’
While several nations are now block¬
ading a long stretch of African coasts
to keep slavos from getting out aud
firearms from getting in it is a little re¬
markable, the New York Sun considers,
that in some regions improved weapons
are pouring into inner Africa at the rate,
apparently with the connivance of the
very nations engaged in the blockade.
When the King of Mattabeleland re
ccutly consented to let white men dig
for gold in Ma-hona land, which i- now
talked of as the coming Eldorado, he
stipulated that 1000 breech-load ing
rifles and 100,000 cartridges must be
sent him. They have just passed
through British territory to the country
of the bloodthirsty Mitabele. With
their own rude weapons they have been
the scourge of South Africa, and it
now looks as though the British were
arming them, the more effectually to
wipe out all the surrounding tribes.
In spite of the blockade the trade in
guns and powder seems to go on with¬
out let or hindrance along the Zambes,
and n the Nyassa region where Portu¬
gal, to serve her own purposes, is send¬
ing the goods far and wide into th*
country.

TRAIN WRECKER CAUGHT
WHILE IN TITE ACT OF PLACING A DAN
GtliOCS OBSTRUCTION ON TIIE TRACK.
The Central pissenger train which left
Atlan a, Ga., bound for Macon, Wednes¬
day evening, narrowly e-i apcd a fo-rful
wrick. By the time the train rea -h d
Westview, near McPherson I a racks, the
engine was under good heauway. Tne
watchman who looks after the tracks
near Oakland was walking the tiack
when s-udd. niy he discovered a man
bi nding over the forvvaid tiack just ahead oi
t.im. He a epp- d and a k. u th
man what ho Was doing, when the laltcr
laiscd up and he recognized him as Dick
Lath-m, a negro w. II known in Atlanta.
Glai eing at the track, the watchman
saw a piece of railroad iron, curiously
bent, lying on the rail. The headlight
of the train flashe I full upon it. and he
*aw that it had been ted to the track
with wire, and lie tugged away at it,
getting it clear of the rail just as tin
wheels of the loc motive passed over ihe
wires that he did no; have time to dis u
tangle. By that time the negro had es¬
caped, but was captured later in the
night. The spot where the iron was tied
to the track is within fifty tards of th
■ >1 cc where the .anc t ain was wrecked
by a cross-tie placed on the track eom
wi eks ago, when three railroad men lost
their lives.
A POWERFUL ORDER.
THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY GOING To
HAVE THINGS THEIR OWN WAT.
A dispatch from Port Huron, Mich.,
*ays th ri not less than 75,000 Michigan
farmers have joined the Patrons of IIus
bandry since last May, and the number
is increasing e 'ery week. They threaten
to become a controlling power in 'he
politic* of the state, and then to spread
over the entire country. The pa'ro *
claim to have beeu forced into being by
monopolies and trusts, and they propo*e
to organize a combimriioti that will
strike terror to the hearts of their ene¬
mies. At present the patrons are devo¬
ting themselves exclusively to merchant*.
»nd in every town where they haves
fnoth dd they enter into an iron clad
contract witli oue dealt r in each line of
trade to purchase only from him, exact¬
ing a Diedge that they shall not be
chargeu to exceed twelve per cent ad¬
vance on wh'd'sde prices. The patron*
have lodges in forty seven counties, with
s uiembershio of more than 5,000.

How Turkish Kit 's are Made.
An exact reproluctioa of how Turk¬
ish rugs are m ide in the East is given
in a show window on Broadway, says
the N)W York Sun. A genuine Turk,
attired in a p irple tunic reaching to his
feet and tied about tho waist with a
gaudy sash, with his head encased in a
maroon fez, is giving the exhibition.
The loom on which ho works i, com¬
posed of two uprights of undressed
wood. Between these uprights at top
and bottom run two rollers at right an¬
gles. Over these rollers is strotche l a
network ot cor !. Two smaller sticks
are introduced between the interstices
of the neiw rk, one half wiy down and
the other a few inches above tho lower
roller, which serves to keep the network
taut and ids > act as a guide for the eye.
The operator sits, tailor-fashion, on a
Turkish rug and within his reach are
skeins of worsted of varioui col i rs.
Three or four strands about three inch¬
es long, are taken at a time. Toesc are
twisted about a singlo cord, tied an i
then cut off to make the requisi te length
of the fur of the rug. The next cord
is s.milarly treated, and so on, until tho
width of the rug is completed, Tno
wo: ker carrie, tho design in his hea l,
and produces Ins patterns by the uso of
different colored worsteds. Tile opera¬
tion is a very slow one, and a skilful
worker caunot accomplish more than
two inches on a rug of ordinary width
in a d.iy.
The spectacle is a most interesting
one, and large crow Is are continually
about the window watching tho rug

Night Sights in New Vork Street Cars.
Late at night one sees many curiouj
scenes in the street can, says a New
York correspondent of the Chicago
Herald. Coming from tho theatre the
other night I witnessed one that im¬
pressed me quite a bit. Tho car was
full of people returning from various
theatres. There was a pretty girl snug¬
gling up under the wing of her cs
cort; the prosaic married couple who
stared straight before them; an old
German decidedly tho worse for beer;
a girl with a tawdry, yellow wig au 1
a cheap cotton jersey, and rhine¬
stones in her ears. There entered tho
dirtiest, weariest, sa l-leri, oldeit-face l
little wretch of a newsboy, who of
fered his papers, No one heeded the
begrimed, entreating paw. He was
about to plunge off tho car when a
well-dressed man who looked if he
might have been dining out, criled the
child, and much to his amaze 1 awe,
bought liis entire stock. The little fel¬
low, who looked as Mosei miy when
the manna dropped from heaven, sprang
from the car and was lost iu the
darkness. The swell amused himself
by tearing the paper into bits and cast¬
ing them out into the night.
He Must Be In Love.
There is a man living in Hartford,
Conn., who deserves the prize for ab
sent-mindeduejs. A few days ago he
was having his loots blacked bv an
1 alian street bootblack. Just as the
job was finished and the gettlemaa had
picked out a nickel from his purse an
acquaintance steped up and began
talking. The gentleman abient-mind
ediy put the nickel in his pocket and
gave the purse to the bootblack, who
seized it and disappeared. The pur^e
contained $2.15. Since that time the
Italian has be n asked t > give it up but
refused. S . the gentleman had him ar¬
rested— Chicago ITrad.
