In Terror of siberia

Sigmund MassakowslSi, Russian
refugee, committed suicide in Chicago
few days ago. rather than run the
risk of being extradited and sent to
Siberia. He had been an officer in tho
szar's army, and about four months
ago was suspected of being mixed up
in political plot, and fed from the
country. He had hoped to be able to
bring his, family from St. Petersburg,
but the Russian government forbade
them to leave the country, ant-as the
unfortunate man understood, put spies
on his track, and he was in constant
fear of being arrested for extradition.
Death, he told countryman in Chi
cago, was better then Siberia

Interesting relics of old days are
the gimrAl ring, used both for
marriage and betrothal. They were
made OF two or three movable hoops,
one of Which was worn by each Of
the lovers daring the betrothal; but
at the marriage the completed ring
was united again, and served for the
keeper or wedding ring, the hoops
being kept together by clasped
hands, and sometimes attached to a
heart In the North of Europe the
wedding ring opened in the centre,
that there was room for the finger
to enlarge with age; burt in this
case it was not of plain gold, but
cha ed and engraved. No doubt the
double and triple gimmal rings
originated in the old idea of a
bstrothal couple dividing coin,
each keeping half.

ORIGIN OF PERFUMES.


society NOW as OF NOrc.
In the early days of the world,
when man, with his usual unselhsh-
ness, was prone to make a burnt
Offering of his brother, aromatic
woods were used TO ct><nteract the
unpleasant odor of burning flesh.
Such, according to the New York
Press, was the origin of perfumes,
and their lavish use to-day is too
frequently suggestive of it. The
more of the primeval savage there
turks in man the more powerful
the contents OF his scent bottle and
the more liberal his patronage of
those BARRIERS who torture the nos
trils by their generous use of bay
rum and cheap cologne. Why men,
or women either, should want to
make walking aniseed bags OF them
selves is "A mystery explained only by
the unpleasant fact that the same
class of people have hydrophobic
dislike to water in any form, There
is no aroma so exquisite as that of
the clean, wholesome human body
and pure breath. To disguise it by
even the most delicate of Persian ex-
tracts is TO cast slight upon gift
of nature. II is encouraging to note,
however, that the taste for perfumes,
as for art, is constantly growing
more refined and cultivated in this
country, and the more delicate and
subtle scents only are used for the
bath and linen sachet.
The man who dips his mustache
in white rose, sprinkles his handker-
chief with violets or dampens his
hair with the dread jockey club, is
extinct in good society. Still. there
is vast room for impE;wing the choice
of these wondrous compounds of
the chemists skill, which carry no
possible suggestion of the fragrance
of the blossoms they are named and
labeled after. Who, at q popular
entertainment, has not been half
suffocated by the fumes of the deadly
patchouli, the impossible scent OF
the new mown hay. and that favor
lite of London flower girls, the pene-
rrating muskP And who has not
been nauseated at even some of our
best theaters by cad of some sort,
whose presence permeated the atmos-
phere with mixture of old rye and
Frangipani? What, by the way,
would be the emotions of that dis
tinguished botanist could he know of
the base use to which his name has
been putP
Perhaps nothing has done more to
corrupt the delicate sense of smell
than the rage for pot-pourri, which
sprang up few years ago and ran
amuck through the country, as did
the peacock's eyes and dragon CANDLE
sticks, until the mere sight of u
covered jar on the mantlepiece made
anyone who had not cold in his
head fairly shudder. Happily the
most delicious perfumes can never
be patented nor photographed,
though they linger on the brain for
years. Not even the sunny curls or
the tinted miniature can recall lfe's
happiest moments like the cherished
odor of one's favorite flower. What
can compare in yoluptuous sweetness 8
with the fresh rose she gave you?

IMoeMulrY IM WATCHES.


