Fertility of Siberia.

Siberia has II popular reputation much
like that part of America west of the
Missouri had fifty years ago, and that Of
the extreme cold in addition. The rea-
son is much the same-its immense size
But the central and southern valleys are
level plains, and said to be as fertile as
the western portion Of the United States,
and it is not unlike the west in the vari-
ely of its resources-ln minerals, timbers
and in agricultural facilities. 1t is a
marvellous treasure trove of stored up
opportunities. Its wealth is practically
unlimited. With the advantages of
railroad communication and telegraph
lines vast country is added to the
world of civilization. The cultivation
OF the land and the introduction Of all
the elaborate machinery Of enlightened
life will, as scientists depict, modify the
rigors of the climate, although in south.
ern Siberia even this obstacle does not
exist.
The great transsiberian railway from
Vladiovostock to the Ural mountains
will bring that great Russian naval
station within fourteen days journey Of
st. Petersburg, and along this route
stations will rapidly grow into towns
and offer opportunities for new and
striking development. China is also to
have railroads soon, and those on the
north will connect with the Russian
system

A Place for the Children.

The lady managers of the Worlds fair
are determined that members of their
sex who visit shall be comfortable, and
their latest project is hall or resort
exclusively for children. 1t is to have
playroom, with booths attached for
the sale of toys; a fountain or basin
where the children may sail boats; a
reading room; an assembly hall, where
lectures ON the care and education Of
children will be given to mothers, a
kindergarten and accommodations for
children left with nurses while their
mothers are absent at the exposition.
Their plan includes building two
stories high; with roof, properly guard
ed. for a playground. The cost is put
at SEQ 200, and as there is no appropria-
ton they will raise it by subscriptions,
the women of Chicago promising to con-
tribute 100000 more for the equipment
of the building. The children of the
country are also invited to give their
mites, the managers agreeing to send in
return for every dollar printed certiti-
cate of acknowledgment stamped with
their official seal.

An Ancient French Custom.

Anciently, in many parts of France,
when sale of land took place, it was
the custom to have twelve adult wit
nesses accompanied by twelve little boys,
and when the price of the land was paid,
and it's surrender took place, the ears of
the boys were pulled and they were
beaten severely, so that the pain thus
inflicted should make an impression
upon their memory, and, if required af-
terward, they might bear witness to the
sale.-Yankee Blade.

1891, to the pastorate of Seaford, Del, a
very important charge in the Whining

reaching the age of twenty, was admit

unanimous vote, having stood the best
examination in a class of twelve. His

operation for week in one Of the hotsls in

new machine is run by steam, and it re-
sembles large stationary washtub with a
circular bottom. The lower half of the ma
cnlne Is filled with boiling water, and the
top Is lifted with large iron pipe, from
which steam issues in clouds. Between The
water and the steam pipe are three cradle
shelves, fitted on bar that runs throush
the center of the machine, and is revolyed
by a crank.
The dishes to be washed are placed in
frames called baskets, each of which con
slsts OF fifteen double rows OF wooden runps
running parallel with the sides Of the ma
chine. The rungs hold the dishes firmly on
their edges. Two of the frames are filled
with dishes aud are allowed to rest on the
bottom OF the tub while scalding hot water

steady stream over the soiled dishes. From
the hot shower the two frames rise onward

steam. The third empty frame is at the
open front of the machine during the
steaming and ready for anothar

a G aaetl1 piscovery.

The captain of q coashng vessel who ar
rived at Guayamas. Mexico, recently, tolls
of strange discovery made by himself
during his last trip, says the Seattle WASH
Telegraph. He traded UP and down the
coast, doing business among the inhabi-
tants of the islands and coast villages be-
tween there andsSan Diego Cal A heavy
wind drove himTfar out of his way and
when the storm ahated he found that he
had lost his reckoning. He was out Of sight
OF shore and when he saw land bore down
upon it and found an island that was not
down on any of the charts. He sent the
boat ashore and the men returned, saying
that no one lived there, but that there
were many houses and evidences Of the
place having at one time been Inhabited.
The captain then went ashore himself
and found that the island had undoubt-
edly been swept by a scourge of
some kind. There were numerous hues but
not living thing was to be found. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that the former
residents had died in such numbers that
they had not been buried. The skeletons
were lying around the island where the
people were when death overlook them. In
one hut were found the remains of seven-
teen people, while in many others were the
bones in great numbers. They had been
dead for such a time that the bones were
beginning to decay. There were little to bo
found to show what kind of people they
were, but it is supposed that they belonged
to one of the island tribes which were so
abundant in this part of the coast fifty years
ago. or course there can only be con Mcclure
as to the probable caus of the wiping out
of an entire tribe, but the knowledge of the
fearful sweep of scourges on the island leads
to the belief that pestilence swept of the
inhabitants

Persian Journalism.

