The Siberian Mosquitoes.


During the short summer the tenn
Perature rises, rapidly reaching sc
dogs. +. But with the warm season
come the mosquitoes, which are a
plague Of these regions more difficult
to endure than cold. ! never you'd
have believed that the insects could
appear in such swarms. They literally
darkened the light, filling the air with
an incessant noise, covering, as with
a black mantle, our horses, whose
TANKS were soon bleeding al! over.
Maddened with pain, the horses kicked
and reared. out seeing that all was un-
availing, they dropped their heads and
submitted to the inevitable.
In vain we tried to protect ourselves
with wells, travelling, Notwithstanding
the hot weather, in winter gloves and
overcoats. The mosquitoes penetrated
through the sleeves, under the shirtS
singing the breast and the body,
which ached as if burned with fire.
The we struggled to get rid Of
sur tormentors- the more we opened
the way to thousands more Of them.
On arriving al the huts of the Yakus
we kindled a great fire, which made
such a smoke that it pricked the eyes
and chOked the breath, though we lGy
stretched on the eartheu floor. The
mosquitoes disappeared, but as soon as
the smoke dispersed a little now
swarms penetrated into the hut cover
ing all Of Us thickly.-Cor Moscow

He Changed the Day.

The story is told of the late ssPig Iron"
Kelley that on one occasion a Young
woman, the daughter of an old Pennsyl-
vanian, who had been one of Kelley's
political lieutenants, applied to him for
a position, which he promised to secure
for her the next day. On the following
morning, when the young woman called
on the judge, he had forgotten all about
her case, but upon being reminded, apol-
ogized profusely and told her to ''call
tomorrow. The judge kept this up for
nearly month, when the young woman
lost her patience. On the occasion of
her last visit the judge, who was very
absentminded, did not catch her name
as the servant announced her presence
in the parlor and, walking hurriedly into
the room, shook hands with her and be-
gan the old formula.
"My dear young lady, am very busy
today; you will really have to call to-
morrow" "But, judge" she protested,
"that is what you have told me for a
month. l have come almost every day,
and you have invariably told me to call
tomorrow. 81 beg your pardon, am

The Family Of ToIstoI.

A Danish writer, who has visited
Tolstoi at his country seat, gives some
interesting particulars about the nov
elist g nine children, and thefr opinions.
The eldest son aged 81, has taken the
degree of doctor of philosophy, and
has accepted an official appointment
on the State Prisons board in order
that he may avoid the appearance of
too emphatically opposing his fathers
opinions, which he does not share.
He is a musician and composer, in
heritlng an ardent love OF music from
his father. The next son, lila, is
married and lives quietly on his estate
in the province of Tula. The third
believes more in his fathers doctrines
than any other of the family. The eldest
daughter, Tatjana, is no adherent to
her fathers teachings. She is artistic
and paints we'll. The second, Mascha,
has chosen her fathers mode of life.
Dressed as a peasant girl, she labors;
in the fields, and gives her leisure hours
to working and caring for the poor.
There are four younger children, the
smallest ofwhomis 3years old. Coun-
tess Tolstoi, Notwithstanding the
claims of this large family, finds time
to attend to her husbands English
correspondence. The count receives
letters in four or five different languages
and always replies in that i'll which he
is addressed. His daughters help to
write the answers. The German let
tiers are dealt with by a young gen.
tleman of that nationality.

There was once q priest who had a
niece who was resolved not to marry:
Often she was asked, but she would
not listen, for she had got it into her
heart that she would not have n man
who smoked. Finally a young fellow
came and asked for her hand Her
uncle said to him: "Do you smoker"
Eyes, sir" he replied. '"rhen my
niece will refuse you, for she will not
have any one who smokes" But the
sutton said: as that all? I'll let the
smoking alone" The uncle called his
niece. She said Eyes" and they were
married.

bed and was soon fast asleep. And in
the same way every day when he
came home he never spoke, but went
straight to bed without taking any
notice of her. She thought this con-
duct strange and began to fret and
pine. Her uncle said to her one day:
s'What is the matter that you are
always sad? Does he i'll treat your"
'No, he doesn't ill treat me, but when
he comes home at night he never
speaks, but goes to bed and sleeps. In
tact, when he is in the house he never
utters a word to me-"
Then the uncle spoke to the hus-
band: "What is the matter, my son?
Are you not satisfied with my niece?''
"Oh, yes, uncle" answered he, "but
somehow when don't smoke can
not keep my eyes Open"
When the old man repeated this to
the bride, she said: eff that's it he
shall smoke" And from that time
she was never satisfied when he had
the pipe out of his mouth.

PLUCK IN A HAWK.
His Vigorous Fight With Two Hunt
ers in the Maine Woods.

