SOCIETY IN SIBERIA.

Hostess and Guests Frequently Re-
tire to Kitchen to Cook and EAT.
At one of the grand balls attended
at Krasnoyarsk, writes Thomas G. AL
len, Jr., of Questionable Siberia" in
Ladies' Home Journal, was impressed
by the profusion of flowers used in the
decoration Of the ballroom, and which
had been imported from Europe at
enormous expense, and also by the i'm
portance given to the matter of re-
freshments. Although there appeared
to be about four girls to one man, the
male portion of the company spent the
greater part of the evening at the
buffet, or zokooski table, eating and
drinking. The conversation of the wom-
en-, I found, was most conventional. and
one could invariably anticipate the
same remarks upon an introduction to
a lady. Knowledge of French, which /
was surprised to find few could speak,
is considered the most graceful fem
&inine accomplishment.
& The kitchen. however, has for the
lady of the land q peculiar fascination.
Very often while dressed in silks and
satins, and conversing with her guests,
O hostess will proceed to fry as''blin''
or pancake, and eat it with the greatest
gusto. The other ladies are at liberty
to follow the hostess example if they
choose. "a

French African Expedition Said to he
Guilty of Astonishing Cruelty.
: a grewsome account of the conduct
of the French expedition which has just
made it's way to the Nile is given by one
Of its members in private letter, says
the Boston Transcript. He says they
impressed all their native porters and
other help by force; in brief. seized and
made slaves of them. Then, if any of
them tried to escape, they shot Or
hanged them. When they came upon a
village end found it deserted they set
it afire, whereupon the inhabitants. who
were hiding near by, would come back
and try to extinguish the flames, thus
giving the French an opportunity to
seize some Of them to replenish their
slave train. The French would seize
the chief and tie him up until he f,lr-
nished the required number Of slaves.
II they did not succeed in calling any Of
the natives within reach by incendiar-
ism or other means they simply looted
the village. At night they kept as
close watch upon the slaves as pos
sible, abut they would now and then All
run away together. and it was not easy
to kill the whole lot. Ri

TENNYSON's DEVOTED WIFE.
Always the Poets Inspiration and His
Trusted Critic.

Always the Poets Inspiration and His
Trusted Critic.
In 1880, on path in wood at Som
ersby,, Tennyson came unexpectedly
upon a slender, beautiful girl of II
and impulsively said to her: care you
dryad or an Dread wandering here ?''
Six years later he met Emily Sellwood
again, on the occasion of the marriage
of his brother Charles to her younger
sister, says the Atlantic Monthly. The
friendship ripened into love and in sum-
mer their marriage took place.
Of his wife Tennyson said many years
later: ''The peace of God came into nv
life before the altar when I welded
her." Of this marriage the son writes:
ut was she who became my fathers
adviser in literary matters. 4 am proud
of her intelligence he wrote. With her
he always discussed what he was work
ing at; she Transcribed his poem; to
her, and to no one else, he referred for
a final criticism before publishing.
"she,' with her tender, spiritual ma
ture' and instructive nobility of thought,
was always by his side, a ready, cheer
full, courageous, wise and sympathetic
counselor. It was she who shielded his
sensitive spirit from the annoyances
and trials of life, answering, for ex-
ample, the innumerable letters ad-
dressed to him from all parts of the
world"

TOLD HIS CLAM STORY.
Now a Funny Detroit Man Won His
Case With the .IurE

Case With the Jury.
Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little
man, is charged with having with
malice aforethought and evil intent
sprung a few of his tales Oh jury and
thereby turned their verdict in his di-
rection, says the Detroit Journal.
A few weeks ago Marshall came to
town and in the circuit court sued DR..
Hercules Sanche on promissory note
for $1,000. He won the case, and now
the counsel for the defense has applied
for new trial on the ground that the
jury was improperly Influenced.
The lawyer says that during recess
Marshall went out into the hall and
told the jurymen lot Of funny stories,
including that one about the New Jer-
lsey clam digger who fed his family on
CLANS so long that their stomachs rose
and fell with the tide. That settled it,
the Sanche lawyer says, and the nan
who laughs was solid as boarding
house biscuit with the jury. They went
into court, he says, and chuckIed out a
verdict in his favor.
> The counsel for the defense saws
Wilder's jokes would win favorable
verdict from a jury of pine stumps,
hence the application for new trial.

then, nothing can be hoped for from the

This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance; they still speak of the ground

have walked. and have silentcontempt

a BOGUS RELIC.
Amusing instance OF Way in Which

Amusing instance OF Way in which
Museums Are Imposed Upon.
A very amusing instance of the way
IN which museums are imposed upon
has just come to light, says the st.
James Gazette. At the French revolu-
ton, when the Cathedral OF st. Denis
was SO mutilated. the figures which Or
namented the beautiful Gothic tomb
OF Dagobert was thrown down, and for
the most part destroyed, all that re-
manned being the body of his Queen
Nantilde and the head of his son Clovis
When the restorers stepped in SUBJ
sequently they made the best they
could of the bits, putting the sons head
on the mothers body and calling it the
Refine Nantilde. Not long ago more in.
telligent restorers put an end to this
absurdity, and there are now to be seen
at St. Denis two statues on which the
original proportions OF each are pre-
served. But meanwhile casts of the
hybrid were taken, and they still ex-
list in the collection of the Beaux Arts
in Paris and in the National Bavarian
museum at Munich as examples to stu
dents of all that is best in Gothic art.
But this is not all. Elm the great mu-
scum at Berlin, in the sculpture de-
partment, there is a small statuette of
stone, with various cracks and flaws
which give it an antique appearance,
which is nothing less than smaller
and very imprudently made counterfeit
of the hybrid. The forger felt the diff
ficulty which might be raised to plac-
ing mans head above a woman's bust,
and SO has modified both to "a small ex-
tent; but there is not a shadow of doubt
that he has succeeded in palming off
most unexpected imposition where he
could little expect to,

Penur1ous War Department,

Live heroes, when they serve in the
ranks, can always count On shabby
treatment from the British authorities.
When the transport ship Warren Hast
ings, with 1,246 souls on board, went
ashore on the rocks of the island of Re-
union last January, in a pitch dark
night, with heavy sea running, all
England rang with the praise of the
bravery and discipline Of the troops,
who stood drawn up in companies on
the deck till the women and children
were saved and then went ashore as
they were told off. Many of the officers
were then mentioned in orders and
some were promoted. The soldiers and
their families lost all their baggage.
After six months the war department
allows each man six dollars to renew
his kit and each family $3.50 as COM
pensation for lost PROPERTY. 49,
