HORSES TRAIL OF BLOOD.

A gentleman who travelled over the
road from here to TCmpkinsville one
day last week, in talking with a News
man of his trip, said: Il tell you, the
roads are in a worse condition than |
ever saw them. | bad rather start
to Boston today than to stait back to
TCmpkinsville. Why, I COLD almost
trace every step the horses take by
the blood stains left on the ground.
The ground was frozen just enough to
cut the horses feet all to pieces, and
the poor animals hobbled along as if
they were walking on glass, and every
now and then sinking in frozen mud
up to their knees and pulling their
feet out dripping with blood. Occa-
sionalIy the horse would give a groan
of pain, and on looking down one could
see blood trickling down from fresh
cut on their swollen legs. How the
mails ever got through l can't under
stand. I think the mails ought to be
stopped until the roads get so they
can be travelled without infiic.lng such
cruel punishment on the horses. y

1916 for the first eight months Of
last year alone. Siberia appears to
the starving peasant of European
Russia as a promised land of free
dom and plenty; but, owing to the
constantly recurring reports of gold
being found in widely separated dis
tricts, Siberia also appeals to a better
| class Of emigrants.
A curious case occurred recently at
Tomsk of the fascination which the
country is beginning TO have upon the
Russian. Two young men, brothers,
determined to seek their fortunes in
the gold-bearing regions supposed to
be within reach of that town. They
were residents Of one of the western
Polish provinces, and having no
money to pay their way to the land of
gold they went to the local police,
and, announcing that they were ST.
berian resident" exiles who had
forgotten their place of origin
were sent with the usual convict gang
at the government expense to Tomsk.
There they revealed their ruse to the
authorities and were imprisoned while
the customary voluminouS CORES
pondence took place between the vari-
Gus authorities concerned. They are
said to be still lying in prison some
three months after their attempt to
better themselves in this original
manner. The trick of forgetting"
ones name and place of origin is an
old ruse employed by escaped con-
victs TO set back to Siberia with only
the fiogging invariably inflicted on
that class, but without the increase of
sentence imposed if the authorities
can trace the man. These tricksters
are known as "Johnny-Dunno-My-
Name" and their numbers find plenty
CT employment for the police all over
the country. 1t is an interesting
sign of the times that these two young
men, who had received a good educa-
ton, should be following the example
of the peasant, who is always only too
ready to listen to any stories of the
promised land of plenty, whether, as
now, it be located in Siberia or, as
was the case few years ago, in
South America.-Moscow Correspond

COURTSHIP IN JAPAN.

There exists in Japan, among some
of the classes, a certain custom of hir-
ing a midwoman, nakoda, or profess
sional matchmaker, in order to make
an engagement between a couple it
often happens that a family will desire
an alliance with another family with
whom they are not Intimately ac-
GRANTED. Then are thc services of
the IICfesiora matchmaker invalua-
bIc. To be successful in such a pro-
fcSsiOn one must never BE- known as
such to the family she de1ires to court.
Very octen nakodas and midwCmen
fellow this profession for years and
yet are net known as such save to
those who have employed them. Most
Of the metrhnakers are very honest,
and it is their d1sy to discover all the
good and bad points of the couple ard
point them out to the parents; they
give gCod advice end do everything
possible to prCmo.e the happiness of
the pair. They t.avel be- k and forth
to the homes of the young people, who
are entirely ignorant of their motive,
carrying compliments and presents
and trying in delicate manner to
work on their sentiment. Marriage in
Japan is only civil contract, and not
in any way religious one. 1t is pro-
tectod by law ard social obligations.
The chuch and state do net concern
themselves a. all in marital affairs.
The chief peculiarly abort the cere-
mOny is the exchanging of cups of sake
a liquad), nine times; three times the
bride, three times the groom, three
times the midwoman who works be-
tween the pair in making the engage
ment. Toward the end of the cere-
mony singer sings song called TAX
asago, which narrates the loving and
happy life of an ol0 couple. Thus the
ceremony closes, the last notes of he
singers beautiful melody remaining in
the air, charming all. The last stage
of girl life is over .-Onoto Walanna

We are indebted to the Electrical En-
gineer (now merged into the Electrical
World and Electrical Engineer) for
the accompanying portrait of the late
John Kreusi, who at the time of his
death was chief mechanical engineer
of the General Electric company and
who for many years was associated
with Edison in the development Of his
inventions Mr.. Kreusi was born in
Spercher, Canton AppenZen, Switzer-
land, in 1913, and went to work in
machine shop at an early age. From
1867 to 1870 he lived in Paris, working
there IN various mechanical industries.
At the outbreak of,the Franco-German
war he went to London, where he
stayed for some months, and finally
resolved to make his home in the
United States, which he reached in De-
cember, 1870. After serving with the
Singer Sewing Machine company at
Elizabeth, n. j., for two years. he en-
tered the employ of Edison, with whom
he remained as foreman and assistant
in experimental work until 1881, when
he became general manager Of the

AUSTRIA SNUBS MEXICO'S AMBAS-
SADOR.

