One OF the Peculiar Institutions Of the

The "Taiga," the Siberian forests
are thickly peopled with "Brodiagas,"
runaways and Migrants, who slowly ad-

reaching the harder line Of European

run to the woods. Guided by the polar
star, by the moses on the trees, or
by old Migrants who possess the
precious information about the RUNAWAY
paths and runaway stations" they
undertake the long and perilous back
ward journey. They pass around Lake
Baikal, climbing the high and wild
mountains on its shores, or they cross it
on RATS. When possible, they avoid the
highways, the towns and settlements Of
the Bouriats-who are still numerous in
the province Of Irkutsk-but freely camp
in the woods around the towns populated
by Russians. At the city OF Chita, the
capital Of Transbaikalia, each spring car
be seen the fires Of the Migrants lighted
on the woody slopes Of the surrounding
mountains. They freely enter the Rus

sprung upon the public, affecting to a
certain degree all n Of trade.
The Minneapolis Journal gives a very
impartial view Of what they think

Something About Dyspepsia.

Chronic dyspepsia is q functional, not
an organic, disorder. If the eye could
look within the stomach, in the latter
case, it would see no explanation of tho
trouble, as in the case Of organic diseases.
At least five kinds of fluids cooperate
In the digestive process: saliva, gastric
juice, bile, pancreatic fluid and intestinal
secretions. Indigestion, therefore, does
not necessarily have its seat in the
stomach.
Two forms of it are specially recognized
--gastr!c that Of the stomach) and in
testinal. Each form has two prominent
varieties: one in which the food is really
digested, while the person has a great
sense of discomfort; the other, in which
the food is not duly digested, while tho
person has comparatively little suffering.
In the first variety there is an abnormal
excitability of the nerves Of sensation.
Iris is known rs nervous dyspepsia.
The more common causes If dyspepsia
arc excuses in eating, neglect Of physical
exercise, p~rotracted anxiety, change from
an active to a ~sedentary life, insufficient
sleep, luxurious living. f,
No treatment can here be described
suited to individual cases, The chief
thing is 10 find out and rcmOvethe ause.
An overworked stomach should be re-
lieved by giving it only tine work which
it can do easily, and by furnishing TO it
only that which is easily digested.
Everything should he done to improve
the general health. Change Of locality
and general surroundings is often a help.

Foreigners I'm Russia.

An interesting paper issued by the
Russian ministry Of the interior informs
us that the yearly average Number Of
foreigners arriving in Russia is over
500, 900, and those who leave the country
1901 600. Exact statistics Of the years
1s72-Sl have been kept, and it appears
that during these ten years 9.4jS, 1872
foreigners arrived and s,025, l0S de-

When Did Punctuation origlnatee

A correspondent wrote to the editor of
The London Public Opinion for informa-
ton on this subject, and received the
following reply: 1T is generally be-
lieved that the elements of n system of
punctuation existed in ancient times.
Aristotle mentions the subject in his
Rhetoric About the middle of the
Fifth century an edition Of the Four
Gospels was published, in which the New
Testament was divided into stichoi or
lines regulated by the sense. Modern
punctuation appears to have been very
imperfectly understood till the close of
the Fifteenth century, when the Venetian
printers adopted some fixed rules, which
gradually became general throughout
Europe. Perhaps, however, some of our
readers can throw light on the subject"

Preserving Fruit Juices.

An ingenious idea has been hit upon
by an investigator on the preservation Of
fruit juices. He finds that the addition
of a very small amount of chloroform,
about five TO ten drops to two pounds Of
the liquid to he preserved, acts as a most
excellent preventative. The method is
certainly a very simple one and such a
small amount of chloroform should be
entirely harmless. New York Mail and

A SUCCESSFUL NORTHUMBERLAND EMBALM.

1t is highly important there should be in
every town 6rst-class enlbalmer of the
dead, and we are pleased that Marietta has
one in the person of Mr. Charles K. Hen
derson, Of the firm OF JW Henderson, Son.
He has taken course of lectures and per-
fected himself in this science until he has
attained degree of skill that so far has new
err failed him in doing his work efficiently
and successfully. In preparing the dead
for burial, it sometimes happens that they
have to be shipped to distant cities and be-
ing several days on the road, it is desired
that their natural appearance should be
preserved, as well as to prevent degomposi-
ton. To show our readers that Mr.. Hen
derson is an expert in the business, we copy
a paragraph from letter from Col. John
W. Johnson of Woburn, Mass, to Mr..
George f. Newell, in regard to the excel
lent condition of the corpse of Mr. Charles
Converse, shipped from this place a few
weeks ago, after being embalmed by Mr..
G. E. Henderson Col. Johnson says "The
features we're wonderfully preserved. The
undertaken in your city is certainly mas
ter OF his profession.
. NJ. Trip, an experienced undertaken in
Boston told Mrs. Converse that "he never
saw embalming better done"
Mrs. Converse was equally as well pleas
ed with Mr.. Henderson's work, as the fol-
lowing very complimentary letter to him,
shows:
LEXINGTON, MASS, April 18th, 1888.
Mr.. Henderson My friends, as well as
myself, are so well pleased with the appear
ance of Charlie that could not help writing
to tell you of it. Mr.. Trip, the undertake
er, said he never saw embalming better
done. Please accept the compliment, as
well as my heart felt thanks for all you have
done for my husband and darling daughter.
May your wife never pass through what /
am passing, is the heartfelt wish of
Mrs, CHAs. W CONVERSE.
Mr.. Henderson has all the appliances
necessary for perfect embalming, and being
a progressive, energetic and intelligent
young man, he will spare no expense or
time in keeping posted in all the modern
improvements that will aid him in his work.
He stands deseryedly high in the good opin-
ion Of our people, and is appreciated by the
Undertaker's Funeral Association of Geor
gia, as evidenced by making him their Sec
