Columbus, Ohio, May Ex-Governor
Herrick received letter today from
a woman living in the southern part

asking permission to wear trousers. AS
reason for the request, she says she
is forced to work out of doors a great

male attire would be much more con-

AnorHEK EFFoRE.

The effort to regulate "the third house" of the Connecticut legislature is as interesting as other similar efforts have been, and perhaps it will be as futile. Representative Sachs Of Rock vile has presented a. bill which directs the secretary of state to maintain a docket in which shall be enrolled the names of all lawyers looking after the interests of corporations seeking priv ileges at the hands of the state. More over, the activities of these agents shall be exercised before committees only. No one is to be engaged whose compensation is dependent on the pass age of any measure. Any lawyer may be debarred for acting in any other capacity than that of adviser for his corporation, before any committee, and at the end of the session all corpora tions having so employed representa- tives shall file with the secretary of state an account of their expenses in- cured in securing the adoption of any bill in which they were interested.
 Perhaps we ought to have some such law as this. We have a large collec tion of good and well meaning laws, and some of them are enforced.

consider it worthy to rank next after common brick. Per SC it is able to withstand heat, but it's ability to retain its integrity in the chances of a fire, when water may be thrown upon it while heated, is by no means establish ed. It was placed at a special disad- vantage by having iron pipes placed be- tween it and the columns it was to pro- tect, with the result that the expansion of the pipes dislodged the terra cotta and exposed the columns to the fire. Terra-cotta partitions failed largely from faulty construction and terra-cot- ta floors failed because the heat crack ed off their flanges. On the Union Trust building the loss is found to have been 6l1s per cent, the Calvert 57.3 per cent, the Herald 5S.7 per cent, the Con- tinental GAS per cent, the Equitable
 4.S per cent, the Maryland 60 per cent. These are large losses, in view of the fact that these buildings were of the supposed fireproof class. But it must be said for them that they are among the four buildings in the burnt district that were not utterly destroyed.

He Sawed the Wood.

The poet sings of boyhood days,
 Of memories that mock their charms, The Kitchen wo0dbox's rayening ways
 Disturb the boy whose sturdy arms That whilom woodbox used to fill; knew that boy-I know him still. Beyond that dim poetic haze
 l see the kitchen wOodbox yawn, And in the light of other days
 I wonder why it does not dawn Upon that poet, wise and good, To sing the boy who sawed the wood! Beneath New Englands wintry sky,
 Outside the woodshed-minus doors see that cordwood looming high
 Beside the boy who did the chores, Who sawed and split and piled the That haunting woodbox's daily food. Beside the boy an open page
 An up-turned barrel held the book And stealthily from stage to stage
 Between the cuts, his eyes forsook The wooden task of saving wood And smiled with Dickens joviaf mood. The beaming Pickwick with his band,
 Job Trotter, Jingle--precious pair Sam Weller on the witness stand,
 The Fat Boy soundly sleeping there Companions all--nor left to brood That other boy who sawed the wood. The Judsons, Todds and Hannah More
 Were superseded and forgot The while that barrel-head up-bore
 Burns, Byron, Thackeray and Scott, Till Holmes and Lowell came and stood Beside the boy who sawed the wood. God bless that woodpile's treasure

 The friends it gave, abiding still: Our mothers smile that crowned with : love .t -

centuries. to reach the Pacific. and all most a century elapsed before the Aus tralians had crossed their island con- tinent. But the amazing Cossack pioneers actually traversed the whole of the vast territories of North Asia of less than seventy years. Yermak crossing the Urals in 15S1 and Dejnik, with his extraordinary expedition, reaching Behring Strait as it's dis ceverer in 164S. Such exploration has no parallel in the worlds history; and dring all the progress of Siberian de- velopment up to the recent day of the completion of the Siberian Railway, Tomsk had been a leading factor in the national progress.
 One Siberian city is very much re- plica of any other. Thus Tomsk is re- markedly like Omsk and Irkutsk. Numerous churches, with white walls and gilded bulbous cupolas, impart a quaint aspect of old ecclesiasticism to all towns that bear the stamp of Mus eovite nationality. But Tomsk enjoys some prouds distinctions. It possesse the only Siberian university which is located in a splendid range of buildings and ranks high among Russian aca- demic institutions. The university was opened only in 1889. It was ready for inauguration many years before, but the government was abjectly fearful of the effects of it's establishment. This city of sixty thousand people, accord ing to the census, contains thirty-six churches and twenty-eight schools. About one thousand students attend the university, of which the medical faculty is Nthe most complete depart
 ment. Not long since scores of stu dents were exiled for demonstrations of sympathy with their rioting breth- ern at St. Petersburg and other univer-
 sities. A great technical college has | just been established in Tomsk, of
 which much is expected.-From the St. Jamess Gazette. sssss

"rHE TRUrH, ABOUT THE GEAR.

