The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1908-11-26

Vice-Consul Chanler reports from Dali
ney that 100000 Russians have moved
into Siberia from European Russia dur
ing the past year, and that each of these
colonists received thirty-seven acres OF
land free, with the assurance that there
would be no taxes for the first year of
occupation, and only so per cent. of the
regular tax for the second year. Siberia
will soon become an inviting country if
opportunity is thus opened for the Rus
sian peasants, and the improvement in
social conditions there will be reflected
in the course of time, in the entire body
polite of the Cars empire.

Sewino on Waist Buttons,

When making lingerie waists or any
waists Of thin and sheer materials
stitch a band of tape or an extra fold
of the goods down the middle Of the
hem where the buttons are to be sewed.
The buttons should be sewed to this.
1t gives extra body to the hem and
makes a firmer foundation for the but
tons to be sewed to. and this will pre-
vent them from tearing off and pulling

Who Are the Zulua?

Who are the Zulus? No one knows
for certain, as they have no written

Is the limit OF any oral tradition that
is worthy Of notice. Probably they
are Semitic or semi-Semitic in their
origin. since they retain sundry Of the
customs Of the Jews and kindred peo-
pies. Thus they celebrate feast of
the first fruits and have somewhat
similar regulations as to clean and un-
clean food, etc. We may hazard q
guess, however, that for hundreds of
thousands Of years they and other
tribes Of the Bantu people have been
engaged in forcing their way south
