gun, it was accidentally discharged,
the SHOT taking effect in the head of
his little four year old sister, killing
her instantly. The little one was
not over eight feet from the muzzle
of the gun when it was discharged.
The accident has SO grieved the little
fellow that 1t is feared he may lose
his mind. The same old story is
told concerning the gun, that is, no

Brain Stimulant.

Sleep is the best brain stimulant.
The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry
anything through is to go direct to bed,
and to stop there as long as he can.
Sleep is the only recuperator of brain
power. During sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood, which takes the place
of those which have been consumed
by previous labor, since every act Of
thinking burns up solid particles just
as every turn of the wheel or screw of
steamer is the result of consumption
by fire of fuel in the furnace.

and stcadincss and n year ago was de-
clared to be nearing completion.
Changes in the Line.
Changes have been necessitated in
the line by recent events in China
originally only one port on the Pacific
was thought of, Nladivostock and that
was to be reached, first, by a northerly
and then by Il southerly bend entirely
through Russian territory. But owing
to interests obtained by Russia in Man
churia 1t was deemed ineXpedient to
veyed. and accordingly new line di-
rect from lrkutsk southwest to Nladi-
vostock was adopted. Still more recent
events in China have caused another
change In the main line to be made, and
I'm consequence not Nladivostock but
Port Arthur will be the terminus on
the Pacific. SO that the tranS-Siberian
Railroad divides into three prongs as
near approach Is made to the Pacific.
One prong goes straight on to Nladi-
vostock, another strikes down through
Manchurla and third bears in south
erly direction down to Port Arthur,
Either of these latter is shorter cut
to the sea by several hundred miles, the
Port Arthur route being the shortest
Of the three. Nladivostock is not to be
abandoned; it will have its railroad and
be made in consequence commercial

advantage of being during one-half the
year under snow and ice. Port Arthur
is open the year round. But this latter
