A Riddle Making Epoch.
kidney trouble

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue. and such epochs would appear
to occur at seasons of fresh intellectual
awakening. Such an epoch there was
at the first glimmering Of new intel
lectual light in the second half of the
seventh century. This was the age of
Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne, the first
in the roll of Anglo-Latin poets He
left considerable number of enigmas
in Latin hexameters, and they have
been repeatedly printed.
Aldhelm died in 1909. Before his
time there was collection of Latin
riddles that bore the name of Sympho-
sius. Of this work the date is IN
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used it, and we may infer that it was
then a recent product. The riddles Of
Symphosius were uniform in shape.

Siberia's Dairy IndusSry.

Siberia has long been sending butter
to England, but the opening of the
Transsiberian railway has made it a
far more formidable competitor than
it formerly was. Last year the inn
ports Of Siberian butter We're valued at
81, 400 900, and this year it is estimated
that they will reach the value of e.
100000. The supply of butter which
Siberia can furnish is said to be prac-
tically unlimited, and it is possible that
the opening Of Siberia may affect the
dairy industry Of these countries as
disastrously as the opening up of Amer
lea affected the wheat growing indus
try. It is also expected that Siberia
will shortly food the English market
with poultry, game and meat.-CleTe-
