Russia's Great Efforts TO Encourage
Emigration TO Siberia.
The Russian Government Is now pro
vlding transportation to emigrants
from European Russia who are Willing
to make new homes in Siberia at rates
Of fare that have probably never been
equalled for cheapness.
The third-class tickets sold on the
Russian and Transsiberian railroads
were believed to be about the cheap
est in the world, but the fourth-class
tickets which the Government has re
Gently caused to be offered make the
others a costly luxury by comparison.
These tickets are sold to any one
of 141 stations in Siberia and they are
good from any point in Russia. The
fourth-class passenger, for example,
from Moscow to Tobolsk pays for that
long journey only two roubles, or a lit
tie over 81. On the other hand, If he
wishes to go clear to Yladiyostok by
the railroad and Its steamer connection,

Silent Example that Exerted Poten'
Iaflnence for Good.

Silent Exa mi pie tnat LAe''eN
Iafiuence for Good.
One human beings consciousness OF
another. however brief, often makes
some difference in a life. Mutual In
fiuence is a mental and moral TACT. a
lady gives a pleasant example OF this
in the Unlversalist Leader. A house
keeper after several complaints to ner
grocer because unsound fruit had been
sent her, was one day offered basket
Of peaches and basket of gem melons,
accompanied with this assurance
You will not find single damaged
peach or melon In either Of these pack
ages. II you do l will gladly refund tne
money you pay for them."
She found every peach and melon per-
feet. The housekeeper reported TINS
on her next visit to the dealers store
and asked why he was so positive In
warranting his goods. why" ex-
claimed the man. "Why, because /
have found that the farmer who fur
nished those baskets never senus us
honest packages to market"
The farmers number, among the
commission dealers consignment, was
"135." After that the lady always
bought Number 1875, and the contents
of the baskets never failed in measure
condition or in quality.
Admiration for the conscientious far-
mer grew upon the housekeeper, ana
literally made her more conscientious
herself. She felt ashamed whenever
she was tempted to slight or scamp"
her work. Number 135 seemed to be
looking at her.
One particular that deepened this I'M
preston was the non-appearance In
market on Mondays of any baskets
bearing the favorlte mark. Farmer l3o
would not pack fruit on Sunday, the
dealer said. The housekeeper felt her
face flush when that was said. She had
never been so scrupulous.
The summer and autumn passed, but
the sermon of the faultless fruit contin-
ued to preach to its buyer when she
could buy no more. Careless lapses OF
duty frequently brought up the thought
Number 1876 would not have done
that" She remembered and thanked
the unknown man whose integrity had
strengthened and helped her. His rec
titude represented to her the presence
of the sinless Teacher.
The above instance is but one among
thousands of the power of involuntary
influence. A good mans life Is one of
the moral tonlcs of society. His silent
example is In itself blessing to the
world.

nRApsTReeT.s REPORT.
The Distributive Trade Is seasonabIy

Bradstreet's says: Distributiye trade

products are generally weak, but ex-
ceptions to the former are found where

the readjusting movement has been
oyerdone on the down side.
The upward rush Of wheat prices

since. mainly due 10 heavy realizing,
would mainly point to the movement
having been temporarily at least over
done. Adyices from the North are Of
little more than half crop of wheat.
but estimates as to the outturn in bush-
els vary accordingly as the government
reports Of $4,000. 900 bushels, or the
commercial estimate OF 200, 900. 900
bushels in yield last year in the three
states are used as a basis.
Sugar is at the highest price reached
at this time for 10 years past, owing to
the active canning demand and the
strengthened position OF raw.
The war in China is chargeable wit
the advance in teas, not only from the
former country. but from Japan, some
interruption in transportation being
apparently looked for If the Asiatic
trouble increases.
Heavy rains are complained of in the
entire cotton belt east OF the Mississip-
pi river, and the crop is generally "in

Reports from the iron and steel trade
are as pessimistic as ever. Nominally
quotations at Pittsburg are unchanged.

One day they came upon the Right

staff rode at the rear of the command.
"Burn," said the general as he sent
for sergeant and pointed out the lit

with a small detachment of troopers,
for the burning of farm houses was a