Diplomats here say there is no foun-
datiOn tor the stories that ..rAUr AS
piroz, the new ambassador fl ION Mex
leo, has been given the cold shoulder
because he was the public prosecutor
Of Mexico when the unfortunate Maxi
milan was condemned to death. They
fully recognize the fact tGat Senior AS
uiroz acted only in an official capacity
and strictly in harmony with his man
ifest duty to his country.
He has been invited to the French
and British embassies, and the Ger
man ambassador showed him marked
attention at the dinner given to the
Mexican ambassador by ex-senator
Henderson last week. d. after to-
morrow Secretary and Mrs. Hay give
a dinner in honor of the Mexican diplo-
mat.
Of course the Austrians are not cor
dial. That fact is not at all personal
to Senior Aspiroz, however. Emperor
Franz Josef has never forgiven the
Mexicans for killing his brother, and
| Austria has never been represented at
| death. There are no diplomatic rela-
| tons between the two countries at all,
so of course Baron Hengelmuller and
| Senior Aspiroz meet in Washington as
| private citizens and neither can recog-
nize the other officially. This condi-
| ton of affairs would be the same who
ever the Mexican ambassador was.
The other countries are represented
at the City of Mexico and &c course re-
| ceive the Mexican AMBASSADOR in
Washington exactly as they DO other
| diplomats. To do otherwise would be
a serious diplomatic offense. Ambas-
sador Aspiroz understands the situa-
ton perfectly and is fully satisfied with
| his position, both socially and polit-
| tcally.

MIGRATION TO SIBERIA.
Fascination Exercised Upon the Rus
slams by the Great East

In the last three years nearly half
a million Russians of the peasant class
are known officially to have migrated
from European Russia to various parts
of Siberia. They are chiefly drawn
from the grain-growing districts,
which have suffered four serious
famines since the year 1891. AL
though the peasant cannot legally
quit his land without special permits
sion from the government, very many
cases are recorded of peasants slipping
away from all their liabilities at home
and making for the Ell Dorado which
they believe Siberia to be. 1t is GER
tain that the full total OF migrations
IS much more than accounted for by
the official figures. These reached

FOR SHORT-WAISTED WOMEN.

The woman whose figure is rather
square than tapering requires fitting
and trimmings with a running in at
the waist-line with pointed effect, ana
to accentuate this keep a broad look at
the shoulders by the addition OF broad
collars, revers or shoulder caps. And
the belt-for she is bound to wear a
belt in this day-sGould have a decided
drop in front with a sharp-pointed eff
feet. Belts are now made promi-
nent feature of a bodice, and most OF
them differ in color and material from
the waist: but the snort-waisted wom-
an must always wear her belt in uue
same coloring as the bodice if she
wishes to give apparent length to her
waist.

later this company was merged into
the Edison machine works, OF winch
he became assistant general manager,
retaining that position both in New
York ana after the removal OF the
works to Schenectady. Upon the for
nation Of the General Electric COM
pany in 1892, Kreusi was made general
manager of the Schenectady works,
and in 1896 he became chief mechanl-
cal engineer to the company, which
position he held at the time of his
death During his long connection
with Edison, Kreusi made many i'm
portant improvements and inventions
in machine tools. He had large ana
varied electrical knowledge, particular
" in his keen recollection OF numerous
experiments which had turned out
failures, and of the reason why success
along some particlar line could not be
achieved. Most of all, says Modern
Machinery, from which we take the
above particulars, he was prized by
troops of friends for the abso-
lutte honesty of every side of his char
acter.

CHAPTER VII.

The ballroom at Lynnewolde was a,
magnificent apartment Nothing could
be in better taste than the decora-
tions The scene was picturesque and
dazzling: the innumerabTe lights, the
rich hangings, the costly and fragrant
flowers, the exquisite dresses of the
ladies, the cleaning OF rich jewels.
Faint, exquisite perfumes seemed to
steal upon the air, the music was of
the best, and the whole scene one of
animation and enjoyment.
If Lord Lynne could have consulted
his own inclination he would have
opened the ball with Agatha, but the
Countess of Strathdale and her daugh
ter, Lady Victoria, were present, and
the stern etiqeutte pointed to the tall,
plain Scotswoman, and Philip could
not but obey.
Keep the first waltz for me,
Agatha he whispered.
4 have just promised Allan," she
replied. Il am so sorry. Ask Inez;
she likes Waiting"
And again, as Lord Lynne drew near
his cousin, he was struck with her
astonishing beauty. Inez had arrayed
herself for conquest that evening
He loves magnificence," she said to
herself, "and my dress shall please
him." and please him it did, for his
eyes rested upon her as they would
have done upon some rare picture
Her dress was of some glowing soft
material, mingled white and gold. A
coronet of superb opals, the last gift
of her father, shone in the midst o.
her wealth of hair, opals were claspeG
round the firm white throat and the
exquisite arms, and deep crimson
rose, artistically placed in the bodic,
of her dress, gave sufficient color tt
relieve the white. The brilliant pas
sionate face was radiant in its beauty
the dark eyes flashed as they hat
never done before, for she had hope
at last,-this naughty girl who spurn
ed alike love and lovers, that Lor
Lynne loved her She had, no reaso
for it, save that his eyes had softene
when he gaZed upon her, and his lip
had touched her hand: he was coming
too, to ask her for the waltz, tn
dreamy delicious music of which ha
just begun. If she had known b
sought her in compliance wit
Agatha's request, she would not hav
smiled assent. She would hav
trampled upon her own heart rattle
