IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY Exhorts tiie Spirits of His Ancestors to Witmai How Ha Up'.icid3 the Family Dignity Means Taken to Avenge Insult Suicide's Head la Severed From the Cody.

A foot high platform about throo feet long by two foot broad b placd in preparation in the center of tho room, covered in white crepe, tind the kahanna (ordinary sword) of the master of the household is laid un sheathed upon the platform. Its point wrapped in a yellow lily. On each corner of thin platform is placed a small saucer filled , Hh renitod ell in which a wick !;? burning. The fam ily and friends of the noble who la to commit Filicide enter, led by tho priest, the Litter bfarlns in his hands B full blowing lotus flower, which hp depreita aor.a tiie sword lylns upon the platform, and tiie ppectators take ooatfl round the room. Finally the nobleman enters, dress ed in pure white garment, with yel low covered FC.irf encircling his body, and carrying In his hand a little saucer in which burns a wick lig' ted previously from the everla.stinsr light which is Kept burning In front of the family god. Behind him comes his eldest son, ii over five years of ng?; if not his nearest relative, carrying upon a platter made of sandal wood the wakizask!, a dagger like wor.;.nr., nine and a half inches long and obliquely cut on the left fid". Th blade of this lancet looking weapor Is wrapped in yellow crop", a lotv.p r.ov.' er being placed neon Its hilt. The sword generally Is a heirloom of the family and is considered the most valuable article in its noKs-rMMnii. It is the instrument with wh'eh hra Klri is always committed. Tho per . to commit the act kneela upon platform with his face toward tho '.h and the wakizaski placed before .-. The priest takes the lotnn flow : " from the Japanese sword and cut3 leaves in pieces, Ftrewing tho inie over the kneeling man. After tossing him in this manner the lirrhts in the corner saucers sre blown out by tho priest and the light car ried by the suicide is extinguished hy his son of nearest relntive. The time for the final act has come. The nobleman, after announcing in a solemn voice the Insult cnYre.l to him by his enemy, invokes the spirits of his ancestors to see !n what man ner he upholds the family honor in trusted to him at his birth. He rises upon his left knee, takes hold of tho wakizaskl with his left hand, lifts up his white robe with his right hand, wrapping the end of the yellow sash around his left wrist, and deliberate ly inserts the dagger like knife above the right hip bone. At tho moment he inserts the knife his next kin takes the kahanna (ordinary sword) and with a swift blow severs the head of the suicide from the trunk. Wireless Not a New Thing. The Idea that wireless telegraphy has originated and grown up during recent years is a popular fallacy. It was nearly a hundred years ago that the possibilites of aerial telegraphy were seen by scientists. In tho early half of the last century men of sci ence were busy with experiments by which they hoped to prove that mes sages could be conveyed from ono place to another without the use of wires. In those days there seemed to bo two ways which eeemed to show how this might be accomplished. One was knorn as "Induction." or the prop erty an electric impuh;? has of trans ferring itself from one place to anoth er. The other is "conduction," by which the conductive properties of the earth and water are turned to ac count for conveying electric forces. It was not until the end of the century thnt a third method, known as the ra-vtlon of tho eleel ro-magnetic waes through space, was discovered, and it is this method whic h Murcon! has successfully developed. The existence of these elect! -'.ir"-netie waves has been known e-ily Blnco 1888, and the discovery for mi a fascinating page in the history of scientific romances. A Mountain of Iron, A mountain which is baid to bo tho most remarkable in the world is sit uated in the state of Uuranyo, Mexico. It certainly has a claim to this repu tation, for it is two thousand fort high, about throe-quarters of a mile in thickness at tho base and is nl moBt solid iron. Naturally, Itf has be n the dream of iron inanufactSrers ever Biiice its discovery to lease tho moun tain and so work it. Hut this tho gov ernment has refitfaed to let them do till Quito recently, when a contn-c was signed between It and so, no New York capitalists for V.,i operation ami development of tli mountain on a parieenhlp basis. The ore obtain- I from this mountain Is said to yield about oighty-swen per cent pure iron. RUSSIAN BUREAUCRACY. Genuine Russian Worse Off Than His ' Fellow Subjects. That mischievous distinction ba tweeu variotu races subject to tho czr.r was, Russian putriots nov aillrin manifest even to tho most obtuse. But what most foreigners failed to per ceive was that the genuine Russian was even worse oft thr.u hlu fellow subject of Jewish, Armenian, relish or Finnish extraction. Indeed, tho orthodox elements of the population .were treated as a conquered race, ever hostile, ever dangerous. And they were accordingly shackled and kept under the ministry of the interior, which was often called the "ministry of war against natives." This is how Rucsiaus now describo their own con dition in tho past: They had no voice in governing the country, no right to tax themselves, no claim to control or to criticise tho administration, no authority to audit the slate accounts, no right to remon strate against measures fraught ruin to the masses, nor permission to worship Cod as their consciences dle tut"d. Liberty of public meetings, liberty of tho press, of speech, of re ligious thought displayed in worship, was absolutely suppressed. "With us," writes Vyazemskl, "everything ends in a prohibition or a command. When shall we be forbidden to be slaves and ordered to be reputable men?" And the consequence was that en terprise In trade, originally In thought, imagination in literature, sincerity In religion and reif-reliiince In everyday life were cfi.cn atrophied and some times wholly destroyed. Legislation was a straltjacket woven by the p.-iv-ikgod lew for tho purpose of cripples the Inarticulate millions. Hut even those laws were made or.'y ta he broken. There was hardly a preiciioo of applying them for the benefit of the people. Violated when involved against the privileged, social la; or?, they were stretched, twlstej and Intensified when employed to scourge the ninrses. Russian law eays: "No one shall be deprived of the rights of his status, nor shall any person be curtailed otherwihC than by a tribunal as punishment for n crime." Yet. since Prince Svyatorjoih Mlrski has become minister numbers of men, women and youths have been brrj-'.rht hack from exile or liborrtel frcm prions, among them lawyers, rhyslciarfl. Ptiulenta, officers, work men, peasnnts and sixty Ftrlpliniye not of age, who were deprived of their rights and liberties without trin!, without chaise, without crime, with out appeal.

