LIFE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE.
One Political Offender Who Lives In
Comparative Luxury.

comparative Luxury
How a political exile lives in Siberia
is shown in NJ. B. Prices book "Si-
beria." Mr.. Price encountered this ex-
lie at Minusinsk. He and his family
lived in large house, and his actual
punishment seems to consist Of a GER
tain social ostracism consequent upon
punishment from the great centers of
Russian life.
when l went to cali upon him he
came to the door himself and, showing
me in through a room where he and
his wife had been having their even
ing meal, ushered me into q room be-
yond. l noticed his calm, philosophical
face was that OF a man who had eyi-
IDENTIFY endured mental strain with stoi-
cal fortitude, but his wife, more nerv-
Gus than he, showed signs Of former
anxiety. 1t seemed strange indeed that
l should be sitting in company with
two members of high Russian society,
now ostracized by exile to Siberia, and
stranger still to partake of their intel
ligent conversation on topics of human
interest.
First of all / was interested to know
what sort Of restrictions We're placed
upon the exiles liberty. l found that

triet In which he resided and that ev-

PURE PRUsSIC ACID.

Would Kill Instantly.

Just a Smell of This Deadly Poison
Would Kill Instantly.
The discoverer of prussic acid was
instantly killed by inhaling one whiff
of his own handiwork.
Pure prussic acid Is never sold or
handled. The smell OF it is always
fatal 1t kills not in three minutes or
half an hour, but the instant it enters
the lungs as a gas. The mixture or
dinarily sold as prussic acid is 98 parts
water to two parts of the drug Even
In this form it is very deadly. A 20
per cent mixture of the acid would kill
nearly as quickly as if pure.
Atropine, though it has no harmful
odor, is so deadly that as much of 1t as
would adhere to the end of moistened
forefnger would instantly cause death.
Cyanide Of potassium has a pleasant
smell which is not injurious, but a
small quantity swallowed kills at once
cause death almost as quickly as prus-
sic acid

burn wood, eat through iron plates and
destroy whatever it touches Such an
accident once happened in an acid fac
tory. Every one ran away, leaving
the acid to amuse itself by setting fire
to things. Soon ii was seen that the
building would be destroyed and nun
dreds of people thrown out of work,
and four men volunteered to put out
the fire In the acid room They sue

hours later all were dead.

The other evening we were talking
to Mr. Bransby Williams, the delight

the period recent The vicar was sit

In due course the incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance.
Before he could say anything one of
the bridegrooms approached and said:

and we have made up our minds to
remain as we are"
And they did so.-Pearson's Weekly.

FEET AND FLOORS.
How the Body May Be Robbed of lts
Heat and Vitality.

cold floor is one that conducts heat
away from the body. not necessarily
one that is cold in itself. A wooden
floor and a stone floor exposed to the
cold will in themselves have no great
difference in temperature. But one
may walk barefooted over a wooden
floor with comparative comfort, no
matter how cold the weather, while a
stone floor will seem to freeze the feet
On the other hand, in warm room
the stone floor will be warmer than the
wooden floor, for it will take up the
heat. Thus the heat from a radiator
standing on a stone or tile floor will
make it warm for several feet in every
direction, but it9vlll affect the wooden
floor only very slightly. A cold floor,
therefore, is not floor which sends
cold into the body through the feet,
but one which takes away the body
heat, leaving 1t cold
Life consists in keeping up the body
heat. 1t is In order to get sufficient
body heat that we eat and to retain 1t
that we wear clothes. Were there no
wind and if we moved hardly at all
clothes would not be necessary, be
cause the heat of the body would keep
layer of heated air about us all the
time. But the wind and our natural
movements constantly disperse this
layer of heated air, and in consequence
we wear clothes to keep this layer in.
In summer GOODNESS is secured by
loose clothing, which lets the wind
blow away the heated air; in spring
and fall more closely woven garments
keep the heated air near. In very cold
weather furs are used, because the
skin and the fur afford a powerful re
sistance to the escape of body heated
air. AS long as the body heat is kept
up illness is likely to be a long time
away.
Cold floors rob US of body heat-they
steal away our vitality. The slow sap
ping of vitality that comes from stand
ing on cold floors is fearfully weaken
ing to the system. No matter how old
or ragged a rug or carpet, no matter
how thin a cork or fiber mat, it will
lengthen your life and save you from
numberless discomforts which cold
floors cause.-New York Journal.

ROME,S COLISEUM.
1t Go7 Its Name From a Nearby Gigsn-
tic Statue af Nero

ZIG SkdIue al iNGFO.
While thousands annually visit the
Coliseum. few seem to question the ori-
gin of it's unusual name. which is de-
rived from a statue of Nero that stood
near by Being Il great height, 1t was
known as The colossus of Nero so the
sagaries sD ronunciation of many hun
dred yea created this unique name
from "netr the colossus" The Coli
scum was founded A. ID. II by the
Emperor Vespasian His son. Titus,

thus is supposed to have been its archi-
sact, and by cruel fate he was one of
the many Christian martyrs whose
blood has consecrated and made this
glorious building sacred to posterity
Twelve thousand captive Hebrews
were employed in its building During
the progress of the shows that were
given in this great amphitheater an
awning was stretched on poles, and
some of the brackets for the support
of these are still to be seen. A few
numbers are yet visible by which the
arches could be reached by the specta-
tors, having tickets of similar num-
bers.
One arch of extra width is thought
to be the one under which the emper
ors of old Rome entered. An entrance
similar on the opposite side had sub
terranean passage leading to the Pala-
tine. Four rows of cells were the DOM
icile of the wild beasts, and during
series of shows given in honor of the
Emperor Hadrian's birthday thou
sand of these animals were slaugh-
tered. Gladiatorial combats were also
eagerly watched. and in these even
women would sometimes take part. OF
the many Christian martyrs the Coli
scum has claimed the most noted was
St Ignatius. bishop of Antioch. Close
ly following this crime 115 Christians
were shot down with arrows, and, as
usual, this hideous sight was viewed
by a sanguinary horde. = Baltimore

Speak Their Own Names.

An Eastern People Who Are Afraid to
Speak Their Own Names.
In his book, "The Lushei Kuki Clan,
Lieutenant Colonel J. Shakespear tells
of a curious trait Of the Lusheis, a
Bengal frontier race. They have 9
strong and general dislike to speaking
their own names. The author tells oil
his experience with this strange peo
Pile and accounts for that fear in the
following manner:
When we first occupied the hills {
man would not tell US his name Il
asked he would refer us to some one
else and say, You tell him" The fol
lowing explanation of their habit was
given by Lushei:
"Lusheis are shy of saying the name
Of their father and their mother and
their own name. Because it is their
own name they are shy Of saying it
Some people are shy because their
names are bad. Their parents names
because they are their parents they
never call them by their names; there
fore they are shy of saying them
IHelE own uduleS diSo lhcy never say
Just for that reason they are shy OF
saying them The names Of their
brothers and friends they are always
saying; therefore they are not shy OF
saying them"
Long ago another explanation was
given. When a man kills another he
calls out his own name, q, Lalmanga

the dying man may know whose slave
he will be in "Mithi-Khua," the dead
mans village. Accordingly, it was sug
