A HUCKLEBERRY MARKET.
ranadlan Iterry Plekert nnil Ilnyert.
Ing DUtance. to 'Market.
Tho huckleberry market nt Grand liny
gave me another glimpse of Sngiciiny life,
At my camp on tho tjcncli I watched the
title steal up.tlio snuds till the great bay
was filled to the lirlm, nntl the terraces
of inhabited lnntl', a verdant iimpliltlien-.
tre nntlcr liakl (rrnnlte peaks, rested In the
silence ot midnight. Then I walked over
to the wharf to see n quaint market scene
by starlight on the shores of thla savage
river. A I drew near tho medley of
sounds divided Itself into many signs ot
human life; tho driving ot horses, the
calls ot men and women, tho talking of a
multitude, filled the obscurity with Invis
ible yet eager spirits. Tho road was lined
on each side with carta and buckboards
plied with boxes, and halt dnipod with
protecting boughs and gran. Half a
dozen buyers moved about among tho
crowd, mid their lanterns showed a forest
ot rough booted legs, of shaggy fetlocks
and muddy wheels, and when the light
was raised to cxoinlno nn opeuetl box of
berries the tanned, furrowed, eager-faces
of men ennio out of the night like heads
by Hcmbrnndt. The uarkiie.waJi full of
strong human feeling, questions, answers,
oners, refusals, expostulations, sighs ot
discouragement.
A little booth nb the end of tho wharf
filled with a crowd watching some
boisterous men playing cards'for candles;
with hats tipped back and chins out
stretched In eager disputatious, they had
shullled olt their mortal responsibilities
onto the jack ot trumps. In the opposite
booth four strong, shaggy, black eyed
men and a wrinkled dame sat about a
dirty table and uto dry bread by the light
of a candle. The talk In, this dingy cabin
was low and gloomy; a lad lying on his
back on a bench announced in preciso and
bitter speech tho condition of things:
"Tho boxes must be large, well filled with
clean fresh licrries; the price, then, ladles
and gentlemen, Is fifteen cental"
"J ust so," replied one ot the men, as no
crunched his crust with vim; "we are
fourteen; wo picked hard during two
days, and got sixteen boxes; they gave mo
SM.40 for tho lot; eighty cents oil for tho
boxes, leaves mo $1.00 for tho profit. It
they think; that pays, let them pick and
we'll buy."
"No danger," said another, "of their
tramping overtherocksl And we'refools
to spend our time for them. Now I come
from near Lake St. John, about fifty
miles from here, with twenty boxes, and
I've got $s net for picking three days with
twelve hands, and for driving a hundred
miles."
Then they were silent for a while, till
the old woman said, in a calm, resigned
way:
"wen. yes, tnot's an true enongn, out
what can wedof Blueberries are the only
blessed tiling thnt can bo sold for cash.
Where else could we get the $15,000 a,
year that comes into the country? It's all
very well to tell us to Improvo our farms
instead of picking berries, but we'd starve
to death on tho farm alone." C. II. Fnrn

The Consclenttoan Newspaper 9fan.
It is my experience that a conscientious
newspaper man will do his work inter
viewing Included about right if the man
who has tho news to give will only let
him. Reporters don't wilfully and ma
liciously misquote talkers and misstate
facts, as they are so generally credited
with doing, and I find that tho best plan
to pursue in giving nuterial for publica
tion is to state the facts clearly an let
the reporter do tho dressing up. Theso.
fellows who nlwnys Insist on being re
ported verbatim, and who must dictate
the text of every item they furnish, in
variably make a sorry mess ot it. au
other thing I've noticed: If a man has a
speech prepared for a banquet, presenta
tion or any occasion of that character, he
had better give the reporter the manu
script and go it blind than trust himself
to stick to his prepared speecti, for, nine
times in ten, he'll get away from his
paper before ho Is half through, in which
cose, he'll thank his stars forever that the
reporter has a grammatical and reason
ably coherent composition to print instead
of his disjointed "impromptu" speech.

