BRIGHT LlGHT 0N" SIBERIA.

The Great Russian Raierad Opening Up
. Fairy Lands of Beauty.

Pronounce the word “Siberia” in the
presence of the pupils of our primary
schools or of a number of Frenchmcn‘
and immediately their imagination
evokes a most formidable heap, of
mountains of ice and plains of snow,
infested by_ gigantic white bears; in
fact, a kingdom of terror and of death.
But that, in reality, is only the very
smallest portion of Siberia, The rest
of it contains the most fertile lands in
the world with forests in which all the
people in Europe might go astray and
be lost, and mines containing treasures
compared to which those of Golconda
would be small indeed: '

But this wonderful country has re-
mained up to the present time as little

were in another-planet, for it was no
less inaccessible and impenetrable,
practically speaking, than the plains 01
Mars or the mountains of the moon.
But a great change is near at hand.
'Before the end of five or six years,
when the means of communication
which are now establishing shall be
placed at the disposal of science,labor,
and capital, there will be a, revolution
in the present economic domain whose
extent and consequences nobody now
can foresee. Certainly it will produce
great benefits, because it will bring to
the service 'of the human race incal-
culable riches and natural resources
which have lain idle since their forma-
tion; but it will change so profoundly
the existing conditions of production,
of exchanges, and of values that one
cannot measure the immense eiTect of
sucha powerful cause. ‘

It should be remembered that Siberia
is not the only region in the Russian
empire destined to bring out new and
abundant riches Although infinitely
smaller in extent the region of the
Caucasus will certainly have its share
in the development of Russia as soon
as it is penetrated and fully explored.
This legendary land which played so
conspicuous a part in the legends of
antiquity, where chained Prometheus
called Helios to witness the tortures
that he endured for justice, presents in
its formation the most varied and high-
ly colored flower that can be seen in
any part of the Old W'orld or of the
New. What may we, not expect from
it when its resources are developed by
modern man? '

When a terrifying suggestion is

‘ shared by a mass of people at once,

the result is disastrous. The p‘anic
is a familiar illustration of this. The
danger which each man could easily
brave inane becomes so intensified in
being reflected upon him from a thous-
and frightened faces that he gives
away and becomes for the time being
an unreasoning struggling animal.
During every great strike such phe
nomena are common. A crowd
gathers, the spirit of disorder is
abroad, and in a few moments every
man is vying with his neighbor to see
how much damage he can do, In these
cases the frequently repeated sugges-
tions given by the words,‘ and still
more by the deeds, of others overcome
the results of years of training in or—
derly habits, and when the excitement
has subsided many a participant in‘ a
riot may fall to wondering “what in
the world possessed him?" The col-
loquail phrase, like many another, 'en-
shrines a truth. He was indeed pos-
sessed—not by any evil spirit, to be
sure, but by myriads of delicate physi-
cal impulses, which, streaming in
through eye and' ear, prompted him
with almost irrestible force to violence.
Phenomena of this sort are nothing
more than Nature’s experiments in
suggestibility
scale for our benefit.
Not Pleased \Vith His \Valk.

“My wife is the hardest woman to
please that ever was, I do verily be-
lieve.”

“For instance.”

“Well, when I leave the house in the
morning I dare not walk fast or she
will twit me of being anxious to get
away from her.”

“Then walk slowly.”

“Well, if I do that, she comes at me
with: ‘I guess you haven’t much to do
to-day, have you, you don’t seem to be
in much of a hurry to get to work.’ I
tell you a woman can be most awful
disagreeable if she lays herself out for
it Once—Dansville ’Breeze. ’

A Sickly Place Indeed.

“It is very sickly here,” said one of
the sons of the Emerald Isle to an-
other, _

“Yes,” replied his companion, “a
great many have died this year that
never died before.’_’ ‘

An Irishman, having feet of different
sizes, ordered his boots to be made ac-
cordingly. His directions were obeyed,
but as he tried the smallest boot on his
largest foot, he exclaimed, petulantly,
“ Confound that fellow! I ordered him
to make one larger than the other; and
instead of that he has made one

 

smaller than the other.”

TALKlNG \fg’lTH EJZCJTR Eva,
A Frenchman Who Let:- I Engage the
Animals in Conversation.

In i857 Jules Richard had occasion to
visit a. sick friend in a. hospital, where

a matte the acquaintance of an old
official of theinstitution from the south
of France, who was exceedingly fond
of animals, his love of them being
equaled only by his hatred of priests,
writes Prof. E. P. Evans in Popular
Science Monthly. He claimed also to
be perfectly familiar with the lan-
guages of cats and dogs, and to speak
the language of apes even better than
the apes themselves.

' J ulcs Richard received this statement
with an incredulous smile, whereupon
the old man,whose pride was evidently
touched by such skepticiSm, invited
him to come the next morning to the
zoological garden.

