tion of the officials and others who ire iquent his house, not because he is sus- Ipected-the idea Is monstrous-but be- fcause the instructions given by the minister of the interior to the doorkeep- Iers and other servants, to keep their eyes and ears open, and to confide their observations to the police, are binding
 on all the serving class in the capital,
 without exception.
 Then take the postofice-it is star chamber of extorted secrets. The time, labor and money spent upon that
 branch of our lay inquisition would al- channel, to regenerate the empire.
 Never before were so many private let ters read and copied. That explains, in part, why such frequent and wearisome delays occur in the forwarding of mis- sives. I know of letters which spent nine days in getting from St. Peters, burg to Moscow, and I know of few which ever reach their destination-if sent from one street of Moscow or St.
 Petersburg to another-in less than a day or a day and ashalf. Formerly the system was simple; all letters to sus- PSSt~A ESA O0Aio NSAS NtiA iANAAAiJ ANSNN eeAAN
 copies kept, and only certain per centage of other letters were taken, lgenerally at random. Now the rules are much more rigorous, thanks to the
 organizing talent of the minister of the interior, who has introduced the Napo- Ileonic system, improved and adapted to
 Russian needs. Letters to and from | foreign countries are closely scanned; envelopes coming from Germany, espe-
 cially Stuttgart, where an anti-govern-
 mental Russian paper is published. are lopened and if the forbidden journel is there it is confiscated and the addressee | is 'shadowed. Letters to and from dip lomatists are conned and copied. Once 1 a letter was thus read, and by an egre- gious act of forgetfulness the copy was
 enclosed in the envelope as well and | then sent on to the diplomatist. This 'gentleman complained, of course, and the authorities blandly assured him
 that they deeply regretted the mistake
 and would guarantee that such pain
 ful blunder should never occur again;
 and never since has a copy of a read
 missive been forwarded together with
 the original to any one."-London Stan dard.

HOMEGROWN ORCHIDS.

shattering of the Halo of Romance
 Surrounding Some.
 If there is any popular fallacy that I should love puncture, it is the amiable delusion that all orchids are worth a thousand dollars a pot. Great was my surprise, some years ago, when I met a suburbanite of modest income who srow orchids that were the talk of the town in a little ten-by-twelve green house. As his wife was too much of an invalid to look after the greenhouse, my friend watered his plants every morn ing, and adjusted the ventilators before he caught the 7:59 express for the big city, and at night he came home to see what had happened. Usually no great disaster had befallen. And in February is you were lucky enough to be invited into his snug little greenhouse, while a winter storm ragged outside, you would be likely to find some gorgeous cattle vas, with perhaps 20 flowers on a plant

Lee, who died in 1873, never claimed it, but her son, G. w. Custis Lee, brought suit in the courts to have the sale set aside. The case went up to the su- preme court, which decided that the heir had equity on his side, and con- gress paid him s15O,0OO for the prop erty.
 1 Thus it appears that the estate was net confiscated by the government, as is commonly supposed. In the south west corner of the cemetery, where sev- eral hundred Confederate soldiers lie buried, two simple tablets mark the graves of George Washington Park Custis and Mary Lee Custls, his wife. They were erected by Mrs. Robert E. Lee and bear the inscription: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy"
 The Temple of Fame above referred ' to is a structure of dignifed simplicity and no great size, it's dome-like roof upheld by pillars on which are inserib- ed the names of Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Meade, Thomas, Farragut, Key holds, Garfield and Humphreys. An other notable feature of the Arlington cemetery is the amphitheater-a beau tifuI enclosure surrounded by green walls of foliage, with a pillared plat form on one side for the delivery ot orations on Memorial day and on other ceremonial occasions.
 Most of the national cemeteries were located, appropriately enough, on pat ltlefields, those of Chattanooga, Stone River and Gettysburg being first se- lected. In Virginia, where so much hard fighting was done during the civil war, there are no fewer than seventeen such burying grounds for soldiers. There are in all about S40,OCo men in tered in the eighty-three government reservations of the kind, and in each ease Uncle Sam furnishes headstone and footstone of granite or white mar ble. unless surviving relatives are dis posed to put up something more elap- Eorate in the way of a monument.
 Ours is said to be the only country that bestows such honors of dignlfled land permanent interment in the midst of beautiful surroundings, upon it's common soldiers. In lieu of an inscrlp- ton. each headstone bears number, which refers to name in a book. Of course, in numerous instances the re- mains are registered as unknown, but the system adopted by the Federal authorities during the Rebellion was so perfect, and internents were so ccnsci- cautiously made on the fields where the Union arms won, that over 90 per cent. of the dead were afterwards identified I-Washington Correspondence Boston Herald.

