TIE EECFIIMCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

Russia is busy at the west as well as at the east. She is improving her harbor at Vladivostock and taking pos- session of Port Arthur and Talien- Wan and completing her gree< railroad thither. At the same time she is push ing toward the Atlantic ocean, too, and preparing to establish great ice-frea port thereon. We have hitherto told Of the renaissance of Archangel and the opening of railrcad connecting that ancient city directly with Moscow and all Russia. That is an important step. But it is not enough. For Archangel is near the inner end of the White sea, and that sea opens into the Arctic ocean. What Is wanted is a port on the Atlantic, or at least on the Arctic, near the Atlantic, and that is exactly what Russia Is now endeavcring to secure The first step is the opening, or reopen ing, of the old port of Kola. That is on the Murmanian coast, well Up to- ward the Norwegian frontier At that point the Arctic ccean is practically always navigable, instead of being for months choked up with ice. as is the White sea at Archangel. And it Is 500 miles nearer the Atlantic than is Arch angel. It has the disadvantage of be- ing much further away from Moscow and St. Petersburg, and not connected with them by river or railroad. But the enterprise that runs a railroad across Siberia can be trusted to build one across Finland and Lapland. Large appropriations have been made from the imperial treasury for the improve ment of the port of Kola, or rather of Ekaterina, a little lower down oG the river, and that place will dourt- less soon become considerable cente; ol commerce.

 "Oh, yes, there are. We have had over half dozen of that kind here this morning to take the place we have"

Around the lower part of the bag a design made up of large and small buttons of various col DTS can be worked out. and with Asiatic dyed rope or Roman floss silk a few long and short stitches can be taken above and below the large buttons to add to the appearance Of the design.

Household Hints.

In every ice chest in the land should be placed a saucer containing charcoal Especially valuable in summer is this purifying agent.
 Watch your garbage cans, that they offend not your nasal organ. Carbolic acid is cheap, and after each emptying should be used to purify these utensils.

A new law adopted in Italy requires that every employer shall, at his own cost, provide for his worllmen com pensation for all accidents the conse- quenees of which last more than five days. The compensation under the iaw is as follows: If there shall result from tue accident disablenent of a complete and permanent nature tho compensation shall be an amount equivalent to five times the mans yearly wages, but in any case not less than $6Q0 This amount is, as rule, to be invested in life annuity for the benefit of the injured workman.

A Handsome Button Bag.

A bag is one of the most convenient receptacles for small buttons, and a pretty one of medium size, nicely made and decorated, will be useful in a girls room. To make it, cut from a stout piece of cardboard round disk 31z inches in diameter, to act as button. Cover it with muslin; then select some pretty plain or figured material for the bag. Plush, eretonne, silk and denim are all serviceable goods and offer a wide variety to choose from. Allow the bag to have depth of inches, and one inch from the top arrange draw strings to close the opening or mouth of the bag. Inclose the cardboard in

enough to bring it under the "shoul- der" of the decanter. Doubled, it is pushed into the decanter. and then it spreads apart, leaving the long end out side and the short one inside. This end is lifted carefully and as it is it dis places the center of gravity which is brought directly under the point of sus- pension. It is well for the performer to have two or three extra pieces of straw, to be sure to find one without crook or break.

Where Boys Yeu i'm School.

Tn Burmese schools making the lads shout is the approved method of ele- mentary instruction. The Burmese educatlonalists argue that so long as a boy Is shouting his mind is occupied. When he is silent he is certain to be scheming mischief. Therefore the best shouters are the best pupils.