‘ “I met him at the appointed time
and place," says Mr. Richard, “and we
went together to the monkeys’ cage,
where he leaned on the outer railing
and began to utter a succession of
guttural sounds, which alphabetical
signs are scarcely adequate to reprev
sent—‘Kirruu, kirrikiu, kuruki, kin.
ikin’—repeated with slight variation
and differences of accentation.

“In a. few minutes the whole compa-
ny of monkeys, a. dozen in number, as-
sembled and sat in rows before him
with hands crossed in their laps or
resting on their knees, laughing, gee.
ticulating and‘ answering.”

The conversation continued for a
fullquarter of an hour, to the delight
\of the monkeys, who took a. lively part
in it. As their interlocutor was about
to go away they all become intensely
excited, climbing up the balustrade
and uttering cries of lamentation;
when he finally departed and disap-
peared more and more from their view,
they ran up to the top of the cage, and
climbing to the frieze made motions as
if they were bidding him good-by. It
seems, added Mr. Richard, as though
they wished to say: “We are sorry to'
part, and hope to meet again, and if

you can’t come drop us a. line.”

 

A NEW ENGLAND FARMER.

 

He Tells How He Came to Be Possessed
or a. Snug Little Pile of Cash.

He was waiting for the Grand Trunk
train at Lewiston Junction—~a1ittle;
bowed man with a. fringe of frosty}
whiskers under his chin. He told his.
life-story in five minutes, says the
Lewiston Journal. Some men would
need volumes, and even then could
boast of but a. little of the patient he-I
roism and unwinkin" diligence pose,
sessed by the little oE-l man. Just be-
fore the war opened he bought a farm
in Massachusetts. Up to that time he
had been a carpenter and by frugality
had saved 32,500. Me was just old
enough to escape the draft. The farm
was valued at $4,000, and therefore
when he had paid in his hoard he still
owed 91.500. The farm was not.

‘ stocked : “:d be had no money. He ex—

plained ? ls situation to a. business man
and the 2:;tter lent. him $500 on a per-
sonal not-e.

man. “and Ispent it all. But I got
some good. stock. I paid as high as
$80 for a cow. Then whcnIhad.my

'stock I had noborscs and no farming

tools. I bought all these on tick.
When I got ready for business the out:
look seemed sorter blue, and I didn’t,”
know hOW' I was coming out, but I.
went to work and kept at work. I had-
help only in hayingtime. All the rest.
of the work I did alone and was 31-.
ways up before light when the days
Were short. I lived on that farm for
thirty years. I gave it to my son a
little while ago, and we figured it at
$5,000, but it’s worth more’n that.
Furthermore, though I ain’t saying it
to brag, I’ve got $13,000 invested in
mortgages, and all drawing seven per
cent. interest.”

MICE RUN MACHINERY.

Gentleman in Scotland Utilizes Their Tin}!
Power.

A gentleman in Scotland has trained
a. couple of mice, and invented ma.-
chinery for enabling them to spin
yarn. The work is done on the‘tread-
mill principle. It is so constructed,
Says London Tid—Bits, that the com-
mon house mouse is enabled to make
atonement to society for past offenses
by twisting and reeling from 100 to 120
threads a day. To complete it the lit-
tle pedestrian has to run ten and one-
half miles. This journey it performs
every day with ease. An ordinary
mouse weighs only half .a‘n ounce. . A
halfpenny worth of oatmeal at 1s 3d
the peck serves one of these treadmill
culprits for the long period of. five
weeks. In that time it makes 110
threads 8. day, being an average of
8,850 threads of 55 inches, which is
nearly nine lengths of the reel. A pen-
ny is paid to women for every cut in
the ordinary way. At this rate a.
mouse earns 9d every five weeks,
which is 1 farthing per day, or 7s‘ 6d
per annnm. Take 6d of? for board, and
Is for machinery, there will arise 6s

 

"clear profit from every mouse yearly.

 

Ho Found Out.
A youth -in the employment of a.
large manufacturing concern in Pitts-
burgh left one Friday evening to stay

rover Sunday. On Monday he wanted

to stay a little longer, and telegraphed
to the firm: “Do you need me? If.
not, I shall stay.” No response was
received, Which so alarmed him that
he hurried back at noon. Finding
everything all right, he was reproach-
ing himself for his haste, when his un-
cle, one of the heads of the firm, sent
for him. He found‘ the old‘ gentleman
“My boy,” he
said, sharply, “this telegram, I under,-
stand, is from you. It reads: ‘Do you
need me? If not, I shall stay.’ Did

.. you send it?” “Yes, sir,” came the an;

swer. meekly. “You didl. Then let
me tell you, sir,” thundered the uncle,
“that I have been here forty years,
and they don’t need me.” The tele-

' gram was laid down, and the head of

the establishment picked up his .pen.
The nephew knew that the interview
was over, and, just as he was closing
ire door, he heard his uncle mutter,
vornfully: “Do they need incl".

Electric Bitters.

.Eiectric Bitters is a medicine suited for '
any season, but perhaps more generally

needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prcnept use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No menicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
