Clarence Urmey In Youth's Companion. A STORY OF SIBERIA. SUPERSTITIOUS DREAD DISPLAYED BY THE VILLAGERS. Refused to Bell Their Homes to Alnhe Room For the Construction of a Railway Over powered by the Soldiery, They Set Fire to Their Tlonsea, The following Incident, described by a Kantian writer aud quoted in the magazine Nedelia, throws a vivid light on the ignorance and fnuaticism still prevailing in parts of tho empire and the diOlonlticg with which the govern ment has to contend in carrying ont nch enterprises as the present road across Siberia. The drama occurred in one of the Si berian towns, through whoso suburbs tho railway was to go. The doomed por tion was thickly settled by Rnskoluiks (dissenters), who decided to defend thoir patrimony to the last "It it a possible thing, "said thoy, "that any one should agree to such a sbamoless sale, to be put out by force from his own houseT Who con have the right to destroy the roof whose every thatch was laid by the hands of our ancestors?" "Holy saints, " lamented the Widow Glozilikho, "how am I to soil for money not only the dnst, but the soul of my father, thut lives in my cellar?" The guardians of the true faith pon dered and puzzled whothor it wore pos sible to leave tho neBts whore they were born, but the more experienced among them reasoned thus: "There won't be any help for ns late or early. The point is not that they need our hind for their road thoy oould find nnothor way but we ourselves are in thoir path. Thoy want to scatter ns, to gat at onr souls. Thoy must cut ns ont at the roots or dig np the earth where onr anocstors' dust is bnried, so that our children may grow tip in a strange land, may come forth among the people of the world. That is how the trne faith is to fall I" In this manner the light against expropriation turnod into the defense of the trne fuith. A detachment of troops, the ispravnlk (ohiof of police) and the employees of the railway put in an appearance. Long did the ispravnik argne, making nse of all bis official eloquence to got the rebels to end the matter peaceably and move out of their own accord, in whioh oase he promised to postpone the moment of emigration. The Baskolniks yelled obstinately: "We won't agree 1 Neither now nor tomorrow will we agree!" "Yon won't agree? All right, I am sorry for your children. I had never thought yon were disobedient " The ispravnik waited another moment, rinted and nodded to an under officer, bearded old man of gigantic stature, with sparkling eyes, stepped forward, and clearly and precisely, as If into a speaking trumpet, shouted to the whole region : "Gome ont of your &,rses, sill They are going to destroy the roofs at on oe, and if yon don't bring ont yonr sick, your women, yonr children and yonr cattle, the soldiers will drag them ont" In answer the whole region groaned with a groan. The cries of the women, the screaming of ohildren, the wailing of grandmothers, the bellowing of the cattle as they were led ont, all mingled in the confused roar. The soldiers lined np in an instant They seized the shopkeepers and work men running from the town and drove them to the very edge of the street, into spaces between the houses, and formed a hedge to the road on both sides. A orowd of polioemen, under offloers and railway employees straggled with the women, who fought with fury at their doors, planting themselves on the thresholds of their houses, defending their homes step by step, foot by foot The work went on in every direction. The siok and ohildren were oarried out, the hands of the old men were dragged away from the steps of their houses, to which they olung with ories and weep big. Ladders were brought as if for a Are, some of the employees got quickly on to the roofs and fragments of the thatch came flying down. The expropri ation had begun. In one way or another the inhabitants were becoming to understand that their last hope was gone. The majority began of themselves to oarry out their proper tTL.uid.thQ isprsvolk moderated th coal or lilTinou. Tint at tliat moment an incident took plnce that listened the work of expropriation and served at the same time as proof thnt the old fnith had not grown weak. The widow Glnzikha stepped forth to support it "Flrol Fire 1" shouted someone. "Firel Fire I" exclaimed the whole crowd. The ispravnik, the engineers and the troops looked around. A column of flnmo shot np from the chimney of Glazikha's tightly closed house, long flory tongues apjienred through the crev ices of tho wooden beams, licking the cottage thatch, dried and inflnmmable from the July sun. Glnzikha rushed into her dwelling, barred tho windows and doors from in sldo, then like a mad woman rushed into the kitchen, hnnled ont of it her wholo stock of dried kindlings, lit it herself from her everbnming sacred lamp, and seeing that the flame had caught she prostrated herself in prayer, falling on her knees before the holy icons and died in fanatical worship. The troops had not succeedod in forc ing their way into the houso, when that of Zniken, nt the end of the streot, blazed np. Noxt the blacksmith shop of Oreshkov, standing at the corner, caught, and soon the whole row of honses on the sides had become one glowing mass. The soldiers, policemen and employees, leaving the Inhabitants of the snbnrb to fate, rushed to protect the police station, the stores of grain and other goods. Whon the first sound of alarm bronght the fire engines thnudoriug from the town, there was nothing to save or take away. Tho fire In the snbnrb had died out Fnding no more food, the street wits burned np, and the houses were leveled with the ground. The expropria tion was finished.

