ALTERNATING RUSSIANS.
whole Towns Practically Asleep for
Five or Six Months
at Time.

Hunger and cold impel bears and
other animals whose home Is in the
northern countries to sleep during
the winter months, and, according to
Th. Nolkov, there are hundreds of
Russian peasants who regularly fol-
low their example.
These peasants, he says in a paper
which has been published by the
Societe d'Anthropologie, live in dis
tricts where food is very scarce at all
seasons of the year--so scarce, in
deed, that frequently none is TO be
obtained, and the unfortunate inhab-
itants can only keep from starving
by gnawing a curious kind Of bread
which they make from the bark Of
trees. As this nourishment is insnili-
cient to maintain life very long IN
der ordinary conditions, they have
been accustomed for years to go to
sleep at the beginning of winter and
not to rouse themselves from it un-
til the beginning of spring.
At the first sign OF frost the mem
hers of each family gather in the
paternal hut and prepare for five
or six months sleep. In order to
keep warm they lie down beside the
huge stove, which is regularly sup
! piled with fuel by each of them in
turn, and thenceforth there is si-
lence in the large gloomy chamber
until spring comes once more with
its promise of food. During all this
time no one leaves the warm hearth
except for a few minutes each day
in order to take mouthfnl of food
or sup of water.
Not only villages but whole town
ships, says Th. Nolkov, hibernate
in this singular fashion and the dura-
tion or their sleep is always deter
mined by the amount of food which
is on hand, at the beginning of win
ter. II il is reasonably plentiful, the
sleep does not last for more than five
months, but if it is small it lasts for
! Mt least six months.

TARH by the use of powders, acid gases,

The powder acids used in the inhalers

to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and ex-

TRAINED BY MACHINERY.
Elephants Are Now Taught by Me-
chanicaI Appliances to Do
Their Work.

They are training elephants by ma
chinery now. 1t is omething they
did not do in the olden times; but,
then, people generally have changed
from the old ways, and there is no
reason why elephant trainers should
not do SO.
Elephant instructors have devised
q new method of imparting wisdom
to their charges. In former years
there were as many methods as train
ers, but with the invention of ma
chinery and the progression Of
thought material change has been
wrought, says the St. louis Republic
At the present time the elephant
instructor goes about his work in
precisely the same manner as does
the contractor of u sky-scraper. If
the material In hand is to be raised,
the very quickest and safest way of
elevating it is employed. If a ten
ton beam is fitted to certain posi-
tion on the fifth floor, it is placed
there in the shortest time possible
by the use of huge crane. If the
of head-balancing or rope-walking he
Is enabled by the use of the crane to
furnish a clew of the most effective
nature in minimum of time.
Dangling at the end of the huge
derrick the elephant is placed in any
position desired Once in this posi-
tion, his education is commenced
from that point.
The new method of training is an
experiment as yet, but it's success is
assured, at least as far as young ele-
plants are concerned. Recently cir
Gus received a consignment of a
dozen or more baby pachyderms from
Ceylon, Sumatra and India. Their
ages ranged from eight to twelve
years, and their weight between 500
pounds and ton.
Coming fresh from the jungles Of
their native country, the young ele'
plants possessed anything but a doc
lie nature. Hence, their training was
accomplished only with difficulty.
The beginner was taken into a ring
in the circus training barns and
heavy harness attached to strong
crane or derrick placed around the
beasts body. The instructor ther
gave the command: "Stand on heai
and forefeet."
This would be Greek, of course, tt
| the pupil, but the meaning of the
command gradually dawns upon thu
animals instinct after being lifted
into the air and tilted forward OF
his head and trunk several times.
| Thus, in due course of time, TIL,
youthful pachyderm is taught sue
cessfully all the acts known to ele

BROWNsON VS.. NORRISTOWN
Exceptionally Good Game on the
Home Grounds.
Game Was Called at End Of Tenth
Inning on Account Of Darkness.
Rooters Out in Force.

Brownson and Norristown played ten
innings of the most exciting and inter-
esting base ball yesterday afternoon that
has been seen on the home groun ds this
season. At the end OF the tenth inning
when the game was called on account oil
darkness, the score was tie, o to &.
The last three innings were perhaps
the most exciting ball playing that was
ever witnessed in this city. The rooters
were much in evidence during those in
nings and did all kinds OF roofing for the
home team.
Walker was put in the box for Brown
son and MCGEE did the twirling for the
visitors. The run getting was started in
the third inning, when each team earned
a run. BroWnson got one ahead in TIE
fifth on long, hcme run drive over the
left field fence by Lange.
Norristown went one better in the
eighth on Perkins drive over the right
field fence with one man on base
Brownson in it's half OF the eighth in
ming scored three runs on as many hits
and couple OF errors OF the visitors.
This put Brownson two runs to the
good.
Nolristown, however, was still full oi

every one, Kerwin pounded one Of
Walkers fast ones oyer the right field
fance, sending two runs in ahead OF him.
This put Norristown one in the lead.
MCGEE, who was hit hard in the eighth
inning, was replaced by Kerwin. Bur

and drew four wide ones. Schultz also
walked and both runners we've advanced

"The Anti-.Jacobin" could be repeated
or even improved upon; and this, ]
think, was done. If you have ever

how closely the old Pail Mall Gazette

But whereas the Anti-Jacobin had
large squat quarto page. the new

gance and became an octave, like the
Saturday Review.
After due elaboration. the design
was communicated to Mr.. John Par

fishing firm in West Strand, which
then owned Fraser's Magazine. The
scheme was approved. There were
consultations about it with four or
five men of the pen and men Of the

Parker (among them Arthur Helps

RICH FOOD CHEAP.
English Epicure InduIEes I'm Some
Rare Dishes at Small
Cost.

While scientists are experimenting
with foods to find out which yields the
most nourishment, an English epicure
claims that he has found out the Sc
cret of the best and cheapest diet, says
the New York World.
His food costs him practically moth
ing. This is how he manages it. He is
a cunning naturalist, and nobody
knows better than he where the juicy
hedgehog hides. Unmindful of its
prickles, he picks the creature up in
his stoutly gloved hands, depositing
him in his sack without further ado.
Three hedgehogs he reckons good
bag.
Then, like an Indian, he goes to in
spect his various traps. LINED twigs
yield him buntings, sparrows and
finches; field mice tremble in their
wire cages at his approach.
OF the latter he is especially fond.
Nothing so tasty as field mouse pie, a
few mushrooms being an improve
ment, he observes. His old housekeep-
er shares his tastes and prepares the
dishes for him.
But nobody will stay to dinner at his
house, though the hearty gentleman,
disposed to be hospitable, frequently
presses caller to share the repast.
The delicious smell of roast hedgehog
and the rich brown cover of sparrow
pie offer no inducements; neither is
the salad of dandelion and sorrel
leaves, nor the omelette of wild birds
eggs tempting to the everyday appe.
tite Of his ordinary friends.
Few owners Of gardens encourage
snails among the beds, but he nets
over his cabbages to keep the birds
away-he wants the Shiny morsels
himself. Up before the lark every
morning in summer, he collects the
fat, white creatures, these appearing
at table either in pastry covers or in
the form of thick, nutritious soup.
The frogs that abound in the moist
corners of his garden are pressed into
service, great quantities of these rep
tiles being collected for him by the
country lads, who are only too eager
to thus earn a little pocket money.
