that the petition for the estab-

tention being to make our way to Bokhara
and thence to Persia, where we hoped to
find an English ship. After walking 800
versts to Tomsk, we changed our minds
and turned our faces toward Moscow.
"In our long journey back to Moscow we
travelled largely by night, though not
always, in Siberia. After getting into
Russia We had TO be more careful. and
always travelled by night.
+" As have already said, the people in
Siberia were friendly to u.s. They knew
we were escaped convicts. We sometimes
met soldiers on the road, but they did not
trouble us. Many of the soldiers in ST.
IBERIA have been sent there as punish
ment, and so they were not likely to be
overzealous In Siberia we worked for the
farmers in the summer, and staid with
them in the winter. They supplied our
wants and directed us on our course, telling
us where to find friends and how to avoid
a village where there was some man whom
it would be dangerous for us to meet. The
inhabitants of Siberia are fine people.
They are proud to say, we are Siberians'
Siberia is a splendid country. Its mineral
wealth is very great, and many parts of
the country are wonderfully fertile.
When we cane at last to Moscow
friends supplied my wants. Then l went
to Prussia and found myself out of danger
l had been in Siberia eight years in all,
and four years had elapsed after escaping
from the iron mines of Petrofski before
found myself in safety. From Prussia
went to England, and later came to Amer
lea and Boston"

Preaching to Maidens.

To look at the average American girl
one would hardly believe that she needed
all the advice she has been getting recently.
In this age the prophets are so many, how
ever, and the preachers and teachers do so.
abound, that it would be singular if the.
feminine portion of the rising generation
escaped admonition. The young women
have heard two voices in the wilderness
within the last few days. One was the
sweet, clear soprano of the poetess of pas
sion, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the other the
rather creaky tenor of that amiable small
talk preacher, Charles Dudley Warner.
It was not duet; in fact, the poetess
trilled in Omaha, while MIR. Warner war
bled in Poughkeepsie. Neither were their
strains attuned to one key. The cry of the
nailkman and the song of the mocking bird
were not dissimilar.
For once Mrs. Wilcox did not linger
upon the scrumptiousness of kissing, and
denied herself even an allusion to her
heart pants, delirious waltzes, languorous
signs and devouring eyes. She didn't
drop into Wisconsin poetry at all. Simply
she stood up and advised all American
girls to cultivate sweet manner and
kindly glance for the stranger or acquaint-
ance. Very sensible advice it is, too, to
tell the girls to dispense sunbeams instead
of icicles, though she might have laid
greater stress upon the need for sunniness
in the home more than anywhere else. If
she tunes up her Tyre to that key hence
forth, she may undo a great deal of the
harm that she did with her pen dipped in
very muddy ink.
Mr.. Warner dared to talk Of simplicity
to the maidens at Vassar College No re-
port in full of his address has reached Us,
but he is known to have said 1t is a
good thing to travel through life with Just
enough baggage" and we are therefore JUS
tilted in believing that Mr.. Warmer was
scared into something very like abandon
ment Of his principles. To talk Of simpli-
city's high value in one breath and in the
next to say in effect that girl should
travel with what she deems enough sara.
togas, when we all know that the femin.
inc desire for saratogas cannot be stated, is
rank folly. Nc wonder that the historian

SCISSOR OF such striking beauty that strang-

was naturally DESTROYS OF meeting the

evening, was introduced to rather plain

Not knowing just what the local stand

object of the general admiration, and thus
began paving the way to certainty.

Crows and Poison Ivy.

At the l3Sth regular meeting of the Bio
logical Society of Washington, Mr.. Bur-
rows read very interesting and instruct
I've paper on Dangerous Planting
by the Crow" in the course of which he
proved that this bird is principal agent
In the distribution of the poison ivy and
poison sumach. The crow gathers the
seeds of these and other species of Rhus
from Maine to Florida, and during the en-
tire fall and winter. One hundred and
tifty-three seeds of poison ivy were found
In single stomach. At a fifteen-acre
roost In Arlington cemetery, Mr. Burrows
collected the excrement from surface of
three square feet, dried 1t and obtained
twelve ounces of material, in which the
seeds were counted. He found that one
pound of the dried excrement which would
be derived from four square feet of the av-
erage surface, contains LOAF seeds of
poison ivy, BAL of poison sumach, besides
3,271 seeds of harmless species OF Rhus and
few others. The deposit is from one
third to one-half inch thick on the aver
age and contains 346 poisonous seeds to
the square foot. At this rate the roost of
fifteen acres would furnish about 226 ,0O0.-
600 of such seeds. As the birds pass fully
one-half their time flying over the country
they have ample opportunity to spread the
deadly species which furnish their food.
The seeds terminate more quickly after
passing the digestive tract of the crow than
they do naturally-some of them within
forty-eight hours. This valuable paper
caused great deal of discussion, in the
course of which it was related that certain
beetles have been observed to pass through
a toads alimentary tract "alive and kick
ing" We are reminded here of the little
black-fish of Alaska, Daliia pectorallis,
which endures the processes of freezing
solid and soiourning temporarily in the
stomach of the Eskimo dog, where the ge-
NAL warmth induces it to break for lib
erty, by and with the advice and consent
of its container.-Forea and Stream.

