THE SIBERIAN MASSACRE.

The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the London Daily News says the
Russian government has been disa-
greeably impressed by the meetings
which have been held in England and
America to denounce the outrages
committed upon exiles in Siberia
correspondent in Siberia sends the
details of the Irkutsk affair. He says
that the prisoners involved in the
affair were exiles who were suspected
of having been concerned in the ex-
pIosion at Zurich last March. They
were allowed to live without re-
straint IN Irkutsk and easily found
employment among sympath1zers
who are opposed to the Russian
system of exiting political PRISONERS
to Siberia All went well until the
police discovered that the exiles were
printing proclamations and sending
them to Moscow As soon as the
authorities learned what was going
on, the leaders among the ex1les were
sent TO labor in the mines, and the
others were told to prepare them
selves for journey into the interior.
The unfortunate prisoners appealed
in vain, and at last resolved to sell
their lives dearly. Barricading them
selves in a house they awaited an
attack They had been well provided
with arms and ammunition by
friendly Siberians and they received
the troops who were sent to capture
them with a heavy fire. Several
soldiers were killed by the first vol
lev. \ fierce fight cnsued, the
besieged exilcs holding out until
majority of their number were either
kiIld or wounded. Afrer it was all

A MOVING LAKE OF ICE.

The Muir glacier, SO named after
Professor John Muir, the noted ge
ologist, who has described it most
satisfactorily, is the most wonderful
of the glaciers in southeastern Alas
ka. 1t is forty miles long, and is
moving at the rate of sixty feet day
through the basin of the mountains.
The greater portion of this crystal
river, about an eighth of mile wide,
IS biIlowed into rounded hills and
beetling prccipiccs, quite resembling
the sea in a storm; and at the center
it is splintcrcd into turrets and pin
nacles of amethyst, turquoise, and
sapphire tinted ice, with spires of
dead-white CRYSTAL All its surface is
rivcn by countless crcVaSSeS, in the
bottom of which streams of clear
water find their way. These chasms
are frightful gaps to anyone looking
down between their walls. From
this moving lake of ice, bearing rocks
and long lines of detritus on its sur
face, vast masses break away as it
energies from Il narrow gateway OF
mountains into the open bay. These
icebcrgs fall off from the huge glacier
and dash into the waters, making
navigation perilOus to craft OF all
kinds, even when miles away.
Among the detritus, frozen among
the ice masses, are veins of porphyry,
jasper, chalcedony, and quartz; and
blocks of finest marble, granite, and
basalt are strcwn upon the surface of
the iccbergs and the frozen lake in
which they find their source. The
traveller or explorer amid Arctic
SHOWS finds something appalling in
the frozen wonders of our cOntradic-
tory planet

MANURE FOR THE ORCHARD.

In disposing of the manure, the orchard
should not he forgotten. The prevailing
failures in growing fruit are due to ne
glect in this way more than to anything
else. Fine fruit can only be grown from
well-nOuriShed, vigorous trees, and a fair
allowance of manure spread around the
trees, not close to the stems, but under
the branches as far as they reach, will be
returned in abundant yield, and the quail
ity will be much improved The CON
slant growth of root and branch of a tree
will exhaust the soil very quickly, and
the first evidence of it will be given in
the failure of the fruit. After this will
come general weakness of the tree, stop
page of growth of wood, a crowd of suck
ers from the roots, and decay of the stem
A tree must be considered in the same
light as crop, and, as no crop is eX-
pected without manure, so the thrift of
an orchard cannot reasonably be looked
for unless it is marured st least as often
as a cropped field is. Experience has
proved abundantly that manure is indls-
pensable for the production of fruit, and
the best kind of it is insured by adequate
feeding of the trees.-Ncc York Times

CUBA AND ANNEXATION,
A Havana Editor Imprisoned for Ex-
pressing His Views

The agitation in favor of the annexation of
Cuba By the United States has at last
reached crisis in the former country. The
journals which have been openly and boldly
advocating annexation, encouraged ap
parently BY public sentiment and immunity
from interference by the authorities, have
received q W arning which has checked their
utterances. The Havana journal, La Tordo,
which has been conspicuous for its vigor-
Gus denunciation Of the Government and
advocacy OF independence or annexa-
ion, capped the climax recently by
saying: THE Spanish Government by its dis
graceful and ruinous administration of af-
fairs in this island has done more than any
thing else to throw Cuba into the arms OF
The United States" The editor Of the paper
was arrested shortly afterward and put in
prison. Other journals are now more
cautious, but agitation among the people is
stronger than ever.

FEEDING HORSES.

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses, especially farm horses, should be
taught that the stomach of a horse is not
like the rumen of a COW, mere receptacle
for food, but an essential organ of diges-
ton OF limited capacity, which does not
need to be cTammed in order to perform
its proper functions, and that it cannot
be so treated without danger to the ami
NAL; that the teeth Of the horse are pro-
vlded for the purpose of masticating the
food, and that the food which does not
require mastication should be sparingly,
if ever, used. He further recommends
that no horse be put to work Immediate
ly after full meal, and where a horse
has done heavy days work it should be
stand in the stable until it is cool and
comfortable before being fed. A little
water may be given, and if a little good
hay be put into the rack it will occupy
his attention, and beside requiring proper
mastication will further have the effect
to slightly stimulate the stomach to Sc
erection, and to prepare it for the recep-
ton Of the feed which is to follow.
Should horse require more food than
usual tC supply the extra waste of It's
sues caused by hard work, give it by all
means. but let it be in excess in its aIbu-
minoids, and let the horse be fed cftener
and not in increased quantities at g time.