A Great Feast of Honey That Two of Them Unearthed. " Von romomber those two coons I told yon nbont thnt we had with the crow and tho dog up In the Cnniherlnnd mountains during the war," said Hor- geant McGrew. "Well, those coons were abont as much fnn as the crow. A coon is pretty fond of devilment himself, And when ho has a crow to help him whoop things up and there are two coons and a crow tho hilarity is pretty continuous. Sometimes we could hardly get any work ont of the men for watch ing tho menagerie. If wo had jnst had a monkey to top off the collection with, I am satisfied no one would have work ed any. We did get a cub bear after awhile, bnt he wns eclipsed by the coons and the crow, though by himself a young pet bear Is good company. "Do you know thnt coons love honey as well as a bear? Well, thoy do, for a fnct There was a great high tree where onr camp was, so tall and big that it shaded our whole camp. I used to no tice that the two coons would go up that tree and got out on ono certain limb and lay there for honrs. I oonltln't account for this except it was that they were hiding from that infernal crow that never gave them any pence. One day I thought I saw a little hole in the underside of thnt limb right under the ooons, and I fancied I saw something moving. I got a fioldglnss, and then I saw bees going In nnd ont The ooons had smelled it out. They couldn't get to it, being on the underside of the limb, but they laid as cloao to it as they oould get, keeping up a mighty switch ing and occasionally running their paws into the holo. But they never got a taste. "Well, I reported the bees nest, and we held a oounoil of war. Some opposed cutting tho tree down becnuse of the shado it gnve us. Others wanted to post pone action, bnt as the enemy was lia ble to chase ns ont any day, and I was as honey hnngry as the coons, I object ed. We decided to chop of? the limb. It was so high np that the fall would have ruined the honey. We had a sailorchap, tbongb, who oonld climb like a monkey, and he rigged np ropes so thnt when the limb was severed it was lowered gently down and never jarred the honey. "Well, we split the limb. You never saw such a find of wild honey. There was nbont a barrolful, I should judga When we had robbed It, we loft the re mains for the ooons, and, Lord, what a time they had I They won Id cock their heads, run their paws down, lick off the honey, and an expression of real heaven ly dollght wonld oreep into their faces. It was funny to watch them chow the comb till the honey was all gone, roll the wax up into a ball in their mouths and then remove it and dip down for more honey. And they seemed to recog nize the service we had done them in ontting down the limb. They thought we had done it for thoir special benefit, and in coon language tbey showed their gratitude as plainly as could be as long as a speck of houoy lasted. After that they returned to original sin and unin terrupted deviltry. "St Louis Post Dispatch. The Treatment of Warts. Whon one has to deal with isolated warts, they must be taken ofT with a sooop. A rather abnndunt hemorrhage follows, which may bo arrested by oom presslon or by cauterization. When wnrts exiBt in large nnmbers, this pro cedure is no longer applicable, particu larly on account of the nnraerous oioa tricos that follow its employment In these oases the bettor way la to shrivel the excresoenoos with nltrlo acid. The tinotnre of thuja is also a very eflloaoious topical application. In cases of condyloma the small tn mors may be dusted with powdered re- soroln or salioylio acid. They may also be oovered with a plaster containing these snbstanoes in the proportion of from 10 to SO per cent When the faoe is studded with a large number of these little warts, which often appear sadden ly, Dr. Kaposi covers them with a piece or flannel with a layer of black soap. This is left on the warts for S4 hours and adheres to the skin, gradually be coming detached with the warts. Another very good application la the following mixture: Flour of sulphur, 90 parts ; glycerin, 60 parts ; pure con oentrated aoetlo acid, 10 parts. The warts are painted with this mixture for several days without taking off the first layer, and gradually the excrescences dry up and beoome detached. For keratosis of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet plasters of resoroin and salioylio aoid are also eflloaoious. If the case is one of mollus onmlike nevus, It is better to employ eleotrolysls. The needle oonneoted with the positive pole is plunged into the tn mor, and a current is passed of from one to two milliampores for about 80 sec onds. This operation is repeated at the end of 8 and IS days. When the nevus is very large, the galvano cautery is preferable. (Jlnolnnatl Enquirer. A Mew Test.

