Great Britain every year.
If the United States had as great a
relative population as Japan 1t would
have a population Of 960,OOO,00O people.
Mr.. Gifin, the statistician, says that
in Great Britain the average wages per

Muskets were first used by the
French at the siege Of Arras, in 1414,
and came into general use about CEN
fury after; bayonets were invented at
Bayonne, 1878.

ooh, in your schoolroom, you know
1t is very pleasant in there, only they
must stay there until say they can
come back. Hasn't she something else
to put on instead of all this finery?"
ooh! l do not intend to take off that
beautiful dress as long as she lives,
said Natalie.

Natalie consented, but only because
she feared something worse might be
done to the unfortunate prisoner, She
showed Sache which OF the ribbon loops
would be the safest to bear the dolls

the window.
And there, in that perilous situation
poor Medemoiselle Parishkin passed the
night-for they forgot all about her,
and In the morning she fulfilled Alex
ander's prophecy Of the night before.
The snow and ice that fell during the
night formed thick coating all over
her, and when she was carried to the
large porcelain stove In the schoolroom
to thaw, the red dye in her satin polo
aise, her slippers and hose, stained her
all over from head to foot, and she had

land and the far-away provinces, and
no doubt it was the way they were
wrapped up from head to foot in fur
and heavy cloth that made them seem
SO clumsy and unwieldy.
But Natalie loved them all as friends,
and often they we're her only audience
as she repeated the fairy pantomimes
and plays she had seen performed at
the empress private theater in the
Hermitage. She made them all-large
and small dols-act in their turn, and
they did very well in pantomime. OF
course, in the dialogues and plays, she
had to make all the speeches herself,
except when her cousin Sache, or Alex
ander, who was about her own age,
joined in her play, and when he did,
he made things go on very briskly. He
thought the pantomimes rather slow,
and preferred the evenings when they
had Examinations in the gallery. These
we're limitations Of the grand displays
made at the winter palace when the en-
peror held his court there, and the an
niversary of every important event was
an excuse for a general illumination
of the palace On this particular even
ing, Sache came racing down the long
gallery like the clustering north wind
blowing over the steppes, calling to
Natalie:
Come on, say, let US illuminate the
gallery tonight!
what do we want to celebrate to-
day." asked Natalie.
"oh, anything. 1 don't care yhat~
was the reply "The taking of the bas-
tile, if you like"
ooh, no, Sache," returned Natalie
''You surely remember that we had
that anniversary only short time ACC.
and then, you know, you made mis-
take about the date"

She remembered how her heart beat
high as ihey designed cut out and
painted the transparencies that, with
hundreds Of little candles shining be-
hind them, were to surprise her father
on the evening Of his birthday, when he
should open the door Of TIE HJng gal
lery leading to his library. But she
did not remind Sache of the fact that
the day before the birthday he told her
that was the day the bastile was taken,
and friends of liberty should not let the
anniversary pass wlthoutasign. Shehad
let him try the effect Of the illumina-
tioa that night, and in his eagerness to
make experiments, he had set fire to
the decorations she had arranged on the
white marble chimney piece. Sache re-
membered it, too, and was almost
ashamed to remember how he had en-
joyed the excitement Of seeing those
decorations burn more than he would a
half dozen pantomimes. He said MOTH
ing more about celebrating anniver-
sarles, but suddenly turning, he saw
Mademoiselle Parishkin leaning in a
very coquettlsh way against one Of the
long windows.
"Why, who is this you've got here?"
he said.
That's my new doll, Mademoiselle
Parishkin. Isn't she imperial?"

This beautiful palace, resplenden!
with white and gold decorations, was
brilliantly illuminated every night, snd
the rooms in which Natalie's family
lived were filled with bronzes, medal
lions and costly marbles, So Mademol-
selle Parishllin, the new French doll,
was very fortunate to have found SO
grand residence. Indeed, she seemed
more at her ease there than some Of the
older dolls, who never got over their
awkward ways and appearance. Some
of them had been brought from Lap

