Russia In Asia.

Most of the towns and cities of Eastern
Siberia are important only because they
happen to be situated in q thinly popu,
lated country, but Irkutsk is city
which would attract attention anywhere.
As seen from the western edge of the
forty or fifty miles of table land which
lie between it and Baikal lake, it has
quite an imposing appearance. The plain
below is covered for considerable dis
lance with the white buildings Of the
city, the stately towers of numerous
churches standing far above the rest, their
crosses cleaning in the sunshine, thei,
bases partially concealed by the luxuriant
foliage of the trees which have been
planted around them.
The beautiful Angara river is seen n
the suburbs, curving half way round the
city on its way from Baikal to the Yene-
sci. Little steamers ply ON it between
the city and the lake, but numerous
rocks and rapids make the navigation of
the lower courses OF the Angara impos.
sible: otherwise, through this river and
the Yenesei, Irkutsk would have the adj
vantage of q continuous waterway to
Europe. The population of Irkutsk is
not lees than 10000. 1t is the capital of
the province and the residence of the
governor general of the immense territory
comprised IN the two provinces of Irkutsk
and Yakuisk. Il London News.

i" The Inca's Eyes"

In August, 1868, an American ship,
the Kearsage, was within three miles Of
the Peruvian shore. when an earthquake
took place. Officers from the ship, after
aiding the inhabitants, set about investi-
eating the attendant phenomena, and
discovered tomb with several Peruvian
mummies which the earthquake had laid
bsre. These mummies, as is generally
known. are simply dried up, as in the
great st. Bernhard and certain Ital-
ian cloisters. On removing the
bandages from the head, there fell
out two hard, oval bodies, flattened at
one end, the material being arranged in
concentric layers around q central kerr
mel or nucleus. These were the so-called
1nca's eyes. These have now been
tested by w. 8. Miller, who concluded
at first that they were composed Of am
Der. After soaking them awhile in
glycerine, q microscopic examination
showed that they were the eyes Of some
animal. There was still no clew TO its
identity, but after part of one eve had
been soaked in distilled water : few
days. it emitted . fishy smell. This IVES
an indication which led to ito identiAca-
kion - the eye Of . cutie iish-a Asb

Blaming the Dentists.

''Talk about the exports of gold up
'etting our financial SYSTEM" said the
economic reformer, as he bit crescent
out of doughnut in Park row lunch
bazaar. ut isn't the exporting that is
driving our gold out of our treasury.
No, sir. The trouble 10 with the plug
gers. They are ramming q cool 81, OOO,-
BOO worth Of gold away into the back
teeth of the American people every year.
That means just SO much of the yellow
metal lost to trade and commerce every
twelve months-lost completely and ire
srievably. This must be stopped. Let
Congress pass law prohibiting the use
of gold in filling teeth, and the monetary
pressure will begin to ease up in no time.
When our gold is drawn away from us
by business transactions with foreign
nations, we can get it back in due time
through the natural processes of trade,
but when it is plugged away in the cav
srnous molars of our purse proud dudes
and millionaires it is locked up so tight
that writ of foreign attachment couldn't
reach it. This business must stop, or
the government will slump before the

Ancient and Modern Guns.

An engineer, after visiting the cara.
guns of that vessel were silent witnesses
40 to the limited advance in the science
of ordinance, but bore potent testimony
OF the advance in the mechanic art
"Here," said the engineer, sis built
up, breech loading gun; it has centra
tube, on which jackets are shrunk To-,
fcrged) in short sections; at the joints
between these sections there are Other
iron bands, tightly shrunk. The breech
block. which is chambered, contains the
cartridge; it is held in place by key OF
wedge. This gun is certified to be fac
simile of those actually used by Colum-
bus on board the Santa Marin.
1.-THE difference between this gun and
those now being built, and about which
We read such interesting accounts, is in
magnitude, not in principle. The mole.
cular strain in forging or casting OF
great size led to the abandonment of cast
guns and the adoption of built-up guns
in our generation. 1t seems evident that
as the cupolas advanced in size and the
moulder's art progressed, the cast guns
of large size became practicable; but
with the increased internal pressures de.
manded the castings reached their limit,
and built-up guns became essential.
1.-THE gun of to-day is composed of q
central tube, on which are shrunk
hoops in shorter sections. Its breech
block is held in place by slotted screw,
which is but another form of the wedge,
being circular inclined plane.
"The difference between the guns Of
Columbus's ships and those of our day il
due almost exclusively to the mechanic
arts; to the steam engine as the power
furnaces and cupalos, the hammers ani
the lathes as the tools, and to the brawny
sons of toll who work these machines
The advance has been gradual, and II
wrought by mechanics and draughts
men, and the claim that gunnery or thai
ordinance belongs to the occult scienc,
pales before the scrutiny of common
sense observation. "-[Scientific Ameri

