Siberian Cities,

Of all Siberian cities and villages is the

depressing. The places seem half dead,
yet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception Of prosperity In new cities
is so associated with the clang Of the
trolley, the smoke of the factory, the
weird writings Of the steam siren and
the hustle Of the population that it Is
hard for us to realize that prosperity
may exist in place Of dead calm.
"Vladivostok, Khabarovsk. Blagovest-
chensk and Irkutsk all present the
same features. Blagovestchensk, in the
heart of eastern Siberia. on the juno
ton of the Zeya river with the Amur,
is perhaps the most interesting city.
On the central square of the city, where
the market Is, face two large depart
ment stores which for size, beauty Of
architecture and variety Of stock would
do credit to any American city. The
bank buildings, the museum and other
business and government houses are
Of brick or stone. Good schools have
been established, 80 that 1t is possible
for a boy here, as well as In all ST.

ucation. In Vladivostok a training
school for eastern diplomats turns out
graduates accomplished in oriental lam
guages to begin their careers as inter-
prefers or secretaries Of legations"

IL Was an Elephants and Required
Some Remarkable Tools.
Human dentistry Is a difficult enough
science to practice, but 10 attend to the
teeth troubles of animals Is still more so.
When the animal to be treated Ii an
elephant, the problem becomes q big one
in more senses than one. This was Illus
trated in the City of Mexico, where q
mammoth sufferer called Columbus was
successfully relieved Of raging tooth.
1t is necessary to state that the trou-
blesome tooth was IL inches long, the
diameter at the root being no fewer than
four inches. After the swollen gum had
been thoroughly soaked with cocaine q
three-Quarter inch auger was used to
make q hole through the offending tooth.
To bore through solid ivory is by no
means an easy task, and the veterinary
surgeons had to handle the instrument in
turns.
Even then the work had to be sus-
pended every now and again, owing to
the animal getting wrought up. On these
occasions further doses Of cocaine were
injected, and after a couple of hours
hard work hole had been successfully
drilled through the tooth. A brief rest
was then taken before the most impor-
tant part Of the work began. This con-
sisted in running an iron rod through the
hole, the ends of which protruded about
four inches on either side.
A rope an inch in diameter which had
been soaked in tar was then tied to each
end of the bar and twisted about the
tooth in such fashion that it would not
slip.
The preparations were completed by
running part of the rope through a pull
ley, carrying it out and attaching 1t to
the traces of four strong horses.
The dramatic moment came when the
word was given to the driver to whip up
his horses.
Crack, crack! went the Transfers
whip, and with a long, long pull and O
strong, strong pull, accompanied bT
plenteous believing, out came the trou.

It wasn't what O conservative old
lawyer would call straight case. I
had been sent to London to look up a
sharper and make him disgorge for the
benefit of the heirs of another sharper.
The wife of one John Saunders, an
Fnglishman who had died In Buffalo
several years previously, had put her
claims In the hands Of New York
lawyer. This Saunders had been mixed
up in a big swindle before leaving
England. Something like 100000 had
been reaped from 1t, but his partner In
the transaction had gobbled on to most
of 1t and had also managed to pull his
neck out of the moose, while Saunders
had been hunted ont of the country. 1t

had found a small vessel suited to
their purpose.
They tried to get away with It IN the
night, but the owner discovered them
and attempted to interfere, with the
result that he paid for his vigilance

taken back to port, and every one OF
them was hanged, except the teller Of
the tale, who had escaped. but had
been MORALLY wounded in doing so.
The carpenter and the sailor pros
pected daily about the ravine and tn
beach; but, having nothing except theA
knives with which to work, they made
little progress. Still they picked out
Of the crevices a considerable amount
of gold.
One day they borrowed a Ratchet
from the old German and penetrated
the ravine which ran up the side Of one
of the mountains. Some distance up
the slope they cleared the underbrush
and found the ledge to be composed Of
soft, rotten stone impregnated with
gold in large quantities. In fact, the
entire mountain seemed to be streaked
with the precious metal.
AS they worked. however. their lives
were In constant danger, for the noun
tain side seemed to be alive with pol
sonous reptiles, scorpions, tarantulas-
In fact. owing to these pests. they were
fain to give up all attempts to pene-
trate farther and contented themselves
with working about the foot of the
mountain. They remained on this IS
land nearly two months before they
were taken off by a passing vessel
which stopped to fill her water casks.
Shortly after their return to the 18TH
mus the sailor was taken down with
isthmus fever and died. The carpen-
ter then took the gold and, keeping his
secret. set sail for his home, where he
bought hotel. He intended some time
to return to the island. but one winter
day he fell on the Ice, receiving an in
jury that resulted In paralysis, and
year later he also died. But before he
did so he told to a friend who had
nursed him all the details Of his strange
adventures in the southern Pacific,
drew plan Of the island. described Its
location and topography and gave such
an accurate description that any one
familiar with the coast could have no
difficulty In verifying the statement
The carpenters friend did not sur
vive him long. but before he died he
likewise related the carpenters story
to a captain who was familiar with the
waters Of the southern Pacific. And
now another expedition has been fitted
out for the mysterious Isle Of gold.
But wiseacres shook their heads, and
already belief has grown among the
timid that a curse Ia associated with
the isle and the treasure and that
death and doom inevitably follow the
pursuit Of the secret.-Chicago Times

Work of GOssips.

Men in large cities either do not marry
at all or wait until late in life. This IL
the reason why people in small towns
marry young: Two people commence go
ing together. Within a month the COS
sips begin commenting on what a nice
couple they are and predicting that they
will marry. Things drift along this way
until the gossips become impatient, and
then they begin abusing the man and say
that he is just fooling the girl and will
cast her aside. The girl hears of this,
tells her lover and suggests that they
marry. The man gets mad at the gossips
and marries the girl. Marriages are not
made in heaven. They are made by the
gossips in a small town. Not one man in
ten wants to marry. The average man Is
in love with his liberty, independence and
lack of responsibility, so II the girls want
to marry they may consider the gossps
their faithful allies.-Early Qa.) News.

That thing more powerful in its odor
than limburger cheese has been found.
and in Russia, its native country, it is
called "tresca." The confection is u de
lightfuI preparation of Goldfish which was
caught the previous summer and there
fore has had whole year in which to
decompose. 1t is considered delicacy
in northern Russia. Those foreigners
who have seen it say that its odor is be-
yond words to describe. What it tastes
like no one of them has had the hardi-
hood to learn by personal experience.
Visiting the fish market of Archangcl on
hot day, it can easily be smcllcd that
the odor beats that of the famous and

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRACS.

Mr.. Major the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The mutitudes who use this standard article
know that il is many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses The
best materials ever discovered and other manu-
facturers do not Use them, because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr.. Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs S375 pound, and another
costs $3.50 a gallon, while Il large share of the
80 called cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen-cent
glue, dissolved in water or citric acid, and in
some cases, altered slightly in color and odor
by the addition of cheap ard useless materials.
NJ aiors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents Il bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
it that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr..
Majors advertising, which now amounts to
over SIS 900 Il month, throughout the country.
