The newest society sensation" in st.
Petersburg is an old peasant woman
with wonderful memory. Her name
is Trina Andrcjewna Fedosova; she IS
seventy years Of age, can neither read
nor write, but knows by heart over
nineteen thousand legends, folksonps
and poems! When she gives public
recital the scene is striking one. A
little bent figure appears, hobbies on to
the platform. down on a chair, with
hands folded, and withered face quite
cxpressionless. Amid a hush of expec.
tation she begins to speak; then her
face brightens, her eyes open widely
and sparkle, while her voice grows
clear and penetrating. She looks ten
years younger in her enthusiasm, as
she half speaks, half sings the legends
of her youth, tales of great wars, old
fairy tales, long-lost tragedies or tender
love stories, while the audience, carried
away by her strange magnetism, listens
spellbound, laughs and weeps at her
will. She is the rage" in the Russian
capital, and we hear that two eminent
literary men have written down mum.
Der of her memory -stored treasures
which they intend to publish in book
form, when it should prove rich find

LONG AND CLOSE RACE.
Two Sailing Vessels Vary Hardly ANY
Their Speed from Hong Kong.

Two Sailing Vessels Vary Hardly Any in
Their Speed from Hong Kong.
For two sailing vessels to leave a Chi.
nese port on the same day, on almost
the same hour, and, after voyaging con.
siderably more than half way round the
world, to reach New York no farther
apart than when they started from
Hong Kong, is an event which, while
not unprecedented, comes not far from
heing miraculous. The Tam o. Shanter
and the Wandering jew, both of them
American ships, built and owned in the
state of Maine, have just accomplished
this remarkable feat. The Tam o,
Shanter is of 1,522 tons burden, halls
from Portland, and has twenty years
service to her credit. The Wandering
Jew is Camden vessel 1873 tons heavier
than her rival, and has not wandered
about the seas so long by two years.
During the long journey of ninety-eight
days there seemed to be a strange con.
spiracy on the part of winds and waves
and currents to keep the two ships in
company. Even when one of the racers
carried away some of her sails, the
other was unable to take advantage of
the accident and haul ahead, for the
squall that did the damage was fol.
lowed by n calm. Before the breeze
came again new pinions had been
spread by the temporarily disabled yes.
sci, and the contest of speed was re.
sumed on equal terms,

In Berlin u number of African travel.
ers. colonial politicians and scientific
men have formed committee for the
purpose of tanning and preserving the
African elephant" 1t is computed, ilc-
coaling to statistical data of the ex-
ports of ivory, that no fewer than from
fifty to sixty thousand elephants in
Africa are killed every year. The com.
mittee say, that being so, the time is
not fur distant when the last elephant
in Africa will, says the London
Daily News, have disappeared. With
such prospect in view, the committee
have decided TO put stop to this mis-
chievous slaughter BY tanning and
maintaining the last representatives of
a fast-dying-out animal world the COM
mittee hope to preserve unimpaired the
enormous power the elephant is known
to possess, so that he may be of still
further use to mankind. The German
Colonial company have already devoted
a large sum of money to this purpose,
and now the colonial department of the
foreign office have augmented this sum
by granting liberal allowance.

Doctors In England.
The flood cure, Is a con,,r .,..,..

that they can cure ordinary human iiIs

and they point out the fact that the

WhyP Well, you might convince a
man that he was getting sufficient iron
for his system when he was eat
ing beef, or that IL he needed starch he
could get it from bread instead OF from
pills, but you couldn't do that with a
woman. They do not reason that way:
am speakings especially of patients
slightly hypochondriacal when / saw
they would reject such treatment i'm
mediately; but, as general thing, YOU
can apply the rule to all womankind.
advice as to exercise or diet is gem
orally lost. The average woman wants
to take medicine, and If 1t is very disa
greea5le she imagines it is very efiica-
cious. She gradually gets mania for
pills and potions, and takes delight in
dosing everybody who will submit.
Now, if doctor can readily
help her condition by giving her
bread pills with hypnotic sug-
gestion, think it is his duty
to do so. and collect his fee. lie might
as well whistle down the north wind as
to make a woman believe that exercise
and diet nre better than medicine. Ii
he is overly conscientious and abandons
the case another fellow comes along
and gets it, SO the natural temptation
is to cater to patients whims."

And This Despite the Fact That They Arc
Butcharcd and sold as beef.
NJ, F. Campbell, who has been for
some time at the famous Gunsight
mine, near the line Of southern Arizona,
says the camels of the desert are In
creasing very rapidly and now number
between three and four hundred, ac-
cording to the San Francisco Examiner.
This Is surprising, he says, considering
the large number that have been killed
md palmed OF for beef in the last few
years, and the inroads made upon the
bands by passing showmen. Mr.. Camp
bell gave some Interesting details OF
these tawny denizens OF the waste
places, introduced so many years ago
by Ben Buttcrworth and now grown
wild.
s.sThese hulking animals" he said,
roam mainly between the ella and
Colorado rivers, in stretch of the Low
Eagle Tail mountains and the desert
adjoining. There is very fine bunch
grass in that region, and the camels
keep in good condition. have several
times seen as many as eight or ten in 4
band and most Of them are very large.
different persons have been there
from time to time catching them for
the circuses. That is the source of
supply now for all the shows. The
hunters go ont in bapds Of half dozen
on mules. as horses would be OF no ac-
count. The camels, cumbersome as
they look, run very fast, and only
mules are enduring enough in that
tough country to wear them out. The
hunters stretch out, surround band,
and out of ten or dozen manage to
cut ont and stay by couple, wearing
them out and catching them finally
with lassos. The camels arc very wild
at first, but speedily tame down, and
the shownen ean do anything they
please with them.
~ was for nearly two years there
mining, and myself and men were fur
nished with camel meat right ulongand
thought it very good. We paid twenty
five cents pound for good deal of it,
and we thought it as good beef as we
had usually eaten. The old prospectors,
who had turned to peddling meat,
never said word to US, but took their
pay regularly to go away and come
back again. AT the last we found out
it was nothing but the camels meat
which they were furnishing us. Then
we began to draw the line.
"If the meat sellers and circus people
would let the camels alone for awhile
they would increase much faster. The
animals are interesting to see on the
desert and do no harm
