The Great Heat Of Siberia.

Siberia is commonly regarded as a re
gion of ice and cold. but according to Mr..
George Kennan It is. in summer time,
about As hot country as there l. on the
face of the globe In one of his remarka-
bic Siberian narratives. given in the Cen
t,py Haqa-ire. Mr KEENAN, thus relates
one Of his hot weather experiences:
The farther we went up the Irtesh the
hotter became the weather, and the more
barren the steppe, until it was easy to i'm
agine that we were in an Arabian or anorth
African desert. The thermometer ranged
day after day from 90 to i032 in the
shade; the atmosphere was sutfocating;
every leaf ard every blade Of grass. as far
as:the eye.could reach. had been.absolutely
burned dead by the fierce sunshine; great
whirling columns of sand 100 to 80 feet in
height swept slowly and majestically
across the sun scorched plain; and we
could trace the progress of single mount
ed Kirghis FIVE miles away, by the cloud Of
dust which his horses hoofs raised from
the steppe. I suffered intensely from the
heat and thirst, and had to protect myself
from the fierce sunshine by swathing my
body in three or four thicknesses of blank
ct, and putting big down pillow over my
legs. / could not hold my hand in the
sunshine ten minutes without pain, and
wrapping ny body in four thicknesses Of
heavy wooden blanketing gave me at once
a sensation of GOODNESS. Mine was the
southern or sunny side of the tarantas and
/ finally became so exhausted with the
fierce heat, and had such a strange feeling
of faintness, nausea, and sutfocatiOn, that
asked Mr.. Frost to change sides with me
and give me a brief respite. He wrap
ped himself up in blanket put pillow
over his legs, and managed to endure 1t
until evening Familiar as | supposed
myself TO be with Siberia, l little thought
when crossed the frontier, that | should
find in it a north African desert, with
whirling sand columns and sunshine from
which l should be obliged to protect my
limbs with blankets. | laughed at the
Russian officer in 0msk, who told me that
the heat in the valley of the Irtes'h was
often so intense as to cause nausea and
fainting, and who advised me not to travel
between IL o'clock in the morning and 3
o'clock in the afternoon, when the day
was cloudless and hot The idea of hay
ing sunstroke in Siberia, and the sug-
gestion not to travel there in the middle
of the day, seemed to me so preposterous
that / could not restrain from a smile
of amusement He assured me, however
that he was talking seriously, and said that
the symptoms which he described We're
peculiar effects of the Irtes'h valley heat,
but it was evidently sunstroke that he had
seen"

THE CITIZEN
--------------------
MISCELLANEOUS.
A Agricultural.
TIE OLD REApER.

THE OLD REAPER.
mid the brown haired and black-haired
men,
With ruddy faces aglow,
The old man stood in the harvest field
With head as white a snow.
LET me cut sheaf, my boys" he said,
Before it is time to go
They put the sickle within his hand;
He bowed to the windy wheat;
Pleasantly fell the golden ears,
With the corn flowers at his feet
He lifted a handful thoughttullyi
1t was ripe and fall and sweet
| MANY and many a sheaf, he said,
.Ihave cut in the years gone past:
And many and many sheaf these arms
On the harvest wains have cast.
BUT, children dear, l am weary now,
And think this is-the last.
.Let me rest awhile beneath the tree,
For / like to watch you go,
With sickles bright, through the ripe, full
wheat.
And 10 feel the fresh wind blow
And they spread their working coats for
him,
'Mong the grasses sweet and low.
When the sun grew high they came again,
For drink ani their bread and meat;
And in the shadow he sleeping lay,
With the sunshine on his feet;
Like child at night, outspent with play,
He lay in slumber sweet.
When they came again, he family said:
II have crossed the meadow stile.
Ny work is done; It's nearly dark;
/ shall rest in little while
That night it was Harvest Home with him;
But he went away with a smile.

Surprising Age Of the Departed.

An lrishman was ordered to make a

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Fake

The Crust-in-the-Gutter Fake.
Two men were walking up Fifth Ave.
the other day when one of them said, point
ing to shabbily dressed man a little way
ahead: Look at that fellow; he is eating
crust of bread, and just saw him pick it
out of the gutter; that must be genuine
case and | am going to give him quar-
ter" keep your quarter for good
cigar" replied his companion, ''and watch
that rascal a few moments, and you will
be glad you gave him nothing" So the
two passed on and then looked back at the
man in the shabby clothes. When he
found that nothing was to be got from
them, he stopped eating the crust and put
IT back in the gutter, not in the mud, but
on piece Of clean, white paper, and wait
ed until some other looking per
son should come near enough to see him
pick it up again. ''Well, WELL" said the
man who saved his quarter, 1.-The ways of
the professional beggar are past finding
out" "Not at all past finding out" the
other replied "when you have seen him
play the trick twice. New York Tribune.

HOGS on GRASS.


Mr. D. ". Thomas strikes good key il
the following:
If hogs have plenty of grass in summer
and about half the grain they will eat,
they will fatten rapidly; and my experience
and belief are that three poands of PORK
can be made from less grain in this way
than one pound can be in cold weather
with a hog in a close pen. The grass il
cooling and loosening, and counteracts the
feverish properties of grain
Another important consideration in
favor of such a diet is the cost, which Is
merely nominal as compared with grain
alone Free access to water and cool,
clean shade are essential to the comfort
and consequent growth and thrift Of the
pigs. The hog delights a cool, damp local
ity, is very sensitive to heat and cold, and
suffers severely from exposure to either.
Any unusual exercise will be fatal to hog
that is fat, on hot day, if he has not free
access to water.
Hogs are not apt to root when they have
plenty Of grass. They should be allowed
TO have all the grass they will eat as early
in the spring as possible; and clover or
tame hay is good for them in winter. They
are fond of it. Hogs that have run in grass
ali summer can be shut up in pen and
ed to advantage six weeks or two months,
but no longer. A pig should never be
allowed to stop growing; in fact that rule
holds good during its entire life.
Dairy slops, grass. fruit and vegetables
are naturally the principal diet for hogs in
summer, and they are amply sufficient.
Such diet will insure the most perfect
health Of the animal. Pigs during the
first summer should be kept on the same,
adding only 80 much slop, meal and grain
As are necessary to keep them in fair con
lition. Indiana Farmer.

Influenced by the period Of growth at
