wond.rful Siberian RaiIwav,

The great railway of 5000 miles in length that runs across Siberia is one of the most marvellous in the world, first because of the difficulties that had to be faced in building it and, second ly, because of its enormous length. For nearly 1000 miles along this steel track the line crosses an almost tree less plain. All the stations along those weary miles are at least thirty miles apart, and most of the villages are a long way from the stations.
 In winter this Siberian line is one continuous view of snow, stretching for miles along the seemingly endless desert. Sometimes the villages and stations are almost buried in snow, and not infrequently the train gets showed up. Water for the stoves and the en- zines has to be brought steaming hot lest 1t should freeze on the way, and often men at the stations in the depth of winter have to chop off long icicles from the engine and cars. But even the intense cold has its advantages, for dairy products, such as cheese and but ter, can be carried by rail without hav- ing to be put into refrigerating trucks.

Baths For the Canary.

Under normal conditions most birds probably bathe daily, and canaries in captivity should be allowed the same opportunity. When individual birds ob- stinately refuse to enter the water gentle spraying usually will induce them to bathe.
 Small china dishes that are not too deep make good bathing pans. When n bird becomes accustomed to one dish it usually will refuse to bathe in another one of different shape and color. In winter the water should be warmed un- til tepid. Even in warm weather too cold water is not advisable. If the room, ordinarily warm, becomes cold temporarily, birds should not be allow ed to bathe. ..a
 During mott the bath should be given not more than twice each week. When breeding the female canary should not be allowed to bathe from the time the eggs hatch until the young are three or four days Old.-United States Depart meDt of Agriculture Bulletin.

Natives of Australia Are Wizards In
 the Art of Tracking.
 In endurance and speed the Aus traIian aborigine is not the equal of the American Indian, and his weapons of wood and poorly fashioned stones are effective only at short range, but as a hunter the native Australian is marvelOusly adjusted to his environ ment. His success lies in an intimate knowledge of the habits of animals on land, in the ground, in trees and under water, and his wonderfully developed powers of observation.
 He decoys pelicans by initiating their cries, catches ducks by diving below them, locates an Opossum in tree by marks on the bark or by the flight of mosquitoes, finds snakes by observing the action of birds and follows bee to its store of honey.
 Any animal which leaves track, however dim, in sand, on rock or fin grass falls an easy prey to the black fellow.

At the annual meeting of the Savings Bank of Stafford Springs. held yesterday, the following officers were elected: President, Charles Warren; vice-presidents, Robbins Patten, Smith W. Page, Orrin Con. verse; directors, M. P. J. Walker, Luoian Holt, M. H. Kinney, Luman Oroutt, Andrew Whiton. Luous Blod. Rett, Freeman F.

 The main building and foundry of s. B. Amidon of Staffordyille was destroyed by fire Monday evening. The loss on buildings and machinery is estimated at $15,OOO with an in. snrance of $05OO. MT. AmIdon em !. ployed about 15 skilled workmen. The burned building had history of considerable interest. The oldest part was built in 1894 by Adin Ruggles, who came from Massachusetts and established pistol mannfaotory in the Enilding, part of which now stands opposite Chaffee's store, and which had been built and fitted for q cotton mill. Ruggles proposed to remove his works to the new building, but about the time the building was ready he was killed accidentally by one of his workmen, who was testing c pistol. The business, however, was carried on in tile new shop by his widow and another, under the name of Davis & Ruggles until about 1897 when a business panic and resultant failures crippled and discouraged the further prosecution of the bust. ness, also causing the closing of g rival factory which had been started by (R. w. Andrews &S Perry. The building was then for a year or two occupied as a silk mill by MT. Dale, for whom Daleville in Wilmington was named. In 1842 Harvey Waters, the well known inventor, comm enced here the making of pins, perfeoting here the first machine for making solid head pins, also for sticking pins in papers, but soon sold out his inventions, and the works were re- novel elsewhere. Meanwhile (Elijah Fairman & (Linooln) Bardwell were engaged at Stafford Hollow in mak ing satinet looms. Later (E. A.. Con verse (R. w. Andrews & Farley, Howe bought out Messrs. Fairmar 6 Bardwell and removed the works tc Staffordville, and there they have Esince continued with several changes of firm. Howe 6 Converse were succeeded, after the death of MT. Howe in 1873, by s. P. Amidon, who has since prosecuted the business. Certain inventions and improvements made by R. W. Andrews were put on the looms, since when they have been known as the Stafford loom, and acknowledged the best loom for cheap woolen fabrics made in the country, and a considerable demand for them still exists, while large business was done in supplying parts and repairs for those in use. The loss of the patterns for these was a serious one.