to suil-r for the Improvement Of their per-
sonal appearance, where no other eonsid-
Grafton could induce them to undergo half
as much.
New York fashionable gossip furnishes a
case in point. A young woman, OF the

nose most decidedly of the snub order, has
lately undergone a remarkable surgical
operation, which has changed that useful
member INFO an organ of the. purest Gre

face, is misit of which natnre would not

Rules for Planting Trees.

l. A valuable sort is worth more than
merely handsome tree,
2. Good, healthy, bracing roots are of
more importance than symmetrical top.
3. The roots should be long and strong
enough, and the top made light enough to
obviate any stalking.
4. Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roots in setting out
tree, but used for mulch or top dressing.
B. Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stood in the nursery, or two
or three inches deeper, to allow for the
settling CT the earth.
6. Spread out the roots nearly equal
on all sides, so that they may brace the
tree well.
7. Avoid particularly any small cavity
next the roots, but fill compactly against
them on all sides with fine mellow earth.
8. A small, thrifty tree, with copious
roots when set out, will be a good bearing
tree sooner than large one with mutilated
roots.
9. Watering in dry weather crusts the
surface and does not reach the roots.
10. Young trees should not be set in a,
grass lot, or among any crops of sowed
grain; but the whole surface kept clean
and mellow.
IL. Shrivelled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for sew
eral days, compactly, with moist, mellow
earth.
IL. Ifnewly-set ones suffer from drought.
mulch the ground about them, and fire.
quently sprinkle or shower the stems and
branches.
Is. The roots extend as far from the
tree as its entire hight. Clean and mellow
cultivation should therefore cover a circle
twice as wide as its hight.
IA. AS general rule, cultivation should
be continued for six, eight or ten years
from planting, after which closely grazed
or lawn-mowed grass may be permitted,
with frequent top-dressing.
Is. The amount of manuring or top
dressing must vary with the vigor of the
trees; young trees should grow two or
three feet yearly, and bearing ones one or
more.
l6. Keep an eye to the future shape of
the tree, and timely remove small, need
less, crossing or crooked limbs. This will
obviate heavy pruning in after years.
II. Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor, but if done when growing
or in leaf, it checks growth, and there
for a feeble tree should never be pruned
after growth commences in the spring
But healthy, strong growers may be lightly
pruned at either season.
IS. Most of the bad luck with young
trees and orchards is the result of neg
lecting the preceding rules.-Cogntiy Gen
ti7aan.

Hedgehogs in the Rocky Mountains

There are a great many hedgehogs in
the woods here, and all hunters have
deadly hatred of them, and always kill
them whenever found, under the idea that
they otherwise will not have good luck in
hunting. They do great damage to the
timber by girdling the trees in winter as
they feed upon the bark. There are acres
of pine trees in some places where scarcely
tree has escaped them, great many be
ing girdled all around and killed. The
animal sits on the snow, it is said, when
gnawing trees, SO that these girdled places
show the depth of the snow. saw some
work of hedgehogs however, where they
had barked the tree forty feet from the
ground in places where the snow could
hardly have been so deep. l only came
across one in my wanderings big shaggy
beast, too lazy to get out of the way. l
did not want to shoot it for fear of fright
ening the game in the neighborhood, and
so contented myself with pelting it with
rocks, whereupon he ran and tried to hide
under fallen tree, where left him. One
night about midnight was awakened by
loud humping and pounding just out
side the tent, and on going out found one
of the hunters in his night clothes bella
boring a hedgehog with club. He was
taking his revenge on the animal for fall
ing out of tree and waking him up.