Country people have a great con tempt for those who cannot tell what the weather is going to be till they have looked at their expensive barom eters or seen the weather Indications in the morning paper. They have so many simple ways o finding out what they wish to know about tho wcaUver and are so accustomed to doing this that they make the observations al most technically. Ask one of them how to do this and ho will give you a long list of simple weather gauges. For Instance, if you are a smoker, look at your cigar tip. If it. burns with a clear, red glow the day will be fine, but if it has a charred end that re fuses to burn brightly ta!9 out your umbrella. If a slipper creaks it is sure to lie fine; ir it is silent it will bo damp. In damp weather newspapers aro easily torn, gloves contract ami are difficult to put on, matches will not light easily, silk hats becorno dull, awning cords are tight, boot laces snap and a score of Inanimate things tell to the Initiated that there is rain to come. No Tips For F.eiish Guards. The guards of tho London, Tilbury and Southern Railway have received orders to refuse In future to accept tips from passengers. The position has been thrust upon the guards by the efforts of certain well-meaning philanthropists. Thr London-Tilbury trains between C and 8 o'clock in the evening are generally overcrowded, p.nd it often happens that twenty or thirty people travel In the guard's brake. It has become customary on ihese occasions for some one to pass around the hat for the benefit of the guard. Complaints have reached head quarters from time and the guards have been warned, but have pleaded their inability to prevent the collec tions undertaken on their behalf. The new order has occasioned deep dissat isfaction, as the collections have come to be regarded by the men as a recog nized part of their salaries. London Express. i I f , - v , f 3 M frltH Nearly All of Them Have Dis likes for Land Lubbers. ARE UNWELCOME GUESTS Difficult for Them to Secure Pas3age. One Must Furnish Certificate of Good Character and Be Willing to Pay Handsomely For the Privilege Rules to Ohssrve. Nearly every one has at somo time or other been seized with the desire to go to Boa on a sailing t;hip. Tho wish comes oftcnest lu tho summer vaca tion, when the bo called "sea birds" flit by the beaches tind stretches of country shore. Oi'tcner than not, tho pausion fades out of mind, but tliero are still enough people who hang to the notion, to cause captains of sail ing craft a good deal of trouble. The 1 fact is, most of them have a suppress ed horror of "hind lubbers" in general and the fact that they may have oc j caslonally carried pr.ssengera who I proved exceptions to the rule seldom ; softens their demeanor when a strans- er hteps up and asks If he can bo j taken along with the cargo, j It might be well here to restate a fact known to many that passengers are taken solely at the pleasuro of tho captain. The sailing agents, or the mate, or others, might recommend, but they would go no further, tend there have been frequent car.03 In which captains have turned down would-be sailors bringing letters frora th3 owners of the vessels in which the trip would have been made. Liv ing afloat and ashore develop dif ferent qualkdes in men, and so a cer tain Incompatibility springs up bo tween tho sea faring and land faring clnsses, until it often becomes an im penetrable will. Money, ns a rule, is not over plentiful among captains of the smnller vessels, ytt they fre quently refuse amounts of money for passage that would pay first class fares on the best steamers for cor responding ports. "I Just didn't take a notion to that rooster," is the rea son usually assigned. This, too, ia occasionally tho caso when there aro several spare staterooms or berths aboard. Sometimes the boot in on tho other foot and it Is the landsman who backs out. Get your trunk pocked a month ahead and put on hoard before all the cargo is extracted.

