UNCLE SAM IN AUSTRALIA.

The American Court at the Melbourne
Exhibition.
In 1888 the great island of Australia-the
largest island of the world-began to be
opened up to civilization. One hundred
years have rolled round, and Australia is one
Of England's greatest colonies. In Melbourne
last summer the Australians celebrated tho
centennial of the settlement of the country,
though unfortunately those who first landed
were convicts, and Australia suffers to this
day from this fact.
The event is celebrated by a worlds fair,
and in this fair the United States is repre-
sented. Its court is designated by stars

MRS. GORDON BAlLLlE,

She WIN BE Imprisoned for Five Years for
False Pretenses.
The dwellers In cities nowadays have fire.
quentc tcause to complain that the social sys-
tenn u entirely too complex.
Early this year Mrs. Gordon Baillie ap-
peared in Edinburgh as land owner from
the Scottish highlands, engaged in benevo-
lent scheme to provide for the crofters lately
expelled from their tenancies. She took
rooms at q fashionable boarding house, pre-
sented letters from eminent people, was soon
on friendly footing with the best people,
and so nightly won upon the renowned Pro
fessor Blake that he gave dinner in her
honor. The papers gave detailed accounts
OF the recherche affair, and one journal
noticed the lady thus:
MRS. Gordon Baillie's appearance isremark-
able, reminding one pleasantly of Sir Walter
SCOTS portrait of Helen Macgregor. Her
bust and build may he styled Flaxmanesque
and her power Of dress is amazing. =
Added to this Mrs Baillie has proved her
self competent journalist, and even now is
regular lady correspondent to many Amer
ican journals"

gold letters under the side lights. Here
are Singer sewing machines, and Edison
monographs delight the curious British
colonists who attended the exhibition. The
machinery space is divided between America,
Great Britain aud Germany, which indicates
how far ahead these countries are in the me
chanic arts. The exhibition was remarkably
successful. Australia has for some years
past been making rapid strides, and doubtless
when her people come to celebrate her next
centennial she will be one of the great powers
OF the world.

making Butter in Uruguay.

One of the curious customs Of Uruguay is
the method of making butter. The dairy
man pours the milk warm from the cow into
an inflated pig or goatskin, bitches it to his
saddle by a long lasso and gallops five or six
miles into town with the milk sack pounding
along on the road behind him. When he
reaches the city, bis churning is over, the
butter is made and he peddles it from door
to door, dipping out with a large wooden
spoon the quantity desired by each family.
Though all sorts Of modern agricultural ma
chinery are used, the natives cannot be in
duced to adopt the wooden churn. Fresh
milk is sold by driving cows from door to
door along the principal streets and milking
into the jars Of the customers.-William

ACROSS ASIA BY RAIL.
THE GREAT SCHEME OF THE RUS
SIAN BEAR. =

He VIII Unite Russia with the PaciA0
Ocean with Bands of Steel and Open to
the World Vast Territories Now Out II
Reach.
From the time when John c. Fremont
recommended railroad to the Pacific cost
20 1864, when ground was broken at Omaha
Tor the Union Pacific railroad, Americans
looked forward to the uniting Of the At
lantic and Pacific by rail. And now, q quar-
ter OF century after the laying of the drrt
spike of the road which brought about th
desired result, the Russians are projectithg e
road which will also join tho Atlantic e.ss1
Pacific oceans, not from east to- wessee ,bta3 bat
from west to east, When the Russian road
through Siberia is built the globe will be
circled, SO far es its land will admit, by
rails The tourist starting from New York
may 60 west by rail to San Fran
cisco; thence by sea to Vladivostock
on the east coast Of Siberia; thence by rail
through 1rkutsk, Perm, Kasan, Moscow,
Warsaw, Dresden, Paris and Liverpool,
where he may ship for New York. Thus the
circumnavigation Of the globe will be COM
pleted by traversing two oceans by ship and
two continents by rail-
II We look far enough into the future we
may fancy a branch Of the Northern Pacific
railroad running through British Columbia
and Alaska to Behring straits, and meeting
the Russian road on the opposite side of the
strait. This would leave for water naviga-
tion around the earth only about 8, 600 out of,
say, $4,000 miles.
A connection between Russia, in Europe
and the Pacific ocean has long been dis
cussed, and recently steps have been taken to
build at least part of road which may
eventually make the desired connection.
Siberia, over which the road will lay, is
capable of being made very productive, and
there is no better means of opening any coun-
try than by building railroad through it.
In Siberia there are lands for agriculture, for
stock raising and for the production of min
erals, besides her supply Of furs and fish.
The portions OF the Siberian road which
will doubtless be- built first are those which
will supplement sections open to river navi-
cation. This requires the building of the
sections from Vladivostok to the mouth Of
the Usuri, from Chita to the Selenga, and
from Irkutsk to Jomsk. The last section is
necessary, as the Upper Tunjuska would not
be available without considerable pains to
make it so.
1t is expected that even this opening of
communication will have a marked effect.
The territories of Tobolsk and Tomsk con-
tain the principal portion of the manufac-
lures Of Siberia. They have 1890 factories
and employ 1880 hands. The coast pro-
vinces are SO remote as to be entirely cut
of from Russia. They constitute a rich
country, and it is desirable to the Russian
government to unite it with Russia.
The railway when completed will also be
benefit in the transportation Of goods which
come from China. A considerable amount
of Chinese merchandise is ut present trans
ported from China, overland, of which tea
is the most important. This trade is incrcas-

MY LORD SACKVILLE.
HE IS THE BRITISH MINISTER TO
THE UNITED STATES.

