THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Are Not All Innocent Men
 Who Go to Siberia.

But They Are Not All Innocent Men Who Go to Siberia.
 There is q popular idea that the
 wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
 who have been unjustly exiled from
 Russia, and that the criminal is really.
 as difficult to find as .he traditional
 needle in bunch of hay. Facts, how ever, do not substantiate this theory
 any more than they do the large ma
 jority of popular impressions.
 A great sensation was created two or
 three years ago by the finding of seven
 Russian exiles or prisoners who had
 made their escape from Siberia They were in an open boat in the Pacific, and were taken to San Francisco, where. they became the objects of popular co1n-'
 miseration, as well as the text for the.
 denouncing of the Russian methods of. dealing with political offenders. The Californians, ever ready with sympathy, gave them clothes and found them work to do. It now appears that during the interval that has elapsed between their arrival in San Francisco and now, every one of them has been
 punished by the law of the land. The last of the party has just been sentenced
 to 20 years imprisonment for burglary,
 while one of his comrades only short time ago was hanged for two murders which he had committed
 Investigations which have been made show that every one of these men had
 been sent to Siberia for reasons which
 would have earned him corresponding period of exile from the haunts of his
 fellow men, if not absolute deportation
 from the country, in any other part or 1 the world-London Tit-Bits.

Westehester landlords maintain the required number of hands, pay them wages and furnish them with homes on the place, but manage the whole estate as one would factory breeding horses, raising sheep and cows and disposing of the products inde- pendently of the workers.
 This is the plan on which most of the Westehester and Hampstead so-ealled country houses are run. For the mas ter's house there are perhaps 30 sery- ants; for the farm work there is d staff of 20 more. Nearly all the owners are men not in business; they are men of leisure, and their only duties are those connected with the control of their estates. They are not numbered among the extremely rich, like the As tors, the Vanderbilts, the Belmonts and

or William and Mary, never conducted her famous country estates with half the layishness that characterizes these modern manors of the New York rich Servants are more expensive, soil is more expensive (some of it being with in city limits), and the application of scientific methods of agriculture has made gentlemen's farms" enormously high priced. The income of million will scarcely maintain the most modest of them.
 The case of Theodore Havemeyer, the sugar baron, who died the other day, leaving mansion in New York, villa at Newport and q 3,ooo-acre farm at Mahwah N. J., is typical. Seward Webb has castle now going up in the Ad- irondaeks, and not long ago bought up a whole county in Vermont. E. D. Nor gan finds it necessary to his pleasure to support mansion in town, a villa at