In the United blates 100,000,000 pounds of prunes are eaten yearly. IMor to 1SSG the supply tunic wholly from Franco and the Dauubiau prov inces and sold under the designation of "French" or "Turkish" prunes. In the year referred to prunes of Ameri can growth appeared on the market and with each succeeding year tho supply has increased until the impor tation of foreign fruit has been reduc ed to extremely small proportions. Much the larger portion of the prune supply is from the southern part oj California, where climatic peculiarities are extremely favorable for its produc tion. In Santa Clara county alone there are 3,700,000 trees growing on 37,000 acres, 100 to the acre. Tho quantity of prunes somewhat exceeds 110,000,000 pounds moro than enough for the requirements of tho whole country, but the excess, with that raised in other localities, is needed to supply the export demand from Great Ilrltaln, Germany and France. The first plum trees planted 40 years ago in California were shoots frora the "Petite" and "llpineuce" varieties from Franco. The original varieties have been greatly improved upon. After the planting, which is usually done in the rainy season, the shoots are cut down to a uniform height of about two feet. In the second year tho trees are pruned, from three to five branches being left, and aro again pruned in the third and fourth years. Twice during the spring and summer the soil is cultivated. In September tho fruit ripens and is gathered by ppreadlng sheets under the trees and shaking tho branches. Tho green fruit is taken to tho warehouse, whero it is graded in sie and passed through! a boiling hot liquid, in which process! it is cleaned and the outer skin soft-i ened. It is then spread out in trays) eight feet. In size and exposed to thJ heat of the sun for three to eight days,1 depending upon weather conditions. Ten thousand trays of fruit spread out in one unbroken tract may bo seen In Santa Clara- in the drying season. When sufficiently cured the prunes aro stored In separate bins and there aro allowed to "sweat," this process taking from ten to twenty days, when they aro ready for marketing.

Cast In a Spanish Foundry, It Had Many Adventures. Tho famous old bell of tho Roman Catholic Church in St. Joseph, Ta.o weil county, again "tolls the knoll of parting day" after being temporar ily silent, following tho trausfer from the old oil dice to tho new one recent ly dedicated. The bell has a remark able history and has had many own ers. For forty years It lias been the property of St. Joseph parish, ring ing out the hour of weddings, of masses and of funerals without dis tinction. The age of the bell has been variously estimated between 200 and 300 years. It Is but a trifle larger than the ordinary locomotive bell, but tho metal contains a certain iwr tlon of silver, which not only gives it a peculiarly bweot tono but also one of great strength, to that tho sound Is heard from one end of the tcvnsh'p to tho other. According to an Inscription upon the bell, It was cast in a foundry at Vallldodlld, Spain, early In the six teenth century. Tho bell was con veyed to Vera Cruz, Old Mexico, by monks, where it hung In the cathedral until the Mexican war In 1817. When Vera Cruz wns captured by the Unit ed States army, three young men of Company G, 4th Illinois Infantry, which was recruited in central Illinoiu captured tho bell and sent it home. After reaching l'ekln the bell was sold to the owner of the Fralrio Slate, an Illinois River steamboat, and was carried between l'eorla and St. Louis for five years, until, on April 15, 1S52, the Tialrie Slate, while racing with tho steamer Avalanche, blew up oppo site Pekln and went to tho bottom with heavy loss of life. The bell lay at the bottom of tho river for two years, when It was fished out, and tho finders sold it to tho Methodist congregation, who were about to ded icate a new church. From 1834 tho bell hung In the tower of that church until 1SG7, when the Catholic people of St. Joseph decided that the historic and Catholic associations of the bell were sufficiently important to war rant its restoration to that faith. They asked tho Methodists to set a price, and the latter denomination willing ly gave up tho bell for tho price of another, which was of less value from a historical standpoint.

Ono of the fantastic tricks which lightning plays upon its unfortunate victims is a kind of flashlight photog raphy. There are numerous instances of this which aro moro or less "auth enticated," but they seem almost loo wonderful to be believed. One of these is a young man in New Jersey who was struck by lightning and waa taken in an ambulance to tho hospi tal at once. There seemed to bo uo wound except a small mark ou tho back, but while the doctors and nurses wero examining him a picture began to develop ou tho skin. Soon before tho wondering eyes of tho watchers appeared a perfect picture of the figure of Christ nailed to the cross. Tho explanation Is that ou the wall opposite tho bed on which tho young man lay was tho picture which was reproduced on his skin. Another instance is of a man who was struck by lightning, and on his chest wero red marks resembling a treo wttn all Its branches under which tho man was standing when he was killed. From Franco comes the story of a peasant girl who was driving a cow from tho pasture when she was overtaken by a storm, and sho and the cow took refuge under the tree. A bolt killed the cow and stunned tho girl. When Hho recovered conscious ness she found ou her chest a picturo of tho cow she had been driving. Tho chatelaine of the castlo of Ren atonnulre was sitting in a chair in her salon when the chateau was struck by lightning. She was quite uninjured, but on the back of her dross was found a perfect copy of tho chair on which sho had been sitting, down to Its minutest ornament. Those are a few of the many strange pranks which lightning plays upon us. Fortunate Is he who sees the point of a Joke Instead of feeling It.
