The five years that I spent in

Prince Kropotkin in the Atlantic.
was brought into contact with men of
all descriptions; the best and the worst; !;
those who stood at the top of society
and those who vegetated at the very
bottom-the tramps and the so-called
incorrigible criminals. I had ample
opportunities to watch the ways and
habits OF the peasants in their daily
life, and still more opportunities to
appreciate how little the State admin
istration could give to them, even
though 1t was animated by the very
best intentions. Finally, my extern
sive Journeys, during which travelled
over fifty thousand miles in carts, on
board steamers, in boats, and especial
ly on horseback, had a wonderful
effect i'll strengthening my health.
They also taught me how little man
really needs as soon as he comes out
of the enchanted circle of conven-
tional civilization. With few pounds
of bread and few ounces Of tea in q
leathef bag, kettle and hatchet
hanging at the side of the saddle, and
under the saddle f'-nket, to be
spread at the camp fire upon bed of
freshly cut spruce twigs, a man feels
wonderfully independent even amidst
unknown mountains thickly clothed
with woods, and in winter time.
Siberia is not the land buried in
snow and peopled with exiles only,
that it is imagined to be, even by
many Russians. In its southern parts
it is as rich in natural productions rs
are the southern parts of Canada; and
besides half million of natives, it
has a population of more than four
millions as thoroughly Russian as that
to the north of Moscow.

Governor Rollins of New Hampshire

the state to come "home" at least
once year. There are many of them
in Boston, where they have -four
ishing organization of the Sons Of
New Hampshire, and it was at recent
meeting of this association that the
governor made his novel suggestion.
His idea is to have a week in the sum-
mer set apart to be called cold Home
Week, and to make it an annual affair.
He would have every town and city in
the state make up lists of ell its native
born sons and daughters living in 9TH
Ell states, and send them an urgent invi-
tation to he present through the week,
which he would make carnival week
with all sorts of entertainments. In
addition, he urged as a part of the
program that every visitor should, dur
ing the week go to the place of his ma,
tivity, and see what lie OF she could do
to assist in the improvement and beau
tifying of the place, and its general
upbuilding and uplifting.

FACTS ABOUT SHOOTING STARS.


Question Whether or Not the Phenomenon
is Losing in Richness.
The present state of science does
not admit yet of our knowing whether
the contact of the shooting stars and
aerolites has had any effect at all on
the earth's motion, says a writer in
the Chautauquan.
But we eau assume that in the pro-
cess of time the amount of shooting
stars and meteors will decrease. For
any given group of the former it is al
most certain that it was once more
conspicuous than it is to-day, and that
it is growing less as the periodic re-
turns pass on. OF course in this as
sumption we must take into account
variations of density at different parts
of the steadily moving current, varia-
tions which can produce showers
that are now more dense and now
more sparse. For this reason the
constant enumeration of shooting
stars becomes quite important, since
this alone will teach us whether or
not the phenomenon is really losing in
richness, and if it is to what degree
and under the sway of what laws.
When a shooting star breaks into
flame in our atmosphere the residuum
of the combustion remains in the air
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dust. The virgin snow
of the polar region was often seen to
be spotted with traces of dust which
contained particles of iron. Like
PARTICLES are found on church towers
and elsewhere. Among the minute
bodies that dance in the suns rays
there are certain particles of shooting
stars. The sands of the African
deserts when examined by micro
scope present traces of very small iron
PARTICLES which seem to have been
subjected to high temperature, and
the Challenger on its remarkable trip
in the Atlantic found at times in its
dragnet fragments of magnetic iron
which we have every reason to be-
lieve fell from the sky. Sir William
Thompson (Lord Kelvin) and Richter
have even seen in the aerolites the
disseminators of the germs OF life
throughout the universe.

One lesson of the wal with Spain,
not to be forgotten in a hurry, is the
alarm that was felt along the Atlantic
coast at the first outbreak of hostili-
ties lest feet OF the enemy might
make daring and costly dash into
some exposed port. The elaborate
plan of coast defenses is even now far
from finished, although it is estimated
that S46, 900, 600 have been expended
upon Notifications within the past four
years. The work thus well begun
should be vigorously prosecuted,
1t is the cheapest form of insurance to
the enormous wealth of our coast har-
bors and cities. The continuance OF
this preparation should be accompan.
led by dilligent instruction of the ar
tillery branch of the enlarged army.

