Longest Railway In the World.


1t is the trans-Asian railway of Siberia,
which the Russian government is build
ing at an estimated cost of secs 900, 900.
The figures will mount higher than that
before it is completed, however. From
Nladivostock, the Russian seaport on the
Pacific. east coast of Siberia, westward
TO Cheliabinsk, on the east side of the
Ural mountains, the projected line will
measure 4 $50 miles in length. The west
ern end of the line from the Ural noun
tains eastward is well under way now.
Although 1897 has been fixed as the year
of completion for this whole stupendous
work, yet it is certain that the twentieth
century will dawn before it is done.
Central Siberia, which the road will
traverse, is almost as unknown to civil
lization as the middle of Africa. The
line pushes eastward and slightly north
to the capital of western Siberia, Omsk,
as its first objective point. OInsk is
about 500 miles from the Ural noun
tains. Through barren salt steppes as
desolate as the oldtime Great American
desert" the road leads to Omsk. Russia
hopes, however. to reclaim this region
just as much of the American desert has
been reclaimed through irrigation. But
northward of the line, toward central
Siberia, is Il tract which can most nearly
he compared to the great wheatfields of
| our own Dakotas, though pillow has as
yet scarcely scratched its virgin soil.
Russia proper is fast becoming over
crowded with a rural population that is
| too ignorant and BRUSH to do more
| than ruin the best of farm lands. The
| soil of Russia proper has thus been al
| ready Worn out. much of it. and the
hope of the white car now is to trans
port many of his agricultural children
over his great railway to the garden OF
central Siberia, where it will take gen
erations to strip the soil as they have
done in their old homes.
\ little farther eastward, south of the
main line, is the mining district of the
Altai mountains, where many enthusiast

or California will yet be found. Thu.

/ road, there is a reason for its existence
| For the eastern half there is no sufficient

needs it to transport soldiers and mill

dream that she can by its means bring

AFRUlT SALAD
Made of a Variety of Fruits to Suit tn
Taste.


Taste.
At every luncheon or dinner salad is
sure to be one of the dishes enjoyable,
and the cooks of the present time have
by some trick of their own converted
some of the early vegetables into that
mixture of oil, vinegar, pepper and salt
that we appreciate so much.
1t is one of the latest of fashions for
dessert at luncheon or an evenings en-
tertainment to have a fruit salad which
as a compound is most palatable and
when brought to perfection is unequaled,
This salad can be served with an ice or
ice cream and proves an admirable add
ton. By the mingling of all these flavors
as well as odors it is unsurpassed as n
savory dish, and for all housekeepers so
little trouble is experienced in preparing
it that all womankind should try it for
themselves.
Select from a number of pineapples
two that are fully ripe and juicy. If
they are specked in any way, so much
the better. After peeling them cut
them lengthwise and shred them with 4
fork until all but the core is left. Then
peel six good, sweet oranges, taking out
the seeds and cutting them IN small
pieces. Put the pineapple and oranges
together. After they are well mixed
add three pint boxes Of fine, large straw
berries. Just before serving pour over
all half pint of Jamaica rum. and you
have a salad which for dinner, dessert or
a late evenings spread will be veritable
| dish of nectar, even if it is called fruit
| salad
