AN ADMIRAL'S PLEA.

Why Siberia Should be Relieved OF the
Stigma of n Convict Settlement.
The Russian Admiral Possiet, who has
travelled great deal in Siberia, has pub
lished a pamphlet on the system Of trans
portation of criminals in Russia. He
thinks the time has arrived when the
practice of colonizing Siberia should
cease. "Siberia is no longer" he says,
'sthe same country it was when it became
convict settlement. At that time it did
not extend beyond Kamtschatka. But
now that Russia, by the acquisition of
the Amoor district, has extended her
frontier to the Sea of Okhotsk, which is
being gradually converted into second
Mediterranean, and that China and ia
pan are waking out of their sleep Of CEN
turtles, it is time to relieve Siberia OF the
humiliating stigma of q convict settle
ment and to place it in position more
suited to the development Of its re-
sources. The criminals who have been
transported into Siberia during the last
two centuries exercise q ruin0us inf1u-
ence on the population. The purpose
of the transportation is twofold; it aims
both at the punishment and at the re-
form of the criminal. The penal object
is fulfilled; the punishment of forced
labor in Siberia is most severe. But so
long as the present system continues
there can be no moral REFORM It is 3
proverb in Siberia that forced labor is
the school of corruption" and the con-
victs themselves say that the journey
from European Russia is far more ter
rible than the forced labor imposed upon
them when they reach their destination.
The convicts are mostly employed in
gold washing, the silver mines having
been almost entirely abandoned. Adj
miral Possiet visited the gold washers OF
Ust Kari, to which two thousand con-
victs had been sent. Two hundred OF
these were i'll in the hospital from scurvy,
three hundred had fled, and the rest
worked indolently and carelessly. -

SECOND DAY.

The sun has been struggling through
the colored glass in the top Of our pal
ace car for an hour or more, and the
train rushes on as if gaining fresh vigor
from the crisp morning air, when the
red-bearded gentleman section shows
signs of agitation and a towzled head
looks out from the curtains.
''Time to be stirring, think" he says
to himself. II wonder how my little
neighbor has stood it? One does
not usually get much sleep during the
first night on a sleeper, especially with
an amiable old deaf gentleman snor-
ing like house afire in the vicinity.
must get out. She may be too bashful
to get up with me here" Catching
sight of a stout little shoe lying IN the
aisle ON the side nearest him. "Great
Jove, it is one of hers! Tumbled out of
her section in the night and rolled over
here. May be she's waiting now for the
porter to come and rescue it from its
dangerous proximity to me. I'll put it
back and pretend to be asleep while
she gets it."
just as he seeks to carry this into eff
feet her curtains open and he is caught
in the act. There's nothing for it but
to face the music, and he says, coolly:
II hope you will excuse the liberty I
take with your property, but it had
strayed into my domain. Permit me to
return il"
AS much of her face as he can see is
very pink indeed-a little dimpled hand
receives the vagrant shoe. She muir
murs an indistinct THANK you," and
hastily closes the curtain.
Rather too embarrassing situation
for improving an acquaintance, thinks
the gentleman as he repairs to the dress
ing-room and begins sousing his head in
the cold water. ''How shy she is!
sort of contempt for the embarrassing,
lunch-offering. seat-turning, book-loan-
ing modes Of scraping acquaintance.
principally because they are the stock in
trade of drummers and train 'mashers'
generally! Unless fortune comes to my
aid fear we shall ride to Chicago side
by side and strangers.
When he comes back from breakfast
he finds my lady apparently absorbed in
a book, her fair hair shining in the sun,
and the red circles gone from her eyes,
looking fresh and dainty as woodland
fiower-which is the comparison this
ordinarily prosaic young gentleman
makes when he sees her. The deaf gem
tleman is on hand, protesting to the
Enolishman that he was never known to
snore, and the nocturnal disturbances
of which the latter spoke must have pro-
ceeded from the porter. After listening
for a moment to this SANDER of that
functionary, our hero resumes his seat
and opens another paper, which he has
procured somewhere; but he doesn't
seem to find it satisfactory, for his eye
wanders now and then across the aisle
to his neighbor. She detects it, not
withstanding her absorption, and i'm

