RUSSIA'S NEW ATLANTIC PORT,
in Lapland-Ice Free in
Winter-Threatens Eng land.

Nhlle the attention. OF Europe mas
been conferred mainly on the progress
Of events in the far east, Russia has
been silently laying. the Foundation Of
an ice-free naval base onher n orthWest-
ern;ncoast. This long -tallSed-of naval
station in the north Of Russia is to be
connected with the railway system of
the'empire by railway running from
the harbor of Ecatherinsk to KIM, with
a branch line to Kandalask, on the
White sea, in Russian Lapland. This
new line will be $50 versts in length, and
will probably be connected with the
Finnish line at Joinsun, in the north of
Finland, or with the ST. Petersburg &
Petrazavodsk railway. Thus, in a few
years; Russia will possess a naval sta
ton in the far north which will be open
all the year round, and whence her men
of-war will be able at pleasure to sally
out into the Atlantic. It certainly says
a great deal in favor of Russia energy
that this scheme should now be on the
high road toward being fully and sue
cessfully carried out, although the idea
was mooted for the first time in the
Russian press somewhere about three
years ago. We may now await an ex-
tension of the Russian fleet. In case of
need, Russia will be able to remove her
entire Baltic fleet to the Thurman coast
and defend the Baltic ports by means
of gunboats and torpedo boats.
AS Cornstadt does not meet the re
quirements of the Russian navy in the
Baltic, the port of Libau, on the Court
land province coast, is slowly but sure
.ly being converted into a frst-class
naval station at considerable expense.
Whether this work is intended to men
ace Germany or Sweden is not yet quite
evident, but there can be no doubt that
the new port Of Libau, when finished,
will be a. great factor. in the event of
hostilities son the Baltic. This port is
actical1yS free from ice all the year,
and it bids fair to become a naval sta
ton Of the very first Importance in the
western part Of the Russian empire.
Millions of rublts have of late years
been expended on the port of Libau,
and it is now intended to rebuild two
moles, one of which is 1900 feet in
length. This work will be. began this
year and will continue until 1904. Two
hundred thousand pounds, English,
have been assigned to defray the cost
of this work. A portion of this amount
is also to be spent in deepening the
channel of the harbor from 20 to 26
feet-London Globe.

FOOD AND DRINK IN ONE.
Wide: Extent to Which the Use Of
Pulque Has Grown in Mexico.

According to tradition the discovery
and use Of pulque in Mexico dates from
the eleventh century A Toltec chief,
named Tepaulcatzin, one day received
a cup of strange drink sent by one of
his noblemen, named Papantzin, at the
hand of the nobleman's beautiful
daughter, who was called Xochitl, or
the Flower of Tula.' The great chief
tain was delighted with the new drink
and charmed with the maiden, whom he
won as his wife. A son born to them
assembled the throne of the Toltec ma
ton, which caused internal dissensions
among the people, and finally led to the
downfall of the Toltec tribe. But from
that time on pulque has retained first
place among Mexicans of all tribes and
ages, and is now more largely used
than ever.
Pulque is both a food and a drink,
and among the poor it forms very i'm
portant addition to the frijoles, tortil-
las, and chile, making up their limited
fare. In employing Mexican servant,

1S SCIlClo1ly oIAo"Cu Wy CuC ulIS-
tress of the house. A Mexican can do
with little clothing and scanty fare, but
life is a thirst-panged-d desert if the
usual allowance of pulque is interfered
with. It possesses large medicinal
properties, acting in a beneficial way
upon the digestion, blood, nerves and
system in general; but if used to excess,
it finally d4lls the intellect and makes
one drowsyan stupid. -. -. .. 2.
One hundred thousand quarts day is
the average consumption of pulque in
the City of Mexico alone,, and special
trains are regularly employed in the
carrying trade between: the maguey
plantations and the city markets. 1t is
vended through the streets by loud
lunged peddlers, who go about shout
ing their trade into the open doors and
patois of the houses; the most is sold,
however, from the multitude of pull
quehias, which open their inviting
doors upon nearly every corner for the
patronage of the thirsty, where it re-
tails at centavo for large glass, and
by the gallon sells at eight cents. The
pulquehias are gaudily decorated little
shops with large names, some of them
bearing such impressive emblems as Ell

ODDITIES OF A WEALTHY MAN.
Some of the Queer Things Which
Marked the Life Of an Eccen-
trio OhiOan.

George H. Hopper, who died the other
day on his Elmwood estate, near Cleve-
land, O., began life as timer, and
made himself immensely rich through a
contract for furnishing tin cans to the
Standard Oil company. About ten
years ago Mr.. Hopper purchased Elm
wood farm, near Cleveland, and started
in to lead the life of gentleman farm
er. Many amusing stories are told Of
him IN this connection. lie decided to
turn it into a stock farm. The first
thing he did was to purchase Bell Boy,
a stallion, for $51 1000. Six months later
Bell Boy and the Stables were burned.
Mr.: Hopper became disguised with the
idea of raising stock, and gave it up.
He was seized with the idea at one
tine that it was the proper thing for
gentleman Of elegant leisure to own a
yacht: He had one built, and chris
tened it Florence, in honor of his eldest
daughter. :. When the yacht was COM
pleted it was found to be too big to en-
ter the creek at the farm, and, there be-
ing no natural harbor at the place, it
had to be kept ~Ashtabula, - miles
distant. Hopper hated the yacht from
the day it was built. 1t was launched
without ballast, and as it struck the wa
ter big wave hit it, and it capsized
and went to the bottom, with the crew
on board. The yacht was raised, but
Hopper never again put his foot upon it.
Hopper's whole career as farmer
was an amusing failure. He owned
beautiful orchard of peach trees, and
friend one day remarked that he would
| come down in the peach season and par
take of some.
DO, said Hopper, edo" grasping him
by the hand warmly, ''but let us know
when you are coming, SO we can get
some peaches from Geneva
Hopper was Of nervous, restless dis
position, and had lived such busy life
that it was agony for him to be idle.
Therefore he employed men to build a
stone wall around his park, not that the
wall was at all necessary, but that it
gave him something to superintend-
