GnriefE in siberia.

my experience in Siberia was a pleas
ant and most interesting one. The peo-
pie there and the officials always seemed
TO be on excellent terms with one an
other. Almost every person / met was
either political exile, a time expired
criminal, or a descendant of one. Most
Of the officials are made up from the lat
ter class, time expired criminals not
being barred from holding Office. The
director Of the prison at Yeneseik is
political exile. and the convicts in this
country in many cases are worse off than
the exiles in Siberian town. In the
larger towns of Siberia life is not so dull.
There are excellent clubs and hotels
which political exiles and even criminals
are allowed to use. When was at Ye-
niseisk there was a Russian theatrical
company performing at one of the thea
ters, and everybody as permitted to go
10 the show, which was good one. When
balls are given at clubs or hotels the ex-
lies NAV take their wives and daughters
to dance, but are not allowed on the ball
room floor themselves. There is great
deal more of complaint out of Siberia
about the tyranny of officials than there
is inside it, and the average notions about
life in Siberia seem to me to be the out
come of entire ignorance.-Interview in
Chicago Tribune.

A Clever Stratagem.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chill a stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part Of
the Araucanian Indians and maintain
the connection between the strongholds
on the frontier There were at the time
between 40 and 50 captive Indians in the
CHILEAN camp. General Pinto called them
together, and, pointing to the telegraph
wires. said:
do you see those wires"
Yes, general.
i want you TO remember not to go
near or touch them, for if you do your
hands will be held and you will be I'M
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in sue
cession take hold of the wire at both
ends of an electric battery in full opera
ton, after which he exclaimed:
Il command you to let go the wire!"
Il can't; my hands are benumbed!"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty, giving them strict injunctions to
keep the secret and not betray it to their
countrymen.
This had the desired effect, for, as
might be expected, the experience was
related in the strictest confidence to
every man in the tribe, and the tele-
graph has ever since remained unmo-
Tested.

A LITTLE SUNBEAM.

why Tears Cam. TO the Eyes of q Los
connective Engineer.
Even in the life of the grimy railroad
engineer. whose existence is one of al
most constant danger, there sometimes
falls spark Of light and ray of human
sunshine Eliminates his smoky cab,
penetrates his greasy blouse, and findsits
way deep down into his breast.
a little incident happened down at the
mole the other evening after the arrival
OF the overland train. which, though of
simple nature, will long be remembered
by certain c. P. engineer. The great
iron monster attached to the train was
throbbing and putting sftes the long and
sinuous trip over mountain sides ana
rocky defiles. trembling trestles ana
marshv stretches. The din in the depot
was deafening. but out Of the chaos OF
sounds a sweet, girlish voice was heard
welcoming home her parents, VINO had
arrived on the train. She was lIttie
golden haired beauty, scarcely s years OF
age, with a quick, intelligent eye and
loving nature. TO which she gave full
vent in the radiant and impulsive way.
she welcomed her fond parents back.
At last they took her by the hand and
proceeded toward the waiting ferry boat.
AS they passed by the engine belonging
to the train the little one broke away,
ran up to the big black machine, and
patted the driving wheels affectlonately
with her little white hands. Looking up
at the smokestack, she said: You good,
big old iron horse. you have brought back
nv papa and mamma safe over the fear
full mountains to their little girl, and l
want to thank you, even if you don't
care for me because / am so little, and
YOU, too. she continued. turning her
face wistfully toward the grimy engineer,
who was leaning out of the cab window,
Il love you both. " Then she kissed her
hand to him and was gone like ray OF
sunshine.
Just then fieeting sunbeam from the
great orb sinking down into the Golden
Gate came stealing through chink in the
depot and stole by the engineer into his
cab. There was a strange look on his
face for an instant, and all at once the
depot was dark and lonesome. When
he turned his head into the cab there
were two light spots on the cheeks Of his
dust begrimed face.

How One Town Avoids strikes.