General Harrison Advocates Town Meet ings Onee ot Twlee a Tear. Ex-Presldmit Harrison, in a sories of articles on "This Country of Ours"- in The Ladies' Home Jonrnnl, writes vig orously of the grent nocessityof the peo plo Insisting upon the strict enforcement of the laws. Directly upon this point be says: "We need general assemblies of tho people in tho smaller civil subdivi sions, to be hold regularly once or twioe a year, town meetings in whioh two qnestlous only shall be considered: First, are the publio oil leers inlthiully and honestly transacting the publio busi ness? Second, aro the laws not this law nor that, bnt all laws enforced aud obeyed? All questions of law reform should bo excluded, left to parties or so cieties organized to promote them. The enforcomeut of the law, whether we op posed or aided the making of it; the strict accountability of publio officers, whether we opposed or aided their elec tion, should be the objects aud the lim its of these moetings. There should be no distinction of persons. "Onr law aud order movements are too apt to be confined to what we, not too accuratoly, oull Influential peopla Every man and woman ought to have a chance to choose his side, without re gard to station or wealth or race or col or. There will be none too many. In some such movements it has seemed to me that many have been assigned to the wrong side who wonld have chosen the right There is danger thnt such may accept the place they would not have chosen. Can any working plan be do- vised to maintain from day to day an effective watchful interest among the body of our citizens in the enforcement of tho laws, and In a olean, honest ad ministration of pnblio affairs small and great? Or are we to accept tho hu miliating oonolnslon that bad things canuot be made good, or even better, until they come to be persistently and utterly bad ; or still worso, that when the river of popular Indignation has cleaned the stable it is only to loave us without a supply of wnterfor daily sani tation?" Restitution by an Earthquake, "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good" is a well known axiom whioh was verified once in a somewhat peculiar manner in the Philippine islands. About 14 years ago the first olass iron vessel Rhoodie, of 1,600 tons register, was souttled in Manilla bay, having oanght fire when on the point of sailing With a fnll and valuable cargo of hemp, pearl, shell, gum copal, bar copper and other merchandise. During the earthquake many months later she was thrown up by a tidal wave from where she lay in 13 fathoms of wator to clone inshore in two or three fathoms and was then purchased by an enterprising diving and salvage oompany jnst started in Singapore for the trifling sum of 14, when it transpired that her oargo had not suffered from her long submersion and was valued at abont 60,000. Pearson's Weekly. The Ticking of the Clock. "The tioking of a clock," says Mr. Bngloby, "is a sound so familiar that we take no thought of it till it ceases. Here are two or three of us sitting to gether talking. Suddenly we become dimly conscious that there is something missing ; a moment later some one says, 'The dock has stopped. ' Then we all listen. What a roomful of silence I Then we wind the clock and set it going. How pleasant it is to bear it again, and how loud and plain it sounds at first, but soon it sinks to its accustomed note, and with normal conditions thus restored we resume our conversation. "New York Sun. ' Ixraibroso. Professor Lombroso, the famous criminologist, is thus described by one who knows him well: "In appearance Lombroso is not distinguished. He is short and rather stont; a few silvery threads shine in his dark hair; bis mus tache is gray, his imperial entirely white. His conversation is simple and pleasing and rendered exceedingly inter esting by his powerf ol memory and vast learning. Owing to his long residence in Turin, he uses many Piedmontese words and phrases. " A Bargain. She I bought yon a beautiful box of cigars today. He But I've got cigars to burn al ready. "Yes, but they were so cheap! The man told me the box alone was worth the price I paid. " Yonkers Statesman. Gives Warning. Venomous snakes are slow in doing mischief. The cobra dl capello, the toy of Indian jugglers, retains its fangs, but never uses them except to resent in juries, and then, opening its crest and hissing violently, it darts on its victim, who has notioe to escape.