Snutlay Election. In Switzerland.
I mado friends with the lnstltuteur of
tho Vllleueuvo public school, who led tho
singing at church nnd kept the village
book fctore; nnd he, too, talked politics
with me, and told mo thnt all electloni
were held on Sunday, when the people
were nt leisure, for otnerwiso tney would
not take the time to vote. Ho was not so
clear as to why they were always held In
church, but thnt Is the fact; and some
times the Bncied character tof the place Is
not enough to suppress boisterous party
feeling, though it certainly helps to con
trol it.
After divine service on election Sunday
I went to the Croix Blanche for my cof
fee, to pass the time till the voting should
begin. On the church door was posted a
printed Biimmons to the electors, and on
the cafe billiard tables I found ballots of
the different parties scattered. Gendarmes
had also distributed them about in tho
church pews; they were inclosed in envel
ops, which were voted sealed. On a tnblo
before the pulpit the ballot box a glass
urn was placed, and beside it sat the
Judges ot election, with lists of the regis
tered voters, uut in any precinct of the
canton nn elector who could prove that he
had not voted nt home might deposit Ids
ballot in any other. The church bell rang
for tbe people to assemble, and tbe voting
began and ended In perfect quiet. Hut I
could not witness an election of this an
cient republic, where freedom was so
many centuries old, without strong emo
tion; tt hud from its nature and the placo

CZAR 'ALEXANDER'S CHARACTER.
One or thn Most Agreeabla of Compao
lonfr How !! Cnn.lder. Criminal..
Tho cznr Is not approachable for obvious
reasons. Ho Is tho most difficult man in
the world to see for any purposei bocauso
he is so completely surrounded by police
and soldiers; but when access Is once
gained to his presence he Is represented as
one ot the most agrccablo 6t companions
"notagoHl talker," as one expressed
It, "but a splendid listener." lie soemr
to be interested in anything you are ot a
mind to discuss, and often suggests topics
to his callers In a pleasant, off hand way
to draw them ont. Ho says llttlo himself,
but remembers all ho hears and from
whom he heard It. I would rather tell a
good story to the czar than any man I
know, but I never heard him tell one. He
is particnlarly Interested on nil scientific
and political topics. He will listen as In
tently to a discussion of the political
situation In America as that In Europe, and
the description ot any now discovery will
delight him. He will .inquire minutely
for the details, and will then ask where
he can find further Information. Small
talk and gossip never interests him. Ho
will change the subject at once and
abruptly as soon as It is begun. Ho cares
nothing for newspapers and seldom rends
them, but has a secretary who reads every
Journal of Europe of any Importance, and
Is abio to tell the czar-what he wants to
know of enrrent events.
Looking at his photograph docs not give
one more than a suggestion of the amount
of character In the czar's face. He is a
large, 'splendidly built man, and moves
like an athlete. -Thero 'Is 'Strength In
every motion-if his haodandvery glance
of hlsieye. There Is no 'face among all
tho great men,ot'EnropoTvlth''ir)re char
acter' in 'Its Unes than his, and the chief
characteristic is Metermlnation. He is a
man blither most-intense convictions. He
hates amUhoiloTes-very strongly; never
forgets an'lnjuryiora kindness, but has a
sympathetic disposition, and is inclined to
look upon crime -fts arllsease.
This point was aHndcd to recently in
conversation wlth'anrOfllolal of tlie gov
ernment who has todo-wlthiphllanthropic
Institutions. He told me that the cznr hod
always shown the greatest-interest In the
Humane treatment ,ot .uie Insane, and
had several times expressed the opinion
that most (criminals ivero irartially or
wholly ont-of their-mlnds: Heis much
more lenient toward theNIhillsts-than his
police, and It was through him 'that the
last batch arrested .were sent' to Siberia
Instead ot being executed. He considers
the young men, the students who, engage
In conspiracies against him, as "nm.ttlcs,
and is inclined to treat them generously;
but an officer of the army who is gnllty of
conspiracy or treason he -will nover for
give. In the czar's mind hanging Is too
good Tor him.
"The religious element In' the Character of
the emperor 'is exceedingly strong. He
has always had a serious temperament,
even-whenyxboy, and'has-taken a greater
interest in religious matters than his
father did, orln'fact'anyof his 'predeces
sors. He Is scrupulously exnct'In tho per
formance 'Of nil his religious .'duties,
attends mass'evsry 'morning ofihla.llfe,
and always goes to the icon -of stho Lady
oi Kazan before attempting any great
work or deciding upon Any great, question.

