RussIa's Great Novelist

Count Tolstoi is a man of sixty, with
iron-gray hair, suuburned countenance,
plentifully furn ished with gray beard
and mustache. His hair is parted down
the middle and is thick and full. His
brow, furrowed with the ploughshars
OF thought, is broad and massive; his
eyes, small and piercing. CLEAN out be-
meath bushy brows His nose, large
and prominent, has full and expressive
nostrils. The features are so strongly
marked that once seen they cannot soon
be forrr''n1. He Is rather above the
average heig mt. and his threescore years
have not bowed his stature. But he is
NO .onycr as robust as he was. He
looks somewhat shrunken and worn,
as If time and tho evcr-burning ere
within were making inroads on what
was once a stout and stalwart form.
Count Tolstoi dresses not a la moujik.
but not as Count. He wears a coarse,
dark blouse, buttoned up the breast
and fastened round the waist with
leathern girdle. Collars, cuffs aud such
frippery he eschews. His trousers are
as those OF other men. On his head he
wears q sof:, weather beaten brimiess
hat and whenever he walks abroad he
carries . stout staff. The costume Of
the disciple is like to that of his master.

ing just now from . superabundance Of
scientific advice in regard to ventilation,
tonics, food, sleep and other hygicnic

articles written on air and apretizers,
the side on which to sleep, the rOlariza-
taon of the body and other themes con-
necied with the struggle to live are cal
suiated to drive the man who tries to
fellow them out practically into the lu-
naic asylum or the grave. We need
pare water, fresh food and bright, airy
sleeping rooms, but at the same time
We need enough common sense to keep
Us from worrying over imaginary ills

not for worry, and the sooner man
learns this the pleasanter will be his ex-

Much nonsense has been written
about the secrets Of lion tanners, such
as that they drug their animals before
going into tho cages, or that they tame
the beasts with the aid of red hot iron
bars. There is no truth in such stories,
and in spite OF the fact that lion tam
ers are now and then attacked aud
sometimes killed, most OF tho animals
they exhibit are quite harmless. The
principal secret of lion tanning is conf
dencs: it is thi, which 80 cuIcs the man
control over his animals. Pezon and
Bidel, the great Partisan lion tanners,
begin BY studying tho animal carefully,
and whom the lion becomes used to see
ing them they enter the cage. The
training is accomplished by taking .
whip and forcing the lion 10 do what is
wanted. 1t is q curious fact that lions
which have been caught wild are easier
to train than those born in captivity,
even though the latter animals may be
tame enough to be trusted outside their
cages. This Is something, however,
that no lion tanner who knows his BUSH
ness will ever thiak of ri.king with an
adult animal, for they are treachcrou'
let and just as likely as not it i, the
moment when he is apparently the least
dangerous that the king of the forest
will select for making his attack. -

Tie Sensation Of Being Scalpel.

The man who can tell more tales o
Indian fighting, bear hunting, and wild
life generally than any other nan west
of the Rockies is Carroll Bronson, s
pioneer of the Selkirk noun tains in
British Columbia. 1t is forty-tws years
since he mado his way alsne from the
had waters of the Missouri to those
mountains, and he is now in Ban
Francisco, seeing for the first time in
all those years town of more than a
thousand persons.
His face is SCARED from arrow
wounds received in Indian fights, and if
he lifts his long white hair from the
side of his head he shows q great
circular scar extending from above his
right eye clear around the right side and
back of his head almost to the left ear.
That is where the old man was scalped.
''It was in &c, with the Sioux" he
explained, "and it was tho worst brush
l lever had with the Indians. They
came upon o camp of nine of US and one
of them pounced upon me, seized me
by the hair and cut right around my
head where you see this scar. Then he
gave sharp wrench upward with his
right arm and laid the whole skull bare.

We respectfully ask those enthusiastic
scientists, says the Boston Cutti5at0r,
Who are prepared to demonstrate that
forests create rain to consider these facts ::
Our Pilgrim fathers lived in the seven
teeath century on the borders of the
largest forest IN the world, bounded by
Abe Atlantic Ocean on the cast and the
plains o. the west, BY Canada on the
north aud the Gulf of Mexico on the
sb,th, and yet they suffered from the
effects Of some Of the sevespsts droughts
recorded in American history. Forests
conserve moisture, but do not create it.
We must look for some other cause for
rx;a than the trackless forest or the arti-
Asial grove. Growing trees are valuable
property, either as q matter of sentiment
sr for their wood and Lumber product,
but to plant them for the purpose of in
areasing the rainfall is contrary to the
dictates Of experience and common
sense.
