Khabarofka, Siberia.

Khabarofka is wretched looking lit
tie place, about quarter the size OF
Vladivostok, although it is the capital
of eastern Siberia and the residence Of
the governor general. 1t lies about 40
degrees latitude north, or 6 degrees
north of Vladivostok. In the public gar
den is d bluff commanding a birdseye
view of the river, beach and steamers.
Here is monument, in bronze, to Gov
ernor General Adjutant General Nikolai
Nikolaievitch Muravief, who took part
In two exploring expeditions - 1854.
1S55-and gained the title "Amurski
for his services in the acquisition Of
this Amur region to Russia. The chief
street in Kha6arofka is called, after
him, Muravief- -Amurski. On the stat
mes pedestal are engraved the names
of himself, his wife, about 26 military
officers and seven scientific men, who
'shared in the tolls and dangers of his
expeditions f" Near the statue is band
stand, where a military band plays on
Sunday evenings, and little temple Of
the Blessed Virgin, the Bogoroditza,
with painted pictures inside the walls.
Further on is pretty little wood. left

where one has the choice of wading in
from the stony beach or diving from q

dilapidated wooden pier.-Fortnightly

find how nicely the ropes will adjust
themselves in the half circle or grooves
afforded by the gimlet holes.
Knock off the barrel hoops, and your
hammock will fall at your feet, the
slaves opening out smoothly, held Sc
curely by the ropes.
Ropes attached at the four corners
will swing the hammock from stout
brass hooks fastened on the tree trunks
ON the lawn, or between piazza post
and the house, upon the latter.
There is deal of luxury in this sim
pie, homely device. The swell of the
stave toward the center will be found
to exactly fit the back when in reclin-

mock will not double up and incase one
in uncertainty of getting in and out, as
the net ones are SO prone to do.
For the lawn the hammock need only
receive coat of English enamel paint
in some bright, CHEEKY color and be fit
ted with Japanese rush pillow, or cir
cular net, which can be purchased for
10 cents, but for the piazza we have
seen one elaborately decorated.
It was painted vivid yellow, and
the ropes had been stretched over in
crimson wool, finished in punches Of

that suspended the hammock.

trimmings For Summer Bodice..

Lace, ribbon and bead decorations are
all noted on the bodices, while empire
capes, epaulets, vandyke arrangements
and various other designs are shown for
their adornment, writes Isabel A. NAL
lon in The Ladies Home Journal As
bead trimmings are quite expensive, it
is well to know that there may be got
ten, in the large shops, strings of beads
and spangles to be applied to ribbon or
piece material, SO that the economical
woman may form fashionable garni-
ture without spending much money.
Satin ribbon is more generally seen
than either velvet or grosgrain, and the
reasons for its popularity are not only
that it ties easier, but that it contrasts
more effectively with the fabric proper
Stripes and plaids in silk are fancied
for plain bodices, while if plain color
is used it is given an elaborate air by its
trimming. Cotton blouses frequently
have double ruff1e down the front for
their only trimming, as it is conceded
to be in best taste to develop them sim
ply.

Rise Of the Medical Profession.

During the medieval times the mon
asteries, serving as centers Of iustruc
tion, gave some embodiment to the med
ical profession, like that which our col
leges give. In Italy there later arose in
stitutions for educating physicians, as
the medical school Of Salerno in 114O.
In France before the end Of the .thir-
teenth century the surgeons had become
incorporated into distinct college, fol
lowing in this way the Incorporated
medical faculty, and while thus inte-
grating themselves they excluded from
their class the BARRIERS, who, forbidden
to perform operations, were allowed
only to dress wounds, ETC. In our own
country there have been successive con-
solicitations.
The barber surgeons of London were
incorporated by Edward ~, and in the
fifteenth century the College of Ply
sicians was founded and received pow
er to grant licenses to practice medicine
Ia power which had previously been
confined to the bishops Progress in
defniteness Of integration was shown
when in Charles I's time persons were
forbidden to exercise surgery in London,
and within seven miles, until they had
been examined by the company Of bar
bers and surgeons, and also when, by
the eighteenth Of George III, excluding
the BARRIERS, the Royal College Of Sur
geons was formed. At the same time
there have grown up medical schools in
various places which prepare students
for examination by these incorporated
medical bodies, further integrations
being implied. Hospitals, too, scattered
throughout the kingdom, have become
places of clinical instruction; some unit
ed to colleges and some not Another
species Of integration has been achieved
by medical journals, weekly and quar-
terly, which serve to bring into COM
munication educational institutions, in
corporated bodies and the whole profes-
sion. Herbert Spencer

How Mrs. Carlisle Keeps Cool.

Mrs. Carlisle's prescription for endur-
ing the heat is first of all not to worry
or fret. Do all your work early in the
day and try to find some light employ
ment, either physical or mental, to keep
your thoughts from the thermometer
and how lawfully hot it is.
The wife of the secretary enjoys her
home to the utmost She has the house
rid of many of the heavier hangings
and thicker rugs as soon as the weather
becomes oppressive. The large, airy
rooms are clad as far as possible in cool
summer attire, and the intense heat Of
the midday is shut out. Washington

CHAPTER XIX.

DhAWlNG LUIS.
At half past four o'clock Keppel Darke
was landed on Long Islano, ana was
within couple of miles of the summer
cottage he had built there It was Sun
day. and the workmen had left their
work. The house, for that matter, was
all but completed except its interior fur
nishings. A watchman was appointed
to keep guard over it, but during the
daytime his duties were merely nomi-
nal, and at that hour he was taking a
siesta in his quarters above the stable at
the back of the building, little expect.
ing that the owner of the premises was
80 near.
It SO happened that Darke was now
traversing the same region through
which he had groped his way on that
night, three years before, after his escape
from the railroad wreck. The memory
now recurred to him, and with it the
parallel between his state then and now.
The events of the intermediate period
were to him like strange story which
he had read, and which seemed true
while he was reading it, but which he
now recognized as fabulous. This expe-
rience and that other one were alone
real. Now, as then, he was a penniless
and helpless fugitive, an outcast from
society, with danger dogging his foot
steps. Then, as now, treasure lay be-
fore him, but then the treasure was of
precious stones and jewels; now it was
the woman who loved him and whom
he loved. He had lost the one, but he
had gained the other. And as he pushed
his way onward he thanked God that
the better part was left to him. The
suffering that he had undergone since
Olympia's disappearance, and especially
the agony of the torture to which he had
just been subjected, he remembered as
hideous nightmare or burning at the
stake. But the flames of that fire had
consumed the baser part of him; his
heart was purified, and at every step he
took it grew lighter and more hopeful.

FROST. FEoL1o AND BUSINESS.


The winds over frozen ponds and lakes,
over snow-fields of plains and open coun-
try. is heavily charged with frost and fine
particles of frozen matter. It is the most
den warmth, sudden chill, and severe
colds. Girls and boys skating, driving for
pleasure or business, and men at work
afield know the difference in temperature.
Yet the youngsters skate away and with
sorethroat. Drivers and workmen throw
aside wraps and all know the next day
from soreness and stiffness what sudden
chill means. Now the best thing to do
when housed is to rub well at once with St.
Jacobs Oil. If you do, you will not have
sorethroat; or If you are stiff and sore, it
will cure by warming the surface to throw
out the chill.
