The hitherto unavailable forests of
the extreme northeast part of Russia
in Europe are about to be made ac-
cessible, and within short time the
fine redwood trees of those virgin
forests bordering on the Arctic Circle
will be put upon the English and
other European markets in the shape
of lumber. A commission has been
granted to q strong Swedish company,
with cutting rights, to fell about one
million trees in the basin of the
Petchora River, and arrangements
have been made for transportation of
the logs down to the mouth of the
river and along the coast westward to
the port of Oserka, on the Murman
coast, Kola Peninsula, within few
hours steaming of tho Norwegian
frontier.

Speed of an Automobile.

yet recorded Is nearly sixty-six miles
an hour. A Belgian inventor, M. Ca
mile Jenatzy, In April this year de-
termined, II possible. to break the
kilometer record Of 80 3-5 seconds
made by Count de Chasseloup Laubat.
The curse was a perfectly straight
and level road running through the
new sewage farm lying of the high
way between Saint German and Con-
stance. The car which Jenatzy rode
was the "Jamais Contente." which 10
built OF sheet-iron. and is torpedo
shaped so as to offer as little resistance
to the wind as possible. The first kilO.
meter was ridden In AZ As seconds.
and the second In "a seconds, which Is
equivalent to los. 1892 kilometers (65
miles 1,404 yards) In the hour. la
Jamais Contente" is not ever yet satis-
fed, for Jenatzy thinks that he will be
able to do the flying kilometer at the
rate OF about 100 kilometers, or about
70 miles an hour.

The young woman. Of course, walks

In the least sensitive about the mat

properly introduced people Of the ma
ture OF the accident which manned
her. She has set a little limit, however.
and she was compelled to use 1t one
afternoon recently. She got into an r
street car, bound for the hill. and
found herself In the same seat with a
sharp-faced woman, who seemed to
take a whole lot of interest In her and
her crutches. She scrutinized the
young woman's face carefully for q
couple OF minutes, then turned her at
tention to the workmanship OF the
crutches, which she took the liberty to
handle c~uriously. Then she looked the

Il asked the same question OF Col.
de Lisle," said the old villain, with an
air OF relief. "and he gave me an af-

ised to send a clergyman to the corner

Col. de Lisle was Obliged to start for
Lyons this morning on important bust

was agreed. however, that the rever-
end gentleman should wear upon his
breast a peculiar black cross, and 1t

desk In one corner OF the room. This
he unlocked, and took therefrom a
stout anvas bag. which was half filed
with glittering gold. lie laid the bag
before me, and then continued:

and so applied to NJ. Levane for per-
mission to argue the case with her. He
readily consented to this. and | took
the unwilling bride aside and ex-
planned the circumstances of the case
to her. She was at first inclined to
doubt my statements, but / succeeded
In convincing her Of my t%ruthfulness
at length. and by my advice she CON
scented to let the ceremony proceed,
when assured that 1t would be a mere
farce.

as a d%iplomatist. and the marriage was

for n to select a certain extract and
use 1t alone. Very many women by
experimenting with various perfumes
have discovered combinations which
they use continually. One such has
great merit claimed for 1t by Its dis

be said which the invalid must not

The Common Man ana tho Ideal VITO.
A wife's position In the estimation
OF her husband Is always what she is
not what she claims to be. Men soon
forget what they have said themselves,
but their memories are singularly re-
tentive Of what their wives have said
OF them. Only a woman of ignoble
nature fosters her husbands weak
nesses; a true wife always holds him
up to his best: without Hattsry she
makes him feel that she Is his fondest
admirer. Before no slightest revela-
ton of the godlike does man eve
stand irreverent," says ~Carlyle-least
of all when he sees 1t In the oma
OF his heart and home. More men are
made better by ome than by the
church. Men are grateful for forbear-
ance in their wives. For often while
asserting most loudly that they are
right. they are frequently conscious
that they are wrong. Given a little
time and a little silence they will often
show in actions-rarely in words-that
they have been mistaken. A man ex-
poets his wife to be better than he. No
matter how little religion a man may
have himself. his ideal wife is always
a woman with the purity of soul that
only a Christian can have; and to a
good man 1t is usually part OF his
religion to believe that his wife Is
morally higher and nobler than him
self. No man likes his wife to be his
mere echo, but there are times when
he wants to be agreed with. when 1t
seems sweet and soothing and sympa-
thetic to feel that his judgment guides
her. and that she accepts his estimate
Of men and things. He will be the
more ready to think with her upon
other occasions.