His Vigorous Fight With Two Hunt
ers in the Maine Woods.
An Auburn business man and a
friend were out hunting the other day.
A big hawk flew over their heads and
they blazed away at him. The shot
broke the birds wing and he came to
the ground, alighting on his back. He
was unable to turn over and get
upon his feet, but was lively just the
same, as the Auburn hunters found
before they succeeded in killing him.
The business man placed the ram
rod of his gun in the hawk big, grasp
ing claws, all of which straightway
closed, like the jaws of an enraged
mud turtle swapping at a stick in the
hands of a mlschievous boy. With
the claws thus taken care of, the
business mans friend proceeded to
wiring the birds neck. In the earlier
stages of the operation, the harder the
friend worked the tighter would the
hawk grasp the iron ramrod and flap
his wings.
All this was fun for the hunters,
who, after a long struggle, declared
themselves winners of the scrap. They
had hardly so proclaimed when the
bird got his wind and, leaving the
ramrod viciously attacked his perse-
cutors.
As fate would have it the business
mans friend, being nearest, was the
first to catch it. The hawk lighted on
his wrist and the way he stuck there
was a caution. One claw sank deep
into the hunters wrist and he called
loud and long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some,
thing must be done, at the risk of his
life finally went to his friends rescue
He got good hold on the sunken
claw, braced his feet against g. rock.
and was successful in pulling it out
AS the claw eame out the hawk fell
back and in q moment was still in
death. They found that the birds
wings measured three feet aud ter
inches from tip to tip.-Lewiston Me-

Rock correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The birds owner.
Col. Howard johnson, occupied
beautiful residence in the suburbs,
and Jocko has shown the liveliest in.
terest in all his surroundings. 1t was
very soon found that he could not be
allowed his liberty in Mrs. Johnson's
room, as he at once formed terrible
antipathy to beautiful panther-skin
rug, in which the head is remarkably
lifelike and the moment he was
released he would make for the rug
and begin biting savagely at its eyes
and nose. He escaped from his cage
one day and almost demolished the
nose of the rug, and after that he was
chained to his perch. 1t happened
that for several days in succession the
perch stood by the wall, close beside
the electric bell. When Mrs. Johnson
touched the button Jocko took notes,
with his head on one side and a most
inquiring air, and when the servant
appeared Immediately afterward Joe
ko gave faint croak of astonish-
ment. After witnessing this perform
ance several times it was evident that
Jocko began to see some connection
between the button and the servant.
He spent great deal of time studying
his button, running his beak softly
around it, and apparently commun-
ing with himself, his mistress watching
him meanwhile, highly amused at his
cleverness, At last, whether accident
ally Or otherwise, Jocko discovered
the connection and pressed the button.
| The next moment a servant appeared,
and the little schemer Strengthened
up and said with great gravity, "JOc-
kos hungry" His mistress shouts
of laughter and the servants aston
ishment did not in the least discom-
mode him. He had rung for what he
( wanted, and insisted upon having it.
The scheme worked we'll to Jocko's
manifest delight. He rang the bell
again before half an hour, and remark
ed to the servant who answered the
call, "Well, you are daisy! Jocko
wants water!" Col. johnson is so de-
lighted with his birds accomplish
ment that he invited some friends in
to witness it last night. Jocko was
inclined to sulk at first, but brighten
ed up, and was soon working at the
button. When the servant entered
Jocko poised himself on one foot,
swung his body to and fro in most
affected, way, and exclaimed: "Hello,
Tom, is that you? Bring in another
bottle of wine, will your" Col. John
son, be it understood, is a church
member, and his minister was present,
and the colonel insists that Jocko
caught this trick before he came into
| his hands.

Protecting Vines FromFrost.

r. A. Platt, who isan old newspaper
man, but now foreman of the cele-
brated Biggs vineyard, incidentally
gave us some valuable information,
relative to the preservation of the
vine when it is subject to the frost,
AS it is known by every vinicultura-
list of the country that small particles
of frost sometimes fall in certain dis
tricts at this season of the year, and
as the young vines are very tender,
serious damages are often sustained
by its ravages in a single night. Mr..
Platt, who is considered one of our
wide-awake men, is ready for the
frost should it come. His theory,
which is said to be correct in every
sense of the word. is to have piles of
straw or manure covered with tar
placed at different points over the
vineyard, and if any Indications of
frost appear he simply touches Q
match to thematter, and the elements
for several feet above the earth's sur
face are soon composed of one dense
mass of smoke, which continues until
after sunrise, when all danger is pass
ed. This il simple, but nevertheless

Baking Powder is not at all surprising.
For thirty years the Royal has been the stand

The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its
own cream of tartar factory and the processes tor
making the only absolutely pure cream OF tartar;
it sends its product to millions of homes all over
the world, supplies the Army and Navy, the great
transatlantic steamers the finest hotels and res
taurants, and is recommended by the best chefs
and authorities on cuisine in every land Its
sale is larger than that of all other cream OF
tartar baking powders combined; it has more
friends among housekeepers than any other
similar article

Many times when going to speak on

"Oh! don't go! I am sure am going

to such a request, and anxious and
troubled lest he should fail, waited his
