WHEN THE1czAR TRAVELS.
Then the Russian Empire Is Turned
Upside Down.

Then the Russian Empire Is Turned
Upside Down.
Many troubles and vexations were
caused by a visit which was paid the
other day by the car to the military
camp at .Izora. Not far from the city
are a number Of mills, the workmen
at which live on the opposite side OF
the line, going home daily for their
meals. These workmen got to their
work in the morning, but were not al
lowed to the line again the whole
day, beng obliged to go without their
food or buy it III q public house. Sol
diers lined the track to keep the peo-
pie away. No traffic was allowed.
Even people who had their own farm
lands on the railroad were forbidden
to walk across. The trains from Mos
COW we're stopped, and We're sent off
all within q quarter OF an hour of
each other in the evening. The river
traffic was also entirely suspended.
1t Gan lie readily imagined what dis
comfort such suspension OF traffic &C.
clsioned, and it is only a Russian Of
ficiul who can see the good of it. On
the way back the car wanted acupof
tea. but owing to a sudden jerk of the
railway carriage the tea was upset.
The next morning, SO goes the story,
the whole line between St. Petersburg
and Izora was carefully searched by
numbers of men, ordered to find out
what had jerked the cars tea-cup!
Every time the car goes up anddown
to Peterhof the steamers have to be
decorated, traffic is suspended on the
river and occasionally even the load
ing of steamers.is stopped.

Wonderful Indian Runners.

Nevertheless they show eve then
a remarkable endurance. An Indian
has been known to carry a letter from
Guazapares to Chihuahua and back
again in five days, the distance being
nearly eight hundred miles. In some
parts where the Tarahumaris serve
the Mexicans they are used to run in
the wild horses, driving them into the
corral; it may take them two or three
days to do it, sleeping at night and
living on a little pinole. They bring
in the horses thoroughly exhausted,
while they themselves are still fresh.
They will outrun any horse If you give
them time enough. They will pursue
deer in the snow, or with dogs, in the
rain, for days and days, until at last
the animal is cornered and shot with
arrows, or falls an easy prey from
sheer exhaustion, its hoofs dropping

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid
