Why not be gay and happy, sweetheart.

Why should we vainly talk Of that we

NORWEGIAN ECONOMY.
Sample Of 1t Shown in Way They Run
Their Railroads.

y
The NorWegians call a railway q
iernbanen, literally "an iron path 2
Their cars are made on the conyen-
tional European pattern and are light
and comfortable Theyare furnished
with toilet-rooms and run smoothly
and noiselessly. Most Of the trains
are equipped with Westinghouse
brakes, steam heat and electric lights.
They run very slowly. Economy is
studied in this respect, as in every
other. There is certain speed say,
Is Or Is miles an hour which can
be maintained at a minimum con
sumption Of fuel, and the scandina-
Wan railway managers have figured il
down to dot. They can haul q
longer train a greater distance with
ton Of coal than any other engi-
neers, and the most scrupulous atten-
ton is applied to every feature Of
management, the tracks, the rolling
stock, the station, the crossings The
erossing-keepers are usually women.
A large number Of that sex are en-
ployed BY the railways. In Germany
you find them on the dining cars.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC FREAK.
Picture Of Postmaster General Smith
Showed Goatss.

d
Postmaster General Smith was Wis
tied at his Office by photographers q
few days ago and after his picture had
been taken and a number Of prints
had been run OFF it was discovered
that the photograph pher had inviting
" furnished the head Of the post of
fee department with goatee, where
as he had before a smooth face, ex-
eepting the possession Of . mustache.
The addition of the goatee made q
remarkable change in the postmaster
generals eountenance, and be has
been given the unusual opportunity
Of seeing just how he would look with
this hirsute appendage before under
taking to provide it BY the natural
and more usual method. The trick
Of the camera which produced this
illusion is only discovered by q care
full examination Of the photograph.
When SO examined it is seen that the
knob on the back of chair in the
corner Of the postmaster generals Of
fee protruded in the picture from
the chin Of the subject photographed
in such q way as to form q goatee in
50 natural q way that those not well
acquainted with Mr.. Smith would
never suspect that it was polished
wood and not hair. Il this picture
survives the lapse Of time it may give
rise in another generation to dis
cussion whether the postmaster gen
eral did or did not wear goatee.

OPENING UP OF SIBERIA.
win Provide New Field FOR Indus
trial Development

It is now possible to go from New
York via Berlin, Moscow and Irkutsk
TO Vladiyostoek on the Pacific in Is
days. A railway which shall connect
Asia and America at the Rehring
strait will probably be built IN the
near future, and, notwithstanding
the terrific cold Of winter, il is be-
lieved that the road will not be SO
difficult to build as It was 70 construct
the line Of the White Pass & Yukon
railroad.
In view of this and other facts, il
is believed that the exploitation OF
Siberia on q large scale may not. be
far distant. There areseyeral reasons
why investment in Siberian enter
prises will be easy atfrst: The prices
for labor in Russia and Siberia are
exceedingly low, varying from 15
cents to $1.50 per day, the laborers
feeding themselves out Of their earn
ings. In central Siberia men can be
contracted for BY the year at SIS per
month; the workmen are Of the peas
ant class. It is not thought that La
borers in Siberia will at once alter
their methods, but this viii probably
come in time. The mining laws Of
Russia, moreover, allow the taking
up Of mining claims by Russians or
foreigners, though there are many se-
we're restrictions.
Cities Of 10000 TO $4,000 inhabi-
tants are now numerous in Siberia.
Hotels with comfortable rooms, res
taurants with electric lights and tele-
phone connections, are not difficult
to find. Anyone can traverse Siberia
in great luxury in trains supplied
with bath, piano, dining saloon, draw
ing-room, easy chairs, observation
cars, etc. The cost Of the journey
from Moscow TO Irkutsk, !, 200 miles,
including sleeping ear, is only $4A.
Siberia is practically unknown to
most Russians, and they have an idea
that furs are always necessary on ac-
count Of the intense cold. Actual
experience in the city Of Krasnoyarsk
shows that the thermometer reaches
10 degrees for days together in the
month Of August and any clothes but
those made Of silk and linen are alb
solutely uncomfortable. Chicago
