A VERITABLE WHITE CITY.
Archnngcl in Western Russia,
Covered by Mantle of Snow
Most of the Year.

For three months in the winter Arch
angel. now to become the great west
ern port of Russia, scarcely sees the
sun, and for three months in the sum-
mer seldom loses sight of it. Yet
there is no city in the whole of Europe
which lies for so many months-for
the greater part of the year, in fact
under a mantle of snow; and because
of this, the Russian fondly calls it The
White City" says Pearson's Magazine.
White, too. it is in other ways. All
the chief buildings glare with white
paint and blink with white blinds.
The churches-and in a Russian city
they are not few-are also of pure
white; only the cupolas are green, and
the crosses on their SUBMITS gold. And
white are the private houses of the bet
ter sort-eXcept where Norwegians
and Germans live, for buff and blue
and red then streak and diaper the pine
walls and edge of the gable ends. But
street posts, gates, pillars, walls,
fences-these are all white. And in the
summer, for every official you see in
blue or gray tunic, you see ten in
white caps and white uniforms.
Bright color alone is left to the wom-
en- and children; pink blouses, green
skirts. scarlet petticoats, orange
aprons, and blue kerchiefs are COM
mon enough; while group of children
will always look like cluster of old
English flowers. But otherwise, in
summer as in winter, this old city of
Archangel, now destined to be the cap
ital of new Russia in the near west,
is a White city indeed

WE CAN CHOOSE OUR ENEMIES.
Dut when II Comes 90 Choosing our
Friends II IL Somewhat
Different.

An open enemy is better than a gos-
siping friend. The story is told Of
man in public life in Washington who
once found himself surrounded by a
host of self-appointed counselors. con-
tinuaily advising him. "as friends" Of
many astounding things. which a val
ued and lifelong intimate. also in pub
lie life. was alleged to be doing against
him, says the Boston Globe. Bitter
ness beset the heart of the man when
he heard that his friend had turned
against him and he grieved.
Strangely enough, the friend was al
so grieving, for he had received tales
which filled his heart with doubt of the
loyalty of his lifelong friend. "The
dog that will fetch will carry" says the
old proverb; and the "friends" who
had told tales to one of these men told.
the same sort to the other. They were
politicians, place-seek ekers, hangers-on,
who for their own ends employed gos-
sip, and malicious gossip at that, to
keep apart these two men.
But the plan did not work. The two
men met, charged each other with cool
ness and finally learned that they had
been the victims of tale bearers. Then
one of them said: 1--WE can choose our
enemies, but not our friends" and in
saying it he enunciated truth.

WELSH TONGUE IN AMERICA.
Expectations Are That IL VIII Go
Down Through Passing of Old
Promoters.

AS far as this country and the Welsh
ire concerned it looks dark and hope
less. From quarter to u half century
bgo there arose large number of lit
erary men and poets in the United
States who served the Welsh newspa-
pers and periodicals well and faith
fully. Although some of them could
speak English, Welsh and Welsh liter
ature was their pleasure, which they
sought, night and day, says Y Drych,
of Utica.
That class of Welshmen is passing
away, one by one, and none with liter
airy tendencies arises to take their
place and continue the progress of
Welsh literature. We can say without
any doubt that the vast ma iority OF
the contributors to the Drych to-day
are 10 years of age and upward, and
many of the best are over So There
are but few young who are treading
in the footsteps of the fathers. The
vast majority of young Welsh people
stand at the dividing line between
Welsh and English, and are rapidly GO
ing over to the latter, to be separated
completely in language and spirit from
the civilization of the fathers. And
many of the fathers, who are faithful
to the Welsh, and earnest in speech in
its behalf, are bringing up their chill
dren in manner entirely un-Welsh.
So, the expectations are that Welsh
will go down in the United States when
the fathers and mothers go the way of
all the earth, for crop of anything
cannot be expected where there has
been no sowing. Many hope and ex-
pect the old language to live by miracle,
as it were, by Divine interference in its
behalf, without realizing the natural
fact that the Welsh must be planted
and watered before progress may be
expected. The Drych, like Apoll6e,
week after week, continues the water
ing process, but what has not been
planted cannot be watered, for there
is no Paul planting.

TO PREVENT BURIAL ALIVE.
euEgestion of Life Insurance Man
That May BE of Considerable
Value.

Several insurance men were talllino
lately about new wrinkles in the bust
ness. Il firmly believe" said one. re-
ports the New York Mail and Ex-
press, that insurance against being
buried alive would pay. 1t is surpris-
ing how many people have "A dread
that suspended animation may be mis-
taken for death. | know woman
who has actually made her husband
promise that if he survives her he will
stick IA hatpin through her heart be-
fore she is buried to make sure that
no spark of life remains. In certain
parts OF Europe they have what are
known as mOrtuary houses, where the
dead are taken and subjected to vari-
GUS tests to make sure that death is
absolutely certain. ! believe there is
bill providing for somewhat sim
liar course now before the Massachu-
setts legislature. If such mortuary
building is established multitudes of
people would gladly pay, say, 500 to
be insured in a company that would
guarantee to make the necessary tests
before burial or cremation"
But suppose the alleged corpse
should come to life under the treat
ment?" asked a listener.
IN that case" said the man who
had previously spoken, "it ought to
be worth something to the company"

An international River,

In northwestern Montana, near the
British line, there is lake the wa
ters of which flow through the st.
Mary river to Hudson bay. The di-
tide between the lake and the head
waters of the Milk river, an afiluent
of the Missouri, is so low that engi-
neers say it would be feasible to di-
vert the outlet from Canadian to
American territory, AS water for ir-
rigation is highly valued on both sides
of the line, the question whether the
United States has a right to divert il
is one Of international interest, and
may yet become important.