All throngh thnt pnrt of tho country (northern Ohio) there is a disconut of SO cents on every Canadian dollar. Of course Canadian money is not ns much In circulation as is the legal tender of the United States, bnt there was enough for his purpose. A man advertised in all surrounding country towns that he would redeem Cnnndinn money for 90 cents on the dollar. It was some time, before he had any results from this ad vertising. It was like the tunu who stood on London brldgo nt midnight and offered to give awny sovereigns. People lnnghed at him. The farmers were shy. They thought it was a swindling game of some kind and left him severely alone. One day a man came in with $10 Canadian money. It wus of all shapes nnd sizes from tho G cent piece thnt looks like a dime to a dollar hill drawn on the Bank of Montreal. If he had spent it, he oonld have secured 18 worth of goods for it My man gave him nine big silver dollars in United States mon ey for it Before tho week was out be hnd exchanged United Htutos dollars for 3G0 worth of Canadian money. This wonld give him a profit of $25 wherever Canada money is as good as our own. From that time on the business grad ually increased, until today he nvernges about 160 a week. Instead of having , the farmers come to him he goes to them and buys their accumulated sav ings of Canada coin. They are all his customers and know him well in the five yenrs thoy have done business together. "Are yon not afraid of competition in your business in case it becomes gener ally known?" I asked. "No," said he, "yon see, it requires a comparatively large amount of money as n starting capital. Then I have to have men in the frontier cities who will give me United Stntes money for my Canada currency. I generally take a trip twice a year to Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo, where I make these exchanges. All this requires years of preparation, and no outsider could step in and make ex changes with my patrons, as thoy have all the money they can hnndlo now, even at a 9 per cent commission on the dollar. " Buffalo Express. General Miles. f . ' A member of various social organiza tions, General Miles yet takes much moro pleasure in home than in clnb life. He has the happy art of ranking strong and loyal friends. He has always enjoy ed outdoor sports and nthletio exorcises and did not miss, yon may be sure, be ing at the America's cup races in Sep tember. He is fond of horseback riding and appears to great advantage mount ed, bnt has come to prefer tho bicycle, and in his daily spins on the wheel his daughter or his son, a lad about to enter his teens, is often his companion. He likes to have pet animals about him, es pecially good dogs, "and his pots," as a friend once said, "are the pets of the whole family." In manner the general is quiet and self controlled, bnt none the less affable and courteous, nnd it has been remarked that he nover refuses to see anybody who calls upon him. Perhaps it is a system atio method In routine work, with a habit of beginning as soon as possible whatever has to be done, that gives him this abundant leisure for visitors. The members of his family have acoess to bis library in his working hours and nover seem to disturb him. He is free from affectations and presents no eccentrici ties or angularities with which to point a "oharaotor sketch. " George E. Pond in MoClnre's Magazine. Oarlyle Corrected. At a Royal academy dinner in London some years ago several artists were ex pressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, were among the guests. Mrs. Annie C Wil son tells the story of what followed : "His glorious coloring is a fact about Titian, " said one man, striking the ta ble to give emphasis to the remark. "And his glorious drawing is another fact abont Titian I" cried another artist And so they went on until Carlyle, -who bad been listening in silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis : "And here I sit, a man made in the image of God, who knows nothing abont Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact nout Titian." Thackeray was sipping claret at the) moment He pansed and bowed courte ously to Carlyle. "Pardon me," he said; "that appears to me to be not a fact abont Titian, bnt a fact, and a 1am ejitable one,, about Carlyle. " Knew How It Wonld Be. The simplicity of children is some times hard to fathom. In the following case, for instance, reported by an ex change, was the boy's innocence real or affected? He had brought home his monthly school report, whioh made a poor show ing. "This is very unsatisfactory," said his futher as be looked it over. "I am not at all pleased with it " "I knew you wouldn't be," answered the little boy. "I told the teacher so, but she said she couldn't change it " Youth's Companion. Captain ' Sweeney, U. S.