PARROT DIMES ON DIAMONDS.
Household Pet Swallowed $500 Worth
 of the Gems.

dousenOid Fet SWdiioWeu SoVO worth of the Gems.
 Mrs. H. Holland, residing near Eff teenth and Woodland. is mourning the loss of about $500 worth of diamonds and jeweIry which her pet parrot. Polly is supposed to have got away with few days ago.
 The story. Mrs. Holland tells of her loss is almost piteous. The implicit trust she imposed in the bird is broken, and she is half inclined to kill the Monster"
 The jewelry disappeared from the shelf where Mrs. Holland left it few days ago while cleaning it. The parrot was in the room at the time, and a cuff button lying on the floor with the marks of Polly's sharp beak disclosed the identity of the marauder. A pair of diamond-set earrings, 8 diamond brooch and pair of cuff buttons, all heirlooms of the family, are missing.
 T would never have blamed the bird. even after I found the marted- cuff button on the floor,'' said Mrs Holland, etS SHe tUlu tie SlOTy alU d Al1ttius uc< eyes filling with tears at the time, If Polly had not disclosed her own guilt At first I did not suspicion the bird, but when she saw I had discovered the nlisdeed she began cawing and screech- ling. This settled the matter in my mind. I scolded the bird vigorously, but what was the use? I could not make her hunt for my jewels, and if she swallowed them it was also useless. "The earrings were small, and she might have swallowed them, but the brooch was quite large, and what be- came of it is a mystery. The cuff
 buttons were quite large, almost too large, think, for her to swallow.
 The jewels were lying on a shelf where the sunlight struck them. and suppose the glistening diamonds at tracted her attention to them. You
 know, birds are fond of playing with pieces of glass. I left the room only for a moment but it was fatal moment , for me. .'-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

ARSENIC EATERS OF SYRIA.

Eating of arsenic is common in Styria. The Styrians say that arsenic makes one plump and comedy, and gives one strength for great exertions, such as running or notwithstanding Styria, in Austria, gives the world vast quanti- ties of arsenic. The manufacture of this drug is indeed the main Syrian in dustry. They who make arsenic, eat it, |as a rule, for they say that only the arsenic eater can withstand the arsenic fumes.
 These makers and eaters of the drug are comedy. They have a blooming and clear color. They look much younger than they are. The foreman in a certain arsenic factory told me that, in his boyhood, when he first came to that plant, he was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest his health suffer from the fumes," says a toxicologist. He did begin, and his first two or three small doses gave him a sharp pain, like a burn, in the stomach and this pain was followed by tremendous hunger and a violent, disagreeable excitement. But as his dozen increased in frequency and size, their effect became pleasant. There was no longer pain or excitement; on the contrary, there was ravenous appetite and mood of joyous activity wherein he could do three mems work. This chap by the time he got to be 30, was taking four grains of arsenic day. He looked at 30, with his clear pink land white color, no more than 2S. He was as robust as blacksmith-b he said he would die at 45 or so, that be- ing the age at which all the Styrian arsenic-eaters die. The drug is a pre- servative. and in Styria when graves are opened. bodies are found to be as fresh six or years after interment as on the day they were lowered into the earth.--Chicag Tribune.

WHAT IS THE SUN MADE OF?

WHAT IS THE SUN MADE OF? l It is generally agreed that the main body of the sun-the nucleus within the photospheere-must be purely gaseous. This seems to be an unavoidable con- clusion from the suns low mean density and it's tremendous internal tempera- I Lure, which must almost certainly be far higher than that of it's outer sur face; so high that even the enormous force of solar gravity is able to con- press the vapors to a density only one land four r-tenths that of water, although among the constituent elements are many of the metals Gron being the most conspicuous) which in the solid or Iiiquid state are from three to eight times as dense. The reader must not imagine, that this gaseous nucleus is l like air or other gases as we encounter I them upon the earth. Denser than water ,and strongly viscous from the heat, it more resembles a globe of tar except near the outside. There the vapors re- lieved from pressure are free to expand and to cool both by the expansion and l by radiatlng heat to outer space, in a region of powerful currents, ascending, and cyclonic.
 The photosphere or luminous Surface is generally believed to be what it looks ikea sheet of clouds enveloping the nucleus, and consisting of minute drops and crystals formed from those vapors which condense at the higtest tempera- lures, These clouds float in an atmos- phere composed of the permanent gases like hydrogen and helium mixed with the more numerous vapors which con- dense only at far lower temperatures than those that form the clouds. As to the substances which compose the cloud particles opinions are unsettled Professor c. A. Young of Princeton in Harper's Weekly.

NEW RAILROAD IN TURKEY.
Helping the Sultan to Bind His. Great
 Interest

Helping the Sultan to Bind His Great
 Interest.
 At the present time there are some thing like ten railroads in Turkey. owned by the French, English, Germans and Turks, but for the most part they are small lines and do limited busi- ness. The Damascus Mecca railway will be the largest road in the empire and will be constructed and conducted lon American lines. One of the largest steel concerns in the United States has just closed a contract with the Turkish government for 22,000 tons of steel rals had much larger orders are promised. The road is being built on standard gauge and plans are being made for the best types of locomotives made in the country and also for the finest freight and passenger cars that can be ltu~ned out from American shops.
 The importance of this move from a strategic viewpoint was shown by the extension of the railway line from Con- I the west from Dedeagatch at the mouth Ios the Maritza, the ancient Herbrus, the principal river of Thrace, over mountainous country through a wild region. It was originally buitl for mili- Etary purposes, but passenger trains are now run on it two days weew from IConstantinople to Salonica, making the "trip in tWenty-SeVen hours This rail- road played an important part in the defeat of the Greeks and the occupa- Ition of Thessaly by the turks in 1897. lThe forces of the sultan assembled in the provinces of the empire in Europe were hurried by thos line to the frontier land in ali incredibly short time Edhem Pasha, the commander of the imperial troops, had 1S00o0 horse and foot with lin striking distance.-Brooklyn Eagle.
