How Women Dress in Siberia.

Commentaries women in Siberia wear shawls or kerehiefs on their heads while the rich women wear no head covering whatever. A traveller recent ly returned from that part of the world says that a Russian woman who is otherwise trim and modern in dress will go about with her hair dish eveled to the point of the ludicrous. Less attention is paid to the head and feet than to other parts of their toilet
 Tt is odd enough to see them" says this same writer, edefying dripping decks and muddy roads in the thinnest of #heelless slippers. while the breezes play havoc with the loose tresses of their hair Their shirtwaist is fem mine terror, with a broad turnover collar, fancy cuffs. cotton bows, many buttons and numerous frtils. in place of the natty American shirtwaist.

s SMALLPPES
And Mild Tobacco Satisfy the Desires

of Japanese Smokers.
 Washington Star: You may have noticed that the Japanese who visit America are very moderate smokers, , said prominent Japanese now travel ing in the United States. Those of my eountrymen who indulge in the weed mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes filled with the mild est tobacco obtainable. Of course, there are Japanese who, like some Americans, have such a craving for to- baceo that nothing less than the strongest cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy them But such smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As rule. my countrymen, while at home and abroad, are satisfied with short smokes such as cigarette or a tiny pipe affords. The Japanese are moderate smokers, not so much be- cause they are small people, but for the reason that up to within recent years but very little tobacco came into Japan and the tariff on it was very h49h. be1ng a poor put frugal race, the masses purchased only limited quantities of the weed. which. as mat ter of economy. they have for genera tions been taught to smoke in only the tiniest of pipes. These pipes the most popular of which hold about as much tobacco as would fill an ordinary thim- bic. are the survival of the days when money was scarce. tobacco dear and the tariff high. In another generation Or two, when Japan shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of the world. my countrymen will nc doubt smoke large quantities of tobac- co, and then the small pipes will be abandoned for big ones. such as Eng lishmen and Americans now smoke"

Inventor Declares It Will Remain sn

Air Week at Time.
 The Swiss newspapers announce the forthcoming "Iaunch" of new airship over-not on-the Lake of Constance, says the London News. It's inventor IS Count von Zeppelin, a retired German
 CT. who has for many years studied 5 t..ss5ion of steering balloons. He .loA claims to have solved the prob- lea of the light motor An aeroplane buIit by him is reported to have devel- oped sufficient power to tow boat on the River Inn at speed of nine miles an hour. To minimize the risks of an unforeseen fall the count has selected the Lake of Constance as the scene of his decisive experiment. It's area of over 300 square miles will, he believes, be sufficient to enable him to execute all necessary evolutions. The vessel is "moored' at Friedrichshafel and is supported by sixty pontoons. There is a gas works in the vicinity. The in- ventor keeps the mechanism of his air. ship secret and has taken stringent pre- cautions to warn off the curious All that is known is that the vessels pro- portions are fmmense-over $50 feet long and nearly fifty feet in diameter. It v cylindrical. with conieal extremi- ties, and is divided internally by strong partitions. The hull" is of silk, stretched over a skeleton of aluminium. The power is supplied by two motors, placed beneath the cylinder one at each e-d. The propelling principle is the ordinary screw, but there are three special devices for steering. Count von Zeppelin declares that his machine will be able to rise to height of over 5000 feet, lift weight of nearly two tons, travel at speed of ten yards a sec ond, and remain in the air for week at a time

vices.
An inquest has been held over the

Der of years and in her last hours, we
learned that her faith in Christ was
mistaken.
Farewell, dear mother, can it be,
No more on earth your face to seer
Ills hard to say adieu! adieu!
God thought it best, and called for
you.
Sleep on, dear mother, take your rest
God called you home, He thought
it best,
Twas hard, indeed, to say good by,
And realize that you must die.
Could you but live and speak once
more,
Our bleeding hearts would feel less
sore.
Our mother, we think, at the pearly
gate stands, -,
Watching, looking and for US will
wait.
Till life's threads are cut and we
mount on high,
To meet our friends, beyond the
sky,
Prepare us, Lord, that we may meet
mother dear,
In Glory to walk the golden
streets.
