PEN PICTURE OF ToLsToI.

A Russion writer named Sergyeenko
has published book descriptive of
Tolstoi's appearance and manner OF
life. He is "a giant old man, Of medi-
um stature, with the typical face OF
the Russian peasant" He wears a
dark gray flannel blouse, with wide.
turn-down collar, displaying his sin
envy neck at the curves of the head.
He appeared neither older nor younger
than his age, and produced the impress
sion of a well-preserved, energetic
peasant" Tolstoi explains how he
quarrelcd with Turgeneff. The latter
had written Fathers and Children and
asked Tolstoi to read It. The latter
made the fatal mistake Of lying down
to the task Pretty soon he fell asleep.
Il awoke," he says. with a queer SEN
sation, and when / opened my eyes I
beheld Turgenef's gigantic figure re-
firing from the study"

TELEPHONES ON THE FARM.

The organizer of a successful farm
system can be installed at low cost.
The first requisite is TO secure at least
one man who has sufficient practical
knowledge of electricity to superin-
tend the work of installation. Tele-
phones to serve the purpose fairly Well
can be bought for $11 to $12 wholesale,
and an extra quality can be secured
for SIS, with two-jar battery power
and with adjustable arm attached to
transmitter. The cheaper instruments,
however, will last for years for farm
work. They are easy to handle and adj
just, and carry sound perfectly pro-
vided the battery is kept in working
order. Too many telephones should
not be placed on one circuit, or the
talk will be weak, from the resistance
being excessive.
One farm circuit, which runs a
distance of three miles, has ten in
struments on it. This is about all 1t
can carry, especially as it is wired
with common No. II galvanized wire,
which is liable to rust, and thus in
volve greater resistance to the current.
Copper is now being substituted for
iron on some lines which were orig
inally put up at the lowest possible
cost. Copper is better transmitter of
current and does not impair the dis
tinctness of the talk by corrosion. The
average cost of iron wire for farm lines
is about 81 per mile, while No. IA cop
per can be had for $21. The poles may
measure six to eight inches at the base
and four inches at the top, and twenty
three feet long. They should be put
three to four feet in the ground and
IT'S feet apart. Locust poles are very
serviceable.
When the instrument has been put
up in the house and an insulated wire
run out to meet the line outside ground
connections should be made by put
ting copper wire or rod down, say,
four feet in damp soil outside or in the
cellar. This is needed to make the cir
cult only when one line of wire is used
insteadof two II is common practice
to start out the line wire slack from
the house to the first pole near it, so
that the vibration from the main wire
will not be brought into the house, TO
the possible annoyance and distrub-
ance OF nervous people.-St. Louis

The Calaveras skun was found about
thirty years ago by gold miners, who
were driving tunnel under a noun

canic origin. Biologists reasoned that
the lava must have flowed down a val
ley, and they believed that in that val
ley there was once, ages ago, a stream.
They were of the opinion that there
was gold in that stream, and a mining
company proceeded to drive a tunnel
under one of the mountains, on the
theory that they would strike the en-
cient bed of the stream and find gold
in it.
Ihey did find the bed of prehistoric

Inc tea imported into the United
states comes chiefly from China and
Japan and in larger amounts from
China than from Japan. Very little
Ceylon or Indian tea relatively. is i'm.
ported into the United States. though
there has been a large increase in the
English market for both of recent
years, and the policy of the English
government has been to favor such i'm
portations rather than those from
China and Japan. Twenty years ago
only IL per cent. of the tea imported
into England was from India or Cey-
Ion; now more than 20 per cent. of the
tea imported comes from those coun-
tries. The collections of the English
government last year from customs
duties on tea amounted to SIG, zoo, 900 !;
the customs revnues from coffee were
only 100000. One of the curiosities
OF tea drinking is found in its popu-
larity in Canada, and one of the curl
osities of coffee drinking is found a
France, where, Notwithstanding the al
most universal use of coffee with
meals the average consumption per
capita is only about S1s pounds, or
about one-third o, what it is in the
United States. In Great Britain the
consumption of coffee is less than 1
pound year per capita and of tea it
is more than 5 pounds. Scientists are
not agreed as to the relative merits or
dement's of tea and coffee drinking.
