THE RUSSIAN STEPPES.
Virgin Beauty Of the Undeveioped South
ern Plain.

virgin beauty OF tne OnueNeiopeu sOutn-
ern Plain.
THE steppe grew more and more
beautiful The whole south, all the
region which includes the new Russia
of the present day as far as the Black
sea. was virgin desert of green.
Never had the pillow passed through the
boundless waves of vegetation. Only
few horses, concealed in it as in a
forest. trod under their hoofs. Moth
ing in nature could be finer All the
surface of the earth was like green,
golden ocean, from which emerged
millions of varied flowers. Amid the
delicate tall stalks of the grass cleaned
azure, purple, violet corn flowers; the
yellow broom lifted on high its pyra-
midal tower: the white clover, with
its umbrella-like bonnets, notified the
plain; a wheat stock, brought from
God knows where, was waxing full
of seed. Under their slender roots the
cartridges were running about, thrust
ing out their necks.
THE air was full Of thousand diff
ferent bird notes In the sky hung,
motionless, cloud of hawks, stretch
ing wide their wings and fixing their
eyes silently on the grass. The cry of
the wild geese moving in clouds was
heard from God knows what distant
lake. From the grass arose with meas
ured stroke the prairie gull, and luxur-
iantly bathed herself in the blue waves
of the air. Now she was lost in i'm.
mensity, and was visible only as lone
black speck. Now she swept back on
broad wings, and cleaned in the sun.

Ovid, the Latin poet, was banished
from Rome to Toni, city on the
Black sea. The cause of his banish-
ment, as stated in the imperial edict,
was the publication of his "Art OF
Love-" though this poem had been cir.
culated more than ten years before.
The real cause is believed to have been
an intrigue with a lady of the imperial
family, supposed to be the younger Ju.
liza. He lived ten years after reaching
Toni, never ceased to beg for pardon
and permission to return to Rome, but
lied in exile.

SNAIL EATING.
Coasiderea Great Delicacy by the French
PeOnle.


We shall never, in all likelihood,
grow to share the French taste for the
edible snail, though the big escargot is
common enough in many parts of Eng
land, where tradition says they were
introduced by the Romans, and stilllive
on round the sites of their villas. The es-
cargot is really at its best when taken
in the vineyards at the end of March
and the beginning of April. They live
on the shoots of the vines, and during
the winter bury themselves in the
ground, during which time, they are
purged of all gross humors before they
return to enjoy themselves in the Ely
sian fields in spring.
Cooking the snails is not an easy
matter. They are drawn from the
shell, which is then carefully scrubbed
and washed. Their heads are cut off,
and they are well soaked in salt and
water, then returned to the shell,
which is stopped with parsley butter
and laid to simmer in a hot dish over
the fire. An enthusiast sent the writer
some dozens, taken at the right season,
from his vineyard in Burgundy, with a
few bottles of red and white wine
(Corton) made from the juice Of the
grapes from the vines on which they
had fed, in order, as he said, that 1.-The
snails when eaten might find them
selves en- lays de connaissance. The
combination was excellent, and, though
there may be two opinions about the
flavor of the escarrot, there is no doubt
that both in taste and substance it is
an edible unlike any other known.
The Wiltshire people, especially the
population of Swindon, eat the large
garden snails as common dainty

A sudden peal of laughter, and John
Beasley's voice calling; Are you two

to his feet and the blood to Dorothy's

Angry words sprang to his lips, but
he was silenced by an appeal from a

"Yes, was kneeling by your side;

Look out, sir, there's lot of duck

who had been munching twigs in a
ruminative manner.
Gilbert picked up his gun, but it was
too late, and he knew that Beasley
would have another chance to say some
thing unpleasant about his shooting.
After that there was no time for talk
ing; it was hot work for about ten
minutes and a big, mixed bag was the

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June T.
There will be no battle between forti-

army of deputy sheriffs who are now
encamped on Beaver creek, less than
five miles from Bull hill, unless a
treacherous move is made by one side
or the other. ~ .#>% J.
The aspect of affairs was decidedly
warlike until 8 p. IN. Although the
deputies cut all the telegraph wires be-
tween this city and Midland the miners
were quickly informed by their scouts of
the advance of the sheriff's force and
prepared for the battle. They were
willing to submit to the mill
tia, but declared they would
never be arrested until the troops
arrived. Mayor Lindsay and President
Parker of the First National bank
called up Sheriff Bowers by telephone
and begged him to stop his deputies un-
til the troops would reach the camp.
The sheriff agreed to this, and there is
every reason to think there will be no
further hostilities. Alex Mcintosh,
representing the miners, announced
that they would lay down their arms
Immediately on the arrival of the state
troops. The deputies will follow the
troops to the miners camp and serve
warrants which they are said to hold
for 200 strikers.

most prominent women in the town
went to the building and demanded ad-
mittance. The occupants did not open
up to their visitors, 50 the women pro-
cured stick of timber, battered the
door down and went in. They found
one member of the club secreted in the
cellar. They also found quite guam

then tipped over the building. Pu bile
sentiment endorses the women's work.