Ilcat Material for Clothing.
The nrimarr oblcct of clothing In cold
climates Is to retain the heat of the body;
in hot climates it may serve the opposite
purposo of proteotlon from the sun, while
in any place a secondary out most im
portant object Is ornament. As to mate
rial, wool is the best for retaining heat,
for It is a bad conductor, and, preventing
loss, feels "warm." It is particularly de
slrable as underclothing for children and
old persons, who liavo not much power of
resisting cold, and reqniro warm cover
ings. In a climate with rapid changes in
temperature the great vnluo of woolen
underclothing Is recognized by ita univer
sal use to mnlutaln an equitable warmth.
In hot weather cotton underclothlug Is
cooler, because it Is a better conductor of
heat, nnd therefore allows of more loss;
but then tt at tho sauio tlrao conducts
more of tho external heat to the skin, and
thus protects It less, nnd it involves tho
risk of sudden nnd rapid fluctuations of
temperature. Furs, like wool, preserve
the heat, whilo linen and silk, like cotton,
allow it to bo more quickly lost.
The color of the outer clothing mnkes
some difference, for black and dark shades
like darK uliie'aasoru tho sun's Tays,'wnne
light bright colors and white rcllect them.
The former are, therefore, suitable for
winter, nnd the latter are preferred in
summer for their coolness, care being
taken that the thickness, nature nnd ar
rangement of tho garments yield the de
sired effect. So fur ns tit is concerned,
loosely fitting articles, other things being
equal, ure warmer than tightly fitting
ones, because the latter Interfere with the
circulation, as cold hands and feet in
tight gloves and boots limply testify. u.

Value ot the "1801" Hollar.
"The fact Is," remarked Mr. Richard
Cogan, one of tho dealers, "that thero Is
not, and probably never was an original

course, one struck In that year, it is
pretty well established now that at that
time it was the custom to use a set of
dies at the mint till they were worn out,
Irrespective of tho year Lhey wero dated.
It is more than probable that an the spec
imens that were struck from tho die of
1804 were made subsequent to that date.
"Of the thirteen or lourteeu that are
now known to exist," said Mr. Cogan,
'two are In tins city, four In Uostou, ouo
in San Francisco, one In Denver,

intervening country. 1 could give iyou

Maj V.'eimore, of 15 Wnverjy place, has

evidently been in circulation. This does
not usually add to tne value oi a coin,

prove .that It was struck In tne. year It
was dated, it might make a big differ
ence."
"How much is a specimen worth to

replied Mr. Cogan. "They have sold all

depends entirely upon how badly tho pur

A Romantic Maiden'. MUtake.
She was very romantic. Her father
was a millionaire, whose life had been de

practical naturally, but all tbe poetry ot
her family was right lu.hcr. She was be

had been rending romances and stuff, and
when ho proposed to Her she declared ho
must do something poetical for her.

"llecome a poor artist."
"I couldn't be any other kind of an art

pretended to paint pictures. Ann mere

Two Clas.es of ltusalan lrleats.
The priesthood of the Husslan church
is composed of two classes, tho white and
black clergy. The latter aie monKs be
longing to tbe several orders of religious
seclusion, and from their numbers all the
bishops and higher ecclesiastical oiuciais
are chosen. They are teachers In the
schools, also tutors in the families of the
nobles, and many of them have been cele
brated for their scnoiarMUp, tneir arustio
genius nnd literary gifts. Asceticism is
not practiced ns it Is in the Roman church,
except luicertaln orders in monastic life
and in flit- fulfillment of vows. During
tlie last century the church estates were
secularized uud confiscated by tlie crown;
then tlie emancipation ot the sens de
prived tho religious orders of a great part
of their wealth, somo of the monasteries
owning 20,000, iiO.000 nnd even 50,000
serfs. This wus a eovere blow to them,
and only a few, such as were possessed of
other wealth, survived it. At present
thero aro about 600 monastic establish
ments throughout tho empire, and most
ot them are wealthy.
There Is' a feeling ot bitter hostility ex-