SLEEPINESS AFTER MEALS.
It Indicates Something Wrong With the
 Digestive System.

R Indicates Something Wrong With the
 Digestive System.
 A condition of drOwsiness, which may become an irresistible desire to take a nap shortly after eating, is usually a very accurate indication that something is wrong with the digestive apparatus. Usually this form of indi- gestiOn is chronic in character, and ap- parently there is no other evidence that it exists, or at least such evidence would not be detected by ordinary Ob- serVatiOn.
 In such cases the desire to take nap comes on suddenly, but the nap is a very short one, ordinarily not more than fifteen minutes. Sometimes the desire for these indigestion maps" comes on at other periods than those immediately following meals, but in such cases this desire comes regularly at certain periods of the day. The cause, however, is the same as in cases where drowsiness comes on immediate ly after the meal, the difference in time being simply the difference in the in- terval required for the food to reach the portion of the intestinal tract that is not working properly.
 Occasional drowsiness following an unusually hearty meal should not be confused with the type of periodic de- sire for a short nap referred to here. Such drowsiness indicates simply that the digestive apparatus is temporarily overworked and may be in a perfectly healthy condition. This sort of drowsi- ness, if indulged, usually persists for several hours, whereas the maps caused by indigestion are always of short du- ratiOn.-Exchange

CAREER SEEKING WOMEN.
One Hundred a Day Flock to New
 York Tempting Fate.

One Hundred a Day Flock to New
 York Tempting Fate
 One hundred women a day come ca. reer seeking in New York city. This is the figure furnished by Director c. B. Barns of the state bureau of employ ment. He bases his estimate upon the number of women handled daily by the Travellers Aid, the number regis tered at hotels and those registered by the state bureau and other employ ment agencies.
 One hundred women a day, 36,J0O a year A fraction over four every hour; approximately one every time the min ute hand crosses the fifteen minute mark.
 Mir. Barns estimates that large per centage of career seekers come from up state and towns about New York and New Jersey. Probably 70 per cent, he says, come from western states. The smallest portion of the number comes from the south. Some succeed; more fail Yet always others come, answer ing the call of the minute hand as it mills round and round like the finger of Fate. beCkOning.
 Statistics are impersOnaL They say nothing of who the women are nor why they come nor what they find instead of what they expect. They don't say there's tragedy in head shake. And a laugh round the edge of tragedy
 Statistics haven't told the whole story. They do not say that hope, promise, disaster wait hundred times a day for the woman who comes tO New York.-Wnifred Van Duzer in New York American.

CARRIER PIGEONS.

Messages They Carry Are Packed in
 Small Goose Guile.
 Tine general notion that all that has to be done in forwarding fl dispatch by pigeons Is to catch the bird, tie let ter to it's leg and then liberate 1t is wrong, as the method of attaching the message is of great importance.
 Prior to the siege of Paris the meth cd of affixing the message to the bird had not received that attention which it demanded, and consequently many dispatches were lost in transit.
 At first the message was merely rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro- tect 1t from the weather and then at tached to q feather in the birds tail. But it was soon found that the twine which kept the missive in place cut or damaged the paper, and therefore ill order to prevent it from being pecked by the pigeon and from being injured by wet the dispatch was inserted in n small gOOsequill two inches in length.
 The quill was then pierced close to each end with a redhOt bOdkin, so as not to split it, and in the holes waxed silk threads were inserted to affix it to the strongest tail feather. By attach ing the message to this part of the birds body it's flight was not in any way interfered wieh.-LOne Scout.