Never More VIII We See the Pumpkin Pies
of Old.
A subscriber writes to his favorite
journal asking how to make the SANG
kind of pumpkin pies that were mad6
when he was boy. We regret to chill
his desire for knowledge, but it is our
duty to do so. They can't be made.
They don't grow the same kind Of
pumpkins now. The sun never shines
down on the old cornfield the same way
it did thirty odd years ago.
There has come a sort of change over
the climate that scientists all recognize,
and that bears polysyllabic name that
he wouldn't understand any better than
we do. If he doesn't believe it, let him
walk out some summer afternoon be-
tween the towering rows of nodding
cornstalks and note the difference. It
is hotter than it used to be and not half
so invigorating. Then, the soil has
changed, too. It sticks to his boots in
a way that was unknown to his bare feet
in those days of the very long ago. The
pumpkins are still there, we suppose.
Market reports and the columns Of
country newspapers still chronicle their
growth and the enormous sizes they at
tain, as of yore; but the flavor! That
has gone irretrievably as the mud pies
which used to turn their brown sides up
to the sun when all of us were young.
The pumpkins of the present day are
squash-like in taste, thin, watery and
unsatisfactory. The crust of the pie liz
hard, soggy and indigessible.
The flour and the ovens are changed,
too. And, although this is an age of
progress, the art Of piemaking has not
kept up with its fellow arts in the march
of Improvement. Perhaps this is owing
to the introduction of the stove, and the
abolition of the old-fashioned brick oven.
There was something about those old
brick-ovens that gave the pie-crust q
flakiness and tenderness which is notice.
able in modern pies principally by its
absence.
No, the old-fashioned pumpkin pie
has passed away. It belongs to by
gone age. In its place we have machine
made pies, put up by the gross and cart
ed around in wagons. The only way for
our MISUNDERSTANDING friend to taste
again those viands of the past is for him
to seat himself beside his CRATE some cool
fall evening, light his pipe, close his
eyes and dream of the old farmhouse
among the hills and the Thanksgiving
dinner of his boyhood, when his grand
mother presided over the table, and the
pumpkin pie came on in tim dish,
square at the corners, and deep enough
to hold ten dozen of the pie plates of the
present day. This may not satisfy his
hunger and sustain life, but it is the only
way that the man of the present can
ever hope to taste the pumpkin pie OF
the boy of the past generation.-Puc

somebody by means Of whom effect Is
given to the popular decision in favofpf
this or that person becoming Prime Min
lister and retaining this position so long
as he has majority in the House OF
Commons-much as the bees feed par-l
ticular grub with royal pollen in
order that it may lay eggs. The ar.
rangement is q curious and cumber,
some one, and is to politics what John
and Richard Doe are to law. Il is not
probable that it will last very long. Il
has its disadvantages; it serves to create
servile spirit and to strengthen class dis
tinctions. A professed courtier is prob
ably the lowest and most degraded speci-
men of the human race. There is ten
dency on the part of the sovereign to
interfere indirectly in political matters
beyond the mere nomination of Prime
Minister; and this interference is usu-
ally baneful, because the opinion OF q
sovereign upon such matters is almost
invariably wrong. It is very costly.
These evils, however, are not inherited
in monarchy such as ours. There
seems no reason why courtiers should
be paid large sums for performing their
foolish business. The interference of
the sovereign in politics might be rem
dered impossible. Great expenditure is
not necessarily involved in the idea of a
monarchical figurehead. The royal
family collectively costs us about one
million per annum. This vast sum is
expended in keeping up the medieval
tomfoolery of court, and in lavishly
endowing every member of the family
of the monarch. This must cease.
The President of the United States
receives salary of f10,000 per annum,
and provides for his family. Twice
this sum, together with a town and
country habitation, kept up at the Ma
tional expense, would be amply suffi-
Gent for the incumbent of the throne.
II, to this be added an annual allowance
of $4,000 to the immediate heir to the
crown, and about half this sum for Sec
retaries, etc., it will be seen that the
maximum cost of royalty ought not to
exceed about f25, 900 per annum, even
if small provision to enable younger
children to start in life were included