And He Has Kicked Up Great Row by
Writing o Letter Giving His Opinion OF
American Institutions-Historyo Of His
Lordship.
At the head Of the diplomatic circle-one
Of the most exclusive Of the innumerable cir
clesof Washington-stands the British min
lister.
The present British minister is now known
as Lord Sackville. Hewas called Sir Lionel
Sackville West until about month ago,
when his elder brother conveniently died in
England, and he became Lord sackville.
His loedsh.p made good deal Of sensa-
tion not long ago by airing his political
views in letter to an inquiring Englishman
Of California.
His letter indicated that he had no partic-
ular fondness for the institutions of the
United States.
Lord Sackville is the son Of the fifth Earl
Of War;, and was born July 10, 1921. He
entered the diplomatic service in 1S47 as at
tache to the legation at Lisbon. In 1853 he
was appointed first paid attache at Berlin,
and secretary Of legation at Turin in 1858;
was charge d'affaires from August to No
vember and for some months during the
years 1850 and 1863 He was then transferred
to Madrid, and in 1857 promoted to be secre-
tary of embassy at Berlin, and minister plen-
ipotentiary at Paris during the absence Of
the ambassador in 1868 and 1862 He was
charge des archives for short time in 1871,
and was again minister plenipotentiary from
Sept 10 to Dec. 6, 1871, and from Aug. 20 to

volved upon Lord Sackville This brother,
by the way, was a curious sort Of a fellow in
many WAYS, and one of the last things he did
before shufaing of the mortal coil was pecu-
liar, as things 60 nowadays He bequeathed
in his will CSC, 600 each to five of the queens
maids of honor. -
Lord Sackville is allowed $4,000 year
by his government for entertaining. Nearly
all the ministers to the United States are
allowed q certain amount to keep their end
up in tho whirl Of Washington society.
Minister Roustan, the French minister, for
instance, gets $4,000 year for this pur-
pose solely-and ho doesn't spend cant Of it.
He banks it.
He wines and dimes at other peoples recep-
tions.
Lord Sackville spends every cent of his
allowance-probably more. His receptions
and balls are grand affairs They are at
tended by people from New York, Philadel-
phia, baltimore, and everybody that is any
body in Washington. The residence Of tie
legation is one of the fL>;st buildings in the
city. The bathrooms ore vast The favors
Of the balls are from Paris; the wines are
half q century old; the flowers are cut from
the hothouses of the legation; the music il
furnished by the artists Of the country.
And yet ball at the British legation,
grand and impressive though it may be, is
not half so comfortable or jolly as ball at
most any place but the British legation.
This is on account Of Z certain air Of snob-
berry that seems to prevail over the whole
thing. A young clerk to one Of the secretaries
of the legation will treat Justice of the su-
preme court or a United States senator
superciliously, offering him q finger to shake.
They seem to be intensely bored on account
Of their obligation to attend On official re-
ception to an American herd-the herd be-
ing congregation of the finest people in the
United States, and the clerk being usually
the son Of butcher or shrimp seller in Eng
land.

seSS sCAAAHss IA OC-
tober, is called Hallow even, or Halloween.
About it originally chung many poetical su-
perstitions, which have mostly degenerated
into burlesque. These had their origin in
Scotland, land of the weird and uncanny.
At midnight certain incantations and charms
would disclose to her who performed them
her future matrimonial partner. And it was
also believed by the rustics that any one who
would watch in church porch on All Souls
night, the night following Halloween, would
see the ghosts Of those who were doomed to
die i'll that parish within year. One by one
the grewsome procession would troop by to-
wards the graves, foreshadowing their last
trip to tho churchyard. Many an over
curious maiden tried this dismal means of
learning something about the future, only to
he rewarded by the cruel pranks of the
youths who masqueraded as ghosts in order
to bring their sweethearts to terms.
Halloween has long taken on merry COL
oring. In England arose the fashion Of duck
Ing for apples in a tub of water. Nuts were
named for the lasses and laddies and placed
III the front Of the fire to see whom each
should marry.
Cabbages have always figured effectively in
Halloween practices. Why, it would be diff
cult to tell, just what occult power cabbage
possesses has never been defined; but certain
it is that these innocuous plants usually have
rough time of it Oh Halloween. In Scot
land the girls went forth at midnight and
each pulled a cabbage from the earth. If it
came up without breaking and brought with
it goodly portion of earth she would be
married within the year to husband Of en-
viable wealth.
s'uperstitions change with the years. They
either grow in intensity or lapse into bur-
lcsque. The ono pertaining to cabbage was
finally translated to mean that no thrifty
persons permitted their cabbages to stand in
the ground as late as the last day of October.
When any were found ungathered on this
particular night it was considered quite
proper to rebuke the carelessness and shift
lessness of their owners by pulling them up
