Culture an Siberia.


In the surprisingly short time of
seventy years from Yermak's entrance
to the valley of the Obi. Russian pio-
neers had reached the Pacific Ocean
and penetrated to the mouth of the
Lena and established important CEN
! ters of civilization at numerous points
which have continued TO increase to
/ the present day. Tobolsk, Omsk.
Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Minusinsk, Ir-
kutsk, Yakutsk, Verkhne Udinsk and
Nertchinsk have behind them as long
history as Salem and Boston. While
they have not developed in size like
those early New England settlements,
they can render an excuse for not so
doing by pointing to the limiting con-
ditions which have surrounded them,
which even yet are only partially re-
moved. But at Tamsk one will now
find a university which will compare
favorably with any in the United
States fifty years ago. At Krasnoyarsk
he viii find a library Of a wealthy ST.
berian filled with many treasures.
which any European library would
covet. but could not obtain. At Min
usinsk three hundred miles away
from the Siberian railroad, is a mu-
scum which is the admiration of the
world. where from the local collec-
tions the transition from the stone to
the bronze and the iron age is more
perfectly shown than anywhere else.
In this collection are sixty thousand
specimens well housed I'm a two-story
brick building, and arranged and
classified after the most improved
methods. with an equally commodious
library building adjoining il. All this
has been accomplished by private sub
scription. And this is only a specimen
of what is to be found in nearly every
Siberian town of more than ten thou
sand inhabitants. The country abounds
in museums and in people who are in
terested in them. Ninusinsk has but
fifteen thousand people, but in the
larger cities of Irkutsk and Khabar-
ovsk. where branches of the Royal
Geographical Society exist, the muse
ums, though not so much specialized
as this one at Minusinsk, are built and
organized on a larger plan.
Irkutsk, nearly four thousand miles
east of st. Petersburg, though contain
ing only about sixty thousand inhabi-
tants, has, besides its large museum,
an elegant opera house, vying in pro-
portion and fullness of equipment
with anything found in America out
side of New York city. IT has a public
reading room and a library containing
books and magazines in all the leading
languages of Europe. At Blagoyyes-
chensk, on the Amur River, fourteen
hundred miles farther east, in a city
of thirty thousand. one will find, in
addition TO a well-equipped hospital
and library and museum, a community
of such high musical culture that a
local society renders with ease and in
most creditable style such choruses as
those of Saint-Saens' Samson and De-
lilah. Review of Reviews.

Her White Strain.

When the Washington friends of
the bill to give former Queen Liliuo-
kalani $4,000 were talking the mat
ter over in the Senate lobby after the
adverse vote recently. Mr.. Tillman,
who had voted against the measure.
expressed regret, according TO the
Kansas City Journal. that the dusky
daughter of savage kings did not
seem able to understand the strong
prejudice existing in some parts of the
country against the black races. Now,
If she could show a strain of white

family around.

were four sets of five rings, and then
nine solemn rings in a deeper tone
which, being interpreted, meant $3.50
o'clock. The guests were much mysti-
fed, but their host explained that he
was surreptitiously pressing an elec-
trio button attached to the bedpost.
The new kind of clock is an ex-
pensive ornament and is specially de-
signed for people who are in the habit
of waking up in the midnight hours.
When they wake and wonder what
time it is, all they have to do is to
touch the button. Then the hour is
rung off and they can fall asleep again
without having had the trouble Of
striking a light to satisfy their Curl

THE MODESTO IRRIGATORS.

- ALIFORNIA is the interesting State in the
1 Union in the variety of its natural capacities.
- On the 23d inst. the people of Modesto celebrate
in ample form the completion of irrigation system
that will make fertile 100000 acres of dry land by sup

lands is evidence of the exhaustess supply of water

maintenance of both descriptions of land in fertility in

The success of the irrigation project which is to be
celebrated at Modesto furnishes valuable means Of
contrasting what the people do for themselves with
what the Federal Government will do for them in the
irrigation plans which it is effectuatng the law
of Congress 1t will do more than this for will show
the relation of climate irrigation and to the capacity
of irrigated lands bear the of making fertile

for irrigation, because this climate it produces more
crops in year. and crops with higher market value
Yet will probably be found that the of irrigation
here will be far less than that furnished by the Govern

The success of Modesto is wrought under the Wright

4 Convenient Clock.

While entertaining some friends in
his apartments the other day a well
known man about town pointed to a
beautiful electric clock on his bed

See that?" he said. ."That clock
is the latest invention. I can hypnot-
ize it so that it will ring the hour any
time. day or night"
AS he spoke he sat unconcernedly on
the edge of his bed.
Now, watch it," he said.
The hands marked 9:20. Suddenly
something inside the clock began to

OF love there be two hills:
Who has seen them, at eve or dawn,
Wanders forevermore
Where the wind has gone.
There is one hill of quiet green,
Girt by little ring
OF tremulous apple-treeS, all white
In the sweet air of spring;
And no wind stirs the gentle peace
OF their tender blossoming.
And there two slender lovers walk
Dreamily, hand to hand.
His face is lit as with joy
Too new to understand
Her eyes, with some great wonder
dimmed,
Dream in far-off land.
II.
There is a lonely hill of pines,
half-dim with purple haze,
Behind which sets the dying red
And gold of autumn days.
And few come unto it, or know
Its labyrinthine ways.
And there two stand with unclasped
hands;
He holds broken Tyre:
Her gaze is past the empty plain.
Out in the hume of fire
Where day sinks into the waiting night
With it's dreams and it's vain desire.
Of love there be two hills:
Who has seen them, at eve or dawn
Wanders forevermore
Where the wind has gone
