His mother made him one, and the first

glee. In the morning, when his mother
took il of, she found in the one pocket a
couple of seed eakes, three matches, a
toothpick, small silver watch, several
pieces Of cough candy and the boys

The City Of Siberia.

If ! were asked to characterize Omsk
in few words, / should describe it as a
city of $4,000 inhabitants, in which the
largest building is a military academy
and the most picturesque building a po-
lice station in which there is neither
newspaper nor public library, and in
which one half the population wears the
Tsar's uniform and makes a business Of
governing the other half The nature Of
the relations between the latter half and
the former may be inferred from the fact
that an intelligent and reputable citizen
Of this chinOynik denominated city, who
had been kind ami useful to us, said 10

Reindeer Hair for Life Pre-
servers.

Life-saving apparatus Of reindeer hair
has been contriyed and successfully ex-
perimented with by a Norwegian engi-
neer, it being proved that such hair is
capable disappearing weight ten times
its own. Experiments were ma'le in one
case with life-saving object which could
be used on board ship as chair, bed
stead or couch, but which, in case ofneed
may be converted into smallboat This
apparatus was found capable Of support
ing three full grown men in the water,
although only intended to bear two.
Another trial was with suit made en-
tirely ofreindeer hair, covering theentire
body except the face, in which a man
floated on the water without having to
make the slightest movement. It was
also found wholly impossible to dive in
the dress. a door mat made Of this hair
was found to support a man easily,
although he was dressed N outdoor
clothing. On comparing life belts made
Of reindeer hair with similar ones made
Of cork, il was found that the former are
much lighter than the latter-a very i'm
portant advantage to an exhausted
drowning person when it has to be put
on in the water.

three cases in which the patients were af-
fecf"d with symmetrical and rec'rrent or
persistent tylosis OF the palmar and plan

OF the 3,200 postmasters who make
their settlements with the government

on cloth, put another piece of cloth on
top of it and then stitch all around the
money Others spread mucilage on piece
of paper lay the coin fiat on the sticky
surface, and with another piece of paper
on for a cover the money is shipped in
that way. don't know why they are so
particular, unless they imagine the pack

in cigar boxes, and there ore several other
sorts of packages that are just rs odd

our local demand for them. Last sum-

If we know all the methods OF approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes inevita-
Bile. In.many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to oppose the
tendency toward death. Many however have
lost these forces to such an extent that there
is little or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all the diff
ference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symp-
toms of a Cough, Cold or any trouble of the
Throat or Lungs, give that old and we'll
known remedy-Boschee's German Syrup. a
careful trial. 1t will prove what thousands
say of it to be, the "benefactor of any
home"
