Tie WORLDS Grealest Forest.

1t appears that Siberia, from the
plain of tho Obi River on the west to
the valley of the Indighirka on the
east, embracing the great plains, or
river valleys, Of the Yenisei, Olenek,
Lena and Yaua Rivers, is one great
timber belt, averaging more than 1000
miles in breadth IRON north to south,
being fully 100 miles wide in the
Yenisei district, and having a length
from east to west of not less than
1900 versts, about 5000 miles. Unlike
equatorial forests, the trees of the ST.
berian taigas are mainly conifers,
comprising pines of several varieties,
frs and larchos. In the Yenisei, Lena
and Olenek regions there are thou
sands OF square miles where no human
being has ever been. The long
stemmed coniters rise to a height OF
l50 feet or more, and stand 80 closely
together that walking among them Is
difficult.
The dense, lofty tops exclude the
pale Arctic sunshine, and the straight,
pale trunks, all looking exactly alike,
so bewilder the eye i'll the obscurity
that oil sense OF direction is lost.
Even the most experienced trappers
of sable dare not venture into the
dense taigas without taking the pre-
caution of "blazing" the trees con-
stantly with hatchets as they walk for
ward. Ii lost there the hunter rarely
finds his way out, but perishes from
starvation or cold. The natives avoid
the taigas, and have name for them
which signifies "places where the mind
is lost. Youths Companion.

SPRING..
Tis the mystery OF ages.

Tis Inc mystery Of ages.
It's tho miracle Of birth.
IT'S the kiss that nature a;ivcth
To the motherhood Of earth.
Ever dying. ever living,
Through the cycles Of the years,
Spring, promise and portent,
Comes in laughter and in tears.
Hark, its voice an echo bringeth
or the days we loved and lost;
Hope" the word II softly whispers,
To the soul that's tempest tossed.
You who weep, and you who labor,
Weary Of your work and days,
Listen TO the voice of nature
Speaking in its wondrous ways.
'Death! There Is nome" sings the robin
what was life shall live again"
This the message. this the promise
That the springtimc brings TO men.

Henry W. Oliver, the great iron man
Of Pittsburx, 10 largely interested in
mining on the Mesaba range in Mime
sofa The P1ttsburg Dispatch says that
when shown telegram from St. Paul
stating that he was backing the Mer-
rits In building rival road, Mr.. Oliver
said that, 20 far as he was concerned,
there was not single word Of truth In
the statement; that the relations bo.
tween his interests and the Duluth,
Mesaba 4 Northern people were not
strained, that he had no disposition, no
desire to encourage or assist in the
building Of another line Of railroad,
and that he thought that the lines Of
railroad now in the country should be
encouraged by paying them q fair rate
of, freight, so that they could provide
additional facilities for moving tho
heavy tonnage now pressing on tho
lines. Mr.. Oliver stated that his treat
ment by the Rockefeller interests had
always been fair, and that he had NO
reason to anticipate any change in their
policy."

ber Of establishments 1t work. both for
reasons having nothing to do with Ques-

In important materials and products. with
the struggle Of great combinations to pre-

The price Of Bessemer pig Is lower. s14.7

cause there is scarcely any demand for
rails at the combination price: structural
contracts are now few. and the demand
for wire and wire nails has been curtailed
by tho trusts advance of prices 176 per
cent. In four months. Large western and
eastern orders for cars help the demand
for bar, but finished products are quite
generally sold below quotations. which
are now lower than they were two months
The United States Leather company,
holding great quantities produced from
high-priced hides. finds outside concerns
reducing prices Of leather and has stopped
production for GO days, In order to control
the market. Rough calf is two cents lower
this week. with other kinds unchanged.
Meanwhile the great boot and shoe manu-
facture is embarrassed, even to the stop
rage Of very many works, by the refusal
Of jobbers to purchase. in the belief that
leather and shoes must decline in accord
with hides.
Many woolen mills are also closing to
wait for orders though the demand is fair
ly satisfactory for some dress goods and
worsteds. and the Washington mills open
clay wOrsteds at ten cents advance. But
prices Of these and most qualities OF
woolens are still unsteady, for manufac-
turers do not know yet what they have to
meet.

from its summer rise Of 20 cents. but has
