People Who Whistle.


"Most people look upon whistling as a
nuisance" said Herbert G.. Sutliffe, '.but
there is no doubt that q whistling man
has a good deal to recommend him. I
have q friend who is warden in a large
penitentiary. and he states that in all his
long experience he never knew a ha-
bitual whistler condemned to term in
the institution, and he says, moreover,
that although the rules as to quiet and
order are frequently broken he never re-
members to have heard an attempt at q
musical whistle within the terrible look
ing walls of the institution. Whistling
seems to be the natural safety valve Of
good spirits and satisfaction. and the
grumbling man couldn't whistle il he
tried.
II had man to work for me once who
was model in every respect except that
he kept my teeth constantly on edge by
q series Of whistling solos Of anything
but cheerful character, although the
good man was evidently trying to repro.
duce the latest operatic hits. l broke
him of the habit by continuous scolding,
but the man became SO idle and indiffer-
ent in consequence that was very glad
to encourage him to resume habit
which at first had given me so much en-
noyance. try to get out of tho way
when the spirit moves him to announce
in whistling tones some important or 70.

that as long as he whistles he will work
as hard as his hands and arms will Let

A Great ESi. La!xo In siberi>.

A Great Salt La!xo In Eiberi>.
The great salt lake at Obdorsk is {
miles wide and II miles long, yet except
in few places it is solidly rooted ove,
with deposit of salt which is getting
thicker and thicker every year.
Our guide, who is an old man, said
that he could remember when the salt
crystals first began to gather upon the
surface of the water. Year by year
owing to the evaporation of the water
the crystals became moro numerous an;1
then caked together till this great roof
formed.
In 1878 tho water beneath this sail
crystal roof found an underground out.
let into the River Obi. This lowered the
lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and the
roof.
Looking down through one of the
openings made for the purpose in the
roof, wo saw low sided small boat.
Our guide put us one at time into the
boat. We lay fat on our back and
looked up at the curiously beautiful salt
ceiling overhead. Wepropelled the boat
by pushing with our hands against the
irregularities of the roof.
The guide held long rope attached to
the boat to prevent our going too far and
getting lost-a thing he said it was easy
to do.
Many springs surround this LAKE.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there, and thus continually
adds to its thickness. After many years
the springs will probably become cholked
with their own deposits, and then the
whole will gradually become covered
with earth. and so great salt mine will
be formed-a treasure for the Siberians
hundreds of years to come.-Cor. Geo

Mustsches and Boards.

Englishmen only generation ago had
such q detestation of mustaches and
boards that the practice Of shaving all

From one extreme our clean shaven f.
theirs plunged into the other, and boards
and mustaches rapidly became the fash
