ance revival" said f. Z. Herdon Of St
Louis at the NOrmandie. For a period of
nearly fifty years following the organiza-
tlon of the Father Mathews Society we
had tremendous waves of temperance all
over the country. Thousands signed the
pledge at these meetings, and the Oratory
Of John B. Cough swept from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. After that came Francis
Murphy, whose meetings could not be ac-
commodated in the largest auditoriums.
Following him We're a large number of
lesser orators, who kept up the excitement.
Now. while there are a great number of
temperance organizations, and they do
great deal of quiet work there are no more
such excttable waves as occurred under
the leadership of Cough and Murphy. 1t
Is about time that another great disciple of
temperance arose and stirred things up
"Of all the collecting fads ever heard of,
the key collectors are the worst of ALL"
said \. J.. Anderson of New York at the
National. There are men travelling on the
road who have keys of every hotel they
ever stopped in. In order to see that they
take no keys hotel proprietors place large
checks, with large brass tags upon them
and even attach them to iron bars; and
yet The key collectors put these useless
heavy articles In their Valises and carry
them away. | know of one collection of
keys that embraces a key that represents
nearly all the leading American and Euro
pean hotels. The cost of keys in a large
hotel is simply enormous. A few of them
are lost or taken by accident. but the most
of them are carried off by key collectors"
The greatest tobacco users in the world
are the Alaskan Esquimeaux'' said J. NJ
Bruce of Fort Randall at the Metropolitan
They do not have much tobacco there. but
secure little from the traders. They make
a curious pipe from walrus tusks and
treasure their tobacco carefully as if it
were gold dust. They first smoke the to-
| baCco very slowly. and then chew the
ashes, and then carefully clean out the
pipe and rub the nicotine that mas accumu-
lated in the bowl and stem up their gums
| Tobacco Is very scarce and very high in
price, and il any one should go up there
with stock of tobacco he would have no
trouble in trading it for all the walrus
| tLsks and estimable property that he might
| desire"
Maine has never been a state that has

LAS dreary and cold as Siberia" is an ex
preston that has come to be almost
prOverb. The very name has always com
jured up a scene of desolation and perpet-
ual winter, enlivened, perhaps, 10y a band
of criminal eXiles plodding along some lone
ly highway or practically buried alive in
some gloomy mine pit In imagination we
have even heard the clanking Of prison
chains, the moaning of suffering men, and
the sobs of distressed women And yet
however displeasing the picture which the
name of Siberia never fails to convey. its
very mysterious and melancholy associa-
tions have ever exerted strange fascina-
ton. l must confess that l have been no
exception to the general rule. At a very
early age l developed the desire to visit
this mysterious country, and to discover for
myself, II possible, some of its terrible hid
den secrets.
1t has been my good fortune on two re-
cent occasions, to crafty this wayward am
bition; and from what ] saw and expert
enced L can assure my youthful reader that
his general gloomy notion about the land
of snow and eXiles" is, in the main, incor-
rect-that there is another and a very
bright side TO the Siberian picture.
Not raising the question Of the deplorable
Siberian exile system, l would impress upon
the reader that Siberia itself, I'm its south
err portion al least, is a region where the
vegetation is varied and luXuriant,
where the birds warble just as sweety,
where the children play and the people
laugh and sing just cheerfully, as in our
own country. In fact that portion of ST.
