DON'T STEAL COPPER.

Don't steal copper. It is wicked, and if you are caught you will be taken up." Some copper has been lying around loose on the premises of a man. ufacturing company in Brooklyn, and thieves have been carrying it away Finally two young men have been caught with some of the metal in their possession, and they have been brought before the court and held for eXamin- ation. After they have been examined they will probably be held in jail until they have expiated their unskillful sin.
 Don't initiate these crude young men. If you must play tricks with copper let the raw material alone. Get in with the gang that is manipulating copper stocks and play their game. Then you wont be caught and held for examination. You will be rich and re- spectable and can give some of your good money to promote true religion and sound learning.

taken from the water they would die | as quickly as one of us would if forced to exchange places with them. Lungs for breathing are fast replacing the gills which did duty in the tadpoe stage The young frog frequently pokes his nose out of water as his lungs grow more lung-like, to try them. The mouth, too, must widen and the eyes grow larger and more bulging. When all is complete, the tail will no longer stand in the way.
 The little tadpole, or polliwog, has no family ties. He wots nothing of brothers and sisters. He goes to no school save that of daily experience. To-day fish may teach him how to dodge, or his own grandfather give him lesson in deep diving, but in both cases 1t is to escape making a meal for his teachers that he dodges or dives. The main business of the day is eating -or being eaten. If he escapes the lat ter for six weeks or two months, the common frog finds himself possessed of two hind legs-later of two front ones. Then his tadpole days are over and he enters into the state of frog hood.
 Of frogs there are many kinds, in- cluding the giant hoarse-voiced bull frog which is said to attain length of twenty-five inches, the leopard frog, the green frog, and the wood frog. All these are found in the ponds in spring, whither they go, if not there already, to deposit their eggs or spawn" With the efficient help of true toads and tree toads they make up the nocturnal orchestra of the ponds and marshes Whether the nights are thus made hide ous or melodious depends entirely upon the audience. The orchestra is in tune with nature. What if few strong voices sometimes drown out the fainter ones? One must needs sit down on log and become part of the landscape. Then will the music begin, perhaps with a bass solo A few trial notes then, gathering volume, 1t will soon wake the echoes, Zoom zoom, zoom zoom! Resonant booming, manful-it is worth going miles to hear.-Mary Rogers Miller in Country Life in America.

Each car has four compartments ex- elusive of a general parlor in the cen ter. Three of these compartments are i intended to offer sleeping accommoda- tions for four and one tor two persons.
 There is restaurant car attached to
 the train, in which excellent meals are probably better than is to be found on any of the other railroads of Europe, The time required in making trip from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk is nine days. At Irkutsk all change cars, and passengers for the East go on by rail some sixty miles to Lake Baikal, which is crossed by steamer in summer and sedges in winter. A rail- road is now being built around the south shore of the lake. From the east shore of the lake cars are again taken, and carry the passengers 685 miles to Stretiensk. Here steamers are taken down the Amur river 1857 miles to- khabarovsk, where the railroad is again met and carries one to Vladivos- tock, distance of 474 miles. Thus there is break in the rail line from lrkutsk to Vladivostock of about 1,4Oo miles, which will in time be filled in.
 Prince Khilkoff, the Russian minister of ways and communications learned much of what he knows about rail- roading in this country. He is putting his knowledge to good use in Russia. The Great Siberia railroad will be powerful factor in the development of the country as well as great military convenience.

WORK FOR FOR ESTRT.

There is no tree more desirable than the Christmas tree, and it is to be hoped that when forestry really gets hold in this country it will provide for the con-
 tinuance of good supply of Christmas trees. It appears that there is some agitation in Vermont against the way the Christmas tree business is done there. There is no sound argument, says the Brattleboro Phoenix, to set up for the Christmas tree vandalism. The desirable kind of farms are not growing up to eVergreens, and if they were the trees wouldn't restore them to fertility and cultivation. On the old pastures and uplands where the young spruces and frs grow the soil long ago became so impoverished that grasses, the cattle and sheep stopped feeding over them, and nature took her own good way of repairing the loss by sending up the young evergreens. If every one of them was stripped off such lands not another mouthful of grass would grow, and the barrenness would be just so much the greater. It would be a partial offset if the farm CTS were getting anything for their trees, but as it is they are practically giving them away, while the city deal- CTS make two hundred or three hundred per cent. on their outlay. ' It is pity that there should be any thing unpleasant in the Christmas tree business. It ought to be pleasing and profitable all around.

