UNDER THE SNOW.

Nor Can Their Bodies BE Reached Before
the Warm Weather.
HoT SPRINGS. s. d., Jan. 25.-A re-
port reaches here of terribly fatal
snow-slide, which occurred in the noun
tains north of this place ten days ago.
Seven Italian miners, who had been
working in the coal mines below this
town and Deadwood, started to
cross the range and go into
the city to buy supplies.
While descending the mountain an
avalanche started and came down upon
them with frightful rapidity. They
saw their danger and attempted to es-
cape, but the snow poured down with
such speed that it was impossible for
the men to get out of the way and all
were caught and carried to the bottom
Of the mountain, where they had about
forty feet of snow piled on top o1
them. Two of the men succeeded in
getting out and made their way tc
town. where they told their story and
a rescuing party at once started out tc
try to find the bodies When they
reached the spot it was found that an.
other slide had come down on top o1
the first and had covered the men still
deeper, and it was impossible to dc
anything in the way of getting them

Three Of Every Four

Diseases which afflict mankind are due
to disorders of the blood. In fact, if the
vital fluid is kept in good condition, the
tendency to any disease is lessened by
three.fourths. A harmless vegetable
remedy, which cleanses the blood, should
be taken occasionally by every one. In
the young, it assists in the development
of the body and mind. In the adult, it
helps nature to keep up the equilibrium
of strength, which is taxed by the labor
and cares of life. To the old and those
with the infirmities of age, it is invalu.
able for it's tonic and strengthening
powers, to prevent diseases which are
SO often fatal to old people. This rem
edy is Swift's Specific Is. S.S) 1t clears
out all the germs and poison, and builds
up the human organism. We will mail
free valuable book to all applicants.

The Land of the Olive and Pig.

Some parts of Australia seem to be
admirably suited for the growth of the
olive. Mr.. Principal Thompson, of
Dookie, says in recent report that
seven hundred olive trees planted in
that district are robust and healthy,
and that they produce splendid oil. He
strongly recommends the planting of
the olive around the vineyards and
homesteads for shade and shelter and
to give picturesque appearance to the
rural home. Apart from the making of
oil he believes it would pay handsomely
to grow olive berries to feed pigs alone.
Last winter the pigs at Dookie (about
eighty head) were allowed to eat up
the fallen berries in the olive grove;
they had no other food for upward of
two months, and throve amazingly,
their skins having peculiar shining
appearance, characteristic of animals
being well fed

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
How the Troops OF the Cyar Are Lodged,

How the Troops OF the Cyar Are Lodged,
Clothed and Fed.
visited the other day one of the
standing camps occupied by Russian
troops during the summer months, says
o writer in the British Army and Navy
Gazette, and was given every oppor-
tunity of seeing what hind of life the
Russian soldier leads when under cam
vas. The camp lay q couple of miles
outside tho garrison town, on high open
ground, with rife ranges close at hand.
1t was neatly laid out and kept in first-
rate order. The passages between the
lines were shaded by small trees, the
tents were roomy, and each contained
from ten to twelve men. The tent Is
really an awning, supported by four
side-polcs and one center-pole, spread
over foundation made Of four earthen
walls about three feet high. The men
sleep on mattresses, which are laid on
a wooden construction like our guard
room beds. Down the center of this
tent is passage, and at the end furthest
from the door is an arm-raclt. Like in
every Russian house, the "kona" or
picture OF some saint occupies a prom
incnt position. Ono I saw in a color
sergeant's tent was decidedly valuable.
The dress worn by the men is very cool
and comfortable. 1t consists Of round,
fat cap like our sailors wear. q white
linen frock gathered in ut the waist by
a black leather belt, with black
trousers fitting into lrnce-boots. The
number on the mans cap shows to what
regiment he belongs; the number on his
shoulder-straps indicates the division
his regiment forms part OF. The only
ration soldier receives is a nine-pound
(eight English pounds) loaf of black
rye bread every third day, the baking
of which is done regiInentally. His
further messing Is provided for by an
allowance from the government, the
expenditure of which is controlled by a
committee Of officers. In this camp it
was five copeclss Zone and a quarter
pence) day per man, and it was suffi-
cient to supply him with half pound
of meat, meal for porridge, suet for
Cruel, and vegetables. This may seem
rather incredible, but the contract
price OF meat is at present eight CO.
pecks two pence) II pound, and other
provisions are cheap in proportion. No
fixed breakfast is provided; the soldier
makes the best Of his rye bread, brews
his own tea, or buys cup in the can
teen. At eleven dinner Is supplied
consisting of ''stehi"-a vegetable and
meat soup-and porridge. The former
is excellent. At seven each man is
served out with Cruel. A drink called
''lsyas," q non-intoxicant brewed from
corn, is supplied ad libitum at both
these meals. Government provides the
soldier with canteen, knife, and
spoon. Nature provides him with a
fork. The mearls are served up in a
roomy shed, with tables and forms, ad-
jacent to- the cooll-houscs.

ENGLISH TAClTURNiTY.
Loud Lament Over the Destruction Of the
British Veil of Privacy.

