Democratic national committee Mr..
Doran should be required to give ali

some sections of Russia. To the aver
age American citizen it appears almost
ike ridiculous proposition, but under
the existing system of land leasing, as
practiced on large scale, the posses
sion of individual homes is unknown,
and in the greatest measure impossible.
In certain sections entire communities
make their peregrinationS in common
with the lessee of an estate. AS soon
as the lessee has closed his arrange
ments with the owner of the land the
community arrives and proceeds to con-
struct village or town. And there the
people live and rule among themselves,
just as if they were owners Of the prop
erty. There they will remain for Pc
riodS sometimes ranging several years
i'll duration.
As soon as the period for which the
land was leased has expired. and if no
renewal is granted, the lessee proceeds
to make arrangements for emigration.
The farmers of his system. without
much ado. commence to tear down the
houses unless they have been previously
purchased by the owner of the ground,
which is rare occasion. Ii the land
lord desires to have new tenant, he
simply raises the price of the lease,
which in all cases among the Russians
is deemed desire of getting rid of the
incumbent. AS soon as the buildings
have been taken down the material is
packed upon wagons, and between two
suns the entire community moves away,

pens that entire communities are wiped
out of existence i'll single night, and
the traveller who comes perchaDce that
way fails to discover any sign of what

Often the owner of the land does not
make an effort to release or cultivate it
for some time, and nothing remains but

All the northern part of Alaska is more
or less a level country and il is difficult to
get sufficient grade for Slulce boxes, and in
many places they are compelled to use

is very scarce, and in many places they
are compelled to haul timber forty or fifty

They work down far as the frost is out

year. The rest of the time he can whip
saw timber for boxes and such sawed stuff
as he may require. Some spend the winter
trapping furs, but they must be on hand
by June II or their claims will be jumpable
according to the Yukon code of laws.
There is one thing l almost forgot to
mention. 1t Is the moss. which covers all
the ground, except what the water runs
over. such as the shallow bars along the
creek. This moss is from six to eighteen
inches thick, and must be removed in order
that the ground may thaw out. The boys

Skating on Artificial Ice. bicycling
and the Fencing Club.

The Sale d Armes Feminine as il is called
which was recently opened in Paris, has
been followed by the opening of a Cercle
d Escrime des Danes, or Ladies' Fencing
Club. This institution is under the patron
age of Nine la Colonelle Derue, the Com
Jesse de Murat Nine. la Colonelle Rousset
and others. The chief professor is a woman
whose husband was formerly master-at-
arms in a military school. The device Of
the club is "Ludus Pro Forma" as the ex-
ercise of fencing Is calculated to develop
special graces and beauties of the feminine
form. In no city is skating so generally
practiced as in Paris. for the artificial ice
arenas afford more opportunity for the sport
than nature is inclined to provide except in
Canada. These artificial ice surfaces are
five or six inches thick, very smooth and
glistening and the air inside the pavilions is
pleasantly warmed with gas. French wom-
en-, too, are devoted to bicycle riding, and
may be seen in their jaunty short skirts
every day in the park riding, with or with
out a groom in attendance, according to
their rank 1t has been considered pertinent
to criticise the French woman as given over
to vanity and righteousness, but the more
one becomes acquainted with this dainty
type of femininity the more one learns to
respect the little knack she has of accom-
plishing all that other women do SO quietly
and gracefully and with so little flourish of
trumpets that no one knows she Is doing
anything at all 1t is the supreme cleverness
of the woman that deceives US into believing
her incompetent.

Feared Burial Alive.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The testament of Mary Ann Fisher. who
died few weeks ago. admitted TO probate
this morning contains many peculiar fea-
lures. The decedent left property valued at
about $1,000 and gees into some details rela-
tive to her funeral. She had always ex-
pressed a fear of being buried alive, and In
order to avert such occurrence, she inserted
in the instrument the following clause: 81
direct that my executors cause my body TO
be kept al least four days after my decease,
and that before my burial my death shall
be assured by causing my physician to sever
the arteries in my feet, or to use such other
means as may be sufficient to obviate all
danger OF my being buried alive.
II also direct that II my dog Topsy be
living at the time of my decease she shall
be humanely put to death by my physician,
her body placed in a neat black-covered box
Enclosed in cedar case, and laid at my feet
in my vault"
She also directed a certain portrait to be
taken from a frame, rolled up. and placed
In her coffin and buried with her. Finally,
after giving minute directions concerning
the placing OF her body in the family vault.
and the final disposition of the remains of
herself and other occupants of the vault In
case their removal became necessary at any
time. the testatrix requested that her own
remains be embalmed.