In tremble and for the first time in
his life his mind became suddenly
clouded, his ideas grew dim and shad-
him.
In few moments he rose and hur-
r1ed away on some pretense or other,
Sinking out Of his friends house with
q feeling of shame that both bewildered
and terrified him. But she was beside
him; she was following him; her soft
voice was murmuring in his ear, her

enough, no author profound enough to

him in voice Of enhancing sweetness:
she sat down; she made herself at home.
He watched her, listened to her with

but the Madeleine of his imagination,
but she was just as soft and gentle and
lOvable as the real flesh and blood
Madeleine whom he had quilted in the
bower of Duclos' garden few hours
before.
lighted with the discovery of Lucien's
affection for their daughter. True,
she was yet too young to marry, just
verging as she was toward Is. but her
beauty was unfolding like flower, and
while its steady increase carried Joy to
Lncien's heat, it kept Madeleine's
mother busy frightening skirts aud
charging sleeves and corsages.
But, laughed Madam Duclos, "Mon-
sieur Lucien Is such a sensible man, 90
unlike other men. He can easily wait
q year for our dear child"
Madeleine was not tall, but her figure
was possessed of that delightful round
ness which has inspired more sudden
odes, more vaudevilles than dramas.
At first glance one might have been in
clined to use that rather vulgar but
really technical term, dumpy. Very
small and shapely hands and feet, black
hair naturally wavy, black eyebrows
almost meeting above the nose, which
had the gentlest of upward tilts, like
one of Pater's or Watteau's shepherd
esses, large eyes gloriously deep and
dark, with the bistre tone above them
and the pearl tint below, cheeks rosy
red and teeth as white as July almonds
such was this child-woman. Place
some red roses in those black tresses,
wrap lace mantilla about that face,
set a fan in motion in one of those
hands and drape that round but flexi-
bic form with a shortened skirt and
you would have an Andalusian, not that
dark-skinned marchioness sung by De
Musset, but that trim and lively An
dalusian painted by Goya and set to
music by Rossini.
Madeleine was the daughter of her
mother. If you had gone far enough
back you would have found one Of her
ancestors among the builders of the
Alhambra, possibly even living be-
meath its roof. 1t was rich blood,
therefore, OF the color of melted coral
which coursed through her veins. And
yet close observer would have noted
the changes which the loss of the
southern sun had wrought in this
transplanted type.

friend Of Lucien's upon hearing of his
betrothal to Mademoiselle Duclos, that
he really intends to marry this child,
this mere promise of q wOman?" And

Making Postage Stamps.

Every part of postage stamp making
is done by hand. The designs are en-
graved on steel, 200 stamps on a single
plate. These plates are linked by two
men, and then are printed by girl and
q man on a large handpress. They arc
dried as fast as printed and then gummed
with a starch paste made from potatoes.
This paste is dried by placing the sheets
in steam tanning machine, and then the
stamps are subjected to a pressure OF
1900 tons in hydraulic press. Next
the sheets are cut SO that each one con.
tains 100 stamps, after which the paper
between the stamps is perforated, and
after being pressed the sheets are filed
away. If single stamp is injured,
the whole sheet is burned Il Pioneer

CHAPTER I.