Journalism in Persia, according TO foreign
papers, is still in an infantile state. There
was not newspaper in the country, 1t
seems, until the return OF the Shah from
his trip TO Europe about two years ago. The
Partisan cabmen, in fact, were the indirect
cause Of the introduction of the great edu-
cational factor into the doninious Of Nasr-
ed-Deen. Not that the French Jehus-
who resemble their colleagues all
over the world-extolled the merits
of the press to the Shah; but his mai
esty usually saw them with newspapers in
their hands when idle, and naturally, it is
SAID, attributed their general intelligence to
this fact AS soon as he arrived in Te-
heran he established ministry of the press,
and called upon the mobiles to aid him in his
plans. As result there are twelve journals
In Persia to-day. Among them is the official
organ, Iran. The most popular papers in
the capital are the lila, Terhenk and
Ieherdn, which report the principal politi-
cal and literary news of Persia and the
countries of Europe in addition to furnish
ing their readers with translations of his
torloal and philosophical works Of western
writers. To read them, however, requires
considerable linguistic ability, as they are
printed in a mixture of Turkish Persian
and Arabic, with French and Russian
words here and there. Sheref, an illustrated
paper in Teheran, contains only portralts of
Russian and European celebrities. The
m st widely read papers among the edu-
Gated classes OF Persia are the Atkdt and
hdnun, published weekly in Constantinople
aud London respectively. The masses Of
the people unfortunately have not learned
as yet all the advantages of the newspapers,
but they are steadily gaining in influence
and one day will be a great power.

A Fompous Man Finds Himself
Among Poor Devils"

From the WASHINGTON Post.
Into police court the other day came a
large man OF pompous manners and impos-
ing mlen, and although his broad expanse
Of waistcoas was somewhat despatched
with tobacco juice, and his rubicund nose
showed familiarity with the flowing bowl =,
| still he seemed anxious to impress all be-
holders with the fact that he was gentle
man of independence and leisure. who was
casually looking over the city with a view
Of purchasing it IL it suited him. He said
that he was viewing the sights of the town,
and was casually interested in seeing how
the majestic machine of public justice dealt
with the criminal classes. Being a sort of
philanthropist, he confessed sort of lofty
interest in the poor devils" as he termed
them.
by CAD. sir, really sympathize with
these poah devils" were his exact words as
he viewed the prisoners passed in review
before the judges eye. Indeed, he talked a
great deal in this strain. Next to talking
about himself. the idea Of his own magma
nimity seemed to please him most. He
wished to see all the workings of the court,
to inspect the cells, and to talk with the
unfortunates confined therein. This priv
ileRe being denied, he took it out In talking
to everybody he met. Now, the philan~
thropist is most estimable person, consid-
cred as a whole; also charity is rightly
| considered the chiefest of the Christian Writ
tues, but when it appears solely IN the form
| of blatant benevolence of words it becomes
| bore; likewise when there is a suspicion
that all this is but a veneering it becomes
disgusting
Consequently the court officials, who had
been painfully bored by the big man, were
| not surprised to see familiar form in the
prisoners procession few DAYS later. 1t
was, indeed, the Mr.. Pecksniffn of the
former occasion; but o, how sadly altered
Gone was all his pompous, turkey gobbler
glory Gone was that oleaginous air Of
benevolence. Gone, likewise, was his
money, and even his portly form seemed
shrunken and bent. He had seen the in-
terror workings of the whole machine, and
his sympathy with the 'poah devils' in
the cell was now expended solely upon him
self,
The charge was vagrancy and drunken
ness, and, being convicted and having no
wherewithal to pay his fine, he continued
his investigation of the criminal system of
the district-yea, even to two months in the
work b ouse.