A Relle ot the War,
Tho Listener witnessed recontly nn In
teresting little ceremony the removal of
three charges from an old revolver, Which
had been borne, nnd evidently used, by
an ofTlccr on tho field of Cedar Creok, on
Oct 19, 1801. On that day, Capt, O. F.
W , of tho Thirtieth Massachusetts,
had, as ho charged with his company tlie
stone wall behind which tho Confederates
were entrenched, drawn this old five
shooter, of tho most approved-nnte war
type, which looks about ns much like tlie
ordinary Colt or Smith & Wesson of this
day as a revolutionary firelock does like
tho latest pattern of mngnzlno riRei The
revolver was loaded, but tho captain had
discharged two shots from It. Then he
wns himself shot through the heart, and
fell. The men pushed on; the Confeder
ates were driven from their position, nnd
defeat turned Into victory; but-when Gen.
Sheridan rode before the reformed Jlne,
aud complimented the troops upon their
bravery, tho gallant captain lay back
upon the field, among the dead nnd
wounded, (
HU revolver, with tho remaining throe ;
charges in It, was sent home tohis family,
and from Hint day to this tho charges re- '
mained In It, like a sheathed weapotrrendy
for service. Occasion had arisen, how
ever,, to pass the old pistol on .to a still
younger hand, nnd It was deemed best to '
draw tho old charges nt last. So tho threo ,
percussion caps, that looked ns old'fash
loned ns n Hint lock Itself to this' genera
tion, wero removed. The .bullaks, -with
their paper cartridges, wero carefully '
drawn; and the powder fell out of them, I
some ot it as bright nnd doubtless as 1

tho captain loaded his revolver before tho I

.Light leptn of Arctlo Saows.
The comparatively light depth-of .Bnow
In the north frigid zone is tolerably easy
of explanation, but the difference In con
sistency between It and tho snmo' material
further south is not so easy to understand.
In the former case we really have.buttwo
seasons when the snow falls the spring
and autumn the Intensely cold weather
of winter being as unfavorable for a snow
storm seemingly as tho summer itself; in
fact, I have seen a snow storm every July
nnd August I was in the Arctic, while
there were a number of months In each
winter of'whlch I could not say the same.
The Eskimo plainly -recognize these two
seasons ot snow storms, and have two
different names for the spring and fall
snows.
During the winter there may be high
winds, which carry the loose snow in
drifting packs, so that n person caught
out in such a gale would think at first
sight that he was in a first class snow
storm; but, nevertheless, none has'fallen,
and although drifts hare 'formed ideeper
here and there, this has been ipicked up
from the ridges and hilltops and the
average depth is the same as before. For
this, too, the natives have a name, and
will inform you that at that temper
ature and that time ot the year
no snow fills. In Greenland ob
servations have been carried on for
many years by Danish meteorologists, and
Dr. Kink, the best authority on that
-region, says that "intnorth Greenland the
'amount of snow annually falling is In
ferior to that of south Greenland," and
this Ihw seems to be general. In short,
the heaviest fall of snow is not la the
frigid no more than in the torrid zone,
but somewhere between the two. Lieut.

Crossing tlie Muddy Rtreet.
I stood at n corner on Main street tho
other day and watched the people making
itheir way across the muddystreet. .Did
you ever notice how differently this Is
done by different people.
There is the lady who pauses moment
arily in dlsmny, then gathers her skirts
with one hand nnd daintily picks! her way,
striving to step where some man's big
brogan has left Its imprint, but falling be
cause the brogan took such long btcps.
Then comes the well dressed man who
never deforms his -shapely feet wlth over
shoes. Ho glances down at his well pol
ished boots, mutters an imprecation about
the street commissioner, and walks across
on his heels, maintaining his balance with
difficulty and losing Ills temper altogether.
'l ho old resident who is used to thls-sort,
ot thing, and who .would not feel at-home
with a clean pavement in thespringitlme,
does not permit the muddy crossing to
delay him, but with a skill, born of long
experience, taKes advantage of every pro
jecting dry spot that tho pavement-affords,
nnd doesn't get very muddy after all.
liut tho man who produced the strong
est impression upon me, the man 'Whom
you will nt once recognize, was the man
whose unpolished boots und insensibility
to dirt euubled htm to disregard the:mud.
This man sets his toot down like.apllo

like a snow plow nnd liberally bespatter

of five yards. You havo met him; every