Lucien Barthelemy was what tho
world commonly calls an eccentric man.
While he didn't affect to despise ordi-
nary people, yet he seemed to have no
desire to mingle with them, no doubt
considering himself better company.
So one Of his friends said of him:
can't exactly say that his presence
among US is depressing, yet the truth
Is we don't amuse ourselves 80 we'll
when he Is with us. He weighs upon
our spirits. Not that he says anything
unpleasant-far from it; but still, in
spite OF efforts to the contrary, we are
not quite ourselves when Lucien Is
with US. His wine is always two-thirds
water, he orders only one dish, he
doesn't use tobacco in any form, he has
an aversion to hunting-doesn't want to
kill anything, he says. Nevertheless,
he Is not q bad fellow. He can laugh
when he chooses, especially when there
are any children about. He prefers
their society, he puts himself on their
level. Lack OF confidence in himself?
Oh, no; he is graduate of the college
OF medicine, he has wonderful knowl-
edge OF books, and always has a book
thrust into one of his pockets, but
never reads when in company, for he
is deep student of human nature, so
much so that he seems to have been
acquainted with every one in the world
when he first came into it, and that he
IS merely meeting you again when you
are first presented to him, for, without
any useless preliminaries, he at once
chooses topic of conversation which
Is interesting to you.
Il can't tell you," continued this
friend, what Lucien's religion is. He
never goes to church and yet he and
the cure are the best of friends. Only
once was he ever seen at mass. It was
a mournful occasion, the death of his
mother. Everyone was in tears ex-
cepting Lucien, yet he loved his mother
dearly. In the last year of her life
she had not been able to walk. Lucien
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1893-09-27

had carried her about in the open air
for hours every day. You know he is
superbly built and has the strength of
a giant, and had amused her as she lay
in his arms like child by telling her
fairy and other stories with an arch
grace and delicate pathos that would
have made publishers fortune if the
stories could have been taken down by
a stenOgrapher. At times she would
fall asleep. Then he would lay her
on a bench, sit down beside her and
draw forth the ever-present book.
His mother was a woman of strong
character, and at her request her son
gave her due notice of approaching
death. The entire night preceding
her dissolution Lucien sat alone by
her bedside. This was as she desired.
Everyone else was sent to bed.
"'TO die murmured Madam Bar
thelemy, is not such difficult thing
to do, nor SO agreeable . sight that it
should be necessary to keep people
die under the same roof with them. l
have need of no one but my son. l
brought him into the world; it is
quite natural that he should aid me in
leaving it. I have no such claim upon
the Others
II have often asked myself" said
this friend, what they talked about
on that last night, which must have
been a long one, and at the end of
which Madam Barthelemy passed
away gently, quietly, peacefully, with
out pain or a pang, her sons hand
clasped in hers. No; the cure was not
called in, but he had dined with Lucien
the day previous at the bedside of the
sick woman. When, a few weeks after,
spoke to Lucien in admiration of this
beautiful passing away of his mother,
he replied in low voice:
- Everyone can die in the same way;
all that is necessary is to give five
minutes thought to death every day of
ones life.'
And do you think that we shall
meet again.? asked.
There can be no doubt of it, he
Where, how, in what form?' I
g 4 don't know was his answer, and
the reason why don't know is because
it is no affair of mine
50 Then why do you affirm that we
shall meet again?'
Because know we shall" he said
calmly.
"Lucien was one Of those men who,
while not arguing to the point, are
none the less convincing.
"Was it at all surprising" continued
this friend of Barthelemy's, shat
Lucien should have peculiar notions on
the subject OF marriage? I think not.
Anyway he did have such notions. I
have it from his own lips. Said he to
me one day:
Il want to impress upon your mind
firmly that l am not one of those who
think that in q civilization like ours
perpetual bonds should be laid upon q
human being, no matter with what
solemnity the contract may have been
entered into. Fate has not the power
to modify the past and man has no
right to speak for the future. Let sig
natures support what they are set un-
der in commercial transactions, but
this cannot be so in moral cOmpacts,
subject as they are both to the vari-
ability of our ideas and our feelings.
These compacts must be purely volun-
tary, and It IL the souls inaliensble
right TO take posssasion q ITSELF again
