The Cowboy Of Russia.

The Cossacks furnished the cavalry
and the Russians think it is the finest
in the world, although there is de.
cided difference OF opinion on this sub.
ject among military authorities. Out
side OF Russia the Cossack is regarded
as a good scout and an active guer-
rilla, but worthless for regular war.
fare. He is Il cowboy, the gaucho OF
Russia, was borne in saddle, has a
contempt for agriculture (all the food
products among the Cossacks are
raised by the women), a contempt for
schools, would not learn to read or
write if he had the opportunity, and
is just about half civilized.
But the Cossacks are q race OF free
men. They have never been serfs, and
have never paid taxes to any author
ity. They own vast tracts of land in
eastern Russia, where they raise herds
of cattle, sheep and horses. All their
land is held in common and the peo-
pie live in ccmmunes. Their system
Of local government is the same as
that of the Bedouins; the same as that
of the children OF Isreal in the time of
Moses and Abraham.-W. E. Curtis.

The lOnelV Man,

Robert Burdette has surely discov-
cred the man who thinks the whole
world of journalism will collapse if he
revenses himself by crying, "Stop my
paper" He says:
There are l.4OO,cOO,OOO people
living on the planet which We inhabit.
And yet there is now and then a man
who wonders what the rest of us will
do when he dies. There are people in
''society" who honestly think that all
the world closes its eyes when we lie
down to sleep. There are men who
fear to act according to their own
convictions, because, perhaps, ten
persons in a crowd OF 400, 600, 900
will laugh at them. Why, if man
could only realize every moment what
bustling, busy, fussy important lit
tie atom he is in all this great ant
hill of important, fussy little atoms,
every day he would regard himself
less, and think still less of the other
molecules in the corral.

Progress of Civilization.

''The night ends with storm; yet re.
ioice; they herald the morning." were
the last words OF Erasmus, and in the
Frightening light of the new day the no.
rizon OF the future now plainly reveals
the verdure OF wide forests. temples Of
health and science, the fruit planta-
tions OF reclaimed fields and the gar
den homes OF renaturalized men. The
progress OF our latter day civilization
has not yet reached it's ultimate gaol,
but we can no longer doubt that the
principle of that progress is q reaction
against the doctrine of anti-natural-
ism. All the leading nations OF the
Caucasian race are retracing their
steps from ghostland to earth. From
the Caucasus to the foot of the Corlil-
las. science is busy retaining the
blighted gardens OF our earthly para
disc. All OF our successful reformers
are preaching gospel of a physical
regeneration.-North American Re.

High Price for a Book,

THE highest price ever paid for a
book" said an expert, twas $50. 900.
The German government gave that
sum for q vellum missaI which was pre-
sentcd to Henry VIII by Pope Leo X,
accompanied by thedocument of maxi
ing Henry defender of the faith.
Charles II gave it to the ancestors OF
the Duke of Hamilton. 4 few years
ago the duke put it into the hands OF
Southerly, Williamson 4 Hodge, OF
London with other books for sale.
The German government sent a
special embassy to buy it, and car
ried it back in an iron safe especially
constructed for it. The highest offer
ever made was for a Hebrew Bible in
the Vatican, for which the Jews of
Venice agreed to give it's weight in
gold. 1t was a vast roll which two
men could scarcely carry. and the Of
fer amounted to 500, 600, but 1t was
refused.

Strange Adventure,

II had been suffering for some
time" said the narrator OF the story
to a Chicago News reporter, "from a
sort OF nervous exhaustion, which
without greatly reducing my bodily
strength, left me in a state Of paral-
sis of the will and extreme and con.
slant WEAKNESS. One day l had got
into the bath.t tub and had sunk
into a sort of agreeable stupor, allow

ment and all the time adding to the
sense of dull, physical delight that
l was in. had not slept for more
than forty.eight hours, and, as you
may imagine, this condition of de.
licious repose soon had its natural
effect in putting me to sleep. And the
hot water was slowly and steadily
running all the time. l shall never
know how long l slept; it may have
been no more than two minutes, but
it seemed to me when l finally woke,
with a fearful sense that l was being
boiled alive, that l must have been
asleep an hour, and that during that
time the temperature of the wa.

my voice seemed as if paralyzed in
my throat. l could not utter single
sound! What was to do? I could
see the boiling water slowly, noiseless-
ly, pouring in. My agony was becom.
ing most intense. My head was on
fire, my senses reeled, my memory set
up a frightful dance OF torturing rem
iniscence; felt even certain pleasure
when l became aware that l was
fainting; then it would be all over.
"But suddenly my sinking senses
seemed to ralley. I opened my eyes
again and all at once this thong hit
came to my head:

A Minister'S Tact,

Perhaps as ready tact as was
ever displayed in the pulpit was on
the part OF a minister who became
the lifelong chaplain of Frederick the
Great. The king chose to decide he.
tween a number OF applicants by the
way in which they should deliver an
extempore sermon. the text to be
handed them IN sealed envelope as
they entered the pulpit. Sunday
came, and after prayers one Of the
kings aides presented the minister
with a sealed envelope. He opened
it and found it blank. He held up
one side and said: "My brethren, here
is nothing" Then, holding up the
other side, he said: "And here is
nothing, and OF nothing God created
all things" and proceeded to deliver
a magnificent discourse on the power
and wonders OF creation. He obtain
ell the appointment, and held it
through his life time.

Fish Lying in Hot Water.

There is u pond on the Lay ranch
at Golconda, which is fed by the wa.
ters from the hot springs. This pond
has all area OF two or three acres, and
tue temperature of the water is about
IS deg, and in some places where the
hot water bubbles up from the bot
tom the temperature is almost up to a
boiling point. Recently the discovery
has been made that this warm lake is
literally alive with carp, some OF which
are more than a foot long. All efforts
to catch them with a hook and
line have failed, as they will not touch
the most tempting bait. Anew ofthem
have been shot. and contrary to the
general supposition, the flesh was
hard and palatable. How the fish got
into the lake is mystery unsolved.
Within 100 feet OF it are springs which
are boiling hot, and the ranchers in
the vicinity use the water to scald
hogs in the butchering season.-Silver
State.

SCOTS EMULSION of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, with Hypophosphitcs, is a
combination of two of the most alua-
bic remedies in existence for the cure
of Consumption and all Wasting Con-
ditions; is more generally recommend
ed and used by Physicians than any
known remedy; it gives most satisac-
tory results, and tones up the system;
and when the Consumptive has wasted
away and loses hope, the Emulsion
will speedily check the ravages of this
terrible disease, and restore the sufferer
o good health and happiness. This
is equally true in regard to Rickets in
Children, or Marasmus and Anemia in
Adults, and all impoverished conditions
of the blood; and especially desirable
Tor Colds and Chronic Coughs, as it
will cure them more quickly than ordi-
nary Specifics used. Palatable as milk.
