THE czAR's RAILWAY.
From America to Europe with only
Twenty-four Hours of Water.

From America to Europe with Only
Twenty-four Hours of Water.
DR.. ]. M. Crawford, late United States
consul-general at St. Petersburg, is en-
thusiastic on the subject Of the Siberian
railroad and regards 1t as one of thS
greatest enterprises of the age, says the
Cincinnati Tribune, and he regards
the position that Russia has taken
on the Chinese Japanese treaty
as a very fair one, and that the Russian
bear has not commenced to growl mere
ly for the purpose of gaining territory
and aggrandizing itself. The Siberian
railroad has already had some Sl5O,OOO,-
600 invested in 1t by the Russian gov
eminent, and to reach the eastern port
Of Vladivostok the railroad must do one
Of two things. 1t must keep in Russian
territory or 1t must cut across what
was part OF the Chinese empire, but
is now subject to the treaty. Vladivos-
tok is on the Sea Of Japan, at the eX-
IRENE southeastern end Of the Russian
empire. At this place the Chinese en-
pire extends into the Russian empire,
and on the map looks as though a bite
had been taken out Of Russa's domains.
1t is to cross this bite" that the Rus
sian government is going to try, for at
the time that the war was declared be-
tween China and Japan there were ne
gotiations pending between Russia and
China, and 1t was given the Russians
to understand that they would be per-
mitteG to do so, and Russia does not
propose to be baked in her plans. For
the railroad to reach Vladivostok with
out going out of Russian territory it
would have to run around the three
sides of the "bite" and would go over
country across which the difficulties of
construction would be great, while
across the "bite" they would be COM
paratively easy. What the result Of
this railroad will be the widest flight
of fancy cannot picture, for the natural
resources of Siberia are so wonderful
that no one can estimate the benefit of
railroad which would cross from
coast to coast and develop the country.
What its effect on the Pacific slopes
would be no one can do more than
speculate.
1t would be possible to go to Europe
without travelling longer than twenty
four hours by water.

Artificial CoReo.

II will, perhaps, be news to many to
know that tons of artificial coffee are
being made and sold for the purpose
of mixing with and adulterating coffee.
The grains are stamped out, colored
and roasted, so as to look exactly like
the genuine article, and would, IL
mixed with the genuine coffee, easily
deceive an unslilled eye. The fact
that the color Of the artificial does not
usually match that of the fresh roasted
is one of the methods of detection, and
If the fraudulent grain is bitten into
Its hardness will expose the fraud.
sSme of the artificial coffee is made to
aioitate the raw coffee grains, and may
milo be found in it as in an adulterant.

An institution known to large fruit
growers throughout both hemispheres.
is the old established Stark Nurseries,
OF Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport, Ill. A
features Of the business Is 100000 acres
planted to orchards. These orchards are
distributed In "a states and perhaps no
other 100 acres Of trees ever grown has
attracted so wide attention as their
Stark Denver Unirrlgated Orchards.
Irrigation, hitherto supposed indispens-
able, is not given; but Instead the whole
orchard is cultivated once week during
the growing season. In the Dept OF
Agriculture report, as long ago as 1892,
u. s, Pomologist Van Deman, who WIS.,
tied and carefully examined the or
chards, concluded a long description by
saying, "Thls one lesson in practical
horticulture Is worth millions to the
country"
With such great orchards and with
over 1000 canvassers selling their trees,
and for whose benefit they regularly
publish unique and valuable paper, 1t
is hardly surprising that Stark Bros.
paid 100000 for one tree Of the Gold
plum, also 100000 for the Splendor
prune--more than ~ times their weight
in gold. They evidently believe the best
is none too good for their customers.
Notwithstanding their present working
force Of 5000 canvassers, they advertise
for more to work right here and In adj
Joining territory. The work lasts the
year round or one can utilize spare time.
gtnrlr Pros toll no tho business offers n
great chance to men-or women either,
for that matter-who have the neces-
sary energy, etc, to succeed canvassing,
and that experience is by no means nee
essary.

Coke as Fuel.

Tests in the use of COKE as a fuel for
locomotives in the place of coal have
been made by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad on some of its Virginia lines
during the past few weeks, and have
proved very successful. With the
heaviest freight trains equally good
results have been obtained from coke
as from coal, with the great advantage
of an avoidance of the smoke and
cinders attendant on the use of coal.

The First Marguerite.

Nine. Nolan Carvalho, who sang the
part Of Marguerite when Gounod's
Faust" was first produced, gives some
interesting particulars about the pro-
duction. The rehearsals took place UNI
der M. Carvalhos direction at the
Theatre Lyrique, Of the Boulevard du
Temple, and were very fatigulng.
Gounod had lnterspersed many splendid
bits Of music through his work which
had to be cut out, notably a duet be-
tween Marguerite and Valentin during
the Kermesse. Another duet in the
prison was also sacrificed The re-
hearsal lasted from o'clock in the
evening until o'clock in the morning.
The project Of police, however, inter-
fered and obliged the singers to leave
Off at midnight at the instance Of the
flremen, who complained Of the long
hours. The censorship had also to be
reckoned with, for 1t was thought that
the cathedral scene would be objected
to in Rome Mgr. de Segur, however,
attended the rehearsals and said that
he found the cathedral scene superb.
He also gave Nine. Miolan Carvalho
a beautifully bound mass book, which
she was to use in the church. and she
has the gift still.
The first representation, as Nine.
Miolan Carvalho reminds people, was
not brilliant. Gounod was regarded as
an innovator. and the house was divided
into two camps, one for and the other
against the composer. Meyerbeer and
Rossinl were among the admirers Of
the new work, but the Maestro of
Pesaro afterward said that he preferred

way later, and does not need defenders

Structure of the Eye.

See how God honored the eye before
he created it. He cried, until chaos was
irradiated with the utterance, Let
there be lightp In other words, before
he introduced man into this temple OF
the world he illuminated it, prepared 1t
for the eyesight. And so, after the last
human eye has been destroyed in the
final demolition of the world, stars are
to fall. and the sun is to cease its shin
ing. and the moon is to turn into blood.
In other words, after the human eyes
are no more to be profited by their shin
ing. the chandeliers Of heaven are to be
turned out God, to educate and to bless
and to help the human eye, set III the
mantel of heaven two lamps-a gold
lamp and a silver lamp-the one for the
dav and the other for the night. To
show how God honors the eye, look at
the two halls built for the residence OF
the ewes. seven bones making the wall
for each eye, the seven bones curiously
wrought together. Kingly palace OF ivory
is considered rich. but the halls for the
residence of the human eye are richer by
so much as human bone is more sacred
than elephantine tusk. See how God
bonored the eyes when he made roof Tor
them. so that the sweat OF toll should
not smart them and the rain dashing
against the forehead should not drip in
70 them. The eyebrows not bending over
the eve, but reaching TO the right and
TO the left, so that the rain and the sweat
should be compelled to drop upon the
cheek. instead Of falling into this di-
vinely protected human eyesight. See
how God honored the eye in the fact
presented by anatomists and physiolo-
eists that there are 500 contrivances in
every eye. For window shutters, the
