Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS

it won't hurt her. She made your
home comfortable, your hearth bright
and shining; food agreeable-for
pity's sake tell her you thank her, it
nothing more. She don't expect it;
it will make her eyes open wider
than they have these ten years,
bat it will do her good, and you,
TOO. There are many women to-day
thirsting for words of praise, the Ian

RuaaIan OIL wells,

Russia seems very DESTROYS of adopt
ing some of our ideas and appliances.
Within a short time we have heard of
American locomotives and American
elevators for that country, and now It
looks as If she intended to 60 still far
Their. 1t is pretty well understood that
Russia has considerable heavy Oil-pro-
ducing territory that from cost of
procuring, refining and transportation
Is in a great measure undeVeloped.
To remedy this or improve on their
own native plans two Russian gentle
men, representing one of the wealthiest
st. Petersburg firms, have been max
ing a tour of several weeks examining
the large refineries of the various cities
in this country and collecting such
information as they can make available
in oil producing and refining. After
seeing the oil regions of Pennsylvania
they become convinced that it W u d
be advantageous to adopt the system
in vogue there. Accordingly, they
purchased and shipped to Russia all
the machinery requisite for drilling
and pumping wells. To operate this
machinery a number of experienced
men were engaged with superinten-
dent, who are to be handsomely paid
in gold. The contract with these men
is only for one year, after which their
services will not be needed, that Is
supposing the natives to be bright
enough to operate and understand the
sy stem themselves.
The oil territory of Russia is near
about Baku, on the westesn shore of
the Caspian Sea. The wells average
about six hundred feet in depth, and
produce daily from forty to two hum
bred barrels each. IL is a fact not
generally known that the largest oil
well in the world Is at this place. The
produce is very heavy, has specific
gravity of thirty and comparatively
little sediment. It is wholly shipped
In vessels in bulk, and carried up the
Caspian sea and the Volga river to
Novgorod, thence by rail to St. Peters
burg. The cost of transportation has
always been so heavy that American
oil sold cheaper than native oil. The
Gear, therefore, for the purpose of
encouraging Russian production, i'm
posed a tax of $3.50 per barrel on all
foreign oil, so that the American prod
ucG is practically shut out. We see it
stated that Russia's production last
year was 100000 barrels refined oil,
but actual figures cannot be obtained,
and the above is only approximate. -
