A few years ago l travelled on a sany
(sleigh) from St. Petersburg to Arch
angelisk via Oloneg, distance of 1lo4
vcrsts, or about 730 miles. 1t was in
December, and owing to the extremely
cold weather, the temperature varying
from sixty to seventy below zero, the
wolves were peculiarly ravenous. We
left the hotel Snamicnskaya, st. Peters
burg, early in the morning. and were
soon among the pine forests (sosnovoy
less), bowling along at great speed.
We were warmly clad in sheep and rein
deer skins-the woolly side in-but the
cold was intense, though we found some
compensation in the weird beauty OF the
scenery. We saw numbers of wolves
early on our journey, but they did not
annoy us, for, unless they are partlcu-
larly ravenous they will not come near to
a sany and horses and ringing sleigh
bells. Our Yamshik driver assured us,
however, that before the lakes Uadoga
and Onegskoe Osero) were passed we
would have our hands full and we were
not disappointed. The mail road or
trakt over which we travelled is splendid
ly kept by the government. 1t leads
through forests of giant pines, crossing
frozen rivulets and winding over and
round through mountains of whose
nakedness, barrenness and desolation
only inadequate ideas can be conveyed.
Away toward the southwest were the
lakes, frozen many feet deep. The pine
trees and smaller growths glistened
with frozen white and bent beneath
their burden and the ground in the foles:
and in the open toward the lakes was
carpeted with an immaculate coverlet of
nature frozen hard as steel by the icy at
mosphere. The croaking of half buried
crows and the occasional howls and bark
ing of the wolves were grim accompani
ments to the music of the sleigh bells.
On the horizon the three hours sun-so
peculiar to this region-glowed with a
dull golden light that anything but sug
gested the brilliant sunshine of the south.
There would be daylight for but few
hours, but when night came it would be
illuminated by glittering stars and IL
moon of extraordinary brilliancy md for
weeks made more beautiful by the au-
rora borealis, whose exquisite colors add
an almost fairy-like and weird splendor
to the scenery. We were nearing the
end of one of the lakes when the Yam
shik drew my attention toa strange feat
urc of this northern cline. On the
sides Of the road we could see the crows
and woodcocks and small wolves aud
other little animals buried in the snow
with only their heads peeping above it.
The snow is warmer than the atmos-
pherc," said the Yamshik. On We sped
over the frozen road, which rings like
metal to the motion of the sleigh run

WINTER APPLES.

What cheer is there that is half so good,
In the snowy waste Of winter night,
As dancing fire Of hickory wood,
And an easy-chair in its mellow light,
And pearmain apple, ruddy and sleek,
Or jenncting with freckled cheek9
A russell apple is fair to view,
With q tawny tint like an autumn leaf,
The warmth of ripened corn-field's hue.
Or golden hint Of harvest sheaf;
And the wholesome breath of finished year
Is help in winesap's blooming sphere.
They bring you thought Of the orchard
trees
In blossomy April and leafy June,
And the sleepy droning of bumble-bees
In the lazy light of the afternoon,
And tangled clover and bobolinks,
Tiger-ilies and garden pinks,
If you've somewhere left, with its gables
wide
A farm house set in an orchard old,
You'll see it all in the winter-titla
At sight of pippin's green and gold,
Or pearmain apple, ruddy and sleek,
Or a jennetiug with freckled cheek.

In April, 1880, Mrs. Sallic D. Stem
mons, of Bourbon County, Ky, made an
agreement in writing with her grandson,
Albert r. Talbot, that she would give
him $500 if he would never take another
chew of tobacco or smoke another cigar
from that time until her death. At the
same time the grandson stipulated to re-
fund double that amount TO his mother
if he at any time within the prescribed
period violated the agreement. The
grandmother died in February, 1887 and
as he fulfilled the conditions of his agree
ment and was never paid cent, Tai
bott instituted suit for the recovery of
the money from Thomas, the executor of
the estate. II was claimed that the con-
dition was not sufficient in law to make
the contract valid, and the lower court
gave Judgment against Talbot. On ap-
peal the case was decided in the Supreme
Court and reversed, and again appealed
10 the Court of Appeals, which decides
that Talbot fulfilled a plain contract,
and is entitled to the money.

When after while we shall greet them

Getting Even With Chicken Thieves.

A chicken raiser at ElmhurSt, Penn,
lost thirty odd broilers last summer by
hen hawks. He found that the hawks
generally swooped down upon the young
fowl at about midday. An old woods
man told him how to get even with the
bic chicken thieves. Out in the lot near
his barn he planted round post with a
fiat top. Around the rim OF the top he
bored eimlet holes two inches apart, slant
inc them outward little. Then nc got
some stcels out of IN old umbrella, made
them uniform in length, filed one end OF
each to point as sharp as darnlng
needle, and inserted them into the glmlet
holes, with the sharp points up. Inside
of the circle of spikes he stood a dead
chicken, placing its head as though it was
picking food. Before the novel trap hal
been completed an hour an immense
hawk swoopcd down after the dead
chicken on top of the post, striking SO
hard that five of the sharp wires ran clear
through its body. During the summer
eight hen hawks and big owl got i'm
paled on the sharp spikes, and the poul-
try raiser lost no more chickens,

The two varieties, forest wolf Qesney
volk) and prairie wolf Polevoy volk(,
differ in size but not in appetite and in
stinct. This is what happens when hy-
drophobia, which is very prevalent, sets
in:
They rush into the villages and attack
the inhabitants. The villagers arm them
selves with scythcs and bludgeons and
knives, but before hydrophobia gives
way to death some one has been bitten,
and probably in the face, for which the
maddencd animal displays a mysterious
partiality. To villagers and peasants he
is veritablc curse. Sheep, goats, COWS,
horses, and even children suit him equal
" well. Sometimes small towns are
kept in IL state of seige, hordes of the
hungry animals seeking their food on
the outskirts of the nearest settlement.
In every phase of Russian life outside the
large cities the volk exists as a sort Of
Nemesis, so that it is easy to understand
why wolf-hunting has developed into
something like an institution in Russia.
The element of danger in the sport has
been greatly exaggerated, but is large
enough to fascinate the wealthy who en-
gage in it. To the masses it is anything
but pastime. 1t is a war, and they prose-
cute it to save their flocks and their
children and their homes. The exter-
minating methods are many and curious.
That most commonly resorted to by the
peasantry is somewhat similar to the
plan adopted in Africa when bunting
much larger game. Somewhere near
forest which large numbers of wolves are
known to frequent, space is cleared
and lage hole, eight to ten feet deep
and five or six wide, is dug. This IS
covered with small branches and straw.
At one end, or sometimes in the centre,
is fixed pole or tree and tied to this is
a young pig (porosionok). The bait
has an unpleasant time of it even before
the wolves appear-it is so fixed that he
is in continual torture, and IS conse-

nucntly lures to the slaughter of next
morning as many as a dozen wolves.
The work of killing them is very soon
oycr. 1t does not, however, take the
survivors long to learn that there is
something suspicious and improbable
about the affair, and the time soon comes
when they cease to be tempted by the
screams of the succulcnt and tempting