In Olean, \. Y, where an increase of 25
per cent in population has been provided for
within the last three months by additions to
its manufacturing industries, through the or
ganized efforts of board of trade, the cap
italists have inaugurated novel movement
which not only aids materially in the growth
Of the place, but gives such advantages to
the laboring men that the chances for strikes
and kindred troubles are reduced TO mini
mum ANY manufacturer locating in Clean
is guaranteed homes for his employees built
after their own plans, and supplied TO them
at actual value, the tenants paying thereon
the rental price OF from IS TO IS per month.
Thus is left with the laborer the option of
owning his home, or of paying rent, the
terms in either instance being the same, save
in the matter of interest upon the unpaid
portion in case of purchase. This the capi-
talist takes as his profit upon the trans
action.
In the one instance the man who buys has
his home paid for in a few years; in the
other the tenant pays in the same time
nearly as much and does not own single.
In Olean the laboring classes are not slow to
see the advantage Of buying; the manufact-
urer see the advantage of steady and reliable
labor thus afforded, and the resident capital
ISL a sure prevention of strikes and safe in
yestrnent of his money. The example OF tho
mouied men of Olean is worthy the emula-
ton of those in other towns whose growth il
retarded by the too conservative policy OF

DR.. Sokosof to me IT. Siberia, it was like 60

all combined TO give me sense Of unwonted
exhilaration- In the monastery | never
saw human being except the guard. and
rarely heard a sound except, perhaps, the
low tapping Of a prisoner in an adjoining
cell In the house of detention, on the con-

found myself in communication with every
body.
Before had been there day some one in
the cell below mine knocked out to me on the
steam pipe which ran up beside my door:
''Scoop the water cut of your BASIN went
and looked into my wash basin and found it

statiStics of Weight.

Quetelet obtained some weight records,
but very little reliance can be placed on
them. He concluded from such statistics
as he could get that a new born infant
was ON an average, one-twentieth the
weight which is acquired in middle LIE;
that during the first year after birth the
increment of weight is about one-tenth OF
all that is added subsequently, ana thas
between the 18th and Goth years more IS
added to the weight than in any other
five year period during life But indi-
vidual instances differ SO widely from the
average that very little reliance can DC
placed ON such results.
That Quetelet,s statistics of weight were
incomplete and unsatisfactory is shown
by the fact that he did not detect the IN
teresting law recently recognized, accord
ing to which the weight increases Slowly
Tor even dimiuishesl when the height Is
increasing rapidly, but increases rapid,
when the height remains nearly stauon

An Italian woman gives a sad account OF
the state of farming in the northern portions
of her country. Almost all the farmers are
tenants They furnish the team and imple-
ments, while the landlords make repairs and
pay tue taxes. The crops are equally divided.
As a rule both CLASSES have hard time. In
regard to the food and drink of the laborers
she writes; The, light pure wine, which be
fore the vine disease cost next to nothing.
and acted as a corrective to all the defects OF
diet. has been succeeded by wine which is
more heady and less wholesome, and Of which
the price places it out of the reach Of the
peasant as a daily beverage. On feast day
he may drink glass or two at the osreria;
but. being unacrastomed to it, it does him
more harm than good. and violent quarrels
are the consequence. The Italian navy is
still prodigious worker; nearly all the
greatest engineering feats of modern times
are the work OF his hand. But then, it must
be remembered that he eats and drinks better
than the peasant The rural poor can
not afford coffee, which is heavily taxed !;
their drink Is water, and not always pure
water, and their staple food is maize -four,
either prepared Us polenta or made into q
very indigestibie kind of bread. The former
is the usual and less Questionable way Of
eating it.
Maize natures so late that in wet seasons
il does not harden naturally; most Of the
rich proprietors have introduced stoves for
DRYING the grain; but the peasants are care
less and leave it out in the rain till it be-
comes uloldy. Polenta forms the unfailing
morning meal; for dinner there is sometimes
