stove; and then you will not be satisfied
until you go to Graham's and get him to
trim it out as he can do it. Your nice tin

Cheap Railroad Rates in Europe.

It is a rather significant circumstance
that the influence which is being exer-
cised by the American waterways upon
railway tariffs and traffic in the United
States is likely to he paralleled by the
effects of similar competition on the
European Continent. The advance of
the charges for through traffic from the
eastern to the western parts of Europe
over the German lines which followed
the adoption of Prince Bismarck's pro-
tectionist policy has considerably stim-
ulated traffic upon the Elbe. It was
not long ago announced that q new
company had been formed under Aus
trian auspices for navigating the Elbe
and the North Sea with a line of steam
ers, and this company may be expected
to commence operations at no distant
date. Meanwhile. the traffic by this
route has already expanded considera-
bly,, and has been encouraged by spec
ial arrangements between the vessels
on the river and the AustroHungarian
lines concerned. Latterly important
quantities of corn and flour for Great
Britain have been sent by way of the
Elbe. and the increasing tendency of
traffic between Austro-Hungary and
Great Britain to take this route is re-
SlNluS tuc COuipctiltOu oA AaiAOuiS
and Flume. Cheap rates by the line
to Gustavsburg on the Rhine again are
attracting traffic also to that river.
Finally, as we have already indicated.
Flume and Trieste are making great
competitive efforts to secure business
with the north of France and Great
Britain by the sea route from the Adri-
attic. The effort of the German Gov
ernment to encourage the home and
foreign trade in German productions
by removing the facilities previously
allowed to the transit trade has, there
fore, only had the effect of calling into
existence formidable rivalry to the rail-
ways. and. while damaging the German
transit trade. has failed TO secure any
advantages for German home produc-
tions. These facts may be regarded as
additional symptoms that the question
of waterways versus railways is coming
more and more to the front.-PdU Mall

% miles long from north 10 south and
124 miles wide, the general contour be-
ing a parallelogram. The greatest
measured depth that we have good au-
thority for is 1.506 feet. The tempera-
ture never goes below 80 degrees Fahr-

unless it be near the shore in some
sheltered cove or where stream of
sun-warmed wafer runs into it. At a
depth of 500 feet the temperature never

accounts for another-that of drowned
persons never rising-the water being
so. cold that no gases are generated.

that wood does not float for any time,

fallacies. The air being very light at
this elevation above the level of the
sea, exercise of any kind, either on
land or water. can not be so long con-

Soul Burying.

Whenever an Abchasian is drowned
his friends search carefully for the
BODY, but if this is not found they pro-
ceed to capture the soul of the de-
ceased, - measure which has then be-
come a matter of Importance. A goat
skin bag is sprinkled with water and
placed with its mouth, which is
stretched open for a hoop, looking to-
wards the river. near the place where
the man is supposed to have been drow-
ned. Two cords are stretched from
the spot across the river as bridge on
which the soul can come over. Yes
sells containing food anil drink are set
around the skin. and the friends of the
deceased come and eat quietly, while
song is sung with instrumental accom-
paniments. The soul, it is believed, is
attracted by the ceremonies. comes
over on the bridge that is laid for it.
and goes into the trap. As soon as it
has entered-that is, when the bag is
inflated by the breeze-the opening is
quickly closed, and the bag is taken up
to the burial place, where grave has
already been prepared. The bag is
held with the opening to the grave, the
strings are united. and the soul-that
is, the wind in the bag-is squeezed in
to the grave. and the burial is after
wards completed. This rite is consid-
cred of equivalent value with the bur
ial of the body, and the grave is treated
with the same honor as if the body
were really within it.-Popular Science

Onverad with Gold.

1t is curious fact that Russia. one
of the poorest of civilized countries,
makes greater parade of wealth in
one respect than any other State. The
domes of all the great churches in st.
Petersburg, Moscow, and other large
towns are plated with gold nearly one
quarter of an inch thick. The new
church of the Saviour dedicated and
opened in Moscow last August, repre-
sents value of fully $15, 200, 900. The
Isaac Cathedral. in St. Petersburg, may
be safely credited with at least twice
that amount. So strong, however. is
the old Slay belief in the inviolable
sanctuary of '.holy places that. dur
ing countless seasons of widespread
and bitter distress, no attempt has ever
been made to plunder the gold thus
temptingly exposed. Indeed, one OF
the finest churches in ST. PETERSBURG,
the Kazan Cathedral, owes its massive
shrine to a voluntary Offering of the
plumber taken by the Cossacks in 1872.

What Medical Science Will Do.

An English doctor, Dr.. Granville. has
started in the London Spectator little
controversy as TO whether the prolong-
alton of life. which medical science
boasts to have accomplished for the
race, is not 'tslower dying" rather
than ''longer living" and hence Of
doubtful benefit He finds, for in
stance. that the average age of persons
dying in the public insane asylums OF
Middlesex. Surrey, and London has
risen, from 1910 to 1875. from 44.5 to
51.6. showing that these lunatics have
gained an average in longevity of over
seven years, which he thinks is no adj
vantage to them. A more careful anal
ysis of his statistics, however, discovers
that the patients at the age of admis-
sion in 1875 averaged 42.S instead of
36.5, as in 1910. and that the age of
those who recovered had also risen
from 81 to 40. In other words. the av-
erage person enjoys sanity for six years
longer than formerly, but when he does
break down has much less chance of
recovery. since those who recover av-
erage two years younger than the av-
erage age of admission. That is. only
the younger patients recover. but this
has always been so. We give the table
in full, as it will be of interest to our
alieniSts:

Hands of American Women,

The American women have the
smallest hands in the world. Gloves
made in France for the American mar
ket are smaller and narrower than for
any others in the world. and the fingers
are made more slender, as any Ameri-
can woman will discover who has to
buy pair of gloves in any provincial
city in Europe. Probably no American
with a smallish hand which excites no
remark here has travelled long abroad
without discovering that it is only largo
shops in big cities which keep gloves
small enough for her. and a lady with
u hand just below the Americans aver
age, four. living in one of the largest
cities in Eastern Europe. recently found
herself forced to send to New York reg
ularly for her gloves. 1t is idle
ness that makes the hands small,
work that enlarges them. Perhaps the
foregoing is equivalent to saying that
American women are the LATEST in the
world.

1t has been very truly remarked that
Mrs. Stewart's style of dressing has
changed greatly since ten years ago.
when she used to congratulate herself
that she was wealthy enough to afford
to dress with simplicity. Now she
wears all that the most stylish and ex-
acting of dress-makers could demand
in fabric and cut. and her toilets are
as many as belle can boast in her first
season. At this garden party she wore
white brocaded satin, thick and heavy
enough to stand alone, as our grand
mothers put it. 1t was founced with
deep point lace over plain white satin
plaitings, and the corsage was cut with
a narrow V to fit broad. collarette Of
the same lace. A large cluster of white
lilacs was fastened at one side with a
diamond buckle, and diamond buckles
were on the sleeves and sashes of the
-overskirt. Youthful as this toilet was,
it was not unbecoming, for. like her
late husband. Mrs. Stewart looks re-
markably young for her age, and her
slight. trim figure and auburn hair
would do for woman of forty.-Sds'
