SIBERIAN ExILES.

Tonight at the First Methodist Episcopal
church Mr.. George KEENAN, delivers his
famous lecture on Siberia. .
No country presents greater diversity OF
surface, vegetation and race, said tue
speaker, than that located between the
Black and Caspian seas. Here are repre-
scented the Aryan race, together with the
MongOls, Romans Arabs and the oppressed
of all nations who have came to the mount
aims to worship in peace. They live IN
small homlets from 5000 to 9,00Jfeet above
the sea level, and are a hospital, courage
Gus, fearless, and yet gentle people, not
altogether devoid of sentiment They are
fond OF music, as can be determined from
the fact that the CaucasianS chant even
their PRAYERS. The mountain scenery and
the peculiar custom of the mOuntaineers
were described. The plates they use in
eating are made of -four and baked. After
serving the purpose of platters they are
eaten for bread. and the table cloth serves
as the bed quilt, so that whenever you
want to retire" said the speaker, you cal
up the plates and crawl under the table
cloth" The Caucasus has been called the
Russian Switzerland
At the close of the lecture number of
views were thrown upon the canvas de
scriptive of the scenery along the EolSa.
