FOREIGN GOSSIP.

the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor. it was called the flying

The big cities of Russia are as fol-
lows: The population of ST. Peters
burg is 1~,132,677; Moscow, with its
two suburbs. sss.614; Odessa. 0 .o41- a
great increase since 1892. and Warsaw,
626.072.
The castle at Brindisi, built by the
Hohenstaufen Emperor Friedrich H.,
IS now used as a prison. The grounds
are full of vipers, and every summer
SIX to ten of the criminals are killed
by them.
Glasgow is not so free from taxes as
most Americans believe, for the re-
eeiPts from the numerous industrial
plants belonging to the city are not al
lowed by law to be used for the i'm
proving and cheapening of the article
on which the profit was made.
In Australia a novel idea has been in
troduced for wedding out the "man who
doesn't. dance" Each lady has a slip
OF paper perforated in squares, one
square for each dance on the pro-
gramme; she gives one of these
coupons to her partner at the end Of
each dance and any man who cannot
produce a fair percentage Of coupons

Recent estimates are to the effect
that asphalt is being dug out of the
famoustar lakes of Trinidad-the most
notable existingsources of the material

per annum. There are still 10000
tons in sight. but at this rate the sup
ply could not last long were il not that
the lake of bitumen referred to is re-
ceiving a constant accretion from the

Thus. not long ago, a farm laborer in
England was sued for damages because

eepting "arles." Any good dictionary
should tell what aries are. but not one
in the courtroom seemed to know about
the word or the CUSTOM. In the north
country speech ~"arles' are earnest
money, the equivalent of the queens
shilling" which the recruit takes when
he enlists. 1t is supposed that the word
comes from the Norman French.

IN SIBERIA
Poor People Are Accustomed to Sell
Their Young Children Into
d.

In the district of Yakutsk, in ST.
oeria. the sale of young children is
not only. a custom of old standing,
but has become a kind of recognized
industry. The price of a child varies
from ten to Is rubles. The pur-
chasers OF these living wares" are
usually Russian exiles and govern
ment officials. The sellers are the ma
tive Siberians. 1t very frequently
happens that the banished convicts
buy their own illegitimate offspring
from the native mothers. The custom
of selling children among the Yakuts
has not improbably arisen and been
fostered by the stress of poverty. In
the northern part of that region the
winter lasts fully nine months. Til
lage is impossible. There are no
home industries and the coasts are
too far distant for fishing operations.
The only occupation is the chase of
furred game and that is alike meager
and improbable. The Yakut sells his
children to preserve his miserable
homestead and feed his famished cat
tie. He prefers to sell his offspring
to Russian buyers, but usually he has
no scrupTes as to the personality of
the purchaser so long as the money is
forthcoming.
The usual object of the buyer is to
have the benefit of the child's labor
until it comes of age. Until they
reach the age of 81 years these young
people, male and female, are the alb
solute slaves of the buyers. Girls are
sometimes married by their owners
before they come of age, but those
are the exceptional cases. More fire.
quently they are made to serve the
vile purposes of their masters. It is
said that the Russians themselves
nave to a certain degree adopted the
detestable practice of selling their
children. In these cases the sellers
are convict exiles and the buyers gov
eminent officials.

Il ITALIAN BEE.
Why 1t is More Profitable Than the
Common Stock and Superior
to the Hybrids.

The Italian is the most profitable
bee. Even the hybrids are much su-
perior to the common bee. Sometimes
there are colonies of hybrids hat are
better than the pure stock. But, as
q writer correctly said: Even if it
were true that hybrids produce as
much honey as pure italians. each
beekeeper would want at least one
queen of absolute and known purity;
for although a first cross might do
very we'll, unless he had this one pure
queen to furnish queen cells he would
o o have bees of all possible grades,
from the faintest trace of Italian
blood. all the way up. The objection
to this course is that these blacks,
with about one band to show trace Of
Italian blood, are the wickedest bees
to sting hat can well be imagined,
being very much more vindictive than
either race in its purity: they also
have a very disagreeable way of tum-
bling off the combs in a perfectly
demoralized state whenever the hive
is opened. except il the height of the
honey season. and of making a gen
eral uproar when they are compelled,
by smoke. to be decent. Our pure
Italian stocks can be opened at any
time and their queens removed,
scarcely disturbing the cluster, and
as a general thing without the use of
any smoke at all. Oy one who is fully
conveFsant with the habits of bees.
A good many hybrids will not repel
the moth. as do the h~alf-bIoods and
the pure Italians. For these reasons
and several others, rear all queens
from one of known purity. If we do
this we may haveaImost if not quite
the full benefit of the Italians as
honey gatherers, even though there
are black bees all about u.s."