Some of the smart tailors are max

consider an economical plan. One cos
tune of Amazon mauve-g gray cloth has
close-ftting skirt, which flares out
at about the height Of the knees into
dozen tiny fiat founces which at
first sight might be taken for tucks.
The edge of each one is ornamented
by piping of dark violet velvet. The
coats are directoire and short
sacque, respectively. The first is cut
with long-tailed basque, reaching
nearly to the bottom OF the skirt, but
giving no indication of its existence
in front. The broad revers are faced
with violet velvet of the same hue as
that employed upon the skirt, and
this in turn is covered, or nearly so,
by an application of white ribbon
braids in the shape of true-lovers'
knots; the gantlet cuffs and the tight
fitting sleeves are similarly faced and
embroidered. The vest, cut in one
with the coat, is of velvet, braid-em-
broidered also and the smart and
dainty cravat is of lace and fur, min
.gled with violet velvet. The edge,
pockets and revers of the coat are
piped with violet velvet, the flaps of
the pockets are of velvet, with q single

What Causes Colds.

Contrary to the Nrevalent opinion
that colds and coug are due entirely
to the severity of the climate, or to
some unexpected change in the
weather, they really arise, in very
many cases, from pure carelessness
and want of thought.
Colds are not inevitable, but could
often be avoided if people would only
use their ideas of common sense and
be reasonable.
The custom of mufliing the neck
very closely with furs or similar pro-
lection is extremely dangerous. If
thoughtlessly left off q severe cold is
sure. A light wrapping, sufficient to
exclude cold wind, while permitting
ventilation, gives the best protection.
For instance, if one sits in heated
room while paying a visit, or during
the services at church, without re-
moving any of the many wraps which
have been donned for the cold at
mosphere out of doors, the result is
almost sure to be q severe cold, con-
tracted by the sudden change from the
heated room to the cold air.
Sleeping in badly-ventilated rooms,
wearing at night the underclothing
which is worn through the day, late
hours, loss of sleep. greasy food
and irregularity of meals all tend to
weaken the system to such an extent
as to render it quite incapable OF
resisting the changes in the weather
or any exposure to disease. While
we all advocate cold and well-venti-
lated sleeping apartments, we at the
same time must condemn the cold
room for dressing in the morning. 1t

II thought this was really something
like hon hunting, quite in accordance

gripped him afresh by the upper part

managed, with odds and ends of gar

that time telling the other two how it
all happened. He seemed to feel no
pain, and Bob said he was doing nice
Iy. But the next morning, when we
were at our coffee, we were told casu-
ally that he was dead. 1t appeared
that he had somehow started the
bleeding again, and had refused to al
low us to be called; so the poor fellow
lay there in the darkness and let his
life's blood go from MIN tfl his life
went too. Bob said he would have
brought him through if he had been
called, but I said I didn't think it
possible, because tho bones were so

bones. Bob, as usual, when L ven
tured an opinion, remarked, "Rotl"

The reign of the rosebud has already
commenced. Small as this crimson
tipped flower is, it successfully DOM
mates every new fabric for spring
wearing. Challies. organdies, Swiss
muslins, ginghams and silks are
wreathed and speckled, spotted and
dotted with coquettish baby roses,
from the romantic moss bud to the
close-sheathed tiny button rose. All
this, of course, goes only to prove that
we are in for pink spring instead OF
q lilac, violet or corn-fower blue one.
There is, indeed, matter for pro-
longed and undenially thrilling teacup
talk of coming modes already spread
forth on the counters. Abridged in
formation must make it known that
the favorite organic pattern is that of
a fine rose vine in bud, and creeping
over trellis pattern in faint green or
pale yellow. In dimity and beauti-
full new starchless muslin called Phili-
pino the prim baby rose is placed
formally inside tiny check square,
OF regular narrow bands of green run
in bayadere or perpendicular stripes
between straight narrow trails of roses.
The cloud-like silk muslins that
promise to be the most fashionable
summer ball gowns have full blown
roses in two shades of pink or in yell
low and red on their faint blue, deep
cream or lemon-tinted backgrounds,
and for the Easter bridemaids these
are going to be the most fashionable
possible habits

OueenlY Even in Prison.

