Early next year, at Bell Horizonte,
the the capital of Minos Geraes, an ex-
position will be held under the auspices
of the Brazilian government. American
manufacturers are invited to exhibit
electrical, mining, agricultural, and
other mechanical appliances, and it is
stated that the expense connected with
such exhibits will be comparatively
small, while the facilities and oppor-
tHHities for making a good show and
obtaining profitable business will be
considerable. Firms that wish to ex-

There are strange people. The
canopy over that most sacred spot upon
american soil-Plymouth Rock-has
been defaced by vandals. The act to
all appearances was deliberately done.
This canopy is Of granite, Is by IS feet
and 30 feet high, being built in the form
of four piers with arched openings, and
surmounted by granite roof. The
square stones on either side of the
western entrance are bruised and the
angles broken off, while marks of other
hammering are plain on various parts
Of the base. A reward has been offered
by the Pilgrim Society for the detection
of the vandal. To make perfect re-
pair on the canopy the entire structure
may have to be rebuilt.

writes Trumbull White, in the Chi
cago Record. The Russian peasant
is displaying the same sort of RESTLESS
ness that induced the settlement Of
our own Western States and Terri
tories from the more thickly populats
ed regions Of the East. Indeed, the
Russian peasant always has shown a
willingness to support the ''expans
sion" policy of his Government by.
moving on into the newly annexed
lands and subduing them to. his own
civilization and manner of .develons

quered the country; exiles, political
and criminal; dissenters from the
Greek church, who were either ban
ished to Siberia or went there of their
own accord. That is to say, the orig
inal Russian population of Siberia
consists of men and women WHO were
in some way intellectually or physi-
cally more active or more earnest than
their fellow country men and women
who remained in European Russia.
The result is that to-day the average
Siberian is o more vigorous and intel
ligent man than the average Russian.
He picks up thing more quickly;
his life is richer, brighter.
The Siberian born citizens of the
country do not fail toreaIize these diff
ferences. AlreadyssI have learned that
they want to be called Siberians rath-
or than Russians, and to them the
latter name seems no more correct
than to call the descendants of Eng
lish colonists in the United States
Englishmen instead of Americans.
Already evidences have appeared that
"Siberia for the Siberians" is not an
unknown sentiment.
Provision for the sustenance of the
immigrants on their railway journey
through Siberia lis simple but ade-
quate. Most of the peasantsss bring
with them as much food as possible
of the sort they, relish, in order to
avoid the necessity Of buying on the
way. Ponderous loaves of black
bread, slabs Of died fish and supply
of tea are the chief essentials in this
scommissary department. Each fam
lily carries teapot in addition to cups
and simple dishes, and the individual
traveller must do likewise if he wishes

nut the farmers of the region round

but the farmers Of the region round
about.
Life in these villages OF Siberia is
rude enough, with none of the quail
ties we consider necessary to comfort.
The lands are fertile, yielding ample
crops of grain even with the crude
methods of cultivation in effect. The
plowing is shallow because the plows
are poor. There is little cultivation
after planting. The grain is harvested
with hand sickles and scythes. 1t is
thrashed by horses in the open field,
the grain trampled out Of the straw
by three OF four Siberian ponies trot-
ting around in a small circle. It is
winnowed by hand and ground in
windmills. With all the crudity of
the processes, the yield of wheat, for
instance, is from twenty to thirty fold.
and as high as twenty-five and even
thirty bushels to the acre.
Some of tho landed proprietors have
begun to introduce modern methods
of yiniculture, but the peasants are
slow to adopt them. The grapes ore
robbed of their juices in the simplest
of presses, and the wine is still carted
and stored in bullock hides. A wine
cellar is strange sight, with its rows
CT distorted skins, bulging with the
liquors.
The barbaric style of architecture
such as the Tartars were fond of is
frequently seen in the larger Siberian
towns. Omsk has many mosques OF
this kind. One of the accompanying
large pictures shows business street
in Omsk.

about $1.55. It goes without saying
that the accommodations provided OF
this rate are not luxurious, but they
are quite as good as could be expected
for the price, far more comfortable
than the former method OF travel into
Siberia by long and trying marches
and probably in most instances rela-
lively better than the homes the peo-
pie have had.
The cars themselves in which the
emigrants travel to the land of their
hopes are, the ordinary fourth-class
cars Of the sort one sees all over Rus
sia, inscribed after the invariable
fashion, ''for eight horses or forty
men," They are what,we call box cars
in the United States, painted the fa-
miliar red, with sliding doors opening
in either side.

FASCINATING PLACE TO MARKET.

An Infinite Variety Of Everything-Peas
Sold by tho Saucerrul.
Probably there is no better market
in the whole world than New Orleans
affords. In the historic old French
market the products of every cline
meet on common ground. Here>is
the fine refrigerated beef from Chicago
and Kansas City, kept until it is just
the right mellowness, here are the.
marvellous products in infinite variety
of southern waters-pompano, sleeps
head, deep sea trout, redsnappers,
founders, crabs, shrimp and crawfsh
for the bisque beloved of Creoles, and
thousand nameless varieties of fish
and shellfsh; here iu season may be
bought deer and bear and duck and
wild turkey and snipe and quail and
all the varieties of birds and game we
know in the north, with papabotes
and grasses and delicate little reed
birds to make an epicure's mouth
water merely to look upon them; in
the vegetable department the stalls
heaped with every vegetable you bave
ever known, and many whose names
and usages are unfamiliar to you
queer things from Central American
ports, with queer favors that you first
endure, then adore. Here, squatting
on the outskirts, by the side of their
baskets, are the last remnants of the
Choctaw tribe of Indians, dull, fiat
faced women, with file and bay and
sassafras leaves to sell.
But nothing else is so odd to You as
the fact that in the French market
you have had to adjust yourself to al
entirely new system of measurements.
You cannot buy your peas or potatoes
by the peck or bushel, as you have
been used to all your life. ''How
much?" you ask the market woman in
her stall, and she replies so much a
saucer. There they are, piled up in
neat little pyramid IN a saucer, the
delicate green peas, or the pink new
potatoes, and you haven't the very
slightest idea how many saucerfuls it
will take to make meal for your fam

An odd Tree FROM madagascar.

From Vick's Magazine we get this
picture of the travellers tree, an odd
looking growth indigenous in NADIA
gascar. Botanically it is known as
the Ravenala Madagarcarenis, but its
popular name has been given it from
the belief that water from rain and dew
collects in its leaf stems in sufficient
quantity to .quench travellers thirst.
The water does collect as stated, but
as the plant grows beside water
courses it can hardly be of special
benefit to the traveller, who could
slack his thirst much easier at the
adjacent stream,