Natalie sang this verse Of the old
Christmas song over and over again.
as she sat one evening in the long gal
lery surrounded by her beloved dolls.
This gallery led to her fathers suite OF
rooms in the Hermitage, the addition
the Empress Catherine had built to the
winter palace, and the reason that Ma
tales father lived so near the palace,
under the same roof, indeed, was that
he was private secretary to the empress.
Natalie was little Russian girl, and
the verses she sang were for the benefit
of her last new doll, who had lately
come from Paris with great many
French airs and fashions. The dainty
creature seemed so different from the
other homely, clumsy dolls, that Natalie
felt she must be constantly explaining
or apologizing for something that might
not be just what mademoiselle was &C
customed to. In France, for instance,
perhaps they had never heard Of Ba-
bousheka, the old woman who persona
fles Santa Claus to Russian children.
She wanders eternally over the earth,
looking into every cradle, and is always
doomed to be disappointed, because she
refused long ago to show the Magi the
way when they were journeying from
Persia to Bethlehem through Russia.
The song told also how Babousheka is
dressed like an old, old woman, with
a pack on her back full Of gifts for
good boys and girls, and how she al
ways carries broom, because she was
sweeping when the Wise Men knocked
at her door. Natalie became quite ex-
cited as she went on, for the Russian
girls and boys think almost as highly Of
Babousheka as we do here of Santa
Claus. Perhaps, though, they stand a
little in awe of her, for besides the re-
wards she has for good children, be-
lieve the bad ones sometimes tremble at
the thought of the punishment she
could bring to those who deserve it. 1t
seems queer that Santa Claus should

HIS OWN FAULT.
The Jury's Verdict in the Case of
Claude Cole.

The inquest over the remains of the
late Claude Cole was held at Madison
Lake yesterday Afternoon, commenc-
ing at 400 p. m. and concluding at
500 o. m. A number of witnesses
were examined, the most important
parts of the evidence given by some of
them being as follows:
John Kramer, who was in the next
cell, did not hear Cole say anything
about having an intention to set fire
to the lookup. The smoke came in
to his cell from the other and he was
nearly suffocated. Cole shouted that
his cell was on fire and for the officers
to let him out.
Mr.. Sprague said that he was look
ing through the window and talking
with Kramer and saw flash of fire in
Coles cell. He ran and gave the
alarm.
Fred Walfret and Chas. Mountner,
two boys nine and ten years old, were
looking into the lookup and heard
Cole say that he had match and
that there would be a fire pretty
soon. They soon afterwards saw a
fire in his CELL and gave the alarm.
Marshall A. B. Cole and Lewis
Pitcher testified to arresting young
Cole, Kramer's releasing him, their
locking themselves into the latter's
saloon, and the breaking in and the
locking up of them both. Mr.. Cole
said that he did not search the
prisoner, Cole, because he was raging
mad, but he intended to go back af-
forwards and search him. Fifteen
minutes after putting the prisoner
into the lookup the fire broke out.
James S.Stagg, the other constable,
testified to hearing the alarm and
running down to the lookup and un-
locking it. He let Kramer out first
and then went to Coles cell and I'M
locked it and called two or three times
to Cole, but received no answer. In
moment Cole fell out against him.
DR.. Wellan testified that Cole was
taken into his office and there said
to his father that if he got out of
this alive it would teach him a les
son not to get drunk again. Cole did
not say how the fire started.
The jury brought in a verdict that
the deceased came to his death by
burning by a fire set by his own
hand.
AS soon as the jury had viewed the
remains, they were taken to Cordova,
twenty-five miles away, and buried
there where other members of the
family are laid.

north, from near the crossing, and
coming directly into the city instead
of curving around the quarries. The
right of way for this across streets
and alleys will be asked for at the
same time with the other. This line
will require a heavy and expensive
cut through the rock, and will cost
about SIS, 900, but it will not be un-
dertaken until after the other i'm
provement is out of the way.
Our citizens are to be congratulated
on the outlook, and great deal of
credit is due to the special board of
trade committee, headed by DR.. An
drews, who first brought the matter up
for it's present successful agitation.
The business men have heartily Sec
onded the efforts of the board and it's
committee, and the securing of the
improvement on such extensive lines
as are laid out will be cause for
great rejoicing.
President Hughitt and General
Manager Winter come In for a big
slice of credit, as their earnest repre-
sensations to the directors and the
activity they displayed in behalf OF
the improvement finally carried the
day, and the directors gave their con-
sent. Both Of these gentlemen are
