FLED pEFOHE FLAMES
RUSSIAN PEASANTS SUFFERERS
FROM PRAIRIE FIRES.
Huge Areas Devastated and Human
Lives, as Well as Live Stock
Sacrificed-WhoIe Settle
ments Wiped Out.

Midsummer in Russia has been ush.
cred in by a great epidemic of fires
on the 'steppes.
The intense iryness of the season
has spread the fires over a huge area
One of the most dreadful fires that
the Russian steppes have ever seen
ragged a few days ago in the Province
Of Turgai, on the other side of the
Ural mountains, and to the northeast
IF the Caspian. On these steppes vast
seas of grass stretch to the horizon
raised only by shrubs of the wild
cherry and dwarf almond on the hill
sides or by clumps of wormwood when
the soil is clayey. Herds of cattle
and horses Craze on the plains.
1t was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe, sure sign to the
inhabitants that fire was in progress
So appalling was the speed with
which the fire rolled over the dry and
yellow grass that the peasants had
quickly to concert measures for saw
ing just their own lives from destruc
ton. Feverish activity prevailed in
all the villages until the tongues of
flame which came on nearer and near
er with uncanny swiftness appeared
on the horizon
Swept forward by the rushing wind
sparks from the conf1agration kindled
In advance another fire, which in a
short time enveloped 10000 acres Of
grazing ground. Swifter and swifter
h !, vii, II
fiery waves. Enormous pillars Of
flame shot up into the air. The sue
ticn was so strong that slabs of turf
and burning branches were hurled up
into the air and thrown far away
Men and cattle were hard put to it
to save themselves. Their least dan
ger was of being scorched by the fiery
breath which swept on ahead of the
furnace. Women and children who
sank helpless to the ground were
dragged along by the other villagers,
for only hasty fight was now of any
avail. But even this would not have
saved them had not a lake lain in
their path, into which they all rushed
wading in as far as they could with
out drowning.
Imagine. then. hundreds of persons
standing in the waters up to their
shoulders, while all round them
masses of fame ran along the banks
and sent out flickering tongues over
the water in their direction, baffled in
their thirst for victims.
Some OF the inhabitants of the vii
lagos on the steppes directly they saw
the fire advancing set to work to burn
large areas, and on these oases they
collected all their cattle and household
goods. At last heavy shower came
and ,>extinguished the prairie fire.
Many perished in the flames or were
stifed by the smoke, five in one vii
lage, three in another, and SO on. Be-
sides this there was great destruction
Of livestock, large and small.-Ham-

Experimenting With Death.

There are few men, perhaps. who
have not a hundred times in the
course of life, felt curiosity to
know what their sensations would be
If they were compelled to lay life
down. The very impossibility, in or
dinary cases, of obtaining any ap-
proach to this knowledge, is an inces-
SAINT spur pressing on the fancy in
Its endeavors to arrive at it. Thus
poets and painters have ever made
the estate of a man condemned to die
one Of their themes of comment or
description. Fcotboys and 'prentices
Hang themselves every other day, con-
clusively-missing their arrangement
for slipping the knot half way-out Of
seeming instinct to try the secrets
of that fate, which-less in jest than
earnest-they feel an inward moni-
ton may become their own And
thousands of men, in early life, are
uneasy until they have mounted a
breach or fought duel merely be-
cause they wish TO know, experiment
ally, that their nerves are capable of
carrying them through that peculiar
ordeal.-From lie Revenant."

explained, was composed chiefly of vol.

their homes and kept in repair by
their wives, task that no wife per-
formed more faithfully than his own !;
in fact, she was too careful of it.
When night alarm was given for a

factory and the wharves, and he
jumped up TO dress. she had positively
refused to allow him to put it on, de-
caring that smoke and cinders We're

Chinese Women Want Ballot.

Miss Margaret Chung, young Chi,
nese woman, is at the head of the
movement which proposes to form an
organization of American women for
the purpose of assisting and encourag g
ing the women of China in making the
best use of their newly acquired right
to the ballot. She is the secretary OF
the Woman's Auxiliary of the Chinese.
American League of Justice at Los
Angeles, Cal, and a member of the
Chinese Protective association and OF
the Chinese Womens Reform club.
''Without the assistance of thei1
Caucasian sisters the Chinese women
may never reap the full benefit of the
franchise,' Miss Chung declared when
talking about the proposed organiza
ton. when the new republic OF
China granted the franchise to women
1t was the most significant step that
could have been taken in the interest
of progress. Only a Chinese woman
can fully understand what is meant by
giving Chinese girls an equal chance
with the boys. 1t heralds the dawn OF
golden epoch, more than even the
men OF China realize. More and bet
ter missionary work can be done fol
China by instructing and encouraging
the women in the use of tn ballot
than in any other way"

How the Picture Animals Talk.

A Partisan novelty Is picture
book of animals, and each animal ut
{ ters its own characteristic cry. The
pictures represent the most familiar
domestic animals, and each animal
speaks its own language. To cause
it to break silence nothing is neces-
sary but to pull a little string at the
edge of the book.
In the books are to be seen g.
rooster, COW, lamb, little birds in
their nest, a donkey, cuckoo, a goat.
On the last page are children who are
welcoming their parents. BY pulling
the string at the right page the cry
Of any particular creature is ELECTED.
The listener hears the donkey heehaw
and the rooster crow. The crowins is
well initiated. The string is p
again and the lamb bleats, the biz 5
twitter, the cuckoo sings, the COW
moos, or the little children call out
papa" and mamma"
These interesting \results are OBJ
tanned simply by the aid of small bal
lows placed in a bcx hidden in the
book. When the string is pulled the
air enters the corresponding bellows
and is thence expelled by spring.
The air makes its exit through a spe-
cial tube appropriate for each cry,
and at the same time the bellows
meets with obstacles placed on a
wire.

The assessed Ss.lle of the property OF

aggregate approximately SS5, 600. This
vast amount of property must be placed
upon the Rolls in varying amounts of $40
and upwards. In order to have this work
properly done the County Assessor should
be familiar with property values through

laws governing the assessment of prop
erty. Mr.. Haynes has had practical ex-
