The Siberian COssack.

Tobolsk, where the Siberian Cossack
e reared, is a we'll watered region, with
1000 lakes, many of them of consider
able size. Many of the inha bitants
had their origin in the utilization of
the territory as a penal colony for Eu-
ropean Russia. The people are still
very primitive, sheep being the unit of
exchange in their barter system. Cat
tie breeding is extensively adopted,
and it is from this source that the Rus
sian army draws most of its horses for
service in the far east. These animals
are small and hardy. not particular
about food and capable OF enduring
extreme heat and cold, but the load
they can take even on a level road is
only about 900 pounds. The prepara-
tory class Of the Cossacks comprises
lads from the age of eighteen. who
undergo three years training. The
Cossacks of the first ranks are en-
rolled from the age Of twenty-one for
a period of twelve years. and all serve
for a further period of five years in
the reserves. the age of discharge be-
ing. therefore. thirty eight.

The Norsemnn,s Nastrond.

The Noresman's hades is as unlike
the orthodox place of punishment as
it is possible for one to imagine. This
place of torment for the reprobate sons
of the north is called nastrond and is
situated far toward the frigid north
and is directly under nifiheim. the
scandinavian mythologists purgatory.
A description of nastrond as it ap-
pears in the prose Edda" written in
Iceland in the thirteenth century, is
as follows:
I'm nastrond there is vast and
direful structure with doors that face
the north. This building is formed
entirely of the backs and scales of SER
penis, wattled together like wicker
work. But the heads Of the serpents
themselves are turned toward the in
side of the hall, and they continually
vomit forth floods of venom, in which
must wade throughout eternity all
those who commit murder or swear to
lies" Another description Of mas
trond is similar to this. but adds that
the evildoers are occasionally bitten
by the great dragon Nidhogg.

When Animals Faint.

The little gray dog tumbled head
long into the area, and the maid who
happened to be standing there closed
The gate. When the dog saw she was
safe from her two legged pursuers she
toppled over in a dead faint. At any
rate, the maid insisted that she faint
ed. The boarders, who crowded out
into the area to help bring the little
animal to, derided the assertion, but
the doctor that finally joined the group
said there was nothing preposterous
about it.
''Of course she tainted" he said.
Lots of animals faint. Cats and dogs
and even more stolid animals keel
over in moments of fear and eXhaus-
ton. In the case of horses the pros
tration is generally attributed to sun
stroke, but quite often they are knock
ed out by plain. everyday faint in
stead of atmospherical excuses. Fowls
faint too, and the birds of the air. In
fact, it is hard to find any living crea-
ture that doesn't topple over in crucial
circumstances. If the liOness of the
jungle were up on etiquette she would
be just as much justified in carrying
a camphor bottle as the finest lady in
the land.''-New York Press.

Why the House Fell Down.

An English Traveller on his way from
Morocco tells of a curious experience
he had while making trip by camel
inland from MogadOr.
1--WE had built a hut Of waffle branch
es to shelter us from the wind. In the
middle of the night | dreamed that
was shooting rabbits in the bracken Of
Essex and suddenly awoke to find my
self covered with vegetable matter.
Every one has experienced the curious
feeling of hopeless bewildcrment which
comes over a man when he wakes in
the dark among strange surroundings.
l found that one of our camels had lit
orally eaten us out Of house and home,
for he had broken his tether in the
night, walked over and devoured the
wattled branches Of our hut to such an
extent that the sides and roof collapsed
upon our sleeping forms"

The Peacock MT the Feast.

Brehm informs us that the flesh of
the young peacock is very delicate and
has "a wild odor" which is very agree
able. He thinks an old bird fit only
for stewing The Greeks must have
found it marvellous costly feeding If
it be true, as Aelian says, that a single
bird was worth thousand drachmaS
nearly ECO The esteem in which it
was held in the last days of the Roman
republic did not diminish under the
imperial regime.
Vitellius and Heliogabalus served up
70 their boon companions enormous
dishes of peacocks' tongues and brains
seasoned with the rarest Indian spices.
In medaeval days it was still held in
favor, particularly as Christmas
dish, and MINISTRIES sang of it as flood
for lovers and meat for lords"
To fit it for the table was no ordi-
nary culinary operation. After the skin
and plumage had been carefully strip
ped off the bird was roasted, then
served up again in it's feathers with
gilded beak. No, l have forgotten that
it was first stuffed with spices and
sweet herbs and basted with yolk of
egg. 1t doated in a sea of gravy, as
many as three fat wethers sometimes
supplying the unctuOus liquor for a
single peacock.-All the Year Round.
