The Great siberian aefr,serator.


 To appreciate the severity of the cli- mate of northern Siberia it is only nec- essayy to understand the practical pur- poses it is made to serve. The entire country ia used as q refrigerator for the preserving of srticles of food. One day a traveller, dining at Tornsk on q plurap fowl, asked how long the bird had been killed. The landlord evident ly softened his reply as much as pos sibie, knowing the repugnance of most foreigners to any food not quite fresh.
 '@Two months only," he said; snot a day more"
 No precautions are required for the preservation of beef, for it takes care of itself Nearly all butchers kill at the beginning of the cold weather a sufficient number of animals to furnish provisions for the entire winter and allow the meat to freeze. There is no fear of any food changing in such a temperature. Fish become 50 solid and stiff that they are set up on their tails against the walls of the market.-Ex- change.

shark spearIna.

Shark spearing is a profitable indus try in Malaysia, though attended by an element of danger and no end of excitement. The chief value of the fish is it's liver, which yields an oil that is refined in Europe and sold as cod liver oil. Tn October the ocean sharks come into the lagoon, between the barrier reef and the atolls, to pair. At this time they can oe speared in large numbers by people skilled in catching them. There are several spe' cies of these sharks, and they ordi- narily run from seven to fifteen feet in length. The liver of shark of this size gives about i've gallons of oil. The sharks are found in pairs, and the harpooners try to kill the male first, in which case they are able also to spear the female, as 1t does not desert It's nnate.--Argonat1t.

 William G. McAdoo, who is promi- nently mentioned for the treasurership of the coming campaign, was cIoseted with Wilson for several hours today. Neither McAdoo nor Wilson would dis cuss the topic of conversation, al- not the treasurership.

rhe Beet court Of AppeaI,

No one could say sharp or bitter thing with more absolute coolness than Lord Westbury, who was made lord chancellor of England in 1881.
 After retiring from the office of lord chancellor he took very active part in the house of lords, sitting as court of appeals, where his colleagues were Lord Chelmsford and Lord Colonsay. Lord St. Leonards, who was senior to them all. never attended. One day Lord Westbury chaneed to meet him and said. My dear St. Leonards. why don't you come and give US your val. uable assistance in the house of lords?"
 "Ah," said Lord St. Leonards, 'I should be of no use. ] am old and blind and stupid"
 My dear lord" said Westbury, ''that does not signify in the least, I am old, Chelmsford Is blind, and Colonsay Is stupid. yet we make the very best court of appeals which has ever sat in that assembly,"

A pranaatie scene.

A Dramatic Boone.
 The most dramatic scene ever wit messed in Westminster hall was that trial in Henry WILLS reign when 460 men and il women appeared before the king and some of his great nobles with ropes around their necks on g charge of being concerned in the rising of the prentices on the previous May day. Fortunataly they had good friends in three Queens-Katherine, Mary of France and Margaret of Scotland who begged for their pardon on their knees, and when Henry at last yielded to such applications the prisoners, it is said, 'gave a mighty shout for joy, throwing their halters toward the top of the hall" The stage has never pro- duced anything to rival that dramatic moment.-London Graphic.

Letter to M. T. Dahlin,

DE1ug%pUN1s (% Dear sir: Paint goes by gallons. There are useful and useless gallons. Useful paint is lead-zinc- and-on with dryer and color; useless paint is whit ing. china clay, ground stone, barytes, benZine, or water.
 This stuff is putin, because 1t IS cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make more gallons to sell; of course, the buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't buy it.
 1t costs as much to brush-on this useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it looks like that and feels like that pect it. Besides, if the owner is will painting two gallons for one? He is paid by the day; more gallons, more days, more money.
 Average paint at full price is about ~one-third this use less stuff; and aver age paint at $1.25 or $1.50 or $1.75 a gallon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint is the proper name for all but pure paint; it is made to fool people with. Knaye paint is another good name: it is made, of course, by knaves. Sick paint is name for an honest weak paint. They are all weak and all ex- travagnt: too many gallons to buy and too many gallons to brush-o Devoe is the standard.

Mme de Remusat had features so perfect that her contemporaries said she was worthy to sit as model for a Greek goddess. The desh of her face closely resembied alabaster, and yet she was not pale and did not give the impression of being in delicate health. Her beauty attracted uniyer- sal attention to her. no matter where she went, and even in old age she re- tained most of her good looks.

Although she has taught her be-

whom she was arrested at Des
Moines, Ia., after Edwards and his
uncle, Sidna Allen, had successfully
eluded the men who wanted them for
participating in the murderous raid
on the Hillsville court house last
March. Miss Iroler defends him
thus: do I think he is guilty? Why,

had attracted the attention of Mr..

Rejected Suitor, who Travels Many
Miles, Tells Strange Story.

Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 27.-The
United Charities had an application
to-day from a we'll dressed, prosper
Gus looking intelligent white man,
who told a rather queer story. He
declared that he had no money and
that he had just come from Texas in
answer to a long series of correspond
ence from lady in this county. They
had become engaged and he came
here to marry her, but when she saw
him she backed out, claiming that he
was older than his picture made him
appear.
The man gave his name as Ware.
He stated that he had about $3.50 in
cash, besides a lot of jewelry, jew
eler's tools and things of that kind.
he being a small jewelry dealer in
the town where he resided. The lady
told him that she had several hun
dred dollars and would set him up IN
business. He evidently sent her i
photograph that was taken several
years ago.
At any rate, about the time he ar
rived here he became sick and was
laid up in bed for two or three
weeks. By the time he recovered
his money was all gone. He told
the secretary of the United Charities
that he had been living on ten cents
a day for four days, being too proud
to beg and not caring to let his real
condition be known. The freight on
his supplies amounts to about SO
and he is now trying to raise that
amount and get down to work.

Potato-Hill Philosophy.

The more carefully you go into
nearly everything the more the dis
advantages show up.
Mules are about the most worthy
animals 1 know anything about.
They work hard and live on half that
a horse requires. I never knew a
mule to kick any one or run away,
yet no one ever looks at a mule
without saying whoa there!"
Why not introduce the recall in
decisions of parents about their chill
dren? Many children are treated
unjustly by angry and unreasonable
parents.
The suffragette attitude toward
the men is the attitude of a Demo-
cratic politician toward a Republl-
can administration; that is to say, it
is unfair, untrue and demands more
than God can grant.
1t will be a matter of great regret
to T. R. that he cannot attend his
own funeral and note how the
mourners take on
Pessimism is always nearer the
truth than optimism.
1t is a very bad sign if cranks are
friendly to you.
1t is a woman's duty to be good
looking.-E. w. Howe's Monthly.