"THE TYR RUTH" ABOUT THE GEAR.
 Carl Joubert tells what he says is ''the truth" about the Czar. Consider ation of sentiment or conventional reti- cence do not qualify his utterances. He wishes to indicate that the Czar of Russia, besides being weak, is the re- verse of brave. Accordingly, he shows us Nicholas II. abjectly hiding on the floor of his open carriage because lit- tie girl in holiday attire has flung a bouquet toward him, and assures us that the general who shared the car- riage with his sovereign on this occa- sion, and sought to reassure him, was promptly given post in a distant gov ernment, where he is not perpetually brought face to face with his imperial majesty Or take this passage: "The grand visit which Nicholas II. paid to France a few years ago was period of severe strain both to himself and to his gentlemen-in-waiting. Twice day he received absolution from his chaplain. In his clothes was concealed a small piece Of garlic, as a talisman against the plots of his enemies. A pope of the Orthodox church used to lick his left eye twice a day as pre- ventive against the nlachinations of the Nihilists, No one but Baron Freed ericksz knows the extent of the misery which he suffered until he returned to Russia"
 If this is really the truth about the Czar he isn't much, even if he does wear a crown.

 All students of the early history of Siberia are aware that Yermak is fully entitled to his place in the hearts of the people as the most wonderful hero the nation ever knew. That wild Cos. sack leader was only one of family of river pirates, but he won Siberia for the Czar Ivan the Terrible, character very much like himself, by his raids among the Tartars in the territory across the Urals as far as the Irtysh and Sibirka rivers. On the banks of the Sibirka was a stronghold of a fierce Tartar chief. From this fortress, Sibir captured by Yermak's Cossacks in a terrible night assault, Siberia is named. It was, of course, only a limit ed Siberia that was thus annexed, but

sa. ts- s s
 The great fire in Baltimore, which happened just about a year ago. has been studied with care, and some inter- esting conclusions have been reached. Engineering News discusses at some length and in much detail "the damage done to fireproof buildings in the Balti- more fire' year ago, and sums up the conclusions of engineers as to the les- sons conveyed. What is the commer- cial value of fireproof construction? At the time of the fire prominent engineers and architects estimated the fire loss on fireproof structures at from 25 to 40 per cent, but the final figures show that the actual damage was from 60 to 70 per cent. of the sound value of the buildings. No allowance was made for the cost of removing sound material in order to replace the damaged material. The actual money loss comes out ac- cordingly double the amount first esti- mated. The building owner lost from 50 to 75 per cent. of his investment. The tenant lost everything. 'As re- spects the tenant" says the Engineer ing News, ''his loss could not have been greater had he occupied a timber shan ty." The gain from ''ireproof" con- struction accrued wholly to the owner, and for him the saving was from 25 to 40 per cent. On other kinds of con- struction the loss was practically near ly 100 per cent.
 The loss on 'trim,' finish and equipment was very heavy, as was to be expected of any fire. The structural integrity of the buildings was also im- paired to considerable extent. Foun- dations suffered 21s per cent, steel frames 12 per cent, and mason work 5S per cent. Where steel framework was seriously injured, as in the Equitable and Herald buildings, it'was due to de- fective fireproofing material and con- struction or faulty design and scanty material. As to one of these buildings, the News says that "the fireproofing of the steel''-the material placed around the steel to protect it from heat-"was farce; it was scarcely more efficient than a wooden joist and plank floor ing" On these buildings the steel loss was, respectively, 31 and 421a per cent, but on the other four tall buildings it was only from 1.o3 to 9.4 per cent. For the four it averaged but Az per cent. The mason work fared much worse, the loss running from 31 per cent. on com- mon brick to S9 per cent. on fireproof partitions. Pressed brick was inferior to common brick as fire-resister. The greater part Of the loss on the latter, in fact, was due to the necessity of re- moving it to replace other damaged material. Stone work failed wherever the fire got fair chance at it, and can no longer be regarded as in the list of materials suitable for fireproof con- struction. AS the loss on terra cotta was S2 per cent, the News is unable to