The author of "Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes" relates very
pathetic story of Marie Antoinette,
told to her by an old man who had
when boy, during the days of the
terror, to take some water daily into
the room of the unhappy queen. The
boy did not know the rank of the
prisoner, as she was spoken ola Veuve
Capet, and her daughter as Cheyenne
Marie! The first time he was gruffiy
told by his uncle to put the pitcher
down. On entering the room he
looked up and saw pale, cold, stern
looking woman, with snow white hair,
standing bolt upright, facing the three
men and the boy as they came in.
She started violently when the boy
entered, but said nothing. No doubt
he reminded her of her own unhappy
son separated from her. ''Some
childish instinct made the boy rever-
emily bow his head to her, and if he
had dared he would have doffed his
cap and bent his knee. In the guard.
room he asked who this Veuve Capet
was, and was told bad, wicked wom-
an, who had been the curse of France.
Constantly he carried the pitcher to
her, and one day, when his uncle was
more drunk than usual, and not no.
ticing him, he slipped three little
primroses, which he had in his hot
little hand, into hers. The queen
took them, hid them in her dress,
and burst into tears"

religion, custom and industry in
all these islands, thus enabling
them to flourish in amicable unity un-

What 1t Means to Be n Viceroy's Wife
and the Social Demands of viceroyalty.
Under the title "The American
Girl Who Leads an Empire" Edward
Page CASTOR writes interestin gly in
the Woman's Home Companion of the
responsibilities undertaken by Lady
Curzon:
SIT sometimes devolves upon the
wife Of the Viceroy to give audience
to q native Maharaiah alone, when il
is her duty to advance and meet him
on the threshold, and duly wave him
to seat, after which her American tact
prompts her to speak of the satisfac-
tion it is to see him in her home, to
inquire after the health of her distin.
guished guest and his family, and to
pay him all the usual compliments OF
the season. As the ladies of the vice.
royalty generally make it understood
that they can accept no gifts of value
from their subjects the exchange OF
tokens is confined to photographs.
''Two thousand guests are some
times present at the state balls, when
the viceroyal party is conducted by
an imposing procession to and from
the assembly, which is opened by the
quadrille of honor at about ten o'clock.
After this Lord and Lady Curzon hold
reception, and the warm climate
makes these wearing events upon the
host and hostess. That the social ad-
ministration of Lady Curzon will not
fall behind those of her predecessors
was evidenced by orders for thirty five
thousand invitations, programmes and
cards of various sorts given in Lon
don previous to her departure for In.

zone of the delicate duties of the
lady Of the viceroyal mansion is to
learn the rules of management gov
erning the native servants, for these
have their places as unalterably fixed
by caste as persons in higher stations
In the bedchamber service there is
not one or two brisk chambermaids to
do up room as in America, but the
various items in the almost trihing
work are divided among seven or eight
men-servants, and this is the rule
throughout an Indian establishment
Lady Curzon's body-servant stands or
sleeps outside the door to her room
constantly, and when she goes to
drive alone another attendant rides
in the carriage with her, and at any
time would give his life for her pro-
tection."

The daughter of Secretary Long
and three of her fellow students at
Johns Hopkins Medical College spent
their vacations nursing the sick and
wounded. Mrs. Ennis, colored
woman from the Freedman's Hospital
at Washington, went to Santiago with
the army and has been there ever
since nursing the colored soldiers.
She is one of the humble heroines of
the war and is just % much entitled
to the thanks of Congress and medal
as Miss Barton or Miss Gould.

Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walwosth, of New

memorate the heroism and sacrifice of

one of the three founders of that
order and she was the grandchild OF
the late Chancellor Walworth, of New
York.
Who will erect monument or pro-
vide gold medal in honor of Sister
Mary Larkin, sweet nun from En-
mitsburg, Nd, who died of yellow
fever, or offer similar tribute to the
heroism of another brave volunteer
nurse who died at Chickamauga?
Fifteen hundred contract nurses
were employed by the medical corps
during the war and there were about
$50 volunteers. The exact number is
not known, because their names were
not upon the rolls. Twelve of the
contract nurses sacrificed their lives
and the three volunteers referred to
died in the harness. This is re-
markably small percentage only fif-
teen out of total of 1850 who en-

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The astronomer. like other people,
sometimes finds what he is not look.
ing for. This is especially likely to
happen in making photographs of the
heavens. Many asteroids, and occa-
sionally a comet, have been unexpect-
edly found in that manner. 1t now
appears that small comet, known as
Chase's. was thus accidentally photo
graphed on at least four plates which
were exposed in November to catch
the Leonid meteors. The comet hap
pened to be near that point in the sky
from which the meteors appear to
radiate. and although it was invisible
to the eye, the faithful sensitive plates
took note of its presence.
