loN THE uRAL RIVER.

Tho Fan Season FOR the Cosssck "Fishing
Army"
As rule, one part Of the river (the
lower) is intended to be fished out in
the fall, the other (upper) portion in
winter. The fall fishing begins about
the 18th of September. On certain
day the fishing army" as it is called,
moves to the fishing places, which are
sometimes very far from home. The
Cossack carts contain not only nets and
provisions, but also the boat used in
this fishing. These boats. known by
the name of boudara, are so light that
two of them may be carried on one
cart. w n
When the Fishing army comes to
the proper place the boudaras are taken
from the carts, and early in the morn
ing appointed for commencing fishing
they are placed at the edge of the wa
ter. right along the river for q
distance hardly oompassed by
the eye. No less than three
thousand boats, each containing two
men, meet here. To maintain disci-
pline, chief, or Fishing staman," is
appointed. and several representatives
of the fishermen are elected to assist
the chief. The ataman gives signal
to commence fishing by cannon shot,
and then the crowd rush to the boats,
and in less time than you can realize
what has happened all the fishermen
are in their boots and peculiar kind
of boat racing commences. They put
forth their utmost strength and ability
to outrun each other. and to be first at
the place where the fish have gathered
in shoals, these places being known by
the reports from the fish wardens. Once
here, they throw out their small seines
and haul them from two boats. Vari-
Gus kinds of sturgeon from thirty to
six hundred pounds weight), sander,
carp Dream, and silurns are the princi-
pal fish caught at this fishing. DIR. N.

white Gloves and Little Fingcr-RIngs Arc
Now the Rage.
White gloves and little fnger-rings
set with large solitaires are now the
rage. Few gloves of any sort have
.heen worn during the hot weather.
After the mysterious way of fashion
the fad for little finger-rings material
lied, and considerable business ensued.
Many rings were purchased from the
regular stock and many more were
made to order, the stone being a
souvenir of more or less intrinsic value.
A few shirt studs have been sacrificed
for the solitaire pearl or diamond, and
coral, spinal ruby. .carbuncle, anne
thyst, eats eye and the fatal opal
have been selected for the band and
snake ring.
These little finger-rings are compare
lively hard to wear. Two elements
ure needed to make them effective-a
hand that is pretty and one that is
small. On any other hand the ring il
aggressive and inartistic.
The white glove is also dependent
upon delicacy for effect An authority
on such matters says: mo. is the
limited size for white gloves, and even
then the hand would look as big as q

SEEKING SOUTHERN SUPPLY.
Canadian Lumber Consumers Buy
ing From the Southern
States in Quantity.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-A sign
of the times that should be of
special interest to tho south, is
conveyed in report TO the state
department. In the report of
United States Consul Chatham, of
Canada, on the result Of the new
tariff in western Ontario, among
other things, he notes the fact that
there is a large stave industry
there, with mills in Michigan.
These mills as we'll as in Ontario
have resumed manufacture,
but have been compelled to give
the benefit of the removal Of the
ten per cent. duty to the consumer.
Contracts for next year will show
a saving to the consumer Of from
five to ten per cent. and with only
5 years. timber ahead to cut from.
1t is not likely it will go lower, as
capital ia behind this industry, and
they are buying timber tracts in
the southern states for future sup
ply. Canadians are also beginning to
buy yellow pine from the southern
states in large quantities for
flooring, joisting and inside fur
nishing. Freight from Alabama
is about equal to cost there, but its
sale in lands will steadily increase,
and besides, cherry and walnut,
Norway pine, oak, poplar, used in
Canada, must come from the south
ern states in the future, as the ma
tive stock is nearly exhausted.

HCME FROM CHINA.
Band of Missionaries Return, One
of Whom is Not Afraid.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28.-The
steamer Oceanic has brought over
a dozen missionaries from various
parts of China. Among them is DIR.
III. Bloodgetts, Of the American
board of foreign missions, who has
been engaged in missionary work
in the Orient for forty years past.
He does not believe there is any
danger to missionaries or other
foreigners in China, and is
returning for the holidays. He
says the murder OF Mr..
Wylie was the only act Of violence
committed by the Chinese. He
considered Port Arthur as impreg-
nable and it was as strongly FORTH
fed as ingenuity could suggest.
He believes the japanese will cap
ture Pekin, although the troops
must march thirty days to reach
the Chinese capital. The capture
of Port Arthur will give easy
transportation to the Japanese
troops. The ultimate aim of the
Japanese is to acquire more terri
tory, he says.