Curious Tme-rleee, That Attracted At
trntIan Mt the Worlds Fair.
In the exhibit OF watches of Phil
ldclphia firm ut the worlds fair
thoro were two beautiful re-
geuters both $50 years old, and of
trcnch make. The mechanical parts
OF tho repeating train are exposed
and tiny gold figures strike upon lit
lie bells, tolling of the hours in u
most musical and pleasing manner.
in this collection, also, there was
another watch for the blind, used,
perhaps, by "some muto inglorious
Milton" whose name Is unknown,
but whose battered old time piece is
said TO have lived with him more
than 15J years ago, 10 tell the
time the blind man removes the crys-
tai from the face and lightly touches
the hands and the raised number to
which it points, Such use would
tend to hurt the movements of the
hands 1t would seem, but so marvel
ousis the delicacy of touch of these
sightlcss people that no change is
made Ia the movements.
A most curious watch is one with
wooden case and movement, made by
deaf mute of Tennessee, who made
the watch before he learned anything
Of Matchmaking and whose tools
were only II three-cornered file and a
case-knife. This piece however, is
more curious than beautiful, though
the whole thing shows an ingenuity
and skill wonderful from such un.

Flood Uncovers an Old village.

Since the subsistence of the recent
food which swept through the Genesee
Valley, curious things have come to
light. Among the most interesting is
what appears to be the unearthing of
an old Indian village. On farm
worked by James Shefllin, on the west
side of the Genesee River, near where
the Jones bridge crosses the stream,
about two miles and half from this
place large quantity of the earth was
washed away. Since the water got
down so that an examination
of the place could be made
to deter mine the amount of
of damage, the prospectors were con.
siderably surprised to find lot of old
style pottery, such as was In use in the
eighteenth century by the aborigines,
scattered over the place left bare by
the water. Further examination re-
suited in the finding of a number of
old copper coins, arrow heads, ETC.. +,
and among other things a double solid
silver cross four inches long and we'll
preserved. These ancient relics are
being treasured by the finders, who
are still on the search. The suppo-
sition by many is that at some time or
other an Indian village was located
here, as the site is only few miles
below the Junction of Canaseraga Greek
with the Genesee River, and about
three miles from the White Woman's
Spring on the Squawkie Hill plot.
Considerable interest is manifest and
the digging will be continued

Constant Work Stunts Man.

Professor Max Muller has been re-
GREETING that 'the luxury and beauty
of scholarly leisure" at the universities
have passed away forever. at is
quantity today rather than quality, 1
feer," he said to an interviewer of the
Culver. "The tutors become teachers
far too young, and they work so hard
that they have no time to look to the
right or the left; and what is life IL
not continually glancing to the right
and left? They give themselves no
time to develop. They take good
first class and then give out what they
have learned as teachers. This en-
genders the moneymaking spirit. l
have no word to say against it, but it
all tells on the spirit of the univer-
sity."
The present system of constant ex-
aminations finds no favor with Profes-
sor Max Muller. "They stunt our
young men, he said, 'they have no
time or opportunity to be idle. Now,
do you know, it is my idle friends, y
he added, "who have become distin-
guished men in later life? 1 believe
in cultured idleness. 1t gives a man
time to read for himself. But look al
these examinations; why, a man knows
exactly what he has 70 read frequently
to the very page. You don't call that
study"
The professor confessed that at first
he had been opposed to the girls col.
leges, but they are, he said great
success, "and it is a real pleasure to
me to see the young girls so eager to
learn. Young men do as little as they
can, young women do as much as they
can too much, indeed. Again, they
work more systematically, and theii
knowledge is better arranged. II

of the whole of their character.
wish the men could be ashamed and
spurred on to further effort. Indeed,
he added, laughing outright, "a friend
of mine and his wife went in for the
same examination; she took first
class, he only a second" Professor
Max Muller, however, thinks nothing
tangible comes of all the labors of the
girls, while if only they could get fell
lowships they might do good work.

An Electric Incubator.

A novelty in the Matching of eggs
has appeared in the shape of an elec-
trio incubator, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The special feature of this
machine is that the heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to
the fiftieth part of degree. 1t con-
sists of tank incubator, heated by
radiation from the bottom of a water
tank, which is constructed on the null
Tubular system. When the egg
drawer reaches the temperature of
104 degrees an electric thermostat
connects up dry battery with an
electro-m magnet, which acuates dam
per, allowing the heat to escape
through the open air, instead Of pas
sing through the fues of the water
tank. This entirely automatic device
is said to effect a saving Of thirty per
cent in the fuel used for heating.
