A PERIlOUS TRIP.
On Foot Through Tartary, Turkestan and
Siberia to st. Petersburg.

Siberia to st. Petersburg.
1t may be safely asserted that not
one of his Episcopal brethren has ever
performed such feat as formed an ep-
ISOLDE in the early life of the newly-ap-
pointed bishop of Norwich, says the
st. James Gazette. After serving a
couple of years as curate under Dr.
Hook at Leeds, Mr.. Sheepshanks went
out to British Columbia in 1859, when
that colony was far wilder and more
isolated country than now. He did
eight years of rough work, and then
determined to come home for holiday,
at all events, electing to travel via
Japan and China, in those days by no
means familiar route. For months he
disappeared entirely from mortal ken,
and his family began TO entertain seri-
GUS misgivings as to his fate.
One evening young Cambridge man,
afterwards headmaster of we'll
known grammar-school, but tutor for
the nonce to a Russian prince, was
smoking cigarette in his rooms in st.
Petersburg, when his servant an
nounced that a moujik wanted TO see
him very urgently. The unknown Wis
itor was shown up and appeared in the
well-worn garb from which Brian
O'Lynn derived his simple but practic-
al sartorial notions. To his hosts ut
ter bewilderment this uncouth being
addressed him in refined English, and
presently explained that he was a
brother Cantab DESTROYS of securing
his good offices. The man, in short,
was Rev. John Sheepshanks, who, hav-
ing landed some six months before
near the mouth of the Amoor river,
had made his way alone and on foot
through Tartary, Turkestan and ST.
IBERIA to the banks of the Neva.

An Alligator's Nest.

AlligatorS' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to,which they
can be compared. They average abou.
feet in height and about feet in di-
ameter, and are constructed of grasses
and heritage. First the mother gator
deposits one layer of eggs on q mortar
like floor, and having covered this
with a stratum of mud and heritage
about s inches thick lays another set
of eggs upon that, and so on to the top,
there being commonly from 100 to 200
eggs in the nest. With their tails the
parents then beat down the tall grass
and weeds to prevent the approach of
unseen enemies. The female watches
her eggs until they are Matched by
the heat of the sun, and then takes her
brood under her own care, defending
them and providing for their subsis-
tence. DR.. Lutzemburg, of New Or
leans, once packed one of these nests
for shipment to st. Petersburg, but the
young Matched out before they were
started on their long journey, and were
kept about the doctors premises, run
ming all over the house, up and down.
sta irs, whining like young puppies
ALL the best mattings are now made
seamless, not joined at every yard or
so, SO that they pull apart at this weak
point.
A WISE shopper avoids the gaudy,
elaborate patterns in the new mat
tings, but rather selects simple pat
tern OF two or three colors, or a mat
ting in plain white, but of the very best
quality.
The heaviest Oriental rugs and the
Philadelphia rugs are so thick that a
slight flame which may touch them is
easily smothered. Such wooden rugs
are the only proper ones to put in front
of fire.
If there were no other objection to
the fashionable cotton rug, its extreme
infiammability would be one. In con-
nection with the hardwood floor, pol
ished with turpentine and beeswax, it
presents veritable tinder-box.

The strike of "A Sex.

The women Of Africa are taking on aa.
vanced airs and trying independent ex-
periments that rather outherod the suf-
fragists here. \ strike has taken place
among the women Of the Akona tribe,
unique in plan and definite in purpose.
They protested without avail against the
treatment Of the husbands and fathers.
Then they talked it over with the pre-.
liminary of organization. with no con.
stitution and bylaws, and appealed &c
another tribe with whom the Akona:
were not on good terms. This tribe
agreed to take in all the dissatisfied
women. and the village awakened the
next morning to find all its women and
girls gone and work at a standstill. The
result was a ready assent to all that the
wonen requested and great rejoicing
when the industrial element Of the towL
returned.-New York Sun.

THE ETIQUETTE OF STATION Itt

The latest in note paper is 4 turke.
red in color. writes an authority in
fads and fashions. The monogram Is
stamped in black or silver" continues
this autocrat. and when using this
paper one should write with a quill pen
tipped with a brilliant red feather.
Some at this season affect light green
paper. typical of spring and its young
unions: others write on seal brown sheets
with golden ink. which is also spring
like. in that it reminds one Of the burnt
lumber taste that follows balance with
the merry book of Maytime.
But after all the truly correct woman
INDUCES in none of these oddities. The
authority already quoted says:
She never allows herself any ecCen-
tricity about notes and letters. They
are written in black ink on white. cream
pale gray. or. at most. blue bond paper.
She rarely permits any perfume about
her paper. and never about her envel-
opes. When in first mourning. let us
say for her husband, the band of black
on envelopes. sheets and cards. is just
one-fou1th of an inch wide. 1t remains
that width for eight months. then.
month by month, it slowly narrows. In
the fourteenth month she begins to use
a dull. cold gray. rough linen paper;
then she softly slips into a faint laven-
der. heliotrope, violet and then pure
white"
In the entiquette Of stationery grief is
not a stationery affair. it seems. When
in first mourning. let us say for her hus.
band. the fair widow is 50 overwhelmed
with gloom that nothing less than d
quarter Of an inch Of ink will express
her feelings. After eight months. how.
ever. her anguish grows rapidly less
poignant. The black border narrows
month by month. In the fourteenth
month she begins 10 feel comparatively
ioll, her black border having faded to q
dull gray. Then she sings aloud ii
lavender. shortly after laughs solftly ii
h~cliotrope. then shouts with glee in vic
let and next is positively glad Of it il
white.
Until a second marriage brightens
her life" says our authority. THE name
and address stamped upon all her paper
no matter Of what color it may be. is
done in dull black lettering. 1t Is tht
delicate badge of wldowhood. compre
hensible to the initiated" The dul
black lettering is for the late lamentec
and the violet or white paper is for the
fondly expected. no doubt.
1t is we'll to have these things prop
erly regulated. Sentiment. like every
thing else. should 90 by rule and recipe
and there should always be ar outward
sign. that the wayfaring man. though {
fool. need not be too gay al a sombrt

TO LET.


