They appear determined that they
will not lead life OF idleness, and with
commendable enterprise have started
out in life for themselves. Agricultu.
raj pursuits appear to have the greatest
of charms for them.

GOthenbOrg.

Gothenborg, the second city, and the
first commercial port of Sweden, with
20, 600 inhabitants and very extensive
foreign and domestic trade, exporting
steel, lumber and cattle, and importing
colonial goods, cotton, wine, Goals, etc. /,
lies pleasantly upon the pretty River
Gotha. five miles from the sea, and has
several granite.line canals extending
through it, which are crossed by twenty
stone bridges.
1t once had an East India Company
and herring fishery Of its own, and
when Napoleon contrived to close all
the ports of the continent againt Brit.
ish trade, Gothenborg became the great
depot whence British goods were
spread all over Europe, to Bonaparte's
intense wrath. 1t is solidly and hand
somely built, in palace-like houses, all
of the same height, and has broad
streets lined with avenues Of trees, and
spacious squares. and general aspect
of prosperity. The Scotch have long
been settled here in large numbers, and
are leading men in its business, which
may account for some Of the milk in
the cocoanut. 1t has beautiful and
extensive park and horticultural garden,
bordering on the central square, laid
out part in the English style and partly
left in state of nature; diversified by
surrounding and intersecting canals
aud sheets of water full of foreign
water fowls, while ostriches stalk along
its shores and yaks browse in its bor
dering paddocks, and numbers of fine
exotics and neighboring plants fill the
air with fragrance, and myriads of wild
birds make it musical with their songs.
The winding walks and shaded seats
seem popular with the burghers, for I

from the dwellings of the masses, so
as to be only available to the fortunate

How Russian RevOlutiOnist Died.

The unfortunate officer, DubrOvin,
who was hanged at st. Petersburg, the
first public victim of the state of siege,
died most heroically. A company OF
Wilmanstrand Infantry Regiment. to
which the condemned man had formerly
belonged, was ordered from Staraja
Russ to be present at the execution. A
square was formed about the gallows
by considerable number of troops. A
man OF noble presence, Lieutenant Du.
brown. clad in the black robe of the
condemned, on which the word "Trai-
tor was inscribed, came out from pris-
OF with a firm step, singing with
mighty voice kind of Russian Mar
seillaise, in which praise was given to
the names of Rylieff. Odojevski. and
other champions of freedom, who were
hanged under Nicholas in 1926. This
song seems to have been of Dubrovin's
own composition. The beating of
drums had to be resorted to in order to
stifie his voice. When the death.war
rant was read to him by lieutenant of
the Moscow Regiment of Guards, he
CONTEMPORARY said: "Stop that silly
ceremony !" When the priest offered
him the cross, Dubrovin babe him go to
place which is usually not mentioned.
Then he walked firmly to the scaffold,
calling out, "Long live freedom p
whereupon the executioner quickly
threw the cap over his head and per-
formed his Office. There is much
alarm in Government circles on account
of the corps of officers among whom Du.
brown had lived having never given the
slightest intimation to superior authori-
ties as to the sayings or doings of their
revolutionist comrade.

IMPORTANT
announcement
Life Assurance.

The EQUITABLE LIFE ASSUR.
ANCE SOCIETY of the United States
makes the following announcement to
the public:
The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with regard
to onerous conditions contained in life
assurance contracts and the judicial de-
cisions based thereon, together with the
public Endorsement of the liberal usages
of this society, as shown by its largely
increased business, has led the manage.
ment seriously to consider whether the
contract could not be simplified and GER
tain conditions erased therefrom which
have been the subject of much criticism
and misconception.
After careful examination Of the
experience Of some of the best COM
panies in Great Britain, who nave shown
a greater liberaiity than has been Gus
tomary in this country, this Society feels
justified in adopting form or contract
in which the following important con-
cessions are made to policy-holders
throughout the United States
1. Policies will be made incontesta-
BILE after three years from their date.
2. Each ordinary policy will pro-
vide for q definite surrender.value in
paid-up assurance. in case tho policy
is forfeited after three years from Its
date.
3. Each Tontine policy will contain
q definite surrender.value in cash, In
case Of withdrawal at the end OF the
Tontine Period.
A. The contract will be ooncisely
and clearly expressed, containing only
such provisions as are necessary to
protect the poliov-holders.
5. The above concessions will here
after inure to tho benefit OF all poll
oies already issued and in force after
three years from their dates respec-
tively.

The FOur-legged Fish.

Hutchinson, Kansas, has been con-
siderably excited over the finding of q
fish with four legs and frill or sort of
rutfie about its neck. in a we'll forty
feet deep. This little curiosity is the
same as that discovered by Professor o.
G. Marsh, in 1868, at Lake Como, in
Wyoming Territory, to which he gave
the name of !Siredon lichaoidss. Out in
that Territory they are known as the
" fish with legs" and are from five to
ten inches in length. A siredon pos
sesses external bronchial appendages or
gills, making partial frill to the neck,
and O membrane along the back and
tail, resembling that of the tadpole.
The head is like that of the yellow cat
fish, the body of dark olive color and
nearly transparent. According to Pro-
lessor Marsh's experience, the siredons
undergo change like the tadpole, and
the beautiful ruffle about the neck and
the tadpole-like membrane are absorbed
by the body. Various other changes
follow, and the little wonders are trans
formed into a completed animal. for

PH0SP9HAATEE

TIE BEST soap Tor toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
1t contains all the excellencies of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such q
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result of years OF
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains jngredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such q manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingredi-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
ned ; some are partially neutra!lseass
while others injure the quality OF
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best elements Of
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.
If your wife is in the habit of
using cosmetics Of any kind, advise
her to give up the pernioious prac-
tice, as the most harmless face
powders obstruct tho pores of the
skin and sooner or later injure the
complexion while PHOSPHATE
SOAP removes all impurities and
assists nature in developing O nat
ural, healthy and beautiful skin:
It is an old proverb that an
ounce of preventive is better than q
pound of cure. Twenty-Five cents
invested in cake of PHOSPHATE
SOAP will save hundreds Of dollars
in doctors bills. It acts as q con-
slant disinfectant, preventing Salt
Rheum and other skin diseases.
Not only for daily use on the face
and hands, but for bathing the
entire body, there is nothing equal
to PHOSPHATE SOAP. It is q
thorough disinfectant and removes
offensive odors Of every kind.
