richness of siberia.

Considering the fecundity Of the ST.
beran mountains and rivers in respect
to colored precious stones, it would
seem as If nature had, in cynical mo-
ment, wreaked vengeance on this por-
ton Of the earth by making it h!deous,
yet rich beyond compare. With all
the marvellous mineral products, the
porphyry, the blue and green jasper,
granite, red, rose-colored and blue
quartz, chaleedony, lapis lazuli, topaz,
beryl, aquamarine and crystals attain
ing two inches in diameter filling those
terrible mines and soil, who would
wish to own any portion of it? No
wonder the palaces Of st. Petersburg
are splcndidly embellishad from such
teeming quarries, or that the rich no
bility spend thousands of versts for
articles that can only be manufactured
in the dark Altai mountains. Siberia
to the Russians is merely a magnificent
territory Of unbounded wealth, and u
vast prison house for the criminal and
nihilist. No sentiment is wasted on
the country.-Boston Herald.

Their Eaxorite Food.

There is a fable of German origin
which describes the terrible adventures
of four flies in search of breakfast.
The first fixed his affection on some
tempting jam; but the jam had been
adllterated with copperas, so that this
fly died from Inflammation. The sec
ond. thus warned against luxuries, re-
solved only to eat bread. But the
bread was adulterated with alum, so
this fly died from internal cramps.
The third, in the hope of drowning his
grief for the loss of his companions,
betook himself to the edge of a beer
Jug. But the beer was 2 adulterated
with cocculus indicus, SO this fly, too,
gave up the ghost, a victim of poison.
The fourth fly seeing the fate of his
comrades decided that life was not
worth living, and proceeded to COM
NIT suicide on a paper labelled Fly
Poison But the more he ate the bet
ter he throye for the fly poison, like
everything else, was extensively adul-
terated, and succeeding generations of
flies have adopted it as the only safe

slave, Ben, vas placed by her in a cab

on the shore, Ben saw yellow CLEAN

He searched breathleSsly along the
