splendor of its trading and commercial
achievements will eclipse anything that
has been known in the past on the east

Such sections of the Siberian railroad
as are being operated are reported to
be earning operating expenses. The
first, or western. section earned ex-
penses the first year, which was 1894.
1t carried of first. second, third and
fourth class passengers 152,315. 1t
brought $4,000 settlers into the coun-
try. besides $4,000 workmen and 2,25S
ccnvicts. In 1896 the connecting, or
Omsk-Obi. section carried into the
country $1,000 passengers of the differ
ent classes and 116,O26 settlers. In
1896 on the third section, the Chela-
binsk., We're carried 23,TGS passengers
and 3,072 settlers. That was thought
to be Il good beginning, but it is stated
that since 1885, the road having been
enormously extended and old stations
improved and new stations established,
the passenger business has largely in
creased. Official tables are not at hand,
but it is believed that during the last
two years not less than 100000 emil
grants have arrived in Siberia. From
all accounts the most of them are con-
tented and doing fairly well. The total
receipts last year for transportation of
passengers and freights were upward
of $3,500,O00. These figures will serve

AT THE WINDOW.
You are there ut the window; the
Snlendor

You are there ut the window; the
splendor
Falls on the great gardens. The rose
With all the sweets it can render
The WY up the love-trellis knows.
The dance-do you hear them begin it:
And why are you lingering there?
They miss you each musical minute
but-toss me that rose in your hair!
Who gave it? care not! l only
Know this: In the shadow l stand
And sigh, as the lost and the lonely
For the touch of your lips-of your
hand.
I hear not the tender words spoken
By lovers that call you most fair;
But am not worthy one token
That rose in your beautiful hair?
All, me! for the careless, mad dancers
And all the wild, revealing throng!
All, me! for the waltz and the lancers
That fain would make sorrow a song
Do you know the heart speaks in the
thrilling
Sweet music? They cannot impart
A balm to the eyes that are filling,
Nor dance down the grief of the
heart!
You are there ut the window. oh
let me
Not grieve you in darkness below!
Blackjack to the dance, and forget
me!
But dearest, this-this ere you go:
care not for tender words spoken
By lovers that call you most fair;
But kiss it, and toss me that token
That rose in your beautiful hair!
