A. Siberian Quarantine.

Nothing of interest happened to us
until late in the evening. when. just as
we were turning up from the river in
to small peasant village, the name of
which l have now forgotten. both we
and our horses were startled by the
sudden appearance of Withholding
man in a long. tattered sheepskin
coat, who, from the shelter of pro-
jecting cliff. sprang into the road
ahead Of us, shouting hoarse but I'M
Ineligible warning. and brandishing
in the air an armful of blazing birch
bark and straw.
What's the matter?" / said to our
driver. as our horses recoiled in fright.
Its the plague-guard," he replied.
"He SAYS we must be smoked"
The cattle-plague was then prevail
ing extensively in the valley of the
upper Yenisei and it appeared that
round this village the peasants had
established a sanitary Gordon with the
hope of projecting their own live stock
from contagion. They had heard OF
the virtues of fun CATION. and were
suhjecting to that process every vehi-
Gle that crossed the village limits. The
.plague-guard" burned straw. birch
bark and other inilammable and
smoke producing substances around
and under our pavoska until we were
half strangled and our horses were
frantic with fear. and then he told US
gravely that we were purified" and
might proceed. - George Kenaa,s in the

A CHILD'S DEATH.
Let Boys Who Are Fond of Doing This
Take Warming

Let Boys Who Are Fond of Doing This
Take Warning.
In neighboring city lived 6-year-
old boy who was the picture Of happi-
ness and rosy health. He had never
been i'll day in his life. and was of q
nature so sunny and merry that he was
remarkable. One day his mother went
home and found him deathly pale and
sobbing and catching his breath. He
sprang toward her with scream and
buried his face in her garments. From
that day the little child never laughed
again. He grew paler and thinner and
pined away. He seemed TO be over
come by some nameless terror, which
he could not explain. His parents
only knew that it was with MIN night
and day like a horror that froze his
poor baby brain. At last the little
boy died and physicians could find no
other cause for his death than that
commonly used to cover a great many
things, heart failure"
But the real cause? This sweet
gentle, merry child, beginning life with
as fair prospect as a boy could have of
living to be a noble, honorable man.
was frightened to death. During his
mothers absence he had been playing
as usual on the sidewalk near his home.
Some older boys, y and 10, who, it is
certainly to be hoped knew not what
they did, gathered around The child
and began to torture him with fright.
They told him bloodcurdling stories.
and made awful threats of what they
were going to do with him. The inno-
cent child believed every word 1t
threw him into convulSiOns and turned
his brain, and 50 he died, frightened
to death by that fearful cruelty boys
are won't to practice toward those
younger than themselves. The Daily

How Four Indian Wars Began.

The Modoc War of 1872 in which so
many valuable lives were lost. was be-
gun by the advance of a half a troop of
the 1st Cavalry. This force rode up
to the Indian camp. dismounted. and
were standing to horse. with probably
no thought of being murdered or of
any serious trouble. 1t is reported
that while the officers in command
was talking to the chief a rifle was dis
charged by an Indian, either accident
ally or as a signal, and that instantly
thereafter firing on the troops took
place and number were killed and
wounded. The Indians. about sixty in
number, taking advantage of the con-
fusion among the troops. retired to
their stronghold in the lava beds, MUIR
dering every white man en- route. In
this stronghold they delied the Gov

To Eave a Bright Lamp.

In these days When lamps are used
so much the care Of them is quite an
important matter, writes Maria Parloa
in the Ladies' Home J0urnGj. If the
lamps be good and have proper atten-
ton one cannot wish for a more salts
factory light; but if badly cared for
they will be source of much discom-
fort. The great secret of having
lamps in good working order is to
keep them clean and to use good oil.
Have IA regular place and time for
trimming the lamps. Put a folded
newspaper on the table so that any
stray bits of burned wick and drops
of oil may fall upon it. Wash and
wipe the chimneys and shades. Now
take off all loose parts of the burner
washing them in hot soap-suds and
wiping with clean soft cloth. Trim
the wicks and turn them quite low.
With a soft wet cloth. well soaped,
wipe the burner thoroughly, working
the cloth as much as possible inside
the burner. to get off every particle of
the charred wick. Now fill the lamps
within about one inch of the top. and
wipe with a damp towel and then a
dry one. Adjust all the parts and re-
turn them to their proper places
Whenever a new wick is required in
lamp wash and scald the burner be-
fore putting in the wick. With stu
dent lamp the receptacle for waste
oil, which is screwed on the bottom of
the burner. should be taken off at least
once a week and washed. Sometimes
wick will get very dark and dirty be-
fore it is half consumed. 1t is not
economy to try to burn it; replace it
with fresh one. The trouble and
expense are slight and the increase in
clearness and brilliancy will repay the
extra care. When lamp is lighted
it should not at once be turned up to
the full height; wait until the chimney
is heated. Beautiful shades are often
cracked or broken by having the hot
chimneys rest against them. Now.
when lighting lamp be careful that
the chimney is set perfectly straight
and does not touch the shade at any
point. The shade should be placed on
the lamp as soon as it is lighted, that
it may heat gradually.

Earth WOrIsl9.

Darwin estimated that worms, by
swallowing earth for the sake of the
vegetable matter it contains, and FORM
ing castings, bring to the earth as
much as ten tons of earth per annum
on an acre. Worms are great pro-
moters of vegetation by boring, perfor-
ating, and loosening the soil. and
rendering it pervious to rains and the
fibres of plants. by drawing straws and
stalks of leaves and twigs into it, and
most of all, by throwing such infinite
numbers of Jumps of earth called
worm casts, which form fine manure
for grain and grass. The earth, with
out these worms, would soon become
cold, hard bound void of fermenta-
ton, and consequently sterile. This
has occurred in many places where the
worms have been either accidentally
or Intentionally destroyed, and the
fertility of the soil thus lost has only
been restored when the worms have
been collected again and have resumed
their fertiliZing work.