We've lived here five years, and you
haven't lost Il dollar by us. When George
comes home. he'll have the money" said
the little woman who, with her small
family. occupied the house.
Il want my money when it's due. not

landlord. TIN losing flesh and turning

shuffled off.
Its dead mean," said the little wom-
an. Hes a shark. that's what he is.
I'd like to see him get me out when pay

minute"
Then she sat down and formulated a
little woman's plan of action. which is
always victorious.
'.Ting-a-ling-a-ling' at the doorbell.

"Yes, ma'am."
"Can l go through it,"
Certainly. Walk right in"
Then the little woman opened a door.
This is the parlor. It's new papered.
We did It ourselves on account of the
dampness."
"Oh. is the house damp? Is that why
you are moving:"
Here's "a bedroom of-very conven-

JEFFERsONyILLE Ind

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, is men.
toned as the Mecca of clipping
couples who ran away because it was
cheaper to do so than to have suita.
BILE wedding at home. A marriage
occurred recently at Jacksonville
romantic enough to make one forget
the prudent motives of a dozen other
couples. Miss Price was the daugh-
ter of a rich Kentucky farmer who
had determiped that she should be
an old maid. She had lover. for
whom she left note in the corner of
a certain field every day, receiving
one in reply. Finally the lover, with
the assistance Of doughty colonel
and two female friends, stole the
lady from her chamber window at
night. The romance is all complete.
for the rope ladder and the covered
carriage and impatient team were all
brought into play. The lovers were
welded in Jacksonville and all that
is now wanting is the forgiveness of
the brides father. This he cannot
withhold, for byso doing he would de-
stroy the symmetry of the story. No
old man would be so mean as that.

Owing to the discovery that the
bullets of the new Mannlicher rifles
have an explosive effect, and in view
of the international Red Cross edict
against explosive prOjectiles as "bar-
barOus and unfit for civilized war
fare" Austria is experimenting with
some new ammunition for her small
bore rifles. There seems to be some
thing ludicrous about a condition of
human society which brings about
the solemn conclusion that it is all
right to kill men, but prescribes that
the killing shall be done in a neat
and scientific manner. If the ma
tions can agree not to shoot explosive
bullets at each other, why isn't it
just as easy to agree not to shoot any?

ment. 1t consists of a frame or
chair in which the condemned mans
body is securely fastened. The head
is then set tightly in a metal or
leather cap, which is connected with
machinery so arranged that at a
given signal the criminals head can
be whirled about two or three times
rapidly on his shoulders. The ad-
yantages of this device can be seen
at once. 1t would never fail to work
and would be absolutely painless
after the first whirl.

PATRIOTIC people are still calling
attention to the need of a true ma.
tional air for the United States
They assert that every one of the
several tunes that are made to do
service in that capacity was borrowed
from foreign countries, not even ex.
cepting yankee Doodle" Why not
have one Of our poets write some
stirring words to "Ta-ra-ra- boom-de.
aye" and adopt that? 1t is conceded
on all sides that the air originated in
the United States, though Lottie
Collins was first to perceive its mer-
its and set it spreading from the Lon
don dance halls. 1t would make
splendid tune to march or fight by or
to raise popular enthusiasm on any
public occasion, and it seems to be
distinctly American in spirit.

IHE new immigration law that has
just gone into effect draws the lines
closer than any previous legislation.
1t does not enlarge the excluded
classes, but it provides for much
strlcter examination than has hereto
fore been made. The immigration
laws to date have not been very
effective. They prohibit the entrance
of certain undesirable classes. but the
machinery they have furnished for
sitting out these classes from the de-
sirable immigrants has been most i'm.
perfect. The matter has been left
largely to the customs and immigra-
ton officers. These officers, especial
~ at New York, the main port OF
entry for the immigrant traffic. have
had little sympathy with the objects
OF the law and have avoided execut-
ing it strictly. Yet even this law re-
suited in sending back 2.s0l immi-
grants last year aud made the steam
ship companies more careful about
the passengers to whom they sold
tickets. The new law sets up a
double system Of examination and in
spectiOn, first by the steamship com.
panies in Europe and again BY the
Government inspectors on arrival.
Blanks are 10 be I'LL out for each i'm
migrant giving something in regard
70 his history and circumstances, the
amount Of money he brings, his Do
sition and character and other points
OF interest. Congress Is evidently
looking toward excluding illi:erates.
as one Of the questions prescribed is
in regard 10 the ability Of the immi-
grant to read and write. The ex.
clusion Of illiterates would al once
shut of the largest part Of the unde-
sirable immigration. In this day OF
free schools in all civilized nations
the adult who has not learned 10 read
and write lis own language is not
likely 10 prove valuable aQuisition
