FeudaIism in Hungary.

Inconceivable as the anachronism may seem to the western mind, the agrarian system of Hungary has not yet issued from the feuda1 form. The Hungarian farmer of today is virtually a serf, bound to his master, the hered- itary owner of the soil which the peas ant tills. by the tangible tie of per- sonal liability. The Hungarian feudal lord of today is entitled to fifty days labor from each male adult who dwells on his land. The seignior 'z at liberty to degnand this feudal contribution at whatever time may seem best to him, with the frequent result that the ten ant farmer is employed in gathering his masters harvests while his own crops are rotting after rainfall or are being consumed by an, early frost or sNffer damage from one or more of the many possible causes which rem der destructive the slightest delay on the part of the harvester in gathering the fruits of a years labor.-S. Ivan Tonjoroff, in Arena.

Had Many Escapes from Death.

General Sir Arthur Cotto.-. whose death at the age of 95 was recently an- nounced, was so i'll ia Persia sixty-four years ago that his grave was dug in readiness for his death. At the age Of IS he went through the Burmese war, caught the jungle fever many times, and was, as the old man him. self expressed it, obliged to quit India three times under sentence of death, by the doctors. Twice he had sunstroke and once the skin of half his body was torn off by boiler explosion. After forty-fve years of battling with saw ages and microbes the old man gave in and returned to England to die-ac- eording to the doctors. It was the aged generals firm conviction that by ab- stinence from drink and tobacco he had placed his lifelong enemy, death, un- der tremendous disadvantage.

Making Ducks Lay Black Eggs.

According to writer in French scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns. which they will eat ravenously, rot unfrequentiy lay black eggs. The req son is that their eggshell is naturally rich in iron, and this combines with the tannin in the acorn to produce a good fast black. The same paper states that if fowls are fed on boiled lobster shells they will lay bright red eggs.

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats win Make the Biva,ve
 More Accessible.


 The submarine boat will revolution ize the oyster industry When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission of the owners. procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new Argonaut can employ this method of gathering oysters, rising to the surface when her diving-room is full, or send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- eeptacles, which those on the surface can haul up. When bays and rivers are frozen over and oystermen cannot ply their trade the Argonaut can go under the ice. Fishing can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets. for the fish have no fear of the object they evidently consider a whale, and swim from every direction toward the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention of the first suc- cessfu1 submarine voyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer, for the supply in shallow water is running short The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet. and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut will go and, gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at price no great CT than that paid for the common va riptieS She will a1so try npar1 fshinp now conducted at an enormous expense of life, for by a strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found in localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water, need not fear, and her div CTS, insead of gathering up the oysters by the single handful, can gather them by the bushel.-Lippincott

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES
Frauds in the Construction of the si-
 berian Railway.

berian Railway.
 It is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tutelage of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would have been apt pupils. They certainly have a trick or two that would put their American compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works have been executed in a man. ner that shows very little conscience. Everything, or nearly everything, will have to be done over again before the =aa~5.=sties can think of throwing open
 tic line to regular working.
 =.4,ay places the road gives s,. the passage of 8 train a little nes 2 than usual or travelling at spe@d of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage is demanded of any one undertaking journey on this rail- way. This construction a Ia Russe has
 
 lions of rubles, or, to speak more truthfully, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how it will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are, moreover, closely controlled by the local eensors, publish the following cfa far r, nayvy contractors have not been paid in cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de- clared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds. which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at 81a per cent. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and in consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as intermedia fies between the government engineers and the contractors. It was only when one Of these engineers, Prince A, who had made fortune, undertook to be personally responsible to the banks that they resumed the functions of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly, seeing that he claims little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing to the clause inserted in all the con- tracts to the effect that disputes be- tween the engineers and the contract ors of the line have to be settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge complaint 5000 miles from the spot where the circumstances have occurred is at least inconvenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu- nate navvies themselves can be imag ined from the treatment of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very and always with dedue- tions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it is not surprising if they give only half a heart to the work.

North and South take ten tricks.
Trick South is justified in playing
the Bath Coup, especially as his trumps
are in tenace.
Trick with a long-established suit,
as he supposes, four trump and a re-
entry, West very properly leads trumps.
Trick 3-South adopts the conserva-
tive course.
Trick 4West is evidently short, and
will probably ruff on the next round,
which South has no objection to his
doing, as West is the strong trump
hand, and the lead from him afterwards
must be suitable to South.
The deal is peculiar in more than one
respect. Ten tricks are taken by one
hand, which Is not overwhelmingly
strong, for there are one Ace, three
guarded Kings, two guarded Queens.
and six trumps against it, and the en-
tire thirteen tricks fall to two hands.
It is very seldom indeed that two play
ers in a deal fail to take any tricks.
The deal as played by four average
players resulted in a variation OF four
tricks.-Leon and Leigh in St Louis

PARIS, December 14.-Why do they
skate in evening dress? Because, being
in evening dress, they wish to skate.
The Ice Palace is the most fashionable
of all Paris resorts, and its clientele
puts on evening dress for dinner. This
is why next New Years Eve, when they
have planned a gorgeous night feast,
you will see the strange sight OF a
hundred and more men, in swallow
tails. sandwiched between as many
fiush-faced damsels in V cut corsages,
careering round and round, their hands
upon each others backs, in the great
single-file f%arandole that will typify
the exit of the year.
1T is just as correct in the afternoon.
Then you will see them skating in
frock coats and fancy vests, the wom-
en- being in those calling costumes seen
at 5 O'Clock teas. The men who lounge
around the broad, low galleries with
their cigarettes and high priced Ameri-
can mixed drinks think almost as much
about their clothes as do the gentler
ones. And those who do not come to
skate-the great majority-make 1t
their afternoon rendezvous to COULTER
the French equivalent to taking tea
with the result that the place is con-
tinually bright and lively. l know
men who do not skate at all, yet come
