RUSSIAN GAMES.

SOME parts of Russia a queer game
is still played at Christmas time,
which has much TO do with the future
= life OF the participants. Some promi-
nent person in the village announces
that the annual merryma king will be held
At his house. On the appointed day the
young men and women hasten 10 his house.
THERE are songs and games and dances
but they are simply a prelude to the
more important business OF the day.
When the time comes the hostess leads
all the girls into one room, where they
seat themselves on the benches Laugh
ing and chattering, they are each promptly
muffied In winding sheets by the hostess.
The head and hair and form are securely
covered, and when she is done the girls re-
semble papooses
THE young men draw lots, and one by
one they enter the room where the
muffled girls sit. Hopeless so far as sight
or touch goes, the puzzled lover tries to
locate his favorite. Maybe she would help
aim II her eyes were not hidden. but she
IS as helpless as he. Finally he chooses
one and then he may unveil her. This is
the critical moment, and disappointment or
rapture VIII be the result of seeing her face.
o.
1T is the law of custom that the man
shall marry the girl he has picked ont.
and if either backs out a heavy forfeit
must be paid. 1t is said that this ma, ri.
monal lottery is productive of many bapnv
marriages.

FIRE OUT.
No vags to Saw Wood and Court Omciais
Are Cold

Missoula, JAN 6.-In the city hall this
morning Treasurer Kemp and Clerk
Hoblitzell sat with their overcoats on,
their collars turned up, their noses blue
and the circumambient atmosphere
likewise of a violet hue. Judge Ross
refused to hold court and left the prem
ises, stating that when there was fire
burning he would consider whatever
questions of justice might be brought
before him. 1t was cold in the city hall
and there was no apparent means OF
relief The woodboX was empty ana
there seemed to be no means of replen-
ishing it, Back of the city hall was
a large pile of cord wood but none OF
the municipal officers considered 1T his
duty ito go out and use a buck saw.
So they sat and shivered.
The treasurer opened one OF the WIN
tdows and the clerk opened the door,
believing that the outside temperature
was higher than THAT within, but the
warm air refused ITO come in out OF the
sunshine and there was no relief. The
city marshal was adjudged guilty OF
contempt of court in that he had mol
'run in enough vags to saw the WOOD
AT last accounts the marshal was chas.
ing around in hopes that he could hnt
either enough money to pay his fine OF
enough vags to saw the wood.

FREIGHT CARS,
Experiments which Promise Much Be
fore Many Long Days.

Missoula, Jan. 6.-The experiments
now being conducted by several OF the
great railway lines, looking toward IN
creased carrying capacity or 1relBht
cars without a proportionate increase
in weight, are attracting the ATTENTION
of railroad men everywhere. Inc
Standard recently described new box
car which the Northern Pacific has
built at St. Paul. according to designs
prepared by Supt. +. j. Pearson. rms
car has a capacity of 10000 pounds ana
has been pronounced thoroughly SALTS
factory by the mechanical ana trans
portation departments. The other ex-
pertinent of the Northern Pacanc IN
this line the new double-hopper ctdi
car also promises to be a success.
A recent number of the Railway Re
view describes the experiments recent
ly made by the Carnegie steel com
uany in this line, which have resulted
In the construction of a steel car Tor
which great efficiency is claimed. Ihe
new car is built of steel throughout, no
wood whatever being used in us con-
strlction. Decreased weight, greater
| durability and increased capa 'lty are
| claimed for this new car.
The Railway Review, in do-eiied
| description of the new cars, SAYS mat
the most radical departure from pres
| ent methods of construct m is IN 'he
| floor and stills, which are rr1Titaty
| one series of channels, Ii Al inches
wide with eight Inch fianges Down
ward. the nanges forming the silis OF
the car and the back Of the We'd max
ing the floor of the car.
The channels are secur ID together bv
tie rods passing through the Ilangt
near the web. Each rod olso passes
through struts of malleaole castings
fitted between the flanges of each
oh
channels at short intervals, so that tht
stiffness of the plate is not alone de-
| pended ON to sustain the floor.
The car is virtually constru cted In
the form of a truss, of which The 1locl
itself forms the top or compression
member. This keeps the body square
without braces or gusset plates, thus
making a much lighter construction
possible than where an Independent
floor Is used.
In a test made by the Carnegie Stee
company the car easily sustained o.

pounds was coupled to a locomotive
and rapidly shifted back and fortl
over a four-track crossing which wa
in a badly worn condition, and thi
without any perceptible vibration o
the car body.
The weight of this car is from 200
: to 1000 pounds less than that of wood
en- cars usually constructed for an
rated at SO. 700 pounds capacity, whicI
rating is sometimes in excess of thei
elastic limit. II is claimed by tn
builders that the cost of maintenance

wheels, axles. journal bearings an

Der can be kept in repair with IN
same ground and shop capacity that