Loud Lament Over the Destruction OF the
British Veil of Privacy.
The loss of our character for taciturn-
ity means much more than the world
thinks. asserts writer in the Specta-
tor. Bit by bit the veil of our privacy
Is being dragged from us, until soon not
a rag will be left For q long time GER
tain journals have arrogated to them
selves the right Of ipquisition into the
innermost chambers of our houses, and
of detailing to the world at large the
most private and intimate affairs of any
one who has the misfortune Of attract
ing public attention. Now even the
chance stranger fancies that he pos
sesses the right to question and cross
examine an unoffending mortal who
crosses his path, and if the reluctance
or the impatience of the latter bctrays
him into any brusqueness Of answer
to punch his head. Possibly the evil
will some day bring about its own rem
edy.
In the meantime we are left to mourn
the loss of our privacy, and very seri-
Gus loss it is. The individual seems to
have no rights to-day, not even that of
remaining silent if he chooses; appar-
emily he is liable to be heclSled by the
first chance conner on the subject of his
political opinions, his health or his do
mestic affairs, and he must answer or
suffer the penalty Of personal violence.
Moreover, it is to be feared that the
laws will not support him if he takes
the law into his own hands and an
swers interrogation with abuse; and
vet what other refuge is there left to
him? He cannot bring an action
against the man who robs him of an
hours peace by silly and futile conver.
sation. Taciturnity and reserve will nc
longer serve him-if he takes refuge in
them he is regarded as an insolent fel
low and bad citizen. He must not
only march with his age, but he must
Glso shout with it. 1t is grand age,

not so full of speech or so loud of voice

RAILWAY PASSES.
People Who Ask for Them and
How Thoy Are Troated.
The Unenviabie Task That Railway Of
Hcials Have to Perform in Dealing
with Importunato Pass
Ftends.

"Cong,essrncn seldom ask us FOR free
passes" said railway man to Wash
ington Star reporter. ''On the other
hand the clerks attached to committee
rooms and the private secretaries OF
prominent men are most frequent
among our petitioners Do they get
them? Not usually. You see, in dis
pensing such favors we consider chiefly
the question whether the applicant Is
able to do the road any service.
ut is very funny to observe how gen.
eral the impression seems to be among
applicants for passes that they are able
to be of service to u.s. You would
imagine from the way they talk that
most Of them are the very pillars Of the
road. They declare very often that
they individually throw into our hand
thousands of dollars worth of passcn-
ger traffic, and on the strength of that
plea they demand free transportation
for themselves. Such persons as these
are to be found lurking by dozens
around the hotel corridors.
1--WE find very many applicants of this
sort among the people in the depart
ments Once having got pass they
have acquired a taste for travelling free
Of charge. and they do not like the no
ton of paying their way any more. It
is astonishing how the habit of journey
ing by rail gratis grows upon the indi-
vidual. knew q Philadelphia man
once upon time who had an annual
pass between Philadelphia and Harris
burg. Having little occasion to travel.
he did not use his privilege at all until
fb, 1>of Z,
but during that week he did nothing
but travel back and forth between Har-
risburg and Philadelphia, just for the
sake Of the feeling that he was getting
something for nothing.
'Tramps used to apply to us very
often, but our way to get rid of them
has always been to send them to the
sanitary Office. That office, as you are
aware, has an arrangement with the
railways for sending out of the district
any persons who desire to get away,
preferring to do this rather than permit
them to become charge upon the COM
munity. Such people we grant half
rates. Among the impecunious un-
fortunates who ask for passes are nu-
merous candidates for situations in the
government service who have failed to
secure places. They have come here
perhaps comfortably supplied with
money, but have gradually expended
it while vainly pursuing the official
will-o'-the-wisp. Finally they get dead
broke and make plea for transporter
tion on the ground of the presumptive
benevolence of the corporation. To
show them that this is a mistake ON
their part, we steer them to the channel
afforded all penniless strangers for get
ting out of town."

class, who had to stay away because she

the garments, but the next week the
pupils place in Sunday school remained
vacant, to the wonder of her kind-heart.

THE WORLDS BIC RIVERS.
There Are Twenty-Five Over One Thou,
sand Miles In Length.

sand Miles In Length.
Geographers claim that there aro
twenty-five rivers on the globe which
have a total length of over 1000 miles,.
says the St. Louis Republic. OF these,
two-the Mississippi, from the source
OF the Missouri in the Rocky mountains
to the Eads jetties, and the Amazon,
from the source of the Beni to the isle
OF Marajo-are over 1000 miles in
length; to be exact, the former is 1900
and the latter 1920 from the source to
the places where their waters are min
gled with those Of the ocean. Four
claim total length Of over 5000 and
under 1000. They are the Yenesei in
Asia, length, $3.50 miles; the Kiang,
also in Asia, 5000 miles; the Nile,
Africa, 3,240; and the Hoang-Ho, the
third monster Asian stream, which is
3.040 miles from source to mouth.
Seven streams on the globe are under
5000 and over 1000 miles in .lcngth-the
Volga, In Russia, and the Amoor, in
Asia, each being $500 miles in length;
two are 2,S00 miles long, viz, the
Mackenzie, in British America, and the
Platte, in South America. The Rio,
Bravo, in North America; the Rio Ma
deira, in South America, and the Niger,
in Africa, are each 2,3OO miles from end
to end. The Arkansas river Just comes
| inside of this 2.OO0-mile limit, with a
length of 1850 miles. Ten of the great
rivers of the world are over 1000 and
under 1900 miles in length Three of
| these arc in North America, viz, the
| Red river, 1880; the Ohio, 1,4SO, and the,
st. Lawrence, 1,450. South America
has also three in this lst--the Rio
Negro, 1,C50, the Orinoco, LOCO, and the,
Uruguay, 1,100 miles long Asia has
three in the same list-the Euphrates,
1900 miles in length, and the Tigrisl
and the Ganges, each of which is about
1900 miles in length. In the group of
great rivers the st. Lawrence is the
most remarkable. 1t constitutes by far
the largest body of fresh water in the,
world. Including lakes and streams,
the st. Lawrence covers about $4,000
square miles; the aggregate, it is esti-.
mated, represents not less than 5000.
solid miles of water. The unthinkable
size of this mass may be better compre-;
hendcd, if not fully realized, when we
consider the figures of Prof. Cyrus G.
Dinwiddie, who says that it would take
over forty years for the aggregate of
this entire mass to pour over Niagara