Tending the Light.

With nothing but waves to seaward
 And the grim rocks toward the land, The roll of the black clouds over,
 And the breakers on every hand; The night comes down on the ocean
 And we climb the winding stair To see that our lights are piercing
 The thick ming foggy air. Far up at the mouth of the river,
 Beyond the narrow beach The last of the home lights twinkle
 And sink away from our reach. Alone on the rock in the desert
 Of tumbling and tossing tide; The nations outer signal
 To wanderers far and wide. Alone, we wonder dimly
 If the foghorn reaches the shore Or pierces the outer stretches
 That tumble and toss eyermore. Perchance in the little village
 Some fisherwife wakes in the night And peers from her smoky window To see If we're shining bright. Or out on the tossing pillows
 helmsman wathces onr light, A thousand souls in his keeping
 As they rush through the painless night Alone on q rock in the desert
 And hungry for those on shore, The screams of the gulls and breakers Around us forevermore.

CONFIDENT FRENCH INVESTORS.

CONFIDENT FRENCH INVESTORS. The recent scramble of the French
 people for the new government bonds is
 indicative of large confidence in the stability of things in France. The gov- ernment invited subscriptions to a three
 per cent. loan of s5S, 900, OO0 The appli-
 cations which were received aggregated
 s1, ,500 000,0 000 or sum nearly thirty times as great as the proposed bond is- sue. In all parts of the French Repub- lie, in the provinces as well as in Paris, the bonds were in demand. In France the small investor has chance equally with men of large means to buy na- tional securities. In the present in stance the government is issuing $2O bonds, and the thrifty shopkeepers and peasants welcome the opportunity to invest their savings in government ob- legations. They have absolute faith in the financial resources of the country and in the ability of the government to protect the interests of investors.
 These investors may come out all right, but the strain upon the financial resources of the Republic, in view of it's enormous public debt, the immense annual expenditures of the government and the fact that receipts have recently fallen below expenses seems likely at any time to bring about financial up- heaval. The national debt of France is six times as great as that of the United States, while the expenses of the gov ernment have recently risen to $7O0,000,- 900 a year, France maintains a great standing army and is the second naval power in the world. The policy of French statesmen is to add constantly to the strength of the navy, while the army is also gradually growing larger.

THE GREAT ERIAN RAILROAD D

That is good news for globe-trotters which comes from St. Petersburg. The extension of the trans Siberian rail- road through Manchuria to Port Ar thur has just been completed. The Siberian railroad extends in general way from St. Petersburg to Vladivos- tock on the Japan sea, a distance of 6,677 miles, with the extension running some HOO miles sout heastward to Port Arthur, on the Yellow sea. The first class fare from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock is $12S.75, and the third class only 4635, or at the rate of con- siderably less than cent mile. From vladivostock to Port Arthur the price for transportation, including sleeping car accommodations and board, is BPS. The entire cost of the main line to vladivostock has been s172, ,525, 900, but the road is built with light rails, in some places weighing only 36 pounds to the yard, wooden bridges and generally cheap construction.
 The first section of the long journey is from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk The regular passenger trains leave each end of the route twice a week for the trip, and once in ten days a train de luxe leaves Moscow and Irkutsk, covering the same distance and running through without change. This train consists of vestibuled cars, which are high and roomy, and are lighted by electricity.

 2pread of yellow fever. During the < iast summer the results obtained were SikoBt encouraging and improved as time ESassed, until now it appears that in Mo- Rvember there were in Havana no deaths from yellow fever, nor any eases even NJ condition which has not existed since

 which has been made in stamping out
 this disease indicates that the results obtained are not due to chance, but may sbe depended upon to follow from the
 methods now employed in combating this old scourge of Cuba.

years was supposed to be incurable. For

it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced il
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to bea constitutional disease, and, there
